Turano Baking Company

Driver of Van with ILfp# 461331 believes being on his phone in Oak Brook lunchtime traffic is more important! I'm not blaming him for that, I'm a private contractor and I do the same, but not when you have ties to a popular company.

I spent waaay too much time here😋 the quaint designed store & its aromas are hard to walk away from. I went for some sandwich rolls & then I had a shopping bag! Freshly made breads of all kinds and beautifully displayed pastries are so hard to walk away from. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. You must stop in for a visit but beware....even if you weren't hungry when you walk in, y definitely will be once you catch that first whiff of fresh baked bread 🥖🍞

When you think of Chicago food Turano Bread is on top of the list for all your sandwiches great taste always fresh if it isn't Turano it's not Chicago Style

Great bakery filled with delicious baked cookies , Italian deserts and the bread. You'll need a minute to check on all the items. We're in the neighborhood so we are familiar with our favorites. But back when we discovered that the bakery is open we have tried most of the menu. Parking is it's own challenge but worthwhile. Enjoy your self and try out Turano. You will agree it's more than the bread.

The turano bakeshop is excellent I had the Macaroons and the chocolate cake slice both were extra rich smooth and excellent -highly recommended. You can also buy their bread products here. The coffee was (free after $15 purchase) rich and strong.

Staff were really nice. Bread and pastries were very good - overall were a really great spot!

This is based purely on the fact that I found blue plastic baked into the bread. I'd originally bought the bread from Chicago pastry but they get it directly from the Turano Baking Company so I called them directly. The girl who answered the phone put me on hold after I told her what I had found she came back about 10 minutes later after speaking to her supervisor and told me if I was looking for a refund I would have to contact Chicago pastry. I was offended, I told her I was not calling for a refund I was calling because I found plastic in my bread and was worried because my daughter ate it. She said they're going to treat it as a complaint and someone will contact me if I want. Of course I want! I also want to know that it's safe, because my daughter consumed it. She said, well we don't have plastic in our bread. So I told her I can send her a picture. She said I can give it to the person who would be calling me. I was very disappointed. I've had their products for most of my life and this is the first time I've had a problem. And it's really disappointing that they pushed it off on Chicago pastry and acted like it was nothing that I found plastic or even worse that it was an insignificant problem. Horrible customer service Turano, bad on your part. Probably not going to buy their products ever again if this is the way they handle things. Sad and disappointing.

Love your pane Italian loaf bread! Its delicious! 🍞

My go to is one loaf of white bread. The ladies are so nice and friendly, I end up getting a cheese danish too. Big beautiful building. This is where the magic happens.

Turano Bakery is a gem for anyone who loves high-quality baked goods. Their cookies are delicious, affordably priced, and come in a great variety to satisfy any craving. In addition to their sweets, their famous bread is perfect for sandwiches or Italian beef, making it a versatile choice for many meals. The customer service is top-notch, with the manager always providing a warm and welcoming experience. Highly recommended for both sweet treats and savory staples!

My mother-in-law lives in the area and sends us their marzipan almond cookies -- Mezzaluna --as a holiday gift. They are absolutely delicious and even though they get stale in a month, we still can't help ourselves and eat them very very slowly, to the point of eventually having to dip them into coffee..... next time I'm in the area in person I intend to pay them a visit!

I've been passing by the Turano factory's bake shop, and I finally stopped and walked in. I was greeted with the smell of fresh bread and pastries. I got a French roll; they come in one size, loooooong! Ha ha! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try any pastries, as none were plant-based or vegan. The blueberries muffins looked so good.

Wellbwe all know and love Turano bread! I went for almond pastries, and cheese danish. They were sold out of the cheese danish, so I decided to treat myself to carrot cake....only if it had cream cheese frosting. The woman behind the counter assured me it was cream cheese frosting. I get all the way home to Plainfield, take a couple of bites, and realize it's BUTTERCREAM frosting!!!! Not happy... I wasted $ in calories that don't even taste good, and it's too far to take it back and ask for a refund!

Solid Bakery Fresh bread daily Good donuts, cookies, pastries & prices Mary is the best!

