Made a long distance visit to the Almond Butterfly with high expectations for a speciality bakery. Unfortunately this visit fell short, perhaps it was too good to be true. There weren't many options for treats (chocolate only cupcakes, ginger cookies, and another cookie priced at over $2.00) but I couldn't care for them. I was hoping to see a nice variety of treats like the caramel bars, different delectable cupcakes, cakes etc. as featured on their website. That's what drew me here in the first place. Didn't have those available therefore we couldn't try them. They did however have a "Paleo" lava cake. We went for lunch and ordered the GFT (gluten-free turkey sandwich on a "bagel" with cheese, lettuce and tomato). Sadly it was a flop. I was expecting a substantial bagel like the ones at Primal Cravings (that are also Paleo) but these were not well executed. Skinny, dry bagels with massive holes so it cannot hold any of the sandwich filling. Gluten-free (and Paleo!) baking has come a long way, it seemed like they just gave up on this one. The three stars is all thanks to the Paleo lava cake. It saved our otherwise disappointing visit.
I'm sad to rate this bake shoppe as only three stars but for now it's justified. I think over time they'll find ways to improve their offerings. I might swing by on another day to see if there's anything different but for now, I'll continue with baking my own Paleo friendly treats at a fraction of the cost.
