Heartbroken to learn that this place will be closing on Sept 28th. They have some of the best gluten free desserts we've ever tried - their cream puffs and mini tarts are to die for. I heard they're taking some desserts over to 401K, their gluten free sister restaurant, but we're still soooo sad to hear about their closure. Everyone was always so kind there, and their selection was fantastic. I will be following along to hear of any news; a few of us have asked for a gluten free cookbook to recreate those incredible treats and the owner said it's in the works! My gluten free partner and I will miss their tiramisu terribly. Here's hoping that one day circumstances might be different. So sad to hear. read more

Sinners & Saints Desserts - Gluten free cream puff, gluten free mini tarts (lemon and chocolate) - Bakeries Near Me - Venice, California

Sad to see an underwhelming selection available compared to what pictures previously showed. Assuming that it's because they're inside the bar now. Since it's quite loud inside it was difficult to communicate about our selections, but service was friendly. Cheesecake was good, lemon bar too sweet for my liking, pumpkin bread ...simply AMAZING, worth a trip just for it. Definitely appreciative for the availability of gluten free treats, even with a limited selection. read more

Review #933 2025-112 Cake/Pastry Order: Red Velvet Cake (red velvet layers filled with cream cheese frosting & iced with european vanilla buttercream), Banana Cream Tart (crispy vanilla tart, bananas, vanilla custard, whipped cream topping), Lemon Blueberry Tart (lemon-infused cream, blueberries, lemon-flavored shortbread), Smack Pie (chocolate ganache, marshmallows, salted caramel & salted peanuts topping, graham cracker crust) Finishing this draft from pandemic lockdown with an old review format. Cuisine: Bakery, with select gluten-free desserts. Price: Affordable/cheap. Restrooms: Not sure since indoor dining isn't available. Parking: Large private lot though there's plenty of businesses that it might be busy during lunch/dinner rush. Atmosphere/Service: Casual; polite & efficient service. NOTE: Restaurant has a website & orders can be placed online, though no menu pics for point of reference. Sinners for decadent desserts & saints for gluten-free delights... Sinners & Saints Desserts offers a splurge for a luscious dessert, yet scrumptious for those that need gluten-free treats. Be mindful that their kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free one, but precautions are taken to minimize cross contamination. I used to work in the area & came across this bakery, but never got around to trying them out. Since my daughter's birthday was coming up, I thought about trying them out since their desserts were beautifully displayed... they should taste good, right? I ordered the current favorite flavor: red velvet, & asked if they could decorate it with pink flowers & birthday message in red. The cake looks plain with just 3 pink roses, but the birthday cursive was pretty good; however, for the price, it wasn't worth eating a super dry cake. Our family of 4 barely ate 1/3, & tried giving it away to our neighbors, who were also unimpressed. The Smack Pie was supposedly a decadent chocolate lover's sinful treat. It was meh... the ganache wasn't silky-smooth but did taste fudgy, the caramel was hard, & the peanuts were stale. We did enjoy the Banana Cream & Lemon Blueberry Tarts to offset the very dry birthday cake. Luckily, I bought these to compensate for the cake so the birthday girl was happy in the end. Sinners & Saints Desserts sounds like a deliciously tempting bakery but some of their goods miss the mark. I don't think I'll be purposely sinning here much. Recommended: Lemon Blueberry & Banana Cream Tarts. read more

In my vegan era so checked this spot out! Located inside of 401k wine bar. We found parking around the corner. The staff was friendly. We picked the vegan coconut passion fruit cheesecake and the flourless chocolate cake topped with mixed berries. The berries were plump and fresh. The coconut cheesecake tasted like the siggis coconut yogurt. The crust was made from dates as the binder and some type of nut for the crispy part. I thought walnut but my partner thought it was biscoff. I'd order the passion fruit cheesecake again. My partner enjoyed his flourless chocolate cake. He said it was rich and decadent. We both had half of our treats. The ones we picked out were $14 each. The cookies and brownies were under $4. read more

The BEST spot for gluten-free desserts and baked goods maybe anywhere! My wife has Celiac so we're always looking for good treats she can eat and this place is one of her favorites. The MUST GET items are definitely the Tres Leches Cake, any Cheesecake, the Lemon Bars, and the Cheddar, Bacon, and Chive Scones. We've tried many different things here but those are the ones we always come back to. Everyone working here is so nice and helpful, especially with recommendations, and the shop itself is super cute. And if you want more savory food or you're hungry for a meal, their restaurant and wine bar next door, 401K, is definitely worth a visit. read more

Service is top notch, very friendly but who wouldn't be surrounded by all the delicious treats. Such a cool looking dessert shop with soooo many choices. Everything we ordered was delicious from the tres leches cake, red velvet cupcakes, pecan bourbon bar. I was tempted to get the tiramisu as it looked delicious but it was a huge portion. read more

