Some restaurants become annual traditions. Guncles Gluten Free has become one of ours. For the past three years, our summer work conferences have brought us to Mobile, and every year we make sure Guncles is one of our final stops before heading back to Birmingham. At this point, it wouldn't feel like a Mobile trip without it. This visit was just as good as the previous ones. My wife and I shared one of their warm cinnamon rolls, and it continues to be one of the best things they make. It's served warm with a rich cream cheese icing that melts into every bite. Soft, flavorful, and indulgent without being overly sweet, it's become our tradition to split one before the drive home. We also picked up a few Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, which remain another favorite. The cake is incredibly moist, the cream filling is rich without being heavy, and it's hard to believe they're gluten free. Another item we always look forward to is their Oatmeal Cream Whoopie Pie. Unfortunately, they were sold out during this visit, but based on previous trips, it's one of our favorites and well worth trying if it's available. One of the things that impresses me most about Guncles is that the food doesn't feel like it's trying to compensate for being gluten free. The baked goods simply taste like excellent baked goods, period. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and consistently provides excellent service, making each visit enjoyable from start to finish. Favorites * Warm Cinnamon Roll * Red Velvet Whoopie Pie * Oatmeal Cream Whoopie Pie Three years, three visits, and the experience has been consistently outstanding. Guncles has become one of our favorite Mobile traditions, and it's one of the first places we'll recommend to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're gluten free or not, this bakery proves that great baking speaks for itself. read more

Being gluten free in the south is so difficult, so I was so pleased to stumble upon Guncles! Stopped in on a Saturday morning and they had everything neatly arranged, clean inside, friendly staff, plenty of parking. We got the cinnamon roll, cheddar biscuits, chocolate Bundt cake, and oatmeal cream pies. Everything was delicious! The size of the cinnamon roll could've been bigger but I don't think you could tell the difference from a normal cinnamon roll. It was all fresh and decadent. 10/10 if you're gluten free! read more

Whilst getting eyeglasses in Mobile, my friend found a gluten free bakery where we could get pastries and tea. He knows how difficult it is for me being intolerant to gluten. We arrived at Guncles and were greeted by lovely Tamica, and so many choices of goodies. This might sound strange, but I'm a highly sensitive person and I pick up on the overall feel of an environment. This lovely establishment has " great feels" I felt so happy to be there it was welcoming. It was an hour before closing Tamica said some of the most popular things, such as cinnamon rolls sell out fast. Next time I will arrive early. Because I bake GF at home I understand the cost of high quality non gmo, organic, GF ingredients, and I was pleasantly surprised that they are able to offer such high quality GF pastries at about the same price I would see in a regular bakery. When I tasted the how fantastic, delicious and moist, and how they nailed the textures I was delighted!! Ten out of ten. I'm not easy to impress and yet, I am very impressed. It's certainly worth the drive over the bridge for me. Everything was ready to take away in cute little cellophane bags. They have chairs and tables so it's possible to eat inside or outside, but we grabbed ours to go. I also had a nice Lavender Earl Grey tea. My friend had the delicious carrot cake and I had a little lemon and raspberry loaf that was scrumptious. I would have purchased some loaves of bread to take home, but they were already sold out. This is a small family business built because a family member had a health issue. Guncles has been recognized and earned awards as a top bakery and the pastries are so superior you wouldn't even know they are gluten free. I can't wait to go back, I absolutely adore Guncles! read more

Super friendly and helpful staff. Recently diagnosed with Celiac and was really missing breads. Went for breakfast and tried the herb cheddar biscuits and cinnamon rolls. Both were delicious! There is even a bar top area to eat in. Lots of options. Will definitely be back... and will get the frozen biscuits to make at home! read more

