Our Story

Baked with intention,
served with warmth.

Nutrition by Martha started as a simple belief: that the best food comes from real ingredients, patient hands, and a deep respect for the traditions that make baking an art form. What began as weekend baking for neighbors has grown into a beloved Waukegan destination where every visit feels like coming home.

We source locally whenever possible, bake in small batches throughout the day, and never cut corners. Our sourdough ferments for 48 hours. Our pastries are folded by hand. Our grocery section features products from Midwest farms and artisans who share our commitment to quality.

Small-Batch Baking Every item made fresh daily in limited quantities
Made with Love Family recipes passed down through generations
Locally Sourced Supporting Midwest farmers and artisans
