La Illusion Bakery - Carpentersville

There is a wide variety of Mexican sweet bread available here. Highly recommended!

The service here is incredibly slow; I've even had to serve myself at the register! It's a nightmare. Additionally, the bakery sells bread that appears to be expired, which is really disappointing for customers.

Be sure to pay attention to the bread charges. Whenever I visit (which is infrequently), I have to double-check that I'm being billed correctly, as I've often encountered the issue of being charged for items I didn't order.

I really would love to give this place 5 stars I really love their tamales and Mexican bread but the older lady at the counter is really rude she was super rude to this man who came in and just simply asked if the tamales were spicy and she answered him so rude that he got upset and left. If you don’t like your job than maybe go out and find something else no need to be rude to others also the whole time she was complaining that it was so busy she couldn’t take her break.

I hate that they don't do two types of fillings on smaller cakes. They will only do it for larger cakes. They use to be able to do it and now they don't want to.
