Overpriced froo-froo cupcakes. Very sweet. Only one or two GF options, so variety and selection is not here. Not on my list of re-dos. Dairy free really not an option here, either.

Kind of expensive for a cupcake, even a gluten free one. Not a lot of GF variety. Hope you like chocolate or vanilla.

I have eaten here multiple times - they make their cupcakes in a separate area and use a separate tray. They taste great.

Had a GF cupcake here. I did realize they are not a dedicated gf bakery and while they try their best to eliminate cross contamination, they cannot guarantee it won’t happen. GF cupcakes were in same case with gluten, which is usually deal breaker for me. I took a chance on one. They were quite tasty, a bit on the sweet side with a lot of frosting and a smidge gummy, but very good. I do have a slight upset tummy after a few hours, so not the best idea, but I knew I was taking a chance. Whoops 😬

Staff is knowledgeable but the kitchen is cross contaminated. They usually have very few gluten free options. Good for people who aren’t that strict!
