Green Goodies Bakery OKC

This was from the Edmond location. The gluten-free vegan cupcakes were really good.
Got a variety to try since it was my first time in.
They were all moist with good spring to the crumb had a texture similar to the normal thing.
The frostings had flavors you would expect, mostly.
However, I have zero confidence in being able to serve these to anyone with food intolerances and forget anyone with allergies. The kitchen was open and very clean, so while cross contamination could happen I didn't see anything that sparked my concern from a preparation cleanliness side.
But it could happen as they do use AP wheat flour so true Coeliacs need to be ware. My biggest frustration is other then general broad labels for vegan and gluten free nothing is clearly labeled, not with what it is (ding dong or cinnamon roll/snickerdoodle?) or with the ingredients.
One cupcake had an amareto flavor I wasn't expecting, and another I thought would have hints of ginger had none.
And the rest of the selections were handled with an arm wave as being ok.
I try to trust my servers, but when the regular versions look exactly the same, I get worried.
Espically, when the cases are similarly as full. I took the risk for a treat (and I have intolerances more than allergies), but there is no way I could recommend this lack of clarity to someone managing their health with food avoidance. I don't know if they used a flax egg or aquafaba, or a starch fake egg.
IDK if potato or corn are used in the mix, or if it is coconut and cassava.
Probing for more information was not very helpful when I called the OKC store or asked at this store. Gluten-free friendly and vegan are a nice niche for people on volountary diets, but the current lack of detailed labeling makes this bakery a real dice game for anyone with genuine health issues stemming from food intolerances/allergies.
Until they share their formulas, more specifically and openly, and train their staff to answer questions more readily without playing 20 questions, anyone with allergies and intolerances should stear clear. I am really sad writing this review because I really want to see more gluten-free and vegan options that taste this good.
The product was really spectacular, and they deserve their rave reviews and awards! But right now, this labeling/training problem makes this bakery fit into a fad niche and not a solution to enjoying treats with health affecting intolerances.

Update 11/01/2023: I didn’t think I could love this place more than I do but, they have so many options for vegan/gluten-free and the taste is so delicious despite the dietary restrictions!! I prefer the gf desserts, they are absolutely so moist, I couldn’t even tell it was gf!! Why are there not more of these in the city?! They always have something for everyone! Try the coffee cake and cookie sandwiches, or one of everything!! Original Review: I love the gluten and dairy free options! Always go here when I am in the city !

Amazing and totally nut free! That’s a big deal when you have a little one with nut allergies.
We can now walk into a bakery together and I can let him choose what looks yummy (something that a kiddo with a nut allergy typically can’t do!) it makes us feel normal and safe.
The owner is so kind! We will be ordering bday cakes from here from now on.
It’s DELICIOUS!
