The bakery had GF bread in its own spot.

This grocery store accommodates more GF food than a normal grocery store. From the deli I picked up blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, ollolaberry, and apple mini pies. I also picked up peanut butter, sesame and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that were great from the bakery area. There were about 10 brands of sandwich bread. I didn’t have time to see the rest of the store, but I was impressed with the bakery/deli area.

Staff of life is one of my absolute favorite grocery stores in the state of California. They have a wonderful juice bar. I always get a huge green juice and my daughter gets a smoothie. They’ve got so many gluten-free items in the store.

The only grocery store where I have found gluten free prepared food. They have a large selection of gluten free pastries as well. And along with this you can find a large selection of gluten free bread and other packaged foods.
