What a special treat for our family that has food allergies! It's literally a sanctuary here that feels like there are people who really do care! We had everything from the strawberry cupcakes to the breads and brownies! It was all so so delicious and everyone in the family enjoyed it! The space is warm and inviting and provides plenty of space to enjoy these lovely treats! If only we lived here in San Diego to enjoy it! Thank you so so much for being here Starry Lane!! read more

Always looking for a bakery that has great Gluten Free and/or Vegan options. Finally made it here and it did not disappoint. Great customer service as soon as I stepped in. The girl at the counter explained to me everything and answered all my questions in regards to the products. Bakery has a few tables inside if you want to enjoy your goodies. They had four type of gluten free breads, including a pretzel roll which I had never seen. They had a wide selection of Dairy free/Gluten free cupcakes. Amazing including a Lavender one! Looking forward to trying that one. I got all the types of bread to take home loaf, sandwich roll, sub and pretzel. I also purchased a few cupcakes to go. Tried the pretzel bread in the car. Wow! You would not know it was gluten free! They also do cakes to order. This is my new go to bakery! read more

Top 10 allergen free bakery!!! So cool! I hate to pull the "you would have never guessed by the taste" but their baked goods are phenomenal, even for those without allergies! I have gotten birthday cakes here before and they are always fluffy, tasty, and look amazing. Employees are knowledgeable about allergies. They are kind and patient, answering many questions. Parking can be tough, plan accordingly! read more

Starry Lane Bakery is an allergy-free bakery similar to The Caring Kitchen is Sacramento (but not as cute inside). They're very strict with keeping their establishment allergy free, so if you have food allergies, you can feel comfortable coming here. They even made me put my oat milk latte in a locker outside because they don't let anyone bring anything inside that could cause cross contamination. They have gluten-free vegan bread, cookies, pies, tortes, bars/brownies, cupcakes, muffins, and cakes. I got a little chocolate tart and brought it home with me on the plane. She was nice and helped to package it for a safe journey. They suggest not refrigerating the desserts. I guess it changes the consistency. read more

I'm obsessed with this bakery! I've been allergic to tree nuts my whole life and have been visiting Starry Lane since they were at their previous location years ago. Their desserts have been a part of my birthdays, graduations, and many other life events that are made even more special thanks to their delicious and allergen-free desserts! I have never had a regular biscotti (typically almond-based) but thanks to Starry Lane I have and know I love them! Their Chocolate Chip Espresso biscotti's are delicious, and their Oatmeal Raisin cookies are also to die for. Everyone who works there is always so kind and informative, and I love the bakery space! I swung by yesterday because I've been dying to try their new Mystery Boxes, and was so happy with what I got! Anytime I'm in the area, I check to see if they're open and HAVE to stop by. read more

100% for everybody especially the gluten free community. I'm not gluten free and regardless, this bakery makes the best cupcakes. Made a call and picked them up day before mother's day for our celebration. 3 rd time ordering from them 100% love this place. read more

Know before you go: They sell EXCLUSIVELY allergen-free treats. Great if you are looking for this type of dessert but could skip it if that isn't the purpose of your visit. On the pricey side ($7 for a 2-bite pastry and $70 for a dozen cupcakes) but again, you're paying for the speciality items being allergen free. I'm not used to this type of dessert so quite frankly they weren't my favorite. As you can probably tell, I'm not gluten/dairy/etc free so take this review with a grain of salt. read more

Starry Lane Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

While visiting the San Diego area with a family member who is gluten-free we decided to try it. Located in the very cute neighborhood of Hillcrest, Starry Lane is an allergy friendly bakery for gluten, nuts and soy and they had a good selection of items to choose from, from bread to sweet treats, and even mixes to take home and bake. They even ask to keep all outside food away to keep it safe for those who are truly allergic to those ingredients. We tried several items are our favorites were the chocolate brownie, and the chocolate chip espresso and cinnamon biscotti. As someone who does eat gluten, I'm not sure this would be my 1st choice, but it's great option for anyone who wants to avoid those allergen ingredients. Service was friendly and it's nice there a few tables to sit at inside. read more

You can't even tell these cupcakes are gluten-free! I ordered the s'mores, cookies and cream, and chocolate. The chocolate and s'mores were my favorites.

