 Your bakery is very good. Thank you for making me not go crazy following the Celiac's Diet and again able to enjoy my sweets.

I received an order from you Friday. It was a great way to ring in the New Year! My daughter has been so excited eating her donuts with sprinkles, and the cinnamon rolls are wonderful! We have a few more things to try, but so far everything is really good and a great gluten-free treat! Thank you!

I wish I lived closer to enjoy every week. I ordered and had it shipped. You're awesome and I truly enjoyed all of the bakery! I finally feel like I didn't have to give up taste when I was diagnosed with Celiac's. Thank you!

I was recently diagnosed with IBS, and trying a gluten-free diet has really helped. As a hungry college teen, I've been very frustrated with switching over to a gluten-free diet. My dad and I stumbled upon The Silly Yak Bakery this morning and I am in LOVE. Your pizza crust is delicious! Thank you for making good-tasting, gluten-free products that even a ravenous teen can eat!

I just wanted to thank you for making my Christmas a lot easier to tolerate with my Celiac's. Your bakery was awesome and very delicious. I am recommending you to all my friends here in Illinois that suffer from allergies. I wish you were closer for me to just come into your bakery and buy things on a regular basis. I will be ordering again. Thank you so much!

I got my order last night and was so excited! The cookies are just beautiful and delicious too. And my blueberry scone was a real treat this morning. Looking forward to eating the rest of my stash, but hoping I can make it last a little while at least. Thanks so much, Silly Yak!

Hi Holly,
I was in on Tuesday and got a loaf of sourdough. Susan and I tasted it and loved it!
Some comments:
Having lived in the San Francisco Bay area for a number of years (pre-gluten-free), I missed the sourdough bread (as has been obvious!). Your bread took a giant step towards fulfilling my yearning. I can't deny that it's not the same as the "real deal" out there, but you came a long way. The texture is probably the biggest difference. Susan really liked the texture (we toasted it), and so did I.
Bottom line: I REALLY like what you've created, Holly, and I will eagerly be buying it regularly. Thank you for your efforts and for finally achieving it!

Thank you! I just received my order.
I had a loaf of your bread that my parents purchased on a recent visit to Minnesota. I have searched around to find the classic rice here in Florida as I had given up having anything with taste for the past several years. I have tried all kinds of breads from every gluten-free store I could find with no success of finding something with texture and taste and not weighing ten pounds per loaf.
I opened my package and ate a snickerdoodle right away. In reading others comments, people without celiac disease take wonderful taste in baked goods for granted! I could not believe it was gluten-free as it tasted so normal! It was fabulous. I have not had cookies for years as most are very gritty. The cinnamon swirl bread was heavenly, especially toasted. :) I actually had a peanut butter sandwich for lunch today as well.
Please continue with these marvelous products. I will be checking out your site for other products as well!
Thank you cannot express remotely what a blessing you are to those of us with celiac disease...

I have heard about your bakery for a long time, but had never made the move to get some of your items. I saw your booth at the Madison farmers' market and bought a few things. IT BLEW ME AWAY! I had the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich with your spinach and feta bread, enjoyed a scone for breakfast as I walked the market, and have been eating toast for breakfast this week like a "normal" person! I tried the honey rice and spinach/feta breads, lemon poppy seed muffin, and blueberry scone. All were incredible. Thank you thank you thank you!

I just bought your bread from Fresh and Natural Foods in Hudson, WI, today and had the garlic cheese bread with my spaghetti tonight and it was AMAZING! Can't wait to try the cinnamon swirl bread for breakfast tomorrow! Now I'm going to try and convince Tailor Made Nutrition to start carrying your products too! :)

Your bread products are absolutely wonderful! Healthy, nutritious, tasty, and of excellent quality. I began with trial size of three kinds of hamburger buns and then narrowed it down and ordered bread and buns. Also, I have contacted two other acquaintances regarding your products and they are excited and interested.
Also, thank you for the honesty in shipping costs. I saved $3.00 last time using Spee-Dee.

I was so excited last weekend to find your store just about a half a mile from where we were staying at the Hampton. Had it not been for a wrong turn attempting to get to the Trek Store, I would have missed you. I purchased two loaves of bread, a sugar cookie mix, a jalapeño cheddar roll and a tie-dye T-shirt! I know this sounds funny, but I walked out of there with tears in my eyes after having found a bakery that provided high-quality, good-tasting bread!
Thanks again for doing what you do! I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that it means the world to me!

When I did my monthly shopping there, you had Bavarian Bread. I have to say, it was awesome. I have not had a Reuben sandwich in about 7 years. I got all my GF ingredients together and made the most delicious sandwich ever. Thank you for making all the GF items you do. You make life so close to normal for us who suffer from celiac/gluten intolerance. Thank you so much. See you in August!

