I have been searching for a good GF crust for pies for 5 years. A flaky crust that does not taste like sand is hard to come by. I have made a few homemade ones that are "passable" but not great. A few weeks ago we made a trip to the Twin Cities and my son researched places we could go to dinner that were GF for me. He came across your bakery so we decided to swing by. We just wanted to see what you have. I think Ive actually had your cookies before---they were sold for a while at UBake until they went out of business. The are delicious! Seeing that I try to watch my waistline, I decided to forgo the cookies and try something new. So I got the donut holes, a scone, and 3 pie crusts---2 to keep, 1 to share. The donuts were SO good that I ate all but one (I very grudgingly allowed my son to try it) right in your parking lot---so much for the waistline! I ate the scone the next day with my coffee---delish! Then I made a GF dutch apple pie for myself---and I shared it with three GF friends. The crust was unlike any other I have had! The nasty sandy texture was not there! In fact, it was flaky!! Almost as good as my homemake gluten-filled crusts that I make for my family! I am SO thrilled to have found you ... I just wish you were closer to me! Can you come open a bakery in Rochester? Thanks so much!

I was diagnosed with celiac disease about a year and a half ago. Most gluten-free treats in stores are...terrible. I recently moved and found this shop not too far from my new home. MY GOSH! Im so glad I did! I bought 4 different items (so awesome to have so many choices!) and they are all delicious! I will be going back. Many times. Other reviews will say the service is unfriendly, but take it with a grain of salt. Be a good customer, say please and thank you, tell them if you enjoy something. I didnt find anyone unfriendly. The man up front was very polite to my daughter as well. Im a very happy customer! I bought, the carrot cake, lemon bars, cinnamon pecan coffee cake, and cinnamon raisin bread. All wonderful, my gluten-eating husband liked the lemon bars as well! Oh yeah, when I was picking out my treats I didnt even pay attention to price (I was treating myself) and the price was lower than I expected (especially for gluten free! Which is usually always more expensive). I would compare the prices similar to any bakery, or even lower! Very happy I decided to stop by.

Unfortunately this will be my last time buying products at Bittersweet. Today I stood in a long line waiting my turn and discovered Id forgotten my billfold at home ( had my purse ) I called my husband to meet me with it and then waited until I was helped by an older gentleman; I asked if I might choose my items and then return in a moment with my money. He stated emphatically they didnt hold anything - I could have called 48 hours in advance thats the only way things are held. I had tried this about a year or so ago and had been told they werent taking orders because all the help had quit. They said I should just come in early to get what I wanted. Hmmmm ??? The products are very good and Im sad not to use this establishment but when you write on your bread scripture that says "I am the bread of LIfe.... but cant show grace to your customers, its too grave an inconsistency for me to handle.

Just had the BEST carrot cake ever! Ive been gluten free for over a year and was soooo sad to give up desserts like cakes and cookies. I bought a gluten free cookie from a specialty grocery store and it tasted better than the cookies I had been eating for years- it was from Bittersweet Bakery and I immediately looked them up and drove all the way to Eagan for more goodies! Everything Ive gotten from there has been delicious and youd never be able to tell its gluten free! I especially love the peanut butter cookies and the frosted sugar cookies! After tasting the carrot cake today I may have to start making weekly trips!

Having a wife who has gluten and soy issues, the man behind the counter was very helpful and knew what was in all the items without having to look them up. Now on to the treats!! I got the cinnamon and sugar doughnuts, almond bunt cake, and the lemon bar. The almond bunt cake was super moist and had great flavor. The doughnuts were also very moist and almost a buttery goodness, with a nice coating of cinnamon and sugar. The lemon bar was also good! If youre looking for a gluten free bakery. This is the place. Thank you Bittersweet for having baked goods for my wife (and me)!

There is a review from 2 years ago about bad customer service. Its gotten worse over time. Its a bother, an interruption, if you walk through the door. Calling ahead to preorder seems to bother the woman that is forced to answer the phone. Angry, annoyed and rude would best describe her. Life is too short to allow these nasty rude people to ruin your day. There are a lot of options in Lunds Byerlys, Co-ops, naural food stores,even Target. Dont waste your time here.

I was incredibly excited to see a gluten free bakery pop-up on my google maps recommendations recently. I made the long trek down from Minneapolis, excited to try their baked goods. Sadly, the shop was small and dim, and the companies website poorly represented the store. I was greeted with a frown from an older gentleman, I felt like I was bothering him just by being there. I probably wont be going back, which is sad, because I really do want to see more GF businesses.

Had a cake made here for my birthday and it was delicious. Finally stopped in-store and had various cookie flavors, a brownie, coffee cake and donut holes. All items were equally tasty. The clerk was helpful and another employee brought me and my mother complimentary water. "Bittersweet" is awesome for those with Celiac disease.

This is the BEST place ever! Just found it on my way through the Burnsville area and am SO greatful that I did!! The pizza is the best! The cookies and all the brownies and cakes are amazing! Even my daughter who isnt gluten free likes it :) Thank you Bittersweet! I will be a regular from now on! Susan Bezdicek

Bittersweet consistently has excellent products, but horrible customer service. The staff is almost always crabby and unaccommodating at best. Such a bummer. I LOVE their products; and like all gluten-free, they are outrageously expensive. It really stinks to drop a bunch a money and be treated so poorly.

Because I am allergic to corn as well as wheat, I cant eat most of their products. But their pancake mix is the best! My non-GF guests always ask for it when they stay over nite. I buy it 10 pounds at a time. I sure wish it were closer to me Eagan is a long way to drive.

Everything Ive eaten from here is amazing, doughnut holes, cupcakes, cake, cookies. They do not taste gluten free. When I purchased the cake I was very impressed with their service. They were very helpful in avoiding all the allergies we deal with.
