Bennison's Bakery

You forget how nice fresh bakery can be until you get to a place like this. Delicious fresh pastry , proper coffee , fresh orange juice and very fairly priced .

Each flavor of macaron , including pistacchio, passionfruit , and lemon , is distinct and not overly sweet. They're also technically near-perfect, with pebbled feet and smooth, well-aligned shells.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for paczki 's. Good crowd but they moved thru everyone quickly. Saw a bday cake go out. Looked beautiful. Paczki 's were delicious. The lemon curd was my fav.

Been here 3 times this week just for the pies and glazed croissants ! Everything I have tried has been perfectly made so far!

Try a slice of the Bienenstich! Also known as the Bee Sting Cake . Sweet crunchy almonds on top of layered cake with sweet cream sandwiched in the middle.

The cookies and pastries did not seem super fresh. This is a more commercial bakery and less artisanal . Lots of variety and kosher treats.

Cider donuts , chocolate cake donuts (world's best or tied for 1st with Herb's in Elgin), powered sugar donuts .

OMG. Their croissants and baguettes are just so good.

distinct but yet not overly sweet flavors! try the pistacchio, passionfruit , and lemon macarons

Love the black and white cookie and marzipan slice!!

Croissants are respectable, nice selection. Great community bakery .

Thursday is the best donut day - maple bacon , red velvet , and the greatest sour cream donut you'll ever eat.
