La Croute Bakery Cafe - Rockton, Illinois

Hey Everyone,
I went to this very nice bakery today (family owned) with my best friend from WI. I was referred to this place by my massage therapist Christie from Lifestyle Massage! I’m so glad she told me about this place! I decided out of so many selections of bakery goods they had to try their new cheesecake cup. It was so creamy, smooth, and wonderfully enjoyable with every bite. I also had a medium Latte Mocha to go with it. One thing that I noticed was the great pricing on the coffee and the bakery items too. I also ordered to go was a cream puff and a chocolate croissant but I still have it in the box they gave it to me in. I will come back and add that experience later with you. It’s a cute little shop for you and a friend can sit down grab a coffee and a pastry and chat about life. Not only that the plus for me was going into the consignment store next door and shop some. I shall return this week and probably get the tarts and a matcha latte! The service there was very nice and the people there are sweet as their pastries!

Happy 90th birthday party in Madison Wisconsin. Super moist delicious chocolate cake. My mother-in-law wanted Devils food - and this deep chocolaty 3 layer cake did not disappoint. Will order again for future events. Frosting is a deep fudge flavor, and cake is beautifully decorated. Transported well in the car.

Great stop! They have a proper espresso machine to prepare great coffee. The baked goods all looked wonderful, and we took home 2 fresh loaves of sour dough bread. Highly recommend!

I simply love finally having a good local coffee AND bakery shop to go to.

So far I’ve experienced exceptional service and delicious baked goods. You simply MUST try the bacon, cheddar, and chive scones. I purchased my first loaf of sourdough bread today to have with some soup I made and it was the perfect combination on a cold January day. I will definitely be buying more sourdough from this business in the future (the jalapeño cheddar loaf sounds delicious!). There are also several yummy looking pastries/cookies to choose from. I can’t wait to go back and sample some others!

I have no complaints about the price point of anything. I’m over paying less for lower quality (Dunkin’, Starbucks, etc). I’ll happily spend a few more dollars to know that I’m getting real food with quality ingredients.

Support your local small businesses! They need and deserve it.

This is such a cute and amazing addition to downtown Rockton. I tried the broccoli cheddar soup with a side of bread, their jalapeño cheddar sourdough loaf, and an Asiago bagel. Everything was amazing! Highly recommend!

Finally a place with real bread in this town. I bought the French bread and it was delicious. The prices are also very reasonable if you understand the labor involved to make bread as well as sourdough. Yes schnucks is cheaper but the list of ingredients is a paragraph long that you can't pronounce and it doesn't even taste good. I hope our town supports this business because the bread at the grocery store is barely even food.

We bought cupcakes and chocolate puffs. We were extremely disappointed. We bought three different flavored cupcakes, they were so dry and the frosting tasted like nothing. It was all extremely bland. We spent over $50 for 9 cupcakes and 6 puff pastries. I would not recommend them to anyone who is looking for flavorful desserts.

This place is amazing! We bought Italian Christmas cookies from her pop up last year and we were so happy she opened her own shop. The bread is amazing, the pastries were delicious and the coffee was excellent. Definitely check this great business out!
