| - I've tried Jewel's now 4 different times, months apart, hoping it would improve. When you must be gluten free, sometimes you long for a delicious doughnut or cupcake. You won't be getting a delicious one here. I can only speak to the pastries, but they are flavorless. Cupcakes are always dry and the frosting is like biting into shortening, though I think shortening might have more flavor.
How you can ruin a vanilla cupcake, I just don't know. Jewel's was able to do it-no vanilla flavor coming through in the cake or the frosting. Maple pecan scone? I did detect a faint amount of maple flavor in the bit of icing on top, but otherwise it was a gigantic blob of a tasteless, dry biscuit. Raspberry fritter? Tasted like a deep fried yeast ball, though the glaze was similar to a regular fritter.
I really was hopeful that there would be flavor this last time, but alas, none. I even bought 4 different pastries yesterday, surely one of them would be moist and flavorful? Nope, not one.
