Great spot to get Brunch ! Delicious Food , Beautiful Pastries and Cake. Really Nice Staff.

First thing's first: This is the most overpriced bakery you're ever going to find. You'd think they mill their own special flour with the ridiculous, home-grown beef sort of pricing. The service for the bakery section is terrible. If you're stopping in for a bite to eat, you'll get better service in the dining area. But this is a bakery and the employees should be bending over backwards to sell their expensive goods. Instead, the ladies behind the counter shrink away to the back of the building when a customer dares to approach. It's total self-service out there until you get to the cashier. The baked goods themselves are not worth the price at all. I just spent $33 on two boxes of butter cookies that had no date on them. Half the cookies are stale and a couple of the broken ones look like they were bitten. I should have learned my lesson the last time I came here, when I bought a loaf of pumpkin bread that ended up actually being cranberry. Overrated and overpriced with worse customer service than the DMV. Steer clear. read more

The best cakes and gorgeous and delicious cookies! Highly recommend! We adore the rainbow cakes with sprinkles especially.

Wedding cakes are fab!! So are the mini desserts. We really loved having them at the sweets table.

This is the best prettiest bakery I've ever been to. The building is so sweet, it looks like a shoppe they'd have in Europe. I recommend the fresh strawberry bismarks, chock full of fresh juicy strawberries, wonderful cream filling and powdered sugar on top! i have had many other items and they all are delicious. The staff there help pack your items better than I packed them. They have boxes that you can pick to load your items on! read more

Thank you Deerfields Bakery . Perfect high school logo on the cake and it was delicious!!! read more

I highly recommend people try their tuna salad croissant sandwich! It is very fresh and just the perfect lunch option. Great tasting tuna salad with lettuce and tomato on a warmed flaky and soft croissant bun. Yum so good! Comes with a side of fries too. read more

This was the first time I ordered pies for Thanksgiving instead of making them myself. Oh my, the pumpkin with whipped cream was to die for. Everyone loved it! The Dutch Apple we served warm with vanilla ice cream it was amazing!! I will definitely order again. read more

Great customer service. We always order from Deerfield's in buffalo grove and never had a disappointment. Affordable prices too. Very kind and willing to work with you for whatever needs you have! Thanks Buffalo Grove team! read more

Great Bakery. I love going here.I send my husband to the post office, because if go to the post office I will HAVE to stop at Deerfield ( it is just across the post office). The crossaints are awesome, the BEST I have to say. UPDATE: The Hot cross buns during Easter are awesome!! You have to try them!! read more

Extremely disappointed and dissatisfied.....ordered a cake 5 days before it was needed for Passover. Just went in to pick up the cake and there was not only no record of the order, they had NO cake. I attempted to speak to several people who told me that since I was making them unhappy, they were finding it difficult to be nice to me. EXCUSE ME???? Last time I checked, it is their responsibility to make the customer happy and I know I'm being demanding...have my order ready for me!!!! Their solution was to find someone else's order to give to me and the bakery manager's response when I questioned him where the cake came from...."oh, it's someone else's order. I'll just deal with them later ". Really???? This from Deerfield bakery?? Shocking and disappointing to say the least. read more

The food gets a solid, five star rating but its the severely lacking customer service that gets one star. I have always enjoyed the pasteries here. I have brought goodies to work and many times my bestie and I have come here on a girls fun day and indulged in a calorie, carb, sugar fest lunch that would put anyone in a diabetic coma. My dad and I have stopped by here as well for some goodies for my step mom's birthday as well. The little pastries are to die for. The red velvet doughnuts are killer, and the chocolate, peanut butter bismarks are like nothing I ever had. The filing has a great peanut butter taste but light and fluffu like whipped cream. I have gotten both apple and cherry coffee cakes for work and they were a big hit. Needless to say, I do love all the goodies they have to offer (even though my wasitline doesn't) What I have noticed is the complete crap customer service. The people being the counter look unhappy to be there and it shows in their attitude. Unfriendly, short, and almost snippy. The final straw was when my step mom and I brought back a challah purchased for the holidays. When she brought it home, it looked pretty dark (burnt) but we tried it. It was so dry it fell apart. After one piece, we left the rest unsliced, wrapped it up, and took it back the following day. The girl at the counter did everything to blame us. Saying it's dry because we must have left it out. Are you kidding me?? We asked for a manager and explained its obviously burnt and too dry. She put her hand in the middle of the challah. Not on, IN. Yup, she took it out of the bag and dug a hole in the middle to see if we were lying. Then she took a taste of it. I was speechless (anyone thst knows me, knows that quite a task). WTF just happened? Finally she refused us the money. I work in the food industry and I would never argue with someone who said they were unhappy and I would sure as hell never take a bite of their food in order to see if they had a legitimate reason to complain. I'm still in shock over it all as I write this and it was a little while ago. read more

