Nice and knowledgeable staff. Tried two different flavors of the Paleo/gf doughnuts. I had the lemon and the chocolate chip and sea salt. While I was appreciative to be able to have a gf option, they were both pretty awful. Took one bite of each and threw them away. Just terrible. Texture and flavor were so bad. Not worth the calories. If my husband wants to come back, (he is not gf) I might give the cookie a shot. It looked pretty tasty.

The gluten free donuts they have are paleo. I love them! It is more of a muffin/cake texture so if that’s not your thing it might not be what your looking for. Chocolate sea salt paleo is my favorite!

The donut was dry and had no flavor. Spent $15 for 3 small donuts. I’m very sad they were so gross :(

They had 4 different gf and dairy free but with eggs donuts that were great and not too sweet. They had dairy free donuts without eggs that were sweeter and looked more like the traditional donuts. I don't find donuts that are not really sweet often so they were good. No proceeded sugar in the donuts. I thought they had just enough sweet flavor

Were they gluten free - yes! Did they have good flavor - nothing to write home about. It was a cute little shop, but the donuts were...heavy (dense), a bit greasy. It was a bit disappointing considering they were $4 a piece. They should work on their recipes....if they could perfect it...they could make a killing!

Was the doughnut gluten free? Yes. Was it good? Not quite. If you’re looking for a slightly flavorless cake/muffin experience with the gluten free products, this is the place to go. If you’re looking for a light, fluffy doughnut that doesn’t weigh 2 lbs, I would not recommend.

We tried the paleo doughnuts as that was their GF/ Grain Free option. They were tasty! I would go back.

The paleo donuts are fabulous. They are not super sweet tasting, and they are moist and it feels like you are eating cake instead of a dry chunk like other pre-made gluten free baked goods. I assume there is some cross contamination, but l have a severe gluten in tolerance and have never gotten sick.

Over 3 months, I've tried every gf "flavor" and have yet to find any actual flavor. For all the hype, it's disappointing. Very wet and cakey. Simply not a good GF baked good.

Wonderful place to stop for a sweet tooth. They comforted my daughter and I by how they made the gf donuts out of reach of the others. Wonderful ladies- willing to answer questions.

My husband raves about their regular non-gluten free donuts and I was excited that they have gluten free, although not impressed. No flavor, even the cream on top was very bland. The one good thing I will say is that they are super moist and not dry like a lot of gluten free baked goods, however I would not recommend them.

I want to start by saying my non-celiac family and friends LOVE this place! I can definitely see why. HOWEVER, after trying their paleo donuts a couple times and not feeling great, I finally Nima tested one. As suspected, it tested as having gluten. It’s totally understandable that cross contamination is highly likely given it is not a dedicated GF bakery. I just wish they wouldn’t advertise the paleo donuts as GF. Celiacs beware.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have tried it several times and just don’t care for the paleo donuts.

They’ve been very knowledgeable and was told they follow allergy procedures when making them. I’ve never had a reaction and the paleo vegan donuts have always been amazing. 🖤

Limited availability for GF (paleo) donuts unless you go right when they open. The donuts are kind of bland. I wish they’d make gluten free instead of paleo so some of the original flavors can transfer.

Employee not knowledgeable and also rude.

paleo doughnuts. nuff said

Based on reviews here I went to try their donuts. It wasn't very easy to find them though. It was inside The Factory, a repurposed old factory. great atmosphere inside with lots of local businesses. They had the GF donuts separate with separate things. But I'm not 100% certain about the safety of this place. The donut was okay, but had alot of cocoa pieces on top which was too much for me personally. I would liked to have seen the GF donuts in a separate enclosed container and that would've made me feel safer.

the donuts are very dry and they don't have a great flavor. not the best place for gluten-free donuts, Vegan Vee is much better!!

Had a paleo orange chocolate donut. Great flavor.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the Paleo donuts, so good! a little dense but the flavor was amazing. Good attention to allergy needs, they asked if I needed them to change their gloves before handling my food. I recommend this place if you are looking for a safe treat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I didn't like he donut but I usually don't like paleo stuff for some reason.

They are great about not cross contaminating. When I order a paleo doughnut they ask if they need to change their gloves and put it in a separate box. You would never guess that the paleo doughnuts are paleo because they are so good. I wish I was able to try the 100 layer doughnut. I have seen gf cookies and doughnuts there but I haven't tried them to see if it really is gf but I think it is considering how careful the are with the paleo ones.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