I just finished a 10 day tour of the US South and made sure to stop by this gluten-free bakery while staying in Mobile, Alabama. This is everything that I bought at Guncles gluten-free bakery in Mobile, Alabama this past Saturday! I purchased: 1 cinnamon roll. $5.98 2 pack of oatmeal creme pies. $13.98 1 Raspberry lemon friand. $7.98 3 pack of cheddar herb biscuits $8.98 Mobile, Alabama sales tax is 10% which added another $3.69 to our bill for a total of $40.61 I've been to 33 US states and this is in my top 2 favorites for gluten-free bakeries. Yes, it is spendy so it is a treat, but these were INDISTINGUISHABLE from gluten products. It was shocking how the texture was so on point. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and I remember how "regular" food tastes and this tastes like the real thing. If I could only get one item, I'd get the cheddar herb biscuits. They were incredible. I had my non-celiac husband try everything and he said it tasted like the real thing. A male staff member walked us through the options and suggested a mini cake. We had to pass because we were not going to be anywhere with a refrigerator for the rest of the day. We got these items to-go because we had to be in Mississippi before lunch time. There is a small area for sitting inside but if you have a party of more than 2, you will need to take over the outside picnic tables. Visited May 2024 read more

Okay - let me say this right out of the gate - the service at this place is PHENOMENAL. Jacob was our server and gave us a complete "tour" of the delicious items on offer for the day. He was awesome. Needless to say, we wanted one of everything and couldn't do it, but settled on the signature cinnamon roll, the cheddar biscuits, the banana bread and the chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and peppermint. HOLY CRAP this place is good. If you haven't been here - RUN, don't walk and if you're Celiac and looking for a bit of heaven on earth - these people get it right. Also - this place is one of the "10 Best" Gluten Free bakeries in the U.S. according to USA Today! read more

I love Guncles so much that we arranged our travel schedule to be able to come here on our drive back from Pensacola! So often, gluten free foods just taste slightly off. Not at Guncles. Their baguettes rock every fiber of my being! This time, we got some take home cinnamon rolls. MMM MMM MMM!!! Absolutely delicious. Further, the owners are awesome: so kind and personable. Also, this visit, I met some employees who I didn't meet when I came a couple years ago, and they are super awesome, too! If you are within an hour of the Mobile area, I am so serious that you need to add this to a top place to visit. I am so grateful for their delicious baked goods for not only the gluten free community, but beyond. This place is amazing. read more

This is a deeply troubling review to have to give. I have loved this place since January of 2020. Everything was the best. Friday, (3/6/26) I stopped in Mobile and got my usual cookies chocolate chip and ginger snaps. They were not very good. The price seems to have almost doubled. And the actual cookies appear to be smaller. They were out of oatmeal cookies so i bought some at Page and Pallet in Fairhope later that afternoon. The oatmeal are my fav and used to be the best I've ever had. Not anymore and the coffee shop marks up the price for the smaller size oatmeal cookies that are not that good anymore. In total I spent almost $50 for four packs of cookies. The cookies that I bought are falling apart when you touch them. You can't even taste the toffee in the oatmeal anymore and I ended up throwing them away tonight. Very disappointing. It's been about a year since I've bought their cookies and other treats - what happened! read more

My daughter found this place by using her find me gluten free app. All the reviews said that it's a must stop business with a variety of gluten-free options to go. what a wonderful small and local business that offers such a huge variety of baked goods that are all gluten-free. The customer service was top notch. The employee helped us by showing us what their best sellers were and gave us her recommendations. My daughter decided to get some cookies and cupcakes. She said everything was delicious and tested fresh. We will definitely have to come back when we're in the area again to try the biscuits and other options. read more

Guncles is a fantastic place for gluten free folks to enjoy a sweet treat. They have cookies - toffee chocolate chip is my favorite, sweet rolls hot out of the oven, and single serve cakes - try the sliced fig! Go visit them or order online. They ship! Super friendly staff too! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I haven't had the pleasure of visiting your bakery. However, a dear friend visiting Mobile from Las Vegas found your chocolate chip cookies so irresistible she had to bring us back a few. Whoa Guncles, you nailed this timeless treat. Your chocolate chip cookies are decadent, thick, slightly crisp around the edges with a perfect fudgy, gooey center.... An absolute chocolate lovers dream come true!!! Thank You Linda and thank you Guncles read more

