"Originally called BabyCakes, Erin McKenna’s Bakery — known for its vegan and gluten-free baked goods, in particular cupcakes — closed after nearly 20 years. Outposts at DisneyWorld and in Los Angeles both remain open." - Melissa McCart

"You wouldn’t know it from the cute, unassuming exterior, but Erin McKenna revolutionized healthy baking (sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true). Inside the bubble gum pink, ‘50s-inspired interior, you’ll find punk rock girls serving delicious cupcakes, cookies, and pastries, many of which are gluten- and sugar-free."

"Everything at this Lower East Side bakery is gluten-free and vegan. All of the sweeteners and frostings are made with natural dyes, giving its cakes and baked goods a pastel-colored hue. Donuts, teacakes, brownie bits, and cookies are available for local delivery through Postmates and other platforms. Nationwide shipping is available through the bakery’s website for cakes, doughnuts and more. Outside of Los Angeles, New York City, or Orlando areas, cakes arrive unfrosted with the frosting on the side.." - Leah Rosenzweig, Eater Staff

How is this place still living in the early days of vegan baking. These two dry cupcakes were almost $18. One is chocolate and other is lemon it tasted like oil, very disappointed. There are too many good places to try in the city unfortunately won’t be coming back. I did had a lemon loaf a long time ago that was tasty.

This place truly makes gluten free and vegan dreams come true. I have been to the location in Orlando, but this one has so much more variety of goodies. I got one of their day old half off deal (a container of two slices of banana bread and a slice of lemon blueberry bread) and it was just as good as fresh! The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for making my visit to NYC so special!

One of my favorite bakeries in the city. Every year my family gets me my birthday cake from Erin McKenna’s and I absolutely love it. I’m a chocolate girl and their brownie cakes are to die for! Occasionally when I’m in the area. I would stop by a grab a cupcake or two because why not! I look forward to eating my birthday cakes every year and can’t wait for this one! Many options and variations of desserts to choose from, if you’re in the area. You have to stop by!

My fiancé and I were walking around the area and we unexpectedly stumbled upon this bakery. Initially we were just going to get him a donut but then we realized they were gluten free and allergy friendly so we got the iced lemon blueberry loaf and biscuits as well. The Samoa donut was amazing, soft and moist! The loaf was really good as well. When you go to most gluten free bakeries they over compensate for the lack of gluten with sugar and I usually can’t eat much of it but here they use a good balance of sweeteners, as well as natural ones. I can’t wait to try more items in the future!! The employees were very nice and helpful.

1.plain "bagel" is not a bagel. it doesn't taste good, and is dense and dry. Should be called a scone and have a different shape because so dense and not fluffy at all 2.lemon donut: very good 3.coconut donut: nice texture of the frosting, quite sweet, couldn't eat more than 1/3 4.pumpkin spice loaf (fall): dense (not fluffy) but soft and great flavors. only can eat 1/3 or 1/2 in one sitting. good overall and satisfies your sweet tooth. Could omit frosting, doesn't add much apart from make it sweeter 5.chocolate/brownie bite: dense, very rich, sweet, small and satisfying (almost a bit small), one more bite would be ideal 6.mocha donut: donut base tastes like lemon. frosting taste like coffee. expected the frosting to be crunchy because of the "crumble"-like texture but it tastes like frosting and is smoother than one may think. Very pretty 7.sprinkle (pink) vanilla donut: very good donut, although quite sweet and, once again, dense (not fluffy or light). almost a hint of lemon, perhaps from cross contamination. Took off the frosting 8.chocolate crumb cake : decadent, sweet and rich. syrup glaze on top (chocolate). sort of syrup that is unnecessary. The cake tastes a bit off, probably because I'm used to regular chocolate cake with wheat flour? looks fluffier than it tastes. the top of the cake is sweeter but more moist than the bottom (almost as if cooked in 2 times). too sugary. 9.jalapeño cheddar biscuit: disgusting. dry, tastes off. doesn't preserve well. gross. Staff is friendly, baked goods are ideal for a tea party, dessert for yourself or a gift

Mission: Put together a selection of vegan goodies for my son's 40th birthday. The process: Not being in Manhattan, in fact, being in NC, I had to Google vegan bakeries and there's quite a few. After viewing a dozen websites, I called a half dozen to inquire about building a spectacular selection for a surprise gift. I read over a hundred reviews to determine options and finally came up with what I felt was a perfect variety. Ordering was . . . . a piece of cake, so to speak. We ran through the menu items, decided on quantities and talked about the delivery. I requested pictures before they delivered and they complied and are attached to this review. Courteous, professional, timely and customer focused, and, by the way, the cakes, brownies and cookies were, as I heard, quite delicious. I'm only sorry I didn't get to try anything. 15/10 recommended, you should try it.

