Company Description
So many yummy things to try, we can’t pick just one. When people ask us what sells the best we tell them that we are small from scratch bakery and if items don’t fly off the shelf, we don’t sell them!
Review & Rating
Awesome bakery for anyone with dietary restrictions, excellent variety of desserts, pastries, and even savory options like vegan empanadas and pizzas. The Blueberry Cobbler was perfect parts sweet and crumbly, and the Chocolate Chip Coconut and Orange cookie was so rich with the perfect crisp texture. Highly recommended for vegan, celiac, and dairy-free foodies with a sweet tooth.
Thrilled to find a dedicated GF bakery that also had so many dairy-free options, too! Just picked up a few items to try out and freeze but could not resist trying them all. I really enjoyed the challah, the orange almond cake and chocolate tart. My son was very pleased with the sugar cookies. I didn’t care for the sugar cookie or chocolate chip cookie but to each, his own. I liked the lemon cookie. I think I just gained ten pounds. Good thing it is not too close to home or I would balloon up...but I will definitely stop by when I go into the city.
Small inside prices are a bit high but totally worth it to have gluten free desserts taste this good.
Highly recommend!!! This place made me a gorgeous cake for a baby shower. Tiny baby shoes on top. Customer service was easy, pleasant and fast! I would highly recommend this place and looking forward to going back ♥️ worth the price so spend the money!
We called to ask a few questions about getting a cake for my daughters birthday from a bakery for the first time as she's outgrown a few allergies. The woman that answered the phone wouldn't even listen to the question cutting off my wife telling her to order via website. When she said that she had a couple of questions she was cut off and told to email any questions. And then she hung up. Wow. Thanks for taking what would have been a nice experience and ending it with incredibly rude attitude. We'll be telling people about it every chance we get.
These folks have somehow managed to create a gluten-free bagel that actually tastes like a bagel! I’m so impressed! Plus they were fresh out of the oven 😍
3.5 stars rounded up because I want there to be more gluten free places around! I wanted to love this place, but instead just liked it. My partner got the quiche and tiramisu and was thrilled. I got a piece of dairy free pizza that was totally delicious, but the crust was so hard I could barely bite into it. I also got a cupcake that was tasty, but a bit on the crumbly side. I'll definitely try more stuff and report back. I'm super glad they exist.
WOW. Completely blown away by this little bakery. Not only gluten free but most EVERYTHING is dairy free as well! I haven’t had such an amazing selection to choose from ever while being on my limited diet. I was also blown away by the insanely reasonable prices, which is such a surprise coming from the west coast. These kinds of options are still up and coming where I’m from and come with HUGE price tags. Everything looked incredible and we happened in on the last day of the lemon curd tarts—probably one of the best treats I’ve had since being gluten and dairy free. The texture of the chocolate chip walnut cookie was so good and I can’t wait to sample the other treats we stocked up on to take with us. The owner was very sweet and took the time to point out all my options. Wish we could transplant this little stop to my hometown.
I didn’t know this was a gluten free place and I have a very basic palate. The owner seemed busy but she knew where everything was. I just didn’t like how everything vanilla had some lemon taste to it or how the vanilla ice cream sandwiches all have some sort of nut. The cupcake wasn’t that good and was cold, but I think it may be because I’m not used to gluten free desserts? ♀️It’s just not for me.
Best gluten free bakery in the area! Cupcakes are my favorite, light and fluffy and not gross rich/sweet like so many other places. I think pretty much all of their sweets are good. The only thing I can't recommend is chicken pot pies (although the crust was good!) I think that is just because they are a bakery, not a restaurant, but I guess it's nice to at least have other options!
