Bird Bakery

This is the third time I've been to bird bakery and I've waited till now to leave a review. The cross contamination risk is high here. Every time I order a protein box it has had the wrong item in there. So when I asked them to fix it they just scrape it off and put the correct items in the SAME box. I know this because it was chicken salad that they put instead of turkey deli meat. This is 2 times now they have done this. Also, they gave very misleading information on celiac safe vs gluten intolerance safety. I really wish people in the service industry would educate themselves on this because celiac disease deserves to be taken seriously. Will not be returning.

Their gluten-free cupcakes are moist, sweet, and fluffy! Could have more gluten-free treats or cupcake flavors, but the ones they have are awesome. The flour is rice based by the way.

I agree with the review from Allison below. Everyone, including myself has had problems with the order or them backing out at the last minute. I ordered a large GF cake for a retirement and 2 weeks before I called to confirm. They had not put the order in the system. Then when we got the cake it’s consistency was very strange. It tasted good but it was off and everyone remarked on it. I won’t purchase from them again.

The gluten free cupcake tasted dry or maybe old.

Other Characteristics

• Good for takeout

Well, I can not eat much of their product because I react to some amount of gluten in their products.

Limited daily baking variations offered, too few.

I have ordered from them 4 times for birthday and wedding events. There were serious mistakes made in the order every time, including preparing an entire cupcake order for a childrens birthday party that was ordered gluten free, but when my husband asked at pick up to confirm it's gluten free preparation, was told "no, its regular". They then filled a box with the gluten free cupcakes they had on hand, including 2 with peanuts which we can't have either, and not including any of the birthday child's favorite cupcakes because they were not available that day.

I have found on all 4 occasions that their business practices are ridiculously amateurish and unprofessional, impolite and careless. Why do I keep going? Because we have a serious health problems and they are the only game in town for events too large for me to bake for myself.

Anyone interested in doing a gluten free bakery right? You'd have some customers already waiting for you, and I would be thrilled to help with proper set-up of a truly gluten free bakery/kitchen.

Not really a gluten free bakery. Had one option, and that was it.

Only one brownie and one cupcake option for GF and it didn’t taste as good as it was priced

As a person living with Celiac Disease, I was impressed to find a bakery that toted gluten free options. However, after visiting, I found that they're another fad "gluten free" establishment. All of their gluten free items are prepared in the same kitchen as their regular items, and there is a high probability of cross contamination. I was also advised not to eat there if I have a gluten intolerance, BY AN EMPLOYEE. It is such a disappointment to find, that people who actually have an autoimmune disorder are not catered to, but fad follwers are.

GF cupcakes wonderful!!! Had different options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious! Nice birthday treat from coworkers! I work with some thoughtful people! The cupcakes were delicious and I had no problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable and their GF cupcake was delicious unlike most gf cupcakes- will go back after every nursing exam!

I'm a celiac and was reluctant to try their cupcakes when I saw them stored in the case practically touching the regular cupcakes. I went against my better judgment and tried one, and got incredibly sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I wish I didn't even have to give a star ....they go through all the hassle to make gluten free items and store them right next to the items with gluten....really?

Gluten free cupcakes are DELISH! Friendly staff and adorable shop. Have about 4 different gluten free dessert options. My only negative is I wish they offered gf muffins.

I have celiac disease and bird bakery is the place for some awesome gluten free cup cakes. I eat there cup cakes ever week with no worries about CC. Keep in mind I am very very sensitive. Try the fresh strawberry cup cake. It's to die for. Best cup cake place I have ever tried.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF cupcakes are amazing. They also can make certain things GF like a chicken salad where they give you GF crackers on the side. Great atmosphere. Cute decor. If you go at the end of day they could be low on GF cupcakes so you may call before you head over if that's what you are going for.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was very disappointed, at 9 am they had only a non certified oatmeal cookie to offer as "gluten free". The staff actually recommended that I didn't eat it. Then I was told at there would be more selection at 10 am when they were done baking. So I can't comment on the quality of food, only they don't bother to have any ready to eat when they opened their doors in the morning. We left empty handed and went down the street to Ordersup.

I love Bird! Very cute decor and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Best gluten free cupcakes I've ever tasted!

I think I found heaven in a cupcake. The salted caramel in unreal. I might cry!!

Best gluten free cupcakes I've had! They had salted caramel when we went. My son and I both loved them. The flavor was great and they were also moist. Not to mention that this restaurant is absolutely adorable and the ambiance is wonderful. Love this place!

They make fantastic GF custom cakes. And the cupcakes rock too!

Celiac friendly?

No

Awesome gluten free cupcakes! Also, get any sandwich protein style with gluten free crackers!!! Not a dedicated gluten free oven space and display, but cleans utensils and work area.
