Everything is gluten free which was amazing, I didn't have to worry about only getting to choose from two items on the menu. The salsa options were a bit odd, there was a cheese/yogurt type dip among the four they give you and it just didn't fit with the Latino flavors well, it was more Mediterranean in taste. Definitely pricier for how much food you get but the chips are a free refill. When I asked about diet pop options I was told they didn't have any but they have what appeared to be a full bar with a fountain pop sprayer (which normally would have at least one diet option). The only thing I could have to drink was water there (I'm a type one diabetic and regular pop is a bad situation).

I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Treat without Wheat! I had the pleasure of trying their cinnamon sugar donuts, and they were absolutely delicious—soft, flavorful, and perfectly sweet without being too heavy. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free! What made the experience even more special was the incredible generosity of the owner. Despite the bakery being located in Iowa, she went above and beyond to get the donuts to me all the way in Aruba. If you’re looking for amazing gluten-free treats made with love, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to try more of their baked goods!

I’ve never been to the actual bakery, but I have gotten these products from the Hyvee health market freezer section and I have to say after having the chocolate chip cookie bars and the cinnamon rolls they are both my absolute favorite desert ever; they are so moist and delicious! I have had other products as well and they are all so amazing! I hope whoever this baker is never stops! If I was magically cured of celiac and able to eat whatever I wanted I would still prefer these gluten free baked goods from here!

Love this place! Every time I get back to Hampton, it's always nice to know that there is a place u can eat that is gluten-free! It's tough to come by in smaller towns but this place does it right! I ordered a protein bowl and they give you a good amount of the meat and you can't go wrong with the sauces. It all tastes VERY good and I have never had stomach issues here. Overall, the service is quick, the atmosphere is unique and comfortable, and the food is the best part!

I stopped here on my drive home from the West Coast to Illinois. I was looking for the perfect "something" for my gluten free/ dairy free daughter. This little shop hit the spot perfectly. I got there mid afternoon and there wasn't a lot to choose from, but I was able to buy her a few different things to try. Meg, who waited on me was friendly and very helpful. We chatted for a while and then I headed home. My daughter loved all the baked goods and was thrilled that I was able to find a place where I could bring her some goodies. Thanks Meg....wish your store was 200 miles closer.
