I don’t understand how they’re still in business. The service is decent, but the baked goods are terrible. I tried them years ago when there were hardly any gluten free bakeries around, so they were a decent option considering there was almost nothing else available, but after all these years nothing has improved and there are far better options out there. The frosting is awful and they really need to develop a new recipe. The cakes are dry and just don’t taste that great. One of the items i got was so disgustingly sweet I had to throw it away after a few bites. Everything is completely overpriced especially considering how terrible they are. I’ll just keep going to Modern Bread and Bagel and Kirari West because Erin Mckenna’s is not worth it with the quality of their recipes

I got a couple of donuts and a cupcake and was totally blown away! The girls were super friendly. I would totally go back for more. I have hasimotos so I avoid gluten and eggs have given me a problem for years now. Finally I can enjoy my cake without any problems!! Love love love

Rose Morse

Got the grand slam. Never would have guessed the pancakes were both vegan and gluten free. Everything was delicious. The sausage and eggs are definitely vegan, but taste great. Service was excellent, excited to try other things.

My wife and I loooove Just What I Kneaded (the pop tarts are insane; the crunch wraps are a MUST!) and Justine's Wine Bar (all around one of our favorite date spots), but I'm writing this review specifically to rave about the amazing and most perfect wedding cake that Kneady Cakes/ Just What I Kneaded created for our wedding day! Our cake was vegan and gluten free - we wanted gluten free since my mother is celiac (she was very grateful for a GF cake and she loved it!). The cake was moist and delicious! We were all very impressed with the gluten free option - There honestly was no difference in the gluten free and the regular cake. And it felt "lighter" to eat! We opted for a lemon cake with lemon custard and raspberry jam on the bottom layer and chocolate with raspberry jam filling on the top layer. It was insanely delicious and beautifully decorated with frosting succulents to match the desert theme of our wedding. The Kneady Cakes team packaged it carefully and it was sturdy + easy to transport in an insulated box all the way to Joshua Tree. We had a wonderful time with our cake tasting, which consisted of trying cake samples via 6 different flavors of cupcakes accompanied with jars of jam and custards. It was difficult to choose, but we're so happy with our decision! The lower layer of our cake was 8" and the top was 6". We were able to cut about 30-40 slices, easy. For a 15 person wedding, it was a perfect amount for everyone to enjoy a few slices + we had extra to freeze for our anniversary. Everyone LOVED the cake (they are still raving about it!) and it was a highlight of the post-ceremony celebration! We are SO happy to have purchased our cake from Kneady Cakes. We can't recommend getting a wedding cake(s) from Kneady Cakes enough! Worth every penny. We'll be back for birthday cakes in the near future. We are lucky to have such a fantastic bakery and such an amazing team of bakers in east LA!

Absolutely top tier gluten free breakfast burritos. The Mediterranean flavors of the Hiho wrap were awesome and everything was super fresh and well made. Pretty much everything can be made GF here so I highly recommend for anyone with celiacs.

Cassandra

I stopped in to purchase a few gluten free treats before headed to LAX for a return flight to MI. To the young lady that helped me get a few items thank you so much! Everything was delicious and I sure wish I could've bought more. If you ship to MI, I'd certainly place an order. Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. Perfect way to end my visit to LA. 💖

Meghan C

As someone with celiac, this is an absolute gem. Not only can I have everything on the menu, but it’s delicious and my non-celiac friends/family love it too!

Amy “FabulousFoodie”

Gluten-free HEAVEN! I recently became gluten-free due to an auto immune condition and was so sad to have to give up my beloved bread and pastry products. That was until I heard about rising heart bakery! Their take and bake cinnamon rolls, millet bread and bagels are off the chart good! Yes, you will spend a little bit more but it’s absolutely worth it to keep these delicious foodie staples in your life! Even if I wasn’t gluten-free I would still absolutely keep these in my pantry!

Michael Kaufman

My wife has Celiac disease and an hour after she ate part of a pastry she got violently sick.

Nicole R

I had no idea gluten-free bagels could be this delicious! Hats off to you, Pop’s!

Harrison Haggith

Decent gluten free section. Cakes tasted great, staff really nice. Eat in food served on throw away paper rather than real plates

Christopher Tolbert

One of the best donut shops in LA. Great iced coffee and they always have 1 gluten-free donut option.

mxctime

False advertisement. They do not sell gluten-free bread or rolls. They say I could order it 48 hours in advance. They don't mention it on their website. Shame on his business and shame on Google.

