5b's Bakery

Definitely worth the stop on the way to North Cascades. Everything was gluten free and they had great meal options not just baked goods/ pastries. Service was great. Cute little bakery/cafe vibes.

Great place to start your adventure on Highway 20. So many choices to choose from and gluten-free. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful.

What a gem in the middle of no where! Everything is gluten free. There are some dairy free options but limited (would love to see more!). I got the snickerdoodle cookie and carrot cake cupcake (both dairy free). The carrot cake cupcake is the best I've had since going gluten free 9 years ago. It was soft, moist and flavorful. Icing was a little sweet but I just scraped some off. Snickerdoodle cookie was good. My husband got the crème puff and bread pudding. He loved both and the filling was generous in the crème puff. Neither were dry. Hope to pass again on our way back to Seattle.We returned today 10/16 and it was beginning of the day so the case was full! Unfortunately, the dairy free options did not change :( we did order breakfast from the kitchen. Eggs and bacon for me and hubby got the seasonal pumpkin streusel waffles. He said they were the best he's ever had in his life including before he was gluten free.

We don't do GF but wanted a cup of coffee and stumbled in. Good coffee and the cinnamon rolls were good!Very nice staff, cozy place to sit and visit with locals.

Cinnamon roll was fantastic and chai latte was so good. Staff was very friendly! Selection of savory treats looks so good too, we will be back.

The service was great, so welcoming. They were very busy and apologized for the wait and offered a goodie. I was very happy because I couldn't make up my mind on 2 items and got them both!Really cute place with seating inside and out. Will be coming back to try the pot pies!

5b's is one of my favorite restaurants! This charming bakery has the best espresso drinks, pastries and service!! The food is fresh and tasty. 5b's has a relaxed, charming vibe with outside seating and an amazing view of the Cascade foothills. On this visit I had the cheesecake and latte. Their hand pies are also incredible. The servers Ellen and Bernie provided excellent service. I highly recommend this place for lunch, dessert or just an espresso!!

Yummy bakery items We had good chai latte and yummy pot pies and honey bun.Definitely worth trying.

Just stopped in here again on Sunday while in the area and to use a gift card we had won a bit back. This place is still consistently busy and the staff are all very friendly.My daughter had the Tomato Basil Soup with a side salad while my wife and I each had a quiche. We each had a coffee drink or a specialty espresso drink. I like my gluten but there are apparently a lot of folks that don't need or want it. Our quiche was tasty and the coffee drinks were good. There are a LOT of items in the cooler to purchase and take home for later including pot pies, pasta dishes and desserts and all of it gluten free.Nice place to try when in Concrete.

The first thing to know about 5B's is that it is a cute-as-a-button local hub, and a great place to start a day if you're in the area. The coffee is good, the service is excellent and friendly, and they have great items for sale, especially if you are shopping for gifts for coffee lovers.The next thing to know is that their bakery offerings are gluten free, and may not be what you expect, flavor and texture-wise. I'd steer away from the cookies and cake desserts, unless you're really into that sort of thing. Dry, sandy textures await you, often as not. Filled and creamy options, like cheesecake, would be a better bet.If you're into gluten avoidance, this could be your jam. But stop in anyway - a cool cafe and shop, for sure.
