Sweet Reserve Bakery & Cafe - Bakery and Cake Shop in Lombard - 625 E Roosevelt Rd, USA

Update 1/6/23. This piece gets really busy on the weekends especially after 8 pm. It looked like they were understaffed since there weren’t a lot of silverware available. Seats were limited. It’s still a great place to get desserts and I love how aesthetically pleasing they are. I would recommend going on a weeknight. This time I ordered gluten free chocolate torte, passion fruit cheesecake slice, key lime tart, and kashmiri chai. Everything was palatable. Gluten free chocolate torte was smooth and just a small amount of richness. You don’t want it to be too rich, otherwise you’ll feel full faster. Passion fruit cheesecake, you can immediately taste the fruit and it’s not subtle at all. Key lime tart was very good, not as sour as you would think. Kashmiri chai I’ll have to order again. Very savory and I love how there are pistachios in it. Small dessert place but they also have some savory options that I’ll have to try next time. Nice hangout place. It wasn’t busy when I went and there were no kids. We ordered creme brulee, cookie butter cakesicle, gulab jamun cheesecake, ras malai cake jar, karak chai tea, and pina colada. I didn’t have any favorites. All of the desserts were delicious. Prices are reasonable, since there aren’t too many Indian dessert places.

I'm pretty disappointed in my last experience purchasing from this bakery. Within the last two weeks I've purchased 4 cakes and pastries from this bakery and each time the experience has now wanted me to stop giving this bakery my business altogether. The first three purchases were fantastic in terms of quality and appearance. However, this last cake order is incomparable and doesn't measure up. I'm praying this cake tastes as good as the others; otherwise, it would have been both waisted time and money. Also, there customer service is lacking --- they appear unorganized and provide an unwelcoming atmosphere. It is understandable that there busy and possibly short-staffed but it doesn't excuse the poor customer service. I'm pretty disappointed because I thought I had found a favorite local bakery.

Just attended the 2 year anniversary celebration for Sweet Reserve and if you haven't visited this cute cafe and bakery, you're missing out. The two Muslim women who own this place were former teachers and they wanted to take their love for baking to another level. They picked out every aspect of the bakery to be modern but with a comforting element that just makes you want to stay awhile with your friends for a cup of tea. In fact, our book club meets here every month. Today, we had their cookies, brownies, lemonade, dessert shooters and their cupcakes. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Their desserts have the perfect amount of sweet that doesn't make you feel heavy afterwards. My favorite is the chocolate hazelnut cake jar and their Kashmiri chai!

An amazing blend of Pakistani flavors in desserts. Kids loved the caksicle. We tried various flavors of cake jars and cheese cake. The cramel mochiatto was decent.

Delicious spot for a dessert and chai. It's got plenty of space to sit and is aesthetically pleasing. Shout out to Christina for allowing us to sample drinks before we ordered. Highly recommend the karak chai.

I bought vanilla sprinkle cake for my daughter’s birthday it wasn’t as expected. The cake was a bit hard and icing was way too much than the cake itself. And also now I feel that it is overpriced ($40) with this quality. They even charged 3 dollars extra just to write happy birthday. I hope they work on this taking my feedback.

The staff member working 9/17 130ish was phenomenal. She had a great recommendation on the caramel macchiato. Their homemade caramel sauce was delicious. The dessert items were got were so good. Cake in a jar cookie butter mouthwatering. Highly recommend.

I was there first time today. Place looks pretty and inviting. Pastries and cakes look beautiful. Unfortunately I got stone hard scone that I couldn’t eat because I would’ve broken my teeth and tart that was couple days old. Big disappointment as place looks great and salesperson was nice.