The staff was very friendly and helpful with providing recommendations. The agave chocolate crumble cake was fudgy, moist, and flavorful. Unfortunately, the carrot cake cupcake was dry and underwhelming. Looking forward to trying the donuts the next time I go.

Absolutely loved this bakery! I've been waiting years to visit here on pilgrimage from the UK, and got to see the newly refurbished shop interior on the day it reopened in January 2020. Definitely not disappointed - there was a wide range of gluten-free and vegan cakes, cookies and doughnuts available. All of them were great! The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and served with the biggest of smiles. Kinda wish I lived across the pond so that I could visit more often, but at least I know now that I'm baking correctly from the recipe books! Looking forward to visiting again someday soon.

their staff is amazing. they're always so friendly. their TGTG is so worth it!! their desserts are so fresh and yummy. The vibe is so cute! I always stop by when i'm in the area.

1. This location is closed. 248 Broome St NYC 2. The last time it was reviewed by the NYC Board of Health it received 87 points and was slapped with a "grade pending." That means it had enough points to force a closure. 3. The store could not be brought up to standards so it closed. 4. Now the bakery is on Goldbelly but does not deliver. 5. There is no information as to where the product is baked. How is this allowed?! No inspections? No oversight? Frightening!

I happened upon Erin McKennas in my search for a gingerbread decorating kit around the holidays that I could bring to my friend's house for her daughter. I was skeptical how good the cookies would taste given that this bakery is gluten free, but the cookies were delicious and we honestly wouldn't have even known they were gluten free. The kit itself was also very cute - there was frosting and sprinkles and a dozen very large gingerbread men to decororate. My only complaint is that they were not ready for the time I had placed the order for and I had to wait a good thirty minutes for them to pull it together, but it was the holidays after all. After trying the gingerbread cookies, I'm definitely interested in coming back and trying more things here!

Little hidden gem that serves those with allergies. All allergenic bakery so we have nothing to worry about when we get something from here. This is was my yearly birthday trip and I'm never disappointed. If you haven't came here yet, it's a must. Even if you aren't GF/DF/egg free, peanut free or whatever free, their donuts, tea cakes, cupcakes are just delicious. And if my 18 year old eats them then you know they are good.

To the staff, bakers, Maddy especially, everyone. I'd like to seriously thank everyone for making this dream come true. To be super honest my lil one honestly wasn't able to taste it (due to a series of unfortunate events and a lot of build ups the day ended bad).... But I'm not going to dwell on that. What I'm here to do is right a review...that's what I do! Seriously from the first day I was stressing about finding a "school approved" super extra duper vegan cupcakes. Since I was planning my daughter's school approved daycare lil tiny party since her actual bday is tomorrow. I never realized how hard it is to seriously search for vegan bakeries ESPECIALLY IN THE CITY. It's like when I'm not looking for anything vegan I actually SEE IT but as an option! When I am looking it's like finding a needle in a haystack! It's actually difficult finding anything vegan! But after dealing with Erin's team..seriously I was THAT customer calling and asking questions...Maddy and her staff made everything just smooth while ordering through the PHONE! I didn't even visit to place an order! I literally spoke as if we were buddies talking! The process was easy! Yet I asked a lot!... The ambiance is very tiny and small styled cafe ish establishment. Since you're only meant to place and order and go. So I didn't stay too long. The presentation of my cupcake... my daughter's cupcake was and is beautiful! I ordered the vanilla pink frosting cupcake. It was just amazing.... I am depressed. To be honest. I'm on my way home and I honestly felt like I wasted this establishment time because I ordered this one special cupcake for my daughter. I got extremely excited especially when I was given tips on how to preserve it from getting spoiled ... thanks to the cashiers. I literally went across the street and grabbed several ice cups and made a cocoon surrounding this masterpiece... I went through a lot... for nothing because this bakery customer service overall is PERFECT. I'm deeply upset I couldn't present this to my daughter due to unfortunate stressful event.. Thank you everyone and Please support this fine vegan establishment this local mast

The space is small but there are many options here. Everything is vegan, gluten-free and kosher! I personally am not gluten-free but I know that many vegans are always looking for more vegan and gluten-free spots so if that is you I would definitely recommend stopping in! I think for gluten-free I was pleasantly surprised with the texture of the breads and felt that all the flavors were there! The cashier was nice and very patient with the indecisive person in front of us.

