I can’t recommend Red Bandana Bakery enough! As a parent of a son with celiac disease and both of my sons who are lactose intolerant, finding a bakery that can create a beautiful, delicious cake that accommodates all of our dietary needs is a rare find. Red Bandana went above and beyond, crafting a stunning, gluten-free and vegan birthday cake topped with an adorable melting ice cream cone design. The cake itself was incredibly moist and flavorful, and even though vegan cakes have a slightly different texture compared to traditional ones, it was still absolutely delicious. For anyone unfamiliar with vegan or gluten-free cakes, just be aware that the texture is different than a typical cake, but for us, it was a hit! It’s so hard to find a fancy, well-decorated cake that meets these dietary restrictions, and Red Bandana delivered in style. A huge thank you for making our special occasion even better with such a fabulous cake!

I have Celiac disease and this place was a godsend. I went a bit overboard and almost got one of every baked good from the shelf haha. I tried the chocolate chip cookie, brownie and blueberry muffin. I also got the cinnamon waffle wrap. All of these items are things I haven't been able to have in years or if I have had them, they've been gluten free and extremely dry. Everything I ate here tasted amazing. The textures are on point. I would post pictures of the things I got but I ate them all too fast. Definitely give this place a try!

I have been here three times because they have gluten free brownies and now I am pretty sure this is the most overhyped bakery in this area. 1. the staff are totally untrained in even basic human courtesy. They act as if they are giving free food to the customers. 2. The brownie size, appearance and taste are inconsistent. Once we were given a broken brownie that was half the thickness of a decent one on the shelf. 5$ for that is beyond ridiculous. Overall, would never recommend this place and actively discourage others from going there.
