Staff is knowledgeable but the kitchen is cross contaminated. They usually have very few gluten free options. Good for people who aren’t that strict!

Celiac friendly?

No

They said they prepare their gluten free upcakes in a separate area, and they have their own pans, but they are baked in the same oven. I had the chocolate coconut flavor and it was incredibly moist and delicious! Didn't get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

the cupcake I had was very good. I also had a cookie. I instantly felt sick. I then picked up one of their brochures and read gluten free is "optional ". what does that mean? so I suppose not everything there is gluten free and it's another place you have to ask the grand question "which ones are gluten free."

Good cupcakes but not great. Didn't get sick!!!

They cross contaminate all of their toppings, I spoke to a manager. I had a plain cupcake with no toppings and still had an allergic reaction because the cupcakes were all touching. Disappointing that they wouldn't change such a small thing to make it safe.

Celiac friendly?

No

When I first had their gluten-free cupcakes about a year ago, they were very dry and they hadn't gotten their recipe quite right. But I've been there twice in the last two days and I love them. Super moist. My latest favorites are the GF Coconut Cupcakes, either the Chocolate or Vanilla, which is topped with cream cheese frosting and shredded coconut. But they also have GF Sweet Vanilla and GF Chocolate Velvet. All delicious, in regular or mini. I just wish that they would start having a monthly special that is GF. The GF cupcakes are displayed in a cake pedestal on top of the display case. While I'm extremely sensitive to gluten (I react at less than 20 parts per million), they do make the GF cupcakes in the same kitchen as the gluten cupcakes. Know your tolerance level.

Best GF cupcakes I have had!

GF cupcakes are good. Only three choices though.

Same comment as GF B. A few choices. Was glad the GF cupcakes were kept on a separate display plate.

They bake gf separate, but have little choices available.....Awesome cupcakes....

Had a GF cupcake here. I did realize they are not a dedicated gf bakery and while they try their best to eliminate cross contamination, they cannot guarantee it won’t happen. GF cupcakes were in same case with gluten, which is usually deal breaker for me. I took a chance on one. They were quite tasty, a bit on the sweet side with a lot of frosting and a smidge gummy, but very good. I do have a slight upset tummy after a few hours, so not the best idea, but I knew I was taking a chance. Whoops 😬
