I’ve gotten the gluten free cupcakes here several times and they’re pretty good. The icing is a bit sweeter than I like, but the cakes are pretty good. They usually have a few gluten free flavours which is nice!

Some of the best cupcakes I could find! They had a variety of options including cupcakes, cookies, cakepops, brownies, and cheese crackers! The frosting is a tad bit too sweet, but I just scraped half of it off. Also, the flavor options are great! The flavors of the day were plain Jane, carrot, and samosa.

The cookies and cupcakes were amazing, and they even had gf cake pops. They have a separate kitchen for gf baking, so it’s very safe.

Tons of gluten-free options. Cupcakes, cookies, cake pops, macaroons, brownies, special order cakes, the list goes on. The gluten free cupcakes are very moist and very flavorful, and they rotate flavors daily! Try the pumpkin roll when it's in season - you will not regret it!



In fact, I love this place so much my wife and I had them make our wedding cake - and yes, they made it gluten-free, and it was excellent. I was sad when it was all gone...

I am gluten intolerant, and my daughter is nut-allergic. We have NEVER had a problem here, and the cupcakes are delicious! Pearl's offers a variety of safe options, not just the standard chocolate or vanilla. We recently treated our family to cupcakes for my husband's birthday. I had raspberry cream while my daughter with the nut allergy enjoyed some extravagant chocolate confection. Yummy! You will not feel deprived here.
