5b's Bakery & Eatery

To be fair, we went at end of day (five mins before close) and the cinnamon rolls were reheated in the microwave and they were not very good — kind of tough but were probably better when they were fresh.

Also had “death by chocolate” cake and it was ok. It was definitely “loaded” with chocolate but was a bit dry.

Total for two people for both of these (with 20% tip) was $18, so also not cheap.

Amazing goodies. And you’d never know that they are all gluten free!

Bakery that home makes everything. Great local find!

EDIT: The owners reply, the day I posted this was not on the day I went. The fact they went in to check the time and day I posted this to prove me wrong is absurd. I was there on July 9th, 2022 around noonish. Also regardless on the amount of order they may have had they should have more than 1 person making drinks instead of two people by the till and handing out baked goods as the drinks take longer to make. While I should have asked for it to be re-made it was hard to ask when half the time I waited for my drink the Barista was on the phone.

Cute little place and had some high hopes, the lady ringing me through was quite rude when I was asking simple questions. They also spin the till around for a tip which I wish I didn’t give. I ordered the baked goods which were good. I also got the chilled mocha and it was horrible which was disappointing because it took a long time to get our drinks. Only one girl making drinks even when busy. It’s blended and it was separated right away. Had almost no chocolate flavor. My friend asked for more pumps of chocolate and she just gave her caramel drizzle which made no difference. I wanted to get my drink re-made but they were so behind and the barista was always on the phone that I just left. I think if you live here it’s great little place but for people from out of the area it was not a friendly place.

The chicken sandwich we had was so amazing! And the frozen lasagna we took home was delicious also! So, of course, all 3 flavors of cookies were wonderful. Will be happy to drive the 100 miles to eat there again.

What a gem to find a gluten free bakery where you least expect to! Ample sweet and savoury options for everyone, lots of beverage choices (including smoothies) and great grocery section where you can bring frozen pies and cakes home. Highly recommend stopping here if you are passing through the area or need some good food to fuel you up for some hikes in the North Cascades!

Great service, many great gluten free and/or vegan breakfast and lunch options, also coffee and gifts. I love everything about this establishment, but I'm not a fan of most of their treats. Unsure if it's the gluten free nature, but many are just not that good to may palate. Now, there are many that are excellent, so I urge folks to try different things and support this great local business.

We drive 60 miles to Concrete just to visit 5b's, and it's always worth the drive!!

Whenever we happen to be driving by Concrete we stop here for treats. It is awesome to have such a huge choice of gluten free desserts. They offer so much more than desserts but we haven't moved on from trying all the baked goods. The great thing is that nobody even notices they are gluten free so it's a great stop for everyone. The service is always friendly and the place is adorable. I would highly recommend you stop in.

The only reason I gave it a three instead of a five star rating is because of their limited menu. We got a couple of bakery items, and they weren't the best we'd had. The waffle sandwich was dry but the muffin was delicious. You can tell they are very passionate about their food. There's lots of bread that you can take with you in their freezer section. I'm sure during a typical season, this would be a five-star rating. I would definitely go back and try it again.
