In season, out of season, or somewhere in between, Baked on the Beach is always a must stop. When…read morewe rent over the summer, we probably go every two or three days. The muffins are the BEST, especially the fruit ones, and the crumb cake is nuts. It's like they bake it JUST to the point of not being raw and then top it with 60lbs of crumb. The building itself is tiny, so if there's a line outside, don't let that stop you. Things move quickly. If you're planning to pick up pies or other must-have items, definitely order ahead since you never know when they will be sold out--I've seen it happen. Nothing says summer on LBI like starting the day with a few bites of anything from here. Waking up to that pink box always puts a smile on my face. Oh, and the cold brew is like 110 octane so a little goes a long way... yet I always get a large.

The texture is perfect, the flavors are rich and balanced, and it's a rare find for someone like me with celiac disease. It's not just safe for me to eat--it's a dessert I genuinely crave. I've only had the pleasure of enjoying their treats through Hayday Coffee so far, but this cake has me coming back again and again. I would love to see this bakery grow into something huge--imagine finding their almond cake in local markets or even at Wegmans one day (where I'd happily pay twice the price!). This bakery is a gift to the gluten-free community and dessert lovers alike. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! I highly highly recommend Kizbee's Kitchen desserts = 5/5 !