Food: finding a cake for folks who have gluten and dairy allergies is a lot of work.

We will absolutely continue to order items from this bakery when we are in town! read more

Thank you for everything you do for those of us in the allergy community!! I bring these pastries and bread to everyone and no matter if they have allergies or not the consensus is that this is the best bakery EVER! First of all everyone please do themselves a favor and get the bread loaf and the pretzel roll, these are so good I always just eat them before I can make anything with the bread. Especially the pretzel roll! But the baked goods are truly amazing. Love getting cupcakes so I can have a treat when I'm going to an event I know there won't be a treat for me. And I LOVE just getting a just cause sweet treat here, it's impossible to not want to eat everything. I've truly loved absolutely everything I've had here. Last year I got my birthday cake from here and being able to have a birthday cake is a joy that I didn't know I had missed!! The birthday cake was absolutely fantastic. Not only was it beautiful and had my favorite flowers on it, but we customized it to be my favorite flavors, and the strawberry filling was just amazing. Best cake I have ever ever had. I don't live in San Diego any more but I'm thinking about this place always and will definitely come back every time I visit! It was always so amazing to pop in for a pretzel roll and a biscoff or whatever sweet treat I wanted that day! Thank you!! read more

I haven't had bread this fluffy and delicious in such a long time Their biscotti and cinnamon rolls are very good as well! I'll be back read more

My mom treated us with some pastries from this allergen friendly bakery. We enjoyed the scone and the cupcake the best. The fruit tarts were a bit dry and the frosting was too sweet. I tried there pastries one other time before and if I recall it was there cupcakes. They are vegan and gluten free friendly since they don't use eggs or dairy among other things. Their base is a corn flour. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. It's a great option for people with allergies or dietary restrictions. read more

Starry Lane Bakery - Pastries - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

For my daughter to be able to walk into a bakery and eat whatever we wants, and for her to have a smile on her face because "it's so yummy," I would give this place 10 stars if I could. My daughter is allergic dairy and eggs, which are ingredients at every typical bakery, but here she's able to eat to her heart's content. We tried the cupcakes and cookies, and as someone who eats gluten, dairy and eggs, these are delicious and they don't make you feel like you're missing the "real thing." This is our second time at Starry Lane, and we plan on continuing to go every time we're in San Diego! read more

Was throwing an event and needed a dessert option for my GF and Vegan guests. I ordered half a dozen mixed cupcakes - Devils Food, Strawberry and Carrot Cake. I never tried them but they were lovely looking and my GF friend literally ate one of each and said they were delicious. My only disappointment was the cupcake size for the price I paid. They did not look like full-size cupcakes, but they were not mini either and they run $5.51 ea (33 for 1/2 dozen) which seemed a bit steep. Other than that, thumbs up from me! read more

It was overpriced for the amenities. The pastries/cakes were good nothing to complain about. If you just want a togo item it's delicious but expensive. Maybe I just really like the Babycakes down the street that has beer wine and high end coffee for the same dough. read more

Prolly the only place in SD that make baked goods that are free of major allergens which include: gluten, dairy, egg, soy, tree nuts and peanuts. Check the full list of ingredients for each item in their website.. So far, we've tried the flatbread, molasses bread, pretzel bread and chocolate chip cookies -they are all surprisingly amazing. They will tell you also to NOT refrigerate them. I like to stick 'em in the microwave for about 10-15 sec to warm the bread and it is just perfect! They typically last about 3 days. I have tried their chocolate cupcake and brownies, those were ok to me but hey, coming from someone who bakes, and have dietary restrictions... the breads and cookies are truly exceptional. They definitely got the texture down... sometimes i forget that i'm eating a GF bread. I can say this is def at the top of my list of best! And the fact that is egg free and soy free also, it is def a winner! read more