I love Deerfield's Bakery! Anytime I order a cake it is just perfect... From the cookies to the amazing donuts... Also, the pizza coffee cake is my favorite read more

I'll echo Andrea's sentiments...Deerfields smells all kinds of amazing. You basically walk in and want to eat through your nose. And who wouldn't with the sugary sweet smells wafting through the air? And while the cookies, and pastries, and cakes (oh my!) looked incredible, we were there for lunch. The savory menu is a bit limited, but what I ordered was pretty delicious albeit heavier than expected - 1/2 of the daily special sandwich (turkey, avocado, and bacon on pretzel bread) and a cup of soup. I even got a cookie - no complaints there. The sandwich was flavorful and filling and just what I was looking for in a substantial lunch. I could have done without the soup - it wasn't much to write home about. Their coffee bar is full of tasty beverages - both my Rishi tea at lunch and decaf Americano afterwards were fresh and tasty. As for the location and setup, it's definitely skewed more towards a quick lunch locale than a sit and chat/get work done, but it certainly works in a pinch. You can bet next time I'm in the area I'll "wander" in here to grab a few sweet treats! read more

Loved the cake that we had for my nieces 5th birthday. It tasted just as good as it looked. Thank you for always supplying us with the best desserts. read more

Quite the selection of baked goods here. Just about every kind you can imagine. Pastries, cakes, breads, all looking good. Check out the mini-donuts. Goods are not inexpensive, but you pay for quality. Cafe inside to enjoy a coffee with your purchase if you like. Quite a nice bustling place. Cheers to all read more

Just want to update info . Was pleasantly surprised at the response to my review. I was contacted straight away and the owner said because of my review that all the staff would be trained on the new coffee machine and to please come and try again. l haven't had a chance to try the cappucino since but when I get back will update again. Took me a long time to get back, but I did eventually and the cappuccino was great. They know how to use the machine and you should go and try. read more

Love, love this cozy bakery! Staff and management are super friendly! Omg, the baked goods are to die for! We will definitely be back to enjoy our weekend mornings! read more

Deerfields is a delightful bakery that doubles as a cute little cafe. I work not too far from here, so I was first introduced to the delectable baked goods via coworkers bringing goodies in. Cookies, cakes, tarts, donuts, strudels, you name it, it's all been good. I knew from stopping in myself once or twice that they also had a cafe here with hot breakfast (eggs, quiches, pastries, etc) and lunch, so I did stop in for lunch myself one day to check it out. The menu is mostly sandwiches, salads, soup and a few sides. I went with a half turkey sandwich and the soup of the day, which was a creamy corn chowder. Better yet, it was served with two chocolate chip cookies! The food was tasty, the soup hot and fresh and creamy. I will say it was quite chilly in the corner near the door that day; I don't know if that's typical. They do have additional seating upstairs, which might be warmer. I highly recommend Deerfields for all your baked goods needs, and for a cafe breakfast or lunch it's pretty on the spot too. read more

Their 'stuff' looks better than they taste. Queen Liz crown cake looked so good, I had to buy it. But it turned out the yellow cake was a little dry and nasty to cut and serve. Same with their little animal cakes. Beautiful frosting job, cute as hell to look at and great to give away but the dry cake inside was underwhelming. Their pastries and donuts look fantastic and I'd bet these will taste dead on. Will try them next time. read more

You guys make the best everything in the area! Everyone should go to Deerfields bakery for your sweet and tasty treats. I have ordered numerous cakes and have always been delighted. I am now ordering a 2020 graduation cake and cant wait to pick it up. read more

First address is correct location description wrong. It is Buffalo Grove Road and CHECKER Road. Across the street from the BG Post Office and the other side of the street from St. Mary's Parish. OK now, love Deerfields, yes, this location, no. Can't put my finger on it but I will drive the extra miles for the original. This location runs out of everything fast (which means it is good) however, they could refill if they know that this happens often (which it does). Love the coffeecakes and donuts, but the cakes really don't taste like much. The look fantastic, but lack in the taste department read more

