Amazing sweets as always. The strawberry short cake and chocolate pecan logs are my favorite. My kids love the ice cream sundays.

I called to find out if they were going to have pre-made pies available the week of Thanksgiving to sell, but the gentleman who answered the phone was rude and didn't allow me to finish my sentences. I've never been to The Thinnery and have no desire to try there baked good. This man acted bothered that I even called. No thanks, there are plenty of other amazing bakeries. read more

This place is a Paradise for diabetics and anyone who loves sugar free desserts. Went today for the first time with my good friends and neighbors I got so much stuff for a mere $17.00. And it all freezes! We came all the way from Duarte. Well worth the trip. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and personable. Check it out! read more

I love this place, the male owner that works here is awesome and it always smells like heaven when you first walk in the door.

The Thinnery - Anniversary cake from The Thinnery - Bakeries Near Me - Upland, California

Finally found a sugar free bakery near me! I was googling a sugar free place for my dad and I am so glad this place popped up on my yelp. I visited for the first time today and they have a good selection of pastries and cookies! I wish I could show you all the delicious cinnamon log that I got but I devoured it before even taking a picture. I highly recommend this cute little bakery and will be stopping by regularly. read more

Love this place! Been going there for 30 years! Since before I became diabetic. Heard he may sell it or just retire!

The best sugar free cakes, horns, pies, I have ever had it is a Diabetic dream that I can have this without hurting my blood levels I say to all try it so delicous! read more

The owner really works hard and truly cares about his customers. I am on a keto diet and he has helped my mother and I enjoy food again. Her and I needed something different that didn't taste like coconut. Everything on keto seems to have a coconut-based taste. We even eat the crust he makes on his tarts and puts in his cheesecakes and still lose weight on keto. So nice to have a treat when you are on specific diet. read more

Love this place.. I have been coming here for so many years they have sugar-free desserts. Unfortunately I just learned that the owner is closing down the business. I believe he owned it for over 30 years and he said it's time to retire. So enjoy it because he'll be closing soon read more

The owner is holding out on her your napoleons are not flakey like he made them the pecan rolls taste different my crème puff was not good I won't be coming back if you're going to sell someone the recipe don't leave any ingredients out that's just mean ! I'm sure she paid good money.. read more

I have to admit I was skeptical from the outside and honestly the inside too. But wow this was possibly the best dessert I've ever had, and it was even sugar free! Since I have started eating less sugar it has been a struggle to find sugar dessert, but now I have my new place! Try it out, you won't regret it! read more

The Thinnery - Creme horn! Delicious!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Upland, California

See all

Great food, heaven for diabetiCs and I love bringing my family here so they can splurge guilt free :)

I have been a frequent customer at the Thinnery for 38 years. The owner bends over backward to make special orders for customers. When a customer cancels an order last minute there is no one to buy that item. There is no racism here. All customers get treated fairly. My family and I have enjoyed wonderful service and cakes for years. That includes my husband also a man of color. People will write anything when they know they can hid behind their keyboard. read more

Best place ever. The owner is such a doll. He is so accommodating, their sweets are to die for, and there is so much variety. Truly a fantastic bakery. Just cannot say enough great stuff about this unique one of a kind bakery! Give it a shot, diabetic, dieter, or a bakery lover this is your place! Oh! And try the wickedly rich, you can thank me later!!!! read more

I just want to give this place a 5 star and a great big thank you to the Baker and owner. He is the only one working there but it seems like he will always try to accommodate his customers. He said he will most likely close down shop earlier than two years since he has no help and has gotten extremely busy. I've love his chocolate and pumpkin moose tarts. I also buy the sugar free whites chocolate almond barks. If you ever read this Greg, I truly appreciate your hard work and the effort you put behind your baked goods. read more

Wow! This place is a jewel of a bakery. Guilt-free sweets! This sugar-free bakery had been in Upland over 30 years and still counting. The owner is a very nice and engaging person; i enjoy talking with him. And the sweets are plentiful. He has some excellent deals on pastry items as well as frozen yogurt. and a wide selection. My favorites are the cream filled brownies. ( the pecan and the vanilla are my downfall! Wait, actually they're sugar-free, so i can brush that guilt right off) One of the best things about this place is it's right next door to the 24 hour fitness in Upland. So, right after I finish up my week (saturday) I can go right over and indulge in guilt-free pleasures! read more

good bakery in upland i go here on lazy days to drive far got good selection to pick from and its delicious its a sugar free bakery must get... lemon merengue pie fantasy cake lites (lemon) turnovers read more

