I popped in here to grab some goodies for a friend who is GF. Donna is super friendly and a fellow Pittsburgher, so we shot the breeze and reminisced of our upbringings in Steel City. On to the baked goods, wow! I went away with a strawberry hand pie, 2 orange cranberry scones, a cinnamon scone and 2 cinnamon bun coffee cakes. I'm not even GF and the baked goods I tried were absolutely delicious! The scone was even warm, which was a total game changer. Give Donna's place some love! You won't regret it! She offers a military discount as well. read more

This place is so awesome! They have sandwiches on homemade gluten-free bread. The bread reminded me of sourdough...yum yum. They also have an array of doughnuts, scones, cakes, and they even sell tea. I had the Gobfather, which was turkey, pesto, spinach, and havarti cheese. It was delicious!! The white cranberry scone was really good. The blueberry one was a little dry, but had good flavor. They had an ube mini bundt cake and ube doughnut that was simply delicious!! They have plenty of seating for a cafe. Service was good though busy so it took a little time to get my sandwich, but it was so worth the wait. The owners's son was so apologetic for the delay. Go check out Sun Flour Cafe, an 100% gluten-free cafe!! read more

We have an event coming up here. So i decided to drop by and check them out beforehand. Its in a shopping center close to Sharetea. I couldn't find it at first, but there's a sign in the window if you look for it. Its a cute little bakery with a few tables to hang out at. The owner is a very nice lady with a welcoming smile. Very friendly!!! She answered my questions and told me what she had baked for the day. She had sugar cookies, scones, strawberry jam cake, and a few other things. I came for the ube cake, but she didn't have any on this day. So you should definitely call first if you're looking for something in particular. I got a sugar cookie. They were only a dollar which was right up my alley, so i got another. She had her son bring one from the back. My only complaint was he brought the cookie out with his bare hands. No gloves or with a tissue!! He was wearing a backpack so idk if he was just outside or what he had been doing, so that small moment did bother me... Because it just wasn't sanitary. But i know it was a simple mistake so i got over it. I prayed over that cookie in hopes that his hands were clean.. Lol... Please Lord. That's my only complaint. I do hope she'll fix this one issue. She has vegan and gluten free options as well i think she mentioned.. The cookies were crispy and pretty good. Just enough sweetness and reasonably priced. I am gonna return to try the ube cake because the pics did look good. It also smelled good like baked goodies. I love bakery smells. Lol. Check them out!!! read more

Ube is my thing. So when I saw that they had it last week, I got to try it. This Ube Sponge Cake was soft, moist and delectable. I wouldn't know it's GF. The icing was not too sweet and exactly the right umph for this cake. If she makes it again, I will not think twice to get it again. Maybe two slices this time. read more

So, let me just say that I'm so disappointed I didn't out about this tea room until right before we're about to move to Maryland. Boyfriend is gluten free because it causes inflammation, so we came here after a recommendation on Facebook from the Hampton Roads takeout group. We got there and Donna was taking a call, so we waited a bit before she came to open the shop. Donna is a whirlwind and such a big personality. I love it! She's also very knowledgeable about gluten free basically everything and easy to talk to. We bought two turkey meatball paninis with pasta salad, a loaf of bread, and creamy earl grey tea. The bread for the panini was fresh baked that morning and the panini was put together to order. The same bread she baked was made by her and also gluten free. The whole meal was gluten free as is the tea. I've never had gluten free bread taste this good y'all! Boyfriend has been semi on his own because I'm a carb lover and it's hard, but this will make it easy and we will be ordering from Donna to take with us. I will say it was a little pricey, but gluten free traditionally is but, Donna also does organic and I'm perfectly content with paying for great, quality ingredients that taste great. Definitely go check her out as her food offerings change daily and it all looks so delicious. Do not miss out. read more

100% Gluten free cafe?! These are far and few to come by. A friend who is also gluten intolerant recommended I check this place out. It's so nice not to have to ask additional questions to decide whether something is going to be safe to eat or not. Ms. Donna the owner was so enjoyable to talk to. She explained how she can do custom made orders and I'm really excited to order some cinnamon rolls. Anyways onnto the food. I decided to sit down in this cozy Cafe and enjoy a Turkey Reuben with no sauerkraut. The homemade gluten free bread was delicious and had the perfect texture. I also got an apple donut, Toffee crunch cookie and chocolate glob to go. Ms. Donna let me know they do different events at the Cafe which sounds so amazing. Also, you don't have to be gf to support. It's small businesses like these that you really see the people put their heart and soul into the food but don't get enough recognition. My panini came with chips and I also got a water. My total was around $20 not bad at all but that did include a 10% discount for being a first time customer. I felt so at home and will be back read more

First thing first, the owner is super sweet and very knowledgeable, so you have any question fill free to ask and she is more than welcome to answer and help you out. This was my first time going here by I follow her fb posts a lot and it's a good place to check in first before going just in case she had to close for a bit to grab her son. I grabbed 3 different sweets for Valentine's the chocolate chip cookie which I loved and ate before I drove off in my car. I waited to try the other two till we got to my sisters. We loved the whoopie pie even though the filling is a bit to sweet for my taste but loved the outside layer. The sugar cookie was way to sweet for me but my sisters husband loved it. I definitely want to come back to try one of her lunches she makes. Oh and she is 100% gluten free in her products so no chance of cross contamination read more

