The one star is due to the most current experience I had with both the customer service and quality/price of the food. I never seen the freestanding store and was incredibly excited to try it. I've eaten scones and a couple of other pastries from elegant elephant that I bought at Kiva or the Saturday market. While not fantastic, being gluten-free I don't have many options. I was excited to try out the store hoping that there was going to be more options and a better experience. I happen to walk by and go in the store at 6:20 and saw that they close at 6:30. I popped my head,was super apologetic to the guy, -and just asked if I could grab something really quick. He mumbled "oh we don't close for another 10 minutes" but had the most unwelcoming face I've ever seen. His poor customer service continued as he looked down actually waiting for me to leave. I finally settled on a cupcake and he rang me up. He then asked my partner if he wanted anything to eat and I made a light joke about how my partner can have gluten, not me and he just glared at me. I hastily grabbed my cupcake and left. As for the cupcake itself, I was also so disappointed. I had asked the guy what flavor the cupcake was me and he told me chocolate. Upon taking a bite, I realized it was full of cinnamon. A Mexican chocolate cupcake is incredibly different flavor than a regular chocolate cupcake and the man at the counter failed to tell me that. I tried to eat the rest of my almost 3 dollar cupcake but couldn't finish because of the overwhelming amount of cinnamon in it. Overall I'm incredibly disappointed in my experience, in both the product and the customer service. I'm sorry but you lost a customer Elegant Elephant. read more

Wonderful gluten free bakery. Their pies are excellent and their quiche was a wonderful taste treat.

LIFE SAVERS!!! This place has seriously saved my life. Being gluten free and going to bakeries is nearly pointless but with Elegant Elephant, I can go care free. Thank you! I love the everything bagel, brownies and the cinnamon rolls are amazing!!! The apple cider donuts have an incredible frosting-TO DIE FOR- Also, gluten free ice cream cones! Now that Vanilla Jill's is closed, don't worry you can go here, same company I believe, and they have vanilla jill's ice cream and gluten free cones. read more

Best gluten free bread and pastries that you will find. Their products are also available at Market of Choice and Capella grocery. They offer gluten free products at the Vanilla Jill's in the Whitaker too! read more

I hate gluten free foods. I've tried to go gluten free and I was never able to find good tasting replacements. This place is a game changer. You don't feel like you are missing out! read more

Elegant Elephant is completely gluten-free which is amazing for though of us with actual allergies! Their basic recipes (scones, cookies and brownies) are simple and amazing and seem to have started popping up in coffee shops and stores all over town, but their secret amazingness is in the "bakery boxes". They create bakery boxes that are a unique medley of savory and sweet gluten-free items, and you get one box a week. They contain anything from raw truffles to pretzels to allergen-free carrot bread. You can also custom order; they can do soy-free, corn-free, nut-free, dairy-free and even xanthan gum-free and sugar-free....simply impossible to find anywhere else. The owner is the sweetest and I cannot recommend them enough; I'd hire Elegant Elephant to cater any event or special occasion. read more

Best Banana Bread in the world!!! I so have missed that special loaf my mom used to make, and this is it--except it's also gluten free! How is that even possible?? I love it! I have purchased scones, apple pie, cream puffs, cookies. They are all very good. If I had one critique, it would be that some items are a smidge dry and many of the baked goods have a little too much sugar. I prefer a strong punch of flavor and just enough sweetness to balance the treats out. This is just a little too much sweetness for me. But, given the high quality ingredients and the gluten free and vegan offerings, I will continue to be back again and again :). Thanks for everything you're doing!! read more

Delicious! Few places have so many dietary options. So if your dairy free gluten free sugar free or all of the above they have something for you. Also you can get Vanilla Jill's ice cream the best locally made ice cream in town. read more

I'll be honest, I was a little skeptical at first, but once I tried many of their offerings, I was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied. Sometimes when you get items that are made to substitute, you can totally tell that it's the "red-headed step child" but the Elegant Elephant Baking Company items are the real deal. You can't tell the difference. So yummy! read more

I called in need of a last minute birthday cake (without even knowing they were a gluten free bakery) and they whipped up a beautiful and delicious cake within a day! So delicious and amazing read more

It's nice to finally find a bakery that has come up with delicious, gluten-free products. The breads toast well without crumbling. They also have many gluten and dairy-free products, several that are not heavily sweetened-all meeting my needs. The bonus-they're super friendly and have often have discounted products. read more

Cream puffs!!! Do I really need to say more? Okay...true sourdough, chai and cardamom infused baked goods, and other specialty gluten free desserts you can't find at any of the other pastry shops! It is a must stop for a treat yourself moment when you are in the neighborhood...but also worth the trip, especially if they have the puffs! read more

I'm not gluten free, but these folks make the best scones in town. They take orders too- think GF biscuits for the holidays- and have a fresh selection of multiple breads each day. I am so happy to know that there is a local company who is slaying the creation of gluten free baked goods, especially because that means I don't have to continue trying to figure out how to create delicious offerings for friends, guests, and relatives who are gluten intolerant. read more

This place is amazing!!! They have the best staff and the best products! There is always great service and wonderful options available for vegan and dairy free people. The best gluten free options available! read more

