Just visited for my first time. Decided to stop into this cute little bakery and try out some things. Was greeted by two lovely ladies and one of them recommended a scone and the pumpkin pie. After a few considerations I decided to take her up on those two. She then further explained if this isn't the best pumpkin pie you've ever had that they will buy it back lol Definitely can say that it was absolutely the best pumpkin pie I have ever had. Filling was full of flavor and the pastry around was flakey and delicious. Would absolutely recommend this place...

Gerhard's is a lovely bakery nestled in the very Bavarian themed town of Lake Forest. It is right on the town's main shopping district by the Metra and has plenty of parking nearby for easy accessibility. The bakery itself is run by engaging people with modest but quality selection of quiches, danishes, pies, petite fours, cookies and croissants. The bakery offers quality breads, with some interesting options like the giardiniera&feta ciabatta which can be used for some great sandwiches. Prices match the boutique feel...
