    We used to order a lot of birthday cakes from this Deerfields Bakery.  They always did an excellent…read morejob.  Our daughter's favorite customized cake was an 8" to 10" chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling, and chocolate whipped cream frosting, which was huge, rich, and delicious.  Ever since she was little, it also became a tradition to pick up a big smiley face cookie for her whenever we picked up a cake. Recently, we had ordered a small cake from the Deerfields Bakery in Buffalo Grove, and really loved it.   A few days ago, while I was in the Deerfield area, I decided to stop by the Deerfield location for the first time in at least five or six years. This bakery has gone through a nice renovation. It is clean, bright, modern, and pleasant, just like the one in Buffalo Grove, except that it is a lot smaller.  Since it was after 4:00 pm when I went, within an hour of closing, some of the shelves were already empty, which is understandable and probably a good sign for the business. Out of nostalgia, I purchased a big smiley face cookie for $3.95.   The girl who helped me was very polite and friendly even though I was just purchasing one cookie.  That made the visit even more pleasant.  However, I would likely get some other baked goods instead next time, as this cookie and its icing were quite hard, and just tasted like a lot of sugar. I am deducting one star mostly because of the parking situation.  There are only four parking spaces by the building, once these spaces are occupied, customers have to walk to the parking lot in the back that's diagonal from the bakery, and cross a busy driveway shared with a bank.  This can be especially inconvenient when carrying a cake. Since the Buffalo Grove location is much larger and has its own parking lot that makes parking easy, I will most likely continue going to the Buffalo Grove location unless I happen to be in the Deerfield area.

    I've been going to Deerfield Bakery for over 20 years, which is why this is disappointing to write…read more The donut quality has clearly gone downhill. The signature chocolate donut barely tastes like chocolate anymore, and whatever chocolate is there feels cheaper and thinner than it used to be. The birthday cake donut? Honestly tasted like an Entenmann's donut--fine, but nothing special and definitely not bakery-worthy. The prices are still decent, but I'd gladly pay a little more if it meant bringing back the old recipes and higher-quality ingredients. This place built its reputation on standout baked goods, and right now the donuts just aren't living up to that legacy.

    On our way home from the Botanic garden we were due for a sweet treat so we found the Mini Donut…read moreFactory on the map and headed over. We ended up getting a dozen mini donuts for about $18. We ordered the glazed, chocolate, cinnamon sugar, strawberry shortcake, toasted almond, and caramel. These donuts are fresh upon order and topped with whatever flavors you'd like. We intended to enjoy our findings at home, but once we smelled the donuts and felt their warmth it was over with - we couldn't wait. I'm not sure anything beats doughy fresh donuts. Out of all the flavors, I enjoyed the classic cinnamon sugar but I was surprised by how much I liked the strawberry shortcake. I couldn't help but to think these are the perfect items to bring to the office or event. Not only are they absolutely delicious, but the portion sizes are much more practical in a sharable setting than regular size donuts. Service was super kind and patient and the inside is adorable with plenty of seating. Support this business, they really do deserve it.

Incase you don't read full reviews Mini Donut Factory is located in a strip mall and barely noticeable but am I glad we did. Walked in with a friend and it was quite. Easy on the eye decor. That was a bit of a red flag for me personally. There was just no energy until we spoke with the gentleman behind the counter who was super kind and had the energy. He informed us that all the donuts were cooked to order and we merely needed to choose the toppings. And delicious toppings they were! We got... Coco Pebbles Fruity Pebbles Bacon Maple (real bacon) Glazed Caramel They were delicious down to the last one! We'll 100% be back for more!!!
