Sugar Mama made our wedding cake and mini cupcakes for the reception, and we loved the outcome! Sugar Mama was easy and professional to work with and the cake and cupcakes tasted great. They also made great gluten free and vegan cupcakes for our guests.

Found out about this new coffee shop/bakery and thought I’d give it a try. The barista informed me that while they cannot say they are certified gluten free, they try everything possible to avoid cross contamination. He was extremely nice and friendly! Would definitely come back!

It might not be considered a "destination", but it's certainly a local institution. And it's easy to see why. The donuts and pastries are fresh, the dining area is clean and the staff is friendly. Hands down, they make the best old fashioned style donuts. The danish are flaky and tasty. Coffee is pretty good. They do have gluten free options, but they aren't always available Be careful of their boxes if you are ordering multiple donuts as the cardboard is a bit flimsy.

Friendly and relatable staff. Any place that offers fresh baked goods from savory to sweet for you and your furry friends is worth checking out. The baked goods: You’ll want to try it all if you can, and the prices are great. There’re gluten free options that vary weekdays, different specials of bread, muffins, cookies and more. They’ve got coffee, too! Multiple flavors, reasonably priced and gives you a reason to poke around and see the jams, batters, doughs and apparel. All and all a fun spot to check out. It feels homely to go into. Not a sitting place but absolutely a welcoming one. Be sure to grab a punch card to earn a free loaf of bread!

Good coffee, only 2 gluten-free regular bake goods options.

In the summer of 2016, I visited this store to buy 18 organic avocados for my mother's now permanently-closed vegan, organic, gluten-free, allergen-free restaraunt, Take A Bite. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I only grabbed four or five actually organic avocados and the rest were regular avocados. Yeah, because I took off all the stickers that made the difference glaringly obvious to "help" stock them in the kitchen later. On my way out of the store a twenty-something South Asian man propositioned me inappropriately in the parking lot. He was still kind of lingering around when I hastily drove off, so who knows? Maybe that guy still does that. But anyway, it wasn't Schnucks or their avocados' fault my mother's restaurant went out of business. She's just really bad with money.

Love you Gluten-free options

Candice and her team are amazing. She was very thorough and straightforward about everything on our first call. I’m not a visionary, so I let her take the reigns once I answered her questions. I had sooooo many compliments on my flowers and cake. The tasting box was an amazing assortment. My husband and I wanted every flavor. They were all delicious. I usually hate carrot cake, but I fell in love with her version! We also got the same cake in gluten free and you seriously could not tell the difference. The cake froze very well and tasted just as good as it did originally 1 year later!! You can’t go wrong with with Pollen and Pastry.

Best cold brew I’ve ever had, and the avocado toast is fantastic. Love that they have so many gluten free options, too.

I just adore this coffee shop. The employees are just the sweetest! They even have gluten free options for snacks!

I love the gluten free selection. I'm always proud to show up with a Janet's cake.
