Consistently, reliably mids. I have never once had something "delicious" here, but it's never been outright inedible either. It's just consistently meh. If i had another GF option nearby, I'd go there. The dough is often either overly dry (as gluten free tends to be) or overly chewy... definitely needs improvement, especially considering the prices.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free (dedicated)
Wheelchair accessibility: Not even remotely. Down some steep steps. There is also nowhere to sit inside, nor anywhere covered outside.

The mushroom and Gouda pastry is phenomenal! The pastry does have a little bit of that gritty texture that gluten free goods tend to have, but it's buttery and flaky and delicious! Was less impressed by the lemon curd donut, that was ok but not amazing. The person that helped us was super cool, answered all our questions, had a little chat about vegan choux pastry. Be aware there's not really anywhere to sit and eat in the store, it's very very small, but it's a nice area and just around the corner from the park if you want to eat outside.
Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options

Elegant Elephant is my savior! Everything I’ve tried is excellent. I’ve been buying her goods for years, a true local. I just found the Bakery, grab and go, beautiful case with lots of GF goodies and a freezer with pies and bread, etc. I tried the Chicken Pot Pie and it reminded me of homemade chicken soup with the most buttery, delicious crust! I had to write a review. Do yourself a favor and try this home grown, made from scratch gem, soooo good!!

Im not really sure what happened with your chocolate pies. My local market used to order them for me often because I loved them, they were rich and creamy and delicious.. however, at some point they became dense and pasty and not very delicious. It’s like the whole texture, consistency, and flavor changed. I quit ordering them for quite some time, but recently decided to try again just to see if things have changed. Sadly, no. I’m no longer a fan. Sorry.
Eugene's wonderful gluten-free bakery.

Best place in town for gluten free baked goods. A little pricey but worth it for special occasions.

Their bread is unfortunately tasteless. I tried the almond and sourdough loafs—almond was definitely better. Would recommend Hideaway instead.
Elegant elephant is my go to gluten free spot!
Things I’ve tried-
Blueberry scone 10/10 *it’s very sweet*
Cupcake (any) 10/10
Focaccia bread 10/10 *it’s literally perfect*
Almond bread 8/10 *it’s on the sweet end*
Quiche 10/10
Chocolate donut 10/10 *more cake texture than donut but very yummy. Just don’t expect it to taste like an actual donut*
Brownie 10/10
Banana bread 10/10 *most of my friends didn’t even know it’s GF*
Anything Savory 1000/10 *the best. Mushroom Gouda danish*
These are my regular purchases that I would recommend.

We drove over to this bakery not knowing it was only gluten free. We did not purchase anything but wanted to post this in case anyone else doesnt realize this before going.
Let me preface this by saying I am a GF tourist constantly on the hunt for a good donut. I love trying new places all over the US and I can say with certainty that this place missed the mark for me. I ordered several pastries (savory and sweet) and a cappuccino for around $40, most of which I’d never purchase again. A few points of concern: there was not a working microwave to warm up the baked goods, this is not a sit-down style establishment, nor was there a public bathroom in case you need one. Probably the worst cappuccino I’ve ever tasted (the staff drinking coffee from a place down the street should have been a sign) but thankfully the lemon cheese danish was scrumptious! I also enjoyed the blueberry scone, it’s a nice soft texture and was perfect when I warmed it up at the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend the chocolate donut, spend the money on anything else. The staff were very courteous and polite with every customer we saw. This place does have GF/vegan options in case someone needed to know.I do appreciate that they have a rotating selection of items, I would be willing to go back and see if maybe I caught them on an off day. I’ll update my review if I ever return.
Vegetarian options: I didn’t see anything that wasn’t vegetarian in the case.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan, gluten free, paleo

I actually have never been, and didn’t know it existed. I don’t have to eat gluten free, but my friend does. He brought me the most delicious strawberry macaron, that I have ever had. He told me after I ate it, that it was gluten free. I can’t wait to have another one. It was the largest macaron I’ve ever had (bonus-?), and I am crazy for the chew, just perfection!

My daughter and I visited this cute little bakery today and I am so beyond happy that I did. Being gluten free and dairy free it can be very hard for me to find tasty treats and today I scored! I got a cake pop for the same price as Starbucks and 100x better and won’t hurt me lol a donut for the little lady, and a scone and blackberry pie for later with a small coffee to go! I paid $20 with tip and enjoyed every bite. I will be back for more and making sure all my GF friends know about it
