Being gluten-free and dairy-free, I very rarely get to walk into a place and just order what I want without making a bunch of substitutions or asking a million questions. This place was such a treat. My latte was amazing, and my husband and I both got the bagel breakfast sandwiches and absolutely loved them. My husband isn't gluten-free or dairy-free, and he thought his was just as good as I did. That's what impressed me most. This isn't just great food "for being allergen-friendly." It's just really good food. We're visiting from out of town and honestly wish we had a place like this near where we live. Thank you for making allergen-friendly food taste like the food everyone actually wants to eat! read more

Third Coast Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

This place was walking distance from our motel so we came here for some coffee. They specialize in vegan and gluten free items and they only offer nondairy milks for their coffee. I ordered an iced sleeping bear latte (love the name), which was espresso, milk, and lavender vanilla syrup. I typically only drink dairy milk but I chose almond milk as my choice of milk. All syrups are housemade, which I always appreciate. The latte was okay, but there wasn't much flavor and it wasn't as creamy as I would have liked. There's a couple tables inside as well as a nice outdoor seating area. read more

Third Coast Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

The food is WAY OVERPRICED!!! $14 for a sausage and egg bagel. My 16 oz iced latte was 8 oz ice.

I am so glad Third Coast Bakery exists! Walking in knowing I'll have plenty of dairy free options was a dream. While in town for a few days we stopped for a morning coffee and donut. They were busy with quite a line but once they got another person on the register, the three person team got through the orders efficiently. We tried the donuts and I tried a breakfast bagel sandwich. All of it was delicious and just what I was wanting. The gluten free bagel was the best texture I've had from a gluten free bread item. Staff was friendly and helpful. Inside there are a few tables or outside they have a little picnic area if you want to stay to eat. You are also just steps away from public beach access if you want to take your breakfast with a view. Can't wait to come back! read more

As someone who has celiac and struggles to find bakeries I was so excited to find this place. Their food is not only really good quality but tastes amazing. All of the employees were really sweet and helpful in taking everyone's orders and seemed to have a good rhythm. The location as a whole is such a cute little place both on the interior and exterior. This is definitely a bakery I would recommend!! read more

I wish I could give third coast a higher review but every single item has coconut in it. So if you have a tree nut allergy it's important to know nothing they have is not Nut free. Even if the label says it is nut free as they don't count coconut a nut. Just wanted to put this as a caution. read more

Gluten-free AND dairy-free is hard to find. This bakery is EXCELLENT. If you eat gluten, dairy or meat, you may or may not like this - depends on what you are getting I guess. My Lemon donut and pumpkin donut were outstanding- maybe a tad sweeter than necessary, but I was just happy to indulge in a gluten-free and dairy-free baked good. Cherry pies were sold out by 10:30 when we were there, so we ordered one for tomorrow. Mainly outdoor seating - just three tables inside. Highly recommend and can't wait to return. read more

. My wife and I recently stopped here just because she heard about all of the vegan options that were here. This place has a great selection of coffee and other morning products for your morning fix. The lines here are pretty long and it comes a show how popular this place is. The staff here is very friendly and patient. I settled on one of the vegan brownies and another one of their snacks and it was absolutely filling since the portion size was pretty huge for what I bought it for. This store is pricier here than others but it's a small business worth supporting read more

The baked items are super super dry and dense. The frosting is overly sickening sweet. I don't know why this place stays open. There are gluten free mixes that when baked at home are much better lighter and fluffier while still gluten free. read more

Really good donuts and muffins! I love how most of the stuff is vegan. Staff have always been super friendly.

This is a Gluten Free bakery. The baked goods are a GF persons paradise but for the rest of the world, they are dense and dry. It's a carry out mostly establishment. Service was fine. read more

It was so amazing to be able to have sweet treats that were allergen friendly and a great selection to choose from! We had cookie cremes, cinnamon roll and a donut. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by Third Coast Bakery in Traverse City. It was a busy Sunday morning which is expected to be busy. They off a variety of fall specials but I tried their iced Americana and classic breakfast sandwich. It was a huge sandwich and filling. read more

Thank god for gluten free bakeries! This place was awesome. I went around 1:30pm, and it was a bit picked over, especially with their bagels. Otherwise, great selections with a homemade taste. The toastie was my favorite, and the scone was okay too. Lots of donut options and to-go foods like cupcakes! read more

Ten stars if I could. I am gluten free with celiac. I'm new to TC -- what a discovery. Their pies are heavenly. read more

A good choice for anyone gluten, soy or dairy free! Not my favorite donut because of the consistency because it was more powdery than I would have like. Service was fast and it was very local and cute. It was a small joint that feels more homey. It had a couple of tables and glass walls to look outside at the forest! read more

Everyone is so friendly. Bagels and bread sell out fast! Coffee is delicious. Some indoor and outdoor seating is available. Great baked goods selection. Porta potties outside. read more

Very expensive, but doesn't disappoint. Great seasonal flavors. I was visiting, if I lived there, I would probably only indulge annually due to the price read more

Seems to be a popular place, had a long line in the am. They have quite a few interesting items on the menu. Went in for the lavender lemon scone, but they did not have it that morning. I had the lemon blueberry cake instead with the sleeping bear coffee. The coffee was great, the lavender is noticeable and more of an acquired taste. The cake was dry in my opinion. Service was quick and they have small area for seating indoor and outdoors. I would say I'm glad to have checked it out, but personally would not return. read more

Very Friendly staff and the amazing scent is overwhelming when you walk in the door! And everything I tried is delicious!!! I am in love!

