I stopped by Third Coast yesterday, for the first time, and all I really wanted was a cup of coffee...but of course, I was in a bakery, so I had to try something. Lots of interesting looking baked goods, but ultimately I went with their GoGo! Energy Bites. HOLY MOLY, these little bites were AWESOME! The bites were super moist, and had extremely good flavor! These bites rank right up there with my all-time favorite energy bar which we discovered while hiking in Banff, Alberta. My wife, who is a super picky vegetarian, loved them as well! I highly recommend these bites!! Now, for the coffee, I had the light roast. It was good, but quite honestly their sizing seems a bit off...their large actually seems more like a small. read more

I don't understand how this place makes vegan and gluten free baked goods taste so good. I'm vegan, but I'm usually not a fan of gluten free food....but I'm amazed. Delicious donuts and cake! I think it's a little ridiculous that they only let 3 people in at a time during covid...but it's worth it read more

This is the cutest coffee shop! Lots of natural lighting and a cozy, warm fireplace. They of course have delicious pastries, donuts, and bars, made in-house. We ordered a pumpkin scone and a pumpkin cream pie. They were melt in your mouth good! The bakery alao offers a unique variety of coffee drinks as well as plain coffee. I ordered a Candy Cane mocha with their house-made almond milk. I was very impressed. They also had a lavender latte that I plan to go back and try. The gals were very friendly and actually looked like they had fun working there. Free wifi and we enjoyed sitting there for a couple hours. There isn't a ton of seats so if they're busy, you might not have a place to sit but I highly recommend this local coffee shop and bakery. read more

Amazing Chai lattes and delicious donuts and cupcakes. Highly recommended to anyone seeking out GF treats.

Great coffee and staff much better than the large chains. The food is also very good I love getting a pack of scones for the week

The best gluten free bakery I've been to! Donuts, cake and cookies all amazing. Too bad you don't have a location down state.

What a darling gluten-free, allergy-free bakery with delicious and wonderful baked goods. Donuts, pastries, and yummy granola. The coffee is delicious too! Such a great place to stop for a quick treat. The staff was so friendly as well! I had the pumpkin maple donut - so delicious! read more

I am celiac. Diagnosed 30 years ago. Strangely enough I did not eat anything because of an allergy to legumes (garbanzo, peanuts, pea protein, etc.) which is in their primary flour mix. However, the place was packed!! Options were plentiful. The locals that came in told me they had the best gluten free baked goods around. The business owner was very accommodating, offering to custom bake anything without the allergens and ship to my home. Props to this small business owner. read more

These donuts were amazing! I hardly find awesome GF treats, so this was a great surprise. The strawberry donut was my fav. Will definitely come back during our trip! read more

Very excited to visit here. My celiac daughters loved their donuts and dessert breads. They said that the bakery items they had were delicious. Can't wait to go back tomorrow to get their bread items. read more

100% yes I'll support this business as much as possible. Friendly service. Such a cute clean environment. Almost completely vegan, gluten free, dairy free, sensitive to nut allergies...they have thought of everything and are so kind! read more

Picked up breakfast this morning and it was a disappointing experience. Kids did not eat the highly recommended items by the sales people. The healthy pop tarts were simply not eaten, the kids didn't eat the doughnuts which never happens, the blueberry cake I thought was okay but kids did not like it very much. Everything was thickly covered with a sugar frosting that was not tasty or flavorful! Not sure how this place had the reviews it has. It was clean and staff was pleasant. read more

Worth the trip for a cinnamon roll! Can't wait to try the blueberry loaf tomorrow. Very friendly, efficient staff!

So many vegan and gluten free options - in fact the whole bakery caters to food allergies and sensitivities. It's before downtown, has parking. Both items we got were vegan and even gluten free. They do a great job - most gluten free baking in my experience is gummy or flakey, definitely not the case here. read more

Gluten free that could fool the biggest gluten lover! This place is clean and delicious. Allow some extra time during tourist season(s). Due to C19 and the small space, the line is out the door...because it's worth it! Local love! read more

I like Third Coast and really appreciate their GF offerings. I would have appreciated if they had listed all of the ingredients in their teas (I believe they're called Rishi teas?), and for them to know their tea selection better. I asked the barista for peppermint tea which I usually know to be caffeine free, and she didn't know what they had so she directed me to a menu. I'm very sensitive to caffeine and ordered a chaga chai from the menu as I saw nothing on caffeine listed, however there must have been black tea or something in there as the afternoon tea kept me awake until 2am. read more

WOW! I couldn't be more pleased with how our wedding desserts turned out. We ordered a wedding cake, a groom's cake, cherry pies, and donuts, and every single piece was gone at the end of the night - and we were worried we ordered too much. Having Crohn's I wasn't sure what I was going to be able to find that I was able to eat that all our guests would enjoy too and Third Coast delivered. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to reorder for our anniversary every year. You have lifetime customers with us! read more

It's delicious it's vegan. It's delicious we got the donuts which are delicious and they have a bunch of varieties which I love so glad we went there on a trip to up north.!!!! If you ever go to Traverse City Michigan I was just getting the donuts from here. read more

