Wren's Nest Baking Co.

AMAZING! Get up early if you want to beat the crowd, they are busy and for good reason. Charming decor and building, drop dead amazing food. The raspberry coffee cake is something special, the quiches fantastic, beef empanada crispy and a bit spicy. We can’t wait to come back. Hands down the best gf bakery I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a lot. Thank you wrens nest!!

Wrens Nest Baking Co. is a very cute bakery to go to. They are dedicated gluten- free. Only problem is that they are open weird hours and there is usually not a lot of food left. So go when they open if you have your heart set on a certain food.

Picked up a sourdough loaf and some pastries to try this bakery out. All of them were quite tasty and had good texture. They even had savory pastries.

Excellent variety of sweet and savory offerings. Dairy free options and vegetarian options for savory available. I have tried many GF bakeries in the US and around the world, overall this is one of the best I have ever been to. Very good service. Long lines on weekends so come prepared to wait, it is worth it!

Delicious food and wide variety of options: soft pretzels!!!! bread loaves!!!!! quiche, scones, macaroons, muffins, cookies, savory stuffed pastries, lemon bars, and you can also order cakes. Love that they offer espresso drinks as well. GF bakery heaven. The building also offers a lot of tables and seating; the fireplace is a comforting bonus :)

This place is amazing! It’s 100% gluten-free. Everything is baked in house and delicious. Flaky (!) and delicious GF pie crust, yummy muffins and olive oil citrus cake. And (since I live two hours away) we got some sourdough blueberry-walnut bread to take home. Can’t wait!

One of the very friendly staff told me that the owner doesn’t need to be gluten free, but always felt bad seeing GF people miss out on treats. So she opened her own GF bakery and spent three years with her GF baking team to develop and perfect their menu.

I will be back soon, as it’s definitely worth the trip. Thank you, Wren’s Nest.

I'm a very sensitive celiac and absolutely thrilled to have Wren's Nest nearby! If you have any serious gluten sensitivities or restrictions this place will feel like your own personal Disneyland. The entire bakery is dedicated gluten free. The cashier mentioned people like me literally cry when they find this bakery - it's completely safe and there's so many options. (I kept it together while ordering ;) )

I'm fairly certain I'll make my way through the entire menu (both drinks and food).

The coffee is solid. Tried the carrot cake today and it's fantastic - not overly sweet, cream cheese frosting, big portion. It's a 2-sitting or split and share portion. I got the second to last piece a few hours after the bakery opened for the day, and there were lots of things already sold out for the day. Can't wait to come back.

Gluten free heaven! A beautiful space, delicious food, celiac-safe, and welcoming. I have Celiac and have been to a lot of GF bakeries and this is the best. The flaky pastry is unbeatable. We had hand pies, quiche, a kloche, and a pretzel. All delicious!

Wren's Nest is my go to for gluten free bakery items. They have a wide variety, but especially on the weekend, things go quick! I was able to try the elusive cinnamon rolls last week and they were delicious. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Unfortunately, I cannot review the food or safety of this establishment, because my service dog, Teddy, and I were denied service along with my 3 young children and my spouse and his mother. As a Celiac travelling for the holidays, we all know it can be so stressful to find places that accommodate us, and we were very excited to try Wren's Nest before visiting the zoo close by, in fact travelling to this zoo specifically so that we could try this bakery/restaurant--needless to say, we will not patronize or recommend patronizing a business that forced a demeaning and awful situation on me, a disabled veteran with multiples AIs in addition to CD, and my family. For a place that caters to those of us with a serious medical condition and claims to be "A Bakery For Everyone," their lack of compliance with the ADA and the way in which we were treated is especially disappointing, to put it mildly.

I am very sorry to hear about your experience at Wren's Nest Baking Co., and we appreciate you sharing your experience with us so that we can better train our team to support our guests with disabilities. I invite you to contact us directly at [email protected] so that we can hear more about the situation. Thank you for letting us know about the situation, and I hope to talk with you soon.

