I'm happy to hear, they are still baking the wonderful treats. Just not at a store front. Maybe Palatine farmers market would be great!

I had the best experience with Sweet C's. She took on a custom cookie order with not a lot of notice and totally knocked it out of the park!! The cookies were a huge hit! Can't wait to order again read more

A cozy little bakery tucked into a one way street in downtown Palatine. They have a small but relaxing interior that seats about 8 to 10 people if you want to order coffee and a muffin. Everything is homemade by the owner so it's very fresh.. I purchased a dozen cookies of various kinds on a Saturday morning. My family liked the pecan shortbread and peanut butter kiss cookies best. I wish they had banana or blueberry breads to stop in and purchase. These can be ordered ahead of time though. I didn't try the coffee but a couple came in for coffee and muffins and I see the coffee drinks are made to order. read more

My other review was taken down because the owner complained. But this bakery is overpriced and not good. Save your money and go to Sweet Ts instead in Arlington Heights. They know how to treat customers there, and their cakes are amazing. The staff is also extremely rude here. read more

I like their coffee. It is a good alternative to the chain coffee places. However, I make my choices based on how a place makes me feel. I don't know why the lady that works there is so somber. I feel bad for her. She must have her reasons. In my opinion, if she was more personaable she'd have more customers. I won't be a regular here, sorry. Also, the cupcake I tried was fairly priced, but quite plain. Believe it or not, with a smile and small talk, I'd return for coffee and plain cupcakes. read more

AMAZING! Celia is a DOLL and her product is fantastic! So much care and quality in the beautiful cookies! I almost don't want to eat one but who am I kidding??? Celia asked me to send her some pics for inspiration, quoted me a price then sent me a link to confirm and pay. So easy and just look at these beautiful cookies! Thanks again, Celia!!! read more

Sweet C's - Frosted Shamrock Sugar Cookies - Cupcakes Near Me

I randomly found this bakery on here (Yelp) looking for cupcakes to bring for a xmas party and I'm so glad I did. I called ahead to order a variety and they said they could frost up fresh cupcakes in the shop if I wanted more than one kind of cupcake. The girl at the front of the shop was super helpful and sweet and I ended up getting a good assortment of cupcakes plus some very pretty decorative cookies on the side. Another cool feature in the bakery was the clear window views into the kitchen as well as a cake decorating area. There's something about the process of a bakery in action that is so inviting. It made me want to order a custom cake. Next time! read more

I recently had a specialty cake from Sweet C's created for a Harry Potter themed baby shower. This was my first time working with Sweet C's, but I guarantee it won't be the last. The cake we received was stunning and was admired by all at the shower. More importantly, it was absolutely delicious! Unlike many cakes you order that are bland or dry, this one was moist and extremely tasty. I also tried several of the specialty cupcakes and can vouch for them, as well. I highly recommend Sweet C's for your next custom cake order, but there's no need to wait for a special event. It's a wonderful place to stop by and get some delicious cupcakes or cookies. UPDATE: Sweet C's is open during the shelter in place directive! It's easy to order online. They will call you for your credit card details. There is easy curbside pickup-up. Just call when you arrive. The pastries and baked goods are as delicious as always. Coffee beverages are excellent, as well. An order from Sweet C's each week has become part of our new routine. We are delighted to support this local, small business and hope you will do the same during these difficult times. Together we can help them weather this storm. read more

After my experience at Sweet C's, I will never go anywhere else for my custom cake needs. Celia created this German chocolate Harley-Davidson masterpiece for my dad's 60th birthday on short notice and it was a hit. Everyone was impressed by the cake & my dad loved it (it's his favorite cake flavor). It turned out exactly as I imagined. I also picked up other assorted cupcakes to supplement the cake and they went fast. Everything was both beautiful and delicious. Thank you, Celia! read more

