Crema's Take

This entirely gluten-free bakery and espresso bar in Traverse City has become a pilgrimage destination for people with celiac disease and dietary restrictions, finally offering a safe space to enjoy exceptional pastries and espresso drinks without compromise. The chocolate lavender donuts and thoughtfully crafted specialty pastries pair beautifully with their espresso-focused coffee program, all served in a welcoming atmosphere that feels genuinely intentional about accessibility rather than performative. Whether you're staying for a slow sit or grabbing something to go, Third Coast delivers the kind of warmth and skill that makes people drive back repeatedly—some traveling from out of town specifically for this place.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

We visited Third Coast for the first time on Saturday and immediately went back Sunday, too. The pastries, sandwiches, and espresso-based drinks are delicious and the service is top notch: kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. We can’t wait to make this a regular stop!

So delicious! I recently had to start eating dairy and soy free. We found this bakery and thought we’d give it a try. The chocolate lavender donut was so moist and flavorful - it’s not in the photo because I ate it so fast. It was pricey but worth every penny. The banana walnut…

Gluten free establishment, so safety is not a concern. Yay! Unfortunately, they only had sweet treats available and some of their bagels in a jar (w/ no lid?) I am traveling and would have liked to drop some $$$ to take some dedicated GF breads and items the that are more…