When your visiting Chicago make sure to stop by Turano's Bakery for a fresh loaf of olive bread. So delicious! I have tried the old fashioned donuts, Apple strudel and the napoleons. I can't pick a favorite, they are all so tasty!

Lies and empty promises , extremely unorganized and managers have no clue of real talent ,

A frequent stop on our slow Saturday mornings. Their Cornetti and cinnamon rolls are the best I've ever had. Everything they have to offer is great. The place small but feels homie. The staff is friendly and when you become a regular it starts to feel like family.

Love to stop here when I visit my family in Oak Park, Chicago. Traditional Italian baked good that I can't get in San Diego! Get place to stop on the way to the airport!

I love Turano Bakery, the cookies, bread, all their sweets I have ever tried were delicious! The people that work there are so nice and respectful, it is my favorite bakery.

The turano bakeshop is excellent I had the Macaroons and the chocolate cake slice both were extra rich smooth and excellent -highly recommended. You can also buy their bread products here. The coffee was (free after $15 purchase) rich and strong.

This is my new favorite bakery in the West Suburbs. They have high quality pastries and superb fresh bread, as well as great customer service. The staff were patient enough to explain different pastries and what was inside them. I really enjoyed their sun-dried tomato focaccia and lobster tail (with french whipped cream inside). I heard that their cannolis are amazing too. There is also a decent selection of small cookies and cakes, with their bread lined up along the back wall. You can tell this place is a local favorite by the amount of people coming in and out. There are only 2 small standing tables inside, so clearly this is built to be more of a carryout bakery. However, it is still nice to enjoy a quick bite and coffee there either by yourself or with 1 other person. Just keep in mind there are no chairs. Will be coming back here whenever I'm craving some Italian pastries or good bread!

The cookies here are so so good. I have never gone anywhere and bought five pounds of cookies. Four of the pounds I mailed to New Mexico, but I polished off a pound with my family. Pistachio, fig, chocolate, almond, all so fresh and good. Super helpful staff, swing by, you won't be sorry!

This place has gotten sloppy since the pandemic. The staff always looks like they're pissed you came in and now they have to work. Always a bad attitude. Every time I go in there the shelves are bare and God forbid you ask them why. Yes the pastries are good but how the hell can you buy anything when there's nothing there.

Mamma Susi's Bake shop is a great place to stop for all sorts of baked goodness. They ha e whole cakes and cookies by the pound. They are open during the closure, with plenty to choose from.

Back in early February this year, Rosa J. was a professional thrifter, of course on her days off. She made it to the Salvation Army in Oak Park on foot while fighting with that nasty snow, but she noticed "an image of man with a mustache" across the road. At that time she didn't pay much attention to Turano Bakery because she thought that might just be a distribution center. Can someone tell Rosa J. that she was wrong? I found the Yelp business page for Turano Bakery. There's a retail shop open to the public on Roosevelt. I believe the hours on Yelp are slightly off: they are open from 0700 to 1800 (M to F); 0800 to 1700 (Sat.); 0800 to 1400 (Sun.)! I was worried that hubby and I couldn't make it since we came all the way from Albany Park, Chicago to Oak Park by the CTA Blue Line. After we got off at Oak Park station, we proceeded to the exit located on East Ave., and we stayed on East Ave and walked north until we hit Roosevelt. The entire retail shop was rather small; there were two (2) high tables with no chairs if you want to consume your treats onsite. I've visited many bakeries around town, yet I found items I don't normally see at Turano: cranberry pistachio biscotti and baffo (a singular form of "mustache" in Italian, with "baffi" being plural). I picked up these two (2) rare finds, a connoli, and a brownie (hubby spotted it). The tastes were really top-notch. My favorite was the cranberry pistachio biscotti. They were the best companion with a cup of red eye, which was made immediately after I got home via my trusty Keurig. Hubby, on the other hand, enjoyed his brownie. The brownie appeared to be much flatter and "tile-like," instead of being made like a usual "spongy" cubic. Their brownies were "nutty," with a plenty of peanuts in every bite. However, if you don't like nuts or are allergic to them, this kind of brownies might not be your cup of tea. I would have rendered five (5) stars with no doubt for the qualities of bakery items, but I wish there was a cafe dining room so that I could enjoy them while they were fresh. There weren't many benches along Roosevelt in Oak Park. Otherwise, "having a picnic" on the street would be a fun thing to do during the summer time here.