Everything I've tried at this place has been delicious - both sweet and savory items. Their flakey pie dough is so good. I can't wait to try their cinnamon rolls. I bought a loaf of their molasses bread and it was such a treat getting fresh baked artisan bread!

Hands down the BEST GF bakery I’ve tried. The rest of my family is not GF and it’s one of their favorite bakeries, period. So thrilled this place opened and wish them continued success. Every single thing I’ve had has been delicious.

As of early November they’re still in soft launch!

(Sadly, upstairs outdoor seating not open until spring)

Great food. Our favorites were the buffalo chicken kolache and ham and cheese savory hand pies. We also tried the sausage and egg kolache; and the beef empanada - good as well.

See the pic of their sign for their entire menu but note that’s not necessarily what they have in the cases every day. Lots of great savory & sweet options though (lots of cookies, cakes, etc when we visited).

This place has plenty of gluten free options, but if you have any other allergies/dietary restrictions, it’ll be a tough experience for you.

I’m celiac with a severe dairy allergy. Out of the 3 times I’ve gone to this bakery, the dairy free options have been very limited. The hardest part is the untrained staff unable to confidently confirm whether something is dairy free, even after showing us their internal allergen list. I find this shocking considering the allergy concerned nature of the celiac/gluten free community.

Not all menu items on the board are available. There is a massive menu, but going in for something in particular and being able to walk out with it has been difficult for me. Not to mention there are no prices posted. If this experience had been better I would be more willing to pay $13 for a fresh loaf of gf bread.

Thank you, Chaney, for vising Wren's Nest Baking Co. and for your feedback. We are an exclusively gluten-free bakery and are celiac friendly as there is no gluten in any of our products. We also do offer several dairy-free options, including our vegan chocolate chip cookie, most of our muffins, and both of our bread loaves among other items, and we are regularly trying new recipes to offer even more vegan and dairy-free options. When we know that there is a specific dietary need for any of our guests, our team will regularly check with the bakers to verify the ingredients and to make recommendations for specific allergies or other dietary restrictions. All of the prices are available on the menu cards located in the bakery, and while we have run out of several items throughout the day due to the incredible response from our community, we are working on ways to increase production to make even more options available to our guests. We do appreciate the feedback, and we hope that you will return to Wren's Nest Baking Co. as we continue provide even more options in the future.

Incredible sweet and savory options in a cozy environment- this place is DEFINITELY worth a visit! The peach cardamom muffin and mushroom gruyère quiche were my favorites, but everything was so delicious. I can’t wait to go back 😍

Thank you, Rachel! We are so glad you enjoyed what you tried!

I am so excited this bakery finally opened! I just went today and ordered a ham and Swiss hand pie, a quiche, a zucchini spice muffin, a soft pretzel, and a loaf of multigrain molasses bread to go. I can honestly say these were the best pastries I've had since being diagnosed with Celiac disease! Even my husband, who has not issues with gluten, loved his hand pie and quiche! :) The pastry was exactly the right texture and flavor.

Every item I ordered was delicious, but the hand pie and soft pretzel were easily my favorites. Again, the texture and flavor were spot-on, exactly what I have been missing since going gluten-free. Please check this place out, order some delicious food, and check out the amazing ambiance of the dining area!

Thank you so much, Kathryn! It was a true pleasure serving you and your family, and we are so honored to hear how much you enjoyed your meal and your time with us!

Run don't walk to brand new Wren's Nest Baking Co. that opened today in Tacoma, a block from Point Defiance! Everything is GF!! They have a huge selection of sweet and savory baked goods and drinks in an incredible space where you can relax and enjoy with giant windows and two fireplaces.

Our favorites included cherry hand pie and chocolate pot de creme, and others enjoyed the quiches, cheesecake, cookies, rice krispie treats, and soft pretzels (these were so popular they sold out early). Can't wait to go back and taste everything else and enjoy the vibe; please support this new local business where employees were so warm and welcoming! It's now the first GF bakery in Tacoma! Highly recommended! ❤🐦