DO NOT DESPAIR, YOU GLUTEN-FREE EATERS! You can have REAL bread, REAL pastries, REAL cakes and CHEESE DINNER ROLLS -- I never thought I would have such a thing again in my life. Do you know how many years it had been since I tried a DANISH? read more

I've had to be gluten free for 15 years. The pastries are the best gluten free items that I have found. I really appreciate getting a box each week of different items. I highly recommend Elegant Elephant for anyone who wants truly gluten free pastry. I've given some of the deserts to people who are not gluten free (and I didn't tell them at first) and they talked about how delicious the food was. So I know it wasn't just me not remembering what gluten tastes like. read more

Cant say enough about this place and Jessie the head honcho. Food is delicious (lunch panini, breads, and sweets) and everything is GF. We recently had a birthday special order and the whole process was a breeze. If you have a GF in your life, i recommend the chocolate cupcakes, they were AMAZING. read more

I love this company! It is so nice to be able to have a gluten-like treat without the gluten! The bagels and Danishes are amazing! I really enjoy talking to the owners. They are both super sweet and very talented! Pretty much everything I've had there is spectacular! The croissants are the closest to croissants I've had. read more

I bought a cinnamon roll from the market and it was pretty good. I also picked up a loaf of banana bread from Market of Choice and it was tasty as well. Their products tend to be on the heavier side(ie not light and fluffy) but the taste is on point and I'm happy they use ingredients my husband can eat. read more

The most amazingly delicious cinnamon rolls we've ever tried!! And the sourdough baguette was wonderful...it has been 3 years since I've had a real baguette! My daughter has celiac disease & finding GF treats (that are truly GF) is a daunting task...we are so grateful for Elegant Elephant!!! Plus, they are really kind people who will work with you if you have special treats you'd like to order :-) read more

Always impressed with their gluten free goodies. Customer service is so so depending on the day, so this 5 star review is for the food only!

This is the best gluten free food that I have ever tried! You can tell she uses really good ingredients and makes it with pure love. I am addicted for life!!! Thank you read more

Ummmmm very disappointed. Little selection. Friend and I got two pastries ( little to Choose from) we didn't finish eating them. Not sure if we came on a bad day? Much improvement needed. I wish them success read more

So Delicious!!! This bakery is the best GF Vegan place I've had. I bought the cinnamon rolls and donuts and they were amazing. The taste and texture were perfect. I love that they use quality ingredients and it's not overly sweet. read more

Best gluten free bakery in town! I love their gluten free baguettes! Seriously cannot get enough...

Elegant Elephant Baking Company is fantastic! We look forward to our bakery box delivered to our home twice a month. Each time we are delighted to see (and taste!) the incredible selections! There is always a combination of sweet and savory items. I am amazed at the variety of baked goods--we have been getting the deliveries for seven months and there is something new and wonderful every time! Some of my favorites (so far!) are: Chevre' Grape Sweet Potato Samosa, Strawberry Shortcake, Cheddar Corn Muffins, Beet Hazelnut Chevre' Handpie, and Brownie Bottom Raspberry Cheesecake. Yum! It is hard to believe they are gluten-free! Jessie, the delightful owner, quickly replies to any questions or requests. She is open to suggestions and more than willing to share her baking secrets. We wholeheartedly recommend Elegant Elephant! read more

They don't have a storefront, but when I called to see how I could get some gluten free stuff, Julie told me she'd be at the Farmer's Market on Tuesday. I got there early to get the good stuff and loaded up on bagels, some kind of apple muffin, blueberry scones, banana donuts, and some bread. This lady is an angel. The bagles were the best bagels I've ever had, gluten free or not. They had the perfect consistency, the perfect sour flavor, the perfect texture, everything. The scones were absolutely perfect with giant blueberries in them and just the right amount of icing on top. The muffins had perfectly spiced and cooked chunks of apple in them and the consistency was more like a cake than anything else. It wasn't a cupcake, though, just the worlds best muffin. We ate everything the first day except the loaf of bread. It was that good. I've been gluten free for over 8 years now and this is as good as it gets. I've never experienced anything like this. You might have to wait to get what you want or order in advance, but trust me, this is well worth it. I'm going to have to control myself and not order boatloads of goodies again, but I couldn't think of a better way to treat myself than with these incredible pastries and breads. read more

As a person with Celiac, It's such a treat to be able to eat everything Elegant Elephant makes without worrying about being glutened. Everything they offer is so delicious, I highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I got married a month ago and was searching for a gluten free cake option for about 10 of my wedding guests. I like to accommodate everyone! Got to pick pretty much any flavor we wanted. They were very accommodating, had great communication, delivered the cupcakes on time, and my guests loved them! Thanks so much for being part of our big day! read more

Their products are fabulous! We do not have to eat gluten free but have many friends and relatives that do. After buying the product for them and enjoying them so much ourselves, we buy the products for ourselves. They are delicious! read more

Jessie helped my daughter celebrate her 5th birthday by making "Frozen" themed "Elsa" cupcakes. Through out the entire process, Jessie was amazing to work with. The cupcakes, cookies and brownies were a hit with the kids and adults! I needed to get the carb count on the goodies and she even let me come into her kitchen and calculate all the ratio's!! Hands down the best bakery in both taste and customer service!!! read more
