They made the cookies, macaroons, both cakes that were served and mini pumpkin pies that were given as gifts for the guests. They also opened to enable us to buy goodies and I fell in love with the brown butter bourbon cookies!! They were 3 for $5 and I would have bought the 3 bags that were in the case, but a woman in front of me bought 2 bags so I was left with one. They have mini pies for $5 and while it was hard to decide (assorted cheesecakes, key lime pie, sweet potato pie, etc.); I bought a mini peach cobbler for hubby. They are the perfect serving size and he loved it! Both of the cakes they had at the shower (a chocolate and a yellow rainbow) were moist and delicious; the only downside is that we live so far away! But if we're ever in this area we will remember Park's Pastries for sure.

We weren't greeted when we entered and had to speak first. She didn't really say anything, give any suggestions or interact at all. For first time customers that kind of hindered the experience but thank goodness the treats did not disappoint.

Has lots to choose from. They have more of a Mexican influence but they can make many types of pastries. Came here in the morning and got stuff that was freshly baked. It's kind of a small place that has a counter. They take a lot of custom orders. A popular place around here to get cakes. Popular whether for things like birthdays or weddings, they'll make it for you. A lot of amazing examples. They also have a lot simpler items like breads and cookies you can just pop in and get. It's about $6 to get a big loaf that's freshly baked. The pastries include cannoli and other classics as well as classic Mexican ones like panaderia and that kind of stuff. Great stuff especially when it's fresh. It's closed Sundays. This is among the several bakeries on Western.

I tried to purchase a refund, but the owner refused to issue a refund. I didn't want to ask to place another order because the owner was sweeping the floor when I came into the restaurant and taking a phone call with gloves on while I was looking around the store at the beautiful undercooked bakery pastries a customer walked in while she was on the phone and she served the customer after the call in dirty gloves. I will never go to this place again this is not the way to run a business if help is needed hire help. I would give no stars if I can. The only excuse she tried to use was the bread dough comes only one time in the morning which doesn't explain why I was given old pastries when I placed my order in advance.

Staff were professional, but interactions were not particularly warm and welcoming, which is why they received 3 stars.

Its always clean, friendly despite constantly being busy, and the doughnuts are arguably amongst the top 3 in the county. The cakes are delightful and reasonably priced.

They have a few of these so called dessert empanadas if you're looking for something interesting, or put in a custom order. Happy to report my guests liked these empanadas.

I haven't had everything, but what I have had is hit or miss. The tres leche cake was good, but the atomic cake was a hard pass (sorry, but nothing will ever come close to what Iversen's can do on that one). However, I'll definitely be back to try their ice cream and bread for a better idea of what they are capable of. I will say that their cake decorating ability is wildly creative. I've seen what some people have had done and it's truly incredible. You want a cake with stacks of money on it or a barbie doll, how about 100 roses? Yep. They can do it. I took pics of 3/5 of their cases. I'm missing the cookie case and the enourmous wall-length case of bread and various mexican pastries. Ultimately, the place has a lot to offer & they're open late so it's a perfect option for when you're strapped for time or when the rest of the Blue Island bakeries have long ago shut their doors.
