The Beehive Pantry — Restaurant in Bristol

I had a vanilla cupcake with blackberry buttercream frosting. I love cupcakes and am pretty picky about them. Wow! This was the best vanilla cupcake I have ever had, and the frosting was superb! I'm looking forward to trying your other flavors. Well done! We also purchased the fresh made flax bread and had it sliced there for us. Wow! Amazing! Again, I don't eat a lot of bread, but when I do, it has to be fabulous...and this one is! The texture, softness, and taste are all perfect. Great toasted or for sandwiches. I highly recommend both items.

She said there was a long line of customers and that it's first served. I was very surprised and disappointed at this response to my request.

In conclusion love the place, love that it’s still close by the home store, love the selection, still has all the great great drinks and the barista with like half blonde hair and...

So this is only a review of their offerings for people with celiac or a true gluten allergy. They advertise themselves as having gluten free but they don't have e a dedicated kitchen and they don't seem to worry about cross contamination when they put things out on display; putting cookies with gluten in them above cookies that are supposedly gluten free but if even one crumb fell on it I'd get really sick. If you have celiac just avoid the place... I ended up going to a place in Providence for my gluten free food after cancelling...
