La Luz Bakery - Mundelein

Wonderful. Great pastries and everything looked delicious. Friendly people.

Always drive by this place small bakery, stopped by today because I wanted a rosca ....the small one was available but looked kinda small so I asked for a medium which they grabbed from the back...I payed and when I got home I realized the medium looked exactly like the small didn't even fill the box, rip off ??? luckily it was good ?. Definitely won't be going back.?

Delicious! Stopped for a few pastries on my birthday. Ended up getting a whole pan of goodies, some tortas, fruit tarts, and my birthday cake! Tres leches of course! We will be back!

I feel like it was hard to review this place. I had read so many great reviews that maybe I went in with too high of expectations. To start, there were way more bakery items here than I expected! It was pretty overwhelming, making it difficult to decide what to get (and to figure out what is good). I picked up a variety of different treats: tres leches cake, flan, churros, concha bread, and rice pudding empanada. The results were mixed. As everyone has said, the tres leches cake is superb and is probably the highlight of what they make at this bakery. The other standout was the rice pudding empanada. There are no signs that say what the different pastries are so we picked it out and took a chance. It ended up being a pleasant surprise. Just perfectly sweet. But, it would be nice if they could put up signs so customers can decide what they want without having to ask staff. The churros were pretty hard and stale by the time we got them in the middle of the day. Perhaps they taste better when they are fresh. Otherwise, would not recommend. The concha bread was huge and super soft! But overall, the flavor was light and was not as sweet as I would have liked. The flan I did not mind, but my family thought it was way too firm. Overall, this bakery was too far out of my way to come back to. There were some standout items, but there were also a lot of other items that were pretty lackluster.

Very friendly staff members. Love their tres leches cakes. The cakes are so yummy, fresh and rich and melts in your mouth. They have fresh breads and donuts which are made everyday and they all taste so good. I have tried almost all breads and all are good. They make wedding cakes as well which you can order.I got to know they have hot chocolate and i need to try that next time for sure.
