It's nice to see a gluten free bakery. Bought a few pastries to take home. However after putting them in a box, they give you a screen with large lettering asking for 18%, 22% or 25% gratuity. Yes, in the very small print, there is a no tip option, and most people want to be generous, but is this getting out of hand? If it had been a smaller request for simply putting them in a box, I wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable. It doesn't make the experience so positive. Especially when other bakeries like Porto's don't ask for this. read more

We came on a Tuesday around 8:15a and it was empty. It really pains me to write this rough review because the interior of this business is so beautiful and aesthetic and I really wanted to love it. Also, my cousin is gluten free so I was excited to bring her here and try the pastries as we were told the entire menu is gluten free. Unfortunately, I can't get past the squirming insect (I won't say the name, because it feels accusatory, but let's just say it rhymes with tockcoach) that I spotted on the floor. We had already ordered a donut and matcha Americano otherwise I would've suggested we leave. And I know those type of insects don't imply that a place is dirty, but on top of that the drink was not my favorite. The only thing saving this business from a 1-star for me was its donuts, but for the value (size and price), I can't say I will be coming back. read more

If you're expecting a traditional donut, you won't get it here. If you want something special and decadent, then this is the place. The service was great but the tables were pretty much filled so there was no place to sit for my "here" order. It also took a while to get my drink. There were probably 3 people in front of me also waiting for their drink. read more

Yummy sandwich- crusty gluten-free bread, with turkey, bacon, cheddar, Arugula & some kind of spread that included sun-dried tomatoes. Tasty & filling. I picked up the pre-made sandwich. It tasted freshly made. Fast welcoming service. Comfortable casual ambiance. read more

Yummy coffee with cute vibes. The donuts and breakfast look delicious!! Will return to try.

Great gluten free options! My daughter loves coming here. It is very safe for her Celiac's.

What a cute little neighborhood donut shop! with that IG photo opps! I was on my long walk through the neighborhood and received a request to pick up coffee on the way back. Since I knew I would have to carry it for another two blocks to the hotel, I thought I would stop here on the way back. I went in with average expectations because it's a donut shop. What surprised me was this cute little shop and friendly staff. They were patient and helpful since I walked in and was overwhelmed by the offerings. I did not realize this was gluten free until I started reading the yelp reviews. I picked up our usual lattes and a box of the day old donuts. Service was great, staff was friendly. What appealed to me is that it attracts a lot of regulars - which is always a good thing. Definitely worth a return visit the next time I'm in the area. read more

Once upon a time, there were a couple donut shops with gluten free options. Then the pandemic killed them. In other words they brainlessly decided to stop making gluten free donuts. Then there was LeBerry, a wonderful little spot with a selection of gluten free options including incredible croissants. When I went to find them this time, their name had changed. They said, "Hello." I said, "...wait everything is gluten free?" They said, "you're welcome." And the rest is history. Try the breakfast sandwich muffin things. Incredible. read more

Came for the Rose Bowl parade. Sage and Brown Sugar Latte was amazing, but the service was even better. Gigi is amazing. She offered her own personal dog bed for a service dog, made every customer feel seen, and helped clean up spills from kids, and genuinely made us feel very welcome. When we're back in the area this will definitely be one of our first stops. read more

I was surprised that this is gluten free for all the bagged foods, savory and sweet. I stopped by during a police community event and bought 2 *small* ring donuts - churro and chocolate covered. $15. It's hard to add a tip at that price. Sorry. I was told these don't have added sugar but use a natural alternative. They weren't as sweet as you'd expect, but still good with coffee. P.s. the free coffee in the container was so weak I hope that's not the cases regular drip. read more

I first visited Hello You're Welcome when it initially opened a few years ago. Honestly, that experience was holistically really, really bad. Because of that experience, I did not return until yesterday. I was really craving something sweet and being dairy free and gluten free really limits my options, so I decided to give them another shot. Let me tell you, it was a night and day difference !!! It was truly like walking into a completely different business. Every single one of the staff members were amazing! So warm and so welcoming! We came towards the end of the day when they were celebrating their second birthday, so they didn't have the widest selection of pastries left, but the two donuts we had were absolutely delicious. We had a strawberry donut and a maple espresso donut. So flavorful and not overly sweet. We also ordered an oat milk cappuccino and their signature "No Smoking" cortado. I will say the espresso used in our drinks was not our preference. It was very tangy and acidic tasting with almost wine notes. It was really off-putting and definitely did not make the drinks enjoyable. It seems like they use an array of different beans and suppliers, so I'm not sure what they defaulted to in our drinks, but I would be good never having that espresso ever again in my life. I would definitely clarify and specify the type of espresso the next time I order coffee with them. Coffee aside, Hello You're Welcome is a really amazing shop. I am so grateful I gave them another shot. It feels like a true neighborhood third spot. Happy Birthday, Hello You're Welcome! Wishing you many more successful years ! read more

