Easily some of the best gluten free donuts I’ve ever had! I have been a guinea pig of all things g-free for the last 15 years, so I can state confidently that the donuts I had yesterday are some of the most delicious, and tasty G-free treats I’ve had. The cherry on top was the amazing service. I didn’t catch the guys named that helped, but he was so pleasant, attentive and just seemed genuinely happy to serve, and that means a lot to me. Keep up the amazing work HYW! You’re my families new go-to spot!!!
Once upon a time, there were a couple donut shops with gluten free options. Then the pandemic killed them. In other words they brainlessly decided to stop making gluten free donuts. Then there was LeBerry, a wonderful little spot with a selection of gluten free options including incredible croissants. When I went to find them this time, their name had changed. They said, “Hello.” I said, “...wait everything is gluten free?” They said, “you’re welcome.” And the rest is history. Try the breakfast sandwich muffin things. Incredible.
This is an amazing place! The passion fruit doughnut was so delicious, the texture was perfect, you couldn’t even tell that’s a gluten free doughnut. And on the top of it it was beautiful! The service also was excellent! They were listening patiently while my son told the whole story how we found out that he has celiac and how much he wanted to eat a good dessert finally. Thank you! You guys are great! We definitely will be back soon!
We love Hello You’re welcome! It’s such a charming space and the donuts are absolutely deliciousness! They offer gluten free/vegan donuts that are so good! Exotic flavors and just the right size. We’ve had a sandwich here as well, we’re vegan so we love that they offer options for vegans. Thank you!!
Hello, A must stop when in Pasadena. Everything is organic, gluten free and tasted GREAT. They serve excellent vegan dishes too. From breakfast and lunch sandwiches (available certain times of the day) and their spectacular donuts! Seasonal ones too. Coffee and Matcha rocks as well. Service with a smile and detailed knowledge of their ingredients if you have any allergies. Cannot wait till I return!
I went just before closing and bought three donuts. The donuts are small, kinda tasty, but the texture was dense. A couple of them were gluten-free, which explains a lot and one was vegan. They sell regular donuts as well. I didn’t realize I was getting gluten-free and vegan and what I made my choice. They’re on the expensive side six dollars for each donut so I tried it. I probably won’t go back but if you need gluten-free and you’re a vegan, this place is perfect for you. Since I’m handicapped, I parked in a loading zone and they were kind enough to bring the donuts out to the car for me.
I absolutely love going to Hello You’re Welcome! Their vegan donuts are amazing, I always grab several whenever I stop by! The woman who helped us was also very kind. 10/10 customer service and food, would highly recommend!
This place serves seriously good espresso coffee. It also has more than cakes and donuts. I had a delicious vegan veggie sandwich which was packed with fillings. My companion had a breakfast muffin made with almond flour. We were too full to sample any of the yummy looking cakes and donuts, many of which are gluten free. There’s indoor seating but not a lot of it in the airy space that mixes industrial chic with homely accents. The staff are friendly and helpful.
