Delicious pastries, freshly baked, a If find yourself in walking around the Nokomis area, it's definitely worth stopping by! Note: I would recommend showing up early; the bakery was very busy on a Sunday morning and once they run out for the day, they are out! read more

My husband and I have been gluten free for 14 years- so we know our way around gf baked goods. We love that Sift is here and doing well enough to have many products at several coffee shops throughout the city- it's SO nice to at least have one option at places. However, most of their products are only ok. We usually opt for their chocolate donuts or their brownie to have with a cup of coffee. They at least are fairly consistent and not dry. I had a coffee cake once that was so bad I threw it out after a couple bites. Vegan East has much better quality gf treats - just not as wide of a selection (cupcakes mostly) or sold at other stores. I wish I could give it a better review! read more

I was hosting a baby shower and have a couple people including myself who either are fully gluten free or prefer it. I decided to try sift and order some donuts as well as a slice of their lemon pound cake with blueberry icing. The interior of the store is adorable and the staff were all super friendly. There is a ton of street parking outside of the store. We tried the cinnamon spice, vanilla, chocolate with raspberry, and vanilla with blueberry. All were amazing!! My personal favorite was the vanilla with blueberry! read more

Really nice grab and go spot for gluten-free items and frozen goods like pizza crust, and monkey bread. We haven't made the frozen items yet, but the donuts and muffins we got were incredible and very moist. It's quick counter service and they have two tables inside if you do want to eat your treat there. read more

I went to sift recently with one of my gluten-free friends. The staff were friendly, and greeted everyone who entered the bakery! There were a few tables available, and we chose to sit down to enjoy our treats! I am not gluten-free, but I still really enjoyed their baked goods! They have a good variety of options, and their website clearly lists allergens, so this would be a good place for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. They do sell out of some items each day, so I would recommend getting there early if you want something specific. I got the vegan cheesy herb bread which uses a vegan mozzarella. The interior was soft and pillowy. The vegan mozzarella melted nicely throughout, although the herbs were really the more prominent flavor! I think it's a good herb bread, for vegans and non vegans alike. My friend and I split the cookie box. The sprinkle cookie was crunchy, and the sprinkles added extra crunch! The chocolate crinkle cookie was chewy inside and slightly crunchy outside. They were both good, and I would get them again. However, my favorite was the sunbutter blossom because of the beautiful chocolate ganache. I would recommend this bakery to anyone, gluten-free or not! read more

Love this place the gluten free bakery items are delicious, the cakes I've bought are so moist and full of flavor, they are a pleasant surprise to any party or event where you want an excellent cake, gluten free or not! Their cakes are better than regular wheat based cakes IMO and I am not the one in family who is intolerant of gluten. Their breads are fabulous as well, sour dough is 10+! Worth the drive from Eagan anytime. read more

Sift Bakery - Gluten Free Extremely Fabulous Super Moist Birthday Cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Totally GF bakery & coffee shop! Their carrot cake is AMAZING! Ordered a carrot cake for my mom's b-day. Cakes are delicious & beautiful. HOWEVER, cakes are given to you fresh & you are told to keep at room temp ("refrigeration will dry them out!") for NOT MORE THAN 48 HOURS! Just best to know this ahead of ordering around a holiday as you need to make room in your freezer. read more

Unique but limited drink options. A little inflexible on how they make drinks. Enjoyed the baked goods more than the breads.

I've only been a few times, but it seems to me that they serve good food that my family likes to enjoy. So that's a plus in my book.

Fabulous Gluten Free bakery and very busy which is always a good sign. We tried the blueberry coffee cake which was super moist and had a hint of cardamom, very Scandinavian. We also had the raspberry bar, also excellent. read more

It really is a gluten-free for all. So glad I came across this small bakery in South Minneapolis. There are so many options for gluten-free lovers. My son is gluten, sensitive and almost lost his mind when we walked into the store. They have donuts, monkey bread, custom cakes, breads, puppy chow, and so many more. There is also coffee. The staff were very friendly and willing to show me ingredient list which helped make me feel more comfortable. There is a little small space for eating if you choose to stay inside and enjoy your treats.we went early in the morning so there was also plenty of parking on the street. read more

A gluten free for all! Loads of pastries, cakes, donuts and what looked to be savory treats as well. There was a wide variety and everything was clearly marked with allergen information.

Wouldn't know it was gluten free without being told. Pumpkin bars excellent. Cute place and bustling!

