I was delighted to find this bakery upon arriving in Dallas with time to kill before heading to my destination. As a Celiac who also chooses a plant-based lifestyle, I like to support bakeries like this. I went with the pumpkin-walnut muffins so that I could have one on my way back home, and share with my wife who follows the same diet as me. We went through the muffins so quickly that I didn't get a photo of an individual, but trust me they look -- and taste -- delicious. I enjoyed the final one as part of a bowl, post workout on Thanksgiving Day, with blueberries, plant based yogurt and hemp seeds. So amazing! If/when, I am back in Dallas, I will come back to visit! read more

Unrefined Bakery - Lemon and brown velvet cupcakes - Gluten-Free Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Ordered their KETO holiday package, and also bought one for a friend for xmas. We just saw each other last night, and the two couples all had the same take - this bakery produces absolutely ghastly product. Bland. And a bizarre mouthfeel that can only be described as "wet, soggy bread" that had fallen in a bucket and was quickly fished out. AND, NONE of this stuff was cheap. I'm not a master pastry chef - but I know SOMETHING about baking. Pastries taste "wet" because water has replaced fat: this bakery must be using higher hydration, gums, emulsifiers, and seed oils to cut costs and extend shelf life, which traps free moisture instead of creating structure. Since it all came frozen, freeze-thaw cycles, steam-heavy baking, and underbaking keep that moisture from escaping, so the pastry compresses and oozes instead of flaking. In short, their pastries taste like they're optimized for efficiency and holding time, not mouthfeel--so we were tasting water where butter should have been doing the work. Absolute fail. Had to apologize to my friend for the "gift" (I'll get him something else). If your personal experience was good, that's awesome. From my pov ... total fail. read more

Always get birthday GF cakes from here for my family. Highly recommend chocolate GF cake with chocolate butter cream icing. read more

My #1 pick for all foods, take-home meals and desserts, allergen-free and healthy. I have soy and gluten allergies, and this is the only place in Dallas where I can order freely without second-guessing--and everything actually tastes so good. The desserts are honestly better than most traditional bakeries, and the fact that they also serve real meals makes it even better. The only desserts I've had there that aren't the best are the keto desserts. What's more impressive is how my super picky 5-year-old asks for seconds every time. It doesn't feel like a "free-from" compromise--it feels like an upgrade. If you're looking for a truly gluten-free, allergy-friendly spot in Dallas, this is it. read more

Ok- we need more locations asap (NW metroplex area)! What a gem to stumble upon. Everything here is gluten free and many things were also keto! They offered several samples which made us buy even more. They have lots of things that are ready to eat and tons in the freezer. I wish we would've stocked up. We loved the sugar cookies, banana muffins, pumpkin muffins, chocolate cake and vanilla cupcakes. I'm salivating just thinking about them again. Staff was very patient with our questions and slow decision making. Can't wait to return. read more

We stopped into this location today for the first time. I was sad to see that the mckinney ave location is no longer there. It has apparently relocated to richardson. My mom is gf and theres not that many gf bakery options so every time she visits we have to stop in here at least once for treats! We loved our cupcakes. She got the chocolate and i got the lemon. I was disappointed with the lemon one- the cupcake itself was very light and moist but i wanted more lemon flavor in the cupcake and the frosting. Some lemon curd in the middle would be divine. Service is always great and i love looking around at all the great gf baked goods and treats they have available. read more

Unrefined Bakery - Vegan Cupcakes - Gluten-Free Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I was just driving by and curiosity got the best of me so I walked in. I bought the Banana Walnut muffins on a whim and was pleased that I did. What I liked about these is that they are healthy tasting (not to sweet) and based upon the ingredients, good for you. The people who worked there were very courteous and I will come back and here try something else in the future. read more

I called to place an order for a cake and for dinner rolls ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. I was told that the best plan was to just come by and see what they had in stock because they usually keep things in stock. So what is the deal with custom cakes or online ordering? Just a farce? Does that happen from a central kitchen? If so, perhaps the store staff could help redirect potential customers. At the very least, it would be nice if the staff would not mock a customer request and basically just say, call back a couple of days before and we'll see what we have available. Maybe other locations are better?? Not impressive to a potential first-time client. read more

