Review of Strawberry Blonde Bakery

This is a nice spot for a quick treat and dedicated, so it's safe for sensitive celiacs!

I enjoyed it, but to me everything still tasted... well... gluten free? The nanaimo bar was a little too soft and tasted strongly of coconut oil (I think this was because it was vegan too?) and the cinnamon bun, while definitely one of the best I've had gluten free, still didn't rival the gluten version. Everything was almost sickly sweet.

Admittedly, I went at the end of the day, which is not the best time to get a baked good from any bakery, so they may be better if you go first thing in the morning. Gluten free doughs are a fickle beast, but I don't like to rave too hard when something is "pretty good for gluten free" instead of just blowing me away. Definitely the best gluten free bakery I've been to, but my previous experiences with other bakeries set a pretty low bar unfortunately. Still a great spot if you don't want to bake for yourself or need to pick up treats for an event though!
