Just LOVED this cozy spot and felt instantly at home. You can easily see that Kate (the owner) cares about her customers. As I waited in line, I watched her greet most customers by name. Nice personal touch! I've honestly never been a fan of gluten-free food, but this place totally changed my mind. My bagel sandwich was delish!! The bagel was surprisingly soft and had a great texture, and the combo of ingredients was very tasty. I also enjoyed the bakery items I tried, but especially the earl grey macaron. The earl grey flavor was strong but not overpowering. Yumm! (Thanks, Kate!) Can't wait to come back and try something else!! read more

Wow! I can't believe this place has been here this whole time! My friend and I were looking for a spot that had good coffee and gluten-free options, and this was such a nice surprise. I was recently diagnosed with celiac, so when I realized everything was gluten free, I was honestly overwhelmed with excitement. I wanted to try everything. Since it was after 11, I decided on a chicken quesadilla--and wow. It was crispy, cheesy, and everything I've been missing about quesadillas. The coffee was delicious too. We split a peanut butter sandwich cookie, which was absolutely incredible. I also took a blueberry muffin to go because I knew I'd want it the next day--and I was blown away all over again when I enjoyed it with my coffee at home. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me! read more

I can't begin to share how much I love this place! Kate is the best, I love the ambiance and it is just such a cozy and safe space. The food is INCREDIBLE and I'm not someone who typically eats gf.. and I will choose this every time. Don't get me started on the coffee!!! read more

Charhause Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Bolton, Connecticut

We discovered Charhause Cookie at the Coventry Farmer's Market over the summer. We tried some macarons, but it took us several months to get out to their location! The cafe is super cozy and warm. The staff is very friendly. We tried the cinnamon bun and the peppermint brownie. Previously we had tried an assortment of macarons. The cinnamon bun was delicious both cold and warm- I heated it at home. My husband really enjoyed the peppermint brownie. The macarons are full of flavor, but the cookies are a bit off for macarons? A little soft. They have a lot of interesting flavors to try. Of course, everything is gluten free! A great place to stop in to for a treat! read more

Tried again, still needs polish. There's been a lot of positive reviews on this place as of late, so I decided to try them again. The breakfast sandwich this time around was much better. Egg was cooked well, aoli had a nice zip to it, bacon could have been crispier, but it was cooked. The macaroons I got today had the same troubles as before. Very thick shells, slightly stale and not as smooth. I suspect the problem I continue to run into is that they make their macaroons once or twice a week, and Sunday is the last day before they replace. Those who get them fresh get good macaroons, while I'm getting them at the tail end of their life. Their price is better, but they are also pricy for the quality I got. The flavors are good, but the execution is still off. I see promise, but every time I try I get lackluster goods. If you can get them fresh, I hear good things about their macaroons. Avoid the Sunday macs, and the breakfast sandwiches are pretty good read more

Talk about my favorite local haunt! One thing my corner of CT has lacked is cozy little cafes that you can go, grab a drink, grab a snack, and work the day away! This cafe checks ALL those boxes. Their iced lattes are perfection (and they offer seasonal drinks which I'm a sucker for). Everything is gluten free and I mean EVERYTHING! As someone with a gluten sensitivity it brings me such peace of mind that I can pick anything on the menu and not feel horrible later. The breakfast sandwiches are perfection and a must get (get the potatoes too, you won't regret it). The Macs are perfection but I'm a real sucker for the salted chocolate chip cookie. Even thinking about it makes me drool. I absolutely adore this place and everyone that works there. Every single person I've interacted with has been a sweetheart. HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

I met up with a friend at Charhause this week. The cafe is cute and inviting with a lot of seating options. I ordered the quesadilla and my friend ordered an egg sandwich. We both liked our selections. We grabbed a cinnamon roll and carrot cake roll for dessert. I'm not a huge fan of gluten free baked goods. These were better than most I've tried. I had an iced chai & a vanilla latte both were delicious. We both agreed Charhause Cookie would be a repeat meetup spot for us. Stopped by a 2nd time, and enjoyed everything again! read more

What a great place! It's so cute and comfy inside. All staff so friendly. Food and coffee 10 out 10. Don't be afraid because it's gluten free. You won't know a difference. I had a cinnamon bun and a teddy graham latte. Both were great. Can't wait to go back! read more

