Excellent everything. A family favorite and I have never had anything that wasn't wonderfully fresh and tasted amazing. My grandfather was a Danish baker so my standards are high and Petersons is the best. read more

Peterson's Bakery came as a recommendation to me for their amazing donuts. I stopped in on a Saturday 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. read more

My sister-in-law brought a coffee cake from Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery to a family holiday party. This is a nearby favorite for her. She brought the family a raspberry coffee cake. It tasted delicious and sweet. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and it was a big hit. This makes me want to go back and try more of their pastries. I highly recommend Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery! read more

We have had cakes made here previously and they were delicious and timely. I emailed over images and a request for a birthday cake like I have previously. A few days later after I did not get a response I called and left a message. Then I called again..... finally I was connected with a very lovely employee who did not have access to the email to review the design. She did confirm my order and gave me a pickup time for Saturday. We decided on 3:30pm pickup and I arrived on Saturday to pick up my birthday cake. The doors are locked with a nice sign saying they closed at 12pm today for the holiday and will be gone until the next Thursday. WHY WAS MY PICKUP SCHEDULED AFTER YOU CLOSED? Why was I not contacted? I now have a crying 8yr old and a birthday party with no cake? VERY Disappointed! read more

Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery in Hoffman Estates was a gem. This bakery had a good variety of baked goods to choose from. I came mostly for the donuts and I tried a couple of muffins based on a yelp recommendation. Service was fast and friendly. It looked like most of the orders were custom made and ready for pickup. The few pastries I had were fine. Some better than others. The glazed donut was alright, but the cake donut with the caramel frosting was so much better. I'm partial to apple pastries and I loved the apple danish. The blueberry muffin was good and I felt the lemon poppy seed muffin was a little strong on lemon flavor. Where Peterson's didn't cone through on taste, it made up for in variety. I would love to revisit this bakery to try other baked goods. read more

I called a day prior to inquire if they had apple fritters We purchased several items to share Cheese Danish: far too sweet Strawberry Danish: the pastry was crusty (not in a good way) but the strawberry filling was good Pecan Danish: spot on Lemon Square: good flavor but entirely too much powdered sugar it was caked on & made a mess Sticky Bun: spot on Cheddar Jalapeño Bagel: delicious Apple Fritter the whole purpose of the visit and sadly the worst apple fritter I've ever eaten, not one piece of apple or even any apple flavor I was greeted by another customer, before I was greeted by any of the 3 ladies behind the counter. The bakery has quite a selection but there are no case labels so you have to keep asking what things are. I found it odd the woman waiting on me asked for my credit card before she gave me a total or even rang up the order. The interior is drab. There were more delights on the oven racks than in the display case so I couldn't get a feel for all the offerings, in fact as I was turning to leave I noticed something on a rack I would have tried if I had only seen it presented in the case. read more

Sweet rolls are delicious! Ordered a birthday cake which was also equally good. Pricing is normal. Very busy bakery.

My family likes the donuts and pastries. We go here quite often and are never disappointed. The prices have risen quite a bit, but other than that we have no complaints read more

This bakery did not disappoint! We held my daughter's wedding reception in Hoffmann Estates so googled good bakers nearby. Petersons has good reviews so my daughter and I went to try it out. Pastries were tasty so we decided to order the cake with half raspberry filling and half chocolate ganache. Everyone was raving about the tasty cake! Chloe was great to work with and the cake was delivered to the venue on time without issues. I highly recommend this quaint little bakery! read more

Arrived at bakery shortly after opening for Hot Cross Buns and was told they could not sell any until they filled all their orders first. Are you telling me that a bakery only makes enough buns for orders and not any for the multiple walk in customers they will surely get on Easter weekend? Total disregard for the walk in customer which I will no longer be. read more

I called and asked if their products are vegetarian friendly and they said they can't say for sure :(

The Best Bakery in the North West suburbs of Chicago. I lived in the area for over 31years before moving to AZ. We have been in Arizona for almost six years and I have been searching for a bakery that comes close to Peterson's. I have not found one yet. The bakeries that I have found in Arizona don't have danish sweet rolls. They don't have the same fillings. The Swedish flops are a special treat. Peterson's was a regular stop on my way home from church. If you enjoy fresh bakery goods and are in the Hoffman Estates area you should try them. They are on W Algonquin Road in Hoffman Estates. I hope they will ship to AZ. read more

