The staff was very nice and everything was so delicious, I live quite far but I’ll definitely be coming back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything here is gf/allergy free! I was able to get literally everything on the menu, which was a nice change. The food was fantastic and I would definitely come back if I lived closer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

a safe haven! I like some of the treats better than others. especially love the dessert breads and donuts!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The choices!!!! Amazing!! Their donuts are die for. We tried all of the different ones. Wish they were in Portland Oregon. Would drive for them. Staff was so helpful and fun too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% GF and vegan bakery, by far the best I’ve ever had. I’m not sure what kind of deal was struck with the GF devil but their cupcakes and doughnuts are straight out of my celiac dreams. I even prefer their frosting to non-vegan stuff

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is gluten free. Great choices for sweets!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is GF and vegan! I avoid oats because my body reacts to them like gluten. They have a list of ingredients and can give you the binder to check the ingredients yourself.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten-free Bakery/ Cafe. Delicious! Will be back soon!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very sweet and filling. Everything is gluten-free.

This place is amazing! GF and nut free everything. Wish there were more locations in the US

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love this bakery but my favorite thing is the donuts - especially the Samoa flavor. It’s fantastic!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dedicated gluten free. The everything bagels were amazing... I bought only two because they were the last two. My non-celiac husband had the lemon bread (not sure what they call it) and coffee cake, which he said were better than any gluten versions he’s ever had. My daughter ordered “the bakery sink”, which was a cup full of a hodgepodge of leftovers. She will probably be eating it for a week. It would be the perfect treat for a starving artist or poor college student with celiac disease... $6.50 for a ton of gf goodies. My freezer is now full of the variety of treats we picked out for later.

Desserts are dry and not good. Uses spelt and some ingredients are not safe for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

No

Super limited selection, not great tasting and I reacted hugely before finding out they use Bob’s Red Mill flour which tests at 19ppm, not good for the super sensitive celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The donuts are so good. I always end up buying way too many things when I go. Everything is gluten free.

Gluten free and vegan bakery. Mini brownies are my favourite

Love the chocolate chip cookies!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Definitely celiac friendly, but for a place with such a good reputation their bakery doesn’t exactly blow me away. Their cupcakes are pretty mediocre and their doughnuts are definitely sub par. It’s also really expensive. The staff are really knowledgeable and attentive though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Definitely worth a visit. Best gf donuts we’ve had and all sorts of yummy goodies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly staff. Had a vanilla glazed donut and coffee. No issues or reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fantastic service, place, and baked goods!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly staff, GF and quality baked goods.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am an extremely sensitive Celiac, and I have never once gotten sick here! Everything is amazing, and it's the only place I eat baked goods that aren't my own! I have never had a problem with Bob Mills flour, but everyone is a little different (based off a previous review). It is a little expensive, but for great gluten free and Celiac safe baking, it's totally worth it!

Tasted great , gluten free

Moist and flavorful gluten free cupcake. Donut was okay. Eclair was tasty.

Celiac friendly?

No

It's heartbreaking to go to an "all gluten free" place and learn that their food isn't actually safe for you to eat. Good thing I specifically asked employees about their ingredients... I learned that they use Bob's Red Mill brand flour for all of their menu items--which is NOT certified gluten free by the GFCO, and contains about 20 ppm (parts per million) per serving of raw ingredients. If I would have listened to the reviews here and the business' claims of gluten free safety, without doing the extra checking myself, I would have gotten very sick. If you are incredibly sensitive and react to anything containing more than 10 ppm (part per million) of gluten, definitely do NOT go here--unless it's to request that they change their ingredients to be legitimately gluten free for people with severe celiac disease :( I wish that everyone would include in their reviews the exact amount (in ppm) of gluten which they are sensitive to. This is not the first time I've been led astray by well-meaning reviewers who are not highly sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The moistest pastries/donuts/bread I've ever had! Everything was delicious and the staff was great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Zero gluten, all vegan. Open 9a-9p or later! I bought too many items! So far I've tried and loved the cookie sandwich and the mint brownie cupcake. So rich and delicious! I also bought a thin mint cookie and a few day-old donuts, which is apparently what they're known for. Their eclair isn't soft, but made with crisp cookies with a creamy filling; good but not what I think of as an eclair. When I'm in the neighborhood, I'll keep them in mind.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Some delicious and some average goodies. We have to eat GF, but vegan isn't a norm for us. Maybe that's why we felt some of the treats were lackluster. The highlights were the lemon eclair, thin mint cookie, and lemon pound cake. I'd skip the donuts and brownie cupcake.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

