I ordered a cake for my twins’ birthday party. I ordered chocolate, thinking that with all these great reviews it must be really good. I tried their cupcakes a few years ago and thought it must have just been an off day, they were not good at all. I have been gluten free for 12 years and know what differences you can generally expect with gluten free baked goods. I was short on time and needed a cake for my kids so I ordered from Unrefined, thinking that it was probably good enough. The cake we ordered for the party was really bad. We sliced cake for everyone and just barely tasted it, before deciding it couldn’t be safe to consume. It was dense, fudgy, but not sweet and sort of a fishy rotten smell and NO taste. It was by far the worst gluten free anything I have ever had. My kids will eat almost anything with sugar and they wouldn’t eat it. The management didn’t believe us and were defensive about the issue. They had us bring back the cake to the restaurant so they could taste it! My kids were very disappointed, and still talk about the “rotten birthday cake” they had at their last birthday. The person we spoke to didn’t seem to care that it was disappointing to my kids, and was more concerned with defending their nasty cake. Their “cake” isn’t even made in house, it comes from an off-site bakery. Anything could happen to it and they wouldn’t really know, so how can they say that there’s nothing wrong with it? My husband and I had sandwiches inside their restaurant last year. The girl taking our order was very nice. My husband was given a bag of chips that was completely open already when he grabbed it to open it, so he went back to the counter to swap it out. The lady that was at the counter at that time either didn’t believe him or didn’t want to be bothered with giving him another bag and gave him an attitude. We will never return to this restaurant, they’re horrible!

I got a sandwich and it was good, but I wish they had more variety for sandwich toppings. I also had a cupcake and it was good.

I have a celiac son and niece. We just went there and it’s spectacular !! The owner has Celiac and it is a chef. VERY SAFE place for Celiacs and delicious!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chocolate cupcakes had a fishy smell and taste to them, the pumpkin and vanilla were ok. Not as light, fluffy or moist as I would hope but ok. l had both the dairy free and cream cheese frosting, they aren't as sweet or as heavy as normal frosting so personal preference. Sugar cookies were tasty as was the trail mix.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So excited and happy to have a dedicated gluten free bakery close to home in Frisco. However, first time we tried it, I ordered a cookie cake for my son’s birthday and unfortunately it did not have any flavor. Willing to try again and order cake or cupcakes instead to see if any better.

My 7 year old daughter has celiac. She didn’t care for the unbutter cream vanilla cupcake but enjoyed the cookie and the brown velvet unbutter cream cupcake. I thought the vanilla one tasted good and I am not on gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Can’t say enough good things about this bakery. It is my son’s favorite place to go. They have amazing gf & df cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and snacks. You must stop by if you are in the area!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The entire bakery is dedicated gluten free, and staff is very aware of any allergies. They have vegan and dairy-free options as well. The breads are delicious and hearty, and the cupcakes are incredible! I ate a sandwich in the shop that I really liked. Highly recommended!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The cupcakes were amazing! The staff was nice and very knowledgable.

A little piece of heaven on earth! You can get just about any kind of baked good here, including beautifully decorated cakes! My favorite thing about this bakery is that they don’t rob you blind just because they do GF, which is rare with bakeries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent option for gluten free food. Stopped here on a business trip Was able to get a sandwich to eat there and some cookies and frozen pumpkin loaf to bring home. Service is excellent, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Even packed the cookies carefully in a box to protect them for the flight home. Highly recommended.

Do excited about this place - we’ve tried iced cookies, cookies with sprinkles, and chocolate chip cupcake with cream filling. All were fantastic!

I love their pumpkin and banana muffins. They have samples out of all of their pies daily as well. Their carrot muffins are fantastic also. All gluten-free

I wanted to like this place. I think it's great that they have a dedicated gf bakery. However I tried the cookie sandwiches and they are everything I hate most in gf cookies. They are airy, crunchy, have no flavor except an oily after taste.

After giving them another try, their cupcakes are delicious!! Not too sweet and a great texture. Cookies are a hard pass for me though.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great customer service! Was also given ideas of where to eat in town since we're not from here. My son has celiacs and loved the cupcake!

they are awesome! They gave us samples.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not only do they have only gluten free, but they offer options for dairy free and more. The carrot cupcake with unbutter cream was out of this 🌎. Also tried the ginger cookie and sugar cookie. Soft and chewy without the gf crumbling. I will go back for lunch next time, and treat myself to a delicious sweet as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Before celiac, I used to wonder "Who would go here?" Now the answer to that question is "me!!!" I've truly never had anything here that wasn't amazing. The pizza crust and the hamburger buns are out of this world.

