Seriously SO good!! They made my birthday cake and 1.) It was truly the best cake I've ever had and 2.) I didn't get sick after!! They make GF cakes on demand but they don't have any for pickup. They do have macaroons and GF cookies always available, plus ice cream and coffee. They also have vegan AND GF options!

This place is amazing! My favorite is the Matilda cake, but all of their gf macarons are good!

They made our wedding cake (gf chocolate decorated with with lavender macarons) and it turned out fantastic!!

They also have vegan cake as well

EDIT: I spoke with the owner and she was incredibly nice and apologetic. She assured me she will be re-training everyone on cross contamination. I want to preface this by saying that this should be a 5 star review. I used to come in here at least once a week since I started working a block away, but, a month ago I had such a severe reaction that I had to go to the ER -which has never happened to me before. I know 100% it was from the cake I received because it was the only food I ate that day that wasn't from home. Hopefully it was from someone new in the kitchen and they have since been educated correctly, but as for now, I won't be returning.

The pumpkin chocolate chip cake was AMAZING, gluten free and vegan! The cake had a wonderful texture, it tasted like it was full of gluten, butter and eggs! Can't wait to try their other flavors

Wow! The BEST macarons that I have ever had and being a celiac, that’s a lot of macarons. The have a separate case for the gf items. What a beautiful shop, I am going back again tomorrow! Try the creme brûlée macaron, it is a mind-blower - so good!