The co-founder of Unrefined bakery messaged me within an hour of my review apologizing for the rude customer service and sandwich debacles. He told me he would add a note to the DoorDash orders so people can comment with changes or notes to their order which will help significantly. He assured me that this issue would be looked into and dealt with immediately. The next day I received a gift card that I plan to use and give the place another chance. Customer service is so important right now when there are multiple food choices so it's nice to see someone take responsibility for the inconveniences and promise quick action to make things better. I hope the yellow mustard man learns how to make a good sandwich. Thanks Taylor! read more

I stumbled onto this place with a sweet tooth. I'm not gluten free or any special diet I just wanted some sweets. Great selection and window display gave me plenty to drool over... I decided on the Loaded Monkey cupcake and a cookie. Did not disappoint and I'll be happy to return sooner than later! read more

I love that this bakery is gluten free, and soy free with many vegan options. I got the chocolate cake, chocolate frosting vegan cake for a friend/coworkers birthday. It was rich and moist, yet light. I love that you don't feel heavy after eating it, with it not having any of that high fructose corn syrup that traditional cakes have. Also, they have sandwiches and smoothies here. I haven't gotten to try those yet but it is a genius idea that it has so much to offer. read more

Happy to see there were 5 vegan cupcake options and more cookie options! There's a large selection of a freezer with more vegan options. I ordered 3 cupcakes and all were amazing! Reasonably priced for specialty cupcakes at about $4-5. read more

My husband spent days researching and reading reviews to find a ketogenic bakery that could bake and ship a birthday cake to our house for my 46th birthday. We live in Michigan and he knew the cake would need to ship, safely, in the hot July weather, and be strictly ketogenic for my dietary restrictions. The good: The cake, a three layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, did arrive to our house in great shape and it was frozen solid. It was so frozen in fact it took 12 hours for it to thaw out at room temperature after spending three days with UPS. The cake could have been dropped on the floor and still been in one piece - it was a solid brick of frozen cake. The bad: Along with the cake, my husband ordered two packs of chocolate whoopie pies. It was unbelievably thoughtful of him. The whoopie pies also arrived in great shape. They were not frozen when they arrived, however. The whoopie pies were not great. The cake was dry to the point of being hard around the edges and the chocolate flavor was almost non-existent. I'm wondering if the cake was both over-mixed and over-baked. The filling was greasy and heavy. The ugly: After the cake thawed we were able to cut two very small pieces and both noticed the frosting on the side of the cake was crumbling, which is a sign of improper mixing with cold butter or not enough liquid. Dry frosting is the worst. We both were excited about the cake because this was my birthday cake and I did not have to bake. Unfortunately, this excitement was short lived because this was the worst cake either of us had ever had. The cake tasted like what we imagine a wet sponge tastes like. There was no chocolate flavor. Chocolate cake can be tricky, but a bakery that specializes in very expensive ketogenic cakes should be able to bake at least a semi-edible chocolate cake. This entire cake ended up in the trash. It was not even semi-edible. If you need a bakery that is really good at freezing and shipping cakes, Unrefined is the bakery for you. If you need a bakery that will bake you a delicious chocolate ketogenic cake, keep looking. read more

Amazing gluten free bakery with lots of variety! Staff are very kind and helpful and give out samples. I got the carrot cake cupcake, the loaded monkey (banana bread cupcake with chocolate and peanut butter), and the sprinkle cookie sandwich! 10/10 read more

Unrefined Bakery - a man behind the counter - Gluten-Free Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My sister ordered a small vegan cake for our Mother's birthday. When I arrived the worker seemed to not be able to find the pre-paid order in neither my name, nor my sister's name. After some time another worker helped him find it (it was in my name, a name I had spelled out, and give him 3 times) and it was not vegan and contained a milk based cream cheese icing. I called my sister and she relayed the conversation that she had with the worker and he lied stating that she never specified that she wanted a completely vegan cake. My niece was a witness to the phone call and she said that her Mom did indeed confirm that the cake must be vegan. I asked could they bake another cake as the event was the next day and they said NO. They also did not offer our money back. They said that the only thing that they could do was to take a frozen cake that was already a week old. The one thing that our Mother requested was a fresh vegan cake and we couldn't deliver because of the Unrefined Bakery. Unrefined, as in ill mannered coarse, common, rough-cut, uncouth, vulgar, lacking refinement or cultivation or taste, crass. 1. They don't listen, it took him over 20 minutes to find my name of which he wrote and then could not read his own handwriting. 2. They are unorganized. 3. They don't on up to their mistakes. 4. They don't try to fix mistakes. 5. They showed no remorse, nor compassion for messing up our order 6. I will NOT ever be back. Don't use this company, find you another vegan company that is more refined and will care about their customers and who cares about getting their order right. read more

