What a great little bakery! It’s entirely GF, and they also have options for sugar-free, nut-free, and dairy-free. So many amazing options — go early in the day to get the best selection. I had the snickers bars once and they were amazing. The cinnamon rolls are good, as are the cheesecakes and various bars. It’s so good that my son (not GF) begs to go to this place whenever we’re in town!

I visited this bakery for the second time today. The selection is great and the quality of the gluten-free goods is fantastic! I'm hoping they’ll offer a couple of baking classes in the future.

Oh my, this bakery is phenomenal! I would never guess their items are gluten free! No reaction at all, and the taste is out of this world! If you are in the area as I was, you must stop here and buy as much as you can! I would make a special trip back just for their pastries!

My husband and I were there yesterday and ordered the keto pumpkin cheesecake. It was delicious but did have that cooling effect of erythritol. Today we went back and I purchased the keto brownie which were the same ones in the window yesterday so first of all, they were not fresh. They were very dry and all we could taste was the strong after effect of the erythritol-no chocolate flavor or richness at all. My husband did not even finish his which is extremely unusual. Today there are so many keto sweeteners that it is easy to combine a couple different ones to minimize that strong cooling effect so that it is not noticeable. I do lots of keto baking and so am familiar with how wonderful things can taste. Sorry, but we were very disappointed. Service was kind and friendly.

I highly recommend Eye Candy Bake Shop. Lorena is an amazing baker and her flavors are extraordinary. The best Horchata and Lemon cookies I’ve ever tasted. Her presentation is beautiful too! There is nothing I’ve tried here that isn’t delicious.
