    A gluten-free bakery located on Perry Highway, near Wexford.  They feature delicious coffee drinks, amazing gluten- free baked goods as well as vegan and dairy free options, and fun vintage items.  I am not gluten-free but wanted to check them out and WOW- everything I tried was amazing.  It does not even taste like gluten-free which is amazing.  The textures, flavors and diversity is really amazing.  Tried the breakfast sandwich which was a gluten free English muffin with sausage, egg and cheese.  It was really tasty! Got some cinnamon rolls and cupcakes to go! Also had a London Fog which totally hit the spot! Everything is very fairly priced.  They have a great staff and quick service which is perfect to grab and go!

    Finally stopped in here and I'm so glad I did! The staff was very friendly and there was a huge selection of baked goods and drinks. I got an English muffin and some treats to take home and everything I had was delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also loved the ambiance with the vintage decor and chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a fun and unique place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I tried a variety of gluten-free baked goods--scones, cookies, cupcakes all were delish! I especially liked the toffeedoodles that were made with home made toffee. Amazing that all food items were gluten-free. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The mid-century kitchen collectables that were for sale added to the nostalgia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The 60's vibe took me back to my younger days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I love Baked True North! We've been a customer since before they had a brick and mortar. My sister has Celiac Disease so finding somewhere safe for her to eat is always a win! We've ordered cupcakes for special occasions multiple times and they are incredible, you can't even tell that they're gluten free. The peanut butter cupcake with chocolate frosting and carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting are top notch. My sister loves the cinnamon rolls in the bakery too. The lemon bars are amazing!!! The bakery is really cute too, they even sell retro/vintage home items. Definitely would recommend Baked True North even if you're not gluten free!

    Baked True North is a bakery that opened in June 2022, and it sells *gluten-free* foods. I am not on a gluten-free diet, but I felt curious to try the foods. I sent my husband to buy some goodies for me. He said that the employee had a friendly personality and that she provided timely service. Here are my reviews for the foods: Lemon bar - 4 stars - $2.25 - The size was small/medium. The crust on the bottom was appropriately crispy. The filling was very lemony. On top was powdered sugar. Brownie - 4 stars - $3 - This brownie was extremely chocolately. The texture was more like fudge than cake. Chocolate chips were on top. Cookies - 3.5 stars - $3.85 each - My husband picked out two flavors, and he could not remember what they were called. One cookie appears to be a toffee snickerdoodle, which I rate as 4 stars. The other cookie appears to contain nuts, and I rate it as 3 stars. Muffin - 3.5 stars - $3 - This muffin had a cinnamon flavor. The center was moist, and crumbs were on top. Overall, I rate the foods at Bake True North as good. If you are on a gluten-free diet, then I encourage you to check out this business.

    I stopped by here the other day with my wife and one of our kids while we were out. We had seen Baked True North a number of times while driving past it on Perry Highway but had never had a reason to stop. On this morning though, neither my wife nor I had our coffee yet and baked goods sounded good as well. The inside of this place consists of a long counter with a display case of cookies and then cloches filled with other baked goods, all gluten free. On this morning my wife and I decided on coffees (me large, her small) and then also an olive oil and Parmesan focaccia, a pumpkin gingerbread muffin, a cinnamon roll and an almond vanilla cupcake. I first tried the coffee on the way home and thought it tasted strong but a little bitter. After some of the sweets though, it was perfect and so likely a nice choice. My wife and I first tried the focaccia and were very happy with the taste of it, especially the Parmesan. It was loaded with olive oil and you could not tell that it was gluten free at all. Up next was the pumpkin gingerbread muffin. It was a little bit of a denser muffin and I got lots of the warming spices from the gingerbread and enjoyed it, even though I don't get much pumpkin. Then last but not least for us was the almond cupcake. There was an ample amount of vanilla frosting on top which I rather enjoyed as it tasted nicely of vanilla without being overly sweet. With any of the vanilla I actually didn't get the taste of the almond at all. Thankfully my wife told me to eat the cake part separately and I did and it was delicious. So I ended up enjoying both parts of it, but the frosting definitely overshadowed the cake. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed all that we had eaten, especially that focaccia.

    Excited to try this dedicated gluten free spot

    Ventured out to this spot while on a business trip. As a celiac desserts are quite possibly the most difficult thing to normalize while preserving the taste, texture, and consistency of the "normal" versions. Of course at the end, when lacking all of that one tends to feel let down and unsatisfied. So I stopped in to see what the local hype was all about. I got the breakfast sandwich, a take on a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin breakfast sandwich. Not usually a fan of English muffins to be fair but their take on it was close as I imagine you can get. It was pretty good, not being a usual fan of the texture anyhow. Also got the glazed donuts, a lemon/raspberry cupcake and a chocolate cupcake and a couple cinnamon rolls. This is where the magic is. I was fully prepared to be letdown by the donut for the mere fact of the thickness of it. The outside looked false and sweet but this sucker was about 2" thick. That combo usually equals the consistency of eating chalk in the Florence freee world. I was SHOCKED to realize they managed to integrate the glaze throughout even the center of this monster, all the while holding together. It looks like cake but this sucker is entirely glazed, mousy and DELISH! Possibly my favorite donut ever! The cupcakes were also extremely well constructed and the frostings were sweet but not too sweet and totally escaped that weird film in your mouth you can sometimes get with frostings. The cinnamon rolls were packed with cinnamon goodness and after a quick 20 seconds in the microwave they melted in your mouth like velvety cinnamon butter but heart enough to be a meal. Run, do not walk to this establishment and be prepared to be WOWED!

