What a find! Absolutely delicious donuts: perfect cakey moist texture, wonderful flavor and plenty of sweetness without being cloying (natural sweetness, not artificial at all). Even the non gluten-free family members were very impressed! You cannot tell it's gluten-free. Many items were vegan or dairy- or egg-free. We had the Maple and the chocolate with vanilla icing. So good. Will try some savories next time, too. Definitely worth a visit!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Lady at the counter was nice and super helpful. I told her that we drove quite a distance to check out their GF bakery since we have none close by and my kid has Celiac. She recommended a few other GF establishments that were near by that she recommended. We got their GF ham, cheese, and bacon sandwich among other pastries. It had more of a croissant texture and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again. Thanks for the good experience.

My maple donut was lovely. The cinnamon roll was flavorless, undercooked & heavy- unfortunately inedible. It’s hard to do gluten free items. I didn’t try anything else. Perhaps the other choices would have been more delightful.
