    Last time we were in town, we finally stopped by Chew Chew Cookies and we were absolutely delighted! First of all, safety precautions were followed for COVID-19. Thank you, Chew Chew Cookies! Second, the decor is EXCEPTIONAL! The entryway is full of lush green plants. Once you are past the entryway, the left and center of the store are brimming with delicious and delightful baked goods. The right side of the story is an incredible model train set of the area. So detailed and fun! Brought the name, Chew-Chew Cookies, to life! The wonderful staff lady who helped us was very kind. She helped us find an adorable holiday tin and fill it with three sets of different cookies: (1) Mexican Chocolate, (2) Rocky Road, and (3) Strawberry Cake. The cookies were so good they lasted only a few days. We can't wait for our next trip back to the area so that we can try some more cookies!

    The Gooey Cookies are fantastic!

    My family and I had an amazing trip to Galena over the weekend and always know it's such a fun time walking and checking out all the cool shops and amazing architecture of the town. We stumbled across this quaint little shop and we, of course, love cookies. (Who doesn't!?) The store is amazing! Nice inside and cool atmosphere. Checking out all of the awesome artwork hanging on the walls and you can't help but notice the HUGE model train set that's running in the store. Super detailed little town setup and I believe 3 trains going at once. My Son was amazed! And the cookies. The cookies are just outstanding. I especially love the Gooey cookies. So good. My Wife got the "Better Than Your Boyfriend" Brownie. Let me just tell you, girlfriend/boyfriend, it doesn't matter. This Brownie will change your life. It's simply perfect. Home made caramel is used with it. Aside from the AMAZING COOKIES and atmosphere, the hospitality was stellar. I'm honestly not sure of her name, but the woman working (whom I believe was the owner) was so great. We were eating dinner at Gobbie's down the street and not going to make it in time to get the cookies before Chew Chew closed. I called and she answered and I explained the situation. She STAYED OPEN FOR US and bagged all our order up and had it ready!!! Excellent customer service and amazing food. 10 out of 10 for me. Definitely a MUST STOP if you are in Galena. Thank you ME

    Best brownies ever! However, the lady (not owner) working here isn't nice, shes very rude. Really surprised by her lack of customer service.

    The cookies & brownies were dry and tasted like nothing. Do not waste your money here.

    The brown sugar pecan cookies are so good that we are planning to drive the 2.5 hours back to Galena just to get them again.

    We were visiting Galena from Chicago for our son's third birthday. I did a Yelp search for bakeries…read morenearby and came across Triple Tier Bakery. She was so accommodating and easy to work with. She made an amazing Spider-man cake in 2 days notice and it was delicious! Definitely worth the 25 minute drive from Galena. Wish she was closer to Chicago - I would be a regular customer.

She provided excellent guidance in making decisions on the choices. We provided a photo of what we were looking for and the results surpassed our expectations. Tiffany set up the cake and cupcakes in such a beautiful manner, with special touches. Three key points in working with Triple Tier: 1. Through our interactions, her questions, and how accommodating Tiffany was, the care and attention she provided made it clear she really wanted to do her part to make sure the event was wonderful. We live three hours away and were able to take care of all the details through phone/email/text. 2. As stated the end product was beautiful and exceeded expectations. We ordered vanilla, chocolate, and carrot cake cupcakes. There was a light dusting of cinnamon on the carrot cake frosting making it easy to tell them apart. The attention to detail was wonderful. 3. The actual taste of the cake and cupcakes was amazing. The flavor of each was distinct and delicious. The frosting was perfect, not too sweet. I have no idea how she did it, but the bride and groom wanted a marble cake and it was marbled. It looked like marble, not like traditional bakery marble cake. After tasting the cake, they both remarked "Ok that is a really good cake!" I highly recommend Triple Tier - We have a favorite bakery where we live and the Triple Tier cake and cupcakes surpassed the deliciousness of our local expert.

It's hard to find one around here anyway--in all the time I've lived in Chicago I have only found them a few times, and usually they have a stop of bacon on them (yuck), so finding one that was true to origins made me happy. And it was pretty good! It was pretty fluffy, and I've had ones that are much more dense and not as tasty. The cinnamon roll was just ok. I think that's mostly because I didn't like the icing; I think it was a pretty simple one made of powdered sugar, but I prefer a different type. The maple frosted fritter was disappointing. The woman working was nice enough. They did have lots of items to choose from and I couldn't decide so that's why I got a few things to haves a few bites of each. The price was outstanding, and that was nice too! They have lots of breads here, as well as hamburger and hot dog buns, and if I was heading to a picnic I'd get some to take along.

    This bakery does not disappoint! Everything I bought there was great!…read more I originally stopped to only try their cream-filled chocolate covered donuts. But of course while waiting in line I was overtaken by a bakery trance....I ended up with a loaf of whole-wheat sandwich bread, a bag of snickerdoodle cookies, a bag of chocolate chip cookies and four cream-filled donuts. The whole take was only around $17.00. Incredible price and incredible product! It's a good thing I don't live nearby....

My fiancé and I were looking for something Hispanic or Asian for lunch and opted for la michoacana. The proteins in both of our dishes were dry and tasted like it was cooked about a week ago. The rice was bland, looked and tasted old. The service was fine, we were in and out within 35 mins. It was pretty empty while we were there and it was prime lunch time. We saw 1 other group come in for what we thought was for ice cream but then they left without purchasing anything.

I shared a mangonada with the hubs and also shared the shrimp fajitas. Many shrimps and good size for $22. I did ask for extra tortillas and asked how much would it be and she said she didn't know. But stood there. So I asked...if you can please find out if you don't know? That would surely help. Then she went to ask the price for me. She was probably 13 years old helping the family out. And another little boy was there bussing. I felt like the creepy adult being served by child labor so that made me feel kinda bad. It was also strange to have ice cream on one side of the restaurant and then table next to it for lunch. Would my food gets cold? The little girl also made a mistake and undercharged me for the shrimp fajitas that was $5 less and also didn't charge me for the tortillas while being busy on the phone. What did I do? I had to tell her about it because again, I felt bad!!!! My son ordered the kids meal grilled cheese with fries and it was just ok. Unfortunately it was not as good as the La Michoacana in my hometown. There are many restaurants in Galena and I actually felt like I made a mistake with this one 3 stars for the mangonada and shrimp fajitas was actually decent.
