This place is amazing. I work in a bakery myself and I am impressed with the quality and love of the product they put out here. I drove an hour for their doughnuts. An hour! It was worth it. Don't pass up the chocolate bismarcks; they're balanced doughnut perfection. A lot of fillings tend to be too syrupy, sweet, over-processed, or fake; I can tell the ones they use here are very high quality. I very rarely give a business 5 stars, so when I give this rating, I truly mean it. read more

I don't care how cheap a big-box bakery in a store can be; it will never entice me enough to not get my cakes, doughnuts, and pastries from Fleckensteins! This is a high quality establishment that prides itself on superior products and excellent service! read more

I finally found my new favorite bakery! Cupcakes are amazing! Cakes, cookies, donuts are so delicious. I tried this bakery a couple months ago and have used them for our birthday cakes. Highly recommend :) read more

I've never actually been in here because it's well out of my stomping grounds but they've been brought into my office a few times and they are EPIC. They have this pastry that has strawberry filling and glaze and it's amazing. I certainly can't speak to their cakes or anything but their pastries are truly delish and my ass is not looking forward to the next time that they make their way into the office! read more

A friend bought me a carrot cake from Fleckenstein's. I think I've died and gone to heaven! Absolutely the best carrot cake -- or possibly any cake -- I've ever had. I wish I lved closer (it's about 30 miles from me), but it's probably just as well that I don't, or I'd weigh 500 lbs.! read more

I have been here several times. The cookies are really good. But very expensive. I wanted to get a cake here, but they were in plastic containers. I don't think that they were even made here. They were like grocery store cakes. Except the price was through the roof. Tasted about the same. Their mini cheese cakes are good. It's no Webers. read more

Best bakery around. Love the vanilla fingers, butter cookies and the gourmet cupcakes. Fantastic jelly donuts. Never had a bad baked good from here. I can't wait for the New Lenox location to open. read more

I had my wedding cake made here in May 2016 and they seriously did EXACTLY what I wanted. The cake was also delicious and everyone was raving on how great the lemon layer was! I highly recommend them! read more

I have been going to this bakery for years! AMAZING! The mini cupcakes are out of this world!

I live about 15 miles away from Fleckenstein's Bakery. Not really that far but I have a couple of closer bakeries. Lately, I have been disappointed with the bakery I usually go to. Things do not seem fresh. I had heard good things about Fleckenstein's and I saw on their website that they make Dutch apple pies, so I called and requested that they hold one for me. When I arrived it seemed like my pie was the only one left and it was still hot. It was for my son's birthday dessert, he is not a cake fan. It was delicious. After having it, my husband declared it the best Dutch apple pie he had ever had and we all agreed. I look forward to going back and trying some of their other products. If you are interested in trying this place out - you either need to get their early or call and reserve what you want. I picked my pie up around 10:45 or 11am on a Thursday and the place was out of donuts. read more

The absolute BEST buttercream frosting ever!!! If they sold it by the tub, I would buy it and eat it!! Oh yeah.....and the cakes UNDER the frosting Rock too! I also LOVE their kolaches.....they are amazing.....I'm drooling just typing about them. My only complaint is that they don't seem to carry them every day. If you pass it up when you drive by on LaGrange, do an immediate U-turn! You won't be disappointed! read more

Very upset.... Grew up in Frankfort this place is know to be the best.... when I got there to day.. only chocolate donuts left.. that as fine.. it was 9:30am.... But bought an apple caramel pound cake.. and they use SOY flour !!!!!!!! when did the recipe change???? I am allergic well looks like this place is off the market :(\ read more

We ordered our wedding cake from Fleckenstein's and Mr. Fleckenstein himself worked with us. He was so helpful and pleasant all the way through the process, explaining options and the timeline. He took pictures I brought in and created a gorgeous cake that tasted unbelievable. Their buttercream frosting is beyond compare. He even was able to create orange flavored frosting for the groom's red velvet cupcakes, which was something I didn't know was possible. The guests raved about everything and even though we ordered a lot of extra cake just to be safe, there wasn't much left over because it was all eaten or taken home. That's the sign of fantastic cake! read more

Excellent flavor as well as aesthetic designs, we used them for our custom pastries for the gender party and I would not hesitate to use them again for a special event. read more

My family has ordered a fair amount of birthday cakes from Fleckenstein's, and we've never been disappointed. Full flavors, awesome fillings, and excellent whipped cream frosting! Highly recommended. read more

Fresh pastries! So delicious, and this service is really good. Definitely better than any chain donut place (Dunkin, Krispy Kreme, etc).

