"This gluten-free bakery has a big display case stacked with treats like banana bread, cupcakes, and lemon bars. It's impossible to leave the colorful Hill East rowhouse without a bag of treats—but get it to go because this bakery is so serious that the kitchen takes up three-quarters of the room and there are only a handful of seats. Make sure to grab their chai-spiced donut, coated in a sweet, spicy glaze that crumbles gently in your hand." - omnia saed

"Sweet Crimes Bakery is best known for its gluten-free baked goods, which might be why the kitchen takes up half of the Hill East rowhouse. But you don’t want to skip the coffee, especially the espresso that’s rich and strong without being overpowering. The brightly colored space is tiny enough that you’ll be bumping into other folks in line as you crane your neck to see the chalkboard menu. Given that, most folks take their drinks to go, but there is a fenced-in patio out back for nice days. Just make sure to ring the bell before you cut through the kitchen. " - tristiana hinton
"This gluten-free bakery serves the greasiest donuts we’ve ever had, and we mean that in the best way. Their chai-spiced donut is coated in a sweet, spicy glaze and crumbles gently in your hand. It’s one to get your jaw around because it’s as thick as a double patty cheeseburger. Pop into the Hill East rowhouse to grab a couple and a cup of coffee—but get it to go because this bakery is so serious that the kitchen takes up three-quarters of the room and there are only a handful of seats." - tristiana hinton
"Sweet Crimes is the bakery that will silence the gluten-free haters in your life. The brightly colored shop has just enough space for you to wiggle around other customers to examine the large display of cupcakes, lemon bars, and —all made in-house. Don’t expect to hang around, unless you’re up for chilling on the small back patio. The best move (especially on cold days) is to grab your bags full of goodies and accompanying and enjoy at home.
