Gluten Free Gourmet, LLC

Went in during lunch. It was really quiet, only a few people there. Two people ordered ahead of me. I ordered the kale salad with chicken $ 10 and a side potato salad for $ 2. The couple in front of me got their food first (they were dining in). I ordered mine to-​go, yet waited for about 15 minutes for two salads. Not sure the potato salad is pre-​made or not. Regardless, that is way too long to wait for a salad, especially since the roasted chicken is clearly pre-​cooked. It was white/​almost grey and cold. Also, the description says there is parmesan cheese in the salad and mine didn’t have any. I wouldn’t recommend this salad to anyone, it’s so bland.
The desserts looked 5 days old and completely inedible. I’m not GF myself, but I wanted to try the place out especially since they offer café items other than pastries, etc. I tasted a sample of the coffee cake while I waited, tasted a little better than what cardboard might taste like.
So unfortunate for people who truly suffer from celiac disease, but also unfortunate that not even the salads are good.
Hopefully someone can come up with something edible soon!

Saw this bakery on my way to Saratoga Springs. Stopped on the way back home. Only tried the desserts, but all of them were yummy. Coffee cake was so tasty. Carrot cake cupcakes (the gluten free one… didn’t try the Vegan one) were amazing. Hubby loved the fudge brownie (and he has no gluten issues). Wish this place was closer to my home!

We had them do our cake for us and it was incredible. I was really worried about it since we did gluten cupcakes for all the guests and a small gluten free cake for us. It was so beautiful. We did the carrot cake which is always may favorite when we come here. They did such an amazing job and they delivered it which was so nice of them since the wedding was in gilroy. We will definitely be coming back!

Great place and I will definitely be going back! I went there with my friend today (both gluten free people) and we enjoyed the food and coffee. I got a quiche and pecan bar, both delicious and what you would expect for a café. The coffee (black velvet) was surprisingly good. I’m still eating the pecan bar and I love it! Both my friend and I were saying how great it is to go to a bakery/​café and be able to eat everything that is available. I recommend it!

I’m surprised by the bad reviews. Everything we had was tasty. We had the turkey sandwich, French onion soup, donut and the pecan square. Everything was tasty and fresh. Will definitely come back.

I stopped here because I was curious and boy was a disappointed. We got a box of 4 cupcakes and they were… Really bad. Hard, super dense cake (I let them come to room temp first, and they were still hard) and the frosting was so sweet, yet hard and shortening-​y it left a weird taste and texture in your mouth. Granted, one of the cupcakes I tried was gluten-​free and vegan, but I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad. I definitely wish I had tried some other pastries like the lemon bar or a brownie or something. Maybe I just came on a really bad cupcake day. But seriously, figure out how to make a good vegan frosting (most frostings are gluten-​free anyway…) or don’t have one at all.

So I am not completely gluten free but I have been here twice within a month with my boss who is gluten free. I wish I liked this place. The desserts are fine. Not the best gluten free I’ve tasted, although my aunt is a baker, my brother is a chef, and I love to bake so I may have high standards. I just cannot feel comfortable in the environment. It isn’t welcoming. Both times I went the woman at the register was less than helpful. She acted like it was ridiculous when my boss asked her a question about the food. They were also out of so many items. I understand selling out of some of the options, but over half their pastry case? I wouldn’t tell someone not to go here because they do have gluten free food that is fine, but I would warn them of my experiences.

Three times I’ve tried their GF sourdough baguette, optimistic that THIS time it would taste good. No luck.
A sad, dry, odd tasting baguette is definitely worse than no baguette at all.
And why is it their pastry case always skimpy and picked-​over looking when i get there?
I ordered a sandwich once, and it was only ok.
I was really hoping this place would be a gem.

First time at this amazing bakery the carrot muffins were wonderful!
I can’t wait to come back and try more Gluten free treats!

This is our first visit here. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of vegan and gluten free baked goods. And beautiful macaroons too. The cupcakes tasted amazing. My son enjoyed every bite.

