BEG IS SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I love that they have gluten-free for my mom and they have vegan for me and my kids and all of it tastes just as good! I got a custom GF cake made for my mom‘s 50th birthday and it was so spot on and perfect. two weeks later, we went back for cupcakes for my son (for his birthday)! The very thoughtful owner brought my son a brownie with ice cream on top, a birthday topper, and a little candle for him to blow out! I’m not sure if this is something they do often, but it was incredibly kind and made him so happy. 🥹 not to mention, the café itself is so adorable 🥹 aesthetically pleasing and has games to play with!! I will continue to support this business as often as I can 🥰 I feel very grateful to have such a vegan bakery in the valley

They will make a gluten-free burger. But the frys are cooked in the same vat as breaded items. I'd like them to design their cooking area that keeps frys cooking in their own oil.

I love their ice cream! I would come here regularly for their ice cream alone, but they also have reasonably-priced gluten-free cones. Flavors are marked to show if they have nuts, gluten, etc. so I don't have to wonder if a specific flavor is okay for me to eat. This helps me to relax and enjoy my treat with peace of mind. If you want traditional, homemade-style American ice cream, then definitely go here.

Great milkshakes and bowls! Every time I'm downtown I grab something from there. They have a lactose free option, and mark everything that's gluten free as such.

Great place to eat especially as grandparents with grandkids, one of whom is Coeliac so can't have a 'normal' bun for his burger! The care and courtesy in preparing and serving the food is 1st class and it's our favorite 'fast food' place to eat. No loud, thumping, annoying music! Their kid's meals are the best and frozen custard fantastic. Very happy to highly recommend!! This time we had takeout and the care taken to keep the gluten free bun separate was excellent. We normally eat in and are always happy. ☺️❤️

Stopped in here last night and picked up a box of cookies and a milk shake. All of the cookies and the milkshake were absolutely delicious. It was so nice that they have yummy gluten free options on their menu so everyone could enjoy. Goodbye Crumble, Dirty Dough at DRMP has this cookie monsters business now!

We love Twisted Sugar! They have so many drink options and their cookies are the VERY BEST! They also have gluten free options which can be so hard to find. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. My husband loves asking them their favorite drinks and has yet to find one he doesn’t like. This place is a definite must try!
