I was visiting and stopped in to try a number of things none of which I would say were great. We had 4 plates sampling a number of things and the cupcakes were the worst. None tasted fresh or had the "yum" factor in any way. Very disappointed. read more

We bought a selection of pastries and later overdosed on sugar. Still shaking. Would have liked to try the cakes which look amazing.

My husband and I used Oak Mill Bakery for our recent wedding and the cake was GORGEOUS! We met with Basia, for a tasting which was very helpful in deciding what designs we wanted on our cake and what flavor cake and type of filling. The booking process was easy and Basia was always very helpful and a pleasure to work with. The day of the wedding, when I saw the cake I was so happy because it was just as I had hoped it would be, if not better! We also ordered a small gluten free cake for those guests that had dietary restrictions, and they said their cake was also great! I am so pleased with Oak Mill Bakery and would recommend it to any bride looking for a delicious and beautiful cake! read more

Best cake ever! My whole family has been coming here for birthday and event cakes since i was little. SO GOOD!

We got married September 9th! Most weddings the cake is forgotten or not note worthy. Through out the entire night people were raving about how great the cake was! We went with white cake with strawberry filling and it was to die for. I only tasted the part that was smushed in my face by my wonderful husband but it was delish! It was not only tasty but beautifully decorated! read more

Oak Mill Bakery has the best cakes. I order from for them every Holiday and every party we have. Last week I was very a disappointed ... and very angry I ordered Graduation cake for 40 people. The cake looked great but it wasn't for 40 people, it was kind of small . I called the office with my concern and again I was disappointed I was told it was enough for 40 people because it is 2 layers . I ordered that particular cake before also for 40 people and I know it was bigger... My concern was confirmed at night , it was so small I wasn't able to make 40 pieces. I spent $275 for that cake at $6.75 per per person everybody should have a piece of cake not a slice of cake. I head form my guest it happened to them back in May when they ordered a Graduation cake.

They made my wedding cake and it was gorgeous as it was delicious! Family and friends commented that it was the best wedding cake they've ever had, which was truly a compliment coming from so many different guests. My fiance and I were worried about the cake because it came in a packaged deal with our wedding venue and we thought our choices would be extremely limited, and we wouldn't be able to customize anything to make it fit our wedding personality and style. Oak Mill sure did put us to shame! The tasting was everything a bride dreams about for the experience!! Tons of different flavor options, color choices, and combinations. Of course, there are upgrades for a fee, but they give you more than enough options in the "included" book to be able to find something, and they are pretty flexible with asking for adjustments. Whether they're included in your package or not, Oak Mill is definitely a great bakery for your wedding cake or desserts!! read more

All in all, an overpriced place. The staff feel they are doing you some sort of favor by taking your number. Also- they charge you for a wedding cake tasting. I've been to much nicer places for wedding cakes and they didn't charge me a dime. It shows that the owners are more driven by money as oppose to actually caring about their customers. Nothing special for the ingredients they use as well. A former staff memeber also let me know that they use packaged ingredients and never make their cakes fresh. They can sit there for days, still to be sold to customers. What kind of bakery does this? Anyways- I also was at a wedding at the drake which they used OM for a sweet table. Talk about artificial and "outdated". read more

This place does not even deserve one star! Staff was untrained and unfriendly. After giving me a book of cakes to look at the employee went back and continued talking with the other employees instead of consulting with me. The employee that took my order, had no idea how to fill the form out and did not know any answers to any of my questions. Although, I was nervous for how my cake would turn out, I still purchased hoping for the best based on previous customers. (My fault, and I should have walked out at that point.) I spent over $200.00 which at that price should be an unbelievable and amazing cake. Unfortunately, it was disgusting with no taste and gritty. The venue, sliced a piece for each person which left a quarter of the cake left. The attendees at the party decided not to finish their slice after the first bite. I was humiliated after purchasing this cake and no one ate it. I decided to take what I had left of the cake back to the store to explain. The manager stated that I would get more than half my money back but it would take a couple days to go back on the card. I left the cake and found that more than fair. Three days later, I received a call from that exact manager stating they can't refund my money. She proceeded to tell me I can come back and get my cake. (At this point, it has sat out for more than 12+ hours and is three days old.) I chose to not pick up my cake because it was disgusting and unsafe to eat.She told me that her workers should of had someone else take such a large order. Also, that the one worker doesn't know the policies. (If the worker doesn't know the policy, how are the customers suppose to know?!?) I decided to call the "part-owner" and he stated he can give me $25 credit. He proceeded to tell me that I was scamming him and that each of his employees is not fully trained when they are put on the floor. (Employees should not be put on the floor unless they are trained!) He was ignorant and insulting. The other owners should be ashamed at how he and his untrained workers act and treat people. For you, MATT-"Part-Owner", You are a disgrace and an appalling person and should be ashamed of yourself! read more

