Carina's Bakery

Carina and her team are wonderful, caring and talented at making some of the best gluten free and vegan treats 😋

Carina's is a must for anyone who has gluten or vegan dietary restrictions. The food is beyond delicious. The almond pistachio cake will make a special place in your memory.

I placed an order online for the day before thanksgiving. I placed my order at least 24 hours in advanced. With that being said when I showed up to pick up my order I was told "it would be 5 more minutes." That isn't really a big deal, but I was left there waiting at least 15 minutes. That really wouldn't be a big deal, but I was on a time crunch that day. That is my fault but I was a little annoyed since I placed my order in advanced and I tipped over $10 when I paid for my order online. The staff wasn't rude at all I just felt like I wasn't that important. As far as how the pies tasted... I paid the prices I did for 2 holiday pies because of the convenience of not having to make my own gluten free pies. With that being said I think I am just going to make the attempt in the future. I got the Pumpkin Meringue and Marion Berry pie. The fillings in both were both good in themselves, but the pie crust was not. Both the crust and the cookies on the Marion Berry pie were super hard. The pressure need to slice the crust was cutting into the pie pan itself. That being said we just ate the filling of the slices we were able to get out and just scrapped the rest of the pies. On a positive note when visiting they did have an awesome assortment of Gluten Free goodies ready to buy. I did buy a few things myself. The apple cider doughnut was really good. The brownies have a nice texture and good taste! If you're looking for something quick that you can judge with your eyes then I recommend this place. Overall though I just wasn't totally pleased with my experience with this Bakery. I was willing to let it go with having to wait for the pies, but it was let down how they ended up turning out. I love the idea of this place, but will probably defer in the future for pick up orders.