I've been to Sift Bakery three times now while visiting family in Minneapolis and it has impressed every time! As someone who is gluten-free and dairy-free, traveling is difficult, and it is particularly difficult to find treats. Sift's bakery items seem pretty consistent, they taste delicious, and I love how many dairy-free and vegan options they have! I was especially excited about their challah and babka, which were particularly delicious when eaten warm. read more

I found this bakery on my gluten free app while visiting the Twin Cities. I went there on a Sunday morning. Small store front on 46th near Cedar Avenue in south Minneapolis. A few people in line. I got a cinnamon and a vanilla iced doughnut. They were both delicious, soft and chewy. Highly recommend. I tried to go back Monday but they are closed M-T... read more

Great service and atmosphere. Cannot behave the donuts I had were gluten and dairy free, they were just as good as any normie donuts I've had in the last months read more

We ordered a latte, several baked goods, and a loaf of bread. Everything was ok, but not exceptional.

If you appreciate this review, please annotate it as "helpful," give a "thanks" or "love this", and follow me for more. Check out my IG: whiskey_with for more news, insight, pairings and other fun related content. ---------------------------------------------- What a great spot for those with food allergies! We have been here multiple times and have found new things for our family to try. Customer Service | while very helpful the gentleman at the register most of the time is not warm, doesn't really smile and carries themself with a bit of an attitude that suggests the customer needs to hurry up and move on. Food Allergies | this is a great spot for those with food allergies as it's gluten free and many of their products have other alternative ingredients as well for those allergic to more than just wheat. We have purchased the loaves of bread and fresh made bakery items. They also have a binder with all the ingredients you can check out to verify what you can have. The space is very clean, and there is limited seating inside, but a nice patio seating area as well. read more

On Sundays Sift has gluten free soft pretzels. They are 8.50 which is a little expensive but worth it once and awhile for a pretzel! The pretzel comes with some cheese on the side. I also enjoy their Chex mix and lemon bar. Parking is on the street/neighborhood and usually pretty easy to find. I will come back to try more food and desserts! read more

We had a gluten-free lemon cake with dairy-free cream cheese frosting. Everyone commented that it was a great cake!

I went here over the weekend while visiting Minneapolis, and my friend and I tried a savory corn muffin and a mocha donut. There's a reasonable but not expensive selection of treats here, and the space is clean and well maintained. The baked goods were ok. Personally it's just always a treat to know I can eat safely somewhere, but I also find it frustrating when most things are GF plus vegan/dairy free. They tend to be very sweet when that's the case and have some texture limits. This is definitely the case with the donuts here. The corn muffin was good but not fantastic, just solid. I'd absolutely come back again and try other things. I'm glad this place exists and with a few tweaks I think it could be outstanding! read more

Great place for those who are gluten sensitive - food is great and fast

Gluten free choices galore here!! Cookies, cupcakes, donuts..you name it! We got there around noon and a lot of items were sold out. We will definitely go earlier next time. During COVID, they have it set up where only one person (or couple) can enter at once. The menu items are all displayed on the outside of the building for viewing before you go in to order. This was a great way to handle it as we all know how busy (and crowded!) bakeries can get. I absolutely will be back, there are so many fun menu items I need to try!! read more

It's a "gluten free for all"! I LOVE Sift. Their baked goods are out of this world and make all us Gluten Free people feel a little sense of normalcy. I have tried a lot of their treats, but my favorites are their donuts, egg muffins, and cinnamon rolls. Since the owners are GF, they have a ton of experience working with folks with one or more food allergies. Their donuts are on a flavor rotation, but you can usually get their vanilla or chocolate. My personal favorite is the maple donuts. They have cute and delicious cupcakes that we get for special occasions. If you don't have a sweet tooth, they also have fresh baked bread products! Try the focaccia! It's amazing! They are taking all the COVID precautions and only allow a few people in the shop at a time. Check out Sift! read more

Covid review!! Ok, so gluten free peeps, this is your place! During pandemic times they would like credit cards only, no more than two people in the store, and definitely masks on. Great! Except they have about 5 million handmade signs and could use a better graphic designer and some help with putting an X or two or three on their sidewalk bc the crowd outside is WEIRD. Maybe that was just my random experience. Anyway, if you have a friend who is gluten free, they will love that you came here! But your gluten tolerant friends are likely to be underwhelmed by the cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. read more

