Kean's Bakery - Itasca

I wanted cinnamon rolls for my office. I was looking for cinnamon near me and Kanes came as a local business. I saw the big fluffy rolls on the photos (not the regular donut shops). They only offer the fluffy on the weekend in the photo. I bought the regular style for my office and found it a bit dry and the glaze was much too thick and sweet for my taste. The store was clean and in the old part of Itasca.

Staff is super friendly. The donuts are always amazing, the croissant with chocolate on it are my absolute favorite! And their cakes are amazingly delicious!

I grew up in with a neighborhood bakery, and great baked goods every weekend. When I went back to the old neighborhood, it was gone, and I've only found poor substitutes for the next 30 years. Then I found Kean's, and it has lived up to my old memories. Busy with overworked counter-women who are always polite and courteous, and fantastic baked goods. This time of the year the paczkis can't be beat with delicious filling and lovely soft dough. Their doughnuts are great every single day. Their cupcakes and cakes are delicious. And my wife swears by their almond crescents. Haven't tried their pies, yet, but all their fruit filling is wonderful, so I expect the same there. And their small hard rolls are a delight. I don't know where the negative reviews of this bakery come from, but we consider ourselves lucky to have found it.

Everything is so good. It is hard to pick out something.

This bakery has an incredible aroma that hits you as soon as you walk in. I picked up 2 pounds of cookies, some cherry slices, and a raspberry muffin loaf.
