I was super excited to go to Unrefined Bakery and it was literally the last thing I did before I went to the airport, leaving Dallas. The store front is small but well marked and parking available right up front. I entered the store and there was only one other customer in front of me. Fine, no big deal. I noted that the lady behind the counter was uber friendly with the previous customer ( and the customer after me as well). However, when it came my turn... maybe she was tired... I dont really know... but she seemed mildly standoffish. Nothing too serious, its just really the first time that I felt out of place ( perhaps not exactly welcome?) in a gluten free haven.
Anyway, I tried a sample of the brown velvet. Maybe, the non-sample version is different...However, the sample was a dry cupcake with slightly gritty unbuttercream frosting. I passed on buying that and instead went for the special. The special was like a vanilla cupcake with a brownie baked into the center and filled with a chocolate ganache. Glad I wasn't easily scared away, because this "special" was delicious. A moist cake/brownie and rich flavorful ganache, a gal couldn't ask for more.
I also was pleasantly surprised to see that Unrefined makes sandwiches. I got the toasted 5 grain, roast beef, with avocado, tomato, and spinach. The bread was lightly toasted and sturdy. Overall this sandwich really carried me through my later flight.
I would have given this place a 5, but the feeling that I wasn't exactly welcome in the store was a real deal breaker for me. Hopefully, your experience will be different, they really do have some great goodies!
