Jarosch Bakery recently moved into a new location, but it still has all of the same amazing flavors as before. The new location is in a brand-new building, and their coffee selection has expanded as well. Their butter cookies are the best I've ever had, and it's difficult to leave without a box. Sometimes I even buy two boxes--one to eat on the way home and another to share with my wife when I get there. They have delicious, fresh donuts every day, and I especially love the donut holes they sell on Fridays. I also love that they carry Ideal Bakery's kolaczki and some of their other products. They offer fresh bread that they can slice for you when you order, or you can take it home unsliced. The staff is extremely friendly and patient while taking your order, and they never make you feel rushed, even when there's a line of customers. I ordered a cake and a dessert table from them for a party, and they did an amazing job. Salma was incredibly helpful throughout the process, offering recommendations and assisting us with our order. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire experience stress-free. Keep up the great work, Jarosch Bakery! read more

I've been a customer for years The food is wonderful! Many cakes for events Sadly since they moved locations they don't bake onsite anymore Also at the new location the parking Sucks! Especially for handicapped customers. The adjacent stores customers take it all. And are even rude about it. Blocking people in. Makes it a very difficult experience now Loved it more in the old location read more

Jarosch Bakery is one of those classic, old-school bakeries that's been serving the Chicago suburbs for decades, and you can tell the moment you walk in. It has that traditional neighborhood bakery feel with display cases full of cookies, donuts, pastries, breads, and cakes. The bakery has been around since 1959 and is known for making many of its items from scratch, which really shows in the quality. Jarosch Bakery +1 The selection is impressive. Their butter cookies, coffee cakes, sweet rolls, and donuts are standouts, and everything looks fresh and carefully made. If you're picking up dessert for a gathering or ordering a custom cake for a celebration, this is the kind of bakery that has built a reputation for doing those things really well. The place can get busy, especially around holidays, but that's usually a good sign that people keep coming back. Prices are a bit on the higher side compared to grocery store bakeries, but the quality and traditional baking make it worth it. Overall, Jarosch Bakery is a great spot if you appreciate classic bakeries that focus on fresh, scratch-made pastries and desserts. It's the kind of place that feels like a local tradition. read more

SO disappointed! The once great bakery is no longer. We were lead to believe that under the new ownership the recipes would stay the same. Shame on the new ownership for underestimating the refined palates of life long customers. The chocolate covered custard Bismarks used to be transcendent - now, fair at best. We're done. read more

This is the first time going to their new building. Its beautiful inside and very organized. They offered about 10 different flavors of filled Pazckis. The breading was light and fluffy with a hint of powdered sugar. However I was disappointed in the raspberry filling. The filling was very artificial tasting and looking. The filling didnt seem to have a real raspberry in it. This is the first time I have been really disappointed in one of their pastries. I hope they go back to using fresh berries in the filling. Perhaps the cream filled ones are better. I should have bought those. Darn. The packaging said Ideal Bakery. Definitely not made from the Jarosch recipe. read more

You cannot go wrong with Jarosch Bakery! Sure, it's a little challenging right now to get in and out of the parking lot, due to construction. However, you can enter and exit from Arlington Heights Road. Be a hero at work and bring a box of their donuts and pastries in. They are fresh, sweet, and very rich. Most people split in half because they are generous portions. The service here is fast and be sure to grab a number when it's crowded. They have great cakes here too. read more

So I went to Jarosch bakery this morning at their NEW location at 111 Higgins Road, about a block to the left of their original address. And the new digs look outstanding. I went in early this morning, before 7am, to pick up some paczkis, their awesome cinnamon raisin bread and my dad's favorite, the Swedish Flat. And we weren't disappointed. So the front counter space is big. Their inside space to wait is, I believe, a little bit bigger compared to their old location. They still have their shelving in there with kolaczkis, assorted breads and pre-boxed paczkis. They are still getting everything together from their move and they didn't have a lot of pazckis available, which is ok because we aren't at Fat Tuesday yet amd last year you could place an order for them online. But their customer service is great as usual, and customers leave with smiles on their faces. I asked one of the employees there how have the longtime customers taken to the new building and she said so far it's been a mix. I love the new place and can't wait to see how they perform when they are all don't acclimating to their new home. Also, they have a awesome looking espresso machine but it isn't up and running when I was there. Thanks for being able to replace my hole in my heart when our local bakery closed a ling time ago. read more

We have purchased their small baked goods all the way up to 400+ large wedding cake orders and everything in between. It's a long standing institution and every time I go back to visit my in laws we get something from them. They are incredibly well priced for custom work-- most recently we ordered an 8 inch birthday cake for my son and ht was only $45, compared to $100-200 if we were to the order the same in LA (obviously factor in location, COL, etc), but totally blown away by the detailed decorations and freshness of the cake. They have since relocated to a newer building in the same square post renovation. read more