Just visited Sun flour cafe for the first time, and it won't be the last. The cafe is very quaint, simple, and quiet, but the food is way beyond simple. We enjoyed a few of their paninis and tried many of their desserts. You would never know that it was gluten free!! Everything was moist and delicious. I definitely recommend Sun flour whether you're gluten free or not. read more

***Writing this review as a member of a group even that was booked here as a venue*** We booked a group event for this location where we hired an artist to do a paint night with our Ladies Group from church. Overall things turned out well and everyone had a good time - with the exception of a few snafus. While booking, we were given two difference prices for the venue + food. The second quote happened when we came back to finalize plans and square up. The second quote was higher than the first, but since we had booked the artist and had RSVP's in-hand, we didn't have much choice. I am also responsible for this, as I should have gotten quote in writing for the use of the venue and provision of food and tea. The second moment at which we ran into an issue was NOT the fault of the owner of TranquiliTea, but more of an issue with the folks she leases from. We were all getting settled in when a landscaper knocked and lets know that though we were parked in designated spots, we needed to move several vehicles so that he could get his truck around the building. Oops! We complied, of course, and things were back in the swing within 10 minutes or so. After that, things went swimmingly! The treats she provided were delightful, she was kind and served tea throughout the duration of our event, and she was happy to do it all. They have a great selection of teas and the environment was very nice. I haven't been in the shop when it is set up fully for tea and retail, but I look forward to returning for a visit! read more

I used to be very fond of this place as I have Celiac Disease and any amount of gluten hurts me. I used to get all the yummy treats except one day I went home with one of the calzones and while eating it I felt sick, I started having the brain fog I get when glutened. Nothing I had ate in the days prior were new foods, only this calzone. I didn't feel sick before this either but I had glutened symptoms for days afterwards. Giving 2 stars because the owner is a sweetheart, however I'm too paranoid to go back after my experience. read more

The place was somewhat hidden in a little shopping area, but once I found it, it was a nice little shop. Everything was dedicated gluten-free, and the food was fresh and delicious. I'm only in town for a wedding but if I ever visit again I know I can come here for a good meal. read more

EXCELLENT GLUTEN FREE FOOD. Meals and desserts too. Check on Facebook for that day's menu.

This is the worst experience I've ever had at a tea shop. I visited TranquiliTea on two different occasions, both of which were within normal operating hours and yet the shop was still closed. Before I attempted on the third occasion I called and the shop was still closed but the owner agreed to meet me at the shop (she had been home with her 15 year old sons that had a cold). The shop is cute and has an open layout, however, the inventory was extremely limited, and all of the teas come prepackaged so that you can't see or smell the leaves. This is odd for a tea shop. Despite my utter disappointment up until this point, it gets worse. I paid $26 for 100g (3.5 ounces) of Earl Grey. For anyone moderately aware of typical tea prices, this is unheard off. A good tea is typically three to four dollars an ounce, her markup put the tea at $9 an ounce. Doesn't end there however, it's really the gift that keeps on giving... when I get back to work to check out this $26 tea, I opened it up and it's a vacuum sealed bag directly from the whole seller!!! I then go online because I have to see just how much this tea was marked up, I create an account online because you don't have to be a business, and see that the exact earl grey I purchased is sold for $16.04 for a 500g bag!!!! I pad $26 for 100g. So essentially it's $3.20 per 100g . So yeah, TranquiliTea is nothing more than a brick and mortar middle man. A hustler, a swindler, a bamboozler... I've been hoodwinked and I'm outraged. For the love of all things good, steer clear, save yourself a trip and either frequent Quintins Tea Emporium in Virginia Beach, or just go to www.jenierteas.com because that the supplier that TranquiliTea uses. This is egregious. A total violation of ethics and common decency. I do not recommend this shop, or agree with the business practices. I'm not sure if there are any laws against markup, I understand that profit must be made and that markups are a part of business, but this type of price gouging has got to be a violation of at least ethics. read more

This is a place that needs to be checked out, especially those that can't have gluten. read more

Sunflour cafe has been such an amazing treat as a person with Celiac disease. Every treat I have gotten from here has been incredible, I most often get white sand which bread which I freeze and use for a few weeks. I just picked up cinnamon rolls today and could cry over how delicious they are. First cinnamon roll in 7 years and couldn't be happier. read more

This place is the bomb. I saw gluten free while drinking by so I had to drop in. I popped in just to check it out and was delighted to see gluten free baked items along with a super friendly owner ready to help. I got a donut which is for sure the best gluten free donut I have ever had. She gave me a piece of peach cake for free just because it was baked yesterday. It was heavenly as well. Everything is made in house down to the gluten free croutons on salads. I can't wait to come back with a girlfriend and have lunch. read more

We stopped in for lunch and tried the pasta that was available today. It was delicious! Even though I was full I had to try the almond cake with another cup of the chai tea. We will definitely be going back. And everything is gluten free!! read more

Recently, 2 friends and I visited for lunch. One has a gluten sensitivity so we thought we would try this place. The food was good and the owner was friendly and knowledgeable. However, too friendly as we never got to visit. She monopolized our time talking about her life, experience etc.. We did enjoy the lunch, however we are not planning a return visit. Maybe take out is a good option. read more
