tasty gf treats!

Place was crowded and line organization was lacking. The gluten free options were limited but was able to find a few items that were tasty. Good for a quick grab and go meal if you are on the run…

Gluten free person here! Had the gf chipper but overall felt disappointed- I think Georgetown cupcakes does a better gf cupcake. It was a bit dry and overly sweet.

We are gluten-free and dairy-free. If that's you, this may be a good option. Everything there is dairy-free, with some options also being gluten-free. Service is mid. If you call them, it often takes days for someone to answer or return a call. When you go in-person, the salesperson is knowledgeable but not necessarily warm. We've been several times for a sweet-giz. The brownies are moist and sweet (the one thats like a brownie sandwich with cream in the middle had more of a cake consistency and bot super moist like a brownie). The cookies that I've tried (oatmeal whoopie/cream pie and chocolate chip) were not very moist and only moderately sweet. I don't necessarily need a lot of sweetness, but my crew does, and they thought it was just ok. I recently ordered a birthday cake from them for my neice. After some back-and-forth and calling over 2 days, they accommodated our request to pick it up for hours earlier (they have a 72-hour pre-order rule, or something like that). Had someone answered our calls, it would've been easy to adjust the time, but i digress... The cake was pretty, and the sweetness was on-point. However, it was a bit dry, though. I bake dairy-free and vegan desserts myself, so I know it can be tricky to get the moistness correct, so I'm hoping that they will tinker with their formula to make their items a bit more moist. We would come back bc dairy-free and gluten-free options are slim pickings (it's usually just one or the other), but I would just stick with the brownie. I'm adding a photo of the cake, which was super cute. We purchased the toppers ourselves.

The must visit bagel/coffee place in Georgetown! From Food, service, atmosphere, this place deserves 5 stars. They have many breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches even gluten free options. I tried the mountain view on a maple salt & pepper bagel it was delicious! The bagel was so chewy, eggs were fluffy and lakes were crispy and salty & sweet bagel just made your morning happy! (Original serve in plain bagel so ask for maple salt& pepper bagel) If you are chocolate lover, try the chocolate babka muffin. Freshly baked and it has layers unlike regular muffin with chocolate swirls. I also tried the signature maple french Toast latte and it is not too sweet and not too hot just perfect combination of coffee with touch of maple taste. you should definitely try! Special shout out to Michael who is the best!!! He was so kind, friendly and helpful. He definitely made my morning even brighter:) Such a cute pink house you can’t miss it!

I love their banana bread French toast, it is so good!

We really enjoyed our first visit and have already recommended the bakery to others. Staff was friendly and efficient. The vegan hot chocolate on a stick was really fun and quite delicious. The vegan gluten free baked items we got were really tasty. The bagel I had was yummy, but quite small. Perfect for what I wanted, which was a snack, rather than a breakfast. It's a very small space. Few chairs to sit in with some space that could have been used for seating instead used for holding to go bags, etc. I am looking forward to going back and trying some of their vegan sandwiches.

Vibes are great, food is pretty good, good vegetarian and gluten free options. But service is very slow and makes a fair number of minor mistakes. It’s like being in a Paris cafe, both good and bad.

Jared Sahleen

Great food, reasonable gluten safe options, breakfasts are great, you have to try a Ted tart.

Chae

Sad to say that their gluten free cookie missed the mark and I was totally disappointed. It was too crumbly and had a grainy mushy texture mixed with chocolate chips and walnuts. Gross.

Tried two cupcakes from here, sadly among the worst I've ever had. The cake itself wasn't terrible, bland and flavorless with the gluten free option being fairly tough/dense (understandable). The frosting, though, was where is really tanked. I was super excited to try the whipped cream cheese frosting, however it tasted and felt like whipped lard - light while being bland, melty, and oily. Without the few flavored sprinkles on top there would have been no way of even determining the original intended flavors of the cupcakes. So disappointed, although maybe since it was the end of the night only their absolute worst cupcakes were left. Flavors and textures aside, the ratio of frosting-to-cake was spot-on.

Great experience with Sprinkles! Preordered a dozen online for a party (which was super easy), used the curbside pickup option (which was also super easy even though the store is in the heart of Georgetown), staff person who brought them out was very nice, and my colleagues absolutely LOVED the cupcakes. I purchased a mix of flavors and every single person said the one they had was amazing. I needed to accommodate both vegan and gluten dietary restrictions and those folks said their cupcakes were stunningly delicious as well! Thank you, Sprinkles!

