“ Amazing gluten free 4 layer cake. Never had a better cake. Delivered on time and gorgeous cake. ”
“ We're vegan and really enjoyed the dairy free/egg free chocolate lava cake, cookie sandwich, and lemon mini pie. SUCH a nice treat while in Little Rock! ”
“ Well now, if you need a bakery treat and gluten is not your friend this place has you covered. We purchased lemon cheese cake, s'more bar, strawberry tart and raspberry white chocolate loaf. Every treat was excellent. My favorite was the s'more bar. I liked the snap of the chocolate on it and the flavor was yummy. Well done Demsey's. Check it out, you will not be disappointed. ”
“ I've been coming to Dempsey since they opened and they are a God-send. I love their classic bread. When I toast it, it's as good or better than any bread I've ever had. Their rolls are fabulous, and I stuff my turkey with their dressing. Countless times I've ordered iced shortbread cookies for special occasions, and they've always accommodated whatever theme I suggested. These cookies taste better than any other decorated cookie I've had. Their cakes may be their weakest link. I love the proprietor, Paula. She has become a friend and her bakery is a labor of love to the community. Many area restaurants use her baked goods for GF patrons, and I am grateful for Dempsey Bakery! ”
“ Amazing Allergy Friendly bakery! Taste is amazing! Service is so friendly! I wish I had this in Waco! ”
“ Best bakery in Little Rock! This is the place we go for desserts for my son who is gluten/ dairy free. Local business and great people too! ”
“ We stopped by the Dempsey bakery after trying the gluten free hamburger buns they make for Big Orange. We are so glad we stopped. The owner was lovely and has a great variety of items which were marked for most major allergies. We tried the tiramisu which was gluten and dairy free and is amazing. My husband tried the Apple dairy and gluten free cupcake and said it was delicious. A great find for people with allergies looking for a treat. ”
“ This little bakery is as quaint as it gets! It's walking distance from the Capitol. We wandered in looking for some baked goods to bring home as gifts/souvenirs, and to our surprise, it's actually a gluten free bakery! Free street parking outside the store. The entire place is decorated in retro, 1950s-1960s decor with bright red tiles. It's spacious, open, and airy, and there are many smaller and larger tables to sit at and enjoy treats. They also make custom cakes and macarons which are displayed in the back wall. Though not absolutely gorgeous-looking pastries, I really enjoyed their lemon and pumpkin bread because of their moist and rich flavors. I bought a loaf of pumpkin bread home back to Texas and it was still fresh after a week in the fridge! They also have an array of cookies, brownies, and other goodies we weren't able to try. It is a bit pricier than your average bakery because it's gluten free (my small loaf of pumpkin bread was $8-9) but the goodies don't disappoint, and it's a good place to stop if you're touring the area. ”