I purchased a GF lemon burst cookie at the Farmers' Market today. OMG it was wonderful. If this was an experiment for a new flavor, GREAT job! I think your GF products are evolving with time. Thank you again.

I thought you might like to hear this story. I was at an event last night that served cake. Three of your little square gluten-free cakes were served alongside "regular" sheet cakes, homemade. Several people who are not gluten-intolerant had a piece of both and declared that your cake was better than the regular cake!

I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart and stomach for such DIVINE products. I had been a very non-compliant gluten-free patient before I found your site on a random search. I have never tasted such wonderful gluten-free baked goods and the selection is over the moon. I have shared and told everyone I know about your bakery (those that are gluten-free and those that are not) and all just LOVE your products. Thank you again for such special treats. I am a customer for LIFE.
PS: It wasn't EASY sharing but your products are SO good I could not keep them all to myself.

I found your website by doing an internet search. I recently ordered a loaf of bread and some muffins. Everything was amazing. I live in a small town in northeast Ohio and we don't have any local bakeries that make gluten-free bakery. I will definitely be ordering again from you. I have been without bakery for so long and you can't tell that your muffins are gluten-free. They were soft and delicious. I just wanted to write and let you know that you guys are awesome and it is nice to find a bakery that makes awesome fresh gluten-free goodies. Thank you.

When I did a search for gluten-free cookies back in November, your cookie page came up and I saved it to my "Favorites" for future use. I ventured into your "Bakery Bundles" for the first time last week. This morning I took a few minutes to peruse your entire site. I didn�t realize that you are a certified gluten-free establishment... and a woman-owned business as well. Kudos x 2!
By the way, I also sent my nephew in California (who had been taken off gluten during some allergy tests) a dozen cookies in his Christmas box. It turns out he is not allergic to wheat, etc., but he told me to feel free to send Silly Yak cookies any time. Quite a compliment from that self-proclaimed "cookie connoisseur."

I received my order on Wednesday. I have to tell you that I couldn't get the box opened fast enough! It had been weeks since I'd had a sandwich or toast, and the smell of cheddar and onion coming from the bread was so enticing I rushed to the kitchen to get out my toaster! I slathered the bread with butter, sat back and thoroughly enjoyed! The taste of your cheddar onion bread was fabulous and I sort of felt like I was eating a toasted bagel! Thank you so much for all of your help! Can't wait to try more of your yummy bakery goods :)

I had the pleasure of tasting one of your bakery's rice buns yesterday at The Cookery in Fish Creek. It was the first time since my diagnosis that I have been able to have a sandwich without feeling punished. I am very excited to receive my order and share with my mom as she is unable to have gluten as well. We used to have a tradition of eating cinnamon rolls on Thanksgiving morning but have not been able to do so with pleasure for years due to gluten-free recipes tasting so bad. I am excited to enjoy your cinnamon rolls Thanksgiving morning after reading the testimonials on your website.

Thanks SO much for your extra effort on my daughter's birthday package. I know it took a lot from you to put together exactly what I ordered as quickly as you did, but I wanted you to know you made the day for an 18-year-old far from home! She says everything arrived safely, and tastes great! Thanks!

You are doing a marvelous job. My wife and I went on a family trip. As we came home there was an odd shape hanging from our front door handle. Low and behold there was a loaf of bread hanging on the door knob. My wife's partner is also a massage therapist and she and her husband battle celiac disease also. Kim was in Madison on a business trip and decided to patronize your store. Thoughtfully enough, she bought a loaf for me and I thought I died and went to heaven. I eagerly opened up the package and the fresh aroma of the Tomato Basil Feta Bread was divine. I didn't get my hopes up, because I know from the last 6 years how bad these gluten-free breads can taste. Surprisingly enough, the taste was magnificent and matched the smell. I will continue to order bread for the rest of my life. Thank you for satisfying the needs of a specific group of people. Although my wife and kids love it, I tell them to stay away from Dad's bread and get their own.

Thank you for caring about the millions of people with gluten problems.
I received your muffins promptly and in time for my Memorial Day plans. I have a 91-year-old father who has been gluten-free for several years. He truly enjoyed your muffins. I also gave a few to some of my dearest friends at church and have shared your address with them. They too are very pleased with your products.
I am now going to give my dad this next order for Father's Day. I am sure he will be delighted.
Thank you again.

I received my box. I love the bread... awesome... and also my cookies. Waiting to have pizza crust. It is awesome to be able to order online, and it was here in no time. There are a lot of times I don't get close to buy my products, so I appreciate it. Being celiac has been a challenge; you just made it fun again. Thank you.