Love this bakery so much! The cookies and cupcakes are amazing! We got custom sugar cookies for a bridal shower, I showed them a picture and they nailed it to a T! The taste of the cookies were also very good not too sweet and not hard, it melted in your mouth. We also got mini cupcakes which were raspberry and lemon frosting so yummy not too overpowering and the cake was very moist. The service is great, everyone is so kind and friendly! The shop is super cute and you know it's good when there's people coming in at all hours! Overall such a good experience with them! Highly recommend! read more

Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery - a variety of desserts - Bakeries Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

You can easily know that it is bakeries, cupcakes and bagels since there's a word " Bakery" in front of the stores. They have a parking lot in front of the store. If it is full you can park at the parking lot of the next store. I'm a regular customer here and I really like their baked foods. One of my favorites was their Almond Croissant with dipped chocolate end. It was very soft and chocolatey. Every bite I have I can taste the sweetness of the bread and I find it amazing and yummy. I can't get enough of this so every time I come here I order a box of it for take out. I really recommend this shop for you. They have the best bread. You will not be with this. Come and taste the best of it! read more

Very nice people work here and their pastries are fantastic!! Kids can't get enough and they're perfect for a gathering

We enjoyed another fabulously decorated cake from Peterson's. Not only delicious but beautiful artwork. Thank you again for helping to make our shower a great event. read more

Do not order your wedding cake from here. I gave the inspo photo attached and ask for 1 layer only. I received the cake attached. The person who makes cakes is on vacation and cannot fix the cake in time. I ended up fixing it myself at home right before my wedding. I understand if the design was too advanced or they cannot do wedding cakes, but would have been ideal to know before being handed a cake that looked nothing like what we asked for. read more

Holy almond croissants!! They are huge and there is plenty of almond filling inside a nice, soft, flaky croissant. And an added bonus..... dipped chocolate ends!!! I saw them and couldn't resist sinking my teeth into it as soon as I got into my car. And it was massive enough for me to cut up and enjoy throughout a 2 day span. My only regret is that I didn't buy more, especially since my husband wanted to "try" some. The chocolate chip muffin was good as well, but the croissant was memorable... The place is a cute mom and pop shop, with lots of baked goods including breading, cakes, coffee cakes, and donuts. They also have a little coffee bar area. I was in the area for a doctors appointment, but I would gladly go out of my way to stop and pick up more almond croissants. read more

Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery - Chocolate chip donut and almond croissant with dipped chocolate ends (and a bite taken from it- I couldn't resist) - Bakeries Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Hands down the best bakery in this area. They make 30 different kinds of fresh coffee cakes. Call the day before to order your favorite or stop in early to pick one up. They made a birthday cake for me with a hand designed Airstream on top that was delicious. I've got to try some of their rye breads. Everything is so fresh and tasty. read more

Best doughnuts in the area. My favorite are the long Johns and crullers. Great neighborhood bakery. Worth a stop. Not open Sundays, make sure you get treats early in the day Mon-Sat. (They close early). Also love their frosted sugar cookies. read more

I had this place bookmarked for pastries, but someone mentioned they had great donuts. Decided to try both on Sunday, December 3rd around 10:45am. They had a line, but it moved rather fast, so we didn't have to wait long. I ended up getting half a dozen doughnuts: custard filled, cinnamon twist, raspberry filled, glazed raised, chocolate bar, vanilla iced cake. I tried most of the donuts and I liked the custard the best. The donut itself was a little denser than I prefer, but it had a good amount of filling. We also grabbed a Lemon square ($1.69), Whipped cream puff ($1.49), and a Mini eclair ($1.49). I enjoyed these the most out of everything we grabbed. Especially the eclair as it was filled with custard. Yum! We also grabbed a coffee cake. They only had about four flavors left, so we just grabbed the original. There were only two chocolate varieties and an apricot one left. Being from San Francisco, this resembled more of a giant danish than a coffee cake to me. But the roommate's cousin adores them, so we gave her the coffee cake after we tried it. In the end, we spent around $20 something for everything, which wasn't bad. I definitely prefer their desserts over their donuts. Their mini pastries were a great way to sample a few things. A cute neighborhood bakery. read more

Not helpful and rude staff. Prices are high, quality is same as Marianos or Jewel but without the rude crabby ladies. Since Staff was rude, I left and went to the large Jewel down the street. The item I wanted was on Sale at Jewel and fresh and delicious. Not sure how Peterson's stays in business. I was the only customer in Peterson's and I left and went to Jewel. Forget Peterson's. read more

Great bakery. Friendly and fast service. Great coffee cakes and delicious donuts. Petersons does not disappoint!

