What a hidden gem in Peoria of all places. The atmosphere is very trendy with the beautiful mural on the wall of the family/owners. The flavors of the gourmet panini sandwiches are fantastic. The bread is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, the meats and sauces are great. Not usually a fan of tomato soup, but our family was fighting for the soup. But even more amazing are the gourmet cupcakes! They are moist and full of flavor, and the flavor combinations are so well balanced. We’ve tried cupcakes from some of the most famous places around Chicago and the East Coast, and Karen’s cupcakes are hands down our family’s favorite.

We discovered this gem when visiting the business across the street. They definitely lived up to their name. Upon entering, the glass case revealed a great variety of cupcakes. We tried 4 flavors and all were delicious. For lunch, we had a turkey sandwich and lasagna. Our friend commented it was the best lasagna he ever had. Please note that the business has daily specials and lasagna is not served every day. The turkey sandwich was also fantastic. We’ll be back!

Had an amazing breakfast today with three insane kids. The bagel sandwich and gravy biscuit were the winners for me. Kids loved the fruit and French toast.

It’d been a while since I’ve been here since moving out of town. Their peach cobbler cupcake is still a win for me. I tried the cherries and berry and the havana for lunch with homeade potato chips and tomato basil soup. All were solidly good and the soup was my favorite! Service was great as always. Always great to see the owners who are just plain awesome!

The Chef and The Baker is a great restaurant, a little gem that I am very happy to have found. Their daily menu is always a great grab for lunch. And finishing off with a cupcake is a great to end a meal.

Worst place to get a meal catered in Peoria. $75 for plastic silvereware, $150 for a fuit plate full of melon. $3.75 per cupcake but if you buy 30 of them $120 for “display” which is a plastic tray. I order catering for my job often and have ordered from almost everywhere in Peoria and a Chef and a Baker is by FAR the worst company that I have worked with. DO NOT recommend
