5/1/2024- Mother's Day around the corner... Wanted to send something special for my very dear Mother figure.. Fellow Yelper Britt C. mentioned this, so I decided to try it .. Selection is rather small , but I went with the three pack of breads, and a cinnamon Apple Streusel Cake.. Cost is where I'd expect, and I hope that she will receive it before Mother's Day and enjoy it! Will update once it is received and tested.. We both bake and cook, so will see what she has to say.. read more

I've had the pleasure of being in a virtual Yelp event with Cindy teaching us her insanely rich and chewy triple chocolate brownies recipe and chocolate ganache. When I saw that her company delivers nationwide, I knew I NEEDED some to help me cope with this pandemic. I ordered the Hungry Monkey Sweet Treat sampler and they were here lightening fast! The goodies were packaged with care and came with a sweet note from Cindy. They even survived the Texas heat. I have already tried the triple chocolate brownie, chocolate chip banana bread and chocolate chip macaroon already. Everything was so delicious and moist. Definitely baked with love and quality ingredients were used. I agree with the sticker on these goodies. They are crazy good!!! Definitely will make an awesome gift to brighten someone's day. I know these goodies made my day and night! Yum. read more

Thank you Angela and Cindy, once more for this treat!! With great anticipation, I tracked the order and I finally received the text that it had been delivered, so I rushed to my front door and wala - chocolate brownies and chocolate chip banana bread!! I warmed up each item for about 10 seconds and gosh, both are so good with either a cold glass of whole milk or a hot cup of coffee. The brownies are very rich and thick while the banana bread is very soft and moist and of course - chocolatey. I will keep Hungry Monkey in mind when it comes to fulfilling my chocolate fix. Merci beau coup!! read more

The Hungry Monkey Baking Company - Yea!! Brownies and Banana Bread!! - Desserts Near Me

So I thought my favorite cake from The Hungry Monkey was their carrot cake, but it's actually their apple cinnamon streusal cake! Don't get me wrong, I LOVED everything that I ordered and tried, but I do have some favorites! I like cinnamon treats and the apple cake streusal has just the perfect amount of cinnamon where I can taste it in every bite without being overwhelming. The apples are evenly distributed throughout the cake and it was so so moist! The streusal topping just ties it all together and gives it added textures and flavor! I highly recommend trying this one! Don't forget the brownies too, they're also my favorite! Cindy, the owner, graciously sent me a pumpkin tea bread and another chocolate chip banana nut bread since there was a mix up with my first order and I am so thankful she did! It was crazy hot in California when my first order arrived and I believe the treats sat in the heat for a while because the choco. chip banana bread wasn't that moist the first time. This time around, the banana bread was bouncy and moist! Yum!! The pumpkin bread is such a perfect treat for the fall especially if you're looking for a moist pumpkin bread! read more

I must preface with the fact that I never do this. What don't I ever do? Write a review immediately after receiving a product - that's what! Somehow, though, I cannot resist with this. You see, I found out about The Hungry Monkey Baking Company about a month or so ago through a virtual Yelp event. I participated in it and made these gooey and super infused with chocolate brownies. To add to this, I added ganache, and that was so rich, lovelies, that next time I will pass on it. I love me some chocolate, but I do have my limits. That being said, Cindy was the hostess for this event and I just adored her recipe, and more so, her life story. She just oozes a sort of positive energy on screen. I knew at some point I would order from her, the only question was when. Well, when ended up being last Sunday, and well, it's Thursday and I just got my order, so can you say lightning fast speed, considering my treats came from the Chicago area all the way down to the Miami area? WHOA BABY. My adventures stalking UPS and anxiously waiting for these trio of chocolate chip banana breads aside, I loved the packaging and the handwritten note. You can definitely tell a lot of TLC is put into these products. As for the trio of chocolate chip banana breads I ordered, yes, they're basic compared to the variety of goodies Cindy has on her site, but they're downright delicious. I ordered this trio, hoping to give one to my dear friend, Sergio F. (who sadly I didn't give brownies to as my refrigerator totally made my brownies go bad way too soon), and one as well to my boyfriend's sister-in-law who is a real sweetheart. The last one is for me, and well, for whomever I may love to give a bit of a piece to. I'm not being greedy, I swear. I ate a bite upon arrival and it was beyond fresh. The breads were perfectly sealed and just so heavenly for anyone who appreciates a good chunk of chocolate. I'm way excited to give these to my loved ones, but more so, I'm excited to eat more (when my stomach permits, of course). I am now quite curious about other treats, and well, given all my raving about this, I have no doubt I will place another order at some point and/or get people in my life to order from Cindy, too! read more

Recently I was introduced to this company by a virtual yelp event. The owner Cindy was awesome in explaining brownies to us. I decided to buy some desserts from this Chicago based small business after the class. And totally encourage you to buy from it too because Hungry Monkey Baking Company has the best banana breads, tea cakes, brownies, and so many other desserts. My family loved the package that was sent. They deliver anywhere to the U.S and it's convenient. Plan to use this great desserts option in the future too. The prices are extremely reasonable and the creative little dessert bundles are wonderful. The owner is a sweetheart and pleasure to talk to, so if you have questions before your order get in connect with her. Her Instagram handle is: hungrymonkeybaking Website- hungrymonkeybaking.com Highly recommend trying these tasty treats for yourself and as gifts.~ read more

