    Chocolate on chocolate
    Lily W.

    I haven't event bitten into the cake yet and they're already receiving a 5 star review. Their pricing is very reasonable, artistic quality is unmatched, and they are the NICEST people ever. I will update on how delicious the cake is and follow it with a picture. Right now... they already have a repeat customer with their service and just the pure aesthetic of the beautiful cake they made for me. Best local bakery in the business!

    Bluey Birthday Cake
    Bailey M.

    I ordered a 10 inch bluey themed cake here for my sons birthday. I liked that they were able to quote me over Facebook messenger and with only a weeks notice. The cake was very reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly when I came to pick it up. I ordered funfetti with vanilla buttercream. It was very sweet and delicious! The whole party seemed to really enjoy the cake. There are so many options here such as cookies, cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries. I definitely can't wait to try some more of their baked goods here!

    Custom cake

    I needed a custom cake made for my friend's themed birthday so I submitted an inquiry on The Sweet Spot's website. They reached out to me within a week or so with a quote - I ended up needing a bigger cake and wanted to change the flavor, and Mary Jo was very accommodating of both requests. The cake was ready to go when I requested it and it looked FANTASTIC!!! My friend absolutely loved it and we all loved the flavor of the vanilla cake and buttercream - a couple guests told me the taste reminded them of pancakes, in a good way. Overall I'm very pleased with this bakery and can't wait to get more custom cakes done by them!

    $36 of crap

    Seriously??? Being new to the immediate area, I was very excited to try this bakery. It was late Friday morning and I was going to go to De Etta's bakery but thought I'd give this place a try. I should've known from three steps in it was going to be a total flop. There was almost zero inventory! I wanted a coffee cake for a guest I was entertaining later that day. However all they had was some decorated cookies, a couple (3) pound cakes and several cupcakes. So I settled for 6 cupcakes, 1 small pound cake and 2 spinach/feta croissants. $36 later I'm back in my car and I broke into the cupcakes...because they "looked" so yummy. Gag gag gag!!! They were stale and hard as a crusty used sponges I bake from scratch and know these had to be nearly a week old!! My bad for not asking, "How old are your goods?!" I grew up going tobudget bakeries for "day-old" goods and I can accept that but I mean c'mon now certainly not $36 good! I'm so surprised they have great reviews...I guess if they're in the made-to-order event cake business they may be good however this is definitely not what I know to be a traditional made fresh daily bread & sweets bakery. I'd drive back to return them however I didn't take a receipt...because I surely didn't expect I'd need one!!! Huge disappointment.

    The Sweet Spot Bakery made a smashcake for my son's first birthday, and what can I say.... they NAILED IT!!!!!! I spoke with Kelsey and told her we were having a baby safari animal theme, and she was so friendly and patient when helping me choose a great design. It not only looked incredible, but it had funfetti cake and sprinkles inside which were DELICIOUS! This was my first time purchasing from this bakery, and I am definitely going to buy more again!!! The best place for amazing, tasty treats!

    If you are looking for a custom cake or yummy bakery treat then your search is over. We had multiple custom birthday cakes made for our daughter and the cakes we received have been perfect. The decorations are amazing and the cake taste great too. The mother and son bakery chefs/owners have been enjoyable to interact with. We have also had the cookies which are the perfect combination of soft and chewy. I look forward to returning and trying more of their large variety of bakery treats.

    Thank- you for making this beautiful cake for my mother's 80th birthday. It was delicious. I would definitely recommend this bakery.

    Beware... the baker clearly does NOT double check for details. I have sent a paragraph describing how I'd like my cake to be customized along with a inspiration photo and the name and age. Confirmed multiple times via message and through phone calls with Chris. Arrived day of pick up. The cake was covered up and ready to go. Luckily I asked for a photo of the cake before I left with the cake....Come to find out there were multiple mistakes made...the age was "7" instead of "1". And I feel like he didn't even fix the number just shaped it differently to make it look like a 1. And the name was misspelled... luckily details were in fondant and it was easy to fix. There were missing beach balls around the cake as well. If Chris was not there to fix the issue I wouldn't even pay a dime for the cake. Overall, cake tasted ok too dry and crumbly. Customer experience did not exceed expectation and the baker clearly needs to have an eye for details. I would not recommend this business and I do not plan to book future events with this baker. Look at pics for yourself before booking with this business.

