Swoon's Ridgefield location is now closed, along with their dedicated GF kitchen. They're now merged with The Cake Box in Westport, and all of the "gluten-free" goods are prepared and baked in the same kitchen as their conventional goods. Wheat flour in the air and rampant cross-contamination. NOT safe for celiacs.

Swoon used to be such a treat! Unfortunately now that they are using a shared space they cannot guarantee anything is gluten free and are not safe for celiacs! Definitely do not feel safe going there anymore! Such a shame
No
So sad that Swoon has moved and now makes their gf baked goods in a shared kitchen. No longer safe for me and my family. Very disappointing.

Tasted the bread-deelish! The chocolate chip cookie had sea salt so balanced out the chunks of chocolate. The tea breads are amazingly moist with lots of flavor. Good prices!
I try to visit Swoon only once a week, because it's hard to control myself. I'm not a cupcake person unless it's my birthday, so I usually opt for the lemon ricotta tea cake or giant chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookie. Sometimes a brownie. Everything is moist and delicious. The brioche buns have the taste and texture of the real thing- to die for. Only issue is they have to be special ordered. People complain that the cost is high- but this is very specialized baking using costly ingredients- you get what you pay for. So visit as often as you can, and savor every bite. I hope they're around for a long time!😀
Loooooved SWOON! (Don't be confused by the 109 cheese shop). I had the old school cupcake (in my photo) and it was sooo moist and the cream filling brought me back to my ho- ho days - but this is soooooo much better!! The chocolate chip cookie is moist and chewy and I went back for more !

Hands down the best GF bakery I've ever tried.
Yes
Yummy. Also vegan options available.
I got the sweet and salty cupcake. To. Die. For. Oh my gosh😋. It was sooo yummy, great flavor combination I tried on a whim. If I'm in the area again, it is a must visit!
Yes
So far we love their dinner rolls, sandwich bread, monkey pizza, and pizza dough. Can't wait to go back and try more delicious treats!
Crazy for their cupcakes -vegan & GF are moist & delicious! Wickedly wonderful chocolate whoopee pies! Wish they were closer.
The cupcakes at Swoon are better than any "regular" cupcakes I've ever had!! This is a dedicated gluten free environment which also has vegan options.
most delicious gluten free cupcakes I have ever tasted, especially the mint chocolate chip and brownie sundae ones! very moist and flavorful. i highly recommend this bakery.
Yes
A bit pricey but absolutely delicious!!!!
Yes
Love the baked items but they need to work on a few things. 1.They are not easy to find, tucked away around a corner in a small plaza. 2.They do not always have bread, which needs to be rectified, as they advertise it on the website.3.They do a lot of phone order business, so are always on the phone and typically don;t wait on you right away. 4. They are very expensive, because they cater to a rich Fairfield county crowd.
Yes
LOVE the pumpkin tea cake and Moccachino cupcake!! I never eat chocolate cake but it is so moist and delicious. Being a vanilla person I would like to see more GF vanilla based cupcakes with maybe a cinnamon type frosting. Also cinnamon rolls would be great too!
So good I want to cry!
Yes
Great focaccia! Best with rosemary but I love it plain as well - fantastic warm, just baked, but I have it almost every day for breakfast. Brush with olive oil and toasted - or add honey and peanut butter - great way to start the day. Swoon also makes a Lemon Ricotta Tea cake that is moist with a perfect balance of sweet with just the right hint of lemon to set off the ricotta. Wonderful for tea or dessert-or breakfast! Good thing I live down the street.
Some of the best GF cupcakes we've had yet!
This place is great! Between Swoon and the Cutting Board Cafe across the street this is a celiac's dream come true! We have had the cupcakes as well as custom order cakes both were great.
