LiSTENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, I usually do a lengthy paragraph for a review. " BANANA CHERRY BAKERY" IS CRAACKKKKKKKKKK. I LYE TO YOU NOT. HOWEVER IT IS NOT CHEAP , BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR , ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH THE PRICES . IF YOU ARE A BAKERY/COFFEE TYPE OF PERSON THIS THE PLACE LITERALLY. THIS BAKERY IS LITTLE WITH A LONG LINE BUT MIGHTYYY. UR MOUTH WILL JUST WATER OFF THE AROMA IN THE BAKERY WHILE STANDING IN LINE LOL. IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT ARRIVING BEFORE THEY OPEN TO BEAT THE LINE , JUST FORGET ABOUT IT . I OBSERVED HAVING A LINE 1 HOUR BEFORE THEY EVEN OPENED. Again please go financially PREPARED 🙏 ITS NOT CHEAP BUT WORTH IT. THE PLACE IS TRUELY AMAZING THEY SHOULD BE AT A POINT WHERE THEY CAN UPGRADE TO A BIGGER BAKERY . BE PREPARED ALWAYS FOR A LINE TO CONQUER BEFORE MAKING IT TO picking your goodies out and the register. Fun venture if you truly love BAKERYs . It's made fresh in house and everything is warm it's CRAZY GOOD BLEW MY MIND LITERALLY 😌, JUST GO!!

Awesome everything! Small sit down area, but mostly a puck up pastry Shop. Croissants are better here than in France!

What an amazing bakery; a real gem to find while visiting Rockford. Absolutely delicious, fresh, perfectly baked croissants and danishes. As much as I enjoyed the pastry, the caramel pecan bread pudding was my favorite - the best bread pudding I’ve ever had! The high quality, taste and generous size of all the items are absolutely worth the price. A special thank you to the very welcoming gentleman (and one of the bakers) who patiently guided me through all the available bakery choices. For those who plan to visit, the bakery is only open Thursday through Saturday.

  • Parking space: Plenty of parking
  • Parking options: Free parking lot
