Carolina Cupcakery

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great variety and excellent taste. Customer service is tops as well.

artificially colored......no one knew if source was gf

Cupcake was light on flavor, it needed more. The frosting was so sweet it was hard to taste anything else. No reaction after eating so seems safe. Everything is labeled. I won’t return for another visit. It was kind of meh.

The staff was super nice (waterside location) and from what I learned from them afterwards is that the main location might be safer. My son (who has both celiacs and a peanut allergy) got a chocolate cupcake and he ate a bit of the icing before having a coughing fit and saying that he felt funny. He's 4 so he still doesn't have the right words for what he's feeling. I don't know if there was some cross contamination in the microwave or whether it was gluten, nuts, or if it was something else but I don't feel safe bringing him back. Luckily he did not have any other reactions but for a 4 year old to refuse a chocolate cupcake something must not be right.

I visited Carolina Cupcakery today and was extremely disappointed. The gluten free lemon cupcake was overpriced, frozen, gummy, way undercooked, with zero lemon flavor. This was their second chance. Both gluten free cupcakes that I’ve tried from this bakery have been terrible. If you want something sweet, get the gluten free chocolate chip Bundt cake at Nothing Bundt Cakes in Virginia Beach.

This place has its own dedicated space for gluten free and vegan options. Their peach pie cupcake is wonderful!
