Finding a place as epic as Dempsey Bakery in Little Rock is like finding a diamond in a coconut, just awesome. Moving here from Texas I was hoping there would be a gluten free restaurant or too but I certainly didnt expect an entire bakery! First visit was amazing, this is a gluten free/food allergen paradise for someone whos searching for quality food. Soon as I walked in I was welcomed by the nice bakers and I was already sampling and sniffing everything around, they have coolers with frozen goods ready to take home, an entire bakery on the other side where one employee was mixing some stuff up, and a display full of dessert goodies. I cant wait to go back to try lunch, they serve lunch until 2PM which includes sandwiches, salads, and pizzas! Took home some fresh baked bread and made myself a sandwich, probably one of the best gluten-free breads made today. The meatloaf dinner was so darn good I couldnt believe it was all gluten free, and the Allie-Os nomnomnom. My favorite snack was the Owl sugar cookies, now that is a cookie I could eat daily. Thank you Dempsey for having a allergen friendly bakery for a person like me, be back soon.

I flew into Little Rock to visit a long time friend and the 1st place she took me from the airport was to Dempseys Bakery. I have been gluten free due to severe gluten intolerance for 4 1/2 years and this place is AMAZING!! I wasnt expecting the quantity of options available and everything I sampled was delicious. Getting gluten free products to have a "gluten like" texture as in one that had some pull and refinement is not easy. Dempseys has a great selection of samples to try when you walk in all of which were delicious as well as a huge variety of baked goods in their glass displays and frozen goods to take home for later. The owner Paula welcomed us and was so helpful and friendly. She clearly has a passion for bringing fresh baked preservative free food to everyone - including those who are gluten intolerant and even those who have nut, tapioca, and dairy allergies! She has managed to create products that are free of these allergens without losing any of the richness or flavor that a regular wheat based baked good would have. Thanks so much for the yummy welcome to Little Rock Dempseys! I wish youd come to Richmond, Va!

I cant say enough good things about this place! We were visiting town for just 1 night and I thought Id try my luck finding a gluten free bakery. I was astounded by how delicious their items are, most being gluten, dairy, and nut free. The staff and manager are SO kind and were eager for us to try samples of just about everything. It was hard to decide on what to get, but after we had picked our items, they even threw in an extra sweet because "you have to try these if this is your only time visiting town!" Very grateful for such kind people, great service, and DELICIOUS baked goods. The baguettes with artichoke/spinach dip and the hot milk cake are to die for.

Misleading advertising. They claim to offer all sorts of animal free foods on their website, but when you arrive at the store, they say they are present for allergies. They claimed that some "vegans are okay with glycerine," and they refused to me look at the products they use. Staff used the phrase, "whatever," and that "we dont understand vegan..." so perhaps one would think they shouldnt turn up as the top search result for "vegan bakery Little Rock?" I also called an hour ahead. Avoid this place if you are looking for cruelty free food or polite customer service. Staff were belligerent in front of other customers.

So GOOD! Love the cupcakes! Dempsey Bakery is full of deliciousness and flavor, unlike many supermarket bakeries, and is worth the trip. All offerings are gluten free, so they sit well in the stomach. Service is speedy and friendly. Be careful, though, theyre getting really popular, so they can run out of some goodies early. Cookies are spectacular and the pizza crust is heavenly. Not cheapy-cheap, but definitely worth the price.

Great to have an option. A little pricy and they stop serving food at 2:00. The baked good are good. We were driving through Little Rock and arrived at 3:00. We were planning to get dinner for the road but, nope. They stop serving at 2:00. This would have been good to know before we stopped 20minutes out of our way. We enjoyed the Easter treats and Rosemary crackers for the rest of the trip to Fayetteville. :-).

Love this bakery!!! Most of the bread products that are gluten free are chewy or leave an after taste...not this place! We sampled so many items and NOTHING was bad! Love their dairy free items as well. Never thought I would be able to have a cupcake again and actually got teary-eyed over my options, as well as thinking I can have a "normal" birthday cake again! Awesome!

Well I stumbled upon this place by accident the young ladies were very helpful I got delicious coffee and a couple cookies they have samplings of all their popular items out as well. Being a man excited by the little things I was ecstatic that they had Stevia to put in my coffee . 6 stars from this Italian tattooed fellow.

Paula and her staff has been so helpful as well as providing excellent quality food for many people in the Central Arkansas area who suffer from mild to severe food allergies, even suggesting other stores where we can find hard to find foods

Great customer service. Relaxed and didnt rush us. Gluten-free bread is both tasty and has good texture, which is usually the challenge with this kind of speciality bread. Many dessert options that we havent had for years!

I am abundantly grateful for bread that tastes like grandmas, rolls that satisfy even my pickiest eater, pizza crust that turns a last minute effort into a favorite meal, and pie crusts that that celebrate all my fillings.

The desserts here are delicious! I think its great to have a bakery where people, who are limited as to what they can eat due to food allergies, have somewhere to go for delicious treats, breads, and other eats.

I ordered a cookie and when I took my first bite I felt something sharp and hard against my teeth. I immediately spit it out and it was a broken piece of sharp plastic. Never going back.

Dempsey Bakery provided breakfast and lunch for a conference I recently attended and I was so impressed! Honestly the best gluten-free food I have had for awhile! Thank you so much!

My 3yr son is allergic to dairy and soy. Now he can walk into a bakery and order almost anything. He has found his happy place.

If you are gluten intolerant this is perfect for you. If your not, you still need to try their lunch sandwiches, delicious!

Cool place. If you allergic to some foods this is where you should go, they are very sensitive to food allergies.
