This was so-so for me. Wanted to love it. Everyone was very kind though and as I expected from the other reviews that options might be very limited/sold out. Found the items to be a bit drier and more subtle flavored than I like. Not sure if that’s a style style choice or just a bad batch? The maple dinner rolls where very tasty and I plan to warm and butter the remaining ones to make them less dry. Overall underwhelmed but would check in again if I’m in the area perhaps a different selection might hit my fancy. Definite wouldn’t get a coffee again though as I didn’t realize it’s basically keurig style which isn’t my favorite.

Super sweet owner and great prices. The bread was the best we have had in a long time! The pastries were very limited. We will go back for more bread for sure!!

I ordered the lobster roll, which was a treat to know that it was gluten and dairy free and safe. I also ordered a vanilla and a chocolate Whoopi pie, both of which were delicious. They were not too sweet and it tasted like devils food cake. The chocolate chip cookies were nice and chewy. Don’t let the location scare you off. It is not obvious it is a bakery, but she has plenty of selections to get at least one or two things. It was awkward inside since there is no dining inside, but was worth the stop. The owner was very nice. It feels good to support a fledgling business.

Everything here is great. You can get GF and DF lobster rolls, which is a real highlight, especially if you’re just passing through and don’t normally have access to lobster. Owner is super nice and the food is great!

This was the best baked goods I have ever had! I have a gluten allergy and brown rice allergy and the woman was SO kind and had multiple foods to accommodate my needs. I can’t recommend this shop enough. They can even ship to people who aren’t local! Definitely a must try and I feel very safe regarding my allergies.

Stopped by for a snack on the way back home after a trip to NB. No worries about the food. What I purchased (bread, donut, some cookies) all very flavorful.

Dedicated gluten free bakery! Went in here because I heard about their soup offerings and needed a quick GF lunch. The soup was very good (carrot, sweet potato) and the owner was very nice. The dinner roll on the side was not the best. Could be because everything in the bakery is gluten, dairy and soy free (which is remarkable). After lunch I had the vanilla bean Whoopie pie- the filling was very good, the cake was a little dry and crumbly but nice to have whoopie pies again.
