We recently had the most wonderful experience with Dalton’s cakes. Our daughter can’t have sugar and our son can’t have peanuts. We talked to Allison and Takara about possibly making a sugar-free cake for our daughter’s birthday which is not something they offer usually.
But they offered to test a few recipes to determine if they can make a sugar-free cake for us. They were super diligent with the tests because anything they release from their store has to not only be super healthy but also super delicious!
When we finally went to pick up the cake, they shared that they are allergic to certain sweeteners, but they really wanted to help us out so they went the extra mile for us to try and figure out a recipe just for us!
I was stunned - who does this?! They are amazing human beings in addition to being top-class bakers!!! Can’t recommend them highly enough!!! And yes the cake was absolutely beautiful and delicious 😋

Absolutely remarkable work with buttercream frosting! Hired them to make one of my Mothers birthday cakes for her tea party themed celebration. They absolutely executed the assignment, and hit it out of the ballpark!
Appreciate the staff’s willingness to want to create what I envision for my mom‘s birthday cake. Her favorite color is purple. She was having an evening tea party celebration. We wanted to incorporate sunset feels with Roman inspired aesthetic to the cake with pillars and flowers. it was truly beautiful Because it’s what my mother and I imagined.
Thank you for not only cultivating something so beautiful on the outside but delicious on the inside as well!
We ordered a carrot cake on the bottom tier and asked for a surprise flavor on the top tier. We got red velvet! And talk about correctly, made moist cake! Soft, not mushy phenomenal phenomenal phenomenal work thank you so much. I apologize for my pictures not being the best. Recommend this place and we’ll go again.

Dalton's is 100% GF. The food tastes great, can't even tell it is GF. The owners are very welcoming and friendly as well. Plus size, their prices are reasonable too. Definitely recommend it. They also serve breakfast and lunch.

Dalton cakes is absolutely amazing! I’ve been getting cakes for my kids birthdays there for the past 7 years. Alison is incredibly sweet, kind, attentive to detail, and makes delicious cakes. She is accommodating and brings every vision to life beautifully. Her level of customer service is also unparalleled.

I wanted to like this place because the staff was so nice and reviews were good so I ordered my sons birthday cake. No one liked the cake. It was dry and taste like it had been baked and frozen weeks before. The next day it tasted worse,like doughy and gritty. The fresh fruit was fine but not good if cake is not good. The other thing I hate about this place is the cleanliness. For a place that serves food, they could use some classes on sanitation ans hygiene. I was going to use bathroom but changed my mind after walking in and seeing the dirty bathroom. Dirty as in a ring in the toilet, dust,and spider webs, dirty mirror,etc. The place itself is dingy and could use some cleaning itself. I had to wait 45 min before my cake was done and held it because I was scared of the bathroom and am terrified of mice and spiders and felt like they have some I al sure.

The ladies that greeted and helped were super allergen conscious and very aware of the ingredients in their products! And super super friendly. I will absolutely be a regular at this spot going forward

The owner is sweet as can be and so nice. They go above and beyond! The donuts are impeccable. The cupcakes are child approved and the milk shakes are the epitome of perfection.

This British bakehouse is phenomenal, personable, and not insanely priced. I'm not even gluten free and I loved it. My friend has celiac disease and is so limited when it comes to wheat eats so we went there as a small group to try it out and have some weekend fun. We each drooled over everything we ordered, (and I have a professional baking background so I'm pretty discerning)... Lemon bars, raspberry cake, other vanilla cake of some kind, sprinkled donuts and lattes. Go get them. Now. You're welcome. When I'm in the area again I will definitely be back for another sugar rush.

Channeling my inner Janice here—OH. MY. GAWD. Dalton’s pastries are absolutely next level! The flavor? Divine. The softness? Like a sugar-coated cloud. The variety? A full-on pastry parade. MWAH! Huge kudos to the Dalton family—they’ve baked up pure magic! EDITED: WE JUST TRIED THE RASPBERRY LEMON BAR!!!! Aaaaahhh so good!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Daltons Cakes! They went above and beyond to create a beautiful and absolutely delicious cake for my son’s birthday that was completely egg-free. From the moment I contacted them, their kindness and dedication to accommodating our needs were truly impressive! They took the time to ensure everything was perfect, and the end result was beyond our expectations. The cake was not only stunning but tasted amazing—moist, flavorful, and loved by everyone at the party! I am so grateful for their exceptional service and care. Highly recommend this amazing bakery for any special occasion!

I called in an order for a cupcake bouquet and was extremely disappointed in the execution, presentation, and flavor of the cupcakes.
Instead of receiving a bouquet, there were 14 separate cupcakes that vaguely resembled flowers. None of the other discussed decorations were included.
Additionally, the flavors themselves (vanilla, lemon, and red velvet) were underwhelming— especially the red velvet. I don’t normally leave negative reviews for gluten free bakeries, because I’m usually so grateful to find one, but this was truly off the mark.
I ordered a 2 layer white sheet cake with buttercream frostingwith strawberry cream filling and i did not get a white cake! I was very disappointed with the cake because this is the request for mother to be.

As someone who very recently went gluten free - Dalton's Cakes has been Heaven sent. Their whole team is SO warm and kind. From my interactions over the phone ordering cakes, to stopping by for a pastry - they always are above and beyond. We have now ordered two birthday cakes and I have tried an assortment of the pastries. The cakes are so good, my mother who is NOT GF, requested I order her birthday cake from here since mine was so good. Their coffee is also wonderful. Thankful to have found this place!
We had a beautiful gluten-free cake made for my daughter who has celiac. Our whole family raved about how delicious the cake was, not even knowing it was gluten-free! We will definitely be back!!