Excellent Polish food on the limited menuand an excellent matching wine list, thoroughly modern. It feels sleek and casual, with a professional and knowledgeable crew. Seating is chaotic since there aren't any reservations and you sit wherever there is space. I had fried pierogis and a cold beet soup. Packed with flavor and excellent on a warm summer night. The wine went so well with the food; I think it was all Eastern European wines, since what grows together goes together.

Staff are all so nice and very helpful in explaining everything if it's your first time there. You order first, then sit at your table (you can keep an open tab to order more food or drinks when you want), and they'll give you your table number. Food comes out pretty quickly and they're attentive in removing empty plate plates just as fast. Quite tasty! As meat eaters, we really appreciated this vegan twist! The pierogi's are an excellent choice for perhaps the less adventurous- yet does not disappoint! The stuffed cabbage was really yummy! And we enjoyed our appetizer- cucumber and radish salad with rye. It made me like radishes again! Simple and fresh ingredients, make for a tasty dinner. Can't wait to come back!

I am…read morewary of labeling things as prejudice but I truly cannot think of any other reason our waiter treated us like this especially seeing how differently she interacted with other tables. We were served by a waiter named Cass. She was pretty rude while taking our orders but I thought I was just overthinking. We then waited for over 50 minutes for 2 burgers while some tables that were seated after us got their food first/at the same time as us. Our waiter was also checking up and chatting with other tables and never ONCE came to our table to check on us. By the time our burgers and fries got to us, they were COMPLETELY COLD. But at this point I was so hungry and tired of waiting I didn't even care to ask for a new one. I understand how hard service jobs are which is why I tried giving her the benefit of doubt but the situation just got progressively worse. As the check came, I saw that my waiter charged me separately for fries despite me getting the $12 short stack meal deal that comes with them included. She also charged me 50 cents for onions despite it being included in the 4 toppings. I politely pointed this out the fact I was still charged for fries, to which she says it's because I asked for "extra pickles." ???????? I was like why would that disqualify me from the deal......To which she said "Um did you not ask for extra pickles? I said that you can't have any modifications." She then proceeded to stare at me blankly for 7 seconds, which was extremely creepy and unsettling. I then asked for the manager who was nice and did help me remove the extra charge but overall this was a horrible experience. If you are a person of color I would not recommend coming here as there is a chance you will not feel welcomed. This is the first time I haven't left a tip in years.

    Located on the Border of Oakland and Shadyside. Multiple visits across the last few years. Bar on…read moreone side, dining room opposite. Gastropub feel with deeply solid kitchen. The pickled items are all done in house, and menu/kitchen are very thoughtful on how they execute. They do the pickling well, and they incorporate their ingredients into the dishes without making them feel unbalanced. Some specifics: Chicken fried pickles: Great ratio of batter to pickle. Generally, I think execution of pickled spears versus chips is fraught with peril. ButterJoint does these perfectly. These remain excellent and an unequivocal "get again" dish. Crispy chicken sandwich: chicken thighs done in one of the House brines, then battered and fried. This is a generous sandwich with two thighs. The batter is light and perfect and perfectly adherent. Kitchen cooked these pieces perfectly; no overdone portions. The tallow fries served as a side remain excellent, and the serving is very generous. "You can't eat just one." Pork belly sandwich: what a completely fun bite! Generous serving of pork belly, crispy on the outside and melting internally on a perfectly toasted roll. The condiments on this sandwich are perfect. The brunch burger is excellent. The egg is hard cooked so it doesn't come apart on the sandwich. M got the corned beef hash; the brisket on it is absolutely amazing, and there is a very nice grill on the potatoes. The poached egg on top is a complete delight. This is one of the better hashes that I have had. The falafel is fantastic. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked. The goat cheese crust with hot pepper jelly is an unexpected treat. Pickle shrimp are fun. The Mississippi comeback sauce is basically a remolade or maybe big Mac sauce. Would totally have again looking for a little cold shrimpy bite. We have never walked away disappointed by the menu or the kitchen. Good bar program, good draught list. Consistently gracious front of house team. Great for lunch or dinner, couples or families. Highly recommended.

Got to try their chicken sandwich and vinegar pie. The chicken sandwich came with a garlic sauce (toum) and fresh vegetables on their signature milk bread. Needless to say, the bun was amazing. The toum was great too, perfectly garlicky. And the chicken was delicious, with a solid portion. A bit on the expensive side though. The vinegar pie sounded super unique and intriguing so I gave that a shot. So glad I did! This is delicious. I can't even really describe it; there's a tiny note of acidity to it, but it's also super sweet. A nice little brown topping as well. It's just really good and you should try it. All in all, recommend this spot. The inside area we were sitting at was a little bleak but other than that, it is a nice place to be!
