Their gluten free breakfast burritos were absolutely delicious! My daughter loved their bagels, and that says a lot because she is extremely picky when it comes to bagels!

Um heck yes! So happy I found this. As a gluten free person I never get to indulge. I don’t know what magic they’re doing, but all the gluten free stuff is incredible. The eclairs are especially unreal. Gluten free bagel is rare perfection. Yummy drinks too! Friendly staff, cute little outdoor sitting, reasonable…

Absolutely adorable store, from the cute patio setup outside to the bright and cheerful decor inside. The selection of macarons are always delicious, with one special one larger (like the Minnie mouse one in the pic), right now there's fall flavors as well. And they are delicious!

Absolutely adorable store, from the cute patio setup outside to the bright and cheerful decor inside. The selection of macarons are always delicious, with one special one larger (like the Minnie mouse one in the pic), right now there's fall flavors as well. And they are delicious! True flavors, not overwhelming (the pumpkin chai was balanced), the cookies are cold (like macarons should be) but not frozen, so we can eat them in the car. It's worth the drive from Loveland, definitely a week earned treat after a visit to children's.

Such a cute shop, and lovely staff! I ordered an iced dirty chai latte and a macaron and both were great. So many indulgent gluten free options, both sweet and savory.

Bella has a rotating and creative macaron flavor set. I love stopping in to make a custom dozen. The shop is so cute and has an adorable patio area with coffee and pastries too. I can’t get enough of this place. This is your sign to go get yourself some macarons. You deserve it.
