MUST GO IF IN THE AREA. I had the carrot cake and it was wonderful !!! We all know good gf desserts are difficult to find. The staff was SO kind and knowledgeable. The only unfortunate part was the fact that this business isn’t doing well. I have NO IDEA WHY BECAUSE ITS AMAZING. Please support small local business if you can, such a fun and safe spot for celiacs and gluten allergies!!

Was treated poorly. They really need to learn customer service. Waiting for a new gluten free place to open. They will get my buisness.

The customer service was non existent. Treated me horribly so I left. It’s easy to be mean to potential customers when you’re the only place around but more GF friendly locations are opening up.

Really surprised with all the 5 star reviews of this place. I saw on the packaging that they've been in business since 2006, which is a long time for a gluten free location, but it seems like they must have never updated their recipes over those 13 years. I have celiac and really wanted to like my treats from this bakery, but they honestly tasted like when you take a "regular" recipe, try subbing gluten free flour, and it turns out with the taste slightly off and the texture all wrong. The brownie was fine but mediocre, the cookies were kinda dry, and the cake was somehow super dry but mushy at the same time. Just not good. I've been to other bakeries and know that gf/df or even gf/vegan can be done so much better!

This bakery is a dedicated gluten free facility that has been in the business for a long time. I had the cinnamon bun and caramel pecan cake that were both incredible. Definitely going to look into ordering after leaving siesta key. Highly recommend!

Much smaller than I thought it would be. There were only a couple of small tables for eating in. The carry out bakery was to die for. Totally amazing!!!! I bought a bunch to take home with me too.

We came here for lunch not realizing that lunch was served only until 2 and it was about 2:15. The woman was very accommodating and made roast beef sandwiches for both my husband and myself. I have to eat gluten free but my husband does not and he enjoyed the sandwich as much as I did. We bought peanut butter cake, a chocolate chip muffin and coffee cake and took them back to our hotel to enjoy later which we did. It is so nice to have a dedicated gluten free environment to be able to eat at and get food from without having to worry about cross contamination especially when you are on vacation!!! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Sarasota.

A great find while visiting Siesta Key, right over the bridge. Very good selection of fresh muffins daily....got ours still warm from oven, and other varieties frozen, sold individually wrapped. We also bought a piece of chocolate cake, scones and hamburger buns. All very fresh and so much better than what you find at a grocery freezer section. Wished we had not already bought Udi's pizza crust or would have tried the bakery's pizza crust. It looked SO much better! Prices were reasonable for GF.

Dedicated GF bakery with some incredible items. Our family has been enjoying this bakery during my our annual trip to Florida for many years. They have even shipped us some cinnamon rolls because we couldn’t wait until our vacation. The carrot and peanut butter cakes are great and so are the variety of pies. We always stock up our vehicle before heading home to Michigan. March 3rd can’t get here soon enough. Enjoy!

Wir waren kurz nach 14uhr da. Sie sagte uns unfreundlich, dass es keinen Möglichkeit für Lunch gab. Also kaufte ich einen Kirschkuchen...Sehr eklig für das Geld. Glutenfrei hin oder her. Wir machen einen Bogen drum

delicious! my family recently moved near here and for christmas bought pie, cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies and dinner rolls for me. The cinnamon rolls are the best gluten free rolls i've had thus far. The muffins and cookies are better then i've had even before i had to go gluten free. You absolutely have to eat here.

Stumbled across this place doing a search for gluten free near me while traveling... LOVE IT! Cinnamon rolls are heavenly, also got the cookie dough so could bake my own at home. Amazing food, well worth it and for a Celiac who's also dairy and corn free this was a dream! They use potato starch vs corn starch in most items so they were safe for me. Living over an hour away we asked and were thrilled to find out THEY SHIP ❤