Delicious! Cant believe it was my first time there. They carry a variety of cookies & pastries. Cannoli cake & others. Party platters available, require 48hrs notice. Definitely coming back!

It's my 300th Yelp review so I celebrated with a raspberry roll at Mamma Susi's bakery!! Oh my gosh. What a treat! I've been here a few times over the years and it is always sooooo hard not to buy too much. My kids love the donuts and sweet rolls. I get kolasky and Italian breads for my husband. There are also fresh cookies, cakes and croissants! The staff members are perhaps the NICEST and most enthusiastic bakery shop workers on the planet. So sweet and attentive!! The shop is spotless. There are high-top tables where you can relax and enjoy a pastry. Free street parking. Never crowded. This place is awesome!!

An entire apple strudel, a half pound of cookies, two lobster tails, and a loaf of pumpernickel raisin walnut bread. All for $26. That alone is enough for me to make a regular. Though I can't speak to the quality or taste of the cookies or strudel as they were gifts, the pumpernickel bread has grown to be a family favorite for it's full flavor. Their lobster tails are crunchy and flakey, with a subtley sweet cream filling. I don't enjoy a cloyinging sweet dessert so it was right up my alley. Along with pies and strudels, they also offer a variety of breads, from French to focaccia, and dessert like cannoli, eclairs, and many different cookies. I once saw a slice of cheesecake with the most picturesque strawberry placed delicately at the top of it, I still regret not buying myself a piece. Maybe next time.

Turano is a great place to work if you want to make money it is very important you don't get supervisors mad at you because in my opinion the company runs on internal conflicts and vendettas if you are white expect prejudice I lived it for 2 years over there but if you want to make money just be quiet don't talk to anyone and do your job

While the Turano Mamma Susi Bakeshop doesn't have a huge selection, what they do have is high quality and reasonably priced. I find the best times are before the Valentines, St Patricks, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays. The unique cookies and cakes are fantastic. Just be sure you order the Easter Lamb or Thanksgiving Turkey a week or more in advance as they have cutoff dates. A recent taste of the turkey cake was great. Rich cake with a nice filling and covered by marzipan and sugar sheets and molded or colored. If I had to choose just one pastry I'd get the rich fudge frosted eclair. Some people need to eat 1/2 at a sitting but I go for the entire thing. So good. And the eclairs will surely last a few days in the refrigerator so get a few of them. The bread case is always full of the freshest breads. Most just different shapes of the traditional bread but there are a few unique breads available. I've seldom bought a loaf of bread as my focus is on the cakes and pastries. There is also a "day old" rack and the cheap stuff there has always been great. There was a fire in the truck repair building across the street recently (November 2014 - see photos below) but the bakery was undamaged and opened the next day on time.

I got a special hook up for bread for my holiday party from Turano. Awesome is an understatement. The 4 inch french bread was so fresh and good! The mini crossaints were a huge hit! Hope I can use this resource again -

I ended up going here because Oak Park bakery wasn't open. I'm so glad I did because this little shop is so charming. They have such an enormous variety of bakery items in addition to their delicious bread. Everyone at my office always loves it when I bring in treats from Turano. They have unique items that you don't find everywhere and they are unbelievably reasonably priced. I highly recommend it if you haven't stopped by. I can always find street parking out front. I've never been disappointed.

Never again (Rita) makes me never want to be back in this place never again first time here walked in and first thing came from her mouth was do you know what you want I was like am not sure 'ok am going to be back' she said 19 min later she comes back when we were on are way out the door first thing she says I had to go up to the third floor she said I was ok so I said I want to had a variety of thing so she added them in a box another customer comes in and in the middle of taking my order she yelled 3 French breads I turned back like wow your not even done with my order the sad part the bakery's nice and clean and have great bread but it won't make me drive to the city to Turano cause of one worker

Just went here yesterday after work. It was phenomenal. Delicious and reasonable. Everything from pastries to cakes. The apple slices were so good. The cannoli cake moist, and flavorful. It goes without saying their breads are top notch. Truly a company that delivers on taste and quality.

