Sweet Diplomacy® Gluten-Free - Los Altos, California

J H

I think this is literally the best cupcake bakery in South Bay Area.
I was skeptical but they 100% changed my perception about Gluten-free pastries. Yes, they have more than just cupcake, their bakery chef is super innovative, and they always have some “surprise” new assortment on selective days, cream puff, all sorts of pies, cookies, cornbread, you name it and it might be your lucky day.
But about cupcakes: I kept coming back every week for their cupcakes, I shouldn’t but sorry gym…..their cupcakes are worth it.
The sponge is airy and bouncy, not the typical damp texture, huge ⭐️! And their frosting is light as a cloud, creamy with a hint of fruity sweetness, this is what a perfect cupcake should be! (Ok I really don’t like sugar icing kind of cupcake)
They have a very cozy & beautiful outdoor seating area, if you want to grab a quick bite, their drinks are also good! Try their London Frog Lavender latte, you won’t regret it😊

Park at one of the downtown parking lot, easy walk to bakery.

The baked goods are pretty good. A lot of nut free, gluten free, and vegan options. The flavor is good and not too sweet. But for the regular folks, probably something a little less "free" would be more enjoyable?

Anyway, this place is not bad, but if I am going for sweets, I want it a little naughty!

Veg / Vegan review 🌱:

1. Cappuccino (5/5): out of the world! Comes in the cutest cup, I got mine with soy and they don’t charge extra.

2. Vegan Brownie (3/5): love it, but very generic tasting. On the dark chocolate side else I’d rate it 2/5.

3. Vegan cupcake, New York: (4.5/5): chocolate on dark chocolate. Omg yummy. I rarely like cupcakes this is awesome.

4. Vegan chocolate cake: (5/5): Phenomenal, a bit dense and too heavy but amazing.

Loved it. I went to just have one takeout and ended up taking a few and I didn't regret. Best part is the creame they make. It's at perfect level of sweetness. Usually other places make it too sweet which makes me feel not wanting a second bite. I was surprised to see myself finishing the whole piece in one sitting.

Excellent service as well. I was few minutes late and the lady at the counter was patient and answered my questions around
Different flavors.

As much as I wanted to love this place (as I am always of gluten free and vegan baked items and was really looking forward to visiting this place and make it a regular) I am sad to say that I was a little disappointed during my first visit here.
Good things first - Welcoming people, lovely GF Vegan Cupcake (both the cake and the topping were really good) and decent bakers mocha and hot chocolate
Things I wish will be improved -
Blueberry muffin - need more flavor in this. It was a little bland and the texture was quite crumbly as well.
Cinnamon bun - it was like a cake the day we visited instead of how it is supposed to be (the website picture also suggests something different than what we got) but the problem was that it was also a little hard , lacked flavors and warmth that we generally associate with a cinnamon bun.
Coffee Cake - hard and lacked a bit of flavor too.

Overall - I will definitely visit the place again for GF Vegan Cupcakes but I would love for other items to become as good as well!

I was super excited to try this bakery. Upon arriving it was basically cleaned out and we were informed I guess they don’t restock flavors throughout the day? That was cool I figured I’d try the chocolate strawberry cupcake. I was immediately disappointed upon the first bite. The cake part was incredibly stale and the frosting just tasted like whipped butter. I really wanted to like it but I’ve had some really good gluten free cupcakes and this was not it unfortunately. Try it if you’re around and we if it’s your vibe. Also the shop is super tiny so only a few people can stand inside to order sr a time.

This is the best gluten free bakery I've gone to and we've been picking up treats since shortly after they opened in 2020! We've ordered baby shower cupcakes, birthday cakes, walked in and they changed the icing color for a baby gender reveal video, and we've pretty much tried every baked good they make. We absolutely love the atmosphere, customer service and of course, the delicious gluten free treats! I truly can't recommend them enough.

This place is just amazing, I was looking for a gluten free bakery nearby and this place came up first in my search that serves everything gluten free. I placed an order online for brownies and chocolate chip cookies to pick up in store. After going in store, I also grabbed cupcakes. All the bakery items tasted extremely rich in quality and flavors. I brought the bakery items home for my wife as it was our 2 months wedding anniversary and she absolutely loved em all, we are going to make an in person visit soon again to try more items, please don’t miss out on visiting this place.
