Shalom Kosher Bakery — Restaurant in Buffalo Grove

In short: a small nut free, dairy free, cash only, bakery tucked away in a shopping center. Delicious custom ordered sheet cake, less fruit filling than expected. Amazing rugelach tasted like a crisp apple pie. Customer service from Liat and cashier was responsive and attentive.

Details: I ordered a custom half sheet cake for my son's birthday recently. Although the bakery doesn't have a direct website or online brochure, a quick Facebook direct message, or phone call, with Liat helped provide all the options and details I needed to pick the perfect cake.

The cashier felt terrible, but was the only one available, so she did the next best thing and gave us some cookies and rugelach on the house to make up for the small mistake! I didn't mind the flowers, but she insisted on keeping our business, which I would have after the great customer service and taste of the pastries and cake; and the pastries...delectable.

Overall, definitely coming back here again; next time, trying out the...

Shalom Kosher Bakery is the only place I order from for baked good!!! I feel like I am part of their family, as everyone is the nicest and most wonderful to work with on planning desserts for entertainment. From cakes to cookies to breads and bagels, EVERYTHING is amazingly delicious. I love that they cater to all allergies as people in my family have life threatening allergies to dairy and can enjoy eating their fantastic baked goods and not have to worry. I definitely recommend going their to see for yourself what a wonderful bakery...

This is a wonderful business. They bake delicious things, and it is kosher. They also sell unbaked dough for Challah bread so you can braid it yourself. It was an experience for my kids when they were little to drive there because they got to pick out some cookies when we picked up our order. They are on Buffalo Grove Road on the SE side of the intersection. You can take 53 to get most of the way there. I highly recommend them. It is the authentic kosher bakery experience so many...
