I was needing a little snack stopped in and grabbed 2 items, donut and coffee cake. Priced about $16 or so with tip. I think they might have been a day old but still pretty good. Not really large enough to eat in, it’s more of a tiny grab and go place.
I made a special trip out to this place with reusable bag in hand (so I could pick up a bunch of sweets to bring home & share). Cute little place and everything looked really great. I couldn’t get past a taste that was in almost everything I ordered (bean paste maybe?). Also, everything was a bit stale, at least a day or two old. My niece & SIL are dairy free and I was excited to bring these home as a thank you gift for watching our fur babies. Despite how pretty everything looked, I didn’t end up giving them. If you go, I hope you have better luck than I did!
Me and my daughter are both gluten intolerant. We wanted to have lunch here while in New York. We were a bit disappointed when we entered, seeing how small it was. We wanted bagels but the guy told us they only serve glutenfree bagels from Wednesday to Sunday....it was Tuesday when we were there 😫
Something that I’ve really struggled to find since developing celiac is donuts, and this bakery perfectly served my need. The donuts were absolutely delicious, and I cant wait to be back and get even more treats. If you have celiac and are missing some classic desserts, this place is worth a stop.
Love it. I come here weekly and get a box to take home although it’s a trip. Staff are always friendly and the lemon slice is great.
Also they said they can make special orders with allergies and other dietary restrictions taken into consideration which is fantastic for birthdays and events
Tried the coffee crunch and Samoa donuts. Both were AMAZING. Moist, not too crumbly, and super tasty. The staff is also super friendly. There isn’t much signage saying that it’s a completely gluten-free bakery, but I asked and they confirmed this is the case. A must try!
There were several bakeries in NY that I was looking forward to trying & I was a little disappointed when we visited here because it was a tiny little dive & not at all what I was expecting but their treats were delicious! Everything in there was dairy & gluten free so we tried a lot. I don’t know if our favorite was the cookie sandwich or the cinnamon crumb cake. We really wanted a cinnamon roll but they were sold out ☹
I never thought I’d be so happy to see a bagel! But now that I can’t eat most of them - that’s exactly what happens! This one was delicious, almost the taste of a scone actually! I had it with a smear of butter after being toasted and it was just lovely! Dedicated gluten free (and other allergens) this place is the cutest place to get cakes, donuts, bagels and cookies!
Finding full gf bakeries is always a treat since there are so few by me. I enjoy this bakery though the flavors aren’t always as sweet as I’d like. My go-to’s are their black and white cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and tea cakes. I’m a bit nervous trying their other desserts as there seems to be quite a bit of cross contamination with oat flour as I’ve gotten sick on two previous occasions. So if you’re sensitive to oats, I’d recommend asking the staff what to steer clear of. Still, if you’re looking for something gluten free and delicious then definitely give Erin McKenna’s Bakery a try!
Nice cookies but donuts were horrible. They tasted like you were eating a bag of brown sugar. So disappointed after reading great reviews 😭 Didn’t get sick though which is always a plus
I may be biased because I am not vegan. But everything is gf. I don't love the cakes and a few other items I got. They are on the dryer side but the doughnuts were 10/10! Small bakery but decent amount of items. Will still go back to try other stuff.
Can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! I am gluten free and egg free so this is one of the few places in the world I can eat everything on the menu! Their cinnamon rolls are my absolute favorite as well as their blueberry donut :)
TLDR: not safe, not tasty, no variation between items, and poor service.
I experienced symptoms of gluten contamination after eating here, despite their claims to be 100% GF.
The service is also poor; the wait for the items to be boxed took upwards of 5 minutes despite being the only customer in the store.
Another complaint: the “tiramisu”, “strawberry shortcake”, and birthday cake are exactly the same — the only difference is the icing on top. All are overpriced and with worse taste and texture than a grocery-store bought GF cake.
I love this bakery. But the staff is not super friendly in new york. They also don’t do custom orders with any detail like the other locations. I love the Santa Monica location as well as the Disney springs one. But the New York location unfortunately is just not the same. The food is delicious except the vanilla donuts always have something hard in them. I also brought my daughter to the New York location who was 6 months old in a stroller and there were steps so I couldn’t even access the store easily.
I recently became gluten free due to health concerns and I was excited to try this establishment. Unfortunately, I didn’t even have the opportunity to because the employees were so rude I refuse to give them business. What a shame. Smelt delicious. Their rude employee situation seems to be a recurring theme considering a few of the other reviews said the same thing.
I find everything here disappointing. The donuts are so flat and sad! The cupcakes are dry! I’ve been a few times but will not be back again. It’s safe, but it’s just not very good.
