The Goods

I am gluten and dairy free so I was so excited to see they had donuts that are both gluten and vegan! The three options without dairy and gluten are a maple donut, churro donut, and seasonal jam which was like a powdered donut with jam in the middle! I got to try all three and they were SO delicious. 10/10 recommend.

I went to The Goods this morning and had the Tahitian vanilla sprinkle doughnut, and the maple doughnut. Both were delicious! The GF doughnuts were totally separated from the regular. Highly recommend!

What a lovely spot in downtown Carlsbad. Found through the “Find Me Gluten-Free” and was pleasantly surprised to hear that some GF donuts remained on a Friday afternoon. The variety of gluten-free flavor options was great l, with a few vegan/GF options, too. The GF donuts were moist and flavorful. Definitely worth the stop!!

So good! Unfortunately I went in the afternoon so not a wide selection but I had the churro and chocolate ganache GF donuts. So good! Definitely smaller than the normal donuts but the texture was delicious!

Staff was knowledgeable about celiac, allergies & cross contact. The friendly gal helping me even explained that they keep everything separate in the back, whisks/glazes etc.

I even spoke to the owner who was super friendly. They had a posted ingredient list.

Got a vanilla sprinkle donut, was great! More cake like (as they’re baked, not fried with gluten-filled donuts) but still so good.

Got a couple to go!

Did not get sick. Wish there was one nearby me!

Sooo good! Light and fluffy, not dense like so many GF donuts. Probably basically vanilla cupcakes in the shape of donuts, but I don’t care, the frosting makes them feel like donuts!

My son with celiac loves his GF maple bacon and chocolate donuts! They even had Vegan options for me and they were delicious. My non-gluten free family members were also super happy with their pastry choices. Sad we don’t live nearby and are only here on vacation. Otherwise, they would see a lot of us.

The donuts were so good! They didn’t have anymore chocolate out when we got there so my fiancé asked if they had any and they made me one. It was so good and they were so sweet. The churro was also good but I prefer the chocolate.

They had tasty donuts that were good for dairy free and gluten-free folks (we are celiac). Donuts were a little dense but nice to find a small donut coffee place for the family.

These doughnuts are amazing. Get there early if you want a selection. The workers are always super friendly. I’m not sure about celiac as there is cross contamination potential. And their peach tea is delicious.

Asked if prepared in a separate area or cleaned between prep of gluten items. Answer was a definitive No, that cross contamination was likely. Baker did not know what flour was used. Nice lady at checkout did though. A little to sketchy for us so we didn't try anything. Donuts smelled great however!

We are in heaven! The gluten free donuts were amazing. Can’t miss this place. Not sure if there is cross contamination but we are intolerant so it was ok for us.

Spent A week in Carlsbad, had gluten free donuts twice. No Problems

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Beautiful GF cake donuts. Not fried since the regular donuts are put in the oil. Only 4 stars since there is risk of cc of course (it is a bakery after all) but when I asked they said they are careful and my celiac daughter had two donuts and did not get sick. A good find for $3 donuts so she isn’t left out during vacation when the others get donuts.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Soooo DELICIOUS, light, fluffy and fantastic!! Best GF thing I’ve ever had!!

They have gluten free donuts but all the equipment is shared. They do not have separate glaze or ganache so everything is cross contaminated. BUT they did offer an unglazed GF donut with just cinnamon and sugar. Staff was knowledgeable and upfront about the cross contamination.

It’s still a cake donut, like light and fluffy. They have a few gf flavors everyday. I was happy and the atmosphere was cool.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They are very careful!! Jared and his family run this and bake gf separately, and use separate equipment. And they are AMAZING! Reasonable prices!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing GF doughnuts. Baked, not fried.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy chocolate gf donut and latte.

They now carry a daily GF donut that is baked, not fried. I have a very sensitive food allergy so very hesitant to try. But no reaction, very tasty treat and the staff was very excited to have a GF customer.

They advertise a gluten free donut, available certain days, but the employee said it is made in the same oil as the regular donuts.

Celiac friendly?

No
