Owned and operated by Sweets by Kash! We are open every Sunday at 8am with our famous cinnamon rolls until we sell out! Our menu rotates weekly 😉
🍂 IT’S HARVEST MARKET DAY! 🍂
We’re set up and ready for you in Downtown Algonquin! 🎃✨ Come spend this gorgeous fall day with us!
⏰ 10 AM–4 PM TODAY
🎟️ FREE admission
🚗 Parking throughout downtown
🍁 Arts, crafts, shopping, amazing food & all the fall vibes
Bring the family, stroll Main Street, and MOST IMPORTANTLY… come get yourself a cinnamon roll. 😏😂
Remember the shack is closed tomorrow so today is the day!!
See you soon, Algonquin! ❤️🍂
Because apparently “getting ready for tomorrow” in baker language means casually baking 100+ cinnamon rolls while everyone else is sleeping. 😂😵💫
While Algonquin sleeps, the bakery night shift is over here rolling, baking, labeling, stacking… and questioning every life choice that led to this exact moment. 🤣
But LOOK AT ’EM. 👀 This is just a little snippet of what we’ve been working on tonight, and we are MORE than ready for you tomorrow!
🍂 ALGONQUIN HARVEST MARKET
📍 Downtown Algonquin • Main Street
📅 Saturday, October 3
⏰ 10 AM–4 PM
Come find Sweets by Kash and GET. YOUR. CINNAMON. ROLLS. We’ve got over 100 of these beauties headed your way, plus plenty of other goodies.
🚨 REMINDER: The Bake Shack will NOT be open Sunday! So if cinnamon rolls are part of your weekend survival plan, tomorrow is your chance.
We’ll be there bright and early at 10 AM.
Well… you’ll be bright and early.
I’ll just still be awake. 😂☕️💀
SEE YOU TOMORROW, ALGONQUIN! 🍁🥐💕

🚨 IMPORTANT WEEKEND UPDATE: NO BAKE SHACK THIS SUNDAY! 🚨
Don’t come knocking on the shack door Sunday, because nobody’s home. 😂 This weekend, we’re packing up the sweets and heading downtown!
🍂 FIND SWEETS BY KASH AT THE ALGONQUIN HARVEST MARKET! 🍂
📅 Saturday, October 3rd
⏰ 10 AM–4 PM
📍 Downtown Algonquin on Main Street
You’ll find our booth near the corner of Main Street & Algonquin Road, just across the little bridge by Bold American Fare and near the entertainment stage. If you hear the music, you’re getting warmer. 🎶🧁
And we are bringing a FULL fall lineup:
🍥 Traditional Cinnamon Rolls
🎃 Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
🍁 Maple Brown Sugar Cinnamon Rolls
🥜 Pecan Sticky Rolls
🍎 Apple C***r Donut Muffins
🤎 Traditional Oatmeal Cream Pies
🍏 Apple Pie Oatmeal Cream Pies
✨ Plus bottles of our homemade vanilla extract!
As always, everything is made in small batches, and when it’s gone, it’s gone. I cannot make any promises about what that table is going to look like at 3:30 PM, so if you have your heart set on something, COME EARLY. 👀
Bring the family, stroll downtown, shop tons of local crafters and specialty food vendors, enjoy the entertainment, and come celebrate the start of fall with us. 🍁
🍦 AND WHILE YOU’RE DOWNTOWN…
Make sure you stop into Riverbottom Ice Cream Co. and show them some love! We’ll have them stocked with chocolate chip cookies and brownies, so if you need a little extra Sweets by Kash fix while you’re exploring downtown, they’ve got you covered. 🍪🍫
Parking information is available online, and there will also be signage downtown directing you to parking areas.
☀️ The weather is looking BEAUTIFUL, the fall sweets are coming, and we’ll see you SATURDAY at the Algonquin Harvest Market!
And one more time for the people in the back:
🚫 THE RIVER RAT BAKE SHACK WILL NOT BE OPEN SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4TH.
🍂 COME SEE US SATURDAY AT THE MARKET INSTEAD!
