The bagels don’t taste good and the rest of the food is middling given the cost. The food does not look like it does in the pictures (check yelp for phone camera pictures instead). Additionally it’s obscene that they’ve raised prices multiple times in the past calendar year outpacing inflation.

The best donuts I have ever had (GF/DF aside). The cinnamon rolls and jalapeño cheddar rolls were also spectacular. Excellent service. I will make it a point to return every time I visit Santa Monica. TWO THUMBS WAY UP!

Everything is gluten free but be aware that some products contain oats. They have a binder of allergens and if you have any questions the staff is more than happy to help!

Staff was very kind, everything was dedicated gluten-free - but what we didn’t know was that it was also dairy free. Food looked amazing, but was disappointing. The cookie was very chewy and didn’t have much volume or taste to it, the cakes and cupcakes tasted somewhat dense (rather than fluffy - it felt like you were eating condensed bread), the teacakes were also similarly dense + tasteless + the donuts were very mid. Their frosting generally tasted very good, but the cake/pastry bases themselves weren’t good at all. My family liked the cinnamon coffee cake the best, and I definitely enjoyed the topping to cake ratio, but the cake was, again, disappointing, and the topping was somewhat tasteless and dense. Wouldn’t go back. Might be nice if you are dairy free and have celiac/are gluten free, but as someone who can have dairy, it wasn’t fantastic. Their merch and cafe was very cute, though - just a bit overpriced.

I have to say I bought a cake for my friends birthday , $100 for a small cake and it was terrible . It was a red velvet with white frosting . It was heavy handed and way to sweet . No finesse never again

My sons favorite GF/DF bakery. For him to be able to go in and get anything he wants… doesn’t get any better than that! We’ve had the treats (cupcakes, cookies, etc) as well as breakfast (pancakes). Super happy with everything we’ve tried!

I’ve been eating Erin McKenna’s treats since she opened Babycakes on Broome in NY. Been to all but Orlando. Safe and vegan too! Love that Santa Monica does sweet AND savory!

I've been here a couple of times and I've ordered the biscuits & gravy, summer squash zucchini frittata and their donuts. All were very good. Coffee is great too. The staff is super friendly. This place is a dedicated gluten free and vegan place. I am celiac and I highly recommend it!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really don’t love this place. Their prices are outrageously expensive for the quality and taste. The donuts and most of the menu are WAY too sweet to the point of being icky and the consistency is more of a cake than a donut. I’ve tried almost everything in their store upon moving in the area 5 years ago, not all of it is bad, but most I find hard to finish with the mix they use. $8 for a tiny cinnamon roll? C’mon. Their bagels are their best item, which doesn’t agree with my stomach (guessing heavy xantham gum), but they taste great.

It was a busy Sunday, but, myself and another group of customers waited for 10 minutes to just get greeted. I ordered the bagel and vegan cream cheese and plain donut. I got the bagel and their vegan butter, and their donut.

The beagle was good, but it was moist, but super crumbley. The donut was good flavor but grainy. I wanted coffee but the machine was broken.

I think I will try again on a weekday, and order some schmeer from Noah's 😂