I stopped by on a sunny Sunday afternoon after searching Yelp for bakeries in the area since I planned to visit a nearby local coffeehouse. Thank you to my Yelp friend Sherwin C. for his lovely review & photos since they motivated me to check out Sweet C's. And I'm glad I did because I've discovered a lovely local spot for cookies! The shop is somewhat small and tucked between two others on Bothwell Street across from the train tracks. The owner greeted me as soon as I walked in. She apologized for the limited selection. I told her not to worry about it, since I saw plenty of viable options. She asked me if I was looking for a gift for someone. Ha ha! That someone is my sweet loving self! ;-p I asked her what she would recommend. She suggested the peanut butter kiss cookies, oatmeal cherry cookies and the brownie. As of late, I haven't been into super rich chocolaty treats so I mentally crossed the brownie off that list. My eyes immediately gravitated toward the toffee shortbread. I asked her how she felt about that one. She said it's good, but she much prefers rich and chocolaty items, hence her suggestion of the brownie. She offered me a freshly baked toffee shortbread that just came out of the oven. And, I was instantly sold. I loved the buttery shortbread mixed with generous pieces of toffee. I shared the cookie (yes, shocking, I know) with my fiance and he enjoyed it as well. I ended up buying two packages of cookies - the toffee shortbread cookies and the oatmeal cherry. The oatmeal cherry tasted great as well. I liked the texture - soft with a bit of chew and crisp. Again, like with the shortbread, you get a generous amount of cherries in your cookies. Total with tax for 12 cookies was $9.69, which isn't bad at all, saying that they are locally made. The owner gave me her card in case I was interested in having her bake some goodies for a special occasion. She also mentioned that Sweet C's is at local farmers markets too, so I made a note to check that out. Overall, I am impressed with these cookies and cannot wait to sample more of their offerings. Next time you're craving some cookies, check out Sweet C's Bakery. Your taste buds won't regret it. read more

If I could give zero stars I would...Sweet C's really dropped the ball on my son's 1st Birthday cake. The birthday cake is a essential piece of a 1 year olds birthday party, so needless to say when I picked up a cake that is not at all what I asked for, and quite frankly looked like garbage, I was extremely disappointed. I could not believe the cake that was given to me. It was a blue cake with 'Happy Birthday Sonny" scribbled across the top of the cake, not centered, not done neatly or nicely. I had ordered the cake about a week and a half in advance; I personally went into the bakery and spoke with the owner. I explained what I wanted...I was to have a 12" round cake with sea blue icing and a dark blue border with "Happy Birthday Sonny" going around the side of the cake, in red...I was very specific when I stated I wanted to writing on the side of the cake, that's because I had a cake topper. I showed the cake topper to the owner, I asked if she wanted me to send her a picture so she could match it, she told me she did not need a picture she would remember... apparently she did not remember, even after I spoke with her face to face for at least 15 minutes about what we were doing. I paid upfront for this cake and a smash cake, and I even purchased some cupcakes when I was in the store placing the order; I spent a good amount of money in this bakery and now I was stuck with this awful cake that was embarrassing to present my guests so how a bakery could present it to a customer is beyond me. So I asked that they fix it. I asked that they scrape the writing off the top and put it around the side and I would just put my cake topper on and it would work, then the owner comes up and proceeded to basically call me a liar and said she never agreed to do this, they couldn't write on the side of the cake anyway because it would fit. What?! I asked them to just scrape the top off then because I did not want writing on the top, they asked me to come back in 30 minutes. 30 minutes later I got a cake that had the writing on the side, in Christmas colors, and not wrapped around the cake like I had originally asked for, but sloppily done on the side after they told me they couldn't do it anyway so I said just take it off the top! Whatever... I thanked them and took my cake because I had a party to throw, it worked once I threw the candle and topper on.... but the added stress and running around was not needed on a special day. I spent a lot of money on the cake, it should have looked A LOT nicer than it did. For a 1st Birthday, c'mon, it can't be the first cake you do!! Very disappointing. The cake I received is NOT what was ordered. If you wrote out the ticket wrong, that is on you. You told me you were going to personally decorate this cake and that sometimes when you're doing a cake your creativity flares and you were exited about doing it. When I came to get the cake I was told someone by the name of Stephanie did the cake. Regardless of what the miscommunication was, the cake received is not the cake that was ordered or paid for and looked like garbage. Any other bakery would put a little more effort into a cake for a ONE YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY. A little more effort to create a nicer looking cake is all it would have taken. You were too worried about hometown fest you shouldn't have taken on more than you can handle. This was not my fault and I was never told I was signing a "contract" you're shady business practices and poor customer service will put you out of business soon enough. read more

Sweet C's is a small gourmet bakery tucked away in Palatine downtown. It's not the biggest nor most appealing shop but it does excel at the most important thing: food. While there may not be a huge selection of items available, each item is presented and prepared well with high quality ingredients. The items themselves aren't category defining but you can easily tell that the recipes tune the flavors in a way where the items aren't too sweet nor too rich and there is a bit of a premium feel to both the taste and texture. Definitely give the cupcakes and chocolate items here a try. read more