Wow! I've been meaning to try the savory options at this place and was pleasantly surprised at the great texture and flavor of the biscuits. This is their season item of the bacon, egg & cheese biscuit. Don't be fooled by how big of a portion it is because the biscuit is very light and airy with a great crumble, and the flavors and moisture from the bacon, egg and cheese compliment the whole food item as a whole. Can't wait to try their sandwiches next! read more

I was sad when I heard that LeBerry had closed but happy when I found out a new vegan donut shop had taken its place. Hello You're Welcome had its grand opening on September 16th. I have to say, the name is cute & catchy. My visit was a week later, and I arrived a few minutes after they opened so fresh, warm donuts were still being brought out from the oven. I had the opportunity to chat with Amy (head baker), who was delightful. Espen was also very sweet. What was currently was available looked pretty & tempting. I selected the AB&J, which had an almond butter & jam filling coated with an almond butter glaze and topped with a mini berry glazed donut. These are not the typical yeast donuts. They are more like a Bundt cake but not as dense. The AB&J was moist and flavorful. The almond butter wasn't overpowering, and the jam added the right amount of sweetness. They also serve specialty coffee drinks made with Roast House Coffee, in addition to tea & cold brew nitro. Vegan, high protein, gluten free, sugar free, keto & paleo friendly donuts are also available. These delightful treats are not cheap. They run about $6 each but are worth every penny. read more

Lately I've been around town and checking out different coffee shops. So far I have to say the ambience is one of the better shops around. Decor just give you a very relax feeling . No deafening music or real tight space. Donuts are a bit pricey but definitely a nice place to hang out have a sweet treat. Donuts are vegan if that matters. Textures are chewy kind not the soft dough. Ube coconut was much sweeter than the S'mores if that is possible. They also have suggestion pairings for their treats. Savory food is offered as well. read more

Awesome spot. Super friendly staff. The iced latte and keto donuts are really delicious!

I've been wanting to stop by this new cafe since they were featured on Eater LA, mostly to try out their keto donuts. To my surprise when I went, they didn't have just 1 flavor, but 4 flavors of Keto Donuts! This cafe has many other varieties of donuts including gluten free options. Also, I found out they have breakfast foods: Frittatas, egg sandwiches, etc. I ordered a Frittata and they heated it up in the oven. The Frittata turned out to be really flavorful. The vegetables and herbs paired well with the fluffy egg and creamy cheese mix. We also got a single origin coffee and 2 donuts, a maple keto donut and a regular pumpkin vanilla one. Forgot about parking: there's street parking, but I parked at the Paeso garage nearby and got my ticket validated at a Starbucks. Street parking is sometimes hard to find. Overall, this cafe is welcoming to everyone and has a variety of tasty desserts and breakfast foods. Highly recommend checking it out, I plan to stop by often after my first experience! read more

Very well made delicious creations of art. The recipes are thoughtful and hit the spot. New favorites include cherry cheesecake and chocolate covered vanilla filled pastry (wow!!). The owner is super sweet as well as the staff. The lattes are well done too. IMO, better than the other vegan bakeries in Pasadena. read more

The most beautiful donuts and they are gluten free! I understand that they have an amazing breakfast sandwich also. Will definitely be back to try it. read more

Super nice staff, very informative and welcoming. The Tiki latte was so good! Never would I have ever thought that a hint of pineapple would go well with my coffee. The store's decor is so cute, unique, quirky. I really enjoyed the ambiance. I'll be back soon! read more

Came here on a Sunday around noon to grab a donut for my niece. She's allergic to eggs, so I was glad to find a shop serving vegan donuts. In terms of parking, I was able to snag a spot on the street - I don't believe they have a lot or anything, so street parking is likely your best bet. When I arrived, the shop wasn't busy at all and I was greeted by the worker. I shared my niece's allergies and the worker was very thorough in confirming that none of the vegan donuts contained any of the other allergens (peanuts and sesame). I decided to go with the chocolate donut with sprinkles wbu h came out to $5.51 including tax. $5 per donut is a bit steep, but I'm guessing it's the going rate for vegan donuts. My niece ended up really enjoying it, so I'd definitely return if I were to get her another donut. All in all, the staff are friendly, the merch is cute & trendy, and the donuts are presented well! read more

I absolutely love this spot in Pasadena They have the best gluten free donuts around. Whenever I can I make it a point to stop in for breakfast!

