Incredible gluten free donuts! I didn't feel like I was eating a sad imitation of a donut. It was a delicious donut, full stop, and without any gluten. Coffee was also good. The foods look so interesting - all named after books. I want to return and try them! It's also nice to sit in the garden outside - the interior is a little tight, but good for friendly conversation.

Oh my goodness!! If you have not tried these donuts and pastries you are seriously missing out. My family and I are not gluten free but we still devoured these donuts. If I lived in the area I would be there daily My favorite was the pumpkin coffee donut with apple cider glaze but everything was incredible. I will definitely be back while I’m here! GO TRY IT!

Absolutely incredible Gluten Free entrees and dessert. A Cuban Panini with the chicken substitute is amazing. Our personal surprise was the Divine Comedy Panini, order this panini for an outstanding sandwich. Now to dessert, good luck choosing just one. Our personal favorite donut flavors in order are: Lemon Blueberry, Apple Crisp, Chocolate Peanut butter, Chocolate Cherry, and Apple Cider.

An absolute must stop for all riders and everyone else. The chicken bacon salad wafflewich was out of this world followed by incredible and unique donuts which at this point it's hard to call these donuts because it's quite literally something else! The lunch stop filled my tummy and cured my two day headache, I'm in disbelief. Oh and everything here is gluten free which I take means I can EAT MORE! :)) Ahmazing!

Up from Florida and found this place on Google when we searched for bakeries in the area. I have NEVER had gluten-free bakery items that did not crumble or have a taste to them that gives away they are gluten-free. Not only were her muffins and cakes and donuts tasty, but I would choose her bakery over any other gluten-filled option in town. Totally worth visiting. Wish we had something like this in Florida.

OUTSTANDING FOOD & CONVERSATION Neither myself nor wife are gluten free but we wanted to try this place out anyway. I wish we hadn't waited so long. Wazzas are amazing and so are the deserts! Gluten free or not you should check this place out!!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ I do wish they had a sign that you could read from both sides of the Street.

Stacy apologized because someone was in right before me and bought everything in her case. Fortunately she has some items right out of the oven because they were so good! She is very personable and great baker! So nice to have great gluten-free away from home!

Looking to “lunch” in Wellsboro, we decided to try the gluten-free fare at StacyKay’s. The tempting treats overcame our combined willpower so our first course was dessert, followed by the daily special, with a container of more treats to go with our morning coffee the following day. It was all delicious perfection! We especially enjoyed the Buffalo chicken soup and the sourdough bread panini entree. Truly a unique dining experience for ALL to enjoy.
