Hey so uh, don't go here. I just had a blueberry lemon loaf slice with my friend, and I found a BLUE STRING IN IT. How much of it did we eat before I noticed?? I went in to tell/show them, they huddled behind the counter wondering where it was from, and then the tall boy came back to say it was probably from a sponge. I DON'T CARE WHERE IT'S FROM. All he offered was to replace it. I said "okay", and he was inspecting the loaf slices, and it looked like he found MORE string. I said "never mind" and left. No refund, and definitely no apology. Just people with poor customer service skills who didn't care that they have foreign objects in the food they're making. The health department should shut you down. I used to come here all the time. I'm Celiac, severely lactose intolerant, and the fact that there was someone catering to those of us with allergies was incredible. But once cupcakes jumped to $7 a few years ago, I stopped. I only came in because an out-of-state friend got me a gift card. (The cupcakes are $9 now, and they're small). Erin, if you're reading this, we used to follow each other on Instagram. I removed you as a friend a few years back, and I just need you to know how incredibly disappointed I am in you and your product. Nothing tastes good anymore, and it's clear you're more interested in catering to the wealthy than those of us with severe allergies. Yeah, prices have gone up because supply costs have, but not "$9 for a cupcake" much. No wonder you've had two shops close. What a shame. You used to do good.

$11 for a single oatmeal cookie sandwich is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen. Tastes old dry. Vegan vegetarian gluten free whatever. No cookie should ever be this much and they have price labels on like 3 of the 30+ items they bake and sell

the tiramisu was one of the worst gluten free things i’ve ever had, and it was on the pricey side to top it off. the cinnamon bun was pretty good. but that tiramisu really threw me off. nasty.

So sad …what happened. Hadn’t been in awhile. LA really needs a good vegan gluten free bakery. Sadly the tiramisu and cake were inedible… the reviews are true. I really hope management can turn this place around.

Ok, everything I’ve had, the flavours have been on point. The only thing is that they’ve been a little dry! But the peace of mind you get from everything being gluten free and vegan (I have food sensitivities that flare up) is worth going home and smearing some coconut oil on it.

I purchased the Vegan & Gluten-Free Cupcake Best Seller 12-pack, but was disappointed to find that the actual product looked noticeably different from the online photos. The visual presentation felt misleading, and had I known this beforehand, I likely wouldn’t have placed the order. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend ordering this item through Goldbelly.

Erin McKenna’s has the best desserts and baked goods. The donuts, cookies, and cupcakes are delicious. The food is always presented nicely, served by a kind and knowledgable staff, in a cutely decorated shop. These treats are light and healthy, and the entire bakery doesn’t use gluten, animal products, most tree nuts or chemical dyes. This is a high quality allergen friendly location that I highly recommend.

Amazing, yummy, desserts that are gluten free and vegan. I ate the chocolate chip sammie and a heart sugar cookie. Both were soft, delicious, and just the right amount of sweet without being heavy.

🍪🍩🧁Hands down one of the best gluten free, vegan bakeries in Southern California! No joke! My wife has Celiacs so we’ve tried AAAALLLLLLL of the G-free bakeries around. Our favorites are the lemon loaf and the blueberry donut, AMAZING! We live 37 miles away and I realize that sounds crazy to come so far for just a few sweets, but trust me. If you are looking for g-free or vegan options, Erin McKenna’s can’t be beat! 🔥🍩

Let me first say I'm not a fan of gluten-free baked goods. I am fortunate enough to not have any issues with gluten, so again I have never been a fan of gluten-free anything. That is until I came to Erin McKenna's Bakery. What can I say but wow wow wow. We kind of got an assortment of everything from cookies, Bagels, Savory muffins, loaf slices and amazing donuts. Now I understand why so many people love this Bakery. We had to drive from Sherman Oaks all the way to Larchmont Village and the drive was definitely worth it. Since discovering this Bakery we have been back twice in two weeks. If you haven't had a chance to stop by, you must. And I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookies, the Samosa Donuts or the maple glazed donut. We are now some new biggest fans of this place.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!! It was that good. Take out the fact that everything is gluten free, or vegan....that DOES NOT matter, this place is incredible. Try everything. Seriously. The everything bagel with jalapeno butter. The Samoa donut, the coffee cake. I could go on and on. The baked goods were so good, we bought her cook book. Doesn't get better as a testament to the greatness of this place. Seriously. Go try it out. You won't be disappointed.

The best bakery I’ve ever been to (this and the NYC location), hands-down. If you’re a first timer, give the cupcake tops and/or the lemon slice a go; if they have any remaining, tack on an eclair. It’s a delicious choice for all, certainly not just looking for plant based/vegan, gluten free options. Thank you to this bakery for existing!!!!!

I purchased one gluten-free donut from Erin McKenna's Bakery. It was great, but not amazing. I arrived around 3 pm on the weekend, and the selection was very slim. They only offered about eight different gluten-free options which seemed very similar. Upon arrival, the staff was discussing personal matters and the customer service could have been better. I would return and try another donut.

Gluten free goodness (Not sugar free - but still somehow makes me feel guilt free). Until i tasted these delicious pastries and baked goods i never thought i'd like a gluten free item more than a gluten filled one. Turns out This bakery is something special. Must try EVERYTHING. Love coming to the Sunday Farmers market - then here with my ware's to enjoy a sunday munch! MMMmmmm...