I don't know how to express what I feel about eating your Cherry Chocolate Scone just now! I have been gluten intolerant for several years and feel so much better keeping my diet gluten-free. Slowly, but surely, I have found various items to substitute for things I used to enjoy. However, none of the baked goods quite made it (even the mixes my mom or I baked up) — until today!
My uncle sent me a box for Easter and I am in heaven! I had just returned from grocery shopping, where I was bemoaning the lack of fresh baked treats. Even at the health food store, it was just so-so. Now I feel satisfied and happy!
I will be ordering some goodies for myself in the future. Thank you for all your hard work.

I was very impressed with the Cinnamon Swirl Bread as my toast this morning. I usually only eat one piece of toast, but after having one, I went and made another one! Wow, was that good! Had not had a piece of toast like that in awhile.

Yesterday I got my first order from your bakery. I have to say how impressed I am by the buns. I just ate your Chocolate Caramel Muffin and it was pure heaven. Having this disease is so hard and this discovery has just added new flavor levels to our food experience. I thank you. I just placed a bread order yesterday can't wait to get that.

Just wanted to thank you for baking such goodies! All of your breads I've tried to date (spinach feta, amaranth, cinnamon swirl, cheddar jalapeño, cinnamon bun) are fantastic, both in taste and in texture. And you just can't beat the prices. When will you open a branch in Chicago!?!? A city of 3 million has got to have some hungry celiacs floating around...

Just wanted you to know I got my order of Holly's Health Bread, scones, and cookies. They are fantastic. I had given up on trying any kind of bread ever again because they were all so bad. After having my first slice of bread, I wanted to eat the whole loaf. It's been about eight months since I have had bread. The cookies are so good they seem to melt in your mouth. I will definitely be ordering again and trying many more products. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I just got my package today — right before lunch and the timing was perfect. I had to sample a little bit of almost everything I ordered. The Bavarian Bread was absolutely fantastic with Swiss cheese and tomato, and the Multi-Seed Montina, Holly's Health Bread, and Tomato Basil Feta Buns were all superb. These items are so much more like "real food" than any of the store-bought gluten-free breads available at my college. I am so glad to have found your bakery. Even though it is a long way to ship items, I think it is definitely worth it. Plus, all my items came in great condition. Surviving college gluten-free will be so much easier now! Thanks so much!

I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful bakery items that I received on Thursday. I am new to the gluten-free environment and it is really encouraging to find breads, muffins, and scones that taste good. I look forward to trying more of your items as time goes on. Thanks again.
The Cherry Chocolate Scone was absolutely wonderful.

I just received my order today. I got a loaf of the Buckwheat Bread and it is wonderful! I am 29 and just found out that I am gluten intolerant. I was so disappointed in the other gluten-free breads that I refused to use them and have been making sandwiches using lettuce leaves instead of bread. The first thing I did when I got my bread was toast it and put grape jelly on it. It was absolute heaven! Thank you so much for having a bakery for people like me that has such quality products. I can't wait to order more stuff!

I'm not ordering anything right now because I'm on strict orders not to eat rice, corn, or lactose on top of the other gluten-filled yumminess, but I just wanted to say thank you for having such a bakery. I went to your website, saw the photos, and seriously, tears came to my eyes. As soon as (if ever) I am allowed to eat good food again, I will be putting in a huge order and gorging myself of sweet goodies! My online celiac and GF friends speak wonders of your bakery! Thanks for caring for us broken people and having a bakery with such thoughtful goodies!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!! I have not been eating bread since diagnosed with CD almost 3 years ago! Everything I have eaten was awful (can I say "cardboard, sawdust, etc."?). I saw your website a month or two ago and decided to give you a try. Your bakery items are wonderful! I sat down and ate a sandwich as soon as my order came in and my husband laughed at me because you would have thought I was eating a gourmet meal (like lobster) by the way I raved on and on about your bread (and it was just a ham and cheese!) I am so happy I found your website. Thank you.

I got the package today! So far I have had one of the chocolate chip cookies and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for everything. It's been forever since I've had a decent cookie. I will definitely keep you guys in mind for my further baked good purchases. You are doing a wonderful job. It was way more than I expected and I can't thank you enough. My boyfriend is going to sample the snickerdoodles for me, and I will definitely be talking about you at the next celiac support group meeting I go to. Thank you for your generosity!

We received our order today and it was like Christmas around here. It is my 5-year-old daughter who is gluten-free. I only wish you and your staff could be on this end to experience the joy and excitement that the food you bake brings to her world. I know that it is "only" food; however, because you are involved in the baking process of this diet, I know you know that this goes way beyond "only" food — and she is JUST 5 years young. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this diet. Thank you for providing these foods, especially for my daughter who for a while thought roast, potatoes, carrots, and eggs were going to be her only foods. From the bottom of my "motherly" heart, thank you. Keep up the good work and you will see my name come across again. Now, I have pie to slice for my girl and I suppose you have baking to do. Have a wonderful day.

