Sook Pastry

I love great French bakeries, and this one does not disappoint. Thankfully, their cakes and pastries are not as sweet as the average ones I've tried in recent years. With so many exquisite options on display, it was hard to choose, but the cashier was incredibly helpful. She patiently guided me through the selection, explaining which desserts were gluten-free, which were lighter, and which were richer, helping me pick based on my preferences. My husband and I decided on "The Godwin," a gluten-free hazelnut and cream cake, and "The Lincoln," a chocolate mousse cake with a liqueur-infused bottom. Choosing a favorite was tough, as both were delicious. You can truly taste the care and passion they put into their baked goods. The bakery also has a window into the kitchen, allowing you to watch the bakers prepare cakes and fresh bread. If you're in the mood for something more substantial, they offer a lovely lunch menu, including crepes, French toast (with or without proteins like eggs, bacon, or sausage), sandwiches, quiches, and soups. For gifts, they have a variety of thoughtful options like specialty chocolates, premium coffee, and boxes of their cakes and tarts. I was beyond thrilled with their decaf coffee. It was rich and bold, the perfect pairing for any of their desserts. Definitely worth the trip! The service was fast and efficient, with nine bistro tables available for seating as you enjoy your food. The ambiance is cozy, and parking is metered street parking.

Has great gluten free cakes. I really enjoyed the Godwin! Menu has items marked as GF as well as a separate GF section of the menu so there's no confusion. Delicious! Highly recommend!
