Kyra and I go way back. We’ve been friends for about 15 years—before she opened her award-winning bakeshop and even before she was GF! What started as a small operation in her home kitchen has grown into the Portland area’s top gluten-free bakery, located in Lake Oswego. Kyra has won The Food Network’s Cupcake Wars 4 times and came in 2nd place on her other two appearances on the show. She is truly talented and is The Queen of gluten-free baking. Kyra has also written a cookbook of gluten-free treats which I highly recommend, available in-store.
The menu features cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, muffins, savory galettes, cookies, cheesecake and espresso as well as breakfast and lunch items, available daily from 9am-4pm. Many items are dairy-free also and there are also vegan pastries available regularly, like the hot chocolate cupcake.
The cinnamon rolls are the BEST cinnamon rolls you will ever eat, GF or not. They are baked in a cupcake paper, topped with cream cheese frosting, and are super gooey and moist. Always heat it up for about 20 seconds in the microwave before eating. It must be eaten warm. Kyra’s cinnamon rolls are wildly popular and one of the best foods I’ve ever eaten.
