Dempsey Bakery — Restaurant in Little Rock

I've eaten at great gluten free bakeries all over the country, we live in an RV and travel all over the US and Canada. Recently I had to eliminate not only gluten but also soy and dairy. I thought my days of dessert were over forever. We were in Little Rock for 4 days and only found out about this treasure in Sunday and they we're closed on Sunday and Monday. I had read that they were gluten and soy free but also had dairy free too. We were getting ready to leave on Tuesday morning, so I drove over to pick up a few things to try and Paula was so helpful helping me make my selections.

I didn't try anything until we got to Hot Springs and I thought I was in Heaven. I made my husband try a very small bite of a cookie and he was very impressed. The Jai Cookies dipped in chocolate were my favorite, wish I had bought more. The Lava Cakes were also great. My only regret is that I didn't get more.

We have passed through Little Rock many times and never stopped but I would stop just to go back to Demsey Bakery and also eat lunch. I got a loaf of rye bread it is also delicious. Congratulations to Paula and family for my new favorite bakery in the country! What an...

Finding a place as epic as Dempsey Bakery in Little Rock is like finding a diamond in a coconut, just awesome.

Moving here from Texas I was hoping there would be a gluten free restaurant or too but I certainly didn't expect an entire bakery! First visit was amazing, this is a gluten free/food allergen paradise for someone who's searching for quality food. Soon as I walked in I was welcomed by the nice bakers and I was already sampling and sniffing everything around, they have coolers with frozen goods ready to take home, an entire bakery on the other side where one employee was mixing some stuff up, and a display full of dessert goodies. I can't wait to go back to try lunch, they serve lunch until 2PM which includes sandwiches, salads, and pizzas!

Took home some fresh baked bread and made myself a sandwich, probably one of the best gluten-free breads made today. The meatloaf dinner was so darn good I couldn't believe it was all gluten free, and the Allie-O's nomnomnom. My favorite snack was the Owl sugar cookies, now that is a cookie I could eat daily.

Thank you Dempsey for having a allergen friendly bakery for a person like me,...

I flew into Little Rock to visit a long time friend and the 1st place she took me from the airport was to Dempsey's Bakery. I have been gluten free due to severe gluten intolerance for 4 1/2 years and this place is AMAZING!! I wasn't expecting the quantity of options available and everything I sampled was delicious. Getting gluten free products to have a "gluten like" texture as in one that had some pull and refinement is not easy. Dempsey's has a great selection of samples to try when you walk in all of which were delicious as well as a huge variety of baked goods in their glass displays and frozen goods to take home for later. The owner Paula welcomed us and was so helpful and friendly. She clearly has a passion for bringing fresh baked preservative free food to everyone - including those who are gluten intolerant and even those who have nut, tapioca, and dairy allergies! She has managed to create products that are free of these allergens without losing any of the richness or flavor that a regular wheat based baked good would have.

Thanks so much for the yummy welcome to Little Rock Dempsey's! I wish you'd come to...
