Peterson’s Tasty Delight Bakery

We stopped in one day and got some donuts-​assorted. And a few muffins! Service was excellent and the bakery goods were out of this world. Cute bakery! Prices are reasonable! You MUST GO! You will fall in

We LOVE this bakery! Everything from their coffee cakes, custom cakes, cupcakes, mini-​desserts and donuts are fantastic! We’ve used them for all sorts of parties (graduation and birthday) and appreciate their detail to their art as well as their focus on flavor. Recently our son was diagnosed with a peanut allergy and it has been hard on him. Fortunately his allergy is not as severe as some but we still have to be careful. I’d like to make a suggestion that Petersen’s consider putting their peanut donuts on a separate sheet from their sprinkle donuts, or possibly making a few to set aside for those with mild peanut allergies.

Never had a bad pastry or donut from this place! Everything is so delicious and well-​made. Great service too.

This place has great pastries. The cronut is a glazed croissant it doesn’t look appealing but it is amazing. My coworkers and I crave it every morning. You have to try one and you ll be hooked.

I stopped in here last week to grab some pastries for my people on my way into the office. Beings that I am fairly new, I did not think bringing in a box of doughnuts from a gas station would be setting the right tone. I once bought one of those gas station roses for a GF back in high school on Valentine’s Day. She dumped me like a week later.
Not knowing where exactly would be a good place, I turned to my trusty Unilocal App and it (and my nose) lead me here. The place is contained within a strip mall and is not just super easy to find if you have never been before. It also a relatively small establishment. The aroma in the air of this place just walking through the door was intoxicating. Almost like getting a contact weed high from riding shotgun in a particular friend of mine’s car. My mouth began watering as I was still chatting with the clerk and deciding upon what I wanted to go with. That Pavlov guy was really smart.
I ended up going with an assortment of danish, as well as both filled and unfilled doughnuts as was recommended. It was everything I could do to hold back from tearing the box open on my way into the office (maybe a 8 – 10 min drive).
Once there, the staff tore into them like a pack of rapid wolves. The guys were naturally double fisting it on their way out of the break room. But even the super hot girl who I have long suspected might be anorexic had two in hand. Apparently, how awesome this bakery does pastries is far from a secret to the locals. I only got one Bavarian cream doughnut myself, but it was outstanding! The chocolate topping was to die for and the thick bavarian cream melted my mouth. I could of probably polished off several more with ease, so I am glad my coworkers took them all.
This place is slightly more expensive than going to some chain, but well worth the additional price in my view. They also do custom cakes for celebratory occasions as well, which is good to keep in the back of my mind. This is the best, from scratch, bakery I have been to in years.

I always have to stop here for donuts when I’m in town. This is also my go to place for birthday cake. My guests are always asking where the cake is from. Zoe always decorates the cakes perfectly!

We have been longtime customers of Peterson’s, but have only had The coffee cakes and donuts. Both of which are friggin fantastic. Just yesterday, we took delivery of two birthday cakes custom designed for our daughter’s first birthday. The cake decorator, Zoe, perfectly delivered on our request. Our guests were wowed by the look and craftsmanship of both cakes. Some even asked «are those real cakes!?»
In addition to the beautiful look of the cakes the taste was everything I was hoping for. Light and fluffy white cake, fresh strawberries and decadent frosting. We couldn’t be happier!

Man this place does not disappoint! My bfs family has been getting their birthday cakes here for years. (It’s a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and the frosting part is almost a chocolate ganache) it’s so good! We tried cupcakes and donuts from them today which were just as great. The front of the store is a little deceiving, kinda a whole in the walk type. But his family has been coming here (religiously) like I said for forever and now I can see why!

I love this bakery. I’ve never got something bad from here. Danishes, donuts, cookies – all delicious. I particularly love the almond Danishes. Price is reasonable, especially for what you get. Staff is always super nice and friendly. I wish I could give more stars. Definitely check them out.

