Posh Pop Bakeshop
7.6
A dedicated gluten-free dessert stop that’s perfect for celebration add-ons—cookie boxes, brownies, cake pops, and seasonal pies—without the usual substitution aftertaste. The Times Square outpost is a grab-and-go play; you’re here to stock up, not linger. Strong pick when you want sweets that are confidently gluten-free, not “gluten-free for now.”

Logistics & Planning
Parking: No on-site parking. Street parking is extremely limited in Times Square; nearby garages are the realistic option and can be expensive.
Dress code: Casual—this is a grab-and-go bakery. Anything from work clothes to tourist wear fits.
Noise level: High outside due to Times Square foot traffic; inside is brief and functional rather than conversational.
Weekend wait: No real dinner rush—expect a short line (5–10 minutes) during peak tourist hours.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or just a couple of minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most items are vegetarian-friendly desserts.
Vegan options: Limited—select items only; availability can vary by day.
Gluten-free options: Yes—dedicated gluten-free bakery with no wheat-based substitutions.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a sit-down date—it’s best as a quick dessert stop or a sweet add-on after dinner rather than a place to linger.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no table service or reservations—this is strictly order-at-the-counter and take it to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—very kid-friendly treats like cookies, brownies, and cake pops, though there’s no seating or kids’ amenities.
Best For
Better for: Dedicated gluten-free desserts that taste intentional, plus easy gifting boxes and celebration-ready sweets.
Skip if: You want coffee service, seating, or a quiet bakery experience—choose a cafe-style gluten-free spot instead.
