My family enjoyed grabbing lunch and sweet treats here today! A bit of a hidden gem, but easily accessible when driving through Lansing, and definitely worth visiting! So delicious, and I found the food reasonably priced. So often GF food is very expensive and I was pleasantly surprised when our four sandwiches was less than $30. We then couldn’t resist getting dessert to go as well. So many flavors, and my celiac children were thrilled. Highly recommend eating here!

Such a great place to grab lunch or sweets from without worrying about cross contamination! The staff are super friendly. I recommend the vegan chickpea sandwich and the pumpkin roll!

There were so many flavors to choose from. I only bought four different ones for now and will be back for more to try. The cupcakes were very flavorful and moist and the toppings were not too sweet. Great balance of flavors.

I was in Lansing for a children's birthday party and stopped here to get something safe for me to eat and was so satisfied. I had the BLT, kale slaw and the red velvet cupcake. Everything was delicious and the service was super friendly. Next time I'm in town I'll be excited to stop again and try something new.

Absolutely wonderful. Will go back every time I’m in Lansing! Totally safe for celiacs. We got sandwiches, the chicken salad was delicious, light, flavorful, and I really liked the Russian dressing they put on there. The cupcakes are light and fluffy and the frosting has the perfect sweetness and texture. They had a Cookie Monster cupcake for my son and he was over the moon! We never get to give him these type of themed cupcakes and it was such a wonderful experience for him!

Service was great. I had a sandwich and kaleslaw and I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm not celiac, so I didn't ask all the questions but I was told everything is GF here. Lots of options for baked good, so I'm going to leave with a pumpkin roll!

Finally got to try this bakery today. Was so excited they are now doing lunch specials. Today we had soul food BBQ chicken, greens, Mac n Cheese, sweet potatoes and corn bread. Hands down best GF food I have had in a long time. Then came our dessert which we got to go. OMG. Easily the best GF baked goods I have ever had. Can’t wait to come back. Not to mention everyone working was so nice and had great energy. Also going to look into taking one of their classes. This is a must stop if you are in the area.

I got my birthday cake from here as well as a sweet potato cake roll, a sugar cookie, and cake pops. The sweet potato cake roll was my favorite because it was light & fluffy. The cake was beautiful and rich. The cookie was soft but a little too sweet for me.

Delicious baked treats (did not try any of their savory delights). The lemon raspberry cupcake was delicious and the carrot cake was SO moist. Tastes like real, gluten-filled treats. Loved it all except for the scone, which may just be me and not the actual scone. Good prices and the counter service was so sweet and friendly, one of the highlights of my visit for sure!

I loved this place! Stopped by for breakfast on our way out of town & had a delicious & generously sized piece of sausage & spinach quiche, & my husband said his bacon, egg & cheese sandwich was very good too. Grabbed the last strawberry scone & a slice of banana bread to enjoy later. Friendly & capable staff.

This bakery and Cafe is an absolute Gem!!! Completely gluten-free (although you'd never know it by taste or texture) and totally amazing! I was so distracted by all of the gluten-free goodies in display case that I forgot to buy a slice of quiche. This was our first visit (we live ~55 minutes away) and we will definitely be back! We bought a selection of cupcakes, brownies, apple cream cheese pie bar, and sweet potato roll. The flavor and texture of that sweet potato roll is outstanding! It has just the right amount of spice & not too much where it overwhelms the sweet potato. Oohhhhwheee! The cream cheese frosting inside the roll is the perfect balance. 😍👌 ❤ The apple cheesecake bar was near perfection as well! The cheesecake layer compliments the apples and the crumb topping so deliciously! Maybe it's a good thing we don't live any closer... Lol! If you're within a few hours drive it is most certainly worth the time to stop in and buy up all their baked goods. 💕 I haven't tried the cupcakes yet, but will update my review when I do.

My first visit and I bought a peach cookie, brownie, and strawberry cupcakes. These are gf/vegan and absolutely delicious! Everything is gf and then there’s a variety of items also vegan. They have a cafe with some food options but I really didn’t have time to check it out but will in the future. I live about 90 minutes away and will definitely be back.