As a person who happily consumes wheat, gluten, dairy, egg, soy, and nuts, I was surprised to find Erin McKenna's to be incredibly delicious! We a slice of their tiramisu cake, which was delectable! The cake part was more dense than your average cake, which I actually enjoyed! The frosting topping was a bit hardened, possibly bc we came by at 6:30pm; maybe they're fresher in the mornings? Either way, it was still yummy. My biggest complaint is the price - our single slice of cake was $14! Their website menu lists it at $11.75, so I'm not sure if it included tax, a credit card fee, or if the price had just gone up. But yikes, I don't think we can afford to go back too often!

The best Gluten Free treats ever! I have been to a few of their locations (Santa Monica, WDW-Disney Springs, and Larchmont Village). They have such a great variety!. Carrot cake bites were devine. Try them out also on the Too Good To Go app and you never know what will be your new favorite items.

Yelp
Caveat - I tried the pastries here from a "too good to go" order so it was an assortment of pastries that were leftover (maybe adverse selection?). The desserts were good for a vegan bakery but you can definitely tell that they're not your normal brownie, cookie, or donut. It's helpful to go in with some set expectations that the desserts are not going to taste the way you expect. The pastries that we had were a bit dense and dry.

I just have two words to sum up my experience: shocked and disappointed. I'm hoping yesterday was an off day. I stopped in to buy my brother a pastry because he is supposed to be eating gluten-free, and I'm vegan. I had been in a few times before and was generally satisfied with what I had gotten. I was floored when the cashier ran up the small cupcake at $7.95 and even more shocked when he put it in a baggie. Of course, it got smushed on the way home because that is what happens when you put a cupcake in a baggie. I should have protested, but frankly, I was tired, and somehow, I was sure it would have been to no avail: any business putting 8 dollar cupcakes in baggies doesn't give out single boxes. I'm shaking my head as I type. I figured, I'll just eat it rather than give him a damaged cupcake. To my horror, it was dry. It tasted old. I have already talked the place up, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do because before eating the dessert, I just told my brother to let me know when he could go in person. Now what? I don't want a repeat experience. I'm hoping there's an opportunity for redemption because I'm pretty much out of options. What a shame! I had hoped that trying something new would live up to the past and the reviews, but this was a big letdown.

My wife is gluten free/dairy free. I am neither. This is one of the few spots where we can both enjoy everything they have to offer. Service can occasionally be lacking and atmosphere is hard in such a small space, but those are not problems. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Really wanted to get something sweet, so I decided to stop by here since I was in the area. Was welcomed with rude service and was ignored when I walked in. So that honestly really turned me off. I got the strawberry cupcake and it honestly tasted a little undercooked. Good frosting though...

Absolutely love it here! As someone with a ton of allergies, I have never been able to walk into a bakery and order whatever I wanted! It's always an amazing experience and the food is DELICIOUS! Highly recommend the cinnamon rolls

Would not good back here. The cake I ordered days in advance came in the wrong colors, they have white round vanilla cake stock photo, but sent me a pink and Purple Heart shaped cake. The shop said on the phone they don't do custom cakes and will send you whatever cake they have in but they don't tell you that while ordering. plus the item is listed with customization notes section? Attached photos of random specs of other color Icing on the cake, the icing separating and having holes, the bottom piping in unfinished. The cake looks inedible and the shop did not apologize, blamed the delivery driver and would not help me at all. Couldn't serve this cake. Waste of $100.

Very cute lil shop with so many options. The ladies behind the counter were just as excited as I was about all the options I had to choose from. 100000/10 The jalapeño cheddar roll was my absolute FAVORITE

It's hard to find gluten free and vegan let alone done this well. Maple donut was a winner, as was the thin mint. The vanilla cupcake was good (be sure to let it warm up a bit) but the girl scout type thin mint was better. Big yea! On the donut. It's a tiny shop with a lot of variety for the size.

Enjoyed a variety of donuts & pastries, enjoy that it's gluten free and vegan! Flavor is good with friendly service, love these lil treats for breakfast & dessert!

I'm naturally skeptical of any bakery that is gluten free or vegan but I will openly admit that Erins is the first bakery that has changed my opinion and I would definitely be back. I highly recommend this place if you have someone in your life that have these dietary restrictions or if you just want to try something new and visit this awesome bake shop. The mini muffins, donuts, and cakes were very moist, flavorful, and the perfect balance of light and fluffy and just dense enough. It really was worth the stop.

