Very good gf macaroons and chocolate torte. The staff person changed her gloves before getting me the gf items but she did warn me that there is a lot of flour in the shop and they can’t guarantee no cross contamination. I’m only gluten intolerant but had no symptoms.

Plenty of gluten free options for baked goods! But be cautious-I didn't watch the employee put my muffin in the bag, and she accidentally gave me a regular muffin instead of the gluten free one.

Usually 5 or so GF items available. Terrific cheesecake and GF muffins. Closed on Sundays. Delicious!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They were really nice and we appreciated the effort. We tried the gf donut, apple cake, and almond cake and they were okay, not bad but not the best baked goods that we have had. The gf items are separate from the gluten items, but they are all within the same case, so a more sensitive celiac might have issues with that. Our daughter, however, did not get sick, and appreciated that she got a fun dessert that day. If you are in the area and not terribly sensitive, it's worth a trip in.

What a great spot in Charlottesville! They have a GF muffin, torte, cakes, macaroons, a vegan donut, and occasional other treats. It is NOT a GF facility, but they do try to keep products separate in the case. I do have celiac but I did NOT get sick from these!
