Celiac Friendly!

Virginia Messina

I love this place! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! Their baked goods are to die for. I especially love their cinnamon rolls, especially when they have the coffee Oreo one! Lots of caffeine options too. The atmosphere is also so cozy. I always bring my book and spend some time reading while indulging in treats! Everything is 100% gluten free. They also cater to other allergies as well. Just check the signage to see if it’s df, nut free, etc.

Gluten Free Bakery and Ice Cream Shop

Stopped by here while visiting family in the area. It's difficult for me to find quality gluten free items at home, so I try to stop at places when I have the chance. It is FANTASTIC and I can't wait to stop by again. The whoopie pie--- AMAZING. Next time I will absolutely stock up on those. The cookies were excellent, and I'm looking forward to the biscuits. I was able to freeze almost everything. Yes, a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in this case and it is QUALITY and absolutely worth it for me. Gluten free is always expensive, so it might as well be from a local bakery. Thank you for having this bakery!

This is an outstanding little place with great service and amazing gluten-free options with nice cocktails

Caitlyn Lac

As someone who cannot eat gluten without getting sick (non-celiac), I'm not sure how this place doesn't already have 5 stars. These are the best gf cupcakes I've ever had and trust me, I've had a lot of GF desserts. Even my brother who can eat gluten said they dont taste gf, thats how good they are. The salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal too.

Peter Wiernicki

Everything here is gluten free - and delicious! We went for the Dubai chocolate, a dark chocolate covered marshmallow, two vegan ice cream sandwiches, and an amazing pyramid shaped truffle that tasted of nutmeg and cardamom. I highly recommend this place.

I adored everything about this place. I arrived around 9:45am and there was a bit of a line in total I waited about 25 minutes to get inside. It is helpful to look at the menus while in line and know what you want once inside the bake shop. I had the strawberry rhubarb croissant a French toast flavored ice coffee and a macaroon and ginger and molasses cookie to go. The croissant and coffee were delicious and flavorful and were perfect for my walk around town. The inside of the establishment is clean and well decorated the staff are extremely friendly and pack everything beautifully. Later in the day I had my cookies and they were flavorful the ginger and molasses was listed as gluten friendly. This is a must try place if in mystic. I wanted to see the rooftop but it was closed for a private event.

Saw this on a list of best coffee in CT so I stopped in on my way to Boston. I loved the vanilla latte, but the sandwich truly blew me away. I ordered a chipotle breakfast sandwich and it was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. I loved the bread-it almost melted off the sandwich in the best way. The sandwich was well constructed and flavor profile was simply perfect, the cheese keeping the bacon well in tact. I also ordered a raspberry oatmeal bar and blueberry coffee cake at the suggestion of staff, which were great as well. They had a large selection of gluten free baked goods. The cafe is so cute and has tables inside and outside as well as a few couches inside. I’ll definitely be back!

Britany Barrow

Absolutely beautifully decorated gluten free chocolate cake for my daughter’s 4th birthday party! My daughter has celiac disease and it was incredible to find someone who not only can make celiac safe gluten free goods (100% GF kitchen), but also the best tasting, moist chocolate cake ever! ALSO, affordable. The entire cake disappeared at the party, no leftovers. 100% recommend! Thank you gluten free gringa ❤️

Jason Clay

Their cupcakes are always consistently amazing. Their gluten free options taste wonderful. Staff is always helpful and very friendly.

Natalia Provolo

I was very excited to support a local business and get goodies for my gluten free and dairy free friend for her birthday! However, I placed the order on 3/21/25, received confirmation but have never heard anything else. I have called and emailed multiple times! I even messaged them on fb. I am very frustrated and disappointed. From reading the reviews, it sounds like multiple people have experienced this issue in the past month.

Natalie Phoenix

Delicious food, plenty of gluten free options.

Robb Dunn

What an AMAZING find! The family and I were up this way for a tour of Oakridge Dairy and this place was recommended by the dairy guide. I am so glad we stopped in. My son is gluten free and they had so many options for him. The baked goods looked and tasted delicious. We had lunch and every sandwich was so good and fresh! I even got some things to go to have the next day. I will definitely be coming back.

Chet DiMauro

Everything about this little gem in town is amazing! The fact that they make the most delicious gluten-free pastries, and regular sweet items is remarkable. I know where my regular sweet craving will be from now on!

Krystal Thompson

I love going to Love Heart's! It's a small business that feels like a family. They put a lot of care and, yes, love into their food. Lots of gluten free and allergen free options. Really cozy space that you want to hang out in. The service is always friendly and everyone is really kind. The coffee is good and I love the English Muffin bread. Lots of character with some good eco friendly practices. Also the prices are much lower than other places in the area and comes with equal or better quality.