I WILL get my wedding cake from here. Any cakes my family gets always come from here, no matter what the occasion. Our family who live further away always request us to bring them their cakes for their special occasions on our way to said party. It is just our duty since we are lucky enough to live so close. I saw them custom making a penis cake once for a bachlorette...teeheehee. But seriously, their treats are great. They even gave me a hot chocolate on the house once! Sweet! read more

Seriously good eats. All sorts of cool pastries. Sometimes I have to ask what something is, because not everything is labeled. They have really yummy fruit tarts and cakes. read more

Horrible. This place sucks. Their pastries, i can not even call them pastries, are disgusting. The first time i had them, they were too dry. I gave them another chance, and they tasted like plastic. Not only that, but the prices are ridic. I don't know if that's how the polaks like their stuff, but if you are not a polak, you will probably agree with me. Maybe if they added some vodka. ;P But seriously, don't waste your time going here. The polaks don't know how to bake, let alone do anything. The employees do not know how to have a good business with their customers. I do not know if it's their first job, but they do not know what they're doing. They're like lost puppies. I only gave them one star because i had to give them something. read more

I love Oak Mill Bakery. Fresh baked goodies for great prices. A lot of the bakes goods are Polish, which is a plus in my book. My favorite is this raspberry tart with pudding I think ( I could be wrong, but it is orgasmic). read more

This is a great place to go for some really fresh baked treats. All their goods are freshly baked everyday and everything is really delicious! read more

A cake from Oak Mill Bakery was included in our wedding package from our venue. We did a cake tasting with them and all of the cakes we tasted were delicious (especially the carrot cake, unfortunately I got out voted on that!) We wanted to go with a stucco texture but that for some reason added I believe an extra $1/person to the cake but the small piped design did not so that is what we went with. I am not sure how much the cake would have cost if it was not included in our package but the stuff we could add on seemed to be a bit pricey for what it was. But overall everything went smoothly and was very tasty! read more

Been eating the pastries of this shop for years~so yummy! Thanks to the recommendations of a family friends, my family was introduced to the delicious goodies of Oak Mill. I can't wait to get my mother's day cake for my mom soon, she loves their cream icing that's not sickening sweet like the ones you get at Dominicks or Jewell. Best place for sweets within reasonable driving distance from where I live. read more

Got my Paczki fix in right before close.... They still had all the flavors, BUT they needed a little more filling. Overall, i love Oak Mill Bakery. read more

Holy crap this place makes delicious desserts. I've gone in twice in two weeks - once for Puczkis and once for a cake - and everything is amazing. GO HERE! read more

If a place can't take an order correctly, I will not spend my time reviewing the awful experience I had.

today I bought 20 different doughnuts @ Arlington Heights. Stuffed with whipped cream, etc. They were the worst doughnuts I've eaten. not fresh, too hard to eat and tasteless. I bought a better in Polish grocery store read more

I had a very good experience. The front staff person "Bill" was very helpful. I read some reviews here and scratch my head. I guess some people are hard to please, or worse. read more

Oak Mill Bakery provided the wedding cake and a sweet table for our daughter's wedding this weekend. The multi-tiered wedding cake was wonderful. The only complaints from our guests was that they wished that there was even more cake. The complaints stop, however, as soon as the sweet table was ready. It was so tempting to look at and the pastries knocked it out of the park. See the photo I posted. The various fruit flavored cakes looked beautiful and tasted even better exquisite. The chocolate flavored cakes were equally beautiful and delicious. We were extremely pleased and will recommend Oak Mill Bakery to all of our friends planning a wedding or other special event. read more

