Got the chocolate caramel tart. Flavor was good, but I can’t get over the fact that it was $12. Definitely not $12 good. I ate half when we got it and half the next night. Seems like the place is more for the social atmosphere, so if you’re into that then you’ll like it.

safety was alright.

my brother and i had the chocolate mousse tart and it wasn’t too good. More frosting than tart, both were really sweet. It’s definitely on the expensive side too, 12 bucks before tax.

Honestly, you’re better off going somewhere else

They didn’t have any GF pastries left when we arrived. But the sorbetto was amazing!

Have a few gluten free options but not celiac safe due to cross contamination and the two gluten free options that they had were in the same case as the other non gf items

Have a couple GF options and placed on top shelf so less contamination rosk to the glutenous desserts below. I got a lemon meringue tart, chocolate mousse tart and coconut macaroon. Tarts were good and fell of flavor but the shell was uber thick and hard as a dang rock. Mostly just scooped out filling- still tasty!

Had the GF Macaroons and the lemon sorbet and they both are delicious! Went back for the macaroon again and it had just sold out so next time I ordered online. I love sweets and being GF, DF, seed and nut free it’s hard for me to find places that I can get a good dessert at but this place nailed it!🫶🏻

Was excited to try and the kitchen staff informed me that the sorbetto and all gluten free deserts are cross contaminated and nothing is celiac safe. Sad :(

Fun cocktails made from their sorbettos. The pina colada was super sweet so more like a dessert. They had gf chocolate tart as an option, although I did not get it so did not inquire more about procedures. The gf tart did share a shelf with gluten containing desserts but had top shelf and space between so worth knowing more

Yummy Cranberry Paana Coita I'm glad that was the only GF item they had available at the time because I would likely have bought too much. Watch the online ordering to see what they have available at the time.

Amazing dessert bar. Great atmosphere. Had a gluten free lemon cake option and lots of other dessert options for gluten eaters. My husband had the carrot cake (gluten) and he said it was the best cake he’s had.

Wine bar with pastries and coffee! Omg, such a gem. We got macaroons, chocolate tart, raspberry tart and bourbon squares. Soooo good! Great for a late night stop after dinner or an afternoon place to chill and people watch, lol.

No no no this place is not safe for me. No dedicated cook space and lots of cross contamination. No real precautions taken

The raspberry torte was to die for. Coupled with a hot toddy, and it’s heaven. They have a really good selection of GF baked goods and staff is knowledgeable.
