I finally made it to Almond Butterfly but wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I ordered two cupcakes and one breakfast cookie to-go and they weren't as good as my favourite gluten and dairy free bakery in the beaches. I've heard so many good things about Almond Butterfly, that the hype did not meet my expectations.
I tried a chocolate cupcake with a fake Oreo on top and the chocolate cupcake portion (the most important part of the cupcake) was not that good. It didn't have the rich flavourful flavour and texture I anticipated it would have. With that being said, I also tried a lemon vanilla cupcake and this one was done much better. It was more moist and tasted the way I expected a delicious cupcake to be.
I also tried the breakfast cookie and this was by far the yummiest item I tried. The cookie was baked perfectly and it featured whole seeds, cranberries and chocolate chunks, creating an exquisite flavour combination. The cookie was also chewy and delicious!
Of all the treats I tried at this bakery, the vegan breakfast cookie was my favourite treat. For donuts and cupcakes, my favourite bakery is still Tori's Bakeshop in the beaches.
I would definitely return to Almond butterfly to pick up some cookies and maybe even to try the chocolate chip cookie, which the server said was his favourite.
