Delicious gluten-free cupcakes! They’re always pretty deflated though. Very fun atmosphere!

Got my daughter's birthday cake there along with cupcakes to bring to her class. It was great to give her a normal birthday cupcake treat experience for her birthday.

4 choices of gluten free cupcakes with buttercream icing. My 2 celiac boys were thrilled and thought they were the best cupcakes they’ve had.

I love their cupcakes and their prices! They understand that gluten free cupcakes need to be packaged separately. They also have vegan frosting!!

Love their gluten free cupcakes! Chocolate is my favorite, and vanilla is ok. I'm also dairy free and love that I can get vegan frosting on top of the cupcake.

Super nice and knowledgeable. They also are making my wedding cake for me. If you call ahead they can make a lot of their special cupcakes gluten free.

They had only one GF option, flourless chocolate…which definitely isn’t my favorite. My friends say the gluten flavors are amazing but it’s tough to only have one option. And they are all in the same case so if you are super sensitive, it might not be an option at all. Great if you love chocolate, frosting, and some risk of cross contamination.

Haven't actually gone. But not allergy friendly. I have celiac so I have to check places before I go. From their online menu: "We bake with peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, raw eggs and other food allergens. If you have any sort of food allergy, run away."
