Erica Joy Bakes

First time and will definitely come back! I thoroughly enjoyed a cinnamon bun with a generous cream cheese icing and grabbed a pretzel to try later. Lovely and helpful staff. Gluten free or not, check them out!

Yesterday, on a day trip to Lititz, I bought gluten-free baked goods from Erica Joy’s for the first time. I was not disappointed! Both the sourdough bread and the oatmeal bread were delicious. The sourdough bread didn’t even need to be toasted to be wonderful; it had a real sour dough taste and chewy texture, and was nicely moist. When I first sliced the oatmeal bread it seemed a little on the dry side but with a short time in the toaster it was perfect. Since almost all gluten-free products need to be toasted lightly for best taste and texture, this did not surprise me, and I was really pleased with the delicious result. The cinnamon roll, when briefly microwaved, was the best gluten-free cinnamon roll I’ve had in the 20 years I have been eating gluten-free. I just suggest removing the icing, briefly microwaving the roll, and then putting the icing back on. I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning there on our next trip to Lititz and trying a few other product products.

When friends and I found this area for a bachelorette celebration (middle ground between VA, MA, and NY where we all live), we were so thrilled to find there was a gluten free bakery (one of us is Celiac). However, the bakery would be closed on the days of our visit. I reached out via Erica’s website form with our slightly (very?) unconventional cake idea and she responded immediately with resounding positivity AND offered to open on a day off for us to pick it up. Erica, thank you so, SO much for making our time in PA so special with this hilarious cake. Everyone loved it. You nailed the vision and brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. Not to mention this was an absurdly delicious cake. The red velvet was phenomenal. We feel so lucky and appreciative that you accommodated us—this community is beyond fortunate to have you in it. We all can’t wait to visit again and will certainly plan around your normal business hours to be able to experience some more delicious treats! Thank you x a bajillion, we won’t forget this.