If you would like a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, look no further than Oak Mill Bakery in Niles. My husband and I were married at Cafe La Cave on 08/31/2014 and they recommended Oak Mill Bakery for our wedding cake. Several months before our wedding we visited Oak Mill Bakery for a cake tasting and to choose the cake we wanted for our wedding day. When we arrived, we were directed to sit in a cozy corner area that, I believe, is specifically reserved for cake tastings. The woman showed us 10 books filled with photos of wedding cakes. While we looked through the books, the staff offered us coffee while we tasted all the different choices of fillings and cake we wanted for our wedding cake. Fast forward to our wedding day.... The final product was both beautiful and delicious! Almond flavored cake with one layer of praline filling, one layer of fudge filling and buttercream frosting. Everyone at our wedding loved the cake! It was superb. We can't wait to eat the top on our 1-year anniversary and really be able to sit back and enjoy it! read more

Oak Mill did a wonderful job on our wedding cake. This was one of the three choices we were given included as part of the package at our hotel venue. The cake tasting was nothing special (presentation wasn't great and a lot of the flavors were just ok). Was this the best cake I have ever tasted, not really, but all in all for it being one of the choices we had to choose for our venue we were very happy with the way it turned out. We picked chocolate with chocolate ganache, chocolate with peanut butter frosting, and red velvet. For the actual wedding the cake was moist and tasted very good, we got a lot of compliments. They also gave us a recreation of our top tier to freeze for our first anniversary. The presentation of the cake was beautiful, it looked exactly like the picture I showed them for pinterest, I was extremely happy with the way it turned out, it was beautiful. read more

Today is Fat Thursday so I traveled to Oak Mill Bakery on my way to work to purchase two dozen pączki for my colleagues. Splendid variety: vanilla custard, chocolate, blueberry, raspberry, apricot, nutella, coffee bean, to name but a few, and they were deliciously authentic: fresh, not too sweet, well-made. My co-workers devoured them in less than an hour (they want me to go back for more on Fat Tuesday)! Truly, as good as it gets. Enjoy! read more

My absolute favorite bakery! Great, great items, I wish we didn't move farther away from this location. We used them for our wedding cake, grooms cake, sweets table at our wedding, and order a decorated cake for other special family occasions. We usually get the ambrosia filling, which is amazing! A wonderful European bakery, and they also make beautifully decorated cakes! For our wedding, they were able to take an idea I had and make it with buttercream, as we are not huge fondant fans. Our out of town guests are always surprised by the quality and taste of these desserts. As far as the customer service I see other people negatively commenting on here, they have always been very nice, and we have met the owner before as well. You can use English without any problems - literally everyone working there speaks English read more

I want to start off by saying I use to love their cakes. All my birthday and celebration cakes for my family were bought from this place. We loved their banana and strawberry whipped cake and the chocolate raspberry cake. The quality has gone DOWN dramatically! My husband bought a chocolate cake for my birthday in August of 2017 and let me tell you, it was beyond awful. I took one bite and I knew the cake was beyond old and had a spoiled taste to it (mild vinegar taste masked by the sweetness. Anyway the cake was tossed away and I never went back. The cakes they have in the display are at least a week or older. You are paying so much money for rotten desserts. Take your money somewhere else, where they have edible safe items. read more

terrible......everything is just disgusting,overly sweet, not fresh no taste but sugar. Hate it

We had a good experience working with Oak Mill. They were responsive and had exactly what we wanted for our wedding cake. The cake was incredibly delicious and many of our guests had positive things to say about it. We would recommend working with them for your wedding. read more

We used Oak Mill Bakery for our wedding cake. The woman who met with us seemed nice and drew out a very detailed diagram of the wedding cake we wanted. Unfortunately the wedding cake was one of the biggest disappointments on my wedding day. The design was totally wrong. When I called to complain about it after we got back from our honeymoon, the woman was rude to me. She offered to refund me $20 for their huge mistake. That's it. She also did not offer the slightest apology for what was her fault. read more