You legit can't go wrong when you stop by this bakery. I don't go often, but happened to have a meeting around the corner so I knew I would have to drop in. Also, I'm pretty sure they always have something available to taste, at the counter, which is nice! Everything is gluten free (which is why I go) and there are plenty of options that cater to other good sensitivities & allergies. I went 2 days ago and they already had a variety of frozen pies and crusts to get you ready for the holidays. There were some really cute Halloween themed cookies & I got one for my kid. I ate both of the brown velvet cupcakes that I got, immediately after. I also purchased and in the last 2 days had a cornbread muffin (frozen section) & I had a cinnamon roll (frozen section) that was too good to be true. Everything is sweet enough without being too sweet, which I really like and there's a plethora of options to choose from, on hand. Whether you need something for yourself or are having guests that have dietary restrictions, you can't wrong if you venture into Unrefined. read more

Unrefined Bakery - Just some staples, since I'm in the area. - Gluten-Free Near Me - Dallas, Texas

For all you gluten free, soy free, egg free, dairy free, nut free, corn free, keto and more lifestyles in Dallas this little gem is awaiting your arrival. From specialty cakes, to pizza crusts, hamburger buns, muffins, cookies and more - whatever your dietary needs Unrefined has something for you! I live a gluten free, soy free lifestyle and really try to limit my corn intake and this is THE ONLY bakery in town that has a selection (meaning more than just a handful) of options to choose from. They even make sandwiches and have drinks to go as well for those if you looking for a GF/SF meal :) I recently noticed they now deliver via GrubHub which is just too convenient my personal faves are : the carrot cake cupcake, sprinkle cookies, ginger molasses cookies and blueberry muffins. read more

As someone who's gluten free, this place is amazing! Everyone at the counter was so nice and the layout was so cute!

One of my favorite bakery experiences so far in Dallas. They have numerous options of cookies, pies, and cupcakes for vegan, gluten free, keto, and paleo diets, all beautifully labeled at the counter. It was my first time, and a staff member gladly showed me all the vegan items I was interested in. There were also free samples, and you get a free cookie on your first visit. I ended up getting the apple cinnamon cupcake and pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake ($5 each) which were very sweet for my tastes but I say that of most all desserts. There is even a rewards program but you'd be in for a long haul because you have to spend $100 to get one free cupcake. Overall, I'm very happy I stopped by, and there are some cute little shops nearby to check out while you enjoy your treat! read more

very expensive! The quality and taste not up to the cost. Suggest skipping this establishment. I will continue to keep looking for a reasonably priced treat. read more

It is super difficult to find gluten free and dairy free in the same product, so when I do, I am very happy. I have had their cupcakes, cookies, and pies. I am very particular about taste and texture. These are among the best that I have had. My other favorite bakeries are in Boston, Long Beach CA, and Nashville so having some in Dallas is a bonus. read more

Poor counter service. At opening time (10 a m.), the coffee machine should be ready to go. The second staff person should stop and assist at the counter ASAP when folks are waiting to check out (like when coffee machine prep is keeping the first worker busy). read more

I am not a fan of Gluten Free deserts. They just never tasted like the "real" deal. But, Unrefined Bakery has created the new and improved Real Deal. Dang, I got one of their pies and wow. It was great. Their pies will please both parties- The Gluten Frees and The Glutens. I actually became a glutton. Ate the entire pie by myself in three sittings Excellent! read more

We went all out at this place because I have celiac's and need gluten free and we were visiting Dallas and found this gem! All in all I would say great gluten free bakery choice! If your tastebuds are more accustomed to lots of super sugary and refined/processed sugars, then you might not be used to some of the flavors. I thought most the flavors were delicious! The fudge brownie cupcake was soooo good in consistency and moistness and flavor. The chocolate/sugar flavor was slightly muted, but I thought it was perfect. My boyfriend tried it and didn't care for it. Like I said, everything has a more natural taste there, which I loved. The sugar cookies tasted sooooo good! We also got a keto pizza and a gluten free pizza and they were both great! All in all I loved it. We also got cupcakes and the carrot with cream cheese icing was my favorite!! read more

Damaris at Medallion Center is a joy. She goes above and beyond. And the cakes? I dare you to find a better gluten free cake! They are always amazingly delicious. We've ordered from here for the last 3 years because of our daughter's celiac disease, and every time we have loved, loved the cake. read more

