Located on Lincoln Blvd., between Washington and Venice Blvd. is a slightly hidden shop between all the others that line the street, but at first glance of their display case, your eyes will widen and your salivary glands go into overdrive. *Hint- all desserts labeled as a “Saint” are gluten-free, and can either be low in sugar or fats; and also offer Paleo diet, and Vegan options.
Cannoli- Filled with peanut butter and strawberry jam, then topped with chopped pistachio nuts. Man, oh man, did it ever feel like the better parts of my chubby childhood brought back into the present when I took my first bite into this lip smacking cannoli. Good thing I’ve developed somewhat of a bit of self control, or else I would’ve annihilated the whole lot of these.
Red Velvet Cupcakes-Yes, I know. What’s the big deal with red velvet, EVERYBODY’S got it on their menus, right? Well, in their case, however it is that their recipe is modified, it’s working. The batter itself is lighter, crumbles beautifully, and its moisture content is higher than the other red velvets I’ve tried anywhere else. Also, paired with the creamiest frosting that is so on point, my fat ass was ready to buy it on the side like a junkie wanting to score a fix.
Bourbon Croissant Bread Pudding- Warm and fresh out of the oven. Amazing flavor with the diced apples and cinnamon infused within as if an apple strudel and a bruleéd French toast had a drunken threesome with a rich and buttery croissant, then nine months later this bread pudding was born. I must have it again.
Gluten Free Blackberry Goat Cheese Cheesecake – As soon as I read the description, I had to try it. It seemed like this particular cheesecake was specifically made for my sister. It is rich and decadent in flavors, without worry of it affecting your health. The tartness of the berries is balanced out by the sweetened, creaminess of the goat cheese. You definitely get hypnotized by swirls of the blackberry infusion within the cake itself. Well worth trying at least once in your life… or twice.
Gluten Free Caramel Cheesecake – A soft and crumbly crust that is covered with a thick, insanely good cheesecake topped with Dulce de Leche, or caramel sauce for you non-food speaking adventurers. It is also garnished with hefty pieces of peanut brittle putting other candy/dessert shops to shame. I tried to pace myself eating this beauty so it would last me for at least two days..Was gone by the end of the...
Read moreBest bakery in town... they cater to almost everyone! Our last several birthday cakes (Tres Leches & Vanilla withStrawberries) have been from here and NO ONE could tell they were eating gluten free cake! In fact... everyone kept asking who made the cake they loved it so much!
Brilliant concept - Any items labeled “Sinner” is delicious, naughty goodness
Any items labeled “Saint” is either Gluten free, vegan or both! How cool is that?
They were giving out samples of their savory menu - yum. Sandwiches, salads & sides all with the same Saint or Sinner labeling system. Every item was the bomb! We are for sure coming back for lunch soon.
Here’s what we bought... yes we may have gone overboard ALL GLUTEN FREE:
Focaccia bread to make sandwiches Cheddar cheese scones Cinnamon vanilla cupcake Almond Strawberry cupcake Biscotti Chocolate chip cookie Oatmeal raisin cookie M&M cookie Peanut butter cookie sandwiches Chocolate peanut butter cookie Chocolate cherry brownie Tres Leches cake
Again, we may have gone overboard but it’s SO RARE to be able to get gluten free desserts that don’t taste like it.
Everyone would be happy at Sinners & Saints!...

I am not gluten free either, my wife is, but I cannot tell the cakes are gluten free. Which is why they are the main choice because it satisfies everyone's needs.
I was first nervous to spend a premium for their cakes, they are expensive, but they serve a lot of people or just last longer for us. After our first vanilla with fruit gf cake, we order pretty much a cake for every special occasion. We were impressed with the quality of the cakes and the care that went into making them. Great bakers.
You must place your order in advance but they are on time and always give you what you ask for.
We have tried most of their gluten free cakes, as you can tell from the pictures. Here is our recommendation in order of our favorites but even the last one is good.
