Alice - about Bittersweet bakery...

Post by CAMary »

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 :grin: :grin: 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 :cry: 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! :smile: 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.
