Today we’d like to introduce you to Addison LaBonte.
Hi Addison, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Sweet Addison’s started very organically. I’ve been gluten-free and dairy-free for years, and like so many people with dietary restrictions, I was constantly disappointed by the lack of desserts that actually tasted good. I love baking, and what began as making treats for myself and friends quickly turned into something bigger when people kept asking where they could buy them.
I launched Sweet Addison’s with the goal of creating desserts that felt indulgent, nostalgic, and bakery-worthy — just without gluten or dairy. I started small, baking everything myself, learning the business side as I went, and reinvesting every dollar back into growth. Over time, demand grew beyond what I ever imagined, and today, Sweet Addison’s ships nationwide, partners with hotels, corporate clients, and retailers, and operates out of a larger manufacturing facility to keep up with demand.
What’s been most rewarding is building something that solves a real problem for people, helping them feel included and excited about dessert a
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road, and honestly, I don’t think it ever is when you’re building something meaningful. I’ve faced supply chain challenges, production growing pains, and the constant pressure of scaling while maintaining quality. When Sweet Addison’s went viral after launching one of our now best-selling products, it was exciting but also incredibly stressful as we worked to fulfill orders while staying true to our standards.
Another challenge has been educating consumers. Gluten-free and dairy-free desserts still carry a stigma, and breaking that perception takes consistency, transparency, and a lot of confidence in your product. There were many moments where I had to bet on myself, even when the path forward felt uncertain.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Sweet Addison’s is a gluten-free and dairy-free bakery that specializes in cookies, brownies, and innovative dessert flavors that don’t feel “free-from.” We’re known for rich textures, bold flavors, and desserts that taste just as good, if not better, than traditional baked goods.
What truly sets us apart is that we don’t compromise. Everything is developed to be indulgent first, with clean ingredients and dietary needs thoughtfully built in. Many of our customers aren’t even gluten-free or dairy-free; they just love great dessert.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of the trust we’ve built with our community. Sweet Addison’s has grown primarily through word-of-mouth, repeat customers, and genuine connections. We’ve been featured on local and national platforms, collaborate with like-minded brands and influencers, and continue to grow while staying deeply hands-on.
I want readers to know that Sweet Addison’s is about more than dessert — it’s about joy, inclusion, and creating moments that feel special.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
So many of my favorite childhood memories revolve around family, food, and sports. When it comes to baking, I have fond memories of baking chocolate chip cookies every Sunday growing up with my mom. We’d get out the KitchenAid Mixer, find the recipe on the back of the Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip bag, and get to baking. I also spent many days in the kitchen with my grandmother. She cooks and bakes everything from scratch and with so much love. Learning from the two of them cemented my love for baking!
