Review: Elegant elephant is my go to gluten free spot! Things I’ve tried- Blueberry scone 10/10 *it’s very sweet* Cupcake (any) 10/10 Focaccia bread 10/10 *it’s literally perfect* Almond bread 8/10 *it’s on the sweet end* Quiche 10/10 Chocolate donut 10/10 *more cake texture than donut but very yummy. Just don’t expect it to taste like an actual donut* Brownie 10/10 Banana bread 10/10 *most of my friends didn’t even know it’s GF* Anything Savory 1000/10 *the best. Mushroom Gouda danish* These are my regular purchases that I would recommend.

Review: Let me preface this by saying I am a GF tourist constantly on the hunt for a good donut. I love trying new places all over the US and I can say with certainty that this place missed the mark for me. I ordered several pastries (savory and sweet) and a cappuccino for around $40, most of which I’d never purchase again. A few points of concern: there was not a working microwave to warm up the baked goods, this is not a sit-down style establishment, nor was there a public bathroom in case you need one. Probably the worst cappuccino I’ve ever tasted (the staff drinking coffee from a place down the street should have been a sign) but thankfully the lemon cheese danish was scrumptious! I also enjoyed the blueberry scone, it’s a nice soft texture and was perfect when I warmed it up at the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend the chocolate donut, spend the money on anything else. The staff were very courteous and polite with every customer we saw. This place does have GF/vegan options in case someone needed to know. I do appreciate that they have a rotating selection of items, I would be willing to go back and see if maybe I caught them on an off day. I’ll update my review if I ever return.

Review: I am only giving this 5 stars because I don't want to harm the business, just to warn people this bakery is ENTIRELY GLUTEN FREE. When I recently ordered a birthday cake I did not realize that. So my 7 year olds birthday cake went mostly untouched by the guests. I thought it was a normal bakery that did gluten free options. That assumption was incorrect. I didn't do a thorough read through the reviews. Just googled bakery, called and ordered a cake. I'm new-ish to Eugene. I've learned my lesson lol. The cake was cute and icing was yummy though...

Review: Location is small but has just what you need to make your gluten free grocery list fulfilled. I'm so glad they are open on Sunday as well. I bought the almond bread and still making breakfast toast with it. I think it actually got better as the week went on. It had a soft doughy texture when you toast it. I've not had anything like this gluten free. While I was there I got a blueberry scone. It was more like a cookie than scone but delicious.