I'm a huge fan of Erin McKenna's bakery. However, the last two times I made the long commute there, I arrived to find a closed store (despite Apple Maps showing them as open). This is extremely discouraging! Totally understand that things happen, but please let your customers know! Shouldn't be a coin toss as to whether or not you will be open when I arrive!

Surprisingly moist , delicious doughnuts over here . After a not easy decision to keep chametz away for this Passover, I was craving some edible sweet ,so I went downtown and was impressed . Took the blueberry & the maple ones. Again. I was impressed as I am not a fan of the gluten free (non celiac people) thing. Next Passover . See you then .

I've been wanting to try vegan pastries and came along Erin McKenna's Bakery in lower manhattan near Grand street. I tried a little bit of all their desserts, donuts, cookies, cupcakes, and brownie bites. My favorite by far is their brownie bites. Everything else was good, but not as good as their brownie bites. Vegan, nut free (at least everything I got were). It is a little pricey, but that's normal as vegan is typically a little pricier. However, I wouldn't pay as much since I though it was just good and have had way better vegan desserts. I also wish the store was a little bigger. It was very small and hard for even 5 customers to move around inside. Nonetheless, the food is good and the service was great!

Erin McKenna's is such a wonderful place to grab a treat after dinner or perhaps a reward after a long work day. It's a small shop but it has lots of charm and delicious treats. Erin McKenna's is located in an area with lots of shops, eateries and steps away from public transportation. When you arrive, they have a cute spot out front where you can enjoy one of their delicious pastries. I found the chefs to be very friendly and welcoming. I had a hard time choosing but eventually I selected the red velvet and carrot cake cupcakes. It was had to chose as Erin McKenna's has many options to choose from. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend that you give Erin McKenna's a try. The carrot cake cupcake was my favorite, it might end up being yours as well.

Hard to find bakery since the store awning says nothing on it. The bakery itself is extremely small. It has two tables that have two chairs each. When we came in no one greeted us. One of the workers was sitting at one of the tables but when we walked in they got up and went to the back where the employees are. There were a variety of donuts and cakes. Nothing has a price on it. While looking at the display all the employees were silent. Still no one asking us if we needed help. We purchased a coffee cake slice and an Oreo donut. I had the donut which was soft and crumbly. It does have an unexpected citrus flavor to it. I'd give them another try

Bagel was crazy hard, they all just stared for sometimes when we asked that question. The Erin McKenna's in LA was much better/nice

It's always great to find a tasty gluten free bakery. The Samoa donut was so tasty! I would come back for it again! Service was friendly and quick.

Sarah K.

I used to love coming here for their lemon loaf. So moist and bright. but I think it's quickly heading downhill. Like, what is a $7 slice of lemon loaf doing with half the icing gone? It was also very dry and generally didn't look like what it used to in its prime.

Kiana L.

Yelp
I really enjoyed the Maple donut I got. The texture was cakey and the donut itself was not too sweet. The bagel was very crumbly and also had a cakey texture. I would not get the bagel again but if I was in the mood for donuts I would come back. A huge plus is that they cater to so many dietary restrictions and allergies!

Even though I am not gluten free this bakery is amazing. How about a soamoa donut! Like the Girl Scout cookies but better. So many great gluten free items to choose.

SO happy to find a GF, Vegan bakery that taste amazing. We had the veggie bun, everything bagel, cinnamon roll and cinnamon donut...all good. The sales person was so sweet and excited for me that I discovered a GF place.

Yelp
Excellent service, very COVID conscious, clean and fun neon pink lights. I like that all the desserts here that I have tried do not taste artificial and are not overly sweet. I am more of a savory person so when I have a dessert, I do not like it to be overwhelming. All of the items served here are kosher and refined sugar-, gluten-, wheat-, soy-, dairy- and egg-free. A lot of my loved ones have a lot of dietary restrictions and this is a great bakery to have on my list for birthday celebrations/occasions. I also think that its great to make healthier decisions and without dietary restrictions, why not eat something that is healthier for you? The coconut heart shaped cookies were delicious. The coconut was not overwhelming or overpowering as a lot of coconut desserts are. It was nice to enjoy with a cup of tea at home. The cookies and cream donut. By the look of the donut, I was astonished by the taste. The donut was incredibly moist. Something reminded me of the texture of an apple cider donut but better. It did have a cake like consistency. Each second had a different flavor and consistency. My favorite go to item from this bakery is the mint cookie sandwich! The mint was also not overpowering, cookie very moist. I look forward to visiting again in the future to try the chocolate!