Now this is an excellent bakery! Throwback to when bakeries carried scratch made, fresh baked goodness and not just box mix stuff. They truly deliver here!
Favorites include any of their muffins, their cookies, apple fritters, long john donuts and cinnamon rolls.
Plus they have friendly bakery ladies. I know… it’s a weird plus to have, but it makes such a difference when you are greeted warmly and treated like a valuable customer rather than a nuisance. They’ve got the best attitude and it shows the moment you walk in the door!
I’ve pretty much only visited on Saturday mornings and the stream of customers is steady, but they move things along quickly here. They don’t have a huge selection, but everything we have tried has been a winner at our home and so we will keep going back. Next up? Decorated cakes! We haven’t ordered a cake from here yet, but plan to do so soon!

Best donuts ever. Half the time they sell out of the glazed before I even get there. This place is truly a hidden gem. I’m getting hungry even thinking about it. Try anything, they’re that good.

they have maple bacon donuts here! but you’d better be an early riser as they sell out of them quick! we tried out a couple of other donuts and the danish pastries and they were quite good too. will be back to try other things!

Funny birthday cake story!
When I realized last night that OMG! Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday! I panicked. Looked up bakeries here on Unilocal,found this place and left a frantic message (after they’d closed.) I live in CA and I told them so in my message, but they kindly called me back several times, starting at 5:20 AM my time. Finally, I woke up and talked to a really nice woman who assured me that my parents would enjoy a carrot cake. Wow! And they deliver. Wow! And the price is right. WOW!
My Dad and Mom went to my brother’s for birthday lunch. Sure enough, the cake I ordered was sitting on their porch when they pulled up. But my Dad called me to say that it was inedible… because «somebody beat them to the party» and «he wasn’t even wearing a party hat!» Turns out, the cake was all chewed up… by a squirrel… who scampered away when they walked up to the door! Dad said, «He didn’t even wish me a Happy Birthday!» Turns out, Peterson’s provided the most memorable birthday ever! The whole family is laughing about the squirrel who shredded the thin plastic wrapping and enjoyed the party all by himself.
Thanks, Peterson’s! This turned into a REALLY fun event! Next time I’m visiting my parents, I’m DEFINITELY coming into your bakery so that this time, we all get a chance to actually taste your wares… and none for the squirrel.

My son and I decided to drop in for a cookie while we were waiting for another store in the strip to open. Omg, this place is pure delish! I haven’t found a tastier bakery! The chocolate éclair is divine!
I took away a star because the staff wasn’t very friendly at all.

Based on reviews, I wanted to try out this bakery, hoping to get a couple cupcakes. It’s located in a plaza and is pretty small.
They did not have single cupcakes available, just pre packaged half dozen cupcakes. They seemed to have a large variety of donuts available though. The cupcakes were good, but nothing too special about them. The frosting was pretty good. I would likely return though to try a donut, not a cupcake.

Mmmm this places smells delightful! It is tricky to find (look for the red ‘bakery’ sign located in the strip mall), but it was worth it. It’s a pretty small place, but they have a variety of small pastries, doughnuts, cakes, breads, and a few cookies. If you like doughnuts, this is your place! I bought 3 doughnuts for under $ 4! Cheap! We went in the afternoon, and I was expecting everything to be picked over, but they still had quite a bit to choose from. Everything tasted wonderful, and the woman who was working was very helpful. Definitely a good place to come and get a sweet treat or pick up some doughtnuts in the morning for the office!