Get you a Guncle! Stopped in for gluten-free goodies and got some amazing treats. Cinnamon roll, red velvet whoopie pies and buttermilk biscuits were all scrumptious. This is not one of those places that tries to make you feel better if you can't have gluten. This is a real deal bakery and being a gluten-free facility is an added bonus. Can't wait to come back and try some cake! read more

Amazing baked goods, and not just "good for gluten free." Listen. Anyone who has eaten gluten free food knows that people try but it is not always stellar. That is not the case at this incredible bakery! I happened on it while visiting the mobile area and searching for GF places to eat. I went Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and completely plan on going back once more before I leave town to stock up on some of the frozen items and probably will get some fresh things too! People who eat Gluten and gluten free will both enjoy these incredible goodies! I will be back anytime I am close to the Mobile area! They have safe Covid protocol if that is something you are worried about where they meet you outside with a cart with today's offerings and you pick what you want and pay there. read more

Gotta' give it up to the Guncles! If you'd have told me a while ago that I'd be chasing down ANYTHING that's gluten free, I'd have laughed in your face! Thankfully, I don't have Celiac Disease, or any allergy/sensitivity to gluten. But here I am, a fan and Guncles cheerleader! Their cakes are delish and don't taste like cardboard! Honestly, I'd imagined in my head how they'd taste. I've tried those "substitute the sugar for applesauce desserts" and, yes, I can tell and I LOATHE them. (I digress.) I think I bought the last of their raspberry-lemon and chocolate cakes at a Market at the Pillars event (and almost had to go toe-to-toe with another buyer for it). I enjoyed the lemon raspberry, and took the chocolate cake home for the hubs to try. He's our resident chocolate lover and approved also. I even withheld the gluten free info for a fair assessment. Their cakes are divine and free of gluten! Now, if you could rid them of the calories, you'd change the world! read more

Super delicious! Far better than any other gluten free foods I have tried. I just wish they had an indoor area at their Government St location. The benches out front just don't work out when my wife and I need a cool place to relax and enjoy a coffee along with one of their fine treats. read more

This place is SO SO good!! They brought out a cart of all the cakes and cookies they had available for the day which was quite a few options!! I tried the carrot cake and oatmeal raisin cookies and they were so delicious!! The treats are quite expensive but the food was great quality so I would say it's worth it!! read more

I had to pull my car over after my first bite of their Blueberry-Lemon Friand. So many emotions washed over me as the lemon popped and the sweetness of the blueberries hit me. And the texture of this single treat was transforming. I had to snap out of my daze to realize that what I had just taken a bite of was gluten free and it felt impossible. It was TOO good if you know what I mean. Like did I accidentally misread the sign? Is this really GF?? I felt like I was dreaming and if the first 6 months of being Gluten Free was going to lead me to discover an amazing bakery like Guncles, then sign me up for life. (thx celiac) This trip from Orange Beach was well deserved. To meet with the bakers and understand their passion. What I missed is that this is no ordinary GF bakery. This is confection perfection! Over my next few weeks, I will be diving into my stash of Guncles breads, cookies and cakes. So far, each has been a mind blowing, taste bud adventure. I cry at every bite. I grin ear to ear at every bite. I am so amazed and so grateful to have been able to shop here and enjoy everything they offer. read more

