Wonderful, independent and locally owned Bakery. We love the gluten-free options as well as the vegan bakery Goods. The donuts were super light and fluffy, and gluten-free items were well priced and fresh! We love the old-school interior decor with the formica top kitchen tables for people to sit and have a nice hot cup of coffee. They had a …
Just wanted to take a second to show appreciation for my favorite bakery in Bloomington! 💙 We love Rainbow Bakery! 🌈 The sweetest, kindest, most compassionate staff in town and the yummiest custom cakes you can find in the area for the price. Ordered a custom cake kinda last second for my boyfriends birthday and the baker worked with me …
Incredibly kind folks making delicious food! Beautiful selection of baked goods, but my favorite was the breakfast hand pie. My friend has a gluten allergy, and the staff felt so bad that they had run out of savory gluten free options that they gave her a portion of their own staff lunch meal. Come patronize this business!
Some of the kindest staff! My friends and I came in later in the day, and one of us is gluten free. They didn’t have many options leftover, so instead they went to the back of house and cooked two wonderful meals for free for my friend to try. Generous, welcoming, selfless—and delicious food/baked goods to boot! Highly recommend, thank …
The best shop in Bloomington. Their menu is all vegan but tastes soo amazing. They have variety of donuts but my favourite is mango one. They jhave pleanty of space to sit. The staff is super friendly. If I could give it a 10 starts I would have but google limits me to 5 stars.
The desserts and savory food (breakfast sandwich) and chai latte were amazing. Great portions. Wonderful service (family owned and operated). Great music and atmosphere. Great community feel. As someone who is not vegan this was top tier. The owner and her family made my friend group feel at home
I had an amazing experience here! I purchased two gluten free bakery items: a banana nut muffin and an oatmeal pie. They were both delicious and the texture was fabulous! I also tried their cold brew coffee and it was perfectly bold and smooth. I cannot eat gluten and they were out of savory food, so the staff was generous …
Amazing vegan and gluten free options!! Loved the breakfast sandwich and the gluten free oatmeal cookie sandwich! Super reasonable prices too
Ordered a dozen gluten free cupcakes from here for a family member, a mix of lavendar and lemon with buttercream frosting, we didn't give them a design reference or anything, but we loved the what they came up with! Cupcakes weren't overly sweet and were light and airy! Also ordered a pistachio cardamom donut and one of the giant salted …
I ordered custom cupcakes for a large outdoor event this past weekend and was overjoyed with how they turned out. My vision was a mushroom and moss design. I wasn’t sure if the moss was doable based on the sample photo, but they immediately jumped in to their intended method, fully confident in the execution and they definitely delivered. These …
