Crema's Take
“The Bakester is a full-service tea room and bakery that treats its pastries and breakfast offerings like art—reviewers consistently praise the fresh, beautifully presented desserts and panini that justify lingering for hours. The whole operation feels intentionally nostalgic and warm, with a holiday-magic atmosphere that makes it worth calling ahead for reservations, especially if you're planning a special occasion like a birthday celebration. If you want a cappuccino that's actually balanced and a place where the pacing is slow enough to actually relax, this is the suburban gem you've been looking for.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

An amazing High Tea and experience in NW Suburbs. We went there on a Sunday for a family Bday. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time as i don't think they do walk ins. We also asked for vegetarian options for the sandwiches which they honored and everything was so good.…

What a fabulous and beautiful coffee shop. Each suburb needs one of these. The cappuccino was perfect, not bitter and not too much milk with lots of frost. We also enjoyed a scone and an apricot and cherry tart which were so yummy. The decor is very welcoming. A very lovely…