This place is my favorite place to go for weekend breakfast out. Even when I decide to make breakfast at home I still go to Deerfields to pick up a bagel and homemade chive cream cheese. When I eat there, I usually get an omelet with their fresh, homemade salsa. I love that their salsa tastes just like the kind I make at home (no mysterious jarred goo. Think actual chunks of tomato and onion...mixing perfectly with melted cheddar over egg...mmmn.) The food usually comes out very quickly - after you order they give you a number and receipt and you go pay (well, in theory. I usually wander the pastries and donuts aisles, drooling all over the sneeze guard until they give me my food and then I go pay and sit down.) If you go sit they will bring the food too you though. It gets super busy on the weekends in between 9-12. Last Sunday I couldn't even find parking right away. Avoid the after-church crowds...! So, absolutely check this place out! I have been wanting to try their lunch as well but haven't yet had the opportunity. read more

Recently I ordered my first party cake from this place. I uploaded a picture through the bakery's website and got an email acknowledging the same and with instructions on how to go about placing the order. The customer service was customer-friendly and very professional. I ended up ordering a double layered (1layer yellow and 1layer chocolate with fresh strawberry fillings) cake with whipped cream topping. I must say that the quality was really great. People loved it. Definitely a 5 star place for cakes and pastries. read more

Deerfields Bakery is delicious, if you know what to order. My favorite is the buttercream cupcakes--they are to die for.Yum! (Sometimes the frosting is kinda frozen though :( ) I am not a fan of the set up inside. By the time you get to the register, there is a huge line and the cashiers are so slow and often don't know what they are doing. I love the fact that they have a drive-thru, but they only have a few things that you can get there from the bakery! ahh! apparently they had a bigger variety but got rid of a buncha stuff. grr! read more

Other reviews about poor customer service are spot-on. Never greeted with a smile here. Long faces....Management must be draconic. The donuts and coffee cakes are excellent. The prices are heart attack worthy. I no longer buy cakes or cheesecakes here for special occasions, as they look beautiful, but taste is lacking. My local Jewel (!) does gorgeous tortes and cheesecakes that taste better and are reasonably priced I'll run in for a Bavarian cream donut or coffeecake, but that's about all. read more

If you're not buying your cakes from Deerfield's Bakery are you really even living? Every single cake I've ever purchased from these guys has been hands-down the best cake ever read more

Deerfields Bakery was great to work with! I had a unique request for 250 cookies individually wrapped due to Covid-19. I appreciated their flexibility and ability to adapt quickly to our "new normal". read more

Whipped cream............................the only way to go. Don Roth's uses them for birthday cakes. Really the best bakery in the suburbs. 3/11/08 UPDATE Why do I not read other reviews? Shit! I had no idea they served breakfast and lunch! And their coffee is very good too. No, you can't get your specialty coffee drinks, just REAL COFFEE, they way it was meant to be...ok, you can get a shot of flavored syrup too. And it's WAY cheaper than going to Starschmucks which is just a hop, skip and a jump away. Of course, you have a great selection of treats! Cakes, cookies, pastries, bagels, breads....mmmmm! read more

Deerfield's is the best. Now that we live so close, we've gone for lunch and breakfast several times. Food is usually good, if not great. Surprisingly I think my favorite thing so far has been the breakfast burritos. The treats are of course the best part - yummy donuts, cinnamon bread, cookies, cakes, etc. Half the fun is just looking at all the beautiful pastries! I also ordered a custom cake for my son's birthday party - Curious George - and it came out great, very cute, tasty, perfect. The only negative I can think of is sometimes they are out of things or their menu isn't updated so they no longer make things that are on the menu. That's sort of frustrating and the staff always seems less than impressed that you've tried to order something they don't have! So the service isn't always perfect...but overall it's still a great local place! read more

We have not been to this location (only the original) - and for us too, it's a long haul to get there - but the trip is definitely worth the trek. I'm a pretty good cook - in fact (in)famous people have paid me to cater their parties - but no one can hold a candle to these master bakers. Now that we're only a year shy of our Crystal Anniversary - I'm STILL kicking myself for not hiring them to do our Wedding Cake! They are seriously THAT good and I only wish I had a penny for every glorious goodie they've sold! read more

People must be visual because the visuals look great but the pastries or nothing that extraordinary if you want really good pastry try Swedish Bakery in Andersonville read more