I received a care package from my yelp sister Britt C from this place. Oh my what a treat this was. It was packed with chocolate chip banana bread and a pumpkin banana bread. They were so good. Also came with fudge brownies and coconut Macaroons that was so delicious. I really appreciate how it was packaged and sent to me. I wanna say Ty again to you Britt!! read more

We have ordered from Hungry Monkey. My wife Rabia loves supporting small businesses. And ordered from here after discovering this phenomenal dessert company from a virtual Yelp event. The owner did a demonstration brownie session for yelpers. Also values her customers and is communicative when you order from her. I've tried the brownies, cake, banana bread and more. All these baked goods are delicious. And they stay good for a few days. Hungry Monkey baking co is out of IL state but they deliver around the USA. It's a great idea for sending these yummy treats around the holiday time, bday celebrations and more. Plus just to treat yourself. Highly recommend them, loved everything I ate. In one sentence: Support a small business and eat some delicious treats. read more

I just received my surprise package fro Hungry Monkey. I was fortunate to be one of the winners of their "elite perk". The package contained three huge chewy chocolate brownies and a chocolate chip banana cake. I'm not a baker, so finding a place to order such delicious rich desserts is a plus! The brownies were so decadent. I had a fourth of one and was completely satisfied. I haven't had a chance to try the banana cake. It looks so moist. I'm saving it to have with my morning coffee (diet be damned!) They have a great product and they are efficiently shipped. No need to worry about going out (covid and all) when you can get this quality sent right to your doorstep! read more

I would like to give a shout out to my good friend Britt C, a fellow yelper, for sending us a tasty housewarming gift from The Hungry Monkey Baking Company in Lake Forest, Illinois. We got triple chocolate brownies, chocolate chip macaroons, cinnamon apple streusel cake, pumpkin tea bread, and last but definitely not least, crazy-good carrot cake. While we live in California, the goodies were neatly packaged as if I picked them up from the store! Give this place a shot at curing that sweet tooth! Also, I'm normally not a fan of macaroons, but the chocolate chip macaroons from Hungry Monkey Baking Company were so good! Thanks! read more

Easily the best brownies I have ever had. They were almost like fudge but pillowy soft at the same time. I can't stop thinking about them and shall require more soon. This time I'll be hiding spares around the house for late night snacks. The chocolate chip banana bread was also exceptional and will definitely be in my future, as well. This hungry monkey is planning on busting out of this Bartlett zoo and swinging over to The Hungry Monkey ASAP! Ooh ooh, ah ah! read more

This isn't necessarily a review of the Hungry Monkey Baking Company products but more a review of the amazing customer service I got from Cindy and her crew! After attending a Yelp virtual event a few months ago (we made amazing brownies btw), I decided to order a gift for a friend. I must have been either drunk or half asleep when I did though because I mixed up the shipping/billing address and didn't notice until after I got an email that the package was shipped. I sent Cindy an email after midnight and I got a response within minutes! Long story short, the addresses got changed but Cindy went above and beyond to make my mistake right, including spending an hour on the phone with UPS! Dealing with Cindy and Hungry Monkey reminds me of why I'm thankful of all the amazing small businesses we have in this country and I hope to make another order from them in the future! (with the correct addresses this time haha) read more

We love Hungry Monkey so much! Their chocolate chip banana bread is incomparable and my kids go crazy for it! My daughter and I had the chance to take part in the virtual cooking class to learn how to make insanely rich and chewy chocolatey brownies and my daughter had the absolute best time!!! She loved the process from start to finish and how patient Cindy was throughout it all! Best of all the brownies were just so delicious!!! Love Hungry Monkey - run to Sunset Foods or order online! They are truly the best!!! read more

My mother told me that Hungry Monkey Baking's banana bread and brownies were the "best bread and brownies she ever tasted." So I bought the Chocolate Lover's Gift Box for two different colleagues, and the rave reviews I received back from them convinced me, that was the best purchase I made this holiday season. If you're looking for a great gift for family and friends, or just want to treat yourself -- my goodness, you can't go wrong with Hungry Monkey Baking. read more

The Hungry Monkey has been a staple in our house since we were first introduced to their product (possibly over 10 years ago!). They've provided us with AMAZING corporate gift boxes during the holidays, in addition to customer service that is top notch. Just yesterday, we purchased 2 loaves of their Crazy Good Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, and they'll last in our house for 25 hours or less before the kids get to them. (Update: We woke up early and got to one of them before the kids were awake.) Simply an amazing product. read more

They make the best chocolate chip banana bread and pumpkin bread! You can find them at Sunset Foods.

Cindy and I have been acquainted for many years and I was an early customer of her breads and brownies, just trying trying to help a friend and then I ate some and like WOW this is really good honest food. I've sent her products to clients as "thank you" gifts and always get a hugh "thank you" back. The products are well made from top notch ingredients and are now easier to order that ever. I can't imagine anyone not liking Hungry Monkey baked goods, eat some today! read more

The Hungry Monkey Baking company is absolutely amazing. I am a trained culinary artist and love to bake but we count on Cindy for her best brownies ever and her chocolate chip banana bread is to die for. Must buy one for us and one to give away. I love her bright pink packaging and it lights up a room when it arrives as a gift. We used it for holiday office gifts as well and everyone was so happy! Hardest part is making the decision on which treat to splurge on. Carrot cake, Brownies, Macaroons for the holiday or my favorite is the chocolate chip banana bread. They are delightful and prompt and I have nothing but the best to say about the entire operation. Charming and delicious! read more
