Gigi's Cupcakes

They used to be my go to place for cupcakes, then a few months ago they started decreasing the variety they offered for gluten free. I found a new wonderful even better bakery for all my sweet treat wishes!

Not safe for those with GF needs! They keep their gluten free cupcakes in the same case as regular cupcakes. Way too much cross contamination! And if you do brave trying a cupcake, the cake part is extremely dry with very little flavor.

Celiac friendly?

No

Terrible - How can they market Gluten Free? I have Celiac Dx and became very ill. My sister has a wheat intolerance and became ill. Gluten Free is not a Fad! I hope this app removes them so no one else is fooled by "we take precautions".....My GI says otherwise! - -Disappointed - -

Celiac friendly?

No

The cupcakes are the best I have ever had. They take precautions to ensure they are GF, but as with ANY restaurant or bakery with non-GF stuff, it's nearly impossible to be perfect. They have GF flavors every day :)

I went to try their gluten free cupcakes today. They had four kinds out of their selection of 24 cupcakes (the rest were regular). The frosting was good but the cake part was not. Either they were dry or not cooked all the way and the consistency and flavor were just off and poor tasting.

Every Friday they have gluten free cupcakes, and often on other days they will have gluten free cupcakes too.

Gigi’s makes fresh cupcakes daily, but there are a limited number of gluten friendly cupcakes— so they’re first come-first serve (unless you place an order in advance of course). They have two standard flavors year-round that are gluten friendly (“triple chocolate torte” & “wedding cake” which is a vanilla with buttercream frosting). They typically have a third flavor that is alternated based on the day/season. For example I’ve had a pumpkin caramel flavor during the fall, but presently (winter) they have a Banana Caramel Crunch option that’s gluten friendly. I found this location of the national chain to be just as good as other locations that I’ve had positive experiences with previously.

They will be happy to give you ingredients of cupcakes when needed for allergen concerns! The cupcakes are made with rice flour. They use real sugar, not anything artificial! They do not claim to be celiac friendly. They boxed my cupcakes separately from my husband’s non GF cupcakes, keeping cross contamination from happening. The GF cupcakes are kept in a case separated from the others. They do not offer dairy free options, I am unsure of other allergens, but they happily will answer for you over phone or in store. The cupcakes are very delicious!

Very good! We got 2 cupcakes and it was a nice treat. They have a lot of frosting on them and are VERY sweet. I could only eat half of one.
