Review of Thistle's Summit

I absolutely love this place! I love your story about how they started and how they opened here in Des Moines.

I went in last Saturday with my mom to check it out because it popped up on my gluten free app as a gluten free bakery. I grabbed a handful of different items when I was in. And am really excited to say that I will be back!

The people who work there are really friendly and helpful. They will answer any questions you have a give you a tour of the place when you say you have never been there before.

I love that eveeything is gluten free and plant based. It is really hard for me to find something that is both unless I make it myself.

There fluffernutter is to die for and I am saying this as a person who is not a big fan of marshmallows. I love the pumpkin whoopie pie. It was soft and delicious! I do wish it had a little bit more spices in it though. I grabbed some of their garlic foccaccia bread as well and it reminds me of foccaccia that is made with gluten. And it is made with no preservatives so if you do not eat all of it and leave it sitting out it does go bad. I also bought a oatmeal creampie. These reminded me of the childhood treats I used to have though it was a little dry.

My hope to try there cinnamon rolls. I really miss being able to have them and have not found a good recipe yet. So finger crossed I can grab one when I am in next!
