I'm not GF but a lot of my family is so we stopped here to give it a try... fantastic food and baked treats . So good that we loaded the car with goodies for later. We had the griddle cakes, veg and non veg hash and split the apple muffin. This place is not to be missed!! read more

DON'T MISS IT! Everything about this place - the food, the decor, the people, the vibe - is awesome. Delicious.

I stopped in because of all the 5 star reviews, to discover they are well earned. Home cooked gluten free goodies... I had the French Toast... yum! Lots of things throughout the quaint bakery that will make you smile, like "Kindness Matters". read more

If your coming through concrete or just in town for camping this place is a must. Fresh made delicious cinnamon rolls and pin wheels. And beautiful decorations with both indoor and outdoor seating! Something for everyone! read more

This bakery is fantastic! A complete and pleasant surprise we found in the North Cascades area. Its located in a the quant little town called Concrete. We came in just looking for coffee, with little expectations, but it blew us away. Great ambience, vast breakfast and other food options, solid coffee, quite affordable, and the owner is an absolute charm to talk to! A lot of their bakery items are made fresh daily and you could taste the quality! We'll definitely be back anytime we are in the area! read more

Love Love this little bakery! Drove up for lunch and was delighted by all the choices of breads, sandwiches, soups and salads. The desert menu rocks!! Everything we ordered was delicious! read more

Traveling from Sacramento, CA to Canada & through kismet found this bakery/cafe! My 11 year old daughter has celiac and traveling is a B%$ to say the least what with planning ahead, packing all your food, rarely getting to try the local fare, no spontaneity ... The whole family did a little dance when we discovered 5b's! We got to actually eat out, eat GOOD food, not explain what gluten is, not have to ask about cross contamination and wait for the eye-roll..... Although we try to shelter my daughter a bit from the emotions around food, I know she gets down when she knows WE can just go anywhere and grab anything and it is all down to her disease that OUR habits have had to change. She gets JOYFUL when she finds a place like this (and we do too). The food was amazing - sandwiches, calzone, pot pies...nourishing, full of flavor and satisfying. Of course the soft (not cardboard) spicy, ginger cookies were the BOMB! The retro/diner/eclectic design was comfortable and fun to hang out in....did I mention great coffee? The server was friendly and outgoing - lots of smiles. What more could you ask for?! (I would get some sandwich boards on the highway in both directions though with GLUTEN FREE BAKERY/CAFE in big letters) I never would have found the bakery except for the fact that I 'happened' to see a small local newspaper when we got stuck in Burlington for two nights with a broken down car. When we got fixed up we hightailed it for 5b's so we could get lunch before we continued on our trip. Two days before we had just been driving by on the freeway & NEVER would have stopped in CONCRETE (which is what MOST GF bread is like) of all places for anything. In our family "I would walk a hundred miles for dedicated gluten free restaurants" is our mantra.... read more

Killer food and good smoothies. I love this place. The first time I stepped foot into 5 B's I was like, what the hell is this place doing in CONCRETE, WA??? If you've ever been to Concrete, then you'll know what I'm talking about. It's the kind of town where you can see a domestic dispute between a 6 year old and his 18 year old mother. Any who, this bakery is outstanding and thank God they are here. I don't know what I would do without them. The one item that I have tried that wasn't very good was the bagel dog. I just don't think there exists a good and edible version of a gluten free bagel. Aside from that, everything else is to die for and you can't go wrong with what ever you pick. read more

I had one of the best meals here. Loved the service..food was delicious and the entire ambiance was very welcoming.

What an awesome surprise 5b's turned out to be. I ordered the ham and cheese with side salad and my husband had the chicken salad sandwich. Both were delicious, and he isn't normally up for GF! It obvious everything is super fresh/homemade. Well worth stopping here. read more

Had a huge choice of sweet cakes and breads. Very helpful ladies and very comfortable indoor area, but does have an outdoor seating area with umbrellas and off street parking . read more

I cannot say enough about the wonderful food at the bakery. I particularly enjoyed their pizza crust, pie crust and the variety of breads.

