Review:
Specializes in baked goods prepared without processed ingredients like wheat flour, sugar and butter.
Overpriced and unhealthy
While they claim to be a healthier alternative, they actually use hydrogenated coconut oil in the frosting--much less healthy than butter. I don't have food allergies of any kind, so whether they use wheat or gluten means nothing to me. It's a cute place--fit's right into the neighborhood. The chocolate brownies are good. Very pricey, small portions.
