Mad Batter Bakery in St. Charles is such a gem. I seriously wish it was closer to me or that they…read morehad more locations. I love the creativity behind each pastry. They are always coming up with fun and unique flavors, and the stuff they post early in the morning is honestly half the reason I check Facebook. The staff were very friendly and gave recommendations on what the most popular flavors were. I always appreciate that in a place. The pastries are on the sweeter side for sure, so having a whole one can be a lot, but that is just me. Still totally worth it. The decor inside is so cute too. Definitely gives you Alice in Wonderland vibes with all the little trinkets and tea time touches. Super charming spot. If you are into sweets and fun vibes, it is a must-try.

The turnovers are my absolute favorite followed closely by the salted caramel brownie and cookies and cream cheesecake. Menu items are switched up often with a few staples. Sometimes by the time I can get there the selections are limited. They usually post what they have at the beginning of the day on their instagram and I'm sure people are a lot like me and see how delicious the items look and run in to snatch it up.

The staff was super kind and helped talk me through all the vegan options/help me decide which desserts to go with. It was pretty impossible to leave here with just one thing because everything looks absolutely delicious. I ended up leaving with a vegan peanut butter cookie, df lemon loaf, vegan cherry pop tarts, and a df cinnamon roll. My entire order came out to about $34 but for the taste, I have no problem paying that price! My new favorite bakery and go to for dessert.

The smash cake was just as amazing--our son loved it so much he barely left a crumb and was not happy when we took it away! It was clearly just as delicious as it was adorable. Beyond her baking, Ava was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She made the whole process seamless and was very reasonably priced. We'll absolutely be ordering from her again and can't recommend her enough!

Honestly, I wish I could give them negative numbers because even one star is overrated. I can't speak for their regular menu, but I ordered a surprise bag on the TooGoodToGo app. Maybe I was wrong for assuming it would contain items from the day before, but what I received should not have been given away--let alone sold for any amount. It clearly had been sitting for at least a couple of days. What I received sent a clear message: they don't value their customers. It's profit over people. Why they would serve that crap is beyond my understanding. Honestly, it should have been trashed. It wasn't even palatable. I couldn't tell what the pastries were supposed to be. They were inedible by my standards, but I bit into two different pastries to give them the benefit of the doubt. They weren't just old and stale--they were bland and stingy on the filling. It was obvious they were several days past shelf life and likely not appetizing even when freshly baked. It honestly felt like the cashier just went in the back and threw a handful of old leftovers into a bag. My experience was 4 months ago, I waited and came back here to check out other reviews older and newer before changing mines just in case it was a one off situation. Unfortunately, it seems to be a consistent pattern. Needless to say, I won't be returning.

You can't go in and browse, you have to call and place your order ahead of time. Furthermore, when I went to pick up my order - they had a baby gate blocking off the entrance. People on Facebook have been asking about when they're opening back up like normal, and the comments mysteriously disappear. Unfortunately, I think the decision to operate this way is going to have bad results. Honestly though, I won't go back because this is just so unfriendly to customers. Also, their prices have gone up and I think they're overpriced now. It's sad, because I really did used to love this place. No more business from me. :(
