Rainbow Bakery

I really wanted to like them but after half a dozen visits I'm not impressed. All baked goods (even gluten ones per my roommates view) are incredibly dry and without much flavour. Incredibly expensive (think $4 for a cookie or basic donut) and despite inflation there isn't enough complexity to warrant it.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu

Edit - worst glutening experience I’ve had!! ***PLEASE BE CAREFUL GOING TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT*** Following a disrespectful, though brief, response from whoever responds to the Google reviews directed to my partner, and my own warning to folks with gluten intolerance / celiac in a respectful review being removed from the review page, I have to say: the food was not worth 48 hours of agony.

This was the worst glutening I’ve ever, ever had. The disrespectful interaction with the person in charge of reviews was an unnecessary addition to an unexpectedly miserable experience. My goal is to never put down an establishment, but instead make folks aware to avoid any unnecessary pain! PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION.

Original post - I ordered donuts-to-go online and specified they were gluten free. Based on their protocols in place I figured I would be okay. The donut I had was the only thing that deviated from my typical diet, and I am currently curled up in bed feeling miserable. I later asked my partner to check if the donuts I ate were similar to the (gluten) donuts he ate, and he confirmed that they were. I’m very disappointed. The donut itself was tasty, but nothing is worth feeling this bad for.

I love Rainbow Bakery so it pains me to say but I’ve had a reaction to their GF cupcakes, donuts and cookies now so I won’t risk again. No gloves used to handle items once in the the cases and though the cases are separate; the items are not individually wrapped. Employees told me they cannot guarantee no cross contamination as everything is baked in same small kitchen though they do their best to try.

Had a delicious pumpkin ginger muffin from the separate GF bakery case. Not sure about cross-contamination, but I will say the muffin was much bigger than the tiny GF muffins I typically have a choice of at other places.

Separate GF display with several baked options. Beautiful, delicious food! Try the muffins too!

Very nice staff and environment, but the cookie was gritty. Flavor was good but the texture was hard to overcome.

Super awesome baked goods, and are great with contamination!

Dec 2018 - They are not a dedicated facility, but prep gluten free items in a dedicated area of the kitchen. The oatmeal cream pie is awesome!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great GF donuts and muffins. Highly recommend this place!

I had so much fun stopping in here with my non-GF spouse and friend. I am also avoiding eggs/dairy, so it was awesome to know I could have both vegan and gf. They are cake donuts in texture and I had one with chocolate frosting and sprinkles and a blueberry lemon for later.

Outstanding GF donuts and cupcakes.

Got the GF Strawberry Champagne cake and cupcakes for my birthday last year.. it will now be an annual thing! Amazing flavor! Very aware of GF restrictions, but they also use a lot of vegan aspects, so sometimes I can taste the difference is certain ingredients.

fantastic baked goods. These gluten-free two lights were Heavenly. I could eat these gluten-free cream pies all day long!!

They let me see the kitchen and I am confident they will not give me gluten. That said: THE RASPBERRY DONUT (gf) WAS AWESOME!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Perfectly spiced pumpkin ginger gf muffin was moist and topped with crystallized ginger and almonds. Better go early because they do run out of gf donuts. Several delicious gf options.

Always have the best vegan and gluten free cupcakes...they have mini cupcakes which are excellent for me because that is usually all I want! The flavor selection is great too! Chai Latte, Green Tea, Chocolate Raspberry, Lemon, Chocolate Salted Caramel, Apple Spice, Brown Sugar, and this out of this world beet icing! They have donuts, make specialty cakes, and fill large orders as well. Oh and the shop is super cute retro!

Really good donuts!

The best GF vegan baked goods I have ever had. Tender, moist, and a good selection in a totally separate case from the gluteny goodies.

I am from out of town and found this lovely bakery while here for my cousins graduation. The cookies were just wonderful! They had cupcakes, but I just went for the cookies. And I had no problems after eating them. They are vegan as well, so I was able to avoid having lactose! Stop by this place if you get a chance! Staff was wonderful as well! :) enjoy!