Nothing beats a local bakery! I've ordered many special occasion cakes and they always get rave reviews from my guests. I've also had many of the other treats - specialty cookies and cupcakes and have been amazed by the taste and quality. The workers are friendly and efficient too. Won't go anywhere else. read more

Surprising I've never yelped this bakery since we live very close! Stopped on the way out of town last week for an on the road treat, seriously best pastries ever! We get pie from here every holiday and birthdays in between but donuts are a once in a while treat!!! I LOVE the vanilla frosted cake donut, get at least two because one is not enough! Double chocolate for my man which was just as yummy! Grab a dozen donut holes too, they won't go to waste!!!! Sorry no pic, I ate mine too fast before thinking I should do a donut photo shoot!!! Next time!! read more

I should not tell you this but on Thursday's they make a apple dumpling pastry that is so good I buy them 4 of them and keep them in the fridge for the rest of the week. They are very good. But if you get there before I do they will be sold out. All there donuts and pastry's are the best here. read more

Customer service is first and foremost in any business. Every experience here has been awesome to say the least. I recently had to cancel an order due to my pregnant wife being sick and they were warm and understanding. I know it was an inconvenience for them and I would have paid if they asked. That was the last thing they were concerned about. Very nice and understanding girl on the phone. Completely understood and cancelled my order. I can never go in the bakery without buying multiple things and now you are guaranteed my business forever! Compassion and understanding goes a long way. Thanks again and keep up the great work! read more

Best donuts around. Also Love the cakes from there. order them for every occasion. The lines can be long in tbe weekends bc everyone wants the donuts but always worth the wait. read more

I remember as a kid, you weren't cool unless you had a Fleckenstein's Bakery cake at your birthday party. Even now, I know a lot of people that still go to Fleckenstein's for their goodies for their events. From the sampling I have done, it still holds up to the wonderful memories I had as a child. read more

Best in the south burbs. I'm just a simple bakery consumer: plain or glazed doughnuts, fruit-filled pastries, etc. it's nice to eat fresh and food that tastes good unlike the big store attempts a baking. To bland and wasteful. Check um out. read more

A nice full service bakery with bread, coffee, and great service. Though a little pricey, it still is a nice bakery.

They have the best doughnuts that I have ever had. Also, their homemade candy is pretty good too if you ever get a chance to try it. I would also recommend their giant sugar cookies with icing. They are usually themed (i.e. bowling pins, Cubs, hearts, shamrocks, etc). I think the price is reasonable for the quality they produce...which is amazing! read more

Cupcakes, cuppie-cakes yum yum yum! The price is right to grab a bunch to share with friends. They are known for their Red Velvet but the Turtle and the Duble Chocolate were great too. They are filled cupcakes with good frosting on top. Also brought home Cherry and Strawberry Fritters, good too. read more

Stopped for a quick bakery fix! Tried the German chocolate cupcake and Bavarian donut. Both were delicious!! Service was great and the facility was nice and clean. Only downside is that they didn't have any tables and chairs to enjoy the treats. read more

Be prepared to wait on hold forever when you call to place an order. But their sugar cookies and red velvet cupcakes are sooo worth the wait! read more

Great products and Great service. The BEST in the SW suburbs. They are too good and too close to my house. :) read more

3/3/2012 Thank you - Saturday 3/3/2012 may daughter and I were in your bakery and placed an order for a Baby Shower Cake. The owner (older gentlemen) comes out from the back and Greets us with a friendly smile and ask what kind of cake were we interested in ordering. My daughter proceeds to explain her cake ideas and the gentlemen listens with all interest, and then makes several suggestions. We then knew this gentlemen really cared about his customer. With his suggestions and the suggestions of his cake designer they came up with a Baby Shower Cake that I know will be picture perfect. Thank you The staff in the bakery also could not be more helpful..... they offered coffee and we purchased a box of cookies, eating the scrumptious cookies while ordering our cake was a very pleasant experience. I will drive from Orland Park to Mokena any day to visit a bakery that cares about there customers. read more

I get cakes and cupcakes made each year for my kids' birthdays and any holiday party we have throughout the year. We've ordered special made bakery items over 20 times over the last five years and have nothing but fabulous things to say about Fleckenstein's! So yummy! Highly recommend! read more

Had a terrible experience in the bakery. I came at a non-busy time to order some signature cupcakes for my son's birthday party. I already knew exactly what I wanted because I picked it out on their out-dated website. The crabby woman behind the counter rolled her eyes at me countless times, cut me off when speaking and rushed me out of there. At one point, I said, "Gee it sounds like you really don't want to sell me any cupcakes. Are they terrible or something?" She straightened up her attitude after that. Turns out that the cupcakes were very small and pretty average. At $1.79 per cupcake, the out-of-the-box cupcakes taste just as good. What a waste of money. read more

Awesome cakes, had them a couple times. Always a good product. Good donuts too!