Their maple donut was delicious! You couldn't tell it was gluten free. Great spot for when you're craving something sweet.

I ordered a cake for my fiancé birthday to pickup on may14th 2023 I ordered a vanilla cake with chocolate icing. I get there at 10:00 am. which in when I am supposed to pickup the cake. first of all they put the wrong frosting on they put , vanilla instead of chocolate , and it was not even ready at 10:00am so I had to wait until they scraped off the vanilla and refrost with chocolate. unfortunately the vanilla was not completely taken off so it was chocolate icing over the vanilla. It was so odd like having 2 frostings, so then they give me the box half open because it was not ready so it did not get refrig so I had to be super careful with the icing. they make a big deal about ordering 48 hours in advance and the cannot even have the item ready or done correctly? Because the frosting was just put on I could not put on car floor with a box half open it seemed very unsanitary so I put it on the seat and hit a bump and the icing comes off so I have to go back..this is an extra 40 minutes of my time.. . so I take the cake to the party which I am late to because of all the mishaps and it is terrible..this cake costs $75 really so I call baby cakes on Sunday and ask for a full refund and they give me 1/2 back and start blaming me for what happened to the icing. if this cake was ready on time and refrigerated this would have not happened. I have been buying from baby cakes since they opened and I have to say this cake did not taste fresh. I have never in all the years ever complained . I even bought a cake 5 years ago which everyone raved about. they claim they are so busy but when I showed up at 10:00 am there was no line they sell gf bagels I would skip this place and go to modern bread the gf are 1/2 the price and they are much nicer there The manager on the phone thought she was doing me a favor giving me a little more than 1/2 off but they totally did not get the order right and it did not taste fresh. then she says she told me the cake needs to be out of the refrig for 20 minutes which I do not believe she did. Anyway my fiancé informed me the cake was out for more than 20 minutes and still tasted the same. He also did not like one frosting over the other if I was not celebrating a bday I would have not taken the cake. unfortunately this will be my last trip to baby cakes. It is not the same place and terrible quality. fyi I bought it to my sister house who is gf and asked her if she wanted to keep part of the cake. she was like no way. It seems like a big hassle to pay $75 for a cake. While I appreciate them giving me $40 back based on the circumstance I think I should have gotten a full refund

I am not at all familiar with the gluten free or vegan scene so I came across Erin McKenna's bakery by doing a google search for best GF bakeries in the city. I placed an advance order through them for a small birthday celebration. Their customer support was very responsive via email answering my questions about the menu and my order arrived on time the day of the party. I always like to try as many items off the menu as possible when I'm ordering from a new place. I ordered a dozen of the brownie bites, a dozen mini donuts (assorted flavors), a dozen mini cupcakes (all vanilla cake with assorted frostings) and a dozen cookies (chocolate chip, thin mints and black & white). Some of the items were really good, others were just average. The brownie bites were bigger than I was expecting - almost like small brownie muffins. They were pretty tasty and very chocolatey but a little dry. I tried a coffee crumb mini donut and really enjoyed it. I think the donuts were the biggest hit since they all went. I also really liked the salted caramel frosted mini cupcake. The cookies were the least favorite item. The chocolate chip cookies were very bland. The thin mint was good. I didn't try the black & white - someone said it was very dense but others seemed to like it. I don't know if it's because they are GF and vegan but the cookies were very hard and flat. Overall, I think the food was a hit with the group and I would order from here again if I had to accommodate someone who was GF or vegan.

I went there tonight to buy a cake for her birthday unfortunately no one knows how to write a greeting on the cake. they said they are not trained to do it. Thankfully another staff step up and did it. Im not expecting much. But when I saw it I was amazed. superb job Forgot to get her name(looks like latina.brown skin black hair). But many thanks you save my night! plus cake is delicious

I have been here twice and both times have been amazing! As someone with a celiac disease, gluten free baked goods are hard to come by in my home town. Whenever I am in the area, I will be making a point to stop by! I would definitely recommend the cookie sandwich, crumb cake, or cinnamon roll!

Raymond C.