For starters, I bought six apple strudels from six different bakeries including this place for a blind taste contest - four from the city and two from the burbs. A dozen or so people participated. This place came in first. Excellent coffee cakes, especially cheese and chocolate chip. Creative cakes. Good bread and quality, though slightly pricey spreads. They do occasionally run out of items a little early - nice that stuff is fresh, but can be frustrating. read more

This location knows how to do it! Great bakery products & LUNCHES (and breakfast!) Great sandwiches, they come with chips and two cookies! Yay! And if you are a lady on a mission like me, they package it in a nice to go container that keeps your chicken salad off your cookies! If I have time in the AM, I pick up sweets from here for the office crazies. Everyone goes gaga for Deerfields. NOTE - They even have doggie treats! read more

I love the bakery items at the other Deerfield's, but this review is solely based on my breakfast with my hubby on Sunday. We both got the french toast and eggs special. Absolutely nothing special or memorable about it. I was shocked that a place with such great bakery could have such mediocre french toast. Anyways, this is not the closest Deerfield's to my house and since the food is not very good I think I will just stick to the Schaumburg location for bakery items. read more

Deerfields makes delicious cakes - and when you're buying a birthday cake, taste is all that matters. I list the minor drawbacks first, because they are easily outweighed by the positives. DRAWBACKS Your cake options are somewhat limited, meaning you cannot pick and choose any style cake/frosting combination. You are limited to certain combinations. Cake style and decoration aren't all that great. We've ordered two cakes now, the latest just last weekend. The top of the cake was a gorgeous design, but when you looked at the cake from the side, the cake looked crooked! It was just a matter of icing that was applied somewhat off-line. It doesn't affect the taste, but it did look like the cake was leaning one way. POSITIVES: We've gotten two cakes with fresh strawberries and custard as the fillings, with whipped cream frosting. The fillings do a perfect job of accenting the cake - which is very moist and just right. We opt for the whipped frosting because it is lighter. A bite of this cake feels like a bite of a cloud. Highly recommended. read more

We ordered our wedding cake from Deerfield Bakery. The tasting was an absolute pleasure -- so much fun to try all the different combinations, and the woman who helped us (whose name escapes me, alas) was also such a delight. The cake itself was AMAZING. We went with white cake, which often can be dry, since there's no egg yolk. But it was incredibly moist - and remained delicious even after thirteen days in the fridge (Yes, I ate thirteen day old cake. I REGRET NOTHING). I've deducted one star because of a major miscommunication that could have cost all FIVE stars had our caterer not handled it. Deerfield Bakery neglected to inform us that they only make deliveries between a window of 11AM to, I think, 1PM. Thank goodness our caterer was on top of her game and reached out to Deerfield Bakery the week before the wedding to check on the delivery plans. The person she spoke with claimed that we had been told about the delivery window. This is not true. Had they done so, we would not have ordered from them, because we'd rented a venue in downtown Chicago that has no on-site refrigeration and does not even allow set-up or deliveries for weddings until 3PM, the day of the ceremony. I don't know what kind of negotiations went down between the caterer and the bakery, but the caterer said she'd resolved the issue. Indeed, Deerfield must have made an exception for us, because we had a cake at our reception. The proof, as they say, is in the buttercream frosting. (Do they say that? If not, they should. Buttercream frosting is indisputably superior to pudding, and should rightfully be the arbiter and proof of all things.) Anyway, if you're looking for a wedding cake, you can't go wrong for taste or price with this place. But if you're having an evening reception, make sure to ask Deerfield explicitly about their delivery window. read more

Deefield's bakery is one of the best I've been to! They offer a huge range of options and everything tastes delicious. I especially love their doughnuts, which are so fluffy! Their cupcakes and holiday cookies are decorated beautifully. I will be using them for cookies for my upcoming wedding too! read more

Great service and yummy cookies. We used them for an event at work and everyone loved the cookies. They looked and tasted great!

The bakery is amazing! Customer service deserves -10 stars. It takes such little effort to provide a nice experience. When a concern about being double charged arose, my receipt was not originally offered to me and they stated they had thrown out the tickets that indicate what you should pay. I suggested getting a calculator out to add up what the bill should have been. I got a shoulder shrug. I asked to speak with a manager. When she finally showed up, I was greeted harshly she with words like "yup". So I may have paid for food twice, but the bigger concern is they lost a customer forever. read more