Congratulations! Your search for your wedding cake/dessert vendor has come to an end. The Zest team is incredible to work with. We were navigating some dietary restrictions (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, etc.), and Gabriella was incredibly patient answering all of our questions. Their communication was top notch. The on-the-go tasting still involved a conversation with Gabriella at their shop, and it was informative without feeling pressured or sales-pitchy. It was a fun experience that allowed me and my husband to have a fun little picnic and taste all the yummy items. The options available for cakes and desserts is truly incredible. There's something for every taste preference. Some highlights: The gluten free chocolate cake was incredible. The regular chocolate was also ROCKIN' with the chocolate mousse. The red velvet was moist and the cream cheese filling had a great zing to it. The chocolate sea salt caramel tarts were a major crowd pleaser (one guest said they could die happy because they had eaten it, and it was the best thing they've ever tasted). The s'mores cookies are so unique, and the mini whoopie pies are such a fun whimsical treat. The chocolate covered strawberries also received five star reviews across the board. Beyond taste, the team brought our vision for the cake to life. They nailed the Lambeth design from our inspo pics! Delivery was seamless on our end as well. Our biggest regret of the wedding is only getting a few bites of cake! We will be coming back for anniversaries to come to get some treats. From the bottom of our hearts (and stomachs) we recommend Zest!

Great cupcakes: tasty, fresh, lots of options. Especially love their filled cupcakes. If you need gluten-free, they have several to choose from.

Natasha Dehesh

Our entire family and friends (because we give many Stylish Spoon gifts) absolutely love these healthy products. Stylish Spoon is reliably delicious with their core oatmeal cups and also creative with their seasonal flavors. My kids (8 and 10) very much enjoy their oatmeal cups on the go and for breakfast. And I love the seeded bread. It makes me feel good to support this incredible female-owned local brand. The quality and taste is nowhere to be found within the gluten free

Thank you to Amber for being extremely careful about making my order gluten free. As a celiac, I'm very limited to where I can safely eat. Amber was very reassuring and the food was great. I did not get sick. The gf donuts are the best I've ever had! Thank you again!

Catherine Kalonia

Love love love Faith Cafe! Everything is delicious, especially their baked goods. Gluten Free never tasted sooo good!!

Annalee Morgan

has good gluten free options but also has a good range of regular cupcakes. I tried the cannoli and salted caramel and both were delicious

Ken S

Great local coffee shop. For their small store front they have a good amount of seating and seem to do a good amount of take-out business. They offer some of the best Gluten Free treats in the area and their fresh bagels and sandwiches are so much better than anything from the chain coffee shops. They are right near the train tracks in a lively part of downtown Stafford. But I have never been there when a train went by... Need to keep trying.

Courtney K

super yummy turkey sandwich and gluten free options! they also make vegan and gluten free cakes. Sarah made me a vegan carrot cake that was absolutely delicious!

Kelly Brooker

Great food and easy to see gluten free options

Cat Lash

Firstly I love the decor here. It’s so cute and fun but still plenty of open space and seating lending towards practicality as well. I got two kinds of bagged tea (including London fog which is my favorite) and I ordered a small custom blend of loose leaf tea. The order forms for tea mixes are convenient to use and they got my tea ready quickly even though they were fairly busy. Lots of beautiful and gluten free macaroons. Also smelled so nice in the shop.

Jonathan Santillo

Had a great meal at Marco Polo Pizzeria in New Haven! The gluten-free pizza was honestly one of the best I’ve had crispy, flavorful, and really satisfying. Also tried a gluten-free wrap and it was just as tasty. Super friendly staff and cozy vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

Sean W Patterson

Awesome specialty personal cakes (cupcakes). Great variety. Gluten sensitivity, sugar free and vegan options available. Very much worth a stop in and see.

Chelsea Tripp

Such a wonderful little cafe! The coffee was delicious. I bought one of their specials, pistachio tiramisu iced latte. We also got a BEC and their California BEC, and it was VERY good. Came out hot and very fresh. The service was wonderful and the girls were very attentive. They have vegetarian, gluten free, and keto options. Everything is organic (for those that care about that kind of thing)

Jamie O'Brien

This was our first time eating cupcakes from NoRA. I went here to get cupcakes for my husband's birthday since most places were closed that day. The cupcakes that my husband and daughter had said they were fantastic. I have celiac, and I had their GF sweetheart cupcake. Now, I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this was delicious. The cupcake was moist and not dry. The chocolate frosting delicious too. We will be back! Thank you for such delicious cupcakes!

