I've been going to Franco's for years, and it has consistently been one of my favorite bakeries…read more Their fresh bread is excellent, and my favorites are the butter cookies and the cannoli. Their sandwiches and prepared foods are always delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality baked goods, Franco's is definitely worth a visit.

Their sandwiches are some of the best in the suburbs. The bread is so excellent but their meats are great quality. The oven roasted turkey makes my wife and son swoon. Their pastries are better than the best bakeries in the area. Especially now that Jorosch's changed hands. I just ate half a pecan roll and I don't think there is a better one. The chocolate frosted donuts are top quality. The pizza is not Chicago style and it is heaven. The place is impeccably clean and the staff is so nice and hard-working. The only complaint is their hours and I just can't let it affect my rating. Highly recommended.

I got a Mother's Day tree leches cake here earlier this year and it was beautiful and delicious. I…read moreactually came in the week prior to order it and they said it wasn't necessary since so many would be available. I wanted a mocha one so I said could I order it just in case there were only regular ones available and I was assured mocha would be available. Unfortunately, when I went to get the cake early on Mother's Day they did not have mocha. It was upsetting since we tried ordering it so I'd advise to order it anyway and pay for it prior because the cakes are good they just aren't reliable staff. Also they don't speak a ton of English so be sure to speak Spanish or being a Spanish speaker when going to order something specific.

Peterson's Bakery came as a recommendation to me for their amazing donuts. I stopped in on a…read moreSaturday mid morning and they were still fully stocked with donuts, cookies, danishes, breads, and other sweet treats. They also had premade holiday cookie platters, cakes, gingerbread houses and more. I got a bavarian cream filled donut and cinnamon sugar twist. Both were so soft, fresh, and delicious! I loved the thicker bavarian cream filling and their chocolate frosting. The two donuts were just over $4 which was a steal! The woman who helped us was very sweet and made me smile.

I would avoid this establishment…read more I called on 1/27 at 12:40 PM to order vegan cupcakes for my son's birthday. The employee, Tim, told me they had 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate vegan cupcakes available. I requested 4 chocolate cupcakes, and he said I would need to prepay and that they would be ready in 15 minutes. I was surprised they could be prepared that quickly, but went along with it. We picked them up about 30 minutes later and brought them home. That evening, my son tried one and it was extremely hard, with grainy frosting. Overall, the cupcake tasted terrible. We didn't eat the remaining three and left them in the box. The next day, I returned to the shop to share my concerns and was told Tim would call me back. He did call and said they had tried a cupcake and felt it tasted fine. He also told me that I may not know what vegan cupcakes taste like. I didn't argue, but I've had plenty of vegan desserts before, and they've never been this inedible. He then explained that the batter used was leftover from a cake made a week earlier and that it's common practice for them to freeze batter and make cupcakes later. I was surprised to hear this. More disappointing was that there was no attempt to make things right or offer any solution--only to explain why they wouldn't provide a refund. I told him that was fine, but that I wouldn't be returning or recommending their shop and would be sharing my experience. If you're looking for vegan options or any dessert options and decent customer service, there are plenty of other places in the area. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Very disappointing experience at Tous Les Jours today…read more The service was extremely rude. The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.

Their hours of operation are a bit limited so I recommend checking they are open before driving over. We tried their Cannoli & Nutella Dossant. Both had soft "donut" outsides and creamy filling. I loved the flavor and taste of both and they weren't overly sweet in my opinion. The donut to filling ratio was also perfect. I would definitely come back to try other items and indulge when they have their daily specials discounts.

It is inconveniently located in back and down one floor, of a small shopping plaza in downtown Bartlett; the Google maps picture is accurate. Ok, I get it rent is cheaper here, and you are a small mom & pop shop. Giving you a pass on this one. Their website accurately portrays the goods sold here - except - a reference scale for the products; my attached pictures show the LARGE container next to a ruler (in inches). Holy c***, I said, as my package was handed to me at pickup. Would a 'small' require an electron microscope to view it? You be the judge. Mind you my cheesecake DNA has one standard only - Eli's of Chicago. This was nowhere near this standard so it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Cost - $14.56 with tax, not a big hit on my wallet, but it will be the last hit from this establishment as I am not coming back - ever As far as a 'bang for the buck' factor - sorry again, sure cant say that Did not buy it or consume it myself, I let another person in the household be the crash test dummy; sure glad I did p.s. I take no pleasure at all in writing a review like this, but in all honesty, I have to call it like I see it.

I ordered the white chocolate raspberry bundt cake. While it was very tasty, there was barely any raspberry in it. It was basically just a vanilla cake with white chocolate on top.
