TERRIBLE! I had high hopes based off reviews, so I splurged on the large vanilla blackberry cake for a baby-shower... COMPLETE MISTAKE! Do not put your trust into this company! For $90 I received a crocked tall cake with dried babies-breath and wilted green leaves for the topper... The flavor and quality was poor. I asked when I pick up the cake "where are the flowers for the top of the cake?" I was told the fine print said it was subject to what is in season... The date was April 8...Tulips, Lilys, Daisies are all in season...and I received WEEDS! Total disappointment... Go some where else. This business owner should be ashamed of her performance - she over promised and under delivered in many ways. Dont put your trust into this company - seriously, go somewhere else.

Candice is an artist and her medium is cake. She dreams up the most amazing flavor combinations and brings them to life in the most beautiful way possible. We had three cakes in the following flavors: sweet almond cake with vanilla bean frosting; orange water and thyme cake with orange water frosting and blackberries; and Chocolate Malty Balls (a local bourbon barrel aged stout) with malted candies. In displaying the cakes, she used her own vintage cake stands and our handmade book-page roses to maximum effect. Our guests couldnt get enough and are still complimenting our gorgeous and delicious cakes. I recommend Cacao Sweets and Treats for anyone looking for that perfect flavor (or three) for their elegant event.

Apparently Cacao changed their policy from pre-ordering their pizza dough from 24 hours to 48. I wasnt aware of this. I called this morning to place my order (we have company coming for dinner tomorrow night) and they turned me down. I was told that I could call tomorrow to see if they happen to have any left. You would think a small business would be a little more flexible than that. I find it hard to believe that a bakery is running low on yeast and flour. Well stick with Marianos. Theyre happy to accommodate even if they dont any already packed up. Yummy pizza dough but disappointing customer service.

My family and I are in love with this bakery for many reasons! First of all I find it really refreshing to see baked goods that are not saturated in bright colors and coated with candy bits and gel frosting! This bakery has the right touch in sweetness, adding in all natural and organic ingredients that make your special treat so amazing! Saturday morning biscuits are out of this world along with their cup of café latte and my kids absolutely love the CACAO-OS cookies and we never leave without a fresh baked loaf of bread and their pancake mix! Thanks Cacao Sweets & Treats for being my local bakery.

There is always something new and delicious to try when you walk through the doors. The awesome twists on classic flavors we love is inspiring! My family has now become regulars on Saturdays for the biscuit of the week which never disappoints! If youre going to have a treat then make sure it is something worth while. These baking goddesses take the notion of from scratch to a whole other level. Were talking about vanilla that has been aged for a year and peanut butter made in-house. All natural and organic baked treats? Get there now!

Best bakery Ive ever been to! The place is absolutely adorable- every little inch of it is thoughtfully and uniquely put together... You wont want to leave! Aside from that though, you wont find better desserts. I loooove their Cacao Stix and pretty much any cake theyve ever made. We hired them for our wedding and received tons of compliments, So we hired them and rented their space for our gender reveal party. It was perfect. Professional and friendly owner and fantastic treats.

This place is amazing, I havent had anything I didnt like. I went one time to have a tea date with my two little girls, and I dont even like tea. But Candice takes great care in the products she offers her customers, and both of the teas I tried were amazing. If you have a chance, I recommend stopping in. Everything is made from scratch, and the portions are large enough to share!

The main reason we are customers for life is not just the incredible taste of the food, but the true, sincere passion, commitment and integrity that stands behind the food. Candice is a true leader in the clean, organic space. This is also why I not only buy their products personally, but also have built my own business around their sweets and treats. Keep up the great job!

The atmosphere is amazing! I could not think of a better place to get my weekly treat from. The music is always on point and I can find a little nook to study in. Croissants and the layer cakes are to die for and they constantly come up with new unique flavors.

Every morsel Cacao makes is natural, from scratch and tastes divine! Theyve gone above and beyond for every event, from birthdays to weddings, at our resort.

I stop by at Cacao a few times a week. Great organic pastries to go with their delicious coffee. Friendly staff. A must-have for downtown Grayslake.

This is my favorite treat stop with my clients. Who knew organic bakery sweets could be this good. Always a nice finish to any meeting.
