Yes - I made it there - it was a bit tricky as they have odd hours (only open 2 Saturdays a month) and we were heading up north - but I made it mid-week - it was literally 5 min from where we were staying! I have to say their CC cookie was phenomenal I felt like I was eating a cookie from the place at the mall! Didn't like the lemon bar as much - I was hoping for something more like a traditional crust-base - this was more like a sponge-cake on the bottom and had to be eaten with a fork....ooh lemon poppyseed muffins were good too - kind of pale - but the texture was the best I've encountered.
I went back the Friday before we left hoping to load up...they were out of a lot of items - I was sad I did end up trying the monster cookie though, by default - and it had -gasp- oatmeal - but I figured I'd give it a shot - no problems whatsoever fron any of their products. I hope they continue to do well - they had lots of cards and notes hanging up - one was from a lady who was afraid she wouldn't be able to have cake at her wedding until they came along - it was very touching to read lots of people's stories...I'm goping to send them an email, I think!
I was also impressed with the GF selections at the regular grocery stores there....we did go to Whole Foods in St. Paul - it was small though - like a remodeled 1950's grocery store - I guess I'm used to WF superstores!

Mary,
I'm glad you found it, and so close! Lucky you! I've heard they supply thngs to Byerly's, an exclusive grocery store. Maybe that's why they were out of items. That's a shame, though, when you wanted to stock up.
It was at least a 20 minute drive from S. St. Paul, so I haven't had time to go back since that first visit. Maybe next time. Another place that has lots of gf stuff is the Mississippi Co-op in St. Paul. I've been there many times. No fresh baked stuff, though.
