Vegan & gluten-free
Great cafe & bakery! We’ve had several custom cakes made by Karina and they’ve all been exceptional!!! Our guests always love the flavors and beautiful designs. The bakery all smells amazing and we enjoy baked goods and tamales!!! A true GEM in Mundelein!”
Hands down the best spot for authentic Mexican bread! Their pan dulce is always fresh, soft, & packed with flavor. Honestly it’s even better than a lot of the bread I've had in Mexico. Every bite takes me back to the best memories of home. You can taste the love & tradition in every concha,empanada, and bolillo.
The staff is very friendly, it was easy to place our special order, Karina did an amazing job decorating my daughter's birthday cake. Thank you Karina, your hard world and dedication is appreciated.
So impressed with Karina’s Bakery! They were very helpful when placing the order for a surprise birthday party cake & when I picked up the cake I was blown away! They did such a great job! It was not only beautiful but also delicious. Our guests literally couldn't stop asking where I got it. Well done!
I've been going to this place with my parents since I was young. Their bread is always good & fresh every day. Their new location now includes a cafe option where you can sit down and drink coffee. Also their turkey croissant sandwich is good.
