I love this place! Everything is gluten free, plus they have dairy free and vegan options. The desserts are absolutely gorgeous and tasty. The turnovers are my absolute favorite followed closely by the salted caramel brownie and cookies and cream cheesecake. Menu items are switched up often with a few staples. Sometimes by the time I can get there the selections are limited. They usually post what they have at the beginning of the day on their instagram and I'm sure people are a lot like me and see how delicious the items look and run in to snatch it up. read more

5 stars all around!!! I couldn't be more excited to find an all gluten-free bakery with so many vegan and dairy free options as well. The staff was super kind and helped talk me through all the vegan options/help me decide which desserts to go with. It was pretty impossible to leave here with just one thing because everything looks absolutely delicious. I ended up leaving with a vegan peanut butter cookie, df lemon loaf, vegan cherry pop tarts, and a df cinnamon roll. My entire order came out to about $34 but for the taste, I have no problem paying that price! My new favorite bakery and go to for dessert. read more

This is a true gluten-free bakery that offers variety of desserts and baked goods - all gluten free, and some are dairy free or vegan, without compromising taste! I placed a special order for a birthday. They were very upfront about their schedule. Luckily they were able to fit me in. The cupcake was delicious (my guests didn't know they were gluten free!). read more

We stopped in and were immediately greeted. My husband asked if any items were gluten free and we were told that all of the baked goods they sell are gluten free as well as vegan. The store is very cute and they were celebrating their 5th anniversary in business. Several samples were being offered. I tried a brownie which was very moist. My husband tried the cheesecake which he enjoyed as well. I purchased a blueberry pistachio scone to bring home. It was amazing. They also make beautiful custom cakes. We will definitely return. read more

You can really taste the care and love that's put into every single baked treat. You really can't go wrong with any of their cheesecakes, but the star for me is their Campfire Bar. Good lord!

The array of treats that you can get here is astonishing. Eye Candy is allergen friendly, meaning - I am soy free. I can ask what has soy in it and what doesn't; because it's all made from scratch! I love the cleanliness of the shop, the cute tables outside on the stairs, so you can stop to eat your goodies. But most of all, the cookies, cheesecakes, tarts, pies, bars, muffins, scones, cheesecake crumbles, regular cake slices, tiramisu is to die for... I can go on for hours. This has been hands down my FAVORITE bakery to go to, to fulfill my love of sweets without having to bake myself. Hands down, the best. Coming from someone that has experience, and is so so meticulous about my pastries... I give hats off to Eye Candy. Here's JUST ONE new fall treat I had to try.. PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE. read more

We had a difficult time finding a vegan bakery to make my daughter's graduation cake. I emailed the cake and got a response right before our party, stating they could fulfill our request. My daughter ordered a vegan lemon blueberry cake. We were told we would get an 8 inch cake, and I was afraid it would not feed all of our guests. However, the cake was about 10 inches high. It was beautifully decorated with gold sprayed berries, and was loaded with fresh blueberries within. It was delicious! I had never eaten a vegan cake before, and it was incredible! read more

Eye Candy Bake Shop is the BEST gluten free bakery in all the land. I had a birthday party the other night and Eye Candy provided bite sized Millionaire Bars, as well as bite sized Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes. The desserts were a HUGE hit and many people commented that these treats were so flavorful. The staff at Livia, who catered the dinner portion, loved these treats, as did the ladies at Jane Pabon Boutique. We ended the night at Patten House where we shared the left over desserts and again they were a HUGE hit. Lorena is such an amazing business owner and a joy to work with.

First let me start by saying I love the concept of this place and I appreciate how they accommodate multiple dietary restrictions. There is a true lack of decent gluten-free bakeries in the area so I was excited to try this place out even though it was a 30 min drive. And the items all looked amazing so I bought quite a few to take home. However, I should've been more cautious. When we walked in, there was an odd smell, I thought maybe there was a stinky scented candle or incense somewhere, or maybe someone was just wearing bad perfume. I should have taken this as a red flag, since when I got home and we started trying out the items, I discovered that they ALL tasted like they had absorbed the odd smell? Everything has a strange aftertaste and then it dawned on me that the smell of the place and the taste of the food actually reminds me of simple green cleaner or something similar? I don't know if that is actually what I was smelling and tasting, but regardless, it's still not something I want to ingest. I feel so foolish spending so much money here that I really couldn't afford (yes I know that's my mistake) and not feeling like the food is safe for my family to eat. I know everyone loves this place and I hate to leave a bad review for something that might be a one-off incident, but since cleaner should NEVER be in food I thought I should mention it here and maybe save someone from my experience. Or perhaps the business will become aware of this issue and find a way to fox it. read more

It's an upscale establishment with absolutely wonderful decor: an old house that harkens back to times of yesteryear. The ambiance is lively but not loud and it seems to host a slightly older (and more sophisticated?) demographic. We just had beers but did peruse the menu for fun and things looked very tempting. Although this visit was quick it left me wanting more on a return visit, of which there will be!

