Erin McKenna's Bakery

"We decided to try this place as we pass it by whenever we’re at Disney Springs. We shared a coffee crumb cake, and I was disappointed. It was dry and dense. The frosting was tough and stale. It was costly too, at $~11 for the slice (as of Feb 2024). The service was fine, the shop was a little tight, and a few bakery items looked as if they had been sitting there for a while. It wasn’t until I started to write this review when I found out that, according to their website, “every single item is kosher and refined sugar-, gluten-, wheat-, soy-, dairy- and egg-free”. While I’m glad there is a place for people with these allergies to indulge in something sweet, it just wasn’t for us."

"I, and several of my family members are GF/DF/EF, nut free, and some other various allergy items free. The idea of this bakery and location was great. The implementation is less than stellar. Having eaten good GF/DF/EF and top 8 free bakery items at other bakeries I know it can be done better. The bakery items were dense and not flavorful. We tried the pineapple upside down cake, caramel brownie, tiramisu brownie, vanilla cupcake, chocolate cupcake, whoopee pie, cookie monster cupcake, chocolate donuts, strawberry cupcake, brownie bomb cupcake, vanilla cake, cinnamon rolls, and carrot cake. The cinnamon rolls were dense but had good flavor, probably the best thing we tried. All of the sponge tasted the same and was quite dense and stodgy. The strawberry frosting was tart, but nice. The tiramisu frosting tasted like coffee and was good. The rest of the frosting was all plain. I have never had carrot cake that didn't have carrots and cream cheese based frosting. The icing on the items was all beautifully done. I would never eat here again due to how poor the food is. The prices were as expected for allergen friendly food. The food just wasn't good. It's a small counter so all items are take away. Service was quick, staff were friendly enough. The website made a big deal about cute uniforms but they were just plain pink sweats, they did look comfortable. Overhyped, under delivered."

"This place is pricey, alternative baking ingredients are expensive, but if you’re gluten free, this is a must stop if you’re in the Disney area. It’s pretty small and usually busy, so the pressure is on when it’s your turn at the counter, so much to choose from and so little time! But any of the cupcakes are a solid choice, donuts are pretty yummy, and there are some delicious cookies too."

"I live in WI and I’m vegan. The struggle is real. I cannot emphasize enough how ecstatic I was to find this bakery. My vacation was coming to a close in Orlando and I went out of my way to stop here. I’m talking…running out of the parking structure and hustling to find it so I could have bakery for the ride back. We do not have a bakery like this in the Midwest. I was so overjoyed that I went in there knowing I was going to load up on delicious bakery to take back with me. I even purchased a T-shirt because I want to proudly represent any bakery that is vegan in this country. Customer service: 5/5 The ladies were absolutely lovely. So friendly. So kind. So helpful! They were very welcoming and I enjoyed being in the bakery. Atmosphere/ambiance: 5/5 I love the vibe in this bakery. It is so welcoming and so cool. Bakery: 2/5 This part pains me. I did purchase a shirt to represent the bakery. I did not have an opportunity to sample anything as they do not offer samples that I am aware of. I cannot believe I’m saying this, but the few coffee shops I frequent in WI make vegan bakery items that are far better than this. Shocking! My husband and I left with over $50 in bakery and I forced it down. Most of the bakery tasted the same regardless of what it was. The cupcake tasted like the brownie, and the brownie tasted like the cookie. No flavor. Reminded me of cornbread. Very dry and the frosting was very odd. I will likely not return if in FL again. However, I will probably wear their shirt because they are making an effort to provide vegan bakery. I support that."

"The taste is good and the staff is extremely nice but the prices are insane. A very small donut is almost $6. I paid $20 for two cookies. Also if it’s a hot day and you’re not going to eat it immediately don’t bother. Wait til you are leaving. The icing completely melted and was a liquid."