Gemma Rose Brandt

Amazing gluten free options, especially for those with a sweet tooth. Best GF doughnut I've ever eaten. Great spot for something to eat and drink after a hike.

Cindy Coan

Best bakery in town!! Excellent vegan and gluten-free items too!!

Brian Clark

Got the gluten free Combolini - best gluten free pancake I’ve ever had!

I ordered for pick up. The salmon salad and two slices of gluten free cake. All were good. I just wish their salmon had skin on it (crispy at that). And their carrot cake had more walnuts they were non existent in the slice I had only two tiny morsels of a walnut were detected. I called to check if their carrot had walnuts before buying because I do not like carrot cake without the nuts so that was a bummer. The taste was very good tho . The coconut cake was also very good just a touch dry. If it was a lil more moist it would’ve been perfection! Overall really good!! Was expensive tho. Those three items were $50. $14 a slice is ridiculous for a regular cake. Meaning no special ingredients. If it was grain free, no sugar added using coconut sugar monk fruit (pure) I could see that but a typical GF all purpose flour and regular sugar etc $14 is a bit much imo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Moody Vegan is an absolute gem in LA! Whether you’re fully plant-based or just curious, this spot will blow you away with its bold flavors and top-quality ingredients. I tried the gluten-free Breakfast Tacos, and they were incredible—three corn tortillas packed with vegan egg, American cheese, sausage, potatoes, avocado, and their signature avocado sauce. Every bite was perfection! Beyond the amazing food, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s the perfect place to share a great meal with friends!

Nat Real

Thank the Goddess for these gluten-free cakes with clean ingredients! I tried 3 recently: lemon coconut, chocolate caramel, and keto chocolate. Also their keto brownie (I'm a fan!). The chocolate caramel...takes the cake lol. All are lightly sweet and filling thanks to the almond flour. I am so thrilled this place exists - I had gone once before Covid and then forgot about it because I moved away, until a fellow GF foodie recommended it. Went here for my birthday cake sampler and YAYYY! Excited to return to try their cinnamon rolls and other deliciousness. I also want to get their cookbooks. The location is adorable.

Rebecca

Have a couple gluten free options! Only 2 gf cheesecakes

Lois Holloway

Paul Richard

Had a delicious gluten free and vegan chocolate cheesecake bite as well as a caramel iced latte with oat milk

jaz mojica

offer gluten free donuts

Nina L

Found this place by coincidence, just walking around the neighborhood. Only got cappuccino there, but have to say the pastries looked amazing. A bit pricey, but probably worth it. Also very excited to note they had gluten free, nut free, dairy free options. Will update my rating once I get to eat there.

Jared Lopez

Giving five stars because the food was really good, they have good gluten free pastries and I like that they heat them up for you in the oven, house brew with milk is good, no sugar needed cappuccino was too strong for my taste. They have good gluten free pancakes, look at the kids menu section for them. Recommend getting the omelette, overall good spot for breakfast. Didn't like that the restaurant was super cramped and you have to share tables with other groups and that you must get your own silverware and napkins from the table in the back. Parking is hard to find

Lacy Kelly

If you're celiac or have a gluten allergy, don't let the title fool you! There are plenty of gluten-free options. I have been here a ton of times and have never gotten sick. The wait staff is all friendly and knowledgeable about food allergies. They comply with asking to be extra careful. The keto plate and the grain bowl are great options for breakfast and the chicken is SOO good as are all the veggie sides. Love it here. Also, the restaurant is very popular, but even at 10:30 on a weekend the wait is never TOO long. The coffee is GREAT and you can bring your dog!

Marie Moreau

I only purchased the Chai latte and the gluten croissant. I threw it away after the first bite. It was flavorless and tasted like bread. I prefer Cars Artisanals in Pasadena.

Chrissy Evans

I have been coming here for years and love the variety of breads and pastries. I was surprised with the addition of UBE treats in their menu. I tried most of them so far and let me tell you, they’re hands down the best UBE baked goodies I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot including the ones from Hawaii. So happy that I can get them now from my favorite bakery in the valley. I highly recommend their ube challah, gluten free ube rice cake with bruleèd custard, the ube cheesecake brownies, ube crinkle cookies (there’s a lot out there but they pale in comparison to what Bea’s has) and the gluten free ube mochi cornbread. I’ll be coming back for more of their ube treats and the classic Bea’s baked goodies.