This place is the best thing that has happened to Concrete since that nasty old building in downtown burned to the ground. The food is fantastic! We have been here several times for the baked goods and for meals. The only thing better than the food is the super friendly service. We will be stopping in every time we pass through town. read more

Fantastic food and friendly staff. They have decent sized portion and it's very affordable. It can get really crowded on the weekends but I highly recommend this place for Breakfast and coffee. read more

I do adore this place. The food is great and their venue is bright and clean and cozy. The only suggestion/criticism that I have is they need to step up on their organization. I went this past Sunday morning for a quick pastry and coffee. Because it was so busy, I waited almost 15 minutes for my coffee. If they know they are going to be busy (and they should know, by now) then they should make sure that there is someone, always, manned at the coffee and tea station so that orders aren't getting so backed up that they don't know who ordered what and how. read more

Yes, there exists a 5 star joint in Concrete, WA. I was just as surprised as you, driving west away from the North Cascades, and looked up a place on yelp in the near by area. It was a cute little cafe/bakery with lots of homemade goodies. I opted for a grilled cheese and a cup of their soup du jour (chili). It was tasty and comforting and the people working there were genuine sweethearts. A+ read more

Delicious gluten free options sure to please your tastebuds! Worth the drive and/or a freezer case in north Snohomish county.

Highly recommended. All their fresh baked gluten free foods are better than you can imagine. The interior is very nice with many local things to look at and interesting items to buy. In addition to bakery items they have a huge freezer with many items and a restaurant with quaint seating and atmosphere. They also have a large coffee tea selection. A must if you are passing through. They also ship! Soooo yummy read more

We just returned from a month-long road trip. We had breakfast here and I can still remember it; best breakfast of the whole trip. I wish they were closer to our house, but we live thousand of miles away. Not only did it taste good, but it was a beautiful presentation. Imagine finding this gem in a place of under 1,000 people! read more

Breakfast, lunch, and lots of yummy baked goodies - all Gluten Free! Just off the highway in Concrete, (wich isnt a big deal, as Concrete is tiny) the bakery is located across the street from the post office. Old fashioned sodas, espresso, shakes and smoothies too! The building is clean and the staff is friendly. I had their veggie sandwich and a home-made root beer! Delicious! read more

Best chicken salad sandwich we've ever had. Bought some of the 5 seed bread the sandwich was made on.....also got a couple delicious looking handheld pies for dessert tonight. read more

Oh my goodness this place is adorable! The lemonade is FANTASTIC and I about died after eating the bumbleberry handpie. I can't wait to go back! read more

Went there last week. The desserts were yummy but we got some quiche and didn't like it at all. Tasted funny. Also didn't like the idea of having the desserts in the same cabinet as the other foods. They should be kept separate so the flavors don't mix. read more

Yum! The chicken salad sandwich was delicious! Each meal comes with a dessert as well. I had a small piece of what I think was a strawberry pineapple cake. It was so good! We will definitely come back when we are up on the mountain. read more

Have been here three times in the last month. EVERYTHING is absolutely delicious! Hazelnut Twist is amazing.. especially when warmed up.

This place is a real gem. Extremely good food made from scratch, the help is so nice and friendly, good coffee. It's by far the best food in concrete. Unforgettable! read more

This was such a pleasant surprise with delicious pies and excellent espresso in a town that does not have all that much going on. This is an all gluten- free bakery because the owner is celiac . The baked goods are better than many "regular" baked goods ! You have to stop at this cute little cafe the next time you are in the area! read more

Soup, salad, sandwiches... everything was delicious and the coffee was perfection. Clean and inviting... great staff. Don't miss this bakery for lunch when driving the Cascade Loop. The best. read more

