Sweetness Cookie Company
About This Spot
Step inside Sweetness Cookie Company, and you immediately sense the warmth of a neighborhood bakery that feels less like a storefront and more like a welcoming kitchen where good things happen. Nestled in South Elgin, this cozy corner invites you to slow down and savor moments that blend the casual joy of comfort food with the kind of thoughtful creativity that sparks repeat visits.
The rhythm here is gentle and unhurried, a perfect backdrop for conversations over familiar yet inventive treats. The scent of freshly baked cookies drifts softly through the air, mingling with the sweet creaminess of hand-scooped ice cream and rich coffee brewed on site. It’s that comforting aroma that encourages you to linger, whether you’re grabbing a quiet afternoon indulgence or planning a special gathering.
At Sweetness, the experience is as much about the personal touches as it is the baked delights. The menu feels like a playful exploration of textures and flavors—a chewy, buttery cookie might be stuffed with a whole Oreo or crowned with frosting and cookie dough bites, while macarons offer delicate, gluten-friendly elegance in unexpected flavors like Raspberry Rose or Fruity Pebbles. There’s a handcrafted charm in every bite, made all the more special knowing the team takes care to accommodate your needs, from custom orders for celebrations to thoughtful service that understands the small details mean a lot.
The atmosphere holds a genuine sense of connection, where the pace slows to match the comfort of a cookie shared with friends or the quiet pleasure of a latte brewed with care using locally sourced coffee. It’s a place both kids and adults find a sweet spot, and a local favorite where familiarity breeds fondness.

We used Sweetness Cookie Company to make party favors for our son’s birthday and could not have been happier with the outcome. Vanessa made the process very smooth and easy with great communication, options to choose from, and the cookies being finished when we needed. The cookies were a hit at the party with such a cute design and were delicious as well! Will definitely be using Vanessa and Sweetness Cookies in the future!!

Delicious!! I kept seeing post about this place in my local FB group and decided to try. Their deep dish cookies are absolutely amazing. Nice and chewy, buttery soft crumb. We also got a buckeye stuffed (chocolate and peanut butter) and it was very moist and just the right balance of sweet. The brownie came in a little aluminum tin which was really nice and it’s delicious as well. They also had a variety of ice cream flavors and cute seasonal cake pops (st Patrics and Easter). Their cinnamon rolls were gigantic with a generous amount of icing on top. Each item we got was under $5 which makes it cheaper than places like Crumbl but waaaayyy tastier and supports a small business. We will definitely be back to check out more of their creative cookie flavors and the cinnamon rolls!

After a different baker cancelled on me for my baby shower cookies with only a few weeks notice, I sent an email to some other bakeries in the area to see if anyone could possibly still do a custom order for that date. Vanessa from Sweetness got back to me so quickly, and asked the details of my order to see if she might be able to fit me in even though she was booked through October. She confirmed she could manage it & wanted to make sure I wasn’t left with nothing. We picked up the cookies this morning for our shower and they were BEAUTIFUL (not to mention delicious). Everyone at my shower was so impressed with them each guest took at least one home with them. The cookies were our gender reveal and it ended up being so cute & exactly what I wanted. I would recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone, and I am SO thankful that I happened to reach out to Vanessa in my time of need. Thank you Sweetness Cookie Company!!!

My new go to for my children’s cookies! I had cookies made for my son’s birthday.. they were beautiful and the most delicious cookies! Vanessa was so easy to work with & extremely kind throughout the whole process. To top it off, the young woman working when I went to pick up my cookies offered to bring them out to my car since I was holding my baby. Such great service that means so much to a mom! :)

It’s hard not to visit sweetness every week to try the weeks new flavors! The cookies are well baked and the frosting is amazing. They rarely disappoint which is impressive with how many new flavors they produce. If you have a sweet tooth this place is a must try! But be careful because once you try it, you’ll probably be back!
