Schlegl's Bakery & Cafe

How have I passed by this place so many times and never tried it? I got to know about this bakery through a customer who gave us a box of danishes and they were so good that I had to find out where he got them from. Lo and behold, it is from Schlegel’s and I pass by them pretty regularly. Now, I have stopped by around 4 times and each time I am very pleasantly surprised by their fresh and delicious pastries. They also do Paczkis around Fat Tuesday and they are so good. Sad I just found out about them but glad I did.

Awesome and delicious!!

Great variety of donuts and other sweets. The pretzels are great as well as the various beads they bake.

A guy told me about this place. I've been looking for a place that sells custard filled donuts. I came late in the day so they were out of those donuts so instead I got in an eclair and a pecan dessert. Both of them were wonderful! The woman at the counter was very helpful and was full of information. Just a beautiful bakery with everything presented beautifully! Great service!

The best deserts place to go. The pretzels, donuts and the danishes are popular however can’t even decide which one is the best. Must try their cookies.

Best bakery in all of Illinois. The staff is so sweet and kind. Prices are great. The food is absolutely amazing. Love this place so much that I've taken the 2 hr trip from Champaign back "home" just so I could grab some of my favorties. This place is one of the many things I miss about chicago. Kid-friendliness: They have a great variety of cookies kids love.

Wonderful pastries and great prices! Such a gem!
