Whenever your parents drag you somewhere new? Read: kids pov by my daughter:
Gerhard’s is a quaint bakery for sweet tooth’s of all ages. We tried the meringue tart. We LOVED it because it was crunchy creamy and super delicious! It had the perfect mixture of flavors from creamy fruit to crunchy meringue! I’m excited to go back with my friends and family to try more! - kids pov.

Would Highly Recommend this Awesome Bakery! Best Pastries and sweets we've had. Everything is Yummy and so Pretty. The owner is one of the sweetest & kindest people you could ever meet. Such a great experience each year we are in town, Gerhards is a must to visit.

We ordered our wedding cake from Gerhard's and it was delicious. I highly recommend Gerhard's for special events. They are professional, detail-oriented, and most importantly the desserts are delicious! Our cake was a two-tiered, raspberries and lemon mousse flavor with horizontal piping details.

I have been coming here for cakes and pastries for years! This is the first time I wrote a review about the bakery. It is the best around here and therefore willing to pay a bit more. However, the week of Thanksgiving, a six inch tiramisu cake went from $48 when the sale lady told me at the cake show case to $58 at the cash register when I decided to purchase. Seriously?

Absolutely divine! They bent over backwards to accommodate my last minute request (I needed it the next day) for a gluten free birthday cake for my sister. The chocolate cake was an artistic masterpiece and the taste transported us to another world. Many thanks to the nice lady I talked to on the phone and to the pastry chef. If you need a beautiful, delicious treat for someone special in your life, including yourself, give them a call. You will be more than pleased.

The only thing more charming than the look of this place is the people who work here. Im new to Chicago and i found this place while wating for a missed train and couldn't belive how amazing the food is.

I had tried the cake from here. But was not a regular. That has definitely change. I get my birthday cakes here now. I like that they have different size cakes. The phrase "good things come in small packages". The flavor in one bite is all you need. As you savor the delicious smoothness ond flavor. My two favorites are the tiramisu and the cheesecake. Can definitely see why they are a little pricier than store bought. The friendlyness of the staff is great, makes you feel like family.
