The blueberry muffin is good! I’ve tried several different items from this bakery. They’re all good, but pretty sweet. The donuts are kinda dense but moist so better than most places. I do like the blueberry muffin the best out of anything I’ve had here, though it’s also pretty sweet with crystallized sugar on top. Overall a good place for an occasional treat!

I wouldn’t go out of my way for these baked goods, but would definitely go if I was in the area. Not a huge selection to choose from.

Cute little GF-dedicated bakery with DF and vegan options. I got the donuts, muffin and a slice of chocolate loaf. All were yum- especially the strawberry and cream donut they had that day. Very good!

We stopped in on a rainy Saturday and ordered a variety of items to go. I was disappointed that they only sold sweet baked goods and didn’t have much variety—mostly loafs, muffins, and donuts that were all essentially cake.

I found all the items to be disappointing. The chocolate rose donut was overly rose flavored, and had the consistency of cake. The other people in my party found the corn berry muffin, lemon poppy bread, and chocolate chip cookie to be equally unappealing.

Everything is gluten free and the servers are very nice. But the selection is small, and a lot of the things we tried were sort of dry and missing the richness of good pastries. The biscotti in particular were disappointing, it seemed it was their day old bread that they retoasted, and it was kind of burned. The donuts were delicious, although a bit overpriced.

Very disappointed, we rushed from airport to get there before they close at 1. It is Wednesday and website says closed on M&Tue. Got there in time and person came to door and said today is prep day, we are closed. Hungry and upset, I asked if they had anything, no. She said they posted their new hours on all the major sites. This one and their own still had old hours. Will not be coming back

Everything here is gluten free! It was my birthday and my partner wanted to take me to breakfast some place where I wouldn't have to ask a bunch of questions and then leave hoping that in 20 minutes I was near a bathroom just in case. Saltwater Bakery is completely gluten free and has the cutest little donuts! While this isn't a breakfast place where you can order bacon and eggs it is a place to get freshly baked fun snacks and a lovely latte. I had their Campfire hot cocoa which you can add an espresso shot to. They also sell macrame art and plant hangers. This was a real treat. On top of how yummy the food was they are just a short walk to the pier (not the beach). We sat and watched the huge waves come in. The smell of saltwater really cinched it for me. Perfect birthday!

A completely gluten free restaurant! They have a wide selection of pastries, including gluten free doughnuts, crumb cake, muffins and scones. All of their coffee drinks are also gluten free. The bread was slightly crumbly when trying to eat it, but overall I was very pleased with the quality of pastries.

100% Gluten free bakery! Tried it for the first time today and loved it. Got a little of everything with the intention of trying it over a few day but most of it was eaten within the hour. Also got a hot cocoa and a campfire latte which was excellent. Only downside is very limited hours, 8-1 Wed through Sun.

This bakery sells delicious pastries! I have tried the pumpkin bread, orange scone and donut with sprinkles, and my non-celiac husband loves the coffee cake. Everything is moist, fluffy and decadent. Their coffee is also organic and top-notch.

A dedicated gluten-free bakery! We had an E3 live latte that was just absolutely delicious. It kind of tasted like a marshmallow, only not so sickly sweet. The pastries I had were pretty good, and everything was very dense and filling. I will definitely stop by again.

Gluten and dairy free. The owner's daughter needs to be guten and dairy free thus the need to open up this bakery! Moist and delicious! It's a limited selection of goods but the owner is hoping to expand once she gets the recipes tasting as good or better than gluten and dairy filled things.