Holy moly wow this place has an awesome selection of some truly exquisite baked goods. Whether your diet requires you to be GF or not, this place is worth a stop. My only regret is not going sooner but will now make it a required stop at least once every time I'm in town! All the donuts are amazeballz, especially the chocolate ones. So was the chocolate chip cookie whoopie pie. Having a Dough! Fudge Bar now and it's also straight NOMMM! read more

The products are made daily so they are all fresh . Even the coffee is delicious . The staff are personable and know their products ' it's a must when you are in Traverse City or even nearby ! read more

A hidden treat, a small little bakery by NMC that is so easy to miss if you are just driving by but is so worth it! A super modern and bright bakery with many different home style goodies a great place to just grab a little treat and a cup of coffee and warm up by the fireplace. read more

Everything is really tasty! We enjoyed it. All gluten free and vegan options. We enjoyed our breakfast.

We really enjoyed your bakery!! Super cool place. Very friendly and great treats. Our new favorite place!! Wish we had a place like yours near us. read more

We were visiting from Orlando FL and were so happy to find this gem, we grabbed some delicious treats for our celiac kiddos! They devoured it and no sick tummies afterward! The cashier was SO helpful and passionate about their vision and products! Thanks so very much Third Coast! read more

I live in the Ann Arbor area and we have nothing like this place! Everyone was super friendly and warm, and the baked goods.... mmmm. We tried two donuts, a cinnamon roll, and a scone. The donuts were definitely the stars, but we enjoyed everything. The lattes were also yummy. I appreciated that the things with eggs were labeled (I'd thought everything was vegan so I was initially a little bummed). I am vegan but not gluten free, and found the textures pretty close to my usual gluten-y treats. My only sad is that they were closed Sunday so we didn't make it for a return visit! Luckily I have family nearby so I'll be back. read more

Big selection of gf/df baked goods. Donuts are very good! Coffee is great. Looking forward to visiting again!

This place was an lovely stop. Beautiful decor inside. Loved all the different vegan options in one spot.

I live in Los Angeles and I ordered from Third Coast Bakery! My delivery was absolutely delicious! It didn't matter if it traveled across country! The gorgeous donuts and scones I reheated in the oven and they were awesome!! Awesome bakery for your health!! Come to LA, Third Coast and Heather! read more

Definitely the best vegan gluten free place I know of! They are super creative and try to accommodate everyone. I like that they're able to tell me everything in their products. Every time I come in the baristas are super happy to see me. Also the wedding cakes are spectacular! They remember my favorites and take suggestions for new products when I really crave something! I had my birthday cake made here and I was really impressed by the flavor and they made it exactly how I wanted. read more

Great food and super friendly staff! Definitely stop by if you're in Traverse City. Apparently Yelp feels my review isn't long enough, so I'll keep writing, but there's not much else to say other than it's a great little bakery. read more

Really good coffee and vegan baked goods. Cherry chocolate donuts and lavender ginger scones, yes please! All of the employees are personable and the atmosphere non-pretentious. read more

Their variety of baked goods is incredible, everything i have tried has been delicious. The staff is very kind and always willing to answer any questions. Absolutely love this place!! read more

This place is amazing. The owner and staff are amazing and friendly. Everything is delicious! I went here because they had an open house for those who supported them when they were getting the business off the ground. I don't have any dietary restrictions, so I normally wouldn't think of going to a gluten, etc. free bakery, because when I think of gluten free, I think of all the assumptions about how gluten free food would taste. This place throws all those out the window. Their food is amazing! Their baked goods tasted way better than lots of food with gluten, etc. in them. So don't be put off that this is a gluten, etc. free bakery - go and enjoy some excellent baked goods and more! read more

I tried the strawberry toastie, pretty good. I tried the pumpkin sugar donut, not good. I tried the sleeping bear latte, pretty good. Overall though, pretty pricey and overrated. read more

My husband ordered a fog cutter latte and I ordered a sand bar latte. They were wonderful, service was very friendly and the place was clean. Great spot for a cup of coffee! We would return! read more

It's so nice to be able to make a visit to a cafe which serves baked goods and drinks we can enjoy with food sensitivities. So much gratitude to the owner for sharing the love through this cafe/bakery. read more

This is a boutique bakery. You are not going here to buy the office a dozen donuts. One smallish cake donut cost $2. It was very dense, not my favorite presentation of a cake donut. There were only a few choices of cake donuts, a few muffins and a cupcake flavor. If you have dietary issues then maybe this is the place. read more

Excellent gluten free baked goods! Picked up some from the Tom's in Traverse City and you'd never know they were gluten free. The texture and taste is fantastic! I wish we would have bought more. We tried the chocolate chip cookie on the way downstate and now we want more! read more

It's expensive but you get what you pay for. The celiac member of our family says that Third Coast has the best apple pie she's ever had, GF or otherwise. Enjoyed the free sample of a muffin I had when I popped in. read more

Beyond amazed, Our wedding cake fell through but Third Coast Bakery picked it up for us with a mere 5 days remaining. We got an amazing wedding cake, and Heather was an absolute treat to work with the entire time. Of course, the cake tasted just as phenomenal as it looked. Cannot recommend hard enough! read more
