Finally got a chance to visit today. Should have gone sooner! Best gluten free bread i have had. Almond claw was amazing and the pastry on the ham and cheese was flaky and perfect! Very friendly service. I so appreciate having this option close to home. I will be back. Thank you!

As a gluten sensitive person it’s hard to travel a find something safe and delicious to eat. Melinda’s is amazing! I had an incredible cheddar ham and bacon sandwhich and a maple donut that were to die for. Both don’t bother my stomach at all and both were just incredible!

What a find! Absolutely delicious donuts: perfect cakey moist texture, wonderful flavor and plenty of sweetness without being cloying (natural sweetness, not artificial at all). Even the non gluten-free family members were very impressed! You cannot tell it's gluten-free. Many items were vegan or dairy- or egg-free. We had the Maple and the chocolate with vanilla icing. So good. Will try some savories next time, too. Definitely worth a visit!

My maple donut was lovely. The cinnamon roll was flavorless, undercooked & heavy- unfortunately inedible. It’s hard to do gluten free items. I didn’t try anything else. Perhaps the other choices would have been more delightful.

We bought 4 baked options for $20! 2 maple glazed donuts, 1 apple fritter, 1 cinnamon pastry. The maple donuts were okay, the dough was moist and flat tasting. The glaze was good. The apple fritter's dough was not tasty. Not sweet, and chewy, gummy. The cinnamon pastry was rock hard, with too much ginger (?), not pleasant. I bake with gf flour, mine are not gummy or chewy.

I recently purchased for the first time, a gluten free sour dough roundloaf.
I was happy and excited to try it.
At home, I was disappointed that there was ZERO flavor of Sour. $12.00
Plus, the bread seems not thoroughly baked on the inside. It's golden on the outside.
I realize that Gluten free bread will be softer, but it just seems not thoroughly baked.
I slice it and put it in the toaster oven.
I will purchase my next gluten free sourdough round at a different bakery to compare. Hopefully, it will have the Sour flavor and a more baked inside.
I purchased a gluten free donut, and that was good.

Come early, it all sells out. 4 stars for being gluten free! The breads are a little dense for me.
This place is amazing! To have a place to eat without the usual Celiacs worry is one thing, but to have the treats be top notch and the staff and atmosphere so friendly makes this place exceptional! Don’t miss it!!

We came here last-minute to grab a gluten-free cupcake for a guest at our wedding. We didn't get to sample it, but she said 5 stars, so, thanks Melinda's!

A lady crowded in front of us and the employee just let her. Portions seemed smaller than other gluten free bakery. They did have several choices for a gluten and soy allergy.
