Banana Cherry Bakery

Best bakery of my life! This review has been a long time coming as we have come to this place multiple times over since our first time last year while living in Rockford, IL. Now fair warning, this is not a bakery for cheap treats and also not a bakery that has unlimited amounts of the same baked goods so plan to get there at least 30 minutes before opening if you want the best pick of the litter and be prepared to spend more than just $20 (Mainly because you'll want to buy everything). When I say we have never been disappointed by the taste of the baked goods, I mean no matter what we have tried at this bakery we have not been disappointed. The only time we were let down is when they had run out of our favorite items (Biscuits and gravy, the apple turnovers). We have had their cinnamon rolls, cookies, donuts, apple turnovers, biscuits & gravy, croissants, etc., you name it we have tried most of them with us still wanting even more. The cost may be a little pricier than typical bakeries, hours a bit different (Due to it being a really local and small business in the best of terms), line being long (Especially right at opening), and only really meant for takeout but this is a place

This bakery did not disappoint! It was AMAZING! Line was out the door, which was a good sign. Several customers told me it was worth the wait, and they were right! Highly recommend the croissants, danish, and cinnamon rolls! Some of the best I’ve had!! Check it out, and don’t worry about how the outside looks. Food is fabulous!!

Decided to try Banana Cherry after seeing a post about local bakeries and was not disappointed. I grabbed so many pastries and cookies for a friends gathering. Was a little sticker shocked at first but after trying the baked goods I totally understood the pricing, I also selected 6 cookies and 5 or so pastries. Will 100% be back for more. Gentlemen working the cashier was super kind and welcoming! You can tell he loves what he does.

Banana Cherry has the BEST biscuits and gravy I have ever had in my life — and I don’t say that lightly! Hands down the best place around. Everything tastes fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. Their pastries are also incredible, and the English sausage roll is absolutely to die for. 🤤 You can tell they put so much care into what they make. The best part? They’re local! 💛 If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re missing out — just make sure you get there early on Fridays because they go FAST!

Tried them for the 1st time today. Owner: black gentleman. Very helpful and polite. Lovely to see such a nice black owner business Selection: chocolate croissant and peach croissant Chocolate: rich dark chocolate flavor, almost ganache in texture. Flaky multi-layered pastry Peach: same amazing flaky texture, not overly sweet. Peach tasted very fresh. Price: almost $20 for 3 pastries? Sorry but that's a little too steep. Won't be stopping by often, but the quality is VERY HIGH
