But the shop's gluten-free items include coffee cakes, cupcakes, brownies, brownie bites, cookies, loaf cakes, whoopie cakes and cake slice.

"We make/bake all of our items fresh daily, by hand, in smaller (ish) batches, favoring all-natural and organic ingredients," reads Sweet Theory's website.

Sweet Theory is open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. But it's advised you go earlier in the day rather than later, as the shop will close early for the day if it sells out.

According to AllergyEats, the list was compiled based on reviews of food-allergic diners across the United States on its app and website.