Amazing for GF brunch

Jessica Alnaqeeb

The Kakery never disappoints! This review is long over due! Last minute on Valentines Day, I was able to get a beautiful assortment of cupcakes enjoyed by the parent leadership class my husband! From my son’s first birthday cake to preschool cupcakes … and everything in between this Kakery is my go to for Gluten Free delicious, moist, cupcakes to exist. The cake delish! To be eaten and enjoyed unapologetically!!!! The designs on her yummy baked goods are so cute! The small business, owner Donna, is accommodating and comes through!

Elena Conti

Bonkers is the best!!! We've had their cakes and cupcakes many times and all of the flavors and frostings are delicious and taste homemade. The quality is exceptional. The pie is also amazing and I can't wait to try the banana pudding. Highly appreciate that they are NUT FREE which is extremely rare to find, and also have vegan and gluten free options. Support this local business! 🧁🩷

Erik Sousa

I bought a dozen personal cakes for my son’s birthday, and they were absolutely amazing! My wife and daughter loved the chocolate chip gluten-free option, and the carrot cake, confetti, and a velvet cakes were a huge hit! I highly recommend Nothing Bundt Cakes!

Tara Wisniewski

Love love love thos coffee shop. We stop in every time we drive through from Chicago. The gluten free cinnamon cake is sooooooo good. This morning's orange chocolate latte and strawberry mocha latte were both excellent. Highly recommend this bakery and coffee shop. The gluten free German chocolate cupcake was also delicious.

Alexa Marie's Gluten Free Sweets on Streets made our wedding dessert dreams come true! As someone with gluten and dairy allergies, I was thrilled to find a pastry chef who could create a masterpiece that was both stunning and absolutely delicious. Monica went above and beyond for us, crafting a dessert that not only looked gorgeous but tasted incredible—and our guests couldn’t even tell it was gluten and dairy-free! Every detail was perfect, and we’re so grateful for her talent and dedication. Thank you, Monica, for making our special day even sweeter!

Cynthia Clifford

It was Very helpful to have a gluten free separate section. It would be helpful to have a no sugar added type section too if that's feasible, since that's what I was looking for but found with some difficulty. I was pleased to find almost every item on my list for my Mom's restrictive diet & mine. I couldn't find marble rye bread. The nice male employee I asked, knew where 2 out of the 3 items I was searching for. The self check out was easier to use since the last time I used it. I usually use the cashier line but the Self checkout looked updated & there were two attentive employees ready to help if I needed it. Overall I was pleased with my evening shopping trip.

I used to go to to this store back in 2018-2019 when I lived in Brookfield and back then it wasn’t that great. I just recently moved back to Brookfield last year and this is now my go to grocery store, the renovations are nice and it looks a lot better. I enjoy the food selection and I have to eat gluten free for dietary restrictions and they have a lot to choose from. They have a lot of different Katz products but I really wish they would consider finding Katz strawberry toaster pastries, they are my absolutely favorite thing to eat, they have so many Katz products I think maybe there’s a chance you guys can look into it? I am a regular and shop here twice a week or so. It is a nice grocery store no complaints, good prices too for things that I enjoy.

Love this restaurant when we come to the shore! It's a busy place but they move quickly. They have a very friendly and accomodating staff. They've increased their seating inside and out since we were here last. The food is delicious!! There are gluten free options which is hard to find in some places. They also have a nice little market for Greek olive oils and food. I highly recommend!

Karina Hernandez

Lady was so nice. Really good gluten free lemon bars. My gf is gf so yknow how that is ah ha ha…

Juliette Z

I have driven passed this place hundreds of times. After skipping breakfast, I gave it a shot. Well worth the visit and I now know what the hype is about. You’re not coming here for a Photo Booth wall, fancy tables, and bad food.. you are coming here for the friendly faces, fast service and GREAT food. It felt like I was at a friends house, and although the service was fast I did not feel rushed. Additionally, prices were set well. Bonus points for plenty of gluten free options.

Rebecca Bisland

Nora is amazing! For starters, everything she makes is delicious, especially the gluten free carrot cake. Her cakes are next level incredible. They taste as amazing as they look and boy do they look beautiful. Nora made the cake and cake-pops for my son’s first birthday. I asked her for an under the sea themed cake and she delivered a showstopper! Nora even offered us two different flavors (one for each tier) at no additional charge. Every detail was beautiful, even the teeth on the angler fish, everything was edible, and everything was delicious (even the “sand” and seashells). Nora is truly an artist and a pleasure to work with.
