What’s all that hype about gluten free (GF) food? Not much unless they don’t taste great then you’re thankful you don’t eat GF food. BUT it’s at a higher bar if you eat GF food AND they taste so much better than non-GF food that you want to convert?!! Now THAT’S what’s great about Sun Flour and what Donna makes! But first, let’s talk about ambience - the one that when you walk in, you’re greeted with so much homey feel. Then the waft of great food permeates the air. Then you’re greeted by Josh who was very personable, his face lights up when he tells you all the good pastries that stare at you when you stand by the counter. What a mother-son team….Josh takes the orders, Donna sends out the order prepared with goodness! I ordered the Rueben sandwich absolutely delicious. Everything tasted all made from scratch, even the sauerkraut. The cheddar and sausage biscuit was over the top,melt in your mouth. And the ube pastry with icing was too. Will definitely come back to try the other sandwiches. Couldn’t leave empty-handed so I ordered to go: ube bundt cake slice and berry scone. Yummy!

I ordered gluten free cupcakes for my son’s baptism in early May and they were outstanding! The Bavarian cream icing is delicious and you cannot tell these cupcakes are gluten free. Donna is amazing to work with, very friendly and accommodating. Thank you! We will definitely be using Sun-Flour Cafe for our gluten free family members in the future.

This is the only safe place to eat if you have any sort of allergy or intolerance to gluten. There is never any cross-contamination and the food is always absolutely delicious. The brownies and cinnamon roll cake are my favorite but you can't forget the paninis. Ms Donna is kind and will take care of you no matter what

This place is AMAZING. The food is delicious and you’d never even know it was gluten free! Donna is incredibly warm, kind and welcoming. We witnessed several people come in and ask about Celiac safe foods and she was so kind and assuring. Donna is so talented at creating delicious, safe-to-enjoy gluten free delicacies. I cannot recommend her hospitality nor her delicious creations enough! Can’t wait to come back!

This place has some of the best homemade bread I've ever had. The staff was so nice and the food was out of this world. We couldn't even wait to get home to dig into the chocolate chip cookies. Can't wait to come back next visit ! Best gluten free food around.

If you eat gluten free, this is your bakery. Hands down, the BEST cakes I have ever had that use alternate flour. These cakes are not dry and crumbly, but soft and flavorful. Whatever baker Donna is doing is brilliant. We ordered a double chocolate layer cake, which was a huge hit with the entire family, despite the slide that happened in a 4 hour drive. The toasted almond Bundt cake is positively dreamy. If you love almond/almond flavoring like we do, you MUST get one. Your group will gobble it up in a hurry.

Great food options and everything I had was delicious. Dedicated gluten free with a lot of good options. You can order ahead or stop in for some good food.

Yum! Calling all my gluten free foodies this hidden gem is the perfect spot. While it's a little far from me Donna makes you feel like family every time you walk in. The first time I ever came we had a great conversation. The homemade gf bread is delicious so you must try a Panini when you visit. The baked goods are so yummy and if you call in advanced she can make some items such as cinnamon rolls etc. I have yet to try them but it's next on my list. The ube bundt cake has been my favorite baked good so far! If you aren't use to coming here you may overlook it as there isn't a larger sign signifying where it actually is.
