Review of Liberated Baking

I found the place to be for those who are gluten free, whether by choice or health, come one, come all to Liberated Baking for stress free lunches and goodies galore. A delicious sea for the eyes to feast upon, tantalizing the gluten free who want to indulge or just enjoy a sandwich while out and about. I checked out Liberated Baking after a friend procured one of their cakes for my birthday. It was so delicious. The first time I was there, I went on a date with my dh and even he (gluten fan) raved about their sandwiches. If you don't know, everything here is gluten free...everything. So, there is no risk of contamination as there is no gluten ever in the building. For someone who has suffered illness from supposedly gluten free friendly places who also serve gluten, this is a relief.Continuing, we had the beef soup and sandwiches, coffee and a sampling of shortbread, cupcakes and pastries. The monkey bread or pull-apart bread was delicious. There was some white chocolate treat (I normally hate white chocolate for being too sweet) I loved. The shortbread was a bit on the dry side, but they had been open for only two weeks, so I'm sure it's been ironed out.The next time I visited, I purchased a variety of goodies, and one loaf of each of their breads. This time I tried their cinnamon roll. It has a good cinnamon to sugar ratio and just the right amount of frosting, but was on the dense side. I say this with the desire for it to be as flaky as its gluten counterpart. I have faith this can be accomplished as they make such good bread, cakes, and other goodies. The whole grain bread is good for what it is. However, my daughter found out that apparently she is sensitive to the taste of Amaranth flour, which if you are sensitive to it, tastes a bit like bad seaweed. They say most people are not sensitive to it though and the bread sells out, so I believe it. The white sandwich bread is the bomb. It is full of yeasty air holes, not too sweet, and soft as sandwich bread should be. It's a larger loaf then Udi's or Rudi's for the same cost and Liberated Baking's bread is a far better quality product. Chris is one of the owners and he is always willing to listen to feedback and weigh what he hears. Obviously, the majority of customers rule. I am normally not a person who like bought cakes, cupcakes and the like because they are far too sweet. Chris and the bakers here make it just right, which makes me happy.My daughter and I love the sandwich bread so much, I am beginning to make special trips once every two weeks or so (a half hour away for me) to pick up a few loaves and I always leave with a treat or two. Who wouldn't? This shop is worth the drive. They are located back from the street a bit, and the building sits at an angle, so they are not the easiest to find the first time without GPS of some kind to tell you what parking lot to turn in to. They also have a small shelving system to the left of the display case with boxed gluten free foods you can purchase as well. I saw some pastas, Annie's gluten free Mac and cheese, etc. They have several small, two seater tables and a couple of four seater tables. There are no booths or large tables. The coffee is drip and self serve, along with water. As others have mentioned, they do not have a menu. This is because their stock changes daily. They always have some kind of cupcake or cake available, some kind of cookies, sandwiches and bread. The rest changes every day, which is good. Variety in life is good.Chris and the employees are so nice, and just recently, they added gluten free biscuits and gravy on Sunday mornings! Yea!
