Definite 5 stars because of it being a dedicated facility!! We need more of them!!

The products I sampled were pretty good, in general. Brownie was good, but GF brownies are the most common baked item I've encountered, and most are tasty. Muffins were decent but extra brown on top, not burned exactly, but not too far from it. Thought that was weird, since the cashier said she pulled them out fresh from the oven.

Sampled the bread and it was definitely a GF bread. Not bad exactly, but didn't finish the piece I tried. Just not great by itself; I'm sure it would make a great grilled cheese sandwich...

Something was missing... I figured it out afterwards: a sense of community. My GF community rallies around the local GF bakery (New Day, St Louis, MO). The owners listen to your story, ask questions, make suggestions. The cashier at OMG was friendly, but not helpful. I had questions about the products and their distribution and she didn't know. I had to ask for samples, even after explaining it was my first time there.

All in all, I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I probably would visit when I can to support those that take the effort to ensure my safety.