We had a reservation for a party of eight at 8:15 and were seated out on the patio. The inside of…read morethe restaurant is super cute, and they have very elegant bathrooms. I informed our server that I have celiac disease, and she was helpful in confirming that the cocktails were gluten-free. I ordered the Pineapple Express sangria, and it was absolutely delicious. When it comes to the food, most items on the menu can actually be made gluten-free, but they aren't marked on the menu and they do not offer a separate gluten-free menu. Our server did let us know right away that they were out of three of their entree items. For my meal, I started with the gluten-free soup which comes with gluten-free noodles, and it was really good. However, I didn't really like any of the remaining entrees they had left available, so I decided to order sides instead. The server mentioned that most of the sides are or can be made gluten-free. I chose the creamy mashed potatoes and the brussel sprouts, specifically requesting the sprouts without croutons. When the food arrived, the brussel sprouts unfortunately had croutons on them. I pointed it out to the server, and she immediately said she would have them remade for me. While I am very glad I caught the mistake before eating them, it is something to watch out for. Overall, the experience was mediocre.

Love the decor, but it can get busy and a little noisy. Servers are nice, but at times get a little lost, as you might sit for a bit when you need something. Room for improvement. Occasionally sticky tables or wet chairs. Been twice where we needed things rewiped. Room for improvement. Food is always good and very fresh. Depending on what you order, can be a little higher priced, but still fair. Good value, Reservations are through Rezy and they have ePerks if you signup through their web store ($10 signup bonus + birthday rewards). May take a few days for email to arrive after processing. Absolutely one of our favorite places. This trip, ordered Spider and Rainbow Rolls, with my wife ordering Kung Pao Chicken Noodles. Our friends had the Mongolian Beef (one of favorites) and various other sushi rolls. Try the Pork Lo Mein which comes with shrimp or maybe a Sake flight. See you next time!

They were your regukar flavors except for Lemon White chocolate. i bought 1 of each along with their cranberry walnut scone. If you like the thin cooked that spread and remain soft, these will work for you. I need crispy edges at least. The scone was a very sad, depressed lump. After my first taste, i broke off pieces around the edge (pictures included) and you will see a cranberry walnut scone bereft of cranberries. There was NO TASTE of the dried fruit, even when i picked one out, it was a tiny teardrop of a possibility of the tart/sweet dried gem normally enjoyed. (maybe they should be macerated in orange juice or eben cranberry juice). oh! the walnuts were large nice pieces but with the horrible raw-flour taste overpowering even the mighty walnut, the lump could not be redeemed.

Other goodies were cookies, fresh baked bread, honey sticks and dipped rice crispy treats, to name a few. You can also get coffee, teas and lemonades. I ended up getting the croissant stuffed and topped with chocolate chip cookie dough. It was delicious. Not overly sweet, but I ate it two different times throughout the day. It's definitely worth the $5! The employees were very patients as we looked at all the goodies trying to decide what we wanted, and willing to answer any questions.

Literally a hidden gem--every time I tell someone about this place, they have no idea where it is. (You have to walk down the stairs to get there, so it's kind of hidden from the street.) Everything we've had is absolutely on point and tastes no different from non-gluten-free baked goods. They did a phenomenal birthday cake for my daughter and a party full of 7 year olds devoured the gluten-free cake without noticing that it wasn't a traditional cake. Super talented bakers and great service! read more

I absolutely love this shop, the owners, and the products! I am gluten free and until Eye Candy came along, I didn't really love any GF sweets. Most of these items are undetectably gluten free....so much so that I used Eye Candy to cater my wedding and my guests were blown away! Lorena and her staff are absolutely wonderful people and go the extra mile for their customers. If you are in the area- stop at Eye Candy! It's a must! read more

Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.
