stopped in (finally) to pick up a few treats to entertain guests coming for coffee. Great…read moreassortment to choose from.. difficult even, but we were able to fill a box to everyone's enjoyment. I really liked the assortment of cakes, pies, cookies and more available and will certainly be back again.. and again. A suggestion: While I was intrigued by the sandwich board I had no way to know what the sandwich would look like. Bread? pandora? Ciabatta? 6", 8", 10", 12"... or bread loaf slices? So my suggestion is they get some photos taken or make a few sandwiches wrapped and ready to grab n go. Make one of each and see what sells. I'd use sandwiches as a way to bring in customers who will then purchase a pastry or cookie.. or come back when they need something sweet. sorry, no photos... pastries were gone too fast and they were delicious.

I had a wonderful experience on my first visit to this establishment. I came across New Paradise…read morethrough their Instagram page and based on their featured content, I decided to check them out. That decision was worth the visit. I had delicious coffee, pastry, and gelato. I received good, friendly service. I had a cream and fruits filled croissant, coffee, and a cup of gelato with coconut and pistachio flavors. They were all delicious and pretty good. The gentleman who served me gave me a generous portion of their homemade gelato which was creamy and flavorful. I enjoyed my experience here. I liked the variety of pastries and other sweet treats this fime establishment had to offer. I definitely recommend checking them out.

What an amazing place to come in when you need some fresh bread to bake off or a new loaf of…read moresourdough bread that they now are making. I can't say enough about the service here. It's wonderful and thoughtful. They'll leave Frost a doughnut if they don't have a cinnamon sugar. And it's cute and clean and decorated like a real bakery! But there's no prices on the donuts. I learned today about a custard filled doughnut... that usually is gone pretty quickly... luckily some guy in line asked about it

Preparing for my sister-in-laws wedding shower meant we needed to find the perfect centrepieces…read more Most people would opt for a beautiful flower arrangement but my mother-in-law and I wanted an edible centrepiece. Kristen created the most beautiful centrepieces I've ever seen. Most of the guests couldn't tell they were cupcakes until we made the announcement. She even made a cake for the soon to be bride and groom to practice on for the big day. We opted for an array of cupcake flavours: chocolate, red velvet, lemon, banana, and vanilla. All of the flavours were highly complimented by the guests. We even asked for her to use a different holder to go with our rustic theme. Kristin accepted the challenge and found the most perfect rustic vessel to use. I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone. I look forward to working with her in the future.

I was at the pool with my granddaughter and my daughter who is pregnant across the street from this…read moreestablishment. We decided oh it's a bakery let's go see what we can get. By the way it's 95 degrees out. As soon as we walked in the vibe was off. We asked the lady at the register if they had ice cream who was rude and said no. So services sucked!' My daughter asked to use the restroom which she then said no it's not a public bathroom and we said well we were going to purchase something she had said no gave an attitude and we walked out. Just when u think customer service is a given it was not. It felt a little racist toward us as customers who won't be going there ever. Btw all these reviews are old think again

My maid of honor and I went for a cake tasting not too long ago. They are located very close to…read morewhere we live and we knew just where it was. Except when we got there we were confused - the only thing on that block was the old, closed Gladstone Bakery and nothing else that even resembled a business, much less a bakery. Figuring I got the address wrong, I started to head back to the car when a guy comes out of an old, beat-up, unmarked door. He sees us standing there and says "oh, you looking for Baking for the Taking? In here". Well, once inside it was a very clean, modern kitchen, but what the heck? Could we have a sign on the door - any sign - considering this was a rather sketchy looking building exterior? It was like being granted access to some kind of speakeasy...say the password and all that spy shit. Doesnt make sense! The cakes we tried were fantastic, and the girls working there were very nice. Unfortunately they turned out to be a high quote due to a lot of "upcharges"; for everything from changing the height of a tier to adding fruit. Plus the cake decorator had a very heavy hand - meaning, if you are looking for tiny, delicate decorations, dont come here, her style is better suited to big, chunky designs.

I have ordered cakes from here on several occasions…read more About 18 months ago I ordered 2 cakes from here. First of all the cakes looked amazing! The birthday boy was big into cards s The owner of the bakery drove my cakes all the way out to Arlington Heights where my party was. One of the cakes was a lemon (yes, this birthday party had some seniors in attendance) and the other was a magnificent chocolate cake. That party was almost 2 years ago and I still get people asking me for baking for the takings number. If you want your guests to be raving how great the cake was, Baking for the Taking is the way to go!

When I entered I knew it was going to be good. Plenty of housemade breads and cakes throughout the shop. The ladies were super nice and accommodating. In and out in no time. You could sit inside to hangout too. I went with the slice of chocolate raspberry and the pistachio chocolate tart. Chocolate raspberry slice was very moist and full of raspberry with every bite. The pistachio chocolate tart had a fluffy and creamy top with a not too dense tart. Perfect bite every time. Well worth the stop!

Their cakes are pretty good too a little bit on the pricey side but you honestly won't see them anywhere else. Service was good quick and the place is buzzing it's busy it's inside a grocery but they do have their own store somewhere else. Definitely coming back no question about that but if you haven't tried this place, it is a must try bakery! Happy Eating!

Pastries are fresh, light, never too sweet, and well packaged. These are great to treat yourself or even ask them to box up as a gift when visiting friends or loved ones. Their cream filled croissants and tarts with fruits are awesome. I recently tried their seasonal caramel pretzel donut and it was Devine.... Fluffy light donut with a thin caramel glaze filled with whipped airy custard... already thinking about getting another one. The chocolate dipped rollie croissant with chocolate whipped cream inside is delicious too. The ladies always kindly package my pastries carefully too which I appreciate.
