Normally I found that pretty cakes aren't all that delicious to eat, but that is not the case here. Wow - incredibly yummy. Our cake was red velvet and so moist and delicious.

I cannot say enough good things about this business and will gladly use them again whenever we are in Chicago!

So let me first start out, Kort has one of the best customer service & sweetest personality I've…read moreever met. Beautiful designs and love the work behind his business! When it comes to scheduling, Kort and his team also has your back! Super friendly and generous too! This is beyond any customer service or any bakery I've ever been to with such a good service. I'm blown away by him and his team. Thank you so much for making my cake on such short notice & all the time changes. I ordered a strawberry shortcake w/ vanilla buttercream cake last year and it was so beautiful too; very simple yet intricate and lovely design with roses & macaroons. I told him on short notice(literally the day of) to make the cake & he managed to make it look so beautiful. The pink cake was my first cake I've ever purchased from him, a bit out of my price range, but I heard his cakes were good! So if I was rating on design, 11/10, it's top notch! The flavor wasn't perfect for my family. I had put the cake in the fridge and when I went to cut it; it was super hard and it wasn't pleasant. The flavor was missing something and we really didn't do much with the cake. I've always put cake in the fridge and I should've asked before I left, but I didn't. So I told Kort(Owner) about the cake and he offered to compensate me a new cake which a year later; I got this cake for my mom! So today; we celebrated my moms birthday which is on Friday. I ordered basically the same cake since my mom really enjoys fruit / strawberry cake. I ordered with him one week prior (Jan 28)to my moms birthday(Feb 7th ) to make this cake. Initially it's scheduled to be picked up on the 7th, but I told him I needed the cake by the 6th: time rolled around and the day before I celebrated my moms birthday; she said we were celebrating it on the 5th. So the night before that, I told him I needed the cake by the 5th and he managed ONCE again t make this cake on such a tight schedule. I know I haven't been the best customer, but I really appreciate his efforts to make things right & helping us create something beautiful for my mom's birthday. The cake is the same, but I think there's a custard-curd filling which my family really enjoyed. A strawberry shortcake with vanilla buttercream. It was maybe a bit sweet, cake was dense a little bit, but that's okay! We've never had cream like this before, and it was strange to begin with, but it's super creamy and tasty!! Flavor was pretty good! My family really enjoyed lit and really loved the artwork(flowers) as decorations. I didn't put the cake in the fridge and I'm glad it turned out well! We didn't see how the cake looked like until we opened the box, so it was such a beautiful surprise to look at the lovely cake. Everything's fresh, even the flowers, and designs; so beautiful work I'm super impressed with how it turned out & i would definitely go back to Kort for cakes especially for his customer service & his gorgeous designs. :) Design : 11/10! Taste/Texture: 9/10 Customer service : 15/10 if I could! To sum up, it was a beautiful cake, beautiful even layers, beautiful designs, and I loved it. Thank you for making my mom's birthday a blast! She's going to use these roses for something special. This place makes these designs unlike any other bakery or cake place I've bought from. If you want great service & high quality fresh ingredients, tasty cakes & lovely designs, I definitely would recommend Kort! Thank you once again for all you've done for me and my family with the cake! We appreciate this more than you know and I definitely look forward to buying cakes or others in the future! :)

They have a huge selection of things to choose from which made it hard to decide on what to order. This Cheesecake Factory is located off the magnificent mile which makes it super convenient to get to. The interior design of this Cheesecake Factory kind of reminded me of Willy Wonka. They brought us a brown bread roll and a white sourdough-style baguette with butter on the side as we were deciding on what to order. I ended up ordering the pickle fries which came with a spicy ranch. The ranch was so good but the pickle fries were just ok. They were mini pickle spears with a breaded coating. For my entree I ordered the egg roll sampler which included Avocado Eggrolls, Tex-Mex Eggrolls, Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, and Chicken Taquitos. That was super tasty! I'm glad I ordered that as I was indecisive as to what egg roll to order. They were all so tasty in their own way so it was hard to decide on my favorite but I liked the chicken taquitos the best. My friend ordered a skinnylicious beet salad that she said was good and the avocado egg rolls. That was a big portion so she was able to take some leftovers home. The service was attentive and the food came out quick. For dessert I ordered the Oreo dream extreme cheesecake and my friend ordered the dulce de leche caramel cheesecake.

The broccoli was fabulous- super crispy with a flavourful peanut sauce. It was definitely the highlight of our meal. The volcano roll was a mountain of salty mayonaisse heaped on top of relatively good sushi. The overall effect was not altogether pleasant. The avocado beetroot tartare was quite good but nothing exceptional. The steamed boy choy was done very well, with a lovely soy ginger sesame sauce that paired beautifully with it. The chilli crab noodles were near inedible: very little flavour and basically floating in oil. The brownie and ice cream were good. Service was decent, and the food came out super fast. We sat outside, and enjoyed people-watching more than the meal itself. In sum, we will not return. I am vegetarian, and was super excited about going to an all-vegan sushi place, but was left quite disappointed. My pescatarian dining partner was also similarly unimpressed.
