"Since you have opened I have made the trek from Ocean Beach to Encinitas several times and each time I am more impressed than the last. However, never in my gluten-free life did I ever expect to be able to have a slice of bread with butter again without some sort of bread manipulation (toasting, defrosting, cutting hard edges off, etc.). I know it sounds totally cheesy but I was so incredibly impressed with the loaf of white bread I bought this past weekend, words cannot express it. I was able to have an almond butter sandwich, no toasting, no disgusting after taste, so shitty-gritty consistency. Absolutely amazing!
And then Monday came… we celebrated my birthday and a co-worker brought me a loaf of your Rosemary bread as a gift. It was the best bread I’ve ever had, gluten or not! My husband, who has no wheat/gluten allergies, was also as enthralled with it. It is so delicious and I cannot thank you enough for bringing such amazing, gluten-free products to us.
I have been searching for years for items I can eat without wheat & gluten and have come up short each time (with the exception of one Peanut Butter cookie that I make myself). Again, I can’t thank you enough for all of your recipes and everything you do.
I wish you and your business continued success!!!!"
