If you ever need vegan and gluten free grub, make sure to hit up Gluuteny! They have the best baked good, cakes, cupcakes you name it. It's so nice to have a place to accomodafolks with food restrictions.
I lived this place at one time and always paid too ! For their gluten free treats. I would often volunteer to get the pies and surprise people when I told them it was gluten free. When I was last in I was shocked at the prices and the fact that gnats were all through their cases on the food they were selling in the middle of winter. The ridiculously priced cookies weren’t even good. I hope they get back to what they once were bc now it’s just disappointing.
Updated reply for my honest review to owner: I do not always shop myself and I use to bring family and friends with me. Your prices were outrageous a few months ago and I only shop local. Since you are a small shop does that mean it is okay to have rude staff and gnats in your food cases?! Trying times does not justify $40 pies. I gladly bought your over priced gluten free goods when I was created with a smile and the food was worth it.
Thank You Zoe and Nathan for your assistance; it was truly appreciated. I received a refund for my burnt cookie and a replacement along with a cinnamon swirl and they were delightful this time!! Thanks Again!
Wonderful Custom Printed Chocolate cake! Vegan deliciousness. Highly recommend this tasty little cake! Great to be able to order a specialty item and still have it look and taste great. Super fast and so friendly
First things first, I highly recommend this place. Everything we had was moist, flavorful and creatively put together.
Second, I made the mistake of reading other reviews - solely because I was so surprised by their 4.1 stars as of now. So I'll do a bit of defending here :)
Here's our order on 5/30/21:
- Pockets: 4 Pizza & 4 BBQ Chickpea
- Bagels: 4 Plain & 4 Cheddar Garlic
- Muffins: 3 Banana Nut & 1 Blueberry
- Donuts: 3 Coconut Topped & 1 Raspberry Topped

- Dessert Sampler: 1 each of Hollywood Square, Vegan Brownie, Vanilla Cake, Vanilla Cheesecake, Funfetti Gob
My family and I are road tripping cross the country, so this was a planned destination on our way through as we're vegan and I'm gluten intolerant. I've got great support and this was a treat for all of us during our week long stay in Pennsylvania. Not everything was eaten in 1 day - but we came really close to doing so...
I would recommend everything we had. If I had to pick one to say "Maybe skip it?", it would be the Lite Espresso cupcake because my partner ate it so fast I never got to try it.
Seriously though, I was blown away to read the negative reviews. (It only makes me wonder if there are multiple bakers, and one or more aren't pulling their weight.)
Simply put, we all loved this place and felt so inspired by all the creative options that we are looking forward to creating on our own versions when we arrive at our destination, a la Nailed It :D
I wish I could give them 0 stars. I could not believe my eyes when I saw my nephew's cake. I am SO DISAPPOINTED. And beyond that I'm ANGRY with their customer service. I vouched for them and the return, an absolutely horrid birthday cake. I mean the picture speaks for itself.
The design itself was child-like, beginners work if anything. I couldn't believe they asked $64 for a piece that shouldn't have been over $20 if anything. (And yes, I've discussed this with other Professional Bakers). Not to mention the cake didn't even taste that good, it was EXTREMELY DRY.
Never again, please don't bother with this place.
Neither my wife and I have any issues with gluten, however she insisted that I try their chocolate brownie I was a bit hesitant at first, but once I got there and saw how nice their bakery goods look and how professional they are my mind changed, I got excited to try the deluxe brownie. And as always my wife was right, it was absolutely delicious.. I could have never guessed it was gluten free or suspected anything! This place is legit, my wife's co worker has celiac disease and suffers severe symptoms if he eats anything that has even been near gluten, the baked goods from here give him absolutely no problems! This place is totally legit and they deserve 5 stars all the way.
The baked items were fairly good but they were very dry, we stopped by on a Sunday after lunch so perhaps they were not so fresh by then. The icing was really hard and crunchy on the cupcake, my brownie needed to be washed down with a ton of milk and the snickerdoodle was burned on the edges but the middle was good.
This place is expensive as well and if you are not vegan or like 93% of all Americans and can process gluten without issue then I would go somewhere else as the high cost vs. quality just doesn’t work out. I usually compare these types of places to the Bakery by my home in Oakmont and this is a place I would not recommend and will not visit again unless I was sure I was getting a baked good that was 10 min from being pulled from the oven.
I’m sure part of the cost is all the vegan/no gluten stuff but if you are a carnivore like me with no issues with gluten there are better places in the area.
I did like how they support the LGBTQ community, that is a positive thing to see.
Absolutely love this place! They have the best gluten free treats in Pittsburgh! My only complaint is that they should have more locations. We used this bakery for our wedding cake last year and it was amazing. They decorated it so beautifully, the quality was excellent, and we got so many compliments! It was wonderful to be able to eat cake at my wedding and my guests with gluten intolerance loved being able to eat cake too! Keep up the great work. I recommend this place to everyone who suffers from severe gluten allergies or Celiacs disease.