Look forward to my next visit ! Until then... bake on! read more

I'm always obsessed with the people working here, they're so friendly and extroverted it makes me jealous Their seasonal drinks are very tasty! i think last fall they had a brown sugar cardamom latte that I still think about.... i wish they'd bring it back just for me...... Highly love and recommend the food. nothing is too sweet and the location is really good. It's fun to people watch as you eat your donut! You could easily study here too but I would much rather chit chat with the fine folks running the place read more

Upon arriving, it was difficult to find the place because it is new and the signs aren't quite up yet. There is ample amount of parking near and around the cafe. The interior was beautifully decorated and clean and inviting. Staff was so friendly and explained ind retail about all the items and the ingredients thoroughly. Finally, a place where I can enjoy treats that are gluten free and have good for you ingredients. I purchased a half dozen doughnuts, of which I've so far tried the rose and creme brulee. The rose doughnut was perfectly balanced sweet, light and delicious. The creme brulee doughnut was also delicious and light. They also offer vegan options and low sugar options sweetened with link fruit with high protein content. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Just came for a matcha latte. It was very good. Excellent nutty matcha flavor. I got it with oat milk, which wasn't extra. People were friendly and helpful. It wasn't busy when I was there in the afternoon. Has a fun, bright, airy vibe inside. Pastries all looked excellent, but wasn't in the mood that day. read more

Loved this shop! I bake a lot and recently had to stop eating gluten for health reasons. This place is a definite repeat visit for me. They have so many gluten free options. To speak to the quality of the items, I literally did not believe their gluten free chocolate chip cookie was gluten free at first! It was so good. I've literally had worse chocolate chip cookies made with gluten at other bakeries, I was so impressed. My other favorite items are the scones and the ding dongs. Would highly recommend, I hope they stick around! read more

Be sure to double-check your order before leaving. The staff member was very friendly and talkative but ended up forgetting some of the tiny but expensive donuts I ordered--even though they were clearly listed and charged on the receipt. Also, the donuts are quite pricey for how small they are. read more

the donuts are more cake with a chewy texture, really nice... it's mostly vegan and gluten free but I appreciated that I could order a latte with whole milk. I'm not vegan and that's ok is the feeling I got when I arrived. Went for a very casual client chat who was gluten free but I would return again on my own! read more

Best gluten free donuts in all of LA, i swear. Every other place I've been to for GF donuts just doesn't compare. I drive all the way from West Hollywood for these. So happy to have found this place! read more

I came to this place for the gluten-free donuts and online presence, was excited to try! The employees that have helped me are always friendly and the shop is run very efficiently. It's overall a quiet place to sit and I enjoy the vibe they give off - peaceful, positive, light. They have lots of unique options, which is great if you're an explorer! I've tried several of their donuts, and can pretty confidently give an overarching review of them. For one, they're all very sweet and their flavors are very obvious. However, I think if you're like me and you don't usually reach for max sweetness, these may be an overload. I also noticed that a lot of them are on the drier side, forgivable since they're gluten-free, but also very greasy. Your fingers will have oil all over them after handling one donut. I think they're very cute, but this place feels more aesthetically pleasing than a place for a good go-to donut that won't break the bank. read more

Really great service and nice place for matcha lattes! Highly recommend the lavender matcha latte iced.

This is a new donut shop/bakery on Colorado Blvd that replaced where Leberry used to be. I walk by the area often, so I noticed when there was work being done inside. After I walked by and noticed it was open, I stopped to try it out. I got a maple pecan donut and a tomato & kale egg biscuit. The maple pecan donut was good but nothing special. They have a lot of other interesting flavors that I want to try next time. The egg biscuit was super filling and dense (not in a bad way, it just made me so full haha). Very unique biscuit that was the shape of a muffin, I liked the savory flavors and I haven't had a biscuit like this before. The donuts/pastries are a little pricey but I think it's worth the splurge for their fancier flavors. The owners/employees were really nice and helpful and there's something for everyone. And I definitely recommend the biscuit!! read more

I've eaten many, many kinds of vegan donuts due to a lifelong, severe dairy allergy. Almost every vegan AND gluten-free donut I've had is overly sweet with a deplorable texture... THIS IS NOT THAT. Today, I ate the blueberry mojito donut, and I can confirm that it is the best vegan + gluten-free donut I've ever eaten. The texture is airier than I anticipated, soft, and moist. It's an impeccably balanced donut with an excellent balance of sweetness. The blueberry mojito icing was applied with care and clearly made with fresh blueberries and mint. Hello You're Welcome is serving something magical. It won't be a place that I can afford a lot of donuts, but the price for one is certainly worth the magic. read more

It's a cute new place that I've been wanting to try, but it's a huge disappointment! The donuts are small and $5 each. The flavors are interesting but the taste is horrible!!
