Since 1930, our family has been baking quality products for dessert lovers like you. Our story begins with my father-in-law, John Slove, being hired to work as an apprentice in a Chicago bakery. While there he learned everything there is to know about baking. Then, in 1946, he and my mother-in-law, Grace, opened their own bakery on Diversey Avenue in Chicago – Slove Bakery. Their goal was to produce great quality desserts and provide excellent customer service: he did the baking; she the hand shaking. Through hard work and determination they grew the business and the bakery’s reputation as one of the finest in the Chicagoland area.

For five good tasting pastries it was only $12. That’s not bad at all. They have cute stands and set ups. HUGE place, wish it had some music so it wouldn’t be so awkwardly quiet trying to find something to get Trey was very patient while I decided what to get. Thank you.

I was able to talk to the manager and there was a miscomunication on sunday when i spoke to the gentlemen, he wasnt laughing at me. The mgr offered me half refund
First time client here. Extremely disappointed doesn’t even begin to explain my situation. I ordered a basic cake 10 inch round… some writing on the top and bottom border and choc shavings on the side. When i picked the cake up i did look at it and noticed a few mistakes. However, i was in a hurry and knew what was wrong couldn’t be fixed in the matter of 2 min or so. I did take the cake. When i opened the cake and took the box sides down i noticed more mistakes.
The choc shavings on the side were missing patches , like bigger patches that were completely noticeable
The writing looked like a ten yr did it. Please look at my pic and ull understand. Squiggly in some places, too much product in others. Didn’t look clean cut
Cake was slanting to one side
The border was the worst. The border was uneven in size around the cake (significantly) and wasn’t connected in some spots
The choc buttercream on top was too thin and u could see the dark brown cake underneath
I wrote a email to the manager and called the next day. When i spoke to a employee to leave a msg and told them what happened they actually laughed. Before this situation all i wanted was a apology since i did take the cake, but now, bc of the way i was treated on the phone i wanted a full refund. On Tuesday i received a call from a employee asking what happened and said she would personally talk to the manager and that the mgr would call me later that day. Some hrs pass and the same person calls me back, the manager didn’t even call me back herself to offer me a half refund. Wow… just wow! Don’t waste ur money or time here. Please see photos below. I paid over 110 for this cake. If went to a grocery store and paid half the price id expect this but this place IS a actual bakery that charges really high prices

Lovin’ Oven in Antioch is my birthday pick every year. We either get breakfast or lunch, food is always made to order fresh and yummy. But the vast amount of delicious desserts is what brings me back year after year. From danishes, cookies, donuts, pastries, cakes (whole and single sliced), there is something for everyone and it’s really, really good! The service is also excellent with plenty of room and ample seating.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Lovin Oven for years and have always had great experiences, which makes this review even more disappointing to write.
I stopped in Tuesday to purchase Valentine’s Day cookies and cupcakes for a work meeting. The store appeared very short staffed. One employee seemed overwhelmed and wasn’t acknowledging customers coming in, although a very kind older woman did help me with my order.
I purchased 12 cupcakes,12 cookies, and a pie for $102.65. Unfortunately, the quality was very disappointing. The cupcakes tasted old and had an unusual flavor, and the cookies were stale. It was especially embarrassing because I had highly recommended this bakery to my coworkers.
For that price, I expected much better freshness and quality. I’m hoping this was just an off day, but this experience did not reflect the standard I’ve known Lovin Oven for in the past.

I order weekly from Lovin Oven. Sam at the call center is AWESOME! She’s so friendly and always incredibly professional. The cakes are absolutely perfect for the babies first birthday photography sessions that I order for. They’re always made fresh and the frosting is SO soft! My clients LOVE their cakes! Thanks, Lovin Oven!

Lovin Oven did an incredible job providing our wedding cake, and we couldn’t have been happier with their service and the final result! From start to finish, they were so easy to work with, making the process enjoyable and stress-free. The cake was absolutely amazing—both beautiful and delicious!
Their attention to detail and dedication to quality truly stood out. They delivered everything on time, and the presentation was flawless. Beyond the wedding cake, their bakery items are fantastic—every treat we’ve tried has been nothing short of incredible.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional baked goods and outstanding service. Thank you for being such an important part of our special day!

Years ago, I used to really enjoy the tasty treats at Lovin Oven Antioch. Unfortunately the customer service has long been abysmal. Even knowing this, I tried all week to get in contact with someone to answer what I thought was a very simple question: would they be willing and able to make a small Italian cream cake for my mom’s upcoming birthday? My dad and I were each given the run around and told that someone named Nancy would call us back, but our calls were not returned for several days. When I FINALLY received a return call, it was from the young woman who had answered during my initial call and who had already told me plainly she had “never heard of an Italian cream cake” (very interesting after hearing the hold recording that repeatedly claimed they specialize in “old world favorites,” but I digress). It became clear very quickly that there was a massive miscommunication about the type of cake I was asking for. The woman I spoke with told me they could make an Irish Creme cake, which is…not what I asked for. At that point I gave up- I’d rather just go to Jewel than deal with the incompetence and lies at Lovin Oven. Please don’t give these horrible people your business. They very clearly only care about huge, expensive orders, and will treat normal folks just trying to get their mom a nice birthday cake like garbage.
ETA: After reading other reviews, I feel like I got by scot-free compared to the moldy cake

I order my paczki every year from here. This year did not disappoint. Generous sizes and decadent flavor, as they should be. Well worth the price. The atmosphere is great, and the employees are always wonderful and kind.

Bought a cake for my daughter’s birthday. I was disappointed at first that there were no flowers on it but you know what? It ended up being perfect and my gosh it was so delicious!!! Your advice was correct and thank you for adding the shaved chocolate. Rave reviews by everyone at her party!!

Lovin Oven Cakery in Antioch is an incredibly impressive operation with a big and beautiful bakery and we are so thrilled we worked with them for our wedding cake! We loved meeting with Abby for the tasting in the beautiful weddings room at the bakery. She guided us through every step of the process with kindness and patience and we were able to taste so many delicious combinations. It really felt like a fun event! Even though one of us “doesn’t have a sweet tooth” we couldn’t resist how delicious it all was! Our cake (marble cake with raspberry cream and chocolate fudge filling) was as delicious as it was beautiful and our guests raved about it. Lovin Oven also made absolutely adorable “Masters” golf-themed cookies for our welcome party at a mini golf place and knocked it out of the park. We look forward to working with them again for other events in the future and wish the business nothing but the best success!
