    All the goodies
    Heather P.

    We have some nut allergies in my house that are so severe, neither of my daughters have ever stepped foot inside a bakery. That was, until Shalom changed all that. Located in Buffalo Grove, it was a haul from the city. For my daughter's 9th bday, I surprised her by bringing her here and letting her pick out whatever she wanted. We went a little crazy, but I'm so grateful we did because everything was phenomenal. Like not just good, spectacular. The chocolate coffee cake was big and I thought, there's no way we'll finish that. I was wrong. The Rugela was buttery and flaky. Perfection. The sprinkle cookies were so nostalgic of my childhood growing up in West Rogers Park with the Jewish bakeries galore. They just don't have enough places like this around anymore and to be nut and dairy free on top of that is just icing on the cake (excuse the pun). The owners were so kind and sweet to my daughters, even giving them each a free smiley face cookie. In terms of Covid protocol, they have it down to a science. No one enters the store. Everything is displayed on a table at the entrance. People were socially distanced and there was hand sanitizer on both sides of the table. I just can't rave enough about my new find. We will most definitely be back! The only bummer is they close at noon and I'm not much of a morning person, but I'll get up and moving early enough if it means chocolate coffee cake is waiting for me!

    I am not much into sweets but pretty much everything from here is spectacular. Liat, the owner is a darling to deal with. You must try the poppy seed cake. You basically owe it to yourself. Everything is always fresh. Plenty of parking too.

    Put these in the microwave for 15 seconds before eating... AMAZING!

    My husband is always on the look out for a good bagel in the area so we decided to check this place out. Right now (during COVID) you can't really go in the store, it is one in and one out, with all the goods pre-packaged. They had a lot of options to choose from, but it didn't quite seem like they had their full menu available when we were there. While there I grabbed a pack of mish-mosh (everything) bagels and two chocolate chip coffee cake pastries (honestly not entirely sure what they were, they just looked good so I grabbed them). The bagels were very good, but just a little on the softer side in terms of consistency, which I like but I know some people like the outside to be a little crustier. I put my chocolate chip pastry in the microwave for 15 seconds before eating and it made it just a little warm and the chocolate a little melty and it was SO GOOD. The couple downsides are that the hours are very limited and that they only accept cash or personal check, so be sure you check the hours before going and if you're normally a credit card person be sure to come with cash.

    Making sure my kids love all foods. The toddler loves their cookies and I'm obsessed with their breads. Especially their egg bagel

    We go for the Cookies, which are very tasty for this area. Jarosch are melt in your mouth but these are my second favorites.

    I have been going to Deerfields Bakery for decades; I just realized that it is not "Deerfield" or…read more"Deerfield's", but "Deerfields". Before we fell in love with the mousse cakes of another bakery that's just minutes from home, we used to order most of our birthday cakes from Deerfields, and picked up at the location in Deerfield. In addition to cakes, they specialize in a full line of baked goods, including pastries, cookies, cupcakes, pies, danishes, donuts, muffins, bagels, and more. Recently, I needed to order a small 4" cake for the first time ever, since all of us didn't want a large cake, even a 6" cake would be too much, because I am usually the one to finish all the cake leftovers. Also, there were only about 3 days for the bakery to make the cake, our other bakery needs 7 days, and probably would not make a 4" cake. I knew that Deerfields could do it in 48 hours. I was pleased that I could order on their website, although their choices for 4" cakes were very limited. I picked a velvet cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting ($30.95). However, it has 4 layers and serves 6-8, we would still have leftovers. This time, I chose to pick up at the Deerfields in Buffalo Grove, where I had visited a couple of times, and I like this location much better than the one in Deerfield. It is like a storybook bakery to me! The bakery is picture perfect inside and out, visually appealing with lots of vibrant colors and beautiful displays. When I visited, the spacious bakery was festively decorated, which was quite charming. There's also a café inside, with some tables on the first floor, and the entire cozy second floor dedicated to café dining. The café serves breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Sunday. Like many other bakeries, Deerfields is closed on Mondays. On this weekday when I came around noon, the bakery was bustling. I would give this experience 5 stars for both the cake we ordered and the excellent service we received, especially from Greg, who greeted me as soon as I walked in. The customer service team had emailed me suggestions for decorating the small cake, and I replied with my specific requirements. However, it seemed that my reply had not been read. I needed the center of the top filled with more roses so the design would not look like a wreath. In the future, I will follow up with a phone call to confirm the details. One staff member from the bake room (Brianca?) came out and explained that it could be done, but I would need to wait an hour because all the bakers had just gone on break. I agreed and said I would return to pick it up. Just as I was about to leave, Greg came out from the bake room with the good news that a baker was available to do it right away. In the end, I only spent about 10 to 15 minutes waiting, which I used to take photos around the shop. The cake turned out beautiful and delicious, moist and velvety. I myself didn't care that much for the thick buttercream frosting, but the cream cheese filling was quite good. Since we had the cake after a big dinner, we all opted for small pieces. However, all of us didn't mind eating leftover cakes the next day. When we crave for a more traditional cake in the future, we will definitely return to Deerfields again!

As the person who has to order them, pick them up, and deliver them to the respective households, I really appreciated them having a dedicated "Paczki hotline" to pre-order, a very organized pick-up area, and heavily filled treats.

I don't love paczki so I didn't order one for myself, but did try samples of the cookies and cream, lemon cheese, and Elvis paczkis--if I were to order one next year, I would order the Elvis!
