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.

I had brunch at their restaurant and everyone in our group enjoyed their food and our waitress was very attentive! The space is very aesthetic with natural light. It was overall great experience, but upon arrival we did have an odd interaction with the girls at the espresso bar as we wanted to make sure we were standing in the right area to be seated as the hostess was not at the front (for about 10 minutes). They just weren't the most friendly, but once we were seated we had a great experience and this would not deter me from coming back in the future!

We passed by the bakery, and opted not to go in because there were just a few pastries in the showcase at the time. Since this was late afternoon, we decided to go back in the morning for fresh pastries. My daughter went the next morning to do just that. We are in the middle of a global pandemic, so my daughter wore a mask into the bakery. She was virtually harassed and shamed for doing so by the employees of the bakery. The women behind the counter snickered and rolled their eyes. My daughter tried to ignore it and bought the pastries...which, by the way, were not at all outstanding and certainly not worth putting up with the attitude served by the employees.

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.

Klein's Market is one of the favorites to get some locally made products. An okay amount to choose from. The prices are okay for quality. Also happens to be like a store for clothing and crafts. Its main focus though is on the baked goods. There's a shelf on the wall that has the freshly baked items like breads, cookies, and more. A lot to choose from. It's about $4 to get a mini loaf. These sweets like banana bread, which is okay. Most items are made with butter or eggs. The one without these is the chocolate loaf. A great option at breakfast. There's also plenty of sweets.

But it's unusual, so I wasn't sure at first how this was going to go. I got chocolate chip cookies and a loaf of cinnamon bread. (Sweet tooth. He bakes savory and gluten-free items, too.) The cookies are great - more on the chewy than crispy side at first. But then they get crunchy . . . if you don't finish them right away. But the cinnamon bread . . . oh my g*d! Have you ever seen a loaf of bread that was so beautiful, such a work of art, that you didn't want to slice into it? Neither have I, until today. I was worried that it was going to be overpoweringly sugary but it's *not*. Mark, the owner, tells me that it's ambrosial as French toast, but I just had a heel, plain, untoasted, unbuttered, and it was perfect in taste and texture. And the customer service! was superb. This was my first order. It was ready early. Mark let me know I could pick it up the next day as scheduled, or pick it up early. Delayed gratification builds character, but I couldn't wait. It was good to meet him and have a little chat. Very enthusiastic about his work, very accommodating - AND he and Falbo help to feed our homeless neighbors with good food, so he's a good Dubuquer, too.
