My 12 year old daughter's face lit up when she took her first, ever bite of an eclair. I then tasted it and could not tell that it was gluten free. We then picked out 6 different cupcakes and a cinnamon bun. So happy we found this place.

Make sure to like their FB page! They post when they are making fresh donuts and you need to preorder or they’ll be all gone! SO worth it, I haven’t had a fluffy Boston Cream donut in years!

A doctor that has celiac is the owner and does the baking. A pleasure to talk to. You immediately know that she loves providing tasty gf pastries for people to enjoy. I wish I could give her more stars. I have rated other bakeries 5 stars, but this one is even better. The best that I have eaten.

Several friends suggested this bakery. I actually had some of their cupcakes at a friend's house. But, I was still impressed by all of the other options. Lemon squares are my favorite and my kids love the cake pops.

I have been to GF bakeries all over the country and this is the best that I have ever tasted. There is simply no comparison. When I was told the background, I was blown away. Cinnabon Buns, Eclairs, and their famous Filled Donuts> WOW!!

Excellent baked goods - favorites were the eclairs and cinnamon buns which were EXCEPTIONAL. By far the best cinnamon bun I have every had. Plus so nice to know you are 1000% not going to get sick - that is the best thing of all. Can’t wait to try their donuts and other items. Cupcakes had great flavor and delicious frosting but were a little dry. Great experience overall, can’t wait to go back. One of the best GF bakeries I have been to.

Got 6 different cupcakes, and am not sure if it was the flour used, but they were all just “okay”. Maybe their other baked goods are better, but I’d pass on the cupcakes.

This place is $$$.

Great service.

The donuts I had were DELICIOUS. I had the baked and fried & filled. At $4.50 per donut, it's not exactly an affordable place to buy a dozen donuts...$54!

I also tried a cinnamon roll that was on the dry side, even once warmed up in the microwave at home. Perhaps it was a day old? If so, that's fine, I just think the price should be reduced, which it wasn't (cost $5.50).

My friend brought some cupcakes from here to work. The women were fighting over them. Especially the strawberry. I then went to the bakery myself. OMG. I was in heaven. My favorite thing is a lemon square. These were the best (gf or not) that I have ever had. I found a new favorite cupcake - Baileys. Can't wait to try their filled donuts that everyone is raving about. Will be following on facebook.

Very rude! I called to see if they could make a delivery today or tomorrow to my son at school in Providence and they said no. I didn’t understand if they meant that they didn’t deliver to the area, or if they just weren’t delivering the next 2 days. The gentleman on the ohone snapped back no. My first and last experience with them.

I visited Sans Gluten today wanting to give it a second try because the last time I visited I was disappointed. I ordered three pieces of pastry that came to nearly $15.00. I don’t have a problem paying that price but I expect the pastry to be fresh and not stale. The cinnamon bun, doughnut, and carrot cake muffin were all very dry.

The service was excellent and the owner was so wonderful and welcoming. It was my 1st time there and definitely won't be last. I brought 5 gluten free cupcakes all different flavors and a slice of gluten free coconut cake. It was amazing and my family loved it. Couldn't even tell it was gluten free. I highly recommend this place.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

AMAZING!!! Best desserts I’ve had since going gluten free 6+ years ago. Make sure to like their FB page to see when they have donuts because the Boston Cream donuts were out of this world. Fluffy and rich!!! They have a wide selection, I also got an eclair and a hostess cupcake. 10/10, the food was nearly all gone before I got home but it was well worth the drive!

I am writing as the owner in response to the review on 8/ 24/19. I did respond to Trish and told her that we do have an all sales is final rulebut did tell her that in order for anything to be done she needed to return the cupcakes , so that we could inspect them and she did not. So it appears that she left those important details out of her review. Furthermore, she forgot to state that she threatened the bakery with these nasty reviews if we did not offer her a credit. This is paramount to extortion.

Amazing!! I took my children to Santa's Village and I was amazed that they had so many gluten free treat options for my twin girls. They each had a gingerbread cookie and a chocolate whoopie pie. They each got a sugar cookie for the road. I was impressed because my kids are very picky about what they eat. I had a bite and wanted more. We live in Mass. but will definitely be making a trip to see what other goodies they have.
