The few gluten-free cookies that they prepare are delicious. However we mentioned to the staff that they should be separated from the gluten-filled pastries. There is no real excuse for not trying to avoid cross-contamination. The owner didn't really agree. We have not returned for months now. ☹

Called and they said that they do not clean the counters between making gf and gluten containing goods. Not safe for celiacs.

A fair amount of options, on the pricey side.

I ordered a gluten free cake for my Birthday I wanted a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate mouse filling. The only thing tasty about my cake was the chocolate mouse, the cake was a little dry even though it was fresh and had been stored in a freezer, the buttercream had no flavor it tasted like it was sugarless just butter and cream no vanilla or sugar taste at all. I am so grateful that their are bakeries that will make a specialty cake gluten free for a milestone birthday but does it have to taste so terrible that your gluten eating friends didn't even want to finish their slice. I have been to bakeries and ordered gluten free cupcakes that tasted so good my gluten eating friends ate two or three but I wanted a special cake for my birthday and this was garbage. I won't be recommending or ordering from you again.
