Oak Mill Bakery

My mother went in and purchased 3 cakes one for my father and two for me. The red velvet one tasted like mold when I called to let them know they told me I had to hurry up and take the whole cake before they closed or they wouldn’t be able to do anything. Took the cake and when I arrived the manager Kasia was extremely upset saying she didn’t believe me and that I was lying. I asked her to taste the cake if she thought I was lying, she did and found I was not lying and that the cake indeed had mold. She then said “oh, let me see….I’m sorry”. So after wasting 30min of my birthday there arguing with the manager Kasia, she finally gave me a refund. All I was asking for was a different cake, not a refund but the manager was extremely disrespectful. After being a loyal customer for many years, not sure if I would ever return. This experience has definitely left a bad taste.

Beautiful cakes, desserts, snacks- available and made to order! Lovely bakery! Support local businesses!

I’ve been going to Oak Mill Bakery for many years and I knew that is where I wanted to get my wedding cake from. Their pastries and cakes are just sooo good. Now, I had a wedding cake in mind of course and It was the semi-naked cake. When we met with Basia, she convinced us to get the chocolate flavor since It will look better with the semi-naked look I was going for instead of choosing a marble or vanilla flavor. We chose the raspberry mousse for the filler and let me tell you, It was sooo good. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed with the way our cake would taste. Now, where I was extremely disappointed was with the fact that my cake looked nothing like what I wanted. I have shown Basia the look that I was going for and she said that It was no problem to do. It didn’t seem difficult in my eyes, no crazy designs, just semi-naked look. She did tell me that there is an extra cost to the semi-naked look, which initially shocked me. She told me that It was because It requires more work to get that look. I’ve attached photos for comparison with what I showed her via email and on my phone on multiple occasions. My florist put the flowers on my cake and thank God that she did because my cake would have just looked like a white cake…that’s It, just a white cake, no semi-nakedness to It except for three SMALL streaks. You can also see the stand that each tier is on which cheapens the look even more. The first time that I saw my cake was when I walked up to It for my cake cutting ceremony. Imagine my disappointment. Of course, I hid my disappointment but boy was I fuming. Not only because of the way that It turned out but also, I found out that my coordinator was having trouble getting ahold of Oak Mill Bakery. My coordinator was ready to go to a store to pick up a random cake in place because she didn’t think it would show up since no one was getting back to her. Overall, I thank God that at least it tasted good and that the flowers were there because It really would have looked sort of sad.

It's was really dried when I got the Paczki, I will definitely continue going to Weber's bakery. I tossed them in the garbage because they were bad ..

Excellent quality and a very large selection. They have a full selection of traditional and new flavors of paczki. I was also very happy to see that they were open early for the traditional Polish day, not just Fat Tuesday.

Our favorite place to get cakes in Chicagoland. Love Oakmill bakery!

I've been looking for a good bakery ever since the Swedish Bakery closed. The search continues. I went to Oak Mill Bakery last week. i bought one sweet roll, a package of puff pastry sticks 18 - 6" sticks and 12 kolaczkis. I gave the cookies to my friends and they said that they were just "good". The sweet roll was okay Costco's are much better and the puff pastry sticks were stale. My bill was $28.00! This place is way overpriced for the quality of their goods. I will not be returning there!

Top notch, best cakes in Chicago. Quality is superb

You can get expertly made cookies, with quality tasting ingredients. So far I only tasted the cookies. Polish baking is not overly sweet. Their flavors come through true, without overbearing sweetness.

Joanna is super nice.. I really enjoyed ordering my cake & getting ideas from her on what to write on my cake … Great customer service!