Ivana Copelli

Cute pastry place with a lunch menu. Nice place for a quick stop. Chia seed bred available for gluten free but no pastries

audrey belot

Very good gluten free chocolate cheesecake.

Ingrid SC

Excellent choice for macaron lovers!! Incredible selection of delicious macarons & beautiful window displays!! Amazing vibe and atmosphere. Best part of it all macarons are gluten free; favorite being honey lavender.

Ivana Copelli

Cute little coffee shop that has a few Gluten friendly options but cross contamination is possible

Madeleine “Maddy” Easley

Had a really great time here! We loved that everything was vegan(by default vegetarian) and tasty! I got the tofu and wild mushroom bowl as a delicious gluten free entree. The group I was with also split the potato skins(also gluten free) that were amazing! My partner is not gluten free, but got the gluten free pasta with the bolognese with meatballs and a side salad. The meatballs are not gluten free but the consensus at the table was that they were yummy! Enjoyed the outside balcony ambiance and of course had to hit the dessert menu after our meal. Had the macarons since they were all gluten free and the berry cheesecake that was phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back!

Ivana Copelli

Cute and hip location. Friendly staff and gluten free options available for the gelato. Interesting and out of the ordinary flavours. Also doubles as a coffee house.

Sandra

Such wonderful people. I’m a newly-diagnosed celiac and it’s been hard. I ordered from Ted’s Bulletin on UberEats and the restaurant actually called me to let me know that one of the items wasn’t gluten-free. Then they went above and beyond to find me a safe substitute. The food was really good too!

Michaela

We were excited to try after reading some reviews about gluten free bread, but when we realized they didn’t have that option we flagged down the waiter to tell them we were leaving. The server was so curt and unnecessarily rude, not even letting me finish my sentence while I was apologetically explaining. Tables were so close together it was almost impossible to get in and out.

Jacquie D

Nice selection of gluten free pastries!

Chrissy L

Service and food were great! Several delicious gluten free options!

Dana Summers

Food was delicious - we is the breakfast sandwich on a croissant, salmon/Avacado egg sandwich, and a croque madame. They were all great! Grab a pastry too - the almond croissant and morning bun were fantastic. Service was very friendly, tables were cleared quickly, and lattes are yummy!! (Great gluten free menu)

Hope Williams

I love A Baked Joint. They are knowledgeable about gluten free food, and I had probably the best salad I’ve ever eaten (?) here. I love sitting out at the tables on a nice weather day. A great neighborhood spot! Can’t wait to try the gluten free cupcake.

Clay&Heather Sloan

Excellent bakery! Loved the gluten free options!

Barbara Hernandez

Amy Fettig

One of the best bakeries in DC - or anywhere!! The bread and pastries are exceptional - I never thought a whole wheat croissant could be that good! The baguettes stay fresh for days due to the fresh grind of the flour. And don’t miss the bird bread! I’m not gluten free and I still buy it.

Pretty terrible matcha for a place that is charging 7 dollars for it. Took 10 minutes for my drink to get made (after ordering it from the kiosk) while I watched others get their much more complicated orders get made. My matcha was a swampy green color that was not mixed very well, I don’t think this was very good quality matcha. Or maybe the barista was having a bad day. I don’t know. Don’t believe Google Maps when it says this is the highest rated cafe that you should go to. Outside and inside seating is non-existent; and the view from outside is not particularly nice. Also, the only gluten free thing is the Turkish Delight. Would skip this one frankly.

Lawren Wooten

Got a sun city on cinnamon raisin and tho most of it was tasty, the bacon was all fat...boyfriend had a gluten free sandwich and that was good.

Lois Baez

Anne Namuth

You can get a sandwich with “gluten friendly” bread. The staff is friendly and accommodating. But I would not say this is a gluten free place.

Carleigh Vollbrecht

Cute cafe, friendly staff, and tasty food. There were a few gluten free options, ordered the frittata and it was delightful. Plenty of options for those with no dietary restrictions.

This place was advertised as Glutenfree. After walking miles from my hotel and I offered 1 item. Bread . Great eggs.
