Doughnuts are dry and crumbly. The guy who sold then to us actually warned us they were no good. I felt confident they were safe, but I won't be back for more.

We tried 4 GF donuts. Two of them were fairly dry and hard as other reviews have stated. The other two we tried, a vanilla base with churro topping, and a chocolate base with caramel topping were very moist and delicious. Not sure what happened as it was the same base, maybe they were just slightly over cooked. The breakfast tacos were amazing. Tried chorizo and bacon on corn tortillas with a super tasty spicy salsa. Also tried the iced vanilla latte. INCREDIBLE. My husband, a self proclaimed coffee snob, stated this was on par with some of his favorites. Probably the highlight of our experience. The lady helping us was super helpful and knowledgeable on what we could have and seemed well trained on cross contamination. We felt very safe eating here. Overall, good donuts, better tacos, amazing coffee, even better customer service. We will be back!

Ate a gf donut this morning and it was delicious. Al my family, kids and adults, loved it also. So thankful to have a donut. They prepared it separately and in it's own box.

I appreciate the safety factor and the attempt to provide gf donuts but these just do not taste good. I would not recommend. They are very dry, hard and cold. The sauce on top is delish but the actual donut leaves a lot to be desired.

Love this place, every morning I’m on vacation I visit. The gluten free doughnuts are more cake like than the croissant style doughnuts they make with gluten. But the coffee is great (probably because it comes in an old school diner style mug). I am not a huge chocolate person normally, but getting a chocolate gf donut with your choice of topping (I usually get turtle style - choc sauce, caramel sauce, chopped pecans) and it pairs wonderfully with coffee. The vanilla gf cupcakes are good (I’ve had glazed, strawberry shortcake, Creamsicle, and lemonade) and lighter on taste, but just don’t pair as well with the coffee, IMO. So I recommend a cup of coffee (in a mug) and a chocolate gf doughnut with your choice of toppings.

No problems on allergy. I’m celiac and have eaten hear dozens of times and never gotten sick.

Great place for a family of gf and gluten eaters because both can be happy.

I ordered a vanilla GF donut with a French toast topping. The resulting donut was a small cake donut in a box with a liquid syrup poured over. It reminded me of brand of frozen donut I have purchased in the past. Nothing like the donuts pictured in the case that are NOT GF. The donut was not especially fresh, & very dense. It was so hard, the plastic fork would hardly go through. My husband’s regular donut, he said, was great & very large.

Service was friendly and helpful. Let me know they make donuts in a different area. They can use any of the glazes and some of the toppings. Not the best gluten free donut I have had but good enough and nice To have flavor options and definitely nice to have informed staff. Great place.

Best gluten free donuts with the ability to choose topping and they make them in the back in a safe environment. I wife and sister in law both have celiac and these they never have gotten sick. Highly recommend

Delicious GF donuts and fun for my daughter to design her own (they have 2 base flavors and you chose toppings). Their gluten donuts were delicious too. Unsure if safe for someone who is sensitive.

I love this place. It had been years since I’d had a donut & they’re wonderful. They are careful about allergies & most staff are knowledgeable, for sure the owner & her family are.

Some of the best GF doughnuts available! So many options. You can get a chocolate or vanilla GF cake doughnut with almost every topping available for the non-GF. Just cant be the filled type. Any negative review must be very new to eating GF. Owners daughter has celiac and they were very attentive. GF Tacos and sandwich's were amazing. Have never seen more options for GF at a doughnut shop.

The flavors are good, but the donut itself is very dense. One day it was very undercooked, the next day it was over cooked. Not somewhere I would go to regularly or go out of my way to go to.

By far THE WORST DOUGHNUTS I’VE EVER EATEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Like biting into a month old petrified kitchen sponge. This company should be embarrassed.
