horrible service. i ordered a blueberry muffin and the person next to me ordered one a minute after. they had me pay for it and then told me they were all out and gave it to the person. this was after waiting in line for 20 minutes. the staff has absolutely no manners. if your looking for good gluten free food with good service save yourself some time and choose a different bakery. they also do a horrible job at making accommodations. i ordered myself an omelet and told them i could not eat mushrooms and they gave me an omelet with mushrooms. then got annoyed and took another 20 minutes to make me a new one. and it was undercooked and smaller than the actual serving size.

I love this place so greatly, when I lived downtown I would eat here on the regular. The best thing is it is very inclusive of most diets and has a pretty nice selection of vegan and gluten free items, including at some times of year seasonal cakes and pies.. yumm.. However, today in summertime, their were more choices in the salad and entree bar; including some delicious looking pasta salads, and did I mention how high quality all the ingredients are? Today I kept it simple, and got the gluten free vegan snickerdoodle cookies. They are like puffs of sweet satisfying heaven. I can have few with a small latte and just allow my mind to travel and vacation for a moment. The latte which I had for their, in a cup, making it all the more cozy was divine. Steamed well as for the almond mylk, and had a lovely sweet nutty flavor to the espresso. Very quick service btw. Thats the beauty of this place is you can go and get a latte and nosh, or an entire meal and perhaps some wine.. I will keep coming back and have heard the best things about the owner, thanks for such a delectable space🙏🏽

Delicious food all around. Everyone’s dishes were prepared perfectly, and the gluten free pizza was good, too. Service was super friendly.

Yadhira and Andy are AWESOME! We ordered a gluten free pizza with vegan cheese and they made sure to use separate gloves and a separate rack to bake the pizza. This place has the BEST gluten free vegan pizza ever. Also the salad was delicious. Great service, fun atmosphere! We will 100% go back!

Crushcakes is an absolute gem in our community. Their support of local events, like our pickleball fundraiser, shows just how much they care about the people around them. They are always welcoming, inclusive, and make everyone feel right at home. The iced matcha is one of my favorite go-to drinks, especially in the summer when you need something cool and refreshing. I also really appreciate their gluten free options. It's not always easy to find treats that taste amazing and still fit dietary needs, but Crushcakes nails it every time. They make sure no one feels left out, and that's something truly special.