POV: the fog showed up for the fall menu drop. 🌫️🍂
The Shack is OPEN + the fall flavors are FALLING. 🤎
River Rat Bake Shack
📍3116 1st St., Algonquin
⏰ Here ‘til we sell out
Come get cozy. 🥐🍁
We’re open until 7:30pm and have FIVE sweets left!!
Two banana pudding cinnamon rolls and three lemon bars plus a few cakepops… that’s it!
So if you’re local to Algonquin Illinois, you can find us at 3116 1st St. down by the river… River Rat Bake Shack!
In true Chicago summer fashion, it has been storming, but I can’t think of a better way to say goodbye to summer than with some rain and ridiculous summer flavored sweets!
The shack is open and we’re here until we sell out which at this rate might be soon 😂
We have banana pudding cinnamon rolls, strawberry shortcake rolls, traditional cinnamon rolls, and lemon bars left at the shack so come on down to the river at 3116 1st Street in Algonquin and grab your breakfast!
☔️ RAIN OR SHINE, THE SHACK IS OPEN THIS SUNDAY! ☔️
This week’s River Rat Bake Shack menu is here! And yes, Mother Nature apparently RSVP’d with rain, but we’re not letting a little soggy weather stand between you and your Sunday sweets.
📍 3116 1st St., Algonquin
⏰ Open Sunday at 8 AM until we sell out!
As always, everything is baked in small batches, which means once it’s gone, IT’S GONE. We definitely recommend coming early if there’s something on this week’s menu you’ve got your eye on. 👀
And if it’s raining? WE’RE STILL OPEN! ☔️ We’ll do our best to make grabbing your goodies as quick and easy as possible so you can get in, get the sweets, and get back to your car without getting absolutely poured on. 😂
Bring an umbrella. Bring an appetite. Maybe bring a designated cinnamon-roll protector.
See you Sunday at 8 AM! 🩷

✨ SAVE THIS POST: YOUR RIVER RAT ROADMAP THROUGH OCTOBER! ✨
We did a thing. 👀 River Rat Bake Shack menus are officially planned all the way through October, which means you can start plotting your Sunday snack attacks accordingly. 😂
☀️ September 20: One Last Taste of Summer
🍂 September 27: Hello Fall!
🎃 Saturday, October 3: Algonquin Harvest Market
🍎 October 11: Apple Orchard Weekend
👻 October 18: A Little Spooky, A Lot Sweet
🚫 October 25: CLOSED
IMPORTANT OCTOBER 3 INFO: The Bake Shack will NOT be open Sunday, October 4, so if you need your cinnamon roll fix that weekend, come find us Saturday, October 3 from 10 AM–4 PM at the FREE Algonquin Harvest Market in Downtown Algonquin on Main Street!
And yes, you can absolutely stock up. 😉 Our cinnamon rolls keep beautifully in the refrigerator for several days and freeze like little cinnamon-swirled champions, so grab a few for later.
After that, we’re back at the Shack October 11 & 18 before taking October 25 off… and then somehow we’re already heading into NOVEMBER. 😳
Swipe through, find the menu you’re most excited about, and tell me which item you’re already calling dibs on! 👇💕
The shack is open on Sundays at 8am until we sell out and we’re located at 3116 1st St in Algonquin!
Fresh baked. Small batch. First come, first served. ❤️
Since you guys basically sold us out before noon, I decided to restock!
So there are fresh cinnamon rolls in the shack, and we still have some cookies left for the afternoon too!
📍 WE’RE OFFICIALLY IN RETAIL! 🥹🎉
For the FIRST TIME, you can find Sweets by Kash cinnamon rolls outside of the River Rat Bake Shack! 🙌
Our cinnamon rolls AND brownies are officially stocked at Riverbottom Ice Cream Co. in Downtown Algonquin today! 🍦🍫
And the timing couldn’t be better because Art on the Fox is happening from 10–5! 🎨☀️ Browse handmade goods from local vendors, soak up this absolutely GORGEOUS weather, then head over for a scoop of ice cream + a cinnamon roll. Because obviously those two belong together. 😂
📍 301 S. Main St., Algonquin, IL 60102
Come spend the day downtown, support local, and help us celebrate our VERY FIRST retail partnership! 🥹
