The Difference Baker

We had chocolate chip cookies that were right out of the oven and they were the best I’ve had anywhere in the area.

This bakery is actually mostly vegan, with a small number of items that are not vegan. Ok, maybe not small, like maybe 20% of the items are not vegan, but that's really good for a shop that focuses on being gluten free and not vegan. Love that they have so many vegan options! I love the freezer section because there are just that many more options, and you don't have to worry to call ahead or pre-plan, as there are tons to choose from for your gluten free palate to be happy. They had bagels, baguettes, waffles, cookies, cakes, pizza, and pizza dough. I was in a rush so I didn't order any food to be made to order, but, next time. From the "fresh" cases on display, I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, 2 creme pies and a cinnamon roll. The double chocolate chip creme pie/ cookie sandwich was awesome, but, the price is not something someone can just say, yes, let me order half a dozen ($24) for a party on a whim. The regular chocolate chip cookie was good in flavor and the exterior looked good, but the interior seemed a little underbaked for my taste. Overall, I was very happy with the Difference Baker and its vegan offerings, and I would highly recommend to anyone who is vegan and gluten free in their dietary choices.

The Difference Baker has been an amazing way for our family to celebrate family gatherings together. With both gluten-free and Vegan family member, this bakery provided college graduation cakes, 80th birthday cakes for grandparents and countless treats and surprises we could all eat together. Truly amazing food and highly recommend!

Nice little spot that is all gluten free (among other dietary restriction) friendly. Frozen to go items include breads, bagels, pasties and even prepared meals like Stromboli and pastas. Fresh cookies and pastries were great and they offered to warm them up (recommended). They also offer fresh sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches as well, a really nice spot if you have dietary challenges. Also, small outside dining area.

Small donuts. Not same size as usual from other places. Products not labed as dietary needs. Confusing. Donut holes with powered sugar were a mess, way too much sugar. Got everywhere once I opened the box . Probably wouldn't try them again

I have been GF for years and in search of a bakery that serves, fresh AND warm baked goods and I have found it in the difference baker. This warm cinnamon roll was so good I almost cried.

Omg I was so thrilled to find out this place was just a mile from me. They make vegan glazed donuts on the spot, served warm and fresh, and their vegan breakfast sandwich with coconut bacon flakes is divine. Note that there is outdoor seating only. They also have a freezer of pre-made goods for take and bake as well. Everything is very well labeled (vegan, gluten free, etc). This place is definitely my guilty pleasure :).

Thank you for the fantastic cupcakes for our daughters 7th birthday party! Everyone absolutely loved them!

Wonderful bakery for those with food allergies. Our daughter has multiple food restrictions due to allergies and they are extremely knowledgeable with many options. We had cake, donuts and cinnamon rolls. It was all delicious

The best allergy free bakery in the area!

My daughter just celebrated her 5th birthday and 2 weeks prior to her party her normal baker (in Richmond) cancelled on us. We were then panicking because our daughter has a few of the top 9 allergens (severe) but we recommended by our community page to “The Difference Baker” here locally. They were phenomenal in responding especially with it being last minute and so close to the holidays. We are so grateful! The cupcakes look exactly like the photo I sent in. The taste of these cupcakes were so good. I 100% recommend using “The Difference Baker”.