THE best pastry shop in town! I recommend this to anyone looking so delicious cookies and treats.

I was thinking of ordering a birthday cake after reading the reviews, I called and the lady I spoke with wasn't that helpful, I felt like she really was not interested in my potential order. I decided to try their products before ordering...Never again! Spent 14.00 for 6 tiny cupcakes 2 cinnamon rolls. The cupcake frosting what that sugary buttercream and the cake didn't have a strong flavor of anything. All the high ratings made me come in, scratching my head at the reviews after the fact read more

I was excited to stop here after all these good reviews to purchase a cupcake for my grandma's birthday. Unfortunately although the items we got from there are good it is not worth the frustration of dealing with how the store is run. I walked in and took a number and proceeding to walk around and look at the goods. I selected my items and asked why my number hadn't been called yet and was informed that they don't use it and I needed to get in line. Unfortunately at this point there was a woman in front of me that I had arrived before who proceeded to take ALL of their vanilla cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes, and pumpkin cupcakes. I asked if they had more of any of those and they informed me they did not except for ones that say Cubs on it. Not quite appropriate for my Grandma's birthday. When I complained about them not using their number system and that they should take it down I got brushed off like it was no big deal. Crappy customer service!!! Also we were VERY disappointed with the size of everything, the cupcakes and cookies were NOWHERE near as big as a normal bakery. read more

I have a usual bakery I have been going to for years-but it was my husbands birthday and he likes Fleckensteins so I went there. I had no problem ordering his cake but when my daughters went to pick up the cake they said there was no cake. The young woman was rude to my daughters (one a college junior the other a grad student) they did not ask for a receipt and did not really look for the cake. They stated it may be at the other location but would not call to see. Well I called and the lady on the phone started to say they didn't have the cake again until I pulled out my receipt and told her the details. She had to convence the woman in charge that I had a receipt and then they found their error. They made the cake and delivered it to our home with some complementary donuts. I called the next day to talk to the owner --but no return call. I was feeling somewhat okay since they did deliver the cake but after the owner didn't call not I am back on the fence again. I am a business owner and if someone called and I made a mistake on their order I would have called back to know the details. I don't know if this was a fluke or if the bakery always loses orders. But at my regular bakery they give you a copy of the order and keep a duplicate and stamp it showing it was paid. This is the only bakery I know that doesn't do this. #OnTheFenceIfIWillTryAgain read more

They have messed up my orders twice! Once I asked for cream cheese and strawberry filling for my daughters birthday cake and they did half of my cake with strawberries and the other cream cheese. I was upset when I sliced and only saw strawberries and than my husband sliced from the other side and only saw cream cheese. Another time there was a confusion about for how many the cake I was going to order would be and they ended up give me a full sheet of cake. My husband picked it up and had no idea I had not ordered a cake that big. BUT even with those two messed up orders the cakes were delicious and my family and friends love them. I would not go anywhere else for my kids birthday cakes. Their cupcakes are delicious and I had some cherry tarts the other day that were my gosh so so good! Doughnuts are pretty good but I think their jelly filled and Bavarian filled doughnuts are too sweet. Girls in the morning rush after 5am are fabulous! Friendly and fast service. Coffee to go is good too. Sometimes I go in just for that in the mornings instead of gas station coffee that is not that great. read more

Had the German Chocolate Torte for a birthday party in the office today. Everyone said that it was great.

I just returned form a wedding consultation where I found the owner to be amazingly helpful. He was open to decorating the cake in the unique way I wanted using web site pictures and suggestions. Choice of cakes and fondant or buttercream were all an option. The fondant taste excellent (like marshmellow vanilla cream). I plan to go with this Flecenstein's just based on the service, cake tasting and overall charm of a local backery. Prices were very reasonable. see their web site, but do not be afraid to come in with your own ideas, they are open for any ideas you might have in shapes, colors and variety of decorating ideas! read more
