It is inconveniently located in back and down one floor, of a small shopping plaza in downtown Bartlett; the Google maps picture is accurate. Ok, I get it rent is cheaper here, and you are a small mom & pop shop. Giving you a pass on this one. Their website accurately portrays the goods sold here - except - a reference scale for the products; my attached pictures show the LARGE container next to a ruler (in inches). Holy c***, I said, as my package was handed to me at pickup. Would a 'small' require an electron microscope to view it? You be the judge. Mind you my cheesecake DNA has one standard only - Eli's of Chicago. This was nowhere near this standard so it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Cost - $14.56 with tax, not a big hit on my wallet, but it will be the last hit from this establishment as I am not coming back - ever As far as a 'bang for the buck' factor - sorry again, sure cant say that Did not buy it or consume it myself, I let another person in the household be the crash test dummy; sure glad I did p.s. I take no pleasure at all in writing a review like this, but in all honesty, I have to call it like I see it.

We were so happy we chose Sweet Haven Bakery for our gender reveal cupcakes!!!…read more They were a hit. Everyone loved them! The design was beautifully done and it tasted even better than it looked. We ended up having the vanilla cupcakes w/ raspberry lemon fruit filling (it was a girl!) Christine was wonderful and easy to work with and had excellent communication, especially dealing with our family member who was secretly communicating our gender reveal results. 10/10 I would recommend your next party/event with Sweet Haven!

I would avoid this establishment…read more I called on 1/27 at 12:40 PM to order vegan cupcakes for my son's birthday. The employee, Tim, told me they had 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate vegan cupcakes available. I requested 4 chocolate cupcakes, and he said I would need to prepay and that they would be ready in 15 minutes. I was surprised they could be prepared that quickly, but went along with it. We picked them up about 30 minutes later and brought them home. That evening, my son tried one and it was extremely hard, with grainy frosting. Overall, the cupcake tasted terrible. We didn't eat the remaining three and left them in the box. The next day, I returned to the shop to share my concerns and was told Tim would call me back. He did call and said they had tried a cupcake and felt it tasted fine. He also told me that I may not know what vegan cupcakes taste like. I didn't argue, but I've had plenty of vegan desserts before, and they've never been this inedible. He then explained that the batter used was leftover from a cake made a week earlier and that it's common practice for them to freeze batter and make cupcakes later. I was surprised to hear this. More disappointing was that there was no attempt to make things right or offer any solution--only to explain why they wouldn't provide a refund. I told him that was fine, but that I wouldn't be returning or recommending their shop and would be sharing my experience. If you're looking for vegan options or any dessert options and decent customer service, there are plenty of other places in the area. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I've been going to Franco's for years, and it has consistently been one of my favorite bakeries…read more Their fresh bread is excellent, and my favorites are the butter cookies and the cannoli. Their sandwiches and prepared foods are always delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality baked goods, Franco's is definitely worth a visit.

Their sandwiches are some of the best in the suburbs. The bread is so excellent but their meats are great quality. The oven roasted turkey makes my wife and son swoon. Their pastries are better than the best bakeries in the area. Especially now that Jorosch's changed hands. I just ate half a pecan roll and I don't think there is a better one. The chocolate frosted donuts are top quality. The pizza is not Chicago style and it is heaven. The place is impeccably clean and the staff is so nice and hard-working. The only complaint is their hours and I just can't let it affect my rating. Highly recommended.
