Bittersweet Gluten-Free Bakery

I stopped by this bakery yesterday in search of a scone. Having lived in London, the Capital of Scones, I am always looking for an awesome scone. So many gluten-free ones have previously been a bit disappointing. But this one was totally great - blueberry with white chocolate chips. As well, the gentleman who served me was helpful and interesting. I have already told a number of my gluten-free friends and am confident that they will be pleased.

I love the baked goods they produce here! They could work on their customer service. As soon as I walk in, I feel rushed. The customer service prevents me from shopping here as often as I could. Product is important, but customer service matters equally.

While it's nice to have a 100% gluten free bakery in the Twin Cities, I haven't seen any attempts to improve or evolve their products since I first tried them shortly after Celiac diagnosis in 2007. The baked sweets have always been very good, with a nice variety available. However, the market has changed since 2007, and even Trader Joes has tasty cookies and cupcakes, without the drive. Having said that, the variety of the sweets makes getting those worth the effort. I can't recommend any of the breads here. It tastes as though it's still the same formula they used when the competition was basically sawdust a decade ago. I'd love to see an updated formula as I think local, fresh gluten free business are very important. However, even understanding this is a small, family fun local bakery, $4.50 for a half loaf that must be toasted and is no longer justified. If I have to toast, the market has evolved too much to justify the drive, sometimes requiring time off work since small shops like this (understandably) only have a few hours a week that are office worker friendly. Overall three stars for being a ground breaking business, for the tasty sweets with consideration for not evolving the formula, the prices for the bread (I think the prices on the sweets are reasonable, though) and the difficult hours. I'd love to see this continue to be the go-to for Celiacs, and am hoping to see some new and better bread products in the future!

Thank you, Bittersweet Bakery. I was just diagnosed with Celiacs disease and I’m so thankful for a delicious bakery to satisfy my sweet cravings. Everything is delicious and I’m glad I can trust it’s safe for me to eat.

Having a wife who has gluten and soy issues, the man behind the counter was very helpful and knew what was in all the items without having to look them up. Now on to the treats!! I got the cinnamon and sugar doughnuts, almond bunt cake, and the lemon bar. The almond bunt cake was super moist and had great flavor. The doughnuts were also very moist and almost a buttery goodness, with a nice coating of cinnamon and sugar. The lemon bar was also good! If you're looking for a gluten free bakery. This is the place. Thank you Bittersweet for having baked goods for my wife (and me)!