I made a last minute decision to come here after seeing signs while driving through Concrete, coming back from camping. I was in 5b's all of about 10 minutes max, which was enough time to see their selection is AMAZING, the staff was friendly, but not overbearing, the coffee was good...and the food. The food. I sampled the lemon cupcake and raspberry coffee cake. The cupcake....oh my...amazing. The coffee cake was good too. I had the Raisin Bran Orange muffin-flavorful, moist, and delicious down to the last bite. And the Mountain Trail cookie....I don't recall what was in it, I think it was vegan, and it was amazing.....I think I paid $8 for a cup of coffee, the muffin, cookie and tip. if you happen to see the sign driving by...do yourself a favor a stop in. You won't regret it. read more

Excellent place, I was really excited to find a bakery/café like this in Concrete. Good coffee, the guy behind the counter seemed to know his stuff. Their food/baked goods looked good, too. read more

I was so excited to come here, my husband is gluten free so I thought this would be the perfect breakfast spot. I would like to start out by saying the food was great. The service was not. I was extremely disappointed. I went to the counter and ordered our food, the person behind the counter explained to me that our food would be brought to us because we decided to sit outside. We waited for our food for an hour and half in total. Watching many people come in and then leave, half way through our wait we asked and they said "it should be up soon" and 15mins later still nothing! My husband went to the counter a second time and asked about it....the answer then was " oh my gosh your order never printed in the back".....wait WHAT!?! We had asked about our food before...and no mention of that came up. I'm mostly disappointed that we were just forgotten sitting at a table, not one employee cared or even seemed overly concerned at the amount of time we waited. There was no apologize, just an employee telling us that this happens a lot. Moral of the story....make sure your order goes through and if you have been waiting awhile, have them actually check in the kitchen for your food. read more

We stopped at this bakery on a whim on our way across 20, and I'm glad that we did. The place was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The staff was courteous, professional and enthusiastic about their food. The food itself was delicious. We had a grilled cheese sandwich and a lemon bar, which were both very yummy. A big surprise was that everything in the shop was gluten-free! If you're avoiding gluten, or even if you're not, be sure to stop by and give them a try! read more

The only place I feel completely relaxed ordering anything on the menu. EVERYTHING is gluten free! I love the waffle sandwich, or the taco soup or the cinnamon rolls. This is a dedicated gluten free facility, no cross contamination risk. Amazing lemon bars....and everyone should try the duffins! read more

Great food, nice employees, and they let you color on the place mats. Can't ask for much more than that!

This has got to be the best place in town to find an excellent meal. Initially we thought that it wasn't much more than a bakery, so were going to have breakfast elsewhere. Lucky for us there was nothing else open in the area, since many close down for the winter. We were treated to an excellent breakfast, with many options to choose from. Very friendly lady who (I think) was the owner stopped over and chatted with us. Everything we ordered was top notch and we would most definitely eat here again if we were to ever pass through this tiny town. TWO THUMBS UP!! The website doesn't do the menu justice, as it shows very little of what is actually available. read more

A pleasant surprise this far out, wasn't expecting to find such a cute place with food alternatives for people with allergies, sensitivities or just different preferences. read more

My friend and I stopped by the 5b's Bakery last Friday on our way up to the Seattle City Light tour. Both of us ordered the hash and eggs and it was a big disappointment. It was basically seasoned diced potatoes with a few (very few) bits of dried out beef. My eggs ordered sunny side up were delivered over medium. So much for home cooking. A can of Nalley's corned beef hash is a much better alternative. read more

Such a wonderful discovery! Wonderful curried egg salad on pumpernickel to go then bought several frozen items to take home. to eat at my leisure. So hard to find gluten free baked goods! read more

I would give 10 stars if allowed! We are GF devotees, weekend visitors to the upper Skagit and 5Bs is a beloved tradition. Friendly, great people own and operate. It beats most bakeries in Seattle in selection and taste. The cinnamon rolls and lemon bars are to die for. Wonderful breakfasts and lunches. read more

Everyone loves a 5Bs cinnamon roll, but their breakfast and lunch menu is fabulous! The espresso is even better! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. You won't regret stopping here! read more