I love this bakery. I have loved this bakery since I was 12, and we first moved into the area. I have loved these foods since my sister worked here 14 years ago, and would bring us home delicious goodies from the shelves.
The inside isn’t big – but then again, it doesn’t need to be. It’s a carry-​out only establishment, and there’s no room to sit down inside anywhere and eat your delicious goodies.
I have been in the bakery about 100 times. This morning, there were a bunch of teenage girls running the front counter. They were fast, efficient, and tired, it seemed like. None of them smiled, but it’s cool. I got my delicious goodies!
Their donuts are soooooooooooooo good! We got a few different kinds (chocolate cake, raised, braided, and powdered) and every single one of them is melt-​in-​your-​mouth fantastic. The blueberry muffin was really fresh and had a plethora of blueberries. It wasn’t dried out or anything like some muffins can get.
The cookies the kids got were really good too. Well, I assume they were since they devoured them in record time!
My total for two huge cookies, ½ dozen donuts and a blueberry muffin was around $ 15. So not the cheapest around, but it definitely worth the «dough» (see what I did there?!)
I can’t wait to revisit again so I can relive my childhood over and over!

Everything is so good, especially their smiley face cookies. The reason I did not give 5 stars is their hours. Half the time I go there, they’re closed. They aren’t any good at returning phone calls, either. Other than that, I cannot resist Peterson’s when I am in the area!

Hidden in a Strip Mall in Hoffman Estates lies one gem of a traditional European style bakery. Sure they don’t have trendy mini desserts (there’s nary a French macaron to be seen or any other petite desserts that grace the covers of all the haute magazines lately), but there’s much to be said for a great traditional bakery, and Peterson’s Tasty Delight is most definitely one such staple.
Our original game plan when we got married was that we’d go back to the bakery where we got our wedding cake every year and have them recreate the top layer for us on our anniversary. Well, I dropped the ball big time this year, which left me scrambling for a celebratory cake for our wedding anniversary (and of course I didn’t even think about it until the night before). I had planned to hit up another local bakery on my way home from work, but I flaked out and headed in the opposite direction. Well crap.
Luckily I remembered passing a strip mall every day on my way home from work that had a «Bakery» sign nestled in the middle of the row of stores, and I figured something was better than nothing. When I pulled up to the storefront, I have to admit that I noticed that it wasn’t much to look at, and I wondered if I wouldn’t be better just stopping at The Fresh Market or something for a cute fruit tart or raspberry mousse cake, but I figured I’d give them a shot anyways. While the store is not much to look at, I will have to say that the bakery cases are filled to the brim with amazing looking treats like coffee cakes, muffins, breads, cookies, and the seasonally popular paczkis (that I have been craving since I saw them). They’re all reasonably priced, which is another plus. They also have a rotating cake display right when you walk into the store — score.
I selected the smallest cake that they had (8″) in my hungrier half’s favorite flavor (chocolate), since I dropped the ball on the original plan, I figured the least I could do was get his favorite kind of cake and maybe he wouldn’t notice. The cake was just over $ 12 (including tax), which is a steal given how big the cake is. Let me tell you, sheer willpower was (almost) not enough to keep me from eating the entire cake after that first bite! The cake is moist and chocolatey, and the filling is pure whipped heaven. I’ve been thinking about having another slice ever since I took the last bite, and I can guarantee you that cake doesn’t stand a chance.
For a little traditional bakery, Peterson’s definitely competes with the more well-​known area bakeries such as Deerfield and Jaroesch, no doubt. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other delightful treats that they offer… coffee cake, your days are numbered.

Best muffins I’ve ever had! I love trying bakeries in the area and finally made my way over to Peterson’s Tasty Delight Bakery last weekend. I bought a plethora of goodies for myself and friends but the muffins stood way out.
The chocolate chip muffin and chocolate chip espresso muffins were both so moist and the best I’ve ever had. Huge, as well! I’m going to have to go back just for the muffins!
I tried a a brownie with a chocolate covered oreo on top — ummmm, yes! I’m a sucker for chocolate and this was chocolate on chocolate. Perfection for a chocoholic!
Their donuts are just delicious, as well. The frosting in particular was rich and thick.
I got a whole lot of items and my total was $ 15 — great deal! I’ll be back and be back soon!
