Top 36 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Charlotte

Beware the vegan gluten free muffin. Delicious, but NOT gluten free!

Was there yesterday with the family to get gluten free doughnuts and they were awesome. Besides other regular doughnuts we ordered. Thank you for providing gluten free options to the public, my daughter greatly appreciates it. We drive 30 minutes just to get them.

Amazing doughnuts!! Very expensive but if you really want to treat yourself then this is the place. Looks like things sell out fast. Coffee was good too. Glad to see they had a gluten free doughnut too!

I was so excited to try this “Instagram-famous place” for lunch and drove all the way from SC to try their chef’s special pastries. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with everything I ordered, including the regular latte, quiche Lorraine, and gluten-free passion fruit mousse cake. I spent $30 on these three items and ended up throwing everything away. I noticed other guests doing the same or just leaving their pastries untouched. I do not recommend this place at all—avoid it by all means! The food is simply not tasty!

Pros : - the cake is phenomenal - I don’t like cake at all and I love their cakes - the strawberry filling is perfection - pricing for cakes is competitive to other bakeries - the store smells amazing when you walk in Cons : - can’t order cakes in person at the store… can only be ordered online. Was told this was to prevent the small store area from getting crowded during Covid … I get safety precautions but I was told this in July 2024. Maybe it’s time to update your procedures. I was ordering cakes for my wedding and wanted to make sure the frosting colors were right bc sometimes colors on a screen or in a pic look different - was told to move along and order online and looking at pictures of the colors and an online order was my only option. - they don’t offer delivery - they don’t offer tiered cakes - I ordered the horizontal palette designs with my wedding colors and the cakes I picked up the day before the event had vertical designs on them. I had already had such a bad experience with customer service over multiple in person visits and over the phone that I chose not to say anything bc ultimately no one but me would know/care at the wedding and I didn’t have any time to wait for them to try and fix it or come back later. - ordering/paying in store is chaotic - there is no structure or direction for forming a line or helping customers in an orderly manner - no gluten free options

Great friendly atmosphere, largely clean, and spacious. Also, there is ample parking in the lot and also on the street in back of the facility. The food is very good 👍. However, the portions are small. Therefore, this is not the place to go if you are very hungry. Gluten free selections are available but limited. Service staff aims to please so if you are a finicky lactose and gluten intolerant person like me, they will accommodate and build sandwiches to your liking.

My husband and I love the lemon bar and blueberry crumb! We look forward to getting these treats and plus some every weekend at the Cotswold Farmer’s Market! We also love that they have many gluten free options. Everything we try is always delicious!

The absolute best cake I’ve had! The prices are comparable to a non-gluten free bakery which is absolutely insane to me! I’ve had four orders (lemon pound cake, Black Forest cake, margarita cupcakes and red velvet cake) and have loved every single one of them. The last order I got (Gluten free lemon pound cake) I was almost banned from eating MY OWN CAKE as nobody in my family believed it was Gluten-free. Even my extremely picky brother-in-law was RAVING about the cake to everyone. Even if you aren’t gluten free (or dairy free/vegan) I would highly recommend!

Katie Wakefield

let me just say, Zack/Zach (one of the managers) if you see this… your the reason i WILL be coming back. i have a gluten allergy and i felt SO SAFE and so seen, so loved. amazing experience.

Hadley

All of the staff are so kind, especially Fia!! I always have the most uplifting conversations with them. Yummy food and fantastic environment to be in!! My favorite item is the (gluten free) caramel brownie. Such a delightful treat!

Emily Brito

Highly recommend! I emailed them my request for cake pops for a gender reveal. Very quick communication via email. I needed 2 gluten free and 12 regular. They said they normally have a minimum for gluten free but could work with me. So awesome! The gender results were sent to them via email and they made the most delicious cake pops. It was a great experience.

Marcella Smith

The lemon bar was out of this world. Gluten free, amazing flavor, highly recommend! On the other hand, the macaron was very dry and crunchy. It crumbled the second I took a bite. Though the flavor was good, the fact that it was dry and crumbly made me give less stars.

