I pass the bakery often and decided to stop for 1/2 dozen of paczki this morning-- What I observed standing in line --the workers were unfriendly to each other --it's an extremely busy morning when it's paczki day --you will be bumping into each other. The two ladies seemed overwhelmed--when it was my turn I asked for 2 fresh strawberry paczki which I had to repeat since she was having what seem a heated conversation with a co worker--there was no customer appreciation or pleasance from her--strictly business--i left with my order---not much to pick from and all had powdered sugar ---so the paczki was not tasty as I hoped for. The paczki was not fresh JUST OVERALL DISAPPOINTING!!!!! I will not recommend this place read more

Forest Park Bakery is a very solid bakery in the area. You can preorder for events and also holidays. The staff is really nice and I've never had an issue with an order. Their donuts are quite tasty as well as their cookies. I've also tried their custom cupcake orders and the frosting is sweet but not overly cloying like some spots. Their paczkis can be a bit pricey depending on which ones you order but they're quite delicious. read more

What a cute little old fashion bakery shop. I tried 3 items. The sweet pretzel twist; It has frosting, almonds, very light raspberry flavor inside (not very sweet), but fun. Pink Frosted Yeast Donut with Sprinkles; fluffy donut and sweet topping, very yummy. Traditional Old Fashion Blueberry Cake Donut; Power punch with this one, the blueberries shine through, and it's perfect . My favorite for sure. They had ample sitting area to dine in and enjoy a coffee or beverage. Good Easter Promos for their Bunny / Egg Cakes. Friendly and kind staff. Definitely give it a try. Parking outside is $1 per hour. It's a lovely area to walk around and enjoy. Definitely give it a try.! read more

Melty melty cake donuts. Good quality chocolate in the frosting. Superlative French cruller.

Cute store, I had to stop by a work event at Rush Oak Park nearby and went searching for a coffee shop. I didn't even know this quaint old Main-street like complex was here. Somehow this place didn't show up on Google as a coffee shop, though it certainly is one--I made a diversion to check it out based on sight. The staff person was very pleasant and efficient, I picked a pretzel-shaped pastry out that was a nice snack to pick at all day. Iced latte on a warmer day hit the spot as well, just the right amount of ice and milk. read more

Forest Park Bakery is a longtime family-owned bakery that sales custom-decorated cakes, pastries and many other baked goods. I like that this bakery has an old fashioned vibe to it like back in the day. When I walked inside I was greeted with a nice friendly hello and smile. I ordered the oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies & a chocolate and coconut donut. Unfortunately, my cookies were very hard and had a stale taste to them. The donuts could of been a little moist. I'm not sure if the items are freshly baked daily. I arrived around 8:30 AM so I was hoping that my cookies and donuts would be soft and moist. I will give this place another visit and update my review. Stay Tune!!!! read more

I loved loved this when it was Kays Bakery. I keep trying it ... but am disappointed. I bought a dozen to work one morning for valentines day and half of them were stale. They should be fresh every morning. Possibly I will try and again, only ask this time! read more

Latte just ok; steamed milk, no micro foam. Apple fritter lacking apples. Very basic, but baked goods look good. read more

I adore Forest Park bakery. It's a cute local bakery with TONS of options - from pastries, donuts, and bageldogs?! I stop by every once in awhile and am always greeted with friendly, helpful service. I have only done takeout orders, but they do have some seating inside. The pricing is VERY reasonable. I bought an eclair, guava and cheese pastry, twisted donut, and raspberry turnover for less than $10. I appreciate that the baked goods are never too sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful pastries -- just lovely-- and amazing service. The only problem is selecting only as much as you can carry. Every star!!

I have always been the one waiting in the car when we went here in the past and I was a bit shocked at how small it is inside! It seems so huge from the outside. I came in for some cookies and also got a palmiere and cherry turnover while there. The turnover was good, but I have had better. The cookies were excellent and enjoyed within 2 days by the household and friends at school! read more

Went in today to get some paczki. Got bavarian and straberry with whipped cream. Would have liked more whipped cream but the paczki were amazing! The dough was light with so much flavor and great texture. Just as good as Weber to me. Highly recommended! read more

Ordered large cookies with soccer ball imagine for my son's birthday and they turned out great- looked and tasted wonderful!

The best bakery around. Amazing turnovers, pastries with tons of different fruits (including guava, cherry, cheese), muffins, donuts. Taste is great, ~$2 a pastry, cute to sit down but I usually take away. read more

Hit or miss an inconsistent with their pastries. They're often times very dry and crumbly, but they taste good. Cakes are decent. Chocolate frosting is absolutely excellent. You'll be licking the box like a dirty animal. I would skip the coffee from this place and get it from somewhere that knows how to make it. read more

I was so pleased with the service I received and the quality of the cookies I ordered. I placed an order for a memorial service and Stephanie was extremely helpful in helping me determine the quantities and types of cookies we wanted. She ensured the cookies were delivered exactly when and where I requested. She made a difficult time much easier and I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend Forest Park Bakery. read more

One of the best bakery's I have been too! Their variety styles of croissants with their variety of flavors is a hit with my family. We will definitely become a regular there. read more

For the most part this place has a lot to offer. Hard to choose with all the selections. The cupcakes and doughnuts are super delicious. The exterior is cute with an old fashioned vibe. Helpful person at the counter. Try the chocolate or maple doughnuts. Yum. read more

I ordered a 12 inch chocolate cake with coconut frosting for my husband's 70th birthday party. The cake was very delicious, especially moist, and reasonably priced when you compare the pricing to local upscale chain grocery stores. Several guests said that it was the best cake they've had in recent memory. We ordered cakes for years when it was Kay's and will continue to support this business. read more

I just went into Forest Park Bakery after not having been in the area for many years. I picked up a cake chocolate donut that had a fluffy donut and good chocolate topping, but more cake than chocolate. I also purchased a cannoli, which tastes totally like whipped cream as the does texture and color. So, I believe there was either no ricotta or so little it appears and tastes like whip cream. read more
