Amazing gluten free bakery! I was diagnosed with celiac 23 years ago, so I have been around the block with gluten free food. I have been to dedicated GF bakeries around the country and The Southern Olive stands up there with the best. With options like this, gluten-free living has not only become bearable, it has become savory at its best!

Mainly an olive oil shop, but a pretty good size GF bakery too. Everything is GF, even bread for tasting oils. They also have vegan dairy free baked goods. Lemon bars are awesome!

Awesome. I have Celiac disease, my daughter has a dairy allergy and my son has a tree nut allergy. We can all get yummy baked goods at The Southern Olive. What a treat

A dedicated gluten free bakery with wonderful baked goods. The oils and vinegars are fantastic too. The owner, Amber, is very knowledgeable!!

So yummy and an all gluten free bakery! Amber the owner is fantastic and has worked with my many allergens to come up with fantastic goodies. She also has vegan options. This is a must try again and again and again!!!!

Olive oil/balsamic store with a coffee bar, packaged GF pasta, and a DEDICATED GF bakery that will also accommodate other allergens (lots of DF, as an example). Slightly off the beaten path in Charlotte, NC area but easy parking as they are in a shopping center with a Publix a couple of doors down. They have lots of small stuff daily and do bigger cakes/baked goods as necessary. All GF items are always slightly more expensive but they are very reasonably priced, in my experience. Great for Celiac folks! Owner is also just delightful and easy to talk to/work with.

Excellent gluten free pasta with tons of infused flavors to choose from all handmade and non-gmo. A bakery with 100% of choices GF, several dairy free and vegan desserts too. This is a cafe, bakery, gourmet specialty food store and tasting bar with 70 diff flavors of olive oils and vinegars too. All gluten free and organically produced! Gluten free smoothies with actual fruit!!

This place is absolutely wonderful! Went for the first time this weekend. A significant amount of their pastry selection is gluten free!! I got a cherry cheesecake bar and it was TO DIE FOR!!! I'm already trying to figure out what I'm going to try next!! Also got the best tea I've had in a long time! This place is truly a gem!

Awesome store and fantastic baked goods! What a treat to be able to buy gluten free goodies in the bakery case! Also fantastic special order cakes!
