Sweet Natalie's is what we like to call "beyond a bakery." Our gluten free shop also specializes in dairy free and vegan options. We even have some keto and paleo options for special order. The decadent desserts from our retail store are provided by a collective of talented, specialty bakers. When you shop at our store you support multiple small businesses that are women owned!
All of our main bakers prepare their products by hand from scratch in our kitchen or in local, commercial kitchens that are dedicated gluten free. Sweet Natalie's was voted one of the best bakeries in Kane County for 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 (prior to our move to DuPage county). In 2019, we also won the Daily Herald's Readers' Choice Top Pick for Best Bakery!

I was trying to give this place a second and third chance. But a year ago, I ordered my daughter a vegan birthday cake. The day I picked it up, i was EXTREMELY underwhelmed by the presentation but had no one option since I did not have a backup plan. I was charged $15 for a cardboard cutout of the "toy" that was supposed to be on the cake. I called back to ask about this and was told "that is all I could find" I would have MUCH rather bought it myself or else not been charged $15 for a piece of paper. I was given a store credit of $15 but no apology. ADDIONTALLY, the cake the THE WORST cake I have

I was so excited about the sweet customer service Sweet Natalie’s provided this afternoon! Thank you for having extra cakes on hand for customers like me who needed last minute desserts and a birthday cake! Not to mention the offerings here blew me away so many GF and vegan pasta and dessert choices!!!

This is a wonderful and very welcoming small business! The owner is very cheerful and funny and if no one is around you can have a very nice conversation with her. The apple slices are very delicious and well made, and I am always satisfied with anything I buy from her. I completely recommend going here at least once!

Nicole the owner is hands on. Her, her family and staff know what it's like to want and need gluten free options.
We drove 35 mins to Baby Doll Bakery and it was worth the trip!! My husband and I loved everything. They sell GF shelf stable, frozen foods and in house made delicious bakery items. Sooo good!! We will return

I have been on the hunt for a gluten free baguette and had seen that Sweet Nicole's or Baby doll or whatever the name is, had them for sale. I went in, was told by the woman there that I would love the crunchy baguette, as it had many great reviews and that it wasn't made that often. I can see why. I warmed it per the instructions on the label. After 5 minutes in a 350 oven and all I had was a crumbly piece of bread. When I went to grab it from the oven, it crumbled all over the place. Once my oven cooled, I cleaned it and threw it away. I will never stray from Sweet Ali's bakery

If I could give it a -0 I would. I am just able to write this review because of my honeymoon. I ordered a mini wedding cake for my wedding. My wedding was a month ago, and I ordered it maybe a month or so before. I spent almost 60 bucks for the driest, overly dyed, ugly cake. I gave this woman a picture, I spoke to her about the description and color and it still came out horrid. When we picked it up I immediately said that's not what I wanted. My wedding was the NEXT day so....it was not the ugliest but I said it's fine, I will take it. My mother even wanted to buy some baked goods from

My husband and boys decided to surprise me for my birthday and Valentine's Day with the cupcakes from Sweet Natalie's. I've had to go gluten and dairy free due to inflammatory bowel disease, but luckily I was able to enjoy these gluten and dairy free cupcakes...they were great. Looking forward to taking a trip myself to grab some of the other goodies!

I brought my parents here on a whim. My mother is GF and I've been a vegan for years. The selection is super limited and it's definitely a one-woman show. Cute.
The prices are very expensive. That's the first. I think she's riding the health train and doubling the prices 'just because'. Second, I didn't think the taste warranted the price.
The good news is my mom said the bread is light and wafer-like. Nice! However it has eggs and dairy in it but it's GF? Lol....?
It was worth trying but not worth coming back.

I'm so excited that Sweet Natalie's is now in Wheaton. Much closer to where I work and live. Their new shop is adorable! They have some new products and old favorites too. I'm so excited to be able to get frozen, gluten free meals from DaLucianos there as well. The cupcake flavors are way better than what I can get at any grocery store that sells gluten free cupcakes. They have mini and regular size cupcakes which is so nice. The brownies and cookies are also gigantic and delicious. Generous servings which you don't often find in gluten free goodies. They have so many dairy

I'm obsessed with this bakery! Me and my family are dairy free so it's super awesome we have options are far as baked goods are concerned. I was so sad to see they moved from their Geneva location, but I will happily make the drive to Wheaton.
Their lavender lemon, and pomegranate cupcakes are my personal faves!
Reading some of these negative reviews makes me sad. I have frequented Sweet Natalie's several times, and each time I have received nothing but excellence customer service. One time in particular I was stuck in traffic, and knew I wasn't going to get to the bakery