The lemon doughnuts are to die for! Always a winner!! You won't regret stopping by. :)

Clean, Good but overpriced . Really nothing more to say but reviews have to have at least 85 characters

The first time we came here I was mortified... my mom requested whole milk in her coffee. Like... mom... did you read the sign? And it's true- everything here is vegan, gf, and dairy free. We just came back again, and their baked goods are amazing!! I got a gooey peanut butter chocolate brownie, and it is legit probably the best brownie I've ever had. Their strawberry donuts are great as well. Strongly recommend!!! read more

Was told that there was no option for regular milk which isn't a problem, but all the "milk" options they have are up charged by $1.50. Should be rolled in to the price if it isn't an option and more of a necessity especially as a business that markets themselves gluten free, dairy free, and vegan. Misleading. read more

Yum! Great coffee and great food! Tried the maple pumpkin donut and the oatmeal cream pies - both were delicious! Fast service too.

OMG the chocolate lavender donut!!!! Get that! And a superfood latte- the turmeric ones are fab- love this place. Come early so you have your choice of everything Staff really nice too And great, easy on/off the road location with easy parking. read more

This place has something for everyone - allergen sensitive or not! I was the only one in my group avoiding gluten and dairy; everybody's plates were clean. Everything is gluten, dairy, and soy free: the cookies, scones, donuts, bread - everything! Ginger cookie and donuts were great; scone was okay. Ingredients are clearly listed in case you have questions. I also took a tray of cinnamon buns home... The staff were friendly and patient, as I was really excited about ordering. Place was also clean. And the prices are more than reasonable (at least compared to the Pacific Northwest). Can't wait til I'm back in the area to grab more trays again! read more

Gluten free bakery and coffee. Really a carry out place but no worries as plenty of park and shoreline near by if the weather is warm. Creative mix of items that are all gf. Treat for someone that has not been in a bakery because of contamination risk. 100% gf no issues. read more

Seriously, it's the best place in this area. We come every yr in September and are never disappointed. The hot n smokey breakfast sandwich is so good!!!! Great staff! And the manager is so patient and kind with her staff and that sets the whole mode for a positive experience read more

A little pricey for two coffees, a bagel, and muffin. Service was okay. They were busy so had to wait a little while for the bagel.

So glad I found this place! Super cute and clean inside. Dedicated gluten free bakery/cafe! I got a hot mocha latte, a breakfast sandwich, and a cinnamon donut for $26. Everything was fresh and delicious! I'm celiac and didn't have any reaction. read more

Wonderful local bakery in heart of TC! We stopped in on our way into the city for a long weekend we were spending up north. They had a variety of gluten free and vegan options. They had exceptional service during covid and offered up suggestions for things we should try. The donuts were delicious and I think they were baked vs being fried? They felt very fluffy but not heavy! read more

Friendly service. Good food and good coffee. Really happy that their food is vegan. It can be hard to find options when I'm traveling so it was nice not to have to worry. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town read more

When you travel with your family and you are newly gluten free due to health concerns and have to watch all your family members enjoy baked goods that you can't have it becomes quite depressing. Thankfully Third Coast Bakery exists and saved the trip for me! I couldn't help myself from stocking up on some goodies for me to enjoy through out the rest of our vacation. The donuts are so good, especially the pumpkin one!! The customer service was amazing and the girl who helped me was the sweetest. I went in right before closing and was impressed with the amount of options they still had left, I'm hoping to maybe stop in again before we head to our next destination because I loved it so much! read more

I visited their brand new store front this past weekend while in Traverse City. I have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to try their gluten free baked goods as I've been following them on social media for awhile. I was pleasantly surprised that the timing of my trip coincided with the brand new store. It is centrally located closer to downtown with plenty of parking. After seeing all the delightful treats on their Instagram page I was a tad disappointed that they didn't have quite the variety I was hoping for in the store. Everything here is gluten free, soy free and vegan which is awesome and very accommodating for many people with dietary restrictions. However, like many places that do a lot of vegan cooking or baking I noticed many of their items contained nuts. Sadly, I can't have nuts either :( I did end up getting a chocolate raspberry donut which was truly outstanding. It was moist, flavorful and had a good consistency. I brought my friend back a lemon glazed donut and he really liked it as well. A few of my friends tried the cookies and also the edible cookie dough, they all enjoyed everything. I will definitely be back whenever I'm in TC. read more

Top notch! We popped in after a long weekend in Traverse City for coffees and a sweet treat. Everything is obviously made with care - gluten free and in many cases vegan too (which always scares my husband). I ordered a black coffee and almond scone. My husband opted for his a fudgie salted caramel something or other coffee which he loved along with a coffee cake pumpkin donut. While checking out he noticed the gooey chocolate peanut butter brownies and had to grab one to go. Super friendly staff and great local bakery that pays attention to the details. read more