I bought a customed cake for my girlfriend's birthday and it was excellent. I picked the design from an image available from on of their catalogues and it was right on. Design was fantastic and the taste of the red velvet cake even better. I did pay a good price for the size of cake I purchased. They told me in 3 days and the cake was ready on time. I did go to their store before closing and the staff was indeed helpfull, even if I had to ask to place an order. However they have to better plan for larger boxes for their custom-made cakes. read more

I'm not a cake person, but I politely eat cakes at special events.The Pear Charlotte is the best cake I ever tasted. I'd give up all dessert selections for this cake. read more

Where else will you get good Polish pastries and desserts in Northwest suburbs of Chicago? The place is clean, has a wide range of choices, and will cater to your needs. Not the cheapest place, but with rich history of happy customers. Plus, the girls behind the counter are nice and try to help as much as they can. read more

We got my daughter's wedding cake here and it was so delicious I decided to buy a christening cake for their first baby here, too. It was fun to watch everyone devouring the huge pieces of cake my son-in-law cut and the children especially seemed to be in heaven eating this cake. It also looked beautiful with fondant icing and decorations. If you are ordering a special cake like this and can meet with an assistant at a table and look at books, etc., the service is very good and they make helpful suggestions. Just buying something at the counter, though, can be a nightmare and rather than helpful the staff seem rude and bossy! read more

We had our wedding cake from Oak Mill Bakery for our September 2013 wedding in downtown Chicago. All we had to do was schedule a 30 minute meeting at their Niles, IL location. We were allowed to taste about 4 different versions of cake and filling for 2 people. We looked through a design book and picked out our favorite design right away. We decided on 4 layers, white frosting, silver hearts on the layers, pink/orange flowers on each layer, one of our centerpiece flowers on the top, our own cake topper, and almond flavored cake with a chocolate fudge layer. It was so delicious and the guests absolutely loved it. It was delivered on time and looked perfect! I would recommend using Oak Mill Bakery as your wedding cake vendor over and over again- it was so yummy! read more

See all

Our wedding cake was everything and more to what we expected. My husband and I disagreed on various flavors. They did their best and found a wonderful blend that we both enjoyed. read more

Our wedding cake was not only stunning but it tasted amazing! After our tasting, we were confident in Oak Mill's quality and service. Bascia is a skilled expert at what she does. She even helped us create our very own cake buffet with different varieties of cakes. We were so impressed and the night ended with no cake left over because guests enjoyed it so much! We were so pleased with Oak Mill Bakery's service and, most importantly, the delicious/gorgeous cakes. We strongly recommend them for all of your cake needs! read more

Don't ever call to order a cake for delivery. Staff doesn't call back and when you call them they say that they just tried to call you, didn't leave a message and then they ask for your name. apparently no one there knows how to punch credit card number into the register or cares to. You need to go through the corporate offices to get a credit card receipt. a little birthday cake and you need to pay extra for delivery and decorating. Isn't it implied that its a birthday cake? Wouldn't you expect a couple of roses and some piping of the name? It's not a custom cake. I got it right off your website. Cut the crap! quote the real price of the cake and not 6 calls later. read more

Bogna and her team at Oak Mill Bakery did an Awesome Job on my daughter's Holy Communion cake and pastries. The cake was not only decorated beautifully it tasted as great as it looked. There was a nice selection of mini pastries- all which tasted great as well. I always reccommend this bakery to all my friends and family. Thank you once again for making our celebration extra special!!!! read more

I purchased my son's first birthday party cake here on Saturday, and was very unsatisfied with. so i decide to go back for return or exchange, since guests complain, it had a bad taste inside. I purchase on Saturday took me about 20 minutes to get home and put in refrigerator until Sunday party However, called Monday they told me to bring it back, so manager told me that we eat half a cake and they can't take back because people drive cars with cakes for hours. Never shop there again. For over price cakes i am not happy what i got. I am going to report to health department too read more
