Miss Chickpea's Cafetal

This place is adorable. They're not dedicated gluten free, but they're very knowledgeable about their ingredients and protocols. The woman at the counter told me many of their café items are made with corn or can be made with corn, but they'll still have to be cooked on a shared grill, so they aren't celiac-safe. The baked goods! Omg. The top shelf of the pastry case is reserved for gluten-free cookies, cakes, and cheesecakes. I tried the giant oreo (two big chocolate cookies sandwiched with butter cream) and the mixed berry mini cheesecake. Both were SO yummy- I didn't think to ask about the cheesecake crust, which turned out to be oats. I didn't get sick but next time I'll be sure to ask if they use gf oats.

Super friendly staff, adorable little spot. I had the turtle cheesecake and it was great. The whole top row of the pastry case is GF.

Not impressed. Would not recommend this place to anyone gluten/dairy free. I don’t understand why this bakery is even listed here. For the cost, I found the quality lacking. And the staff’s hygiene practices - ugh!

This is a new vegan bake shop and I love it. The owner understands celiac disease and takes gluten free food items seriously. While it is not a dedicated gluten free facility I am very sensitive to gluten and have not had a reaction after eating any of the gluten free items. She does gluten free macaroons, cheesecake, cookies, and pies. The cheesecake is soooooooo delicious. And the gluten free Oreo cookie makes me think I’m actually eating an Oreo but way better! Check this place out for sure! I come once a week now it’s so good. It’s at the corner of the retail center between Affordable Dentures and Viva H2O.
