Sucrose Bakery

I have celiac disease and felt so safe. the workers pointed out to me what exactly i could have and said it was baked separately and didn’t touch any of the safe surfaces as non gluten free items. i also got stuff for my parents that aren’t celiac and she boxed mine separately which doesn’t seem like a lot but it meant a lot to me. plus the food is amazing!

I have Celiac and this place was a treasured find before catching a flight out of the airport. I had the Whiplash and it was DELICIOUS! I wish I lived closer!

What a gem of a gluten-free place to find! While, the bakery is not 100% gluten-free, there are several gluten-free specific items available to purchase.

In fact, there are more than 10 different gourmet quality gluten-free baked items that they had available for purchase.

We got so excited in enjoying the quality GF baked goods that we simply forgot to take pictures. This is definitely a place to stop back by and purchase some treats or dessert goodies for friends and family!

I think it was the owner who checked us out and said her daughter has Celiac so they are very careful and prepare their GF items in a separate part of the kitchen. So many things to choose from. My Celiac son loved everything he tried!!

I loved every bite of the mocha cookie, zimenrra cookies and chocolate cookie. Unfortunately they don’t have scones. But the cookies were delicious.

Yay! Lots of good cookies right now. A few extra special German Christmas cookies are in production and some happen to be GF! Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars) Thanks for the kind words. We do make scones on occasion. If you ever wanted to order a few we would be happy to do that for you.

Tastes fresh & moist. They do put the GF items mostly on own trays, but today I went in & had GF cookie on tray with other wheat items, so I didn't try that one. My kids & I love this place. I didn't even get out of the parking lot before eating both macaroons I ordered & my daughter ate hers on the way home. Hence, I'm posting a picture of the chocolate mouse cup & 2 chocolate heart cakes as that was all we had left. The mocha cookie with walnuts was perfect for the chocolate fix I needed! OMG!!!

So happy you enjoyed! The mudslide cookie is one of my favorites too!

Just to clarify we never cross-contaminate GF with wheat items, you must have been mistaken. We work very hard to never cross-contaminate through the whole production process. At the retail area we have separate trays, utensils and always use a fresh paper when grabbing with our hands. Our daughter has celiacs and our FOH manager is gluten sensitive so we take it very seriously.

I second the recommendation for Whiplash. Sooo good. My friend brought me some of their goodies and let me know they have a GF counter and dedicated utensils. Will definitely be adding this bakery to my short list!

The owners daughter has celiacs so the staff is very knowledgeable. They even use a separate spatula and tray for serving items! Everyone was very nice. Has a cool dining and sit down area if you are looking for a place to get some work done!

One of my favorite places. Their almond heart cakes are always a winner. Happy they have added scones into the rotation as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It’s great if you’re looking for nicer pastries. Not if you’re looking for your everyday baked goods, cookies, and cupcakes. Also everything is in an open air container.

Great treats! Several options to choose from which is always special when you are looking for gluten free options.

Tons of GF options! I was in heaven!

I love this place! They have a great selection of GF treats. I have celiac and have never had a problem here. Their lattes are delicious as well. Sucrose is super cute, very friendly, and yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow I had many options to choose from. My favorite was a maple pecan tart. Close second was a flourless chocolate tart. Two of the best desserts I've ever eaten, gluten free or not.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really delicious gluten free bakery goodies!!!!

Had the GF Turtle Cheesecake- fantastic!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

In response to Lorinda:

The fact is, we are two pastry chefs who were given the ironic blow of finding out our daughter has celiacs. We take the issue very seriously. We use the utmost precaution by using clean pans, papers, utensils, wash hands, etc. We use quality ingredients to produce not only aesthetically pleasing but also tasty gluten free pastries.

I wouldn't sell anything that I wouldn't feed my own daughter. We have yet to have any negative feedback in regards to cross contamination of any kind (gluten,nut,dairy,etc).

The "gf" stuff is made alongside stiff with regular wgeat flour. When I made the simple comment that that makes this "made with gf ingriedients not gf", he said "it is made without wheat". Then started in on how severe my "allergies are". If you are eating "gf" to follow a trend, I'm sure this place is nice. But if you have celiac sprue, don't waste your time.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have a small amount of GF products but they do taste fresh and good

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Can't wait to go again!
