Was really craving a donut and decided to check this place out. Unfortunately i was super disappointed. You can’t really call this a donut. It was basically just a cake in a donut shape. I went to pick it up and it crumbled into a million pieces. It was overly moist to the point of sogginess. If it were advertised as a cake it would be ok but also was just overly sweet. Pass.

Gave this little shop a try and the experience was decent. We tried the donuts and the cupcakes and we did not get sick from it. The kitchen is a shared space but they do clean afterwards to be careful about cross contamination when baking gf and regular treats. However, we did not like the donut and cupcakes because we’ve had better elsewhere. The shop is cute and the ladies are very nice and answered every question without any hesitation.

AMAZING! I have been gf for 9 years and had one good donut before eating one from here. They even have lots of cupcake choices, not just chocolate/vanilla. Great treat. (So good you question if it's really gf)

I recently went gluten and dairy free and am usually disappointed with substitutes but this place blew me away. I couldn’t even tell the difference. Great taste, extremely easy to order online and pick up, and a cute shop. Couldn’t be happier!

Always a favorite! Any time I need to bring a dessert somewhere in a hurry (or have had a rough day at work where only a donut or cupcake will fix it) they’ve come through! Their donuts are so cakey & soft with inventive toppings, & their cupcakes are always a go to. Try their crumb cake & banana bread they’re not to be missed! I think I’ve tried almost everything in their separate GF case & have never been disappointed!

I was stoked to find a cute bake shop that was easy to get to. I was disappointed with the service however and the sweets. I had a cupcake which was too sweet and the cake balls tasted like they had been in the fridge for too long.

Was passing through and came across this small bake shop. I got the “cake balls” which are like munchkins and they were really delicious. The texture of their baked goods is gooey and moist. Just be prepared to spend $1.50 a munchkin! The Brookie was a nice size and was $4.50. Really delicious! Recommend but for the price, it had better be awesome :)

The cakepop/balls are to die for. Love these. Took them home to my family for New Years and they loved them!

Have a lot of options. Everything is vegan and they have a lot of GF options as well. Some days more than others. I always get their crumb cake and a cupcake. So good!!! Everything GF is kept separate case and hey will wrap separate if needed. Definitely recommend!

Wow! I'm so happy to have found a gf sweets shop nearby. They have a case filled with gf items. My partner and I each got a cupcake, both were delicious. The frosting wasn't overly sweet and the actual cake didn't crumble. They also have gf cakes available. Can't wait to return!

This is a great bakery for someone with multiple allergies. All of their products are dairy and egg free and they have many gluten free choices. I had a red velvet gluten free cupcake and it was dry and not very good. But their gluten free crumb cake is amazing!

I was so excited because they had GF apple cider donuts this past fall. They charged about $4 for ONE donut. That donut was terrible. It was disgustingly sweet and wouldn't have passed for an apple cider donut on any planet. You folks might be vegan, but you're apparently trying to give people diabetes.

This place is fine. Nice to have another option locally for GF options.

Like that they label GF items with stickers.

My friend referred me after he had a terrible experience with service because I was craving a gluten free cupcake. I searched on the web and they had such great reviews that when I ordered a few and picked them up, I was a bit surprised and wasn't impressed: a bit dry, could use less frosting and some additional sugar to their service. I rate two stars because the rocks they sell may actually pass for acceptable to the town they're in. As for the attitude, it should be readjusted to be a bit more humble and welcoming considering the sub-par wares. not trying to be harsh as I am always on the hunt for good gluten free, perhaps this review will help someone out there and strike a balance with what I have seen so far.

Cupcakes are great! Lots of frosting. Usually only vanilla & chocolate gf, but there was an awesome pumpkin flavor the last time I went.