Amazing selection of dairy-free and vegan options! They have a refrigerator of smaller and half-cakes that bailed me out when I was in a pinch and needed a vegan cake on short notice. Everything is very tasty. I do personally think that Reverie Bakeshop (another vegan bakery) has a broader selection off-the-shelf, but I believe that Unrefined has a similar number of options available when you pre-order. read more

Quality made desserts (cookies, cakes, brownies, etc.) that are all made deliciously, gluten-free if preferred, or sugar-free. You could even custom order your own cake with which ever flavor you'd like - even sugar-free; in lieu of sugar, they use honey. I ordered a strawberry cake that was so delicious and you can certainly taste the honey but it wasn't overwhelming. They have a small frozen section that consisted of pies, muffins and cakes if in case you wanted to take it home and enjoy. For someone who is on a strict diet, Especially diabetic, this place puts a smile on the face! read more

I have finally found DELICIOUS again! Thank you, Unrefined Bakery, for giving my sweet tooth the boost that Celiac Disease has taken away!

I really hate to do this, but something is seriously wrong with my pie! As, I started to thaw it and slice it up. I noticed this black circle is not going away. I never bought a pie from here before and had no idea what is was. Maybe some decoration. But, after having my mom taste it. She said it tasty like wax from a candle that melted. Do you have wax, candles? But, whatever this black hole is unacceptable and I demand all inventory check for no further incident! read more

I love this place, but I just picked up my $18 pizza and it was the size of my hand. I asked what had changed in the size and why the price didnt follow. They said they got a new crust, but there was nothing they could do for me for the price. Heads up if you are expecting what you used to get it is 1/3 of the size. The crust was mushy and the ends were completely burnt. Dissapointed they wouldnt do anything to help with how often I go and spend money with them. read more

This is going to be a two part review. I was looking for birthday gift ideas for my lady, (I'm 40 years of age and I do not use the term girlfriend). I found this bakery via a Google search for "Vegan Treats", my lady has been a vegan for over 10 years. I read the reviews, went to the website, and gave all necessary information to place my order. The young lady who helped me with my order was very helpful! Very pleasant, and made great suggestions where needed! I wish I remembered her name. After we got all of the ins and outs covered I made a payment and received my receipt via email. So this is going to be a sweet surprise for my sweet vegan cutie pie!!!! Will write part 2 after delivery. Thanks a lot!!! Part 2 as promised... I ordered the Coconut Cream Cake and had 'Happy Birthday' written on it. The delivery was great, I gave the wrong address but they were able to get it out. My lady was very surprised! So we ate some cake later on that night and I gotta say...THAT CAKE WAS DELICIOUS!!!! I've never eaten a vegan cake before. This cake taste better than any birthday cake I've ever had! You need this in your life!!! read more

We placed an order from Unrefined for a large order of cupcakes for a corporate event. Most attending did not have special diets but since the birthday girl did, we ordered various types. Everyone raved about the cupcakes! Unrefined was very professional, friendly and obviously great bakers. They even delivered on time. I highly recommend. read more

The chocolate silk keto pie tasted like charcoal, the consistency was not good. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I would not buy it again.

Wonderful selection of cupcakes, cookies, cakes and pies. They also have sandwiches made to order, which we ordered and ate outside on their spacious bench--they were really good. We also had 3 cupcakes, 3 cookies and tried their 3 samples offered that day--all were excellent, tasty and had great texture. read more

Stopped in recently with my heart set on TuLus, but as we pulled up, to our surprise, this new bakery was here and TuLus was nowhere to be found. Because we had traveled about 20+ miles, we decided to give them a shot. We ordered 5 cupcakes- chocolate and brown velvet, and a loaf of gluten free bread for $32. The cupcakes were just OK. The owners claimed they won the best taste award throughout Dallas and that theirs was the only GF. I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing that. My chocolate muffin tasted more like a bran/flax muffin and my son didn't even want to eat his brown velvet. We also found the icing tasted "gritty". The cupcakes were moist though. I felt they were a bit overpriced and overall left feeling the drive was not worth it. The bread is very tasty, but I'm going to purchase a $25 breadmaker and experiment making my own. The owners were very nice though and took time to allow us to taste bread products and educate us. Also, we found it strange that TuLus disappeared without notice and this place popped up, but served similiar food. Coincidental? Hmm... Where did TuLu's go??? I miss you!!!! read more
