CANYON BAKEHOUSE ☝

★★★★☆

have not found anything of theirs I didn't like. The bread is good bread, soft & enjoyable to eat. Just don't toast it & let it sit for too long before eating it, then it gets hard. The bagels are *not* bagels, but more like good bread. Still a nice treat.

can buy in stores or online.

RISE BAKERY ☝

★★★★★

just amazing. the only problem is that it's only in washington DC (& virginia). THE BAGELS ARE BAGELS!!!!!! i need an entire bag of these. for reasons.

also had carrot cake (cupcake) &??? it is so good? favorite part was definitely the mock-buttercream frosting. It tasted exactly like fancy, delicious frosting that goes on top of a carrot cake. The only thing I would change is to make the frosting just a tiny bit less sweet, personally. And, I also had a little pastry with raspberries in it, (i think?)

KATZ GLUTEN FREE ☝

★★★★★

my beloved.

you can get it shipped right to you!

donuts are the best. especially donut holes. chocolate ones with glaze on them. like dunkin' donuts!!!! guess what? you can get it here! I doesn't just taste "like" donuts, it IS donuts exactly & precisely. You cannot tell the difference.

also sells other stuff. I tried a swirl cake once; it was like pound cake -- nice!!! It got stale pretty quickly though.

their challah is SO GOOD. It's fluffy, it makes the best french toast, it's beautiful, i love it

MIYOKO'S CREAMERY ☟

☆☆☆☆☆

organic cashew milk cream cheese

it is sour. i hate sour things.

ok i get what they're going for, with a cream cheese taste... it's just. no. texture is pretty ok though.

GO VEGGIE ☞

★★☆☆☆

organic classic plain cream cheese alternative

definitely not cream cheese. the best I can say about it is... bland? completely inoffensive.

pretty okay as a random creamy spread, if you forget it's supposed to be cream cheese. Also tastes good with lox.

FLORRIE KAYES TEAROOM ☝

★★★★★

This tearoom is in Caramel, New York. It is much too loud, at least on weekends. The tea was only middling but we're not here for tea... we're here for the bread!!!! ♥ I got a flatbread there, it was artisanal, it's beautiful, it's inspiring, it's like some kind of focaccia thing and it tastes... like, really, really good? and you would NOT guess it was gluten free. Other people who tasted it & other things said it was one of the best things there. So. If you are going here, try it!

apparently, and I only found this out afterwards by looking on the website, they also have gluten free scones.

POCONO ☝

cream of buckwheat

Wow!!!!!!! [buy here] Ok so this does not taste EXACTLY like cream of wheat, but u know what does? NOTHING & let me tell u, it's a sad place to not have cream of wheat. This heats up the same way & tastes good without some weird other taste, it's just creamy hot cereal like you want. regular and ordinary. I love this immeasurably, my life is complete ok? Only caveat: the grains are quite larger than cream of wheat, not sure why, so that is one noticeable difference; but I'm going to guess it's because of the textural facets of buckwheat, which gains a very creamy gel-like consistency very easily. I almost wonder if making the pieces smaller would create something too smooth, more like pudding than porridge.

chocolate birthday donut

I can't say how good this is. SO CHOCOLATEY. so this is a donut place, [delivery within 10 miles of Peekskill, NY] which makes sense because they really know how to make donuts!!!! it is so moist, it reminds me of brownies in the best way, there is a glazey bit in the middle with liquid chocolate to give you an incredible lava cake-esque experience, AND it has sprinkles on it. this is high level mini cake stuff. It's not a "donut" in the sense of a dunkin' donut experience. (If you're craving that you should order Katz Gluten Free.) No, this is like... gourmet restaraunt dessert. it's so ♥
