Review


Incredible family-owned bakery with great food! We ordered assorted cupcakes which tasted delicious and were completely indistinguishable (according to my non-celiac family) from normal cupcakes. They were very knowledgeable about ALL allergens, including cross contamination. They even made sure we knew that one ingredient was made in a facility with almonds; I've never been to a restaurant where they actually knew how serious cross-contamination was. I am particularly sensitive to gluten and a dozen cupcakes later I was perfectly fine!

Update: I have been coming here for over a year now. Literally every pastry they bake is delicious. Also, I've learned that the family who owns/operates the place has celiac themselves, which is why they do so well taking the proper precautions. They're all incredibly nice people who take their jobs seriously and make phenomenal food! Celiac or not, you have to check out this bakery.