THANK YOU for making GREAT gluten-free bread!

Yours is the BEST gluten-free I have ever had! I won't be trying anyone else's anymore. THANK YOU for such a great product.

Good morning, Holly and staff. Just a note to let you know how much we are enjoying the raspberry gluten-free scones and oatmeal raisin cookies. Also, oh my gosh, the bread! All the bread I've ordered tastes like real bread. We haven't had good bread for a whole year, since eating gluten-free. You are awesome! Keep up the good work and I'll be ordering again soon.
PS: Everything is packaged so nicely and nothing arrived broken or smashed!
Judy D.
Several years ago, my elderly mother was diagnosed with celiac disease. We've tried to find GF breads and pastries that she enjoyed and found very few that she liked. So I was thrilled when she told me that she LOVED the Breakfast Bundle that I ordered to be shipped to her home in Florida. She said that the coffee cake was just like the "real thing" and she really enjoys the cinnamon swirl bread. I'll surely be ordering from you again! Thanks so much for making such a fine product.
Janice P.
I have tried them all and this is absolutely the best GF bread I have had. The cookies are extremely good as well. This bread smells and tastes like regular wheat bread. It is good untoasted or toasted. It is fresh. The others have a texture and taste comparable to styrofoam; this, well I wanted to stand on the front porch and yell to the world how wonderful this bread is. You must try it to believe it. I will highly recommend this to all I know, and cannot praise it enough!
Sandi B.
My daughter Karen arranged a means for us to obtain your cookies and brownies through the mail and end years of longings! I have been suffering pangs of hunger for four years (diagnosed with celiac disease) and passing a bakery shop was sheer torture since then. I have YOU to thank for my freedom.
Jack G.
 Just wanted to say thank you. Your baked goods are delicious! I shared some of them with a friend who is also wheat intolerant. We LOVED everything. (She didn't get to try the brownie. I ate both of them the day I received them. Oh, well.) I really wanted to let you know that I actually ate an entire loaf of bread — probably the first one since before I was diagnosed with celiac. I just haven't liked the bread — until now! I ate the entire loaf of cinnamon swirl bread in a couple of days. I even used it as the bread for a hamburger. (Okay, cinnamon and hamburger is a strange combination, but it worked.) I will be placing another order soon. Thanks again for all of your hard work!
Judi R.
Thank you for baking such wonderful bread for those of us who have an allergy to gluten. I have been looking for good bread since realizing I was allergic to gluten almost two years ago. Your bread is incredible and I am back to being able to eat sandwiches and toast. This is why I want to share your bread with my niece in New York. She has been gluten-free for a number a years. I think she will enjoy your products as much as I do.
Micky H.
Just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful baked goods. Eating them is the first time since I was diagnosed that I haven't been upset and bitter about the disease. After I was diagnosed, my sister told me that once I forgot what normal baked goods tasted like, I would be fine. I am so glad I don't have to wait until I forget in order to enjoy good food. Yours is the only bread I have had that tastes like real bread and your cookies are amazing. You are the best and I am so grateful to had some of your foods.
Jessica N.
I just wanted to write you all and tell you how much I appreciate everything you guys do. One year ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease and without your awesome products, I would've gone insane! I've tried so many other bakeries and none of them can even compare to your stuff! It's so hard to comprehend that you can never have certain things ever again, but when you have amazingly wonderful substitutes, it makes it sooo much easier. I wish you so much success!
I wish I could attach a picture of the birthday cake I made from your cakes. It was sooo wonderful! Everyone loved it!
OK! Enough gushing!
Thanks again!
Kelsea T.
My mom is 85 years old and was diagnosed at least 20 years ago with celiac disease. She has lost 20 pounds in the past year and has said that she "just doesn't enjoy eating anymore." This is a woman who at age 84 was still riding a bike, has about 5 volunteer jobs, and is extremely active. Watching her just eating rice cakes every day and having to live on Immodium at times when she just tries to eat a "normal" meal was very sad to watch. She had tried some hideous rice bread in the past and as a senior citizen was horrified with the cost. I saw all the great reviews for your bread on the Gluten Solutions site, bought her 3 loaves, and she is hooked! You would have thought that I had given her a million dollars. She was so thrilled! Just to be able to eat a sandwich again or to have toast with her tea in the morning has been a total joy to her! I can't thank you enough for that! I wanted to write and thank you for your efforts in making quality, great-tasting GF baked goods. I got my first shipment from you today and already I'm thinking about what to order next time. Everything is great. So good and so fresh. I've tried so many other products along the way, just to end up disappointed in the end. I just wanted to say thanks.
