Shalom Bakery

Delicious challah and real bagels! They make the only kind of bagel worth eating.

I had the opportunity to stop by this place to bring bagels for a work function. Their 7 a.m. opening time is pretty convenient and everything was super fresh. The service was great they had a good variety and I paid 18 something dollars for 18 bagels and two things of cream cheese. My co-​workers said over and over again how tasty the bagels were so I’ll certainly be returning again. The only downside is that the place is cash only or else I would have given it 5 stars.

I have been having to be in this area a couple of times a week recently.
Now, I do not know much about Jewish food or bakeries but I know I have a love for real bagels and Challah.
Looking on Unilocal,this place popped up and I decided to check it out. It’s a small spot a little bit hidden in a small strip mall. Seeing it’s location and noticing their trucks, I figure that they must do a good business supplying markets and other spots delivering their goods.
Went in, and picked up a loaf of Challah. I love a good Challah and frankly this was the best Challah I ever had. It was outstanding. Service was friendly.
I am definitely going back for more.
Sorry, no picture this time because I ate it before thinking of taking a pic.
Check this place out.
Cheers to All

I go here every morning. The staff is very friendly and rounds up my order. The danishes and coffee cakes are outstanding. I also like the bagels. I highly recommend it

When I originally discovered this place 6 years ago it was really good, and went out of my to get their bagels. I recently bought a bag at Garden Fresh and it was just bread shaped like a bagel with poppy seeds on it.
Maybe they changed owners or bakers? The love is gone…

Always fresh, always delicious, and always a pleasure coming in! Thank you!

Shabbot Shalom! I absolutely love this bakery. There’s something so homey coming in every once in a while where you just don’t want to leave. The manager Liat, is super nice, always there to help you out if you need advice picking something out, she’s just super friendly and that’s always a plus going anywhere. Also, the fact that she’s there almost every day is another plus so you know you’re always in good hands.
I have to say that I love challah, I can eat it day or night, sun or rain, it is my go to comfort food and I must say that Shalom Bakery makes the best challah that I’ve ever had. It is always fresh, never stale, super soft and has the perfect combo of sweetness to it. It is just pure perfection. I literally need to come every Friday and get a loaf of it for my family because it is just that good. And it’s for a really good price of $ 3 so that honestly cannot be beat. I know they cater to the Jewel in Buffalo Grove, but if you want it the most fresh, you have to come here and get it. Now let’s not stop on the Challah, everything here is super tasty from my best friends love of their chocolate croissants (they are pretty darn good) to my love of all the different types of Kosher cookies they have. I haven’t tried the bagels but I hear that those are also very good.
Overall, this place truly is a hidden gem. The only downfall is that it’s cash only, but I remember I didn’t have the tax one time in change so Liat gave it to me for the $ 3 instead of the $ 3.08 I owed which is super sweet if you ask me. Don’t wait and don’t miss out, go get some challah and make yourself the best sandwich you could think of for lunch because everything always tastes better on good ol’ challah! Holla if you have any questions about this place!

Shalom Bakery is my favorite place to get challah. I’ve also tried the chocolate chip coffee cake and an assortment of bagels; all of which were nothing short of completely delicious. This bakery is not local to me but I will make the trip to Buffalo Grove just to stock up for the week, although sometimes the treats I bring home don’t last more than a few days. It’s probably a blessing this bakery isn’t closer to me as I would probably have a weight problem.
The staff is friendly and always helpful. It’s always a treat to visit this place.
