This place is pretty freakin' awesome! I first discovered this gluten free brand in 2015 when I was visiting a jobsite in Detroit. I had no idea they had a storefront, I searched and searched for more of their items to no avail. Two years later I am back in Detroit for a jobsite and staying in Livonia (seriously don't stay in downtown Detroit, it's not safe!) and I discover I am 2 miles from a store called Rumi's-What was that you say Yelp? Am I in heaven? My first stop the next day after work is Rumi's and I am not at all disappointed in what I find in store. They have a few regular packaged gluten free goods you can get at a grocery store but they carry lot's of items she makes in store and guess what? Most of the items are nightshade free! (that means potato starch free people). I am beyond elated at this point, I buy at least 6-7 packages of different things, jelly coffee cake, jelly filled turnovers, muffins, fruit bars, cheesecake...I went a little crazy yes. But I have never been to a gluten free bakery that has the jelly filled turnovers I oh so miss from my gluten filled days. Everything from here actually has flavor, it's not dry and it doesn't taste like cardboard.
I flew home with most of the items and Jason was not disappointed either. We both wished (per the usual) that Kansas City had anything like this. I have now made Rumi's a monthly stop while I am in Detroit for work, hopefully the work with this client keeps rolling in so I can get my monthly gluten free bakery fix.
It's worth a stop, even if it's 15 minutes out of your way.
Did I mention the prices? I am used to spending at least $40 minimum when I go to a GF bakery, the first time I went and bought everything I mentioned above my total was $24 and some change, I almost asked the girl if she rang everything up correctly. I love the fact that the owner isn't trying to gouge people who were born/inherited an allergy they have ZERO control over. Thank you Owner of Rumi's, you are truly a blessing to the gluten free community.
I have also overheard them say they make made to order sandwiches on all days except Tuesday, may be worth checking out.