We made the hour-long drive to Upland today to stock up on their low-cal muffins ($1.85 each). A friend told me about this place about 2 years ago. She said she buys about 30 muffins (they look like mini bundt cakes) per visit, which apparently isn't uncommon among Thinnery fans. They freeze nicely (thaw one overnight in the fridge, or just pop them into the microwave, which is what I do). The muffins make a tasty treat (and are a satisfying portion size) and are only 2 points each (for you Weight Watchers fans), though the corn muffin (my favorite) is 3 points. My favorite muffin flavors include corn, chocolate, cranberry orange, carrot cake, lemon poppy seed, and apple cinnamon. I'm not too crazy about the banana bran, blueberry, and carrot bran, though if you're a first-timer, I suggest trying out one of each and figuring out which ones you like best. I can't tell at all that they're sugar-free. Maybe some of you can, but I think most dieters and diabetics will be grateful that a place like Thinnery exists. This place also sells desserts, candy, chocolates, cakes, frozen yogurt, pastries and pies. We tried out their version of cheesecake (3 points), which didn't actually resemble real cheesecake. But it was still pretty good. Everything seems to sell out pretty quickly, but the owner told us that if you want super-fresh pastries, call at least a day ahead, and he would bake them fresh just for you. p.s. Most of the pastries are made with non-fat milk, so they aren't vegan/vegetarian. You might want to call and see if you can get a special order made with soy milk or whatnot. The owner seemed super nice and accommodating. Accepts VISA and MC. Hours: Mon - Fri 11:00 am - 7:00 pm Sat 11:00 am - 5:00 pm Sun CLOSED read more

I went in today for the first time to surprise my boyfriend who was just told he's pre-diabetic. I wanted to show him that he can still enjoy desserts, which he loves. I asked what the most popular thing was and the man said they were sold out but he'd be happy to make one. It didn't take long at all and we had a delicious strawberry shortcake. If no one told me it was sugar free I wouldn't have even known. It tasted so good! He was also very friendly and chatted with us. I saw some people called him racist from their interaction with him, but I'm Middle Eastern and my boyfriend is African, and he was very kind to us both. I will go back in 2 weeks to buy my boyfriend a birthday cake read more

Love this place. My favorite is any kind of turnover or figure 8. The muffins are okay depending on what you get. The corn is the best but it also happens to have the most calories, coming in with the lemon poppy seed as a close second and the one with the lowest calories. The other stuff that I've tried hasn't been as good but honestly, the turnovers are so good I could care less about the rest. I've heard the freezes are amazing but I've yet to try it. Also- just a small fyi- the guy is super nice and sometimes when he messes up making a muffin or it comes out not as he wanted it to - he'll sell them for half off- that's pretty cool in my book. read more

I passed by this bakery after the gym, and thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did. I picked up some sweets for my diabetic mother and guests. Everyone devoured them, even the kids. So flavorful, tasty and best of all, you dont feel guilty eating It. Will definitely go again. read more

First and foremost... the guy behind the counter is absolutely amazing and sweet. Service means a ton to me and he was awesome. Secondly.... delicious doesn't even begin to describe it. I had an internal debate with myself on whether or not I was upping it's rating because it's guilt free or just tasty. I'm pretty sure that I'm in love with this place. Love at first bite fo sho. I feel as if I could potentially stalk this place and I'm glad that I live 20 miles away or it would completely eff up any attempts I have at going primal. However, when I go down that way I will completely and intentionally veer off path to stop there. I actually lost my phone in the area... maybe because I'm subconsciously already looking for a reason to go back. Btw, I ordered 2 chocolate mousse tarts, a chocolate covered raspberry cream stuffed brownie, a strawberry figure 8 (which is pretty much a turnover with less crust) and a praline chocolate covered ice cream sandwich. I'd order all of these again in a hot second. read more

