Pastigel Bakery

I used to come here years ago and now that I’m back from college it still gives me the same feelings. How I missed the smell of pastries and sugar. Everyone is so nice and everything is so delicious. Generously priced and beautiful.

I've been coming to Pastigel for a couple of years now. It's nice to have a bakery right in downtown Elgin. We noticed that they opened up a Mexican/Columbian restaurant in the downstairs area, a change that I'm really happy with. The area is comfortable and has a relaxing vibe. The food is good and, like always, the staff are welcoming and pleasant. I'd love to see this little restaurant grow into something more!

We ordered a Birthday cake for my son's 3rd birthday and it was DELICIOUS! Super moist the filling was exactly what I wanted. Be cautious about the dye used for the frosting. They did warn us about using black so we went with grey and green(which still stains) Other than that highly recommend this place. They have a great selection of sweets. We will be ordering from them again! 🙂