Sift has so much to offer whether you're gluten sensitive or a gluten fiend! Sweet and savory baked goods, savory snacks, frozen take-home items (pizza crust!), cafe drinks, and more. Plus, it's a lovely little place and women-owned! I'm pretty sure their selection rotates daily, but some of my favorite things I tried were: carrot cake cupcake, house-made chex mix, and their mini quiches. I prefer savory more than sweet, so the quiches were tops for me. Buttery little baskets filled with soft cheesy eggs, yum! Some of the flavors of the baked goods got a little redundant and of course are not quite like their full-gluten counterparts, but as far as GF goes, they were great. I'll have to come back and snag a pizza crust and bread to take home too! read more

I'm a huge fan of this bakery, so much so I went 2 Sundays in a row, and it's a 30 min drive for me. I love the options they have everything but 1 we loved. We got the chocolate donut, good flavor, rich chocolate and yummy. The cinnamon roll was fresh and just scrumptious. The chocolate cupcake was good without the gritty flavor, frosting was good but this is the one thing I didn't like was the sugar on top that gave it a cruch, ha ha. And I've had the cinnamon sugar donut and OMG it was like fresh cinnamon coffee cake in a little piece of heaven. And it's all gluten free, what a fresh change to have it taste like regular bake goods. Can't wait to go back. read more

Excellent gluten free birthday cake. It was very moist and very tasty. Will buy again.

What a lovely experience I had here. Everybody was so friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. As somebody who just received a celiac diagnosis I felt comfortable, safe, and I had zero reactions to eating many delicious and delightful items from this bakery! The bread is amazing and hardy, the banana bread is mind blowing, and the French toast sticks were absolutely delectable. read more

Why we hadn't been to this bakery & coffeeshop yet, I'm not sure (did someone say pandemic?). At any rate, we were heading up north and I wanted to stop for coffee before hitting the road. We are not gluten free eaters, so we weren't seeking that feature out specifically. Maybe all of this circumstance is what made the visit that much more impressive, I don't know. All I know is that everything was delicious. I could NOT believe it was all gluten free. We had the blueberry coffee cake and banana bread, oh my. My husband had a classic macchiato (it's served in an espresso cup) and when I asked for more foam, the barista remade the drink happily. My drip coffee with cream was rich and smooth too. Next time you're wondering where to get your morning cup of joe and a pastry treat, send yourself to sift. Rarely does a place warrant five stars, and in this case, they do so flawlessly. read more

What a delicious birthday cake! Everyone enjoyed it and only one person eats gluten free. It was pretty too. So glad we found this bakery, we will definitely be back for more. read more

Incredible for my celiacs out there- we need more of this where I live. Great quality and price point.

Gluten free is not rocket science but it IS a science. And, if done with care, love and the right ingredients, it quickly escalates to art. I found that here at Sift! If not done right, a baked good can quickly go from intriguing and interesting to disappointingly gritty, dry and/or nasty. I did NOT find that here. What I did find is a gem of a corner bakery producing outstanding baked goods without all the commercial brand processed tasteless awful gluten free yuk. Today I tried the Blueberry Donut and the Cinnamon Roll. The donut alternated between bites of sweet cake and blueberry (and sometimes both at the same time). It was so awesome to actually taste fresh blueberry through the cake part without the sweetness or cake masking the fruit flavor. The frosting was a deep blueberry purplish so good layer of goodness on top that I can't even remember if there were blueberries in the cake part. Was the donut or the frosting responsible for the wow? I can't even remember....it was so good I didn't care. That's bakery science. I motored through it. The Cinnamon Roll tasted like grandma used to make, or like my aunt's fail safe recipe.....or was it my mom's? Oh wait mom never "made" them. But I wish she had made them like this instead of from a can. Cinnaminny and buttery and doughy and good. All three working together in blissful bakery gluten free harmony. I only wished I had taken it home to warm it up instead of eating it in the car. Details: parking a breeze as it's on the corner. Currently only take out. Order ahead online or in person (there's a nice window menu). One of the super friendly staff will accept your order then direct you to a side door for pick up. Wear your mask. Do your part and they'll do theirs perfectly. Credit or debit cards only. Women -led and community fed! Doesn't get much better. My new spot. read more

Wonderful gluten-free food, but not a welcoming environment. I went to pick up an order and was not allowed inside (masks are required, and I have a medical condition that prohibits me from wearing one). The employees waved masks at me and pointed at my face, then waved me outside and passed me the order through the back door, open a crack. I won't be back until their in-store policy is more friendly and understanding. If you're that concerned about someone in 2022 not wearing a mask, your store shouldn't even be open. read more