My co worker lives down the street from the bakery and brought in order forms for us to celebrate Fat Tuesday ! I got the banana filled and the traditional Bavarian cream! They are absolutely amazing and I have tried many bakeries over the years tasting this magnificent treats ! This by far is the best! Thank you for Making our Fat Tuesday amazing and calorie free ! read more

Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

I'm writing an update to mention their cakes are also fabulous! We were back in town for a visit and ordered a cake ahead of time for a special occasion. They require 24-hours advance notice for a custom cake, otherwise they have some ready to go that they can write something on quickly if you'd like. Everyone at the party raved about the cake and wanted to know where we got it from. The cake was so moist and the frosting was delish! Pro tip: if you want chocolate frosting, go with their Chocolate Fudge frosting, which is what they ice some of the donuts with...far superior to just the regular Chocolate Buttercream frosting, in my opinion. Oh, and their danishes are absolutely delicous as well! We've had danishes from quite a few bakeries and the ones at Peterson's have been the best. And the info in my previous review stands the same: Such yummy treats! I used to live around the corner from here and popping over for donuts or other treats on Sundays was a tradition. We no longer live in the area but my in-laws do so we have an excuse to get our sugar fix here on occasion still. Their donuts and cookies are great and we've always loved whatever goodies we've brought home. It's a tiny little place and the cram a whole lot of sweet treats in there! read more

Omg! I've known about Peterson's Bakery my whole life since I live in the neighborhood but this is the first time I've ordered a cake (usually only got doughnuts) but they did absolutely amazing on my birthday cake! They were so accommodating and did everything to perfection. And it was inexpensive. I am so happy I had to make a review lol read more

So delicious! The danishes are moist, tender, and very flavorful. The maple bacon long john is yummy. The bismarck is huge and tasty. Almost no wait time - with friendly staff. The store is small and basic...but who cares when everything tastes great. The prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality, size, and inflation. Will definitely be back soon! read more

Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery - Custard filled, Chocolate & Cinnamon Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Hoffman Estates, Illinois

Honestly don't know how anyone could have anything negative to say about this place. Hands down the best donuts, cookies and cakes in the Chicagoland area. We get one of their cakes for every birthday (the white cake is amazing, try it with fresh fruit too), and I grew up eating their donuts. We know people who will drive an hour just for their cakes and donuts. Are their cakes designed like something you'd see on the baking championships? No, but they probably taste a heck of a lot better since they don't just use rice cereal and fondant to make something look cool. Also, if you give them a picture of what you want, they can deliver on design. read more

Best muffins I've ever had! I love trying bakeries in the area and finally made my way over to Peterson's Tasty Delight Bakery last weekend. I bought a plethora of goodies for myself and friends but the muffins stood way out. The chocolate chip muffin and chocolate chip espresso muffins were both so moist and the best I've ever had. Huge, as well! I'm going to have to go back just for the muffins! I tried a a brownie with a chocolate covered oreo on top --- ummmm, yes! I'm a sucker for chocolate and this was chocolate on chocolate. Perfection for a chocoholic! Their donuts are just delicious, as well. The frosting in particular was rich and thick. I got a whole lot of items and my total was $15 - great deal! I'll be back and be back soon! read more

Yummm, baked goods... Had to run a few errands Saturday morning, wound up in the tonier part of town, remembered there's supposed a bakery up here. Been mostly away for nearly a tenth of a century but found the bakery at Huntington still in business... Nice store front staffed by polite young ladies ready to make your day better. Cases are nicely filled with all the standard fare: cookies, coffee cake, danish, muffins, brownies, croissant, more cookies and danish, and many varieties of doughnuts. Fresh loaves sit on a shelf waiting to be sliced and bagged - yummm spaghetti bread. Picked up a sampling of goodies -raspberry boat, 4 types of muffin, maple-bacon long johns, almond danish- and have no complaints. read more

5 Stars + Highly recommend for wedding cakes. She exactly matched our design for our wedding cake in buttercream as the picture I showed to her was fondant. I was very impressed with her work. The cake tasted so good-so fresh that our guests ate all the first and second tier of the cake! They made this cake according to our taste preference. Very personable and professional. Reasonably priced! This is truly a hidden gem! read more

I lived 5 mins from Petersen's for 15 years! It is the best bakery in my opinion by far! I would bring donuts to work They loved them so much they started filling a jar with money so Monday I would have their donuts and coffee cakes! I moved but only 20 mins away! I have driven there just on a whim but since covid I am not sure of the hours! The bake goods are beyond phenomenal and they people are so kind! I will catch them open one day and I look forward to it! I started going there when my daughter was 2 yo & at La Petite daycare across the street She is now 30 yo and I still love Petersens so much Treat yourself and those you love It's worth it!!! read more