I come home and my foodie little sister and my chef little cousin tell me about this Gluten Free place called Guncles Gluten Free. Not having a medical condition requiring such a diet, I said I'll take a hard pass. But they assured me that the food was good and their coffee was even better. My little sister led me there on rainy day (surprise I know) in the Port City. We walk in and are warmly greeted by a lovely young lady just who you would expect to meet in a Southern Coffee Shop. Being one of my sisters' haunts she dove right in a ordered a cup of her favorite brew. One unique thing about Guncles is their coffee is brewed in small batches Pour-Over style. I wanted a coffee with a little more kick so I opted for a Nicaraguan Light Roast that was delicious. Smooth, Sweet (even before I added the plant based zero calorie sweetener) with a great aroma. Drank the coffee black and there are very few coffees I can drink black. My sister being the Charming Southern Bell that she is wrangled use samples of the sweets made in house. They were Devine! They caused my sister to break out in song, I think she was too cold to start dancing! Yes, she does that when eating really, really good food! Because I was in town during the holidays and because my time was short I didn't get to make a second visit. You must give this little gem a try, you just won't be disappointed! The staff and owners are wonderful! They treat you like family because they are family. Rest assured when I return to Mob City, I will definitely visit Guncle's Gluten Free. read more

Ok I'm pretty sure the team at Guncles are a bunch of wizards. I've had gluten free treats and usually find them quite sandy/gritty. But Guncles seems to have stumbled upon a perfect ratio that gives their cookies and little cakes a perfect mouthfeel that allows you to feel like you are just 100% indulging. I had some toffee brown butter chocolate chip cookies and the owner informed me that they even make the toffee for the cookies in-house. They were unreal amazing. Then the manager told me the strawberry cake was actually ***balsamic*** strawberry cake. So Guncles is not just making GF treats and calling it a day. They're also pushing flavor boundaries of confections in general. Especially in Mobile. Like this is some sophisticated stuff... And to make everything even better, it's a locally owned/family owned operation. Sold. SOLD. Go there now. Tell Tamica I said hey read more

This place is absolutely amazing. Definitely some of the best pastries I've ever had. The oatmeal crème pies were probably the best I've ever had. It's also the only gluten free cinnamon roll I've ever had. It is also probably the best cinnamon roll that I've ever had. They cater to pretty much any food allergy you could imagine, but even if you don't have food allergies it's some of the best pastries you could probably get. read more

My husband and I were visiting friends in Mobile when they told us about Guncles. My husband is gluten free so we needed to try this place. All I have to say is WOW. First, the food - incredible. Get the biscuits (but really get one of everything). Second, Demetrius and John Edward are amazing - such good people, and amazing cooks. We can't wait to visit again!! read more

Best gluten free bakery!! Often times gluten free breads and baked goods just don't taste the same as their gluten containing counterparts, but not at Guncles! I wish I lived closer but will always be a must stop when I'm in the area! read more

I love this place. They are so friendly and helpful. They even did a rush birthday surprise when a friend decided to throw his own party and I needed cake in a flash. The food is amazing. Try those herb biscuits! read more

10 stars out of 5!!! Their cakes are the best in the world! I ordered our wedding cakes from here and they were divine!

I have been a Gluten sensitive diner for eleven years and travel extensively for my job and leisure. As a consequence I have eaten in hundreds of gluten friendly eateries and have had many an admirable dish. I must however acknowledge that your chocolate ganache is the best baked dessert I have ever consumed! I only wish you were located in Atlanta (I.e., I reside in the area) as it would afford me easy access to your wares I purchased the ganache in Mobile at the FOY smoothie cafe; another outstanding food emporium for the health conscious diner. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! Let's start with the personality of the owners and workers! They are absolutely fantastic and just sweethearts! EVERYONE IN THIS SHOP HAS SUCH A WONDERFUL DEMEANOR AND KIND SPIRIT!! Then the pastries! Good Lord they are delicious! Yet you don't feel the guilt because it's gluten free and organic ingredients!! You must stop by! They make you feel so warm and welcome! And they give samples! The chocolate chip toffee cookies are so delicious I literally broke into the "Who-ville Christmas Carol"! LOL!! And the cranberry pumpkin bread is to absolutely DIE for!! The coffee is fresh and they do a "Pour Over" coffee that you'll love! read more