    Graduation cake
    Sabrina B.

    I'm so grateful to the Chris and Melanie for their design of my daughters graduation cake. They accommodated us on short noticed and designed a beautiful and very tasty cake. Chris is an absolute professional and his heart and spirit are beautiful. I will definitely use this bakery again and will continue to support. If you have an event and need to work with a bakery, I highly suggest The Sweet Spot Bakery. I also ordered cake pops and pretzels. I didn't have any deserts left and I'm still receiving calls on how good the desert table was. Thank you Chris snd Melanie for making my graduation celebration fabulous!!!

    Can't say enough great things about this bakery! I walked in needing a special cake for a special birthday. originally I was going to make a cake at home, but found out late in the planning that I could not bring a home-made cake to the party - it had to be "store bought". But the birthday boy has severe allergies to eggs/nuts. most bakeries cannot accommodate allergies - but this wonderful bakery can - and - it was awesome! the cake was chocolate/chocolate - so delicious/moist and decorated out of this world with choc covered Oreos and pretzels! the staff was kind and so helpful. thank you for making this special birthday so very special!!

    Do they do custom sugar cookies?

    YES!! And beautiful ones at that. Ask for Darlene and she can walk you through whatever you want. They taste great too.

    I've been a longtime fan of Area 51 Cupcakery, so naturally, I trusted them with one of the most…read moreimportant desserts I've ever ordered -- a custom cake for my brother's first-ever surprise 50th birthday party. Two weeks before the event, I came in person with a printed cake design, a clear color theme (green, cream, and white), and a macaron accent order to go with it. I was flexible on the design details, just committed to the vision. On the day of pickup, I arrived a little late -- my fault -- but there was no cake waiting, and my order couldn't be found. Hannah behind the counter did her best, and when owner Robert walked in, I calmly explained everything from the start. I won't lie -- I was heartbroken more than angry. This was a big night. What happened next is why I'm writing this review. Robert and his team didn't hesitate. They snapped a photo of the design from my phone, asked every detail, and promised to make it right -- with Robert personally delivering the cake to the venue (thankfully just 5 minutes away). And he did. He showed up with the cake designer in tow and delivered something truly stunning: a handsome, elegant cake that fit the theme perfectly and genuinely wowed my brother and guests. And the flavor? Their Atomic. Banana (pudding), strawberries (jam), and chocolate, vanilla & banana cake. YUM! It was incredibly moist and delicious. What could have been a devastating hiccup for such a milestone night became one of the most memorable parts of the celebration. That's a testament to Robert and his team's character, dedication, and craft. Thank you, Area 51 Cupcakery. We've loved your cupcakes from day one, and this experience only deepened our loyalty. We'll always come back.

    OBSESSED! Area 51 is veteran and locally owned. There is a location in north Naperville and south…read moreNaperville. They have daily specials that change every month. Yuuuup, I'll be here on a monthly basis. They also have a punch card system. Every 12 cupcakes will get you 1 cupcake for free. The inside is super cool, there are numerous spots for photo ops and they even have a ring light and camera holder if interested in using it. My first time visiting I tried the following cupcakes: chai pumpkin latte (daily special and DANGGGG DELICIOUS), Almond wedding (my least favorite but still good, I think almond cupcakes just aren't for me), cookies and cream (divine, rich, 2nd favorite), and the Boston cream (also 2nd favorite lol). All of the cupcakes were moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. They are made daily and you can feel and taste the love. Area 51 is definitely my favorite cupcake spot of all time. I've gone to Area 51 probably every week since finding em and I can't get enough. They also made cupcakes for my baby's gender reveal. They were extremely accommodating and everything turned out perfect! I highly recommend them for custom cakes, cupcakes, or even just grabbing 1 of their daily made cupcakes. SOOO GOOD!
