As someone who can’t tolerate lactose and doesn’t handle gluten well, I was thrilled to discover this place. Seeing their great reviews on Google made me very curious to try it, and I’m so glad I did!
The shop is clean, the display counter is large, and everything looks incredibly tempting. My boyfriend and I debated for a while before deciding to be reasonable and pick one pastry each, along with a box of macarons to-go. And wow—these were by far the best gluten- and dairy-free pastries I’ve ever had. The texture was light and fluffy, without that dry, crumbly feel that so many gluten-free options tend to have.

I was the only customer too so it’s not like she...

A huge variety of pastries, all gluten- and dairy-free, but by some kind of magic taste like regular gluten-filled pastries. I asked the server what her favorite of the breakfast pastries were and without hesitation she said the apricot danish. It wouldn't have been my first choice and I haven't seen it mentioned in other reviews, but glad I got the rec as it was one of the best foods I've ever eaten! Light, flaky, just the right amount of sweet. Also got a croissant to go, which was delicious slightly warmed...