The new storefront is beautiful and spacious, which this bakery needs because it gets packed. I've been coming for years, everything is amazing. I can't pin point only one thing I love here, but I've gotten birthday cakes, coffee cakes, danishes, pastries, cookies, even as simple as a rice crispy treat is better here! Just come visit them and try a treat! The staff is friendly, the prices are reasonable for the quality of the goods. The pastries sometimes rotate, so they don't always have the same exact item, just a heads up. read more

Ordered a cake for a retirement party and we wanted something special. A yellow/chocolate sheet Cake with strawberry filling was the order, along with a book theme to celebrate our VP of Publishing. Jarosch hit it out of the park with the cake. It was delicious and very cute. We were happy with our choices...the blue frosting turned everyone's mouth blue. Lol. We loved it. The cost was about $125. read more

I gave it one more try after getting a terrible version of the previously spectacular version of the almond strip. This time I tried a banana cream pie. The whipped cream was awful, the banana filling was awful. I don't understand how you can have the original recipes and decide to change them to something inferior. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK - VERY SAD TO LOSE WHAT WAS A WONDERFUL BAKERY. read more

I had to visit one of the original and most cherished bakery spots in the Northwest Suburbs, Jarosch Bakery 2 days before they close. Janis will great you with a cheerful and friendly, warm smile. Some of my personal favorites that I grabbed today were the Smiley face cookies, which are always a treat. A 1lb assorted box of cookies which can easily be devoured in one sitting, but they're so tasty that you really want to savor each bite. though Jarosch is relocating, I needed one last smell of freshly baked goods that hits you as you walk in, along with the delicious display of coffee cakes, donuts, cookies, cakes, buns, and so much more. It you can't make it in the next 2-days. Youll be able to check out the new location February, 2026. read more

Went to new location at 2:00 pm. Space was not welcoming like the old space. Racks of steel shelves with prepacked goods. Inquired if they had cream puffs. Was told they don't make them anymore. Asked about a favorite cheese cake from previous years, also not making anymore. The cases had very little left. I assume they don't refill since they bake offsite now.! read more

I stopped in this morning to get some bakery goods to bring to work. However, I ended up leaving after waiting about 10 minutes and they only had two people working in about eight people in line. Very disappointing. read more

I phone ordered an 8 inch carrot cake last week and picked it up today..I've had their carrot cake in the past and it was superbly delicious!! Today, they alerted to me there was a slight problem as there was ' a split' in the top frosting which caused it to look like the cake was cut in half. They told me they could bring it back into production and it would be ready again this afternoon. Looking at the cake, it didn't look bad as I just simply said. 'it's going to taste the same' no worries. They stated with this error in the frosting they insisted not to charge me for it as they were impressed by non-chalant behavior of 'who cares' I guess? ..it was an expensive cake...I said, no worries, things happen and I wanted to at pay for it or at least pay for half of it. They stated 'no', it is our error. Now I know Jarosch Bakery values their service and treating all their customers with high class. I left feeling guilty but the same time, what an establishment this is and understand how much they value their products. Thank you Jennie and Adrianna for treating and continuing to promote your products with the utmost perfection and guarantee of satisfaction! read more

Ordered a baptism cake the other day. The decorations were wonderful, but the inside has something to be desired. I have ordered numerous special order cakes over the years and this one didn't compare to those. First the layers of cake were small compared to the amount of frosting.second, too much sugary frosting and the entire taste of the cake was off. I was extremely disappointed. This isn't the quality of a Jarosch cake. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll buy another one there. The new owners aren't following the old recipes! Such a shame. read more

Jarosch Bakery made our son and daughter-in-law's first child's baby shower's custom cake with the most wonderful decorations. The cake was so light, fluffy, and moist...and the fresh strawberry filling was incredible! All so delicious. And the frosting and decorations to match the party's original printed invitation ... so beautiful...with the farm animals on the border and a pale light green frosting color...were so amazing. Thank you Jarosch Bakery and Salma for all you did to make it SO delicious and wonderful. And thanks too for delivering it to the Westwood Tavern in Schaumburg, IL. Made the party and all there so happy. Here's hoping the cake decorator and sales gal Salma know, they are appreciated! Big thanks! read more

Long time customers in the previous location. Experience at new location has been unfavorable: 1) Out of stock (2 PM) on elephant ears (daily special) three times in a row. Consider making more. 2) Purchased Edelweiss coffee cake today. Inferior to previous product. Smaller, more dense with a slightly burnt flavor. Frosting still good. Previous product was excellent; this was mediocre (at same or higher price). Will not buy again. I hope we don't have on write this place off..... read more

