I have celiac disease and even the slightest cross contamination can leave me in an abundance of pain for weeks. I walk into the small cupcake shop and asked for any gluten free options available. The woman quickly stated "no we have no gluten free cupcakes". Astounded, I looked at my mom and sister confused because I found this place under this gluten free app (which I always use !). So I just told my sister to get any cupcake she wanted and I'll get something sweet somewhere else. The entire time this lady is watching me conversate amoungst my sister and hearing how dissapointed I was. My mother then asked again if there was anything gluten free, in which the lady finally said "yes there is in the back" as her employees began to fill the front desk from the back of the bakery. As we all looked at each other confused I asked for 1 gluten free cupcake as she puts 1 glove on grunting. I was completely weirded out, as I knew this was my worst nightmare to ever happen publicly. I was being discrimated against. She seemed to not want to serve me at all and did not inform me of the ways she would carefull prepare my cupcake away from the others, she also didn't inform me if there were any other flavors or even if how they were made! Either way, even if she did not want to serve me, the fact that she could not provide such valuable information to a person with celiac disease and seeing just the "normal gluten cupcakes displayed" gave me a sickening feeling of being completely terrified that somehow/someway I am going to get sick.if you have celiac, I would not recommend since these regular/gluten free cupcake are made fresh DAILY. With the chances of flour flying around everywhere and not having a completely dedicated area for us Celiac's.
