Where do you satisfy your sweet tooth?

Here is what our staff has to say.

"Whether a family get together, birthday or holiday, Konrad's Bakery is always present. My kids LOVE their specialty cookies (especially the "poop emoji" and Spiderman) and the adults love sampling all the delicious cakes.  Konrad's elevates any gathering." -Katie B.

"What I love about Blessed Little Kitchen is that everything is so fresh.  The Cinnamon Rolls are huge and delicious and the cookies are fantastic!  There are so many things to choose from, it's hard to pick what to try next.  Mary and her staff are extremely friendly and helpful!" -Steve R.

"When I walk into Pots and Pies it feels and smells like I am walking into a bakery in France.  I love that everything is made fresh on site with daily specials along with their staples. Both sweet and savory items are available to satisfy my cravings that day.  My favorites are the chocolate croissant and savory pot pies." -Pat P. 

Where else can you go to get amazing specialty chocolates by the pound and be able to antique just a doorway away other than Mellie’s?  It’s one of my favorite places to get candy and ice cream in downtown Crystal Lake. -David B.

Sweet treats?  Without the Gluten?  And tastes great? Yes, Please!  Rosie's does NOT disappoint.  With everyday favorites and seasonal specials, it is hard to pick just one. Now, even my gluten-free friends can enjoy dessert at one of our gatherings! A welcome addition to the neighborhood. -Patti N.
