Wow. Finding a DF and GF bakery is tough, finding one with good food is nearly impossible. Can’t believe the food tasted as good as it did, we went a little crazy with the ordering because we haven’t had food that great in forever. Ordered the donuts, grilled cheese, veggie pot pie, and breakfast sandwich. All fantastic!

Tandem is great, especially for bread and desserts, but the variety is lacking. I would love to have GF options that are not vegan. Overall, good in a pinch or for birthday treats.

I’ll say all the foods we tried were delicious but we will never return thanks to the tall cashier with glasses and a big beard. Frankly he was one of the rudest employees I’ve ever been served by. If you see him at the register, turn around and walk out before he makes you feel like the biggest burden for existing.

Delicious doughnuts and a buckeye brownie. The owner was incredibly helpful with local tips for us, too, since we were traveling through. Would definitely go back here again! Great coffee shop vibe in a nice, quiet area.

I brought my family here because of all the great reviews. It’s hard to find a dedicated gluten free facility so I was excited to try it. Absolutely possible the worst food we’ve ever eaten! I got the biscuits and gravy and it looked like regurgitated throw up. And the taste wasn’t much better. Sorry, but we will not be back.

100% gluten and vegan free what more could you ask for someone with celiac disease. The donuts were delicious my favorites were the powdered sugar one, chocolate and lemon glaze. I also at the capresse sammi and it was delicious!

Excellent GF hand pies. My son loves their donuts. Recently went for lunch with their new small but delicious lunch menu with several people from my office. Everyone loved it. All food is gluten free and vegan.

Facility is entirely gluten free and vegan! Their sausage-style biscuits and gravy is so good, and their sandwiches are fun!

I haven't tried many of their baked goods yet, but look forward to doing so soon.

This isn't a FODMAP-friendly place due to many of the vegan substitutes, but once you figure out which FODMAPs are bugging you, I think it could be a good place! Staff is extremely knowledgeable about ingredients used and offer great recommendations.

We had the OG breakfast sandwich (great!), biscuits and gravy, blueberry pop tart, cabbage potato hand pie (so good!), and a cinnamon roll (average). The hand pies and pop tarts are made with a buttery, laminated dough that is challenging to make GF. Great food!

I got 2 Pastries. A woopie pie with orange inside and that was amazing. The cake part wasn’t dry or crumbly at all. And a blueberry pop tart. The pastry was so fluffy and good and there was enough filling inside that it wasn’t dry and not too much that it was all filling. Also got some focaccia bread. It is dense when you first get it. But once you heat it up, it becomes so fluffy and airy. And it taste amazing!!

Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Had the OG Breakfast Sandwich and Biscuits and Gravy and they were both amazing. For sure worth a stop. If you’re traveling and hiking around Montana, stop here for some bread.

Only place in Missoula I trust the baked goods! They label other allergens they use (oat, nut, and soy) too 😊

Popped in during my quick visit to Missoula. SO good! I tried the PB&J pop tart, cinnamon roll, and doughnut. All were tasty, but the pop tart was definitely the highlight for me! My non-GF friend also tried all three & gave them two thumbs up. I loved walking in and being able to order anything off the menu without fear!

We’ve always loved their donuts and special order cakes, so were so excited that they open a cafe. All the baked goods we tried were yummy. Can’t wait to go back to try some of the breakfast or lunch options. They are vegan and totally GF.