Their gluton free bread is phenomenal!

Safe and tasty! Love ginger rusks!

Celiac friendly?

Celiac friendly?

Had my birthday cake made here and it was wonderful. Delicious, moist, and tasty!

Love it! My daughter has several food allergies and we can go in and buy pre-made treats she can't get anywhere else. Love the hamburger buns - and her birthday cake was beautiful!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Took our GF 4yr old there while on vacation. Many varieties of cupcakes & several cookies. Everything completely GF. The cupcakes were delish (even for us non GF). Great staff. Helpful, answered any questions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am addicted to this place!!! Love the sweet breads and cupcakes!!! Pumpkin bread is my favorite.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I don't understand how this bakery has so many good reviews. My family has been gluten free for over 10 years, so I know gf cake can be delicious. We ordered a vanilla cake for my mother's birthday, and while it was decorated beautifully, we threw most of it away. It was inedible, way too dense with very little flavor. I have tried several other cupcake flavors, and the only decent cake is the chocolate. Love the concept, but the recipes need work.

Celiac friendly?

No

We use this bakery frequently!! Love their speciality cakes, as well as their cupcakes and breads for everyday!

Great place. Very friendly. Cupcakes are to die for. Ordered my fiancés birthday cake. We can't wait to see and taste it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very friendly staff and lots of Yumminess in this store! I recommend getting a cupcake and picking up the pizza crust for dinner.

It was amazing everything was gluten and soy free they even had Palio. I had excellent customer service. They had a great selection. I will be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I LOVE this place! We discovered it by accident while exploring the Frisco area. Their cupcakes are to die for, and they have other stuff too. They have Paleo bread, which is impossible to find, I usually make my own. The staff is friendly and knowledgable and always willing to take the time to talk to you about your specific needs/concerns. Definitely worth every penny I spend there.

Great selection! I appreciate the time they took to look through the menu and circle everything that was gf and dairy free.

Oh, my! This place is great! My daughter is getting married in Dallas this June. Finding a GF bakery that tastes good has been a challenge but I am sold on this place! We had the chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and it was really good! Moist and full of flavor!

Now I hope I can get them to make the top tier of the wedding cake!

Completely knowledgeable about allergies and they will work with you individually to designate which items are available based on your diet.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The G-free cupcake was great, and the staff was incredibly nice! We loved the cookies! I everyone has their own taste, so I say give them a try! Yum!

Yummy sugar cookies for my daughter's birthday treats. Great to have a local bakery I can count on!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love them, they are delicious and very friendly. Their cupcakes are yummy, as are the cinnamon buns, and chex mix.

Very safe for celiac's. I've had the brownies, banana bread, dinner rolls, and breakfast bars, all fantastic! They ask if you have other allergies too. Love this place.

I have recently discovered my intolerance of gluten. My mom does a great job of finding things I can eat & she found this bakery while we were in Texas for Christmas in 2013. I absolutely love everything she got me!! The pumpkin bread is amazing!!! The cookies are so soft & delicious!! I didn't care too much for the dinner rolls, but they are good for when you want a roll with dinner!! This place is great!! Just have the chocolate cupcake to try tonight :)

Wonderful cupcakes and cookie sandwiches. Love their pizza crust!!

Awesome for Celiacs! Vegan, non GMO & certified Gluten Free bakery items. Cupcakes are yummy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Unrefined Bakery is an excellent place for those with wheat and soy allergies. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. They take the time to walk you through ingredients and what you can/cannot have based on your specific allergies.

And most importantly the food is delicious!!! Multiple samples are available to familiarize customers with the products. The ginger rusk and carrot cake cupcake in particular are standouts for moistness, texture, and flavor! This is a definite go-to shop for those who want great tasting baked goods without gluten, soy, etc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten several things here. All were wonderful. Everything is gluten free. They offer other good allergens also but everything is gf! Recommend this place for a sweet treat or even bread pies everything.

Fantastic 100% gluten and soy free bakery!! I ordered a birthday cake, chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies, and trail mix. The banana muffins are currently being enjoyed for breakfast and there are instructions for freezing and re-heating too. I also got a pecan pie for Thanksgiving and it’s in the freezer.
