Benefit Your Life Gluten Free Bakery & Cafe

I usually love their scones but today the sausage cheddar is a bit off. First, it tastes slightly sweet. It’s also flat and not the thick scone I’m used too. Cheddar looks different on the top too. It’s a $5.50 scone so at that price I’m disappointed.

Ordered two four inch cakes and some wild berry tarts for my wedding last weekend. We paid in advance since we ordered at the store. We told the woman about how we wanted the cakes to be decorated, they were as simple as it comes a vanilla cake with lavender colored frosting and a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. We requested little dollops on top for the rim since that is what they have pictured on their menu, we figured that would look perfect on our dessert table. When it was time to pick up everything they couldn’t find our order. Cue the panic. After that got that situation taken care of, they could only fine the chocolate cake and the tarts. It took them a while to find the vanilla cake and when we saw it, it was nothing how we told the lady we wanted it to look like when we ordered. The vanilla cake was iced white with a purple boarder, imagine your classic birthday cake (and yes, they knew this was for a wedding). There were no dollops on the two cakes, as they did the birthday piping on both cakes. The tarts were placed on top of each other so there were a few that the bottoms were completely saturated with the jam and unusable. The tarts were extremely crumbly and sandy, which we were really disappointed in since they cost us 36 dollars for 6 of them. The cakes were alright, nothing to write home about almost like a store bought gluten free cake mix. I won’t be coming back here, I will just have to learn how to bake for my in-laws.

Their baked goods are amazing! I live in PA, but found this place last year when visiting. We stopped in during the week and then on a Saturday. Make sure you get there on a Saturday for hot breakfast! I even saved my cinnamon roll for my roadtrip on Sunday. It warmed on the dash and was oh so delicious!!! I wish I had this bakery closer to home. 10 hours is a bit too far to drive😜

If you are looking for a bakery that is totally dedicated gluten free here it is in Knoxville, TN. I live in Chattanooga, TN and stumbled upon this place by pure accident but a good one. I can get gluten free back home but it's only certain days and the bakery has to shut down for deep cleanings which is still a risk. Here you don't have to worry about having any allergic reactions and everything is gluten free not just select items like most places.
If you live in the area or passing through I highly recommend stopping by just off of 140 hwy. You know I stocked up on biscuits, bread, sweet rolls, and pastries before heading home. 🤗

Also, shout out to the bakery for being the only totally gluten free facility i have found yet in my travels around the US.
The place was very clean, lots of options I never thought I would be able to get like biscuits, and friendly staff to assist. I felt like buying the store out. 🤷‍♂️

Very expensive. The cinnamon roll was not good and it really lacked flavor. I got my friend the vegan chocolate cupcakes and she said they were good.

Nice selection of gluten free and plenty of dairy free options. My daughter was very happy to be able to walk in to a bakery and actually be able to order something! You guys rock! We will be back.

I'm partial to Magpies Bakery, but I wanted to try out some other local ones. My review is based off of one brownie that I tried today. It was good, but I prefer more fudge like brownies, and this was more cake-like. Even with the mint frosting on top, it just didn't have that 'wow" factor I was looking for. Their prices were also kind of high. I may come back and try some cookies, but at those prices, it won't be very often. If I come back, I'll update my review.

Fantastic options 👌 even the clients in li e were giving me suggestions of favorites. Made sure to get biscuits and gravey and a chicken pot pie for later and started with Danish and sour cream glazed donut 🍩 😋 . Everything is gluten free onsite.

This place has some great cinnamon rolls! They're big and very filling, and I could hardly finish mine. The cream cheese icing was great, but I like that they have a dairy-free topping option in case that's needed for someone. My husband has celiac disease, and eating out can be a challenge and very anxiety-inducing. It was nice to eat here because it's a dedicated gluten-free facility, so we knew even cross-contact with gluten wouldn't be an issue. My husband got the curry chicken soup, and it was delicious, but it did seem to make us both have some indigestion, and I don't know why. So be aware that that could happen to you as well! Could just be from the curry. The cinnamon rolls are fantastic, and I'm glad they offer them all the time, because we were bummed to learn that they only actually serve most of their breakfast items on Saturdays. We drove an hour and a half from our vacation city to visit here, so we were happy they still at least had some of the breakfast food items we had heard about. The service was good, though we did feel a tad awkward when ordering because we didn't really know how things worked at this place yet (normal new-restaurant nerves; no one was rude at all). I was happy to see that they also sell GF items all around the store. Everything from frozen Udi's rolls, to GF oreo-type cookies, to pancake mixes, to pie crusts. That was nice! It was a homey environment and many patrons seemed to already know each other. It was a good experience overall.

My friend has celiac disease. Was great to find a totally gluten free bakery/store/lunch counter. Had a fabulous Panini sandwich. We enjoyed eating outside in the covered table area.