If you have any allergies stay away from this bake shop. Stopped in today and inquired about the focaccia bread in regards to any diary, cheese indicating I had a child with severe food allergies. She indicated that today there was cheese that they used in the sauce. She also said that sometimes they don't have cheese in there and somedays they do. I told her this is extremely dangerous for those with food allergies and there is NO labeling for ingredients. She couldn't care less and just said well it's just a little bit!!!! Really!!!! Please put ingredients on your package to keep people safe. Very irresponsible.

I pass by the bakery on Sundays' coming home from church. I noticed the sign with OPEN so I went in. Everything looked delicious but I wasn't impressed with the taste. The cookies was to oily & the apple pie sliced was just OK. I won't go back cause I know it's better out there.

What can I say...........this is the BEST bread for Subs!!! theres something in the flavor of thhis bread that makes the cheese and accompanying cold cuts taste soo much better in Subs. Its like Turano bread is the White Sox (world series champs)and consistently good! and Subway bread is like the Cubs who are more popular, BUT always suck. Shake & bake seal of approval.

The bake shop is as excellent as the breads! Love the frosted sugar cookies, pistachio cookies, and eclairs! The cakes are a favorite for birthdays. I haven't even mentioned the cannolis and tiramisu, worth every calorie :-)

This bakery is not closed, it's been expanded and renamed: http://www.yelp.com/biz/turano-mamma-susi-bakeshop-berwyn#hrid:HwBmxqSS5LCzHnHJLr28mw/src:self

Whether it's seasonal time, party time, or Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Turano's always comes through with great bread. As fresh as fresh can be and at reasonable prices. My mother has been making the trip there for years, I'm surprised her car doesn't just drive there on its own. She insists on their sliced white Pane when she makes 'eggs in purgatory' but I garlic up their breaksticks when company calls. I also like the fact that they have risen with the times with some nice multigrain options too. And it's not just worth the ride for their bread: you gotta see Mama Susi. Yep, hit the bakery! It is authentic Italian, make no mistake; their cannoli is awesome. And free coffee is always standing by with a low cost purchase. So, if you are the designated someone responsible for bread and rolls for one of the big Holiday meals, you sure don't want to drop the ball. Hit Turano's and your celebration will look more like a Norman Rockwell pic!

I have to say this is a very excellent bakery. The best cannoli cookies sweets bread. But most of all there focaccia is to die for. I went to over 20 places for focaccia no one makes focaccia like Turano. I was there last week for focaccia I called the day before and they said come at 1 and it will be ready I came around after one and it wasn't ready then they said come back in half hour and the lady in charge said I am sorry she said they should said in one hour and a half. I said I am sorry I can't come back. She said I am sorry so she gave me many pastries free of charge. No one does think like anymore. Go there you won't be disappointed

While the Turano Co. is mostly known for it's bread, the bakery here offered much more than just bread. The wife and I came here recently, and the service and quality were excellent. We picked up a beyond delicious cherry and apple coffee cake among the bread and rolls we also purchased. There is only street parking, but that really is the only negative. One cool thing they do is offer free coffee to anyone that makes a purchase of $20 or more. I'll definitely come back.

I know them only for their rolls that I've had with many an Italian beef sandwich. Didn't realize they had so many dessert baked goods. Since I dont have a supplier in CA, I can only hope to check out the store the next time Im in town. Good good rolls!

Watched a delivery being made to a grocery store and decided to give this so-called "bread" a second chance to be fair. It was 8:30 a.m. by 1:00 p.m, lunch time . this loaf of bread became a loaf of masonry brick. GOODBYE - and back to Caputo's MANY MANY OTHER NON-PRODUCTION companies they buy from. Thank goodness for having local companies who know how to bake bread and bread products. One smaller store said they got strong-armed into accepting the "other" bread. I don't know what that was about. Best thing is to buy from small real bread manufacturers, Mazzeo, Valenzano, CasaNostra, there are plenty of other real breadmakers.

What a gem! Mamma Susi's is part of the Turano Bread company. I come here for the extra long French bread for Italian beefs but my eyes always wander to the pastries. They have cannoli, cookies, donuts, biscotti and much more. Curious? How about a cookie tray? Yeah, they have those too.

