| - The first time I ate an Awelicious hamburger bun from GFC, I actually cried. It was the first 'real' hamburger I'd been able to have since going gluten-free due to a diagnosed wheat allergy. The roll was soft, it smelled like bread, it 'crushed' down like a 'real' bun, and it was the perfect proportion of bread to fixins -- every other GF bun I'd tried was this huge mass of dry bread. I had the same reaction to the awelicious bread -- it smells like bread, it's soft, it's 'real'. It toasts and grills up great and makes terrific grilled cheese and sandwiches. But it's actually good and soft enough to eat plain. This bakery gave me a big piece of my life back.
Favorites are: Anything awelicious -- bread, hamburger buns, dinner rolls. The hot dog buns are also terrific. The cinnamon buns, coffee cake, and cupcakes are divine. I love the banana bread, though honestly it doesn't taste like banana bread to me, but more like a spice bread/cake. I do love the pizza crust, but wish they'd add one with absolutely NO herbs at all. Even the Simple crust has herbs in it that alter the taste of the pizza. A totally plain pizza crust would be fantastic.
I buy their regular flour and cookie flour to cook with. And the flours are ENRICHED!!! I've eaten several of their small chocolate cakes and have liked them all. I'm totally ordering a custom cake for my birthday -- can't wait!!! :)
They always have samples to try when you go in, which is great. I go to the 32nd Street location, and they make great sandwiches for lunch. Can't remember the name of my favorite -- it has turkey, cranberries, and cream cheese and is terrific.
Gluten-Free Creations dramatically improved the quality of my life. I'm going home to PA this summer for several weeks and will be having GFC ship bread, rolls, cinnamon buns, etc. for my trip. I can't live without them. :)
