Harumi UAugust 12, 2014I have eaten treats at number of gluten free shops and this is definitely one of the best. Cupcakes don't transport that well so if you want to take out goods, choose something else. They are all good
Max PerrySeptember 21, 2015Raspberry Almond Crumble Muffin,White Cheddar Jalapeno Corn Muffin,Individual Coffee Cake. All delicious, almond crumble muffin is the best. And don't forget to taste the mini cupcakes!
AdamSeptember 23, 2012Best gluten free bakery in NYC. It's so good that you won't even notice that everything is gluten free. Definitely worth the visit. And they even deliver to a lot of areas in Manhattan. 5 stars.
Everything is good here. Cup cakes, Cookies, Doughnuts. Try out there brownies is the best. When I say the best it's the best!
Halstead PropertyJuly 11, 2013Although gluten-free, taste is absolutely not sacrificed. The red velvet cupcake was so moist with its beautifully swirled thick, cream cheese frosting that was truly the icing on top of the cake!
Anika KingApril 4, 2013Get a pumpkin loaf to eat later and make sure to order the mini cupcakes. Red velvet & the chocolate w/ the yummy center is amazing. Fast melting icing= licking my fingers w/ a smile
La Miranda LonerAugust 29, 2015I definitely have a problem with you guys: everything's too good and gluten free! So I have no excuse to eat everything every time! You'll pay my gym!! Luv u!

Sandy PaoDecember 14, 2012Fan of the red velvet. Dense but not dry! Walks a fine line near moistness. But an undeniably excellent cream cheese topping! Overall, very impressed as a first-time gluten-free cupcaker :D
The Corcoran GroupAugust 19, 2013Gluten-free heaven, plain and simple. We love the Red Velvet Cupcakes with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting and Snickerdoodle Cookiedough Balls.
Jessie A.January 25, 2014The oatmeal, cranberry, white chocolate, and semi-sweet chocolate chip cookie was the BEST GF cookie I've ever eaten. 👍🍪
MrsCorksterFebruary 1, 2015Gluten-free heaven, suitable for celiacs and gluten-sensitive folks (like me). More sugar than Babycakes but sometimes you need that.
Phil HempJune 30, 2015Really friendly staff. Homemade oat loaf is a great fresh gluten free. They kindly let me sampled the scraps of the cookies.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011What makes the treats at Tu-Lu's Gluten-Free Bakery so good? They're made with love by a woman who has a gluten allergy herself. Which means she bakes them the way she'd want to eat them.
Serious EatsMarch 14, 2013The cupcakes at this gluten free bakery are less sweet than most, but good enough you'll forget they don't have wheat.
Sarah ZukJuly 10, 2016Brownies are incredible. Rich, moist and up there with any gluten filled brownie
Linda LJune 12, 2016Not only gluten free, but also sugar free options! Two cakes sweetened with agave :)
Salman AnsariJune 24, 2013the double chocolate and vanilla cupcake is a winner, but red velvet is meh. take home the honey oat bread...it's AMAZING.
Jinnie LOctober 1, 2014Their cupcakes are not too sweet I love it! try red velvet :) friendly staff ;)
LexFebruary 21, 2011They have some dairy free choices too! Like the delicious snickerdoodle cookie! Dairy free cupcakes in case Friday & Saturday. Dairy free cakes by order.
HolidayFebruary 19, 2017Pleased as punch over chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. All gf pastries and granola.
I'm not vegan but prefer their vegan chocolate chip cookies to their regular ones. If you like your chocolate less sweet you'll probably agree
Dylan NordJuly 10, 2011this is an amazing gluten free bakery, but you need to eat there or keep cupcakes cool because icing melts like ice
Ariane MotaMay 11, 2013Go Friday nights and meet the super sweet guy who works there with the great taste in music.
Ben ShermanOctober 6, 2012Be patient. The other customers are jerks but the workers are patient and the cupcakes are delicious.
Katherine TsayMay 7, 2012the staff is super helpful / friendly and their cupcakes taste just like the real thing
Katrina ClarkMarch 19, 2011Banana with semi- sweet chocolate: not so good. Chocolate/ Chocolate cupcake: fabulous! Ask for soy milk. It's not on the menu.
Melissa KJanuary 21, 2011Try an assortment of the mini cupcakes - I really liked the spice cc w/cinnamon cream cheese icing.
Christina DiRussoApril 16, 2011Ask if they have the pimento toast, it's not on the menu. You won't regret it.- get one each of her mini cupcakes and eat immediately. seriously. you'll thank me later. (if you have to choose one, choose Strawberry.)
ᴡ MoranteFebruary 22, 2010Great place to have a delicious Gluten Free treat. The peanut butter and chocolate cupcake is to die for!
