Living with a Smile
Located in a small bucolic town in northern Illinois, Sweet Jacquelina is a patisserie focused on hand-crafting pastries, marmalades, and desserts.
We believe in the importance of celebrating, especially the small moments. Celebration takes many forms. It can be a moment of peace in the morning as you sip your coffee and savor a warm croissant, hanging out with your girlfriends on a Tuesday and eating the frosting first on your cupcake, having tea with grandma and biting into a cookie as she tells you a story of when she was young, or slicing into a grande cake on your wedding day.
Sweet Jacquelina is there for all your celebrations.
