**This is the first review I have ever done in my life. Ive experienced some bad service in the past but never bad enough to motivate me to waste my time and write reviews. But this is unacceptable.** Today we stopped in to this place and picked up a pecan pie, slice of cheese cake and a loaf of bread. Got home only to find that the bread was old upon making chicken breast sandwiches for lunch. The bread CRUMBLED and FELL APART as it was obviously AT LEAST one day old, possibly more. After lunch, I moved onto the pecan pie hoping it would be their usual good quality pecan pie. H O R R I B L E. Aldi sells a pecan pie off the shelf for $2.99 that beats this pecan pie by a mile which I think was sitting in their freezer for months. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE and unacceptable. (The pie was brought out to me from back of the store, which is why after eating it I believe it was in the freezer. In the past, Ive found them on the tables in front of the store). I came to this place expecting a home made quality pie and FRESH bread - because it IS a bakery, after all, but didnt get it today. Wife says the cheese cake was okay although it didnt have any crust. Overall, I wont be back anymore and will stop recommending this neighborhood bakery to friends who ask. What a total waste of $9.

3/9/10 I havent been to the bakery for awhile, so I stopped to get 2 coffee cakes, I was shocked at what used to be long cakes filled wtih filling turned out to be dollar store looking coffee cakes made in a tin pan with long on striped icing put on by a machine. Tha almond paste was barerly in the cake, the cheese filling was a thin layer in the middle of the cake. These cakes used to be filled full with flavorare now like I said look like rejects I bought from an outlet bakery. The turnover with the stripped frosting had atleast a teaspoon of canned apple filling. yum yum. Where are all the good bakeries? another memorie of the past

My sister has been going to Sweet Connection for years, so when my son told us he and his fiancé were getting married on 8/22/15, i knew where i was getting the wedding cake. And let me tell you, Sweet Connection did not disappoint!!! Though the decor and topper on the cake were important, more important was the flavor. The bride wanted Chcolate. So I explained this very important detail to Carla, the cake consultant. Omg!!! Got the chocolate cake with white chocolate mouse. IT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Thank you, Carla and Sweet Connection!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

I bought a cake in El Guero in Cresthill il when we got home to cut the cake it was spoiled. I went back to the store and told me that they were fresh every day yet there is no expiration time or date. I bought another one tasted ok but one of my family members took a bite and there was some type of plastic with metal stuff in it. This place is obviously not sanitary. It ruined our party! Check the date on the cake, if it has one!

Love the friendly service! Cakes and pastries are very good. Cookies are ok generally speaking, but a few flavors stand out more so from the rest. Also, I like the fact that these sweets dont have a processed or sugar loaded taste. Its just right!

I dont love everything here. Carrot cake is very good, chocolate cakes good. Cookies are just ok. Spanikopita is very good. Bread ok. Doughnut and coffee cakes are good.