Every neighborhood should have a bakery. These days, most of our bread products come from a factory. Luckily for North Berwyn / South Oak Park, we have a bread factory with it's only bakery store. At Mamma Susi's, the discerning bread buyer has access to fresh factory bread, and also more exotic bakery goods. The bread at Turano is always good, even the mass-produced loaves. The baguette you purchase at Mamma Susi's will cost $1 more than at the supermarket, but be way fresher. Sliced Turano loaves are widely distributed around the Chicago area, and it's nice knowing you can buy their bread right form the factory, before it ever sees the back of a truck or languishes in a grocery chain warehouse. My favorite things are Mamma Sussi's are the Italian cookies. You can put a box of assorted cookies together for cheaper than at any store, and they will taste better. The cannoli are also delicious.

This is an awesome bakery! They have really fresh bread, cookies, and pastries. They make delicious platters for parties and have a website you can order online from for your convenience! They frequently have sales so keep an eye out!

What a wonderful place. Bread....fantastic! Cookies.... fantastic! Cakes.....amazing! Terrific little bakery for a very well known company. Love stopping in.

Loved the smells of the bakery. Some reallly nice workers suggested the best goods for my group

Been coming here for years and now that we live out of state, it's a must stop. Everything is fresh and delicious! Wanted to bring a giant luggage and fill it up with goodies. Wonderful bakery and very affordable!

This place wouldve recieved a 5 if it werent so expensive! I got a lb of the blueberry cheesecake cookies. Those things are amazing! But they cost $10.95/ lb. Also had brownies, which were pretty good. The lowlight of my visit was the strawberry fruit tart. Honestly the damn thing sucks. I wasnt impressed at all. Just no real flavor to it.

Surprisingly quality Italian bakery. The tiramisu had a good taste of rum, the ricotta in the cannoli was fresh and light, the sfogliatelle flaky, and everything else I got (almond cornetto, chocolate eclair, and danishes..hmm, I guess the last two aren't quite Italian) was equally satisfying. Prices were reasonable - each between $1.79-2.99. Free coffee with $5 purchase. There were bread & cookies too, but they were on the pricer side. The bakery is small, with one or two highboys to down your goodies fresh. But it's attached to the larger Turano factory, where you can request a tour. There's also free parking.

Turano is our daily bread provider. After switching to them about a year ago, we could not be happier! Their staff is friendly, professional, and courteous & their delivery team is some of the most dependable in the city. There have been very few hiccups since we have been using them & on the rare occasion one does happen Turano always goes far above & beyond to make it up to us & rectify the issue. We absolutely love our partnership with them & highly recommend!

Yeah. The bread they deliver to restaurants is utilized well. The bread they offer in this little bakery is subpar. They don't have a ton of options, which is surprising, considering the size of the factory that it's attached to, but the quality was the most disappointing part. We bought a loaf of French bread and it was already starting to get hard when we got home. We live less than a mile away. This place seems like an afterthought. It doesn't speak to the quality of their product, which is quite good everywhere else. Unfortunate. I won't be going back.

There are two outstanding cookies. The Amaretto( taste like marzipan in a soft cookie) and the Harvest cookies(nuts and oatmeal chewy). We tried many cookies that were so-so here ,but will always stop for these two! Taste like what Grandma would make thirty years ago! Service is hit or miss. Remember to ask for your free coffee with a 5 dollar purchase. About $ 11.00 a pound so not cheap-just good.

Whenever I need to bring some treats to the office, I always make sure to stop at the Turano bakery. Probably one of best hidden secrets in the near west 'burbs when it comes to baked goodies. Everything is fresh and drool-worthy, from their breads, cookies and pastries to their coffee cakes and pizza bread. Even the coffee is good (not sure what brand they use). It's bit pricier than popping into Jewel, but it's worth it when it comes to taste and freshness.

A colleague of mine found this place on the way to work a couple months ago and they have the absolute best pastries! He got these raspberry pastries (and I don't even like raspberry filled items) that are to die for! They taste like actual raspberries instead of medicine like the raspberry filling I have had in the past. Besides that everything else I have tried is pretty good too. Plus - the prices are very reasonable. I wish I lived by this bakery or at least wish it were on my way home. I just bought the Groupon and we had pastries at work on Friday. :)