we ordered cupcakes, scones, donuts, and cookies all of them were great! Everything is Vegan as well. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This bakery is a little slice of heaven for people with food allergies. It features baked goods without gluten or dairy. My favorite thing is the "ice cream" cookie sandwiches made with ginger cookies. The cream is actually their non-dairy frosting. Delightful! I also love the donuts. They taste more like cake, as they're not deep fried. Also, the cinnamon rolls are awesome. This isn't a health food store, so don't expect low calorie options. Just awesome baked goods!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent sweets, always attentive staff, and though a bit expensive I couldn't ask for better.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this place! Anything is good and 100% GF. Been there so many times and never reacted.

I was informed that not only are all of their baked goods gluten free but they are also soy free, which was great for me as I am allergic to both. I had a cinnamon-sugar donut that tasted like lemon but it was moist and didn't crumble like a lot of gf options I've tried. I also tried a plain biscuit and was shocked by how spicy it was. Yes, spicy! I don't know if they gave me the wrong flavor or what but it had chilli flakes in it and I thought I was having an allergic reaction to it at first because I wasn't expecting any heat. I guess if you like spicy biscuits, this could be great, but it wasn't for me. Also, it was a bit pricey. A donut and biscuit cost me $9. Also, they have freshly made gf bread on the weekends.

Doughnuts are bomb!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

THANK GOD THIS PLACE EXISTS!!!! Amazing and delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

tasty, but limited quantities and ridiculous prices

Amazing. My GFGF was very happy that all she can have all their items!

The baked goods are delicious. But for the price you pay, the customer service should be improved. The staff's a bit snotty for my taste.

The donuts are too die for!!! Vegan and gluten free

Read the stars- best GF cupcakes. Ever. The Babycakes app is a must-have.

Had a DELICIOUS pumpkin cupcake with vanilla frosting yesterday. I've been waiting for this location to open for a while and it did not disappoint. A bit pricey, but I'm willing to pay more for quality. Also, you can purchase yesterday's goods at a discount. Now when my husband gets a treat on Larchmont, I can too! Yay!

AMAZING!! Shop is super cute! It’s my favorite thing about NYC!

So many choices and all of them fantastic. A bit expensive but it’s the celeb name. Not much seating but a must for anyone gluten free. Great coffee spots nearby too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The brownie bite was dry and tasted like cardboard, the doughnut wasn't much better. Food tasted like it was a couple days old and dried out. I've been to the one in LA so I know the brownie bites are not supposed to be dry like that. Very disappointed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% safe baked goods!! Donuts still don’t taste like donuts but good none the less

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I've been here a couple of times and I've ordered the biscuits & gravy, summer squash zucchini frittata and their donuts. All were very good. Coffee is great too. The staff is super friendly. This place is a dedicated gluten free and vegan place. I am celiac and I highly recommend it!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love the cute funkiness of this place. Not in love with bean flour based GF treats. But overall, sweet & fun place.

Excellent chocolate chip cookie sandwich :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wow. My daughters (both celiac) loved the donuts so much. Our visit was 3 weeks ago. So I can confirm that everything was 100 % gluten-free. No surprice, because the store has only gluten-free bakery. Very lovely spot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love coming here every time! My daughter loves the doughnuts, cupcakes, and chocolate chip cookies. We visited the one in Orlando. Also a good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had some very nice glutenfree doughnuts and cake! Definitely worth your time and money!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My niece and I made a trip to this little, adorable, gluten-free bakery a priority on our NYC trip and it was sooooo worth it! We tried a little of everything, and the donuts, brownies and more were moist and delicious. The Samoa donut was superb. It’s so nice to be able yo go to a bakery and have choices when you are gluten-free. It was like being a kid in a candy shop. :)

My gf like the donuts here. I’ve tried it too not bad for gluten free

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their donuts are incredibly delicious. We can’t get enough. We’ve tried so many gluten free and dairy free bakeries and this bakery, hands down, makes the best gluten free and dairy free donuts! Highly recommend for people with Celiac disease, such as myself and daughter.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

An amazing gluten free bakery! Very small though so there is not a ton of room to sit but still delicious!