K C

No gluten free options :((

Laurie Watson

I ordered a blueberry lemon gluten free cake for a birthday! They did a beautiful job! Everything was perfect and the staff went above and beyond! Highly recommend!

April Flowers

Absolutely delicious!!! My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday with one of her custom gluten free cakes. It was probably the best cake we have ever had. The design was stunning. It was so beautiful I almost didn’t want to cut into it lol … so delicious!! Highly HIGHLY recommend!

Robin Champaign

Stopped in briefly- can you really do that? No… so many delicious choices. We left with a bacon cheddar biscuit, 6 gluten free macarons, a cream puff and slice of olive cake. The family Biscuit cone-suer said the biscuit was low on flavor . The rest of our order over the moon delicious!

Eve Shell

Friendly/knowledgeable staff. Gluten free options. SCRUMPTIOUS vanilla bundt with ‘purrrfect’ creamy buttercream

A Spice Below the Horizon

What a great place that offers cupcakes and ice cream! I especially appreciate how they have gluten free items and to go items. The cost is reasonable and the amount is appropriate. The staff were kind and went above and beyond. CLEAN!!! I highly recommend.

We only had 2 slices of cheese, but it was divine! The gluten-free with strawberries had half the calories and was so good! My husband had the upside down pineapple 🍍 and it was as tall as the to go container. Calories twice as much as the gluten-free.

Janet Sanchez

This place is great! I also got a white chocolate mocha and it was delicious! They have a wide variety of bakery to try and some gluten free options.

Erin Fitzsimonds

Thank you so much for making incredible gluten free items! It’s so hard to find coffee shops with anything gluten free. The muffins, scones, and cookies are amazing!

C

They have gluten free breads! Yay!!!

D B

This is the only Smallcakes that always has at least one gluten free cupcake flavor available to order at anytime!! The owner is always pleasant as well as her team!! Thank you.

Monica Carter

It was a pleasure to have Anneasha bake our wedding cake. She was very friendly and great to work with. My husband is intolerant to gluten and tree nuts, so I asked her to use oat milk as a substitute and she was very accommodating. The cake was wonderful! I would choose it over a traditional cake any day. If you’re willing to spend some money for something special, I would highly recommend.

Jay & Janet Beller

I have a gluten free diet and Verdant makes a gluten free bread. First fresh bread I ate in 10 years. Love it.

Angela S

The treats are delicious! I also love they have gluten free options. Beautiful space, super convenient and appreciate the parking validation. Love this place!

Larry King

Great selection of products. Highest quality, even store brands...good gluten free variety

Evamarie S

Nicely organized, have a lot of specialty gluten free foods. I don't know why but the service here is SLOW. The cashiers and baggers take forever, and often bag things in ways that don't make sense. For example, they'll fill a whole bag with massively heavy items to the point where the bag tears. Either way, still a staple store.

Tasha Wygal

Got the Gluten free cinnamon bread. It is fantastic. Went on a Monday afternoon and they had just made it. I couldn't even tell it was Gluten Free, it tasted just like what I would expect high quality regular cinnamon bread would taste. My husband who doesn't have to be GF even said it was fantastic.

Mohan Jayabal

Nice grocery store. Many Gluten free items are available.

padhu padma

I ordered drumstick milkshake which has less calories and gluten free but tasted yummy

Steve Hubbard

Very friendly and helpful. Wide selection of produce and groceries. Gluten free selection throughout the store. Pharmacy is very friendly as well.

Rachel Smith

Clean, bright store with many quick and easy meal options and many gluten free products.

Margie Perez

Best Gluten free cake I've tried

sophie mueller

Great staff and selection for specialty diets, like gluten free.

Melissa Dobrovolski

I love this place! They have the best cappuccinos and all of their gluten-free muffins and desserts are incredible! Their sausage, egg and cheese biscuits are also to die for!
