I was excited to find a GF bakery in the area and they have SO many different selections to choose from. I will say that overall, everything is very "gluten free," meaning you can definitely tell. There's a little extra oil, a little extra crumbliness, and not so much browning that is very tell tale of a GF item. I've seen some GF bakeries which were able to surpass those common "errors" so to speak, but unfortunately this was not one of them. Nevertheless, it was still a treat to be able to eat pastries without feeling a little poopie after (not literally...or is it?)
Biscuit with egg and cheese: VERY greasy but so delicious. Truly did have me feeling like I was eating a real egg-cheese biscuit, minus the crumbliness! The flavor was great!
Biscuit plain: It's very rare to find a GF Biscuit...I think the only other one I've ever found was in SC. You definitely want to toast these before you eat them, otherwise they're a bit like solid crumbly butter-things. Once toasted though...oh lawwwwwd have them with whatever you want or eat them plain! It's butter butter buttahhhhhhh all up in your mouth!
Red velvet donut hole: This was soft and pillowy; the perfect little cake donut and just the right size for a snack. I think they should've made a red velvet donut hole with cream cheese glaze, as with regular glaze it was more like a red-chocolate donut hole (which essentially is what is was), but it was still nice!
Cinnamon donut hole: This was a bit dry and overbaked; I was disappointed and did not finish this one as the texture was just off. I'm sure this isn't the norm considering the red velvet one was nice so feel free to try if you like cinnamon...
Sugar cookie: I've had some pretty not-so-great GF sugar cookies, but this place uses their signature GF crumbliness to their advantage with this one. These types of sugar cookies are supposed to be crumbly and slightly sweet, and this hit all the marks.
Sourdough roll: I'm not sure how sourdough rolls are supposed to be greasy, but this one left my fingers slippery! I didn't quite get the "sour"ness of the sourdough, but it was still a nice roll--I toasted it at home.
Everything bagel: It wasn't very bagel like--more like an everything greasy roll as I don't even remember there being a hold in the center. To be honest, it wasn't super memorable, but it wasn't bad (aside from the oil).
The other thing I have to mention is that you can smell oil when you walk into the bakery, like things have been frying in there. In fact, my bag of goodies smelled oily too. Not saying the place is bad, but it made me feel like I might be eating a ton of liquid fats in all my goodies. Usually at bakeries, I'll smell vanilla or cake or something instead. All in all, I like the variety and I like the items I got, but maybe I'll need to go another time and see if that oil smell was just that day?
