Fabulous!

Lorna Vaughen

They are innovative and constantly changing their offerings. My non-GF mom likes their iced sugar cookies more than regular ones. Pricy but amazing!

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.

Ask for what’s fresh! I was so Excited for gluten free donuts doughnuts 🍩 I asked for what I wanted - what I should’ve done is ask for what’s fresh! Or freshest? 2 of the 6 I ordered weren’t fresh anymore. They were a little stale. And the coconut oil - which I was really excited about - had gone a little rancid. Who knew? Maybe they should toss things out quicker? Or maybe GF don’t have the shelf stability. I will definitely be back - for the blueberry, the plain cake, and the plain + chocolate, but I may never eat coconut donut again. Also, the jelly stuffed was really brittle, dry and crumbly. I did make it in right at closing ~ 2 pm.

This is a Top 9 Allergen Free Bakery, which is hard to find. I really enjoyed the cookie dough cupcake and my sister had the strawberry french toast cupcake.

Danielle D

Delicious and dedicated gluten free, mostly dairy free as well

cassie james

gluten free cafe and bakery!!!

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

Eryn Thompson

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!

Bianca Julien

Crave is amazing! They have an amazing gf cheese and herb bread for breakfast sandwiches and can make any breakfast sandwich gf! They also have gf tater tots! And gf cupcakes and scones!

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! 💕

capecyn

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.

Amber Easterling

They offer a small selection of gluten friendly baked goods. There is a risk of cross contamination due to shared areas.

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!

Emy Moore

100% allergen friendly and vegan donuts (no wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts)

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

Lorna Vaughen

So I never want to talk poorly about a 100% celiac bakery, but I’m not a fan. I got the chocolate pie (big chocolate fan) and it was too chocolatey even for me. I also tried the cranberry lemon cheesecake and it was alright but the crust was very wet. I enjoyed the meringue I bought. The expiration date is more than 3 months from now. (It’s December 23 and the expiration date is March 18th) When I go to a bakery, I would want something fresher baked. Just seems a little odd for me.

Clare U

They do have some GF stuff here, but I asked one of the workers if it was safe for someone with celiac/an allergy and she said she would absolutely not recommend that I eat there and that there is definitely cross contamination in the kitchen. This may be good if you have an intolerance but I don’t think you should try it if you have celiac.

Garrett R

This is one of my favorite lunch spots, especially as someone with a glue analogy. They have lots of gluten-free options. I got the Christopher Robin on a gluten-free bagel and it was delicious. Sandwiches come with a small side of salad and breakfast potatoes which are both really good. I normally order ahead as it can be very busy in there and seating can be limited because it is extremely popular and the inside is not huge so best to plan ahead. Would very much recommend.

Tatiana Lamy

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.

McKersin

Great Gluten Free Vegan cupcakes.

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!

Melanie Cotti

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

Robin T

I was so excited to try food from a place that's mostly gluten free, but holy shit this place wasn't even mid. I got lukewarm sweet n creamy something on an arepa with lettuce. And my boyfriend's dish had wicked good steak BUT it was slathered in A1 sauce which should be a crime. Panela has a mandatory 18% gratuity, which I'm fine with. But we saw our waitress twice; once to order and once to get the check. Now I'm out 40 bucks and have a tummy ache :(

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

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?

Len Sheppard

Go there frequently for their gluten free desserts. Always a selection of 5 to 8 options. Their coffee is too strong for me. Go there with my wife and stay for multiple hours and do work.

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 :(

Ben Dulaney

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

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.

Walda Chesnut

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

Naomi Kotnik

Popped in with a friend by chance! I am so glad we did. We picked up treats for our whole crew, including gluten free and vegan treats. Thank you so much. Sizable treats, great prices.

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.

Nicole Kelly

This will be my new breakfast spot when I visit the island. They are true farm to table, grow their own veggies, offer a local egg on breakfast sandwiches, have vegan and gluten free bread and pastry options.

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 🥰🫶🏻❤️

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. :-)

Real gluten-free food! Delicious drinks Wheelchair accessible

Mich Besse

I have been a regular since this place opened - and even now that I’ve moved I make it a point to stop every single time I am in town. I have celiac and they take gluten allergies and cross contamination very seriously here! The staff gets to know you and makes connections with you. Plus, their food and coffee are great. Gluten free food isn’t always delicious - but it is here, and there’s a lot of options!

Frank Girvan

The gluten-free selection rocks!!!