The vegan donuts on weekends are the best!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Erin McKenna’s is a bakery that creates dairy-, egg-, soy-, and gluten-free cakes and cookies. It’s a must visit when you are in town. Everything was AMAZING! Also, right across the street is Irving Farm New York, a tasty little coffee place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely DELICIOUS A. Dream. Come. True.

Great sweets - so many choices! Not a fan of the icing but the carrot cake was great. Chocolate chip cookie sandwich was great, too, but oh man! A little sweet. I wish they had tiny ones, lol. Staff could be friendlier, but all in all great options and I would visit again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love the selections at this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My son is coeliac, he nearly cried when he ate his first cookies and cream donut. Apple and cranberry loaf outstanding also!

Celiac friendly?

All GF and Vegan. Doughnuts were delicious, much better than regular ones.

Amazing desserts! I have not had a donut in many years and this was worth waiting for!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% gluten free and without a doubt the best gluten free donuts I have ever tasted! A MUST for Celiacs!

Great, cant say enough. Cupcakes great, churros were outstanding!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Can’t say enough good about this place if you are vegan and gluten free! I’ve been here probably 6 or so times and then I’ve also been to the one in Disney Springs the same amount of times.. love the donuts!!! The breads are amazing too, had chocolate raspberry and lemon.. the “bagel” that I had in NYC wasn’t anything like a bagel but it tasted good.. I can’t remember all the items I’ve tried but out of everything go for the donuts! I’ve had the ice cream in Disney Springs and it’s soo good, not sure if NYC has it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sad to say their cupcake recipe needs some tweaking, but their donuts are off the charts amazingly good. I'm not a donut person, but I'd easily turn into one if this shop were closer to me. Their donuts are the best gf baked item I've had thus far. They're now my go to bakery & I highly recommend. Adding due to recent visit: they have pretty good bagels. Donuts still the yum!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

By far my favorite place for gluten free baked goods. Everything is super fresh and yummy, and staff is always pleasant!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great little place all gluten free but doesn’t taste it.

Must visit! Incredible doughnuts,eclairs, cookies,bagels!

Going here is overwhelming—the good kind of overwhelming. The first time I went, I was shocked that I could really eat anything. I personally recommend the donuts. They're ridiculously good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cornbread is amazing! So many options- doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies. Will definitely go back!

Celiac friendly?

Love this place. Would buy from here every day if I could.

Entire store is GF. Cookies were good but nothing special. The donuts, however, were out of this world. Highly recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We came to NYC just for this bakery! 100% Gluten Free and Vegan! Tree Nut Free too. PERFECT for our allergies/celiac disease. We were in heaven here. Cute little shop, friendly staff, awesome music, delicious donuts, brownies, cake, bagels, cookies, etc! Going back for more today!!!

Celiac friendly?

Best gf doughnut I've had. And I've tried many over 7 years

Delicious as always! Love this place so much! What a gem! It's dairy soy and gluten free!

Minus a star for lousy dry, refrigerated cupcake from display case. Chocolate chip cookie, apple cinnamon churro, and maple glazed doughnut excellent and fresh! BetterGF cupcake at Little Cupcake Bakeshop.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

the heaven of the glutenfree. the best bakery of Manhattan, words of my "gluten" friends!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great selection, all as promised. A little on the expensive side but to be expected from such a dedicated kitchen and niche market

Celiac friendly?

Yes

WOWZA! I walked in and although not a large selection of items, still overwhelming of what to get. I finally asked the nice girl behind the counter what the best item was. She told me Samoa Donut! Sold!! As I have been unable to have the staple Girl Scout cookie for years. It was AMAZING!! So soft, full of flavor! Awesome, awesome!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Storefront signs now say "Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC" FYI. Everything is DELICIOUS and clearly labeled!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super fresh, right when they opened in the am. Loved the cinnamon sugar, chocolate covered and sprinkles donuts. Lemon cake was delish and apple churro was yummy- more like a donut. Was reluctant to try bc did not enjoy treats from Orlando location, but very happy we did!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The carrot cake cupcake is one of my favorites! This bakery is very tiny so don't plan on sitting down but the treats are worth stopping in for.