This place is pretty great, they have all your usual cakes and pastries, plus vegan versions. We had a bit of everything, it can get a bit pricey, but it was worth it. We also got the vegan chocolate truffle cake for my birthday and it is by far one of the best chocolate cakes I've ever had. I'll be coming back for more! The service was good, the guy who helped us was very friendly and patient with all our questions and inability to choose. read more

This is one of the best bakeries in the city. Sinners are their regular items and Saints are their gluten-free items. We only get their gluten-free items and the people we've shared them with can't even tell they're gluten-free until we say something. The sugar cookies (which they only do for holidays) are phenomenal. We keep bugging the owner to make something like them year round. We're either wearing her down or annoying the crap out of her; that's how good they are. The peanut-butter sandwich cookies are unlike most peanut butter cookies you've had in the past. A perfect blend of cookie dough and peanut butter filling The chocolate chip pumpkin loaf is simply excellent. We've brought loaves to family functions and they're always the first dessert item finished and asked about. The cupcakes and cakes (we've gotten a birthday cake here, I believe cinnamon vanilla) are super solid. The only thing they're missing is their bread selection that you can order at their sister restaurant 401k, a few doors down. The employees are fun and social. They know their bakery stuff too. The owner is involved and easily recognizes her repeat customers. Final Word: A great place with great people. read more

Cute little pastry shop off of a bustling street in Venice. Lots of dainty treats - that look incredible, made with love?! I'd say so. We got their famous tres leche & lemon bar with two chai lattes with tip about $40... Chai lattes were good, tres leche- perfectly balanced with texture and sweetness, lemon bar was solid but small for the price. Service was thorough. read more

Are you a sinner (gluten lovers) or a saint (gluten free)? It's always exciting to find gluten free dessert options and this place is heaven for gf. They have cupcakes, minis, decadent desserts and cookies. I have tried cupcakes, vanilla crème brûlée, tres leche, banana cream tart, lemon tart. Everything has been delicious. I am not a vegan fan and one time, I got a vegan cake to try and I didn't like it. The owner gave me some additional gf cupcakes instead which was a super sweet thing to do. My boyfriend is a sinner and he told me that all his picks were delicious. Highly recommend! read more

It's a poplar local desserts store, and convenient for takeout orders. I've tried their carrot cakes, a bit overly sweet, but I really liked their bread pudding with chocolate toppings, so smooth and delicious. read more

Saints & Sinners is my Willy Wonka Factory equivalent!!! I have the biggest sweet tooth unfortunately coupled with a dairy allergy so I'm always quite restricted with dessert places because of this, but ya'll Saints & Sinners answered my prayers!! They've got DF and GF options in addition to regular options and their desserts/pastries are unreal. It's a cute little storefront right off of Lincoln in Venice and I've found easy nearby street parking both times I've been. They have a small outdoor seating area if you want to hang, but I've gotten treats to go both times I've been. The staff are 10/10 gems and so welcoming and friendly and I loved the sassy Valentine's Day cookies they made this year. Take all my $$ read more

Just went here for the first time and what a DELIGHT! First off, Brent... you deserve a raise and all the best things in life for your jolly and fun energy. Brent was so sweet and kind as we were asking him questions about his favorite treats in the bakery. He really is so intentional with each customer, and that care and detail is reflected in the pastries and treat themselves, too. We haven't even taken a bite out of the treats yet, but I already know it's going to be phenomenal based off of the service! Can't wait to see you again, Brent!! read more

My all time favorite dessert stop. These ladies are always baking up a storm of delicious deserts! "Sinners" for those who don't mind the dairy and gluten and Saints for those being mindful for a vegan or gluten free diet. The crack balls & mini vegan cinnamon cupcakes are my repeats! Obsessed with their chocolate chip cookies as well. Enjoy :) read more

Please everyone don't go here because it is over price for a desert costing 15.00 for a small desert. They are over inflating the cost of food. Secondly the original store closed down umm wonder why? Maybe because they are overpriced and selling small desert. The store is now in a wine bar so people can buy wine and desert together but the only problem is they only sell cheesecake, cookies, and small round ball cakes. All limited options. Very expensive and not a good business to go for dessert. read more

I hadn't been to my favorite dessert Emporium/super patisserie and had their saintly gluten-free amazing desserts for a while. So on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I drove down Venice Boulevard past my high school alma mater, Venice High arriving at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard where the road ends if you're hunting for the best Gluten-free and regular assorted desserts at Sinners and Saints. The Sinners, of course, are the wheateaters. I dawdled while inside talking to a few customers, one being her first time and with the two wait staff. I might be gluten intolerant but I'm not glutton intolerant and if I could order one of everything I would. I choose my favorite, the best GF Tres Leches Cake that is heavenly; a fantastic GF Tiramisu that melts in your mouth; a small lemon tart and a bacon, cheese and chive scone. I took these home and I'm doling them out slowly so I can eat saintly for as long as possible. I left with an excellent salted caramel latte. (I posted the pics separately). Whether you are a Sinner or a Saint, you are a winner here and at their adjoining GF restaurant 401K where after about 20 years post Celiac diagnosis, I could share every dish with my family or guests, a pleasure that I had been denied prior to Elisa opening up this restaurant. Grazie Mille. read more

