MacKenzie Wehunt

Entire place is gluten free and TONS of dairy free options. They also have labels and stickers for other allergies and are knowledgeable. Had brunch and took home a bag of baked goodies. Will be stopping by again for brunch before leaving the area.

Gaurav Nirala

One of the best dedicated gluten free bakeries in the Cambridge area.

Meri Slaughter

I love this North End staple. They make a small selection of dairy and gluten free items daily - a coffee cake, chocolate chip cookie, and whoopie pie. Like everything else, they are available until they sell out. The coffee cake is my favorite! The cookie is not the best in town, but still good and I appreciate having the option. The whoopie pie is best eaten fresh. I appreciate this long-time establishment having some options for those with food allergies.

Delicious gluten free donuts! Friendly staff and great service

Sabina Sokol

I’m gluten and dairy free and was very excited about this place despite the mixed reviews. I got a brownie cupcake for $6 and it just tasted like extremely sugary dough. I was very disappointed and will not be coming here again.

Victoria Rivera

Really excellent bakery and the staff is so kind. The baked goods might seem like they have a slightly odd consistency if you aren’t used to gluten free food but they are about as good as I have found, and better variety than just about anywhere. My celiac child’s favorite place.

Jacquelyn Whiting

Delicious! SO many gluten free options. What a find.

Helen Quinn Pasin

Great place! I'm not gluten free, but really enjoy eating here and am grateful to have a good place to bring the GF people in my life. Nice options, big portions, reasonable prices, and an extensive bakery. Great customer service. They seem LGBTQ+ friendly and decorated for Pride.

Every single thing we ordered what amazing. Best gluten free food I've had in my 8 years of being diagnosed with Celiac disease

Erin

Discovered this hidden gem today. I'm from out of town but the trip was worth it!! I had ordered a breakfast sandwich on the gluten.Free everything toast with sausage, egg and cheese. I was so excited to have another gluten-free bread option. Besides traditional white, the everything bread was very flavorful. Coffee was also great! Check home some gluten free sweets... gluten free chocolate chip cookies, seven layer bars in a gluten, free funny bone

I never thought, after being diagnosed with Celiac, that I'd get to enjoy a butternut donut the way I did as a kid. It was a staple of my childhood that I didn't know I missed until I got a chance to try it again, and it was 10/10. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone who is Gluten Free. I've had no gluten flare, and I'm highly reactive. And it wasn't a compromise, or a "best we can get". It was genuinely delicious, with the right texture to the dough, crunch, and flavor. I hope the people at Kanes know how much being able to truly enjoy their amazing donuts means to those of us who miss it. Thank you!

Laura Hamilton

OMG Fabulous!! Beautiful gluten free menu as well as a regular menu. Gorgeous food! Wide assortment of hot chocolates! Kind, sweet server! I love this place!

Jamiesen Cyr

Not to be dramatic but this is probably the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. I’m not even gluten free but I always get their gluten free herb and cheese bread because it tastes so good! They make a fantastic iced latte as well. Super friendly staff and ample seating. Love to come here when I’m in Beverly!

Max Cooperman

I personally had a great experience here, especially as someone who can’t eat gluten - here’s what you should know. I personally think everything is very consistent, but the sweet treats are where they really shine. Bacon and eggs both tasted good and high quality, but very obviously not the most fresh. The guava pao de queijo really surprised me, its gluten free and filled with a smooth, sweet guava jam on the inside. The taste teleported me back to the same satisfying taste of some guava cookies I ate in Costa Rica. The WAFFLES. They’re mochi waffles and they’re gluten free, I couldn’t get enough of them. The matcha was nice and soothing, a perfect way to top off the meal.

Matthew McPheeters

Great Gluten Free donuts! Lots of variety.

Lacy Hartselle

Best breakfast sandwich ever! I’m gluten free, but my husband is not. We both agreed that the gf herb and cheese bread is insanely delicious and perfectly paired with the north shore sandwich. Also their dirty chai is yummy. They don’t miss here! 💕

White Lion Baking Company is not only a gluten-free facility, but they also cater to other food allergies. The owner Liz, is absolutely wonderful and caring and she and her staff create the most beautiful desserts, breads, soups and sandwiches for those of us with food sensitivities, but for everyone to enjoy! 5 stars!

