Real simple ingredients. I wanted to try these, and so far I have only tasted the ones with the apples on top. I noticed that it has a taste that I can't describe except that it tasted chemically, not really sure what that was and where it was from? Seems like inside the roll. Anyway, that was the only thing I did not like on this particular roll. I have a few more to taste and hopefully not like that. My husband love it though. Staff were friendly. We drove here to get some roll to bring to a party and jury is still out. Update: Now that I have tried the other flavors, I do love the smores. And the one with the pretzels. I would love to try the others next time. I changed my review from 3 to 4

Update 2/2026:, Le…read moreChocolat du Bouchard is still, after all these years, one of my favorite places to indulge in something wonderful. What began in my mind as a temple of decadent desserts has evolved beautifully. The Bistro now serves inspired French fare, Croque Monsieur and Madame, baked French onion soup, sweet and savory crêpes, and other thoughtfully prepared dishes. It's no longer just about chocolate, though let's be honest... the chocolate still reigns supreme. This time I visited with a friend and her absolutely adorable 2.5-year-old -- a tiny human with a very serious devotion to chocolate. Watching her delight in each bite might have been sweeter than the desserts themselves. Elegant, cozy, timeless. A place that manages to feel both special and familiar at once. And yes, still a little dangerous for anyone who claims they'll "just have one bite."

I also ordered a crème brulee gluten free/keto cookie. It smelled delicious but the texture was dense and crumbly at the same time without a lot of flavor. The shop is cute and they had some festive Halloween themed cookies for those that tolerate gluten but for the gluten sensitive, I think there are better options.

As with other gourmet cookie places, there are no tables and chairs inside; it's takeout only. Service was friendly. They have a selection of always-available cookies, and a weekly selection of two specialty cookies. We ordered a cupcake cookie, a creme brulee, a celebration cookie, and a keto chocolate chip cookie. Oh my goodness! These are some of the best cookies I've had. The cupcake, creme brulee, and celebration were all delicious, especially the first two. The keto cookie being sugar-free was not super tasty, but it has far less sugar than the regular cookies, so it's a worthy trade-off. All gourmet cookie places are expensive, but these are way better than grocery store cookies. If you've got a craving, this is the place to go.

This place has stellar pastries, and I've fallen in love with the Shaken Espresso. I have sampled many of the items in the bakery case, do not miss out on the cookie butter cheese cake or the Dubai Choclate Brownie. The savory food items are delicious. The balsalmic glaze twisted bread is my favorite. For a morning savory treat you can not go wrong with the Quiche. I also want to say, the atmosphere is so quiet and a great place to study. I have spent hours in this establishment, the comfortable seating in the benches was just what I needed for long hours of studying. I will attribute my success on this test if passed to the Sweet Reserve Bakery. Also thank you to the staff, they have been so kind and friendly with every encounter, thank you for being a part of my journey

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.