Just want to update you on the chocolate cupcake. I called excellent but that is just wrong. It should be moved up to the sinful category. Every bit made you feel like guilty indulgence. Nothing should taste this good. For a chocolatehollic, this is your drug of choice. Just had my birthday cake and what a design. It had almost every logo of where I volunteer read more

So disappointed! This place is a close walk in a cute little spot. Unfortunately that cuteness is halted by the rude and cruel service. Stopped in for a sweet treat and left feeling so awful. We were (for lack of a better word) greeted by a very rude lady that made us feel as we were inconveniencing her just by walking in. She left us sitting at the empty counter while she completed her things. But let me tell you she took her time only to clearly convey her utter disappointed that we only wanted 2 cupcakes. (Which btw were just ok at best- personally I feel jewel cakes are far superior) Doesn't matter how good your cakes are when you leave a sour taste you leave a sour taste - plenty of deserving establishments that would love having customers. Yea we might have to drive, but it's totally worth it to enjoy the adventure "of cupcakes & that's what we'll be doing from now on. Even if they were the best cakes in the world (which is a FAR CRY) that bitter taste forever ruined them. We will never again be her inconvenience. read more

I visited during their grand opening and sampled a variety of cupcakes, bars and cookies. Let me tell you, everything was delicious! It was difficult to pick my favorites but they are... -The brownie will definitely satisfy your chocolate fix if your a chocoholic like me. -The toffee cookie is so buttery and perfect. -The lemon cupcake with blackberry frosting is so unique that it was a flavorful explosion in my mouth. When I saw there was only one cupcake left on display I had to take it! The pecan bars, lemon bars, oatmeal cherry cookie and snicker doodle cookies were favorites of my family and friends. All in all, you will find something that you will love. It's a great addition to downtown Palatine, hopefully you check it. read more

Very nice place. The buttercream frosting has the slight taste and texture of marshmallows. Nice and light. We got 4 cupcakes of various flavors and all were tasty-nice and fresh. Another worthy mention is that the cupcakes were a perfect size. Also, they have Lavazza coffee! My husbands latte and my iced coffee were absolutely delicious! 1 Millions times better than Starbucks and cheaper too! read more

Today was my first time going to Sweet Cs bakery! I got their chocolate raspberry cupcake and it was pretty good! The chocolate cake was moist and the chocolate butter cream was really good! That actually was my favorite part as it was the right amount of chocolateness and not overall sweet like many other icings. It really complimented the cake. The raspberry filling seemed fresh and flavorful. One small complaint was that the filling was slightly too sweet for my liking, but I prefer my sweets to be in the less sweet which is a personal preference. It was not overall sweet. That being said I will definitely be back! I'm eyeing the vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting! Also if you check in you get a free cupcake! read more

I don't have enough words to express how amazing this Bakery is!! I was the Host of a bridal shower and organizing the entire event long distance from CA. I emailed and spoke with Celia on a couple of occasions and simply sent in detailed drawings and explanations for her bakers and decorator to make my Cake vision come to life. I had read wonderful reviews prior to deciding on Sweet C's, but was still incredibly anxious to see and taste the final product. It came out EXACTLY as I depicted in drawing, and the taste was truly the MOST MOIST and DELICIOUS I've ever tasted (and I'm a middle aged woman who's tasted many a cake over my lifetime!) I certainly would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful bakery for any event large or small... I'm sure anything they make will be made with care and deliciousness ! read more

This place just nails it. This is gourmet quality with flavor explosions baked perfectly! My friend and I wanted some sweets to add to our lazy afternoon on a cold winter day. It was an amazing experience I was not expecting. I have been totally disappointed with most bakeries I have tried over the past several years. Most were on the west coast. Being from this area and knowing that the food and sweets are far superior to anything I ate while living on the west coast, I decided to give this place a try. All the while anticipating yet another dry cupcake or another hard cookie. I was so pleasantly surprised at the amazingly perfect moistness and flavors of their cupcakes. Outstanding! The red velvet cupcake was the absolute best I have ever had by far. I mean by a mile! Wow! Just wow. Same for their cookies. Perfect texture and wonderful flavors. Now, here's where I get really excited....They have the best cappuccino I have had in over two years. My last good cup was had in Venice Italy. No joke. I have been searching for a good cappuccino for more than two years! I will be a regular customer for certain. Totally legit! Check this place out. read more