Love this spot and love their amazing gluten free selection. Staff is always friendly and quick. Always recommend their creme brulee, little cupcakes, and any seasonal options. They also sell little birthday baggies with candles and little signs. Not much seating so definitely a pick up only. Highly recommend for some nice treats! read more

Thank god for this place! I was in heaven coming here. Love the fact that there's gluten free and regular goodies. My boyfriend isn't gluten free but he tried the "saints" cupcake, and he LOVED it. The chocolate one with the little berries on top- wow,chefs kiss. Can the world please catch on like this place has done?? They are doing it right here. Customer service was absolutely excellent and they were super nice and friendly. We also tried the chocolate chip cookies and they were phenomenal! We will definitely come back when we're in the area again. Street parking only but had no problem finding it. read more

Extremely good. The service here is excellent, as is the product. Tres Leches for the win!

If these delicious desserts make me a sinner, I don't ever want to be a saint! This is a magical place where each dessert is crafted with love and the hands of angels! You can't go wrong with anything here, but let the staff guide you to dessert heaven. The staff is really friendly so please ask them questions. My go to is the bourbon croissant bread pudding and the tres leches cake! The pies are amazing, but make sure you order ahead of time for the holidays. There's a line sometimes so items do sell out. There's parking in the neighborhood and in front. It's small and cozy inside. Highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

The BEST gluten-free desserts in the city. So glad that they did not close, just moved next door! Favorites: brownies, cookies and chocolate chip cookie dough balls, chocolate chip pumpkin loaf. The Thanksgiving offerings of focaccia bread, stuffing, delicious pies and more make hosting so easy. Their staff is friendly, kind and knowledgeable. An awesome shop! read more

Only negative was parking and some treats I liked less than others. Tried both the saints and sinner options meaning gluten free or with gluten. Service was quick and the team member was knowledgeable and provided some background on the business. Has a kinda dark theme which matched the vibe for my Halloween time visit. A little more than I'd like to spend on desserts but it was a special night so we had some special treats. I stay closer to Orange County so this is quite a journey but worth a try if in the area. read more

We came in around 7pm on a Wednesday. We parked about a block away in a local neighborhood. As always, be careful about parking signs! Thankfully, there was no wait. We ordered the vanilla crème brûlée, the mini raspberry cream puff, and a marble cheesecake bite. I loved the crème brûlée! I also enjoyed the raspberry cream puff. I didn't try the marble cheesecake, but my friend loved it. I love that they have "mini" desserts so that we were able to try a variety of sweet treats--without feeling too full! It was the perfect amount for us. The cashiers were super sweet and helpful. The bakery itself is really cute and it has some outdoor seating. I recommend checking this spot out if you have a sweet tooth! read more

We got delivery from them and it was dope. Delivery dude set it outside of my building instead of ringing my buzzer. I mean...l.good but, I did tip 10 buckaroos! We ordered the cinnamon rolls which were delicious! I loved rolling it around in the cream cheese. I would only suggest that they serve these already warmed up. I didn't feel like popping these bad boys in the microwave but I have a feeling they would be next level. The Bread pudding was very good with a nice crunchy exterior. Just wish it were served warm and certain parts weren't so dry. The pumpkin loaf slice was very moist and the chocolate chip cookie was just okay. Some of these desserts probably would have tasted better warmed up. Oh, well. I still enjoyed my dessert. read more

What a great experience. We found this place on Yelp as we were in search for a GF dessert before we had back home. This place has sooo many options. First of, they have all their desserts marked with either Saints (GF) or Sinners (non GF) . How catchy is that? I love all the GF i ordered but my favorite was the GF Lemon Bar. It was just the perfect sweetness, the crust was amazing! I love the interior decor, and more importantly, we were greeted by such a warm and friendly, helpful lady! read more

I really liked the desserts from here! Solid place that I would come back to, the key lime pie was gooood

The dessert itself was fine, but there is way too much risk of cross-contamination to make this an actual option for gluten free dessert. The gf and non-gf options were all just sitting out together, no wrapping or anything. I don't really understand the concept of being gluten free if you don't need to be, and if you're able to risk cross contamination at this level then, you don't really need to be. My friend with celiac couldn't even eat anything here and again, what is the point? It also seems weird to me to call having a dessert "sinning" but that's just semantics. read more

Quick recap: -          Food: Good -          Portion size: Small to average -          Service: At the counter -          Environment: Small coffee shop -          $: Average -          Perks: A couple of tables outside Overall? I recommend the place. The coffee is good and the mini desserts are delicious! More details: The cappuccino was solid (about $3-4). We tried multiple mini desserts. All of the mini-lemon tarts (lemon and strawberry, lemon and blackberry) and the mini vanilla tarts were really good ($2.50 ish pre-tax). The staff was average. read more