Bobbyjo, you are the best, thank you! Thank you for your help. I typically never get to enjoy delicious pasteries due to my health and your bakery has made it possible for me to enjoy delicious treats.  Your bakery was the first that allowed me to be able to enjoy foods that I witness people devour all the time.  3x I had your pastries... in less than one week and I loved them!  The flavors come through so well, the cakes are moist, the biscotties are flavorful, the breads are so tender and heavenly. I love everything I have ever ordered from your bakery. Especially the triple chocolate oatmeal cookies. Thank you for the delicious treats! read more

Pros: * Allergen friendly store; you cannot bring in outside food * Good customer service * Good tasting price - $15 for 3 flavors of cake and multiple filling options * Easy to communicate with via email Cons: * Out of our tasting, the only thing I liked was the chocolate cake. I did not care for any of the fillings, frostings, or or other cake Extra: * Very sweet. I recommend this place for a person with a giant sweet tooth * I would recommend this place for anyone with severe allergies. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Starry Lane Bakery! Jaime and BobbyJo, who are some of the sweetest, kindest, and most amazing people you'll ever meet, are just so awesome! Their positive energy fills the entire space, and you can truly feel the love and care they put into everything they do. The fact that everything here is completely free of the top 10 allergens is nothing short of incredible. It's so rare to find a bakery that is completely safe for those with food sensitivities, yet still delivers on flavor, texture, and pure deliciousness. Every bite is a testament to their dedication to quality and inclusivity, making it possible for everyone--regardless of dietary restrictions--to indulge in truly delightful treats. One of my absolute favorites is their tortes--oh my goodness, they are just perfect! The balance of sweetness is spot on--not too sugary, just rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. You can taste the thoughtfulness behind every ingredient, and the texture is absolutely divine. Whether it's for a personal treat, a special occasion, or a thoughtful gift, their desserts never disappoint. I'm beyond grateful to have found Starry Lane Bakery and to have met such wonderful people as Jaime and BobbyJo. Their kindness, passion, and talent shine through in every aspect of this bakery, from the food to the atmosphere. If you're looking for incredible baked goods made with love and care, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back again and again. Thank you for making the world a little sweeter--one delicious bite at a time! read more

Ordered the chocolate raspberry tort for guests at our wedding with dietary restrictions and it was a huge hit, one of the best gluten-and-all-the-other-stuff-free cakes we've ever had! read more

Great options and I love that I don't have to question the ingredients . I highly recommend this for food allergy locals

went in thinking i would get healthier treats. i am glad they're allergen free. i wish they wouldn't use palm oil or ingredients that would increase inflammation. i just noticed the ingredients online. i tried the regular brownie which was good but on the oily side. tried a bite of the brownie with caramel and that was not so great. texture seemed stale but it might have been just caramel part that was too chewy. tried a bite of the campfire, it was good and moist but a bit too sweet tried the strawberry cupcake which was a bit stale it seems not much flavor. tried a bite of bundtcake it's a hit or miss! read more

Starrylane, you have no idea how much your bakery means to me. Living with food allergies has always made eating out stressful and isolating, but walking into your shop felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. For the first time I could choose anything from the case and just enjoy it without fear. Every bite was delicious, but more than that, it gave me back a sense of normalcy I didn't realize I was missing. Thank you for creating a place where people like me can feel safe, included, and truly cared for. I am beyond grateful. read more

Purchased some treats with friends. The cupcakes weren't good at all. Also tried one of the berry tortes - gross. We ended up tossing the cupcakes. Not sure if it was just a bad batch or what, but there are better places around that have options for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. The service was mediocre at best. I asked a few questions about the cupcakes and the cashier was dismissive and somewhat rude. Ambiance was bland. Bottom line - quality and value just wasn't there. read more

The place is really cute and the owner or worker there was really nice. The desserts are overpriced and I could not eat the cupcake that I bought. I ended up throwing it away. I guess it is good for people with allergies, but if you don't have any, hard pass. read more