Charhause Cookie - Teddy graham latte - Bakeries Near Me - Bolton, Connecticut

I found this new place on Instagram and immediately sent it to my friend with Celiacs, as it noted it was a fully gluten free cafe. We stopped in on a Sunday morning to check it out and were very impressed. The little cafe is decorated so cute. Very girly, lots of purple, lots of macrons. Tables to sit at with your laptop, and a couple big leather chairs near a plug in fireplace for some cozy warmth. Every single item they offer is gluten free which is so refreshing for folks who are used to having so limited options. As a gluten eater myself, I know the g-free options aren't always as tasty, but I was really really impressed! I ordered the Big Deborah Christmas Tree Parfait, a take on Little Debbie Christmas Trees and had I not known it was gluten free, I TRULY would have had no idea. It really did taste extremely close to a Little Debbie cake and was very reasonably priced. My friend had a breakfast sandwich and home fries, along with a cinnamon roll. I tried her home fries and they were very good (I should have ordered myself a side!) and she spoke highly of the breakfast sandwich. I also tried her cinnamon bun and it was very good too. Again, I wouldn't have known it didn't have gluten. They also sell cookies, macarons, some salads and small lunches, as well as a couple local artisan wares for purchase. There are even some books for kids to look at while you dine in. Service was delightful. The staff seemed to know quite a few regulars who came in and the owner, Kate, stopped over at our table to say hello. She too has Celiacs and wanted to create a space that was safe for fellow Celiac folks to eat. (The shop is named after Charlotte, her daughter, in case you are wondering.) Dining tables are low tops, all with sturdy chairs that have no arms. Some tables are a tight squeeze between tables, if the place was at capacity, but I think you could push a table over for a little more room. Absolutely delightful. Great ambiance. Well priced. Truly delicious. We will absolutely return to hang out and do some work and have some good snacks. read more

I stopped in for a bite today and was overwhelmed by possibly the best service I've ever received. So friendly and welcoming. I ordered an iced tea, quesadillas and a raspberry, pistachio shortbread. While I waited I talked with the owner about her staff, neat items they sell in the restaurant and her background. I honestly could have spent the afternoon in there with her and her entire staff. What they don't know is that I've had a very difficult week and felt like I was never cheering up again and I left there feeling fantastic. Then.... I ate my quesadilla and almost drove back to hug her. I'm always scared gluten free is going to be sub par but I would put this quesadilla up against any regular one and have it come out on top 9 out of 10 times. I haven't even tried the shortbread cookie yet and already had to yelp them. I'm so excited to go back and try more things and sooooo excited I happened upon this place. Ps. They sell plants, coffee, iced teas and a slew of other really cool things that made them even cooler. Are there more than five stars?? read more

Dude. Whether you're gluten free or not this micro bakery is dope. Their sandwiches are made with love and their home fries don't suck! Their macaroons are next level and I've had them in France before and these were better so let that speak for what it is! So glad we've got this here for us with celiacs and others gluten intolerances! We want sweets too! This place is my new fave place for a sweet treat, and breakfast. I haven't had their coffee yet so maybe I'll come back for another review in a few months. read more

I have been here several times - thought I'd give them a chance. The grilled cheese was good. The coffee is a bit expensive for what you get - and charging extra for milk (50 cents) on a 5.50 small latte is a bit out of control to me. If they care about the customer - then price at a reasonable rate. We all know things have gone up, but a 30 cent coffee is not 6 dollars. read more

This new gluten free bakery in Bolton is awesome. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee is delicious and locally sourced from Silk City coffee roasters. The Mac's are delicious and I can't wait to try their lunch menu coming soon! read more

I love it here! I'm definitely a regular (going once to twice a week) :) I was so excited to hear about a gluten free place since recently removing gluten from my diet. I love everything here from the coffees, to the baked goods, to the sandwiches! The atmosphere is amazing, very modern and vibe-y. The reward system is great and you get tons of money back. The staff is so personable and friendly! Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

We love Charhause. Often I stay away from "gluten-free" because I do not have a dietary restriction and typically the stuff with gluten tastes better. You would never know that any of the baked goods were gluten free and they are all absolutely delicious. This is the most perfect cozy coffee shop with something for everyone. read more

Probably the best gluten free rolls and bagels we've ever had. The whole family found the food to be delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. While we waited for the food our kids were able to read the books and color using the supplies they provided. Everyone had a great experience. read more
