Cute little bakery. Gluten free kept separate and staff very careful and cautious to avoid cross contamination. I went with the delicious chocolate cupcake with salted caramel frosting. Excellent customer service, knowledgeable staff, and great variety. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful little place! Exceptional cupcake texture and the buttercream is very rich! We got vanilla cupcakes with the cookie dough buttercream frosting and it was very good. They also have a selection of other GF dessert options as well- we got their chocolate covered strawberries and they were delicious!

Only a few gluten free options - pre packaged cookies and brownies, as well as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry cupcakes. Generally the selection of cupcakes and pies looks delicious... and we can only have a small fraction of it, and the boring ones in the most common flavors.

After reading the reviews for this place I had high hopes that the cupcakes would be great unfortunately that was not the case. There were only three gluten free cupcake choices none of which were on display and were kept in the freezer in the back. They also don't really have a gluten free menu its just a sheet of copy paper written in marker. I tried the chocolate and vanilla and neither were good they were both extremely chalky, dense, and frozen. I had no idea that they would be frozen until I bit into them wish the staff would have said something as they were slightly better when they were warm.

The gluten-free option was definitely an afterthought. Don’t know why this place has such highly rated reviews. If you don’t have celiac it’s fantastic, otherwise it sucks. Out of the plethora of cupcakes they have they only have vanilla, chocolate and strawberry for gluten free, that they don’t even have on display because it comes out of the fridge and then they add whatever icing you want. The cupcake itself was disgusting, super chalky and hadn’t dethawed all the way. If you let it thaw out after a while its somewhat better.

I haven't eaten here but I called and spoke to the owner and she said that they do NOT have a designated gluten free space so there is risk for contamination.

Gluten free options but NOT celiac friendly

The icing on these cupcakes is so good! The cupcake itself just tastes like a boxed cake mix cupcake, but I enjoyed getting to come pick out a cupcake and a whipped icing! I watched the waitress change her gloves and go to a clean spot with all new knives, strawberries, etc. I'm very sensitive and had no reaction!

They keep basic vanilla and chocolate cupcakes then add the frosting you choose. It is a great way to offer a variety to people who have Celiac Disease.

It's okay if you're craving a cupcake. They do make one just for you - but it's a frozen vanilla or chocolate that they try to dethaw and then add your choice of icing. I won't go again. Nothing special, and frankly you can get a better and bigger frozen cupcake at the Whole Foods just across the river that is actually certified GF. I didn't get sick this time, but the possibility is always there.

A great little place to hit after the Duck Tour! They have a few GF cupcake options as well as a cookie or two, and chocolate covered fruits. What I liked most was that they make your cupcake for you. Today they had chocolate and lemon gf, so I chose lemon with vanilla frosting. I could've gone chocolate with peanut butter... I loved having a choice! And, it was delicious!! I can't comment on cross contamination or anything, so ask a lot of questions if you are sensitive. I'm pretty sensitive and I was good. Enjoy!
