    Maple bacon long john only available certain days and limited quantities.
    Tim H.

    I've tried a couple of their coffee cakes and they're top notch. My latest was their bacon maple long john. I guess they don't have them every day. Service is very friendly and you get that warm feeling of an old school bakery when you walk in.

    This morning I saw on the news that it was Paczki Day. So, of course I had try one! I immediately looked up the closest place with great Paczkis and this quaint bakery didn't disappoint. I knew that I had a found a gem when it was filled with locals. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Even when I was there right before closing. The Paczkis were still fresh. I definitely be back!

    1/4 sheet

    For a 1/4 sheet cake for $50 and lackluster attempt to do what asked was disappointing when I saw it.

    Doughnuts

    Lilac Bakery doughnuts are simply the best!!!! We drive well out of our way for their cake doughnuts with chocolate frosting. The cake is perfect and always tastes fresh, the frosting is rich and chocolaty. Their coffee cakes/streudel are excellent as well. Get there early or order ahead for the best doughnut selection. The doughnut holes when they have them are delicious!

    Poorly frosted

    I have never really been here before this past year, so I wanted to take advantage to order a cake for my sons birthday. I ordered it August 31, told them I wanted a yellow cake, with buttercream filling and buttercream frosting in the shape of a dog bone because his party was Paw Patrol themed. They did the shape perfectly, but the cake was marbled when I hadn't asked for it to be. I was called at 11am, when I told them I wanted to pick it up to be told to not come until after 1130am. I wouldn't think that's an issue until I got there to see it wasn't even COMPLETELY finished. They asked what I wanted written on it when I got there and was told "you gotta specify what exactly you want". It was poorly iced, the edges of the cake were showing through and you can tell it was rushed. I'm not happy about it, and sadly will not be going back for my cakes in the future.

    Something has changed and it's for the better! Popped in today on my forever quest of the best donut. To my surprise there were many choices. The apple spice donuts were better than most orchard bakeries. They even had a tiny key lime pie.. in October. Be still my heart, this baker gets me!! You have a repeat customer out of me.

    While I do like this bakery, I can no longer support them. When donuts, sweet rolls go from $1.47 to $2.30 each, I can't justify that.

    I wasn't happy with the products after new owners/bakers took over. Years later tried again. Didn't improve, waste of money.

    I went to this location because I didn't like the selection at the Winfield location. It looked…read morelike yesterday's product that didn't sell, and I got there right when they opened. But, I am reviewing the Lombard location. The selection was good and fresh, although some of their items are a bit pricey. I ordered cake pops, brownies, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sales person was pleasant and quick. This store is their biggest store, and they feed the Winfield and Schaumburg stores. They make their pastries at this location, so you'll probably get the freshest selection at the Lombard location. I had bought a gift card from Costco for Sweet Reserve. I admit if I hadn't bought it, and received a discount at Costco for it, I probably would not have noticed the store. It's in a small strip mall on Roosevelt road which has hundreds of strip malls off the road. The store itself is clean and well kept. It does have a limited selection of products but they were all pretty good. The brownies are very frudgey, just the way I like them. The cake pops are sweet, but a little dry. The cookie has a lot of chips in them. Overall, I liked the place.

    5 stars because they have large coffee options…read more.. Nice spot in Lombard great for business meetings, studying, or just getting you a quick coffee and pastry. Close at 10pm but if you need longer later hours a 1am tea shop is about a quarter mile down the road with good options also. Parking lot with plenty of parking. My highlight is that they have booths. Plenty of tables and seating. Good menu options for lattes, iced, hot, espresso, etc. Reasonable priced and they have 20oz coffee. The service was nice as the girl was kind but she didn't seem to understand me well and she didn't know if the coffee was Turkish or not. Therefore, I ordered an Americano with their homemade pistachio sauce. It was a nice beverage. I also ordered a Turkish bread with ground beef. It too was delicious, hot and fresh. The ambiance is inviting. The pastries and mini to small cake options were quite beautiful. The nose level was very quiet until little ones came in. Still tolerable but if you are studying and it's busy don't forget your headphones. Lol. I studied for about 3 hours and I would definitely return again.