Kelly Dunn

They make the most delicious gluten free pop tarts! The dough is thick and way way better than the store bought pop tarts that I had way back before I had to go gluten free. I bought from them at the Swampscott farmers market.

Pictured is their gluten free bread egg and salmon sandwich that waa good. I loved this bakery. It gets very busy during the peak times but the lines seemed to move quickly. Because of how busy they are during peak times, seating can be a bit limited.

Attleboro Pediatric Dentistry

Awesome gluten free cake for our boss! We ordered it on Friday for the following Monday. Everything was great! We ordered the carrot cake the dental decorations on the cake were perfect too! Thank you again!

Emma Johnson

Delicious donuts! All vegan and gluten free. The donuts have a cake like texture with a little chew, not dense or stodgy, and moist without being oily/greasy. The frosting is very sweet. The employees were extremely friendly!

Matthew C

Better gluten free bread than most other places I’ve been. Very good service and very accommodating of food allergies.

Tim Murray

Amazing produce. Huge selection of gluten free products, overshadowing stores that advertise their gluten free selections!! Would like to see more butcher shop selections. Maybe the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Good price. Huge serving size. Seriously, a single scoop is two massive scoops. Came on a hot late spring day during a thunderstorm and there was no line. Would hate to see this place mid-summer.

Max Cooperman

The two workers there on 5/31 were super nice. Definitely ask for a sample if you don’t know what you want. I should note that everything is dairy free which was awesome to hear! I got the birthday cake ice cream which was delicious and also a 7 layer bar which was soooooo good and also gluten free. Definitely coming back soon!

Sam Berry

Gluten free makes it nice and coffee is special blend

MacKenzie Wehunt

Delicious vegan and gluten free baked goods! Some of the best dairy free and gluten free treats I’ve ever had. Highly recommend! Would come here frequently if I lived close

Kimberly Wilkes

Found out about this place thanks to a random tiktok featuring their customizable cannoli bowls, something I had never heard of before. Upon entering, I fell in love with the tasteful and over the top decor and display cases full of beautiful desserts. I wanted to try everything and definitely got greedy going for the gluten free strawberry roll, lemon cello marscapone cake, and mile high signature strawberry cake. The cream is delicious and not overly sweet. The cannoli bowl can also be one of their signature combos including a peanut butter explosion and have things added on.

I’ve ordered 2 custom cakes now (a baby shower cake & a 2 tier birthday cake) and both were WONDERFUL. They were a huge hit. People I can never convince to try gluten free foods were shocked to find out they were eating gluten free cake. My daughter has celiac disease and it’s so nice to be able to order cakes for our events and not have to get her her own separate thing and make her feel left out. The cakes taste amazing, look incredible and are priced right. Will be ordering from Sweet Sense for all of our future events.

M. Ryan Groff

The best no-gluten, no-dairy, organic bakery around. I’ve had apricot cupcakes, devilish chocolate cake, cinnamon bun… Kim Gregory | Pure Pastry is the very best. 🤌 I only wish I had taken a before picture of this cake!

McKersin

Great Gluten Free Vegan cupcakes.

Melanie Cotti

I love that this place has gluten free options and they taste good. Breakfast was amazing Will definitely be back

D Dopfel

Nice cafe with a bunch of gluten-free snack options that have come in handy for me. Coffee and tea drinks are all good, but not standout. Can be hard to find a place to sit as it is always pretty crowded. However, we've always been able to get a place to sit without too much of a wait when we decide to stay. I had the gluten-free chocolate tart, which was rich, chocolaty, and not too sweet. The London fog was acceptable but seemed a bit underbrewed as the earl grey didn't come through strong enough for my taste

Heidi Ash

Smokestack Roasters is a hidden gem. The best coffee around, delicious gluten free desserts, great selection of teas & other beverages. Fantastic atmosphere, the customer service is always top notch. The owners have been very involved in the community which is great to see. They also host special events like fairs & food truck events.