Very good stuff he makes them all by scratch so if you can't have a lot of sugar is this the place to go you should go and try it out. I like to go there and get cheats for my uncle and take them in surprising him with them read more

This place is truly AMAZING!!! An all SUGAR FREE bakery! Whether you're trying to get healthy, or have a medical condition where you have to restrict sugar, this place will allow you to stick to your dietary restrictions while still enjoying life. Some of the desserts are truly decadent. Seriously - try it!!! You won't be sorry! Oh, and most or all of the desserts can be frozen to keep for later. I drive 30 minutes just to go here, it's worth it. read more

Great hole in the wall. Friendly service, good desserts, not overly sweet since it's obvious "watching your weight" sweet tooth kind of place. Reasonable prices. read more

Great great spot. I shop here every holiday for my diabetic father. He loves their pies. I hope this place stays open forever.

Diabetics Rejoice. This place has everything sugar free for your sweet tooth. OK, the place may not be much to look at and it is hidden behind a Jack in the Box, but the flavors are great and the selection is wide. Just wish that we had this selection available closer to Long Beach. read more

This place is amazing! My loved on was recently diagnosed with diabetes and I finally headed out to Upland to try his desserts. I explained to him that my loved one was just recently diagnosed and he went over with me the options in his display, explaining that some had few net cards but were all sugar free, and some had natural sugar via fruits. He was very nice! I wanted napoleons, which he was sold out and he graciously made some fresh ones for my loved one. They taste amazing! When ai go in, I get an array of pastries and baked goods and can honestly say they don't taste sugar free! It's hard to find sugar free goodies that don't have that gross aftertaste! I'm going to try the made to order cakes in a couple weeks and I will give an update on it. Try this bakery, you won't be disappointed! read more

Came here to pick up a gift card and a haul for some family members. The pastries look and taste amazing! The owner is the star here though...most welcoming and kind person that you don't see too much of nowadays. read more

For those of you on Atkins, South beach, Lindora, and other low carb diets. The Thinnery is the BEST bakery in the Inland Empire and possibly so. Cal. I drive from Riverside to stock up. All of the items can be frozen for that Sweet tooth that creeps up on you out of no where. My favorites are the Brownies both plain and stuffed with flavored moose. A calorie and ingredient menu is on hand to new customers. Call ahead as hours vary. --- Delicious desserts designed for dieters and diabetics are baked fresh daily. In a weight- and heath-conscious world, an oasis of sugarless sweets are available at the Thinnery, a sugar-free dessert bakery in Upland. Owner Greg Sambo is guiltless as charged with creating turnovers, brownies, nine flavors of bundt cakes, soft-serve frozen treats and other baked goods as pleasing to the eye as the tastebuds. Most items are low-fat or fat-free and cholesterol-free. The Thinnery also offers items for the lactoseintolerant. Originally, the Thinnery started out as a franchise bought by Sambo's parents 27 years ago. He explained his mother belonged to Weight Watchers and this type of business appealed to her. After a few years the franchise folded, but the Sambos continued Thinnery as an independent enterprise. "We struggled for the first five years," Sambo said. "At the time there were a few of these types of places. I worked for them for free, learning about the business and some of their recipes. We hung on, fended for ourselves. Now they're all gone and we're still here." The Thinnery promotes portion control and has Weight Watchers points calculated for their items. Sambo educates customers who buy cakes on portion size. "The cakes may be smaller than expected because the pieces are supposed to be smaller," Sambo said. "You can cut larger pieces, but then that kind of defeats the purpose." A blend of fructose and saccharin is currently used to sweeten desserts, but by the end of the year they hope to add Splenda into their mix. "Diabetics are underserved," Sambo said. "This way they can have their cake and eat it, too." read more

Awesome desserts , delicious , you can't even tell that there is no sugar in every dessert!!! Awesome service, great food I recommended 100% read more

I've been here a few times since I found this gem (they've been around for 45 yrs!) and each time I am happy with my purchase. I've had the baked goods, the chocolates, and the individually wrapped candies. The jelly beans are like jelly belly's and the juicy pear and popcorn are my jelly bean fav. No pictures to share because I eat everything as soon as I get it home but everything so far has been delish. read more