My friend got me this cake for my birthday and it was seriously so good!! I can't believe it's gluten free and dairy free. It tasted just like a normal cake. Very rich in chocolate flavor! read more

Starry Lane Bakery - Chocolate cake - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

Not sure why there are a few negative reviews. I love this bakery best out of all the remaining gluten free, dairy free options left in San Diego. It is a bit of a drive for us but well worth it. The cakes are phenomenal, we recently had two cakes made for us. The Victorian rose garden was beautifully decorated, and the Half Rose was awesome too. For many years I made all of our gluten free daughter's 3 dimensional cakes myself, including an exact replica of her beloved dog, a horse and a princess doll cake. It's a relief to finally have a great bakery available within driving distance that I know will decorate a cake well and have is taste good too. Many bakeries master one or the other, but this is the rare bakery that manages to do both, and do it well. Thank you Starry Lane for your wonderful creations! read more

This place is definitely worth the price. A Little more pricey than your standard bakery but really not by much considering the quality! The service was fantastic and the cupcakes delicious! Totally recommend! read more

Starry Lane Bakery - Buy someone a cup - Bakeries Near Me - San Diego, California

As I've gotten older, I've learned I'm not a cupcake/cake person, so I can't provide a review on those, however the pretzel rolls are absolutely delicious. The cinnamon rolls are okay, but for people with allergies a solid 7/10. The chocolate torte is good, lemon bar is good, oatmeal cookie is good. Do some other places have "better" gluten free items? They do. But this place completely eliminates any chance of cross contamination and that is rare and really gives some people the chance to walk into a bakery and pick something from the counter without fear and I think it's a solid option!! read more

Recently discovered food sensitivities. Still figuring out what is triggering them. Trying to experiment by removing the most common culprits and reintroducing them to see a reaction. Lucky to live so close to the #1 in the US allergy free bakery. Everything was consumed and didn't have much of a reaction. Great bakery and makes those with different diets feel normal. read more

Will not be going here again. They never make enough product to serve the customers. The large chocolate chip cookie had 4 chocolate chips in it and was greasy. The tart and the chocolate pastry was way too sweet and dry. For the prices the products should taste much better. read more

Love that I can go in and choose anything in the store to eat! I will definitely visit again when I come back into town.

Still in search of the best cinnamon rolls in San Diego.. This is gluten free bakery. I thought, ok, why not try it. Maybe I'm missing out. If you are not gluten free, this place may not for you for cinnamon rolls. But if you are gluten free, perfect place to be! It had a texture of cupcake for their cinnamon rolls. The size of it was TINY. Are these for ANTS? I think the flavors were there but the it wasn't satisfying. There limited parking on the streets, but we quickly parked across the parking lot and had no issue. The decor in the place is lacking, it has a lot of potential as the space is fairly large. read more

We were walking by and stopped in get a dessert - first time here. So super impressed. Everything is not only gluten free, and vegan and dairy free, but also top 10 allergen. And they have such a huge selection to choose from. The tightest decision was narrowing it down to two items. You can spend forever just peering in to the fridge windows trying to decide what to get. And they have a bar code that you can scan to get the ingredients for each item. There is no seating inside (but they hope to red-add them again soon). Apparently the bakers get there at 4am to start all the baking. We just got two items but we will be going back regularly as the prices were so good. read more

I absolutely love that this bakery caters to food allergies and intolerances! It's so cute and cozy inside and they have so many items to choose from. We got two smores cupcakes and a strawberry tart/torte thing. The cupcakes were so good! Not overly sweet and a nice mixture of chocolate/marshmallow/graham cracker. I wasn't as crazy about the torte - I thought the cake was too spongy and lacked flavor, but the strawberries on top were nice. I also like that they take allergies so seriously. They don't allow any outside food or drink to minimize risk of contamination. Having worked with someone who was wildly allergic to mint and another with a severe peanut allergy and seeing how terrifying a reaction can be, I really appreciate their commitment to keeping people safe. read more
