This bakery has been around since 1923, and it's easy to see why it's stood the test of time. I…read moreordered two donuts: the original glazed and their signature Cyclops--a chocolate-glazed donut with a dollop of white buttercream nestled in the center where the hole would be. Both were just $1.25 each and absolutely hit the spot. The bakery also offers kringles, eclairs, donut twists, loaves of bread, cakes, and a small selection of drinks. It shares a parking lot with a strip center, so there's plenty of parking available. The staff were friendly and helpful, patiently answering all my questions about their donut offerings since it was my first time visiting. Overall, a charming, old-school bakery that's worth a stop for anyone with a sweet tooth.

I passed through Waukegan early on a Sunday morning. I was a little skeptical just looking at their…read morepastries and having my mind set on donuts wasn't helping. I left with a cinnamon roll donut and a apple danish. I was loving the donut as I ate it while driving to my destination. The sweetness, texture, moistness, and cinnamon flavor was all there. I could have ate a couple more. The next day I ate the apple danish. It held up nicely a day later and wasn't all dried out. It was reminiscent of the apple danishes that McDonalds used to sell years ago, but 10x better. The apple filling was a sweet delight that i can rarely find. I really enjoyed the pastries here and everything tasted way better than they looked. If I would have known the goods were going to be great, I would have bought a lot more. To bad I won't be back out that way until next summer.

So we ventured out this am for some donuts and man, that was the best custard filled donut I've ever had. It was so fresh and delicious. And the price is perfect! $1 each or $12 a dozen... beats many donut shops and it tastes better also. The staff was nice and very attentive. Let's not skip on the fragrance that hits you when you walk in the door. The bakery smell, pure freshness.

Got home and refrigerated the cake until it was time to present it. I've always loved the decor in this small shop. It's so vintage and fun. Inviting. And the smell when you walk in is so sweet and like pure fresh goodness. The cake looked great. Just what we ordered. The donut selection was plentiful and I couldn't wait to get out to the car to enjoy. When we presented the cake for the birthday girl it was slanted and that was a bit disappointing, but the flavor was amazing.

TL;DR: Absolutely will be back. Quick, easy, and transparent communication about vision, price, and all in between.) Cake Details: 9-inch, heart-shaped, marble cake with fresh strawberries, $94 INITIAL COMMUNICATION It was literally 2 minutes before closing time when I called them for the first time (my planning mishap). However, someone picked up and offered immediate, friendly assistance. I figured ordering a custom cake takes more than just 2 minutes, so I offered to call back in the morning, but she was extremely eager and motivated to help me right then and there. We discussed the general details (size, theme, flavors, shape, etc.) over the phone, and I was then provided with a phone number to text additional information and reference pictures. CUSTOMIZATION I sent 3 cake pictures as references to the phone number, and explained which elements I want from each cake. Also, I wanted a heart-shaped cake instead of a round one. I was very picky, I admit, but the team was incredibly accommodating and happy to fulfill ALL my wishes - big and small. I also sent 3 more pictures of characters I wanted to add, and yet again, they accommodated. TRANSPARENCY The communication was so easy and clear. I inquired about the price at our first meeting, and was told that all added decorations are included. (The price would have only changed if I had added another tier, changed the size, or made any other dramatic changes.) This was amazing. I was able to tell them all my detailed wishes, and I never once feared about the final price, since their communication was so clear. OVERALL This is a great business to support and order from. I was very picky in what I wanted for my cake, and they were able to match it perfectly. All my guests loved the cake - looks and taste. And it tasted as good the following days. Added Note: One of our guests is gluten-free, and I was prepared to provide a gluten-free dessert for them; however, the bakery being gluten-free is just another great bonus, and my gluten-free friends will travel to this bakery in the future. Amazing!

Their culinary dream of working together has finally come true for them. The decor has been updated and they are still finishing up the inside, but felt the area was so missing the amazing treats this location offers.

I hated hiking the extra two blocks for bread -- did not appreciate or understand it at the time. Only after I moved from Kenosha, did I realize the addictive powers of an amazing fresh-sliced round loaf. Anyone that enjoys bread and/or needs to take a break from the store-bought trendy 2000-grain breads ... break off a piece of the round.