My family has been coming to Jarosh for years! It's a great family owned bakery. Over time the price has drastically increased but it's still the best bakery in the area. The coffee cakes are great and they have a fantastic old fashioned cheesecake! You really can't go wrong with this place! read more

I used to love Jarosch Bakery for the coffee cakes, donuts, cookies, you name it. I've been to the new location twice and I have no plans to go back. I just read a bunch of the reviews and learned that there are new owners. I had no idea, but that explains the difference in the quality. On my first visit I got wonderfully fresh chocolate covered donuts, but the other few donuts I got were all dry. The coffee cake, a pecan heart, was so dry that the glaze was cracking and falling off and the edges were so dry I couldn't chew them. I decided to go back again to get the chocolate donuts. On my second visit they had no chocolate donuts at all, but a huge tray of red velvet, which I don't like. I got a cherry strip coffee cake and a couple of danish. The danish were fresh but flavorless. Once again the coffee cake was so dry and stiff around the edges that I couldn't eat it. This bakery is quite a distance from me and no longer worth the drive. I wish the new owners lots of luck, but I won't be back. read more

Great bakery! I love the plain danish. All the baked goods are wonderful. The new location is big and bright, and the staff is always friendly, even when they are swamped. read more

The new owners in the new building are a huge disappointment. So many pre boxed goods on large metal shelves. How old do you think all those boxes are? Lots of the new Ideal Bakery goods which are loaded with chemicals, & nothing special. You can buy the same crap at your grocery stores. We went in around 2:30 & yes it was late, but the Jarosch family always had the fresh stocked individual goods behind the glass counters. The new owners were basically out of everything unless you wanted old donuts & coffee cake. I don't understand why these new companies think they can change things & fool people. Also, I thought the new place would improve old issues-like why do you have to stand in line if you're picking up prepaid goods? Their online shop still isn't working, & I was disconnected 4 times with a twenty minute wait each time. Really? Do you really think people were calling every 5 minutes placing orders? Remember when you could call the old owners at Jarosch & someone would pick up....ugh. One star for the friendly girl that helped us buy our old stale whatever was left goods. read more

It is a charming little bakery. I stumbled onto this place by accident, and the staff was welcoming and the pastry selection was lovely. read more

Went in last Thursday to order a Kings cake for Friday and was advised they are only making them today, Monday and tomorrow, Fat Tuesday. I placed my order for Monday after 4, paid in advance. Came in today and they said, no, I placed my order for Fat Tuesday. I have been going to Jarosch for many years and no way would I go there in Fat Tuesday. I have no choice now, have to get up early to fight the madness. Do not trust the counter people, get a receipt stating your pickup date and time. Buyer beware, most of the prepackaged pazcki is labeled Ideal Bakery, not Jarosch read more

Best bakery in Chicagoland! For the best baked goods, butter cookies, cakes and pies. You can't go wrong!

Ive been going to Jarosch for decades,best bakery ever! When they sold out, I said ok I'll give the new owners a try, and the quality was still there, Now after they moved? And took out the on site ovens, and baked off site, after 2 visits, they lost their quality and I believe their reputation. Taste is not what it was, even the size of their danish is 25% smaller. The same thing happened to Deerfield's bakery, now the building is an empty shell. Now I have to look for another bakery. So sad.... read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, expensive but worth it, highly addictive, and always PACKED! Order ahead to save the wait.

I've always loved Jarosch butter cookies. I have to drive 30 minutes just to get them, but they were worth it. My family loves their cookies. They must have changed the recipe because the last few months the cookies are so dry. It's a real disappointment! read more

Truly one of the best old school bakeries in the northwest Chicago suburbs. Jarosch Bakery has been open in the same location since 1959. My parents went there, and when I am in the area, I go there! I want to give a shout out to their dizzying array of coffee cakes and donuts...always fresh, always delicious, some with fruit, some with chocolate, nuts, or streusel. So many to choose from! They have wonderful bread. My personal favorite is a cinnamon bread rolled in cinnamon sugar. It's addictively delicious! Choose from a large case of awesome butter cookies that temptingly greet you at the entrance. Or buy some brownies, fruit slices from large trays. The cakes and tortes are amazing, too. If you're craving a sweet treat, a breakfast delight, or need a cake or torte for a special occasion, look no further than Jarosch Bakery in Elk Grove Village. Yum!! read more

I ordered a Yule Log for a Christmas gathering. Could not get it decorated the way I wanted because it would confuse the person decorating it!?! When slicing it the cake was so dry it just kept crumbling apart and I used three different knives to try and get a clean slice, the cake cost $50!!!!!! NEVER AGAIN. Very disappointed in Jarosch! read more