Ben Dulaney

Great service, LGBT+ friendly spot and great gluten free options. Worth a stop for a coffee and breakfast sandwich.

Coco Poco

Had egg sandwich which was extremely salty and focaccia they used was cold. They give you a number plaque if you dine in, it makes you think they would bring it to you like tatte. They don’t, so I sat down while my sandwich sat cold on the counter… so why don’t they tell you to just wait by the counter? I liked them when I first visited them… not many pastries I wanted to try. Maybe it’s catering vegans or gluten free?

Ishy Shah

The place was nice however the options for gluten free with the bread choose was terrible. It was hard and the avocado toast with the GF bread was flavorless. So disappointed :(

Sean Michael Walsh Connolly

Exceptional gluten-free cupcake (original and mini) made fresh everyday!! There is only flavor the sell, but its honestly one of the best we have ever had.

Winifred Tannetta Costello

One of my favorite cafes in town. Many gluten free options for lunch or a snack. Highly recommend.

lisa dalrymple

Sadly this business has closed

Walda Chesnut

A sweet little cafe for lunch. Gluten free sandwich options along with delicious smoothies and drinks.

Raven Orion

So, long story short I’m a disabled (POTS) person and my car died in the plaza , I really needed help or I was going to end up in the ER. Not only did they help me get some ice so I could get out of my episode but they were able to get me cold water, and bonus, they have gluten free brownies / cake pops! Truly thankful you never realize who’s life you save / change with small interactions like that. Super friendly staff great prices and great people ! You’ve got a new regular 🥰🫶🏻❤️

Dylan Langlais

Purchased a gluten free strawberry snowflake cake for my wife's birthday. Was by far the best gluten free cake we have ever had in the last 10+ years of her having a celiac allergy. Was slightly sticker shocked at first with it being almost $70.00 but this is one of those situations that you get what you pay for. Bunch of other gluten free pastry style products for purchase as well if walking in for a coffee.

Bridget Philbin

BCB made my gluten free wedding cake, a simple 8” one tier cake and a few gluten free cupcakes to supplement our gluten-full cupcake tower. The cake and cupcakes were lovely and absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the wedding industry hikes prices like crazy, and the order cost us over $500.

Real gluten-free food! Delicious drinks Wheelchair accessible

Lory Hough

Alysia and her team at Carefree Cakery made a delicious birthday cake for my son's 20th birthday last week. It was vegan and gluten free, half lemon/half strawberry -- and 100% delicious. We had a mixed group, including one vegan, two gluten-free eaters, and four without allergies/preferences and EVERYONE loved the cake. It was moist and didn’t have that grainy or dense texture that gluten-free and vegan cakes often have. (I’ve been vegan for 25 years — I’ve had my share of dense, grainy desserts!) This might be the best testimonial about the cake: I had a very hard time only eating one piece that night and ended up having a slice the next morning for breakfast. :-)

Frank Girvan

The gluten-free selection rocks!!!

Ashley LaMarca

Cute place! Not safe for celiacs despite some TikTok reviews talking about gluten free options

(Note: I write these reviews in part for my own nationwide business clients, for travel and activity inspiration. Follow me for more! I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) This place is darling! It caught my eye because of the Pride flag proudly displayed outside. Thanks for that. You walk in and are greeted by a ton of options of sweet treats and friendly staff. We were served by Katelyn who was attentive and knowledgeable of all the desserts. This was important because I have a gluten allergy. I was so pleased to discover a GF, KETO option. This is hard to find in terms of baked goods not in a freezer section. I was informed that the typically carry 2-3 items on rotation so there’s usually something new on the menu if you visit often. They also have diabetic friendly and vegan items. They have a few places for seating inside and plenty of parking. The prices are appropriate for what you’re getting, especially given the specific ingredients required for specialty baked goods. People of all ages would enjoy this shop. Stop in next time you’re in Sturbridge.
