I ordered a mixed dozen of vanilla frosted and cinnamon donuts and they did not disappoint. The cinnamon paired perfectly with my morning coffee and the vanilla was superb. I certainly recommend this place for all your gluten free baking needs and I look forward to my next order!!!

Great food and served quickly during a busy brunch. Had expertly cooked flounder with a side salad served with fresh vinaigrette and a lemon wedge. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Note: This is both a bakery and a connected restaurant in a single location so parking is tight. Highly recommend the bakery, which is what drew me here. Offers a variety of choices, including gluten-free options. Prices are about what you'd expect for quality entrees, expresso coffee drinks and fresh baked goods.

Coffee is great. Tea is ok - comes in those plastic mesh bags ☹️ GF ginger snaps are amazing. Even if you don’t have a gluten allergy the ginger snaps are delicious.

This place was amazing! I sat at the bar and enjoyed overlooking the kitchen. It’s clear that they cook most of the food from scratch with fresh ingredients. I asked the waitress what she would recommend without dairy or gluten and she suggested the summer veggie noodle bowl (with rice noodles). It was delicious- fresh tomatoes and green beans and just the right amount of a spicy, crunchy sauce. It’s a small place, but clean and comfortable with some outdoor seating. I would go out of my way to eat here again and highly recommend. Prices were very reasonable given the high quality of the food. Oh, and while I didn’t partake, the bakery items looked and smelled delicious.

I recently came to Madhatter’s for brunch, and I loved the diversity of the menu. They have breakfast all day which is a plus! I tried the wasabi salmon bowl, with an iced Vietnamese coffee. I have zero complaints, they’ve got me hooked on the coffee now. I’ve also ordered cakes for my family member’s birthdays and they are pretty delicious. The tiramisu is a must (but then again I am biased because I love coffee). They have gluten free and vegan options for savory items and sweet items which is a must. Staff is always super friendly!

I like the deli. They sell Boar's Head, which is gluten free. I think the selections in the store are good. However, I think their prices are a little high.

I went in looking for Beyond Meat burgers and gluten free beer (Glutenberg or Green's preferably). Unfortunately, they had neither of those. I was able to walk away with the Impossible Burger and Omission gluten free beer though, so at least I wasn't completely empty-handed. The store was clean and well laid out. And the staff was very helpful, which helped make the experience better, even though they didn't have what I really wanted.

If you've been to Sugar and Spice in Jamaica and haven't been able to find high quality cakes in NC, this is the place to go!! Their Vanilla cake with whipped cream icing is my personal go-to for birthdays and celebrations. Their online ordering for cakes is extremely easy to use and you can specify gluten-free, without a significant difference in taste and texture.

I find all I need that is for a healthy diet and my needs: soft tofu, A2 milk, veggie burgers, gluten free crackers, flour, pancake mix, freeze dried veggies for snacks. Also every kind of fresh fruit and veggie. Friendly staff, wide ailes, fast check out.
