Thanks Donna for baking such a delicious keto/gluten free cake. My wife is doing Keto and I'm celiac, so no gluten and no sugar, yet this cake was fantastic. Donna took the time to answer ALL of my questions (and there were many), If everything tastes as good, I highly recommend her baked goods to anyone with dietary restrictions or who just wants to eat healthier.
Great café—super welcoming and family-run. Everything is made fresh, from the bread to the baked goods. You really can’t go wrong with a sandwich or the daily special. Today’s special was a thick Belgian waffle with crispy chicken. I went with the pesto cobbler, which was really good, and the Dubai brownie, which was also excellent. You can truly taste the care and from-scratch effort put into everything.
This place is AMAZING. The food is delicious and you’d never even know it was gluten free! Donna is incredibly warm, kind and welcoming. We witnessed several people come in and ask about Celiac safe foods and she was so kind and assuring. Donna is so talented at creating delicious, safe-to-enjoy gluten free delicacies. I cannot recommend her hospitality nor her delicious creations enough! Can’t wait to come back!
If you eat gluten free, this is your bakery. Hands down, the BEST cakes I have ever had that use alternate flour. These cakes are not dry and crumbly, but soft and flavorful. Whatever baker Donna is doing is brilliant. We ordered a double chocolate layer cake, which was a huge hit with the entire family, despite the slide that happened in a 4 hour drive. The toasted almond Bundt cake is positively dreamy. If you love almond/almond flavoring like we do, you MUST get one. Your group will gobble it up in a hurry.
Yum! Calling all my gluten free foodies this hidden gem is the perfect spot. While it's a little far from me Donna makes you feel like family every time you walk in. The first time I ever came we had a great conversation. The homemade gf bread is delicious so you must try a Panini when you visit. The baked goods are so yummy and if you call in advanced she can make some items such as cinnamon rolls etc. I have yet to try them but it's next on my list. The ube bundt cake has been my favorite baked good so far! If you aren't use to coming here you may overlook it as there isn't a larger sign signifying where it actually is.
