So good! Gluten free chocolate chip cake was delicious and vanilla macaron was perfectly sweet!

Born out of her parents’ kitchen in Milford late-2012 Lisa Ludwinski has earned national recognition at Sister Pie, the story of hard-work and triumph as “blue collar” as Detroit itself though the corner lot on Kercheval Avenue remains humble even now. Built on loans, grants and friendship, plus a 24-hour dance marathon in 2015, guests entering Sister Pie will quickly note a sizable workspace filled with women, many taking time to greet patrons or offer suggestions of items tucked away on a table behind glass. Willing to take a stance on environmental issues and workers’ rights, a no-tipping policy utilized to assure equality in pay plus biodegradable packaging and composting a priority, choices change daily but always include Cookies such as the Wheat-free Buckwheat Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Golden Raisin and smoky-smooth Peanut Butter Paprika. Not forgetting a “Sandwich Cookie” that looks like two bite-sized Biscuits around Buttercream, a favorite recommended by friends who’ve taken one of Lisa’s baking classes, suffice it to say Sister Pie’s “From Another Galaxy Brownie” lives up to its name while being both gluten-free and vegan while the Strawberry Cornmeal Scone was an edible snapshot of late-Summer. Obviously not forgetting some eponymous slices, two of four available this day, Salted Maple spins Canada’s classic beautifully on an all-Butter Crust while The Banana Pete puts a mountain of Meringue and crumbled Cookies on a Banana Custard base.

Fannie is the absolute sweetest! I called 17 bakeries trying to find someone who would make a shareable dessert that is both vegan and gluten free! I received 16 no’s before Fannie said yes! She went through all her recipes with me to find one that would work for the dietary restrictions I was trying to accommodate and even gave me samples to try to make sure it not only fit the dietary requirements but to make sure it tasted good! I never knew something vegan and gluten free could taste so delicious! Her cheesecake was delicious! Her zucchini bread was just the most perfect dessert for a cup of coffee or tea and the carrot cake was to die for! If you want a baker that will accommodate your dietary needs and taste even better than a “normal” dessert with the best personality, I would definitely call Have Another Slice! I will be ordering from her again! Thank you!

Great service! Gluten free options

Very few vegan option so I felt their title of gluten free and vegan is misleading. Also hate being talked to in a fake voice.

Friendly folks serving up a rotating selection of globally inspired pastries, with grab and go lunch options and a coffee bar, in a minimalist space just off the beaten path between Woodward and Cass. A couple of gluten free options are generally available, including a variety of financiers and a divine chocolate cardamom mousse. Get there early for the best selection!

Astoria has delectable pastries and treats that are sure to satisfy most! Gluten-free options are hard to come by, but that is not surprising given they are a pastry shop.

They've got a handful of delicious gluten free options (they don't say so because they are aware of the contamination aspect, so if you're very sensitive, know that they don't claim gluten free so much as wheat free ingredients). Great baked goods, wonderful environment, lovely coffee.

Beautiful spot run by beautiful people! Got the vegetarian/gluten free marshmallow. Would very much recommend coming by to see the art in their gallery and the art that is their baked goods :)