Yelp
I always walked by this small coffee shop on my way to work, but there was always people waiting on line. Finally, I came here on a weekend, still had to wait outside, but it was worth it. I tried a cookies and cream vegan donut. The donut itself had a texture of a pound cake, similar to a apple cider donut. Though I ordered a cookies and cream donut, I didn't really get that taste. I couldn't really pinpoint what type of flavor it was aside from the sugar taste. Even though it didn't resemble much like the flavor, I'm really amazed by the fact that it is vegan and gluten free. This changed my view on vegan desserts because of how good it tasted despite not using any dairy. I would definitely come back and try their ice coffee and other cupcakes and donuts.

My experience at Erin McKenna's bakery was one of the best I've ever had. My sister, who has celiac disease (a condition that requires her to be gluten free) inspired me to go check it out. We got the lemon tea cake, coffee crumb cake, chocolate chip cookie, carrot cupcake, and a salted caramel donut all of which were delightful. I highly recommend going there and plan to go back soon.

This bakery is absolutely amazing! Everything is vegan and lots of other special diet friendly. Their doughnuts and cupcakes are just to die for. Highly recommend the caramel cupcake and Samoa doughnut, but you can't go wrong with anything. They were very kind when it took me a moment before I made a big order and answered all my questions!

As a food allergy parent, Erin McKenna's is godsend! Everything is delicious! I try to come in every time I'm in the city. Thank you!

Came by to get some sweets to share with a tattoo store. Every single staff member here was very friendly. Everything here is delicious. I thought that walking into a vegan bakery would be bad for me since I'm allergic to nuts and soy, so I assumed the substitute must be those, but to my surprise, it wasn't! I got a bunch of donuts and red velvet cupcakes and a carrot cupcake. The red velvet cupcake had too many toppings. I would've preferred less sprinkles. Less is more. The chocolate topped donut was SO GOOD. I thought I'd love their espresso donut, but that actually wasn't my favorite. Their carrot cupcake is the best I've ever had. I tried a few of their donuts and they were all so good. Wish there was one closer to Long Island! Their chocolate chip cookies are also perfectly thin with the right amount of chewiness. Even on a cold rainy day, the bakery kept their inside temp nice and warm to keep the cookies fresh. Can't praise them enough. Definitely try this place out!

I came here on a Saturday evening to pick up a few treats. Great bakery for all of your gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free sweet cravings. I got the Everything Bagel, Pumpkin Loaf Slice, Iced Red Velvet Cookie, Iced Pumpkin Cookie, and a Chocolate Dipped Coconut Cookie. Everything is good and satisfies that sweet craving while sticking to your dietary needs! Definitely worth a stop Next time I'd like to try a donut, a cinnamon roll if they have that, and maybe a scone!

I think I'll just visit in person and buy on-site when possible. I received this in the mail. It was difficult to tell what was what. The brown cubes were melted and smashed together. The box didn't have an ice pack or anything to keep them from breaking down. It wasn't something I could serve and we were not sure we could eat them. As mentioned, it's perhaps best to buy certain items in person. This was a waste for us.

Cute harmless bakery. Have any kind of allergy or preference? They probably have something satisfying for your sweet tooth here. No dairy or gluten or anything possibly bad for you. Cookies and cupcakes are made of pixie dust and donuts are handcrafted inhouse by vegan elves. No idea what the ingredients are but my sister loves their cookies, chewy and subtly sweet with bits of chocolate. I find some of their pastries a bit dry and crumbly but overall very satisfied and impressed by how they try to make healthy options for dessert. Chill vibes too.

I must say my expectations were really high but I don't think as if my experience would equal to all the great things that are being said. Samoa Donut - slightly dry and way too much coconut. I could barely taste the flavors of the icing on top. Speaking of icing, all of the cupcakes that were ordered have that pudding-like taste which is nothing close to a buttercream or cream cheese traditional frosting so that turned me off. I tried a piece of my friend's lemon cake and the texture of the cake was a bit grainy. Shoutout to the staff though. They deserve all the stars! Very welcoming and helpful in answering any questions my friends and I had.

Great little spot on Broomewith outstanding gluten free treats. Went today when they had 30% off renovation sale which was a big vibe. Highly recommend. In particular - the vanilla donuts and samoa donuts. Gluten free everything bagel with vegan chive butter was hot fire. Shoutout ERIN for being real

Hubby picked me up three items that came out to $21. They threw them all in a small bag. They were stale and hard as a rock! I've been to this location a few times and the one in disney springs many times and being a long time vegan and newly diagnosed Celiac I was craving some sweets. What a shame! I am so upset I might even dispute it with my credit card company!