The very best cinnamon rolls our family of 4 has ever tasted, gluten free or otherwise. So delicious we went back for a 2nd day in a row, abandoning our other plans. They were sold out of fresh ones due to our late morning arrival, so go early to ensure you get warm ones! We did bring back some frozen, "deconstructed" ones to bake ourselves. Otherwise we tried almost everything on the menu since we were so excited to find a dedicated GF bakery. Our 2nd favorite was the Cheddar Herb biscuits! Wonderful service and lots of information with a smile from one of the owners too. We will be back on every future visit to Mobile! read more

Hey Queen! Girl, You have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all, and doing it flawlessly. I'd say I'm surprised but I know who you are. I've seen it up close and personal. Girl, you make me so proud, and I love you. This was honestly so good, two of us that went have celiac and we were so excited to try this as we were passing by Mobile & Guncles did NOT disappoint. Tamica came out and took our order and she was so friendly and made our experience so much better and informed us of all the options and even told us about shipping options Guncles has!! We bought like $100+ worth of gf treats to bring home with us but we ate the cinnamon roll, chocolate ganache bunt cake, and lemon Bundt cake in the car and I could cry it was so good. Even our friend who doesn't eat gf said that Guncles was better than most other cakes she's had! We are still talking about it right now in the car lol, definitely will be coming back or ordering off their website!!! read more

Pure Magic. From how kind, educated and precious the owners and staff are to how phenomenal there products are. I am just sad we don't have more locations, I hope they expand their reach. This place is a absolute jewel. Literally more magical than disney world. So hospitable and have tons of GF suggestions of where to eat. Will drive 3 hours one way to just come back and have another GF cinnamon bun. read more

Oh my goodness! This place is sooo wonderful! When I walked in and tasted the lemon cake, I did a happy dance. I nearly cried. Seriously. I did not know I could ever have treats this amazing now that I'm medically gluten free. The chocolate chip cookies are not good for gluten free. They are just plain good! My husband who can eat anything, swooned. The buttermilk biscuits are delicious! I also got the chocolate cake and I'm serving that and the pumpkin cake to guests tomorrow. This place is the real deal! Please support it! Even if you don't have to eat gluten free, you will not find yummier bakery items anywhere. I'm in love! read more

found out about this place from looking up "gluten free near me" and man am i glad we went. I've been gluten free for about 10 years, and its very hard to find good fresh gf food/desserts with no added junks in it around here, especially a dedicated place with no cross contamination? what! this is some of the best bakery items I've ever had anywhere. and i bake a lot! definitely coming back for those amazing looking cookies & more carrot cake. highly recommend if you're in the area, gluten allergies or not. read more

We cannot say enough great things about GUNCLES! Going on vacation with food allergies means cooking most nights which is fine, but to find a place like this with so many actual gluten free goodies was like hitting the jackpot! Cinnamon rolls, friands (blueberry or raspberry), oatmeal cream pies, red velvet cream pies, and more!!! These are just some of our favorites. The staff are always wonderful, friendly, courteous, GENEROUS, and amazing! This is a MUST stop whether you're gluten free or not. Thanks for making our vacation just a little bit better with your hospitality. There is plenty of off street parking. Inside is so bright and clean. It is definitely a store, but feels like home. We cannot wait until next year! read more

I have Celiac so this place has made me so happy! I've tried most of their items and my favorite is the oatmeal cream pie. For Mardi Gras I got the Kings Cake and many people who celebrated with me preferred it over the kings cake with gluten! I definitely recommend getting a full size cake from Guncles. The people here are extremely kind and friendly, and they serve great coffee with their treats. It's a nice place to study inside or outside because it's pretty quiet. read more

Delicious treats, friendly people. We have not tried anything that was not completely delightful.
