I found this unique bakery, "Sweet Thumb Artisanal Baking Company" while I was driving on Torrance Boulevard in Torrance. It was hard to find the parking lot so I parked on the street. Later I found out they had the parking lot at the back of the building. I went inside the bakery. It was cleaned and well-maintained. I was greeted by a friendly lady who was both an owner and a baker. They had all kinds of baked goods such as cookies, brownies, tarts, and cakes. They baked all kinds of goodies without butter, milk & eggs. And they used plant-based ingredients. They offered small samples of gluten-free goodies and I tried the samples. They were really delicious! I bought a lemon cream tart, raspberry cookies , and an energy drink. I tried the lemon cream tart. It was not that sweet. When I tried the first bite, it was amazing!

I knew that it wasn't easy to bake gluten-free goods because I tried to bake gluten-free goods and it didn't come out good. I would like to recommend this bakery to everyone.

Read moreWow! A vegan AND gluten-free bakery! As in...99% of the items are BOTH vegan and gluten-free. This is a rare find and we're so glad we found them recently. We tried many of their items and especially enjoyed the mango-coconut cookie, lemon tart, and blueberry-yuzu galette amongst other baked goods. We got a cup of drip coffee which was so smooth and rich! They have a small refrigerator that has Stumptown cold coffee (the best) drinks! They also make empanadas and we highly recommend the rosemary-mushroom filled one.
The owner/baker is a lovely lady who is so passionate about baking that she shifted careers a few years ago to bake full-time! She understands the need and importance of vegan, gluten-free baked goods and it will be great to see her evolve in her...
Read moreI have been coming to Sweet Thumb for months now and let me tell you Arnie's gluten and sugar cookies are addicting! I stayed away from cookies and sweets for a while because of the sugar, calories, and artificial ingredients. UNTIL I visited this place 🤤 It took me a little while for my taste buds to adjust to not sugary like pastries though, but at the end it was worth it. I can enjoy my pastries now without feeling guilty or worrying about sugar or gluten. Please give this bakery a chance. Annie (owner) is the most sweetest and gifted baker I've ever known. You can tell she pours love and craft into her work for the...
