I would have preferred to be giving a 5 star review as that was our experience last October for Birthday Cakes. However, we wanted the same exact order and what we got was extremely disappointing. The cakes were way smaller with frosting and zero decorations. It was to say congratulations and a name was to be written. It was blank. The other cake was to be a strawberry topped cheese cake. We received another small strawberry cake with zero decorations. I had to go return to the bakery in the middle of a surprise event preparations with the promise of purchasing a cheese cake at 50% off. I was charged $26 dollars for that cheese cake and if that was at 50% off would that mean that junk cake cost $52 dollars?

Our Party received the left overs or unwanted cakes or so it seemed.

The Apple fritter was okay (per my husband, he said too sweet). The cinnamon bun was recommended by the cabin and also good. The staff was so sweet and even gave bubbles for the kids! Cute sitting area...

Really close to Starved Rock State Park, something to look forward to when doing a day trip out there. I was not expecting a small town could have an amazing bakery like Ottawa Bakery. Staff were very attentive to my order, as they were patience in explaining what's popular, and what they would recommend.
I almost ordered one of everything because I was starving. And boy, I did not regret my decision. The pastry overall wasn't too sweet at all. I picked up the blueberry muffin, raspberry bar, the cookie, the turnover, the almond claw. And boy, I did not disappoint a bit. And yes, I would...