Allison Schimke

The servers are very knowledgeable about gluten-free dining.

Rachelle L

I love this place sooooo much but PLEEEAAASE make a gluten free in any other flavor than chocolate chip. It’s good but it’s just the worst flavor and I love these cakes so much but I want one in a good flavor. It can be a weird flavor I don’t mind just not chocolate chip!!!!!!

Danielle Assouline

Amazing gluten free selection. Biggest I've ever seen! Love it!

Alana Von Ende

My go to market. Has some of the best freshest sushin and lots of gluten free items! This ralphs has more GF items than alot of others I have gone to, so if you need GF items this location would be your best bet! Its also very clean and well kept! Dont be afraid to ask them if theyd be willing to stock any GF product you dont see! Or even fruit!

Rating this store from a gluten allergic person's point of view: Honestly, the gluten free community aren't taken care of by this store. There are few gluten free options in general and what exists the store refuses to give it its own section, let alone properly label. Gluten allergic people are an after thought to this store and it shows. Not really worth a shopping trip, tbh.

One of my fave haunts. I love the staff and the food. So happy they have a hearty gluten free bread. My faves are the belgian mocha, morrocan mint tea, belgian waffles, and their smoked salmon tartine :-).

Hezekiah Laronda

Love this place and love the owners! We stopped in for a quick look and ended up coming back the same day for another round and chat. I'm gluten free and the options for me were amazing! Highly, highly recommend!

Jeff Miller

The food was great. Had the chicken sandwich and nashville chicken breakfast. Really enjoyed the blood orange mimosas. We also got some pastries to go and so far they're all very good. Maple donut, gluten free brownies, chocolate chip cookies. Prices are very good too.

Amber Ragunas

Absolutely mind blowing the deliciousness and quality of the desserts plus how affordable they are. They’re selling at wholesale price basically… aka they have a customer for life in me! My new go-to for sourdough bread. Even had gluten free muffins and flourless chocolate cake. I’m obsessed.

Alexandra April Muhl

My boss ordered a large gluten free vanilla cake with pink frosting for her daughters first birthday last month and it was the best thing I ever tasted in my entire long life. And I am not a cake person. But I wanted to marry this cake and take it home with me and have it all to myself. 😂

Daniel Yescas

Best bread in town!! The bolillo is great and the service is always excellent. Don't miss out on the deliciousness. I hope the hipsters don't buy them out and sell overpriced gluten free tarts.

Katherine W.

Loved this place! It was pretty packed on and off all afternoon all Saturday. It's spacious, though - most people had a place to sit even though the line was nearly out of the door at one point. Their matcha was some of the best I've ever had. The coffee menu was simple, but well done. They had some gluten free options for pastries, too (go early if you're hungry - they seem to run out of all of their food early in the day). Definitely worth the wait for the drinks!

Danielle Miller

I live near y and come here for their sourdough loaves and some coffee each week. Great coffee but also great bread. I don't have celiac, I'm not someone who confuses a fructan sensitivity for "gluten sensitivity", but I'm someone who generally doesn't do well with American bread (must be some additive that's used, nowhere else in the world do I have an issue) and generally avoid it. This is the only place, even of bakeries, that I've been too in LA that the bread isn't overly filling and doesn't bloat me/bother me. Really good and also at a good price too (I want to say about $5-6)

Henry Mims

I love this new vegan bakery in our community. I had the Brownie with walnuts, lemon pound cake, coco balls and a fresh coconut this morning. Its gluten free and Alkaline, and taste delicious. The owner has a beautiful spirit. and they have outdoor seating, music, and wifi. A new chill spot to work on my laptop. I definitely recommend.

Raveena Khanna

Big Man Bakes 🏬🧁😋 One of the Best bakery in L.A. and U.S too🥰😍 So these are mini cupcakes, carrot cake, dark chocolate, white cupcakes, which are super moist, fluffy, flavourful and so good. 🥰 They also offer options for gluten free. Their pastries and cupcakes are well baked and Delicious. Totally worth it. Staff is nice and friendly. Awesome customer service. Definitely order these if you're ever in L.A.💗 Takeaway available ✔️👏 No-Contact delivery ✔️ Highly recommended.

I'm not sure how I didn't know this Vons was so close to me but it's great. It's a little smaller but they have tuna of my favorite gluten free breads, their deli section has a wonderful selection of pre-made food, and somehow everything I got was extra good. Even the grapes were somehow tastier than I've been finding lately.
