This place ROCKS!
We found it through a Google search and decided to visit today. I have multiple allergies that make it extremely difficult to find any sort of food that isn't a whole food (plain fruit, plain vegetable, plain meat, etc). That means no treats. No muffins, pizza, bread, cake, etc. It's been a sad existence for the past 9 years!
Then, enter Still Delicious. And oh. my. lanta.
Firstly, the premises is so clean, and so bright and welcoming. They have clear glass walls in the entry way so you can see right into the kitchen prep area as well as where the ovens are. Everything is sparkly clean and neat. Check out how they store their kitchen gadgets in the corner. Everything has a place. Everything is useful and shiny and clean. Marie Kondo would be proud.
Then, you approach the small counter right as you walk in, and it's loaded with so many goodies. Cupcakes and whoopie pies in the case, muffins, breads, quick breads and cookies to the side of it. Kombucha and coffee available for purchase as well.
They color coordinate their offerings through a colored twist tie system, which coincides with a sign right there at the counter. Red, Blue, Green, etc all stand for things like "Vegan" or "Dairy Free" or "Corn Free". It's SO easy to pick out what is safe for your personal eating style.
If that wasn't enough, the owner/operator (Mark, I believe) is such a nice man, and offers up a wealth of information about his products. He knows everything about everything and you can tell he has really done his research. He knows all about the hidden sources of gluten, corn, eggs, etc in food products. He avoids them. He knows how to substitute ingredients to match your needs. If there is something you need, you can custom order it. Tell him, and he will make it for you!
The offerings are also stellar. You know how gluten free food can taste "off"? Not here. The muffins are INCREDIBLE and moist and delicious. I got a box of 6 carrot cake cupcakes, and here I am at home, guarding them with my life. No one's gonna be swiping these babies from me, no sir. They might just lose a finger.
He also has frozen pizza crusts available too, and gives samplings of his baked goods freely. "Try it!"... the words of a man confident in his craft. And he should be confident! He has a real talent and has perfected his baking.
I also hear they do birthday and wedding cakes... cakes that LOOK and TASTE like real cake! If you don't have allergies, you won't know why I'm so excited, but if you DO have allergies, then you just *know*. You know the struggle. You know the sad offerings that we get to choose from. You know how hard it is to find something decent that's safe for you and your family and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and a kidney. You get it.
So, if you're in the area, make the stop. Buy all the things. Eat all the things. You will not be disappointed! If you're not in the area-- drive to the area. Then stop and buy and eat all the things.
Oh, and put your name on their email list so you can get updates. Like when Summer is over and Pumpkin Spice Season kicks off? Yeah, you're going to want to know about that. read more
