Pastries are fresh, light, never too sweet, and well packaged. These are great to treat yourself or even ask them to box up as a gift when visiting friends or loved ones. Their cream filled croissants and tarts with fruits are awesome. I recently tried their seasonal caramel pretzel donut and it was Devine.... Fluffy light donut with a thin caramel glaze filled with whipped airy custard... already thinking about getting another one. The chocolate dipped rollie croissant with chocolate whipped cream inside is delicious too. The ladies always kindly package my pastries carefully too which I appreciate.

I really liked the assortment of cakes, pies, cookies and more available and will certainly be back again.. and again. A suggestion: While I was intrigued by the sandwich board I had no way to know what the sandwich would look like. Bread? pandora? Ciabatta? 6", 8", 10", 12"... or bread loaf slices? So my suggestion is they get some photos taken or make a few sandwiches wrapped and ready to grab n go. Make one of each and see what sells. I'd use sandwiches as a way to bring in customers who will then purchase a pastry or cookie.. or come back when they need something sweet. sorry, no photos... pastries were gone too fast and they were delicious.

I had delicious coffee, pastry, and gelato. I received good, friendly service. I had a cream and fruits filled croissant, coffee, and a cup of gelato with coconut and pistachio flavors. They were all delicious and pretty good. The gentleman who served me gave me a generous portion of their homemade gelato which was creamy and flavorful. I enjoyed my experience here. I liked the variety of pastries and other sweet treats this fime establishment had to offer. I definitely recommend checking them out.

Hi, my name is Sonny and I'm a Chocoholic. I'm constantly…read morelooking for the best, moistest chocolate cake. And ever since I don't work downtown anymore, I needed to search the northwest burbs for the best chocolate cake. There was always this franchise (Portillo's) that served their famous chocolate cakes by the slice. It was moist and really good. And they remained the best one for such a long time since I really couldn't find any worthy competitors around the northwest burbs, until I saw this tiny shop along Waukegan road-Ganache Bakery. I had to go inside and see what they havd to offer. The word Ganache alone was enough for me to seek em out. Lo and behold, they had Chocolate Cake with ganache icing inside! It was soft and moist and melted in your mouth! I was in heaven! Finally, a place I knew would supply me with the best chocolate cake worthy of any grand celebration. Unfortunately, after the third and fourth purchase, I noticed that it didn't taste the same as the first time we had it. It wasn't as light as the initial experience. It was actually a bit heavier, more dense. It was still moist but, it just wasn't the same anymore. Oh well, the search is back on.

I stopped in on a weekend morning and throughout my time here there was a constant flow of customers coming and going. Staff members were able to keep up with the influx of weekend customers.

I love all the parrot decor inside the bakery as well. The employees I encountered were very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend the bakery section of Papagalino for their cakes, and I will be back to try the restaurant piece in the future.

There's plenty of seating and there's always TVs going with news or games. It is always a hustling and bustling type of environment and the pastry case has a lot of phenomenal offering such as the three milk cake. They have a lot of Greek specialties, but for me, the spinach pie is great and baked fresh daily. The amount of cheese to spinach ratio is perfect and the thin crispy layers on top add for a nice finishing taste. They put time in effort into all of their creations and you can tell because the food is very fresh. I would highly recommend this local place for anyone in the area.

So nothing against Crescent Bakery because they make subdued bakery items. Nothing wrong with that, if that's your preference. Along with the semi friendly service, the cake slices were just ok, in fact the matcha one tasted like it had been in the fridge a bit too long. I enjoyed the texture of the red bean filling, it just wasn't sweet enough for me. I know, I know - the bread pudding/cinnamon roll guy is writing an unfair review. And you're probably right.