We have been here about 8 times and are impressed every time. The latest was by a made to order gingerbread kit that the owner had made for my children. It was affordable, fresh and so tasty. In the past we always had the store bought ones that were rock hard and nearly inedible. This one was think, soft and smelled so delightful!
The staff is very kind.
We also love the salads and cupcakes!

I want to write a better review because the service was friendly, the selection of prepared foods (grocery) was interesting, and the environment was comfortable, but the one fresh baked item I was encouraged to choose was not good. The Conchas (Mexican Sweet Bread) was dry and bland, and the sugary topping was thick, crumbly, and not very good tasting.
It’s nice to know of a local gluten free bakery and (I didn’t get to try more than one item, so) I’m sure some of their baked goods are delightful but at ~$ 7 per treat, I’m not sure I’d commit to buy anything else without a sample.
Maybe I’ll give it one more try.

Surprised

As you can tell from my profile pic I am no stranger to baked goods. Gf on the other hand much more discerning taste and lives gluten free. Had 30 minutes to kill before massage at Preston Wynn so when we saw this place had to try it.
Nice employees very cool building.
Kept it simple; chocolate chip cookie, lemon bar, pecan square.
All were amazing with only the lemon bar possibly leaving a little more grain texture. Prices were reasonable especially sitting in middle of Saratoga.
Very happy we stopped.

Here’s my lunch experience from today:
I walked in and it was totally empty and there were 3 employees there. I ordered a sandwich and had to sit and wait 5 minutes and then the girl who took my order had to come out and ask me what I ordered again because she forgot. So after a solid 5 minutes of being in the back, she hadn’t even started my sandwich? Then I had to sit and wait 10 more minutes. I ended up paying $ 13 for a tiny six inch sandwich which barely had anything in it. (No chips, no drink) It was so dry and SO disappointing. I understand gluten free bread is much different than regular bread, but this was straight up awful. $ 13 for dry bread, 3 slices of ham, and a sprinkle of cheese. It wasn’t even toasted or melted and I ended up throwing it away.
I’m never coming back and definitely don’t recommend this place!

I really REALLY liked this place, however I was sad to see that the options aren’t always available. For example, I went all the way out here (30 minute drive just for this) to get the famous sourdough to try. They didn’t have any!!! I get it it, I get it. But I was just sad. I’ll definitely go back. The scones were amazing (tasted like no gluten free I’ve had before) and the rosemary bed was REALLY close to «normal» bread. I’m coming back for sure. I’ll update as I am able to visit!

I will be back — for sure!
My hubby and I stopped by at the Gluten Free Gourmet last Friday. Customer service was pretty good, and the establishment is nice and clean. That’s a big plus.
We tried the carrot cupcake and the plum & walnut bread pudding. The carrot cup cake was absolutely amazing — moist, not to sweet, and even the icing was edible! :) Who knew that was GF! The plum & walnut bread pudding was a little dry and didn’t have as much flavor; it was served cold, and I should have asked them to warm it up for me! I am sure it would have been a lot better warm (warm option was not offered and I just didn’t think of it :(
Coffee was good, but I am not a big fan of Coffee-​Matte half & half served in small plastic containers. Regular Half & Half would be so much better!
Wifi — available only if you have Comcast account (and I don’t) — at least this is the set up right now. No big deal to me.

I stopped in for a sandwich on the way up to a concert. First, there are no prices listed anywhere that I could see. I ordered a turkey/​cranberry/​cream cheese/​sprouts sandwich on dutch crunch. It’s served with a choice of chips or potato salad. I might mention that I’m not gluten free, I chose to eat there because I was hungry. The total for a sandwich, potato salad (which is included with the sandwich) and 1 water came to over $ 14.00. Not worth it, the sandwich was small, dry and close to being very bland, the potato salad smacked of potato, mayo and mustard. Not good.
I will not be back, ever.

Clay pots and cupcakes. Yeah, you read that right.
I so wanted to love this place! Being gluten free I hoped it would be insanely awesome but it was just ok. Ran in to grab a sweet treat one evening and there was a small selection available. No one was up front and we had to wait a few minutes before someone came out from the back.
She wasn’t at all helpful and made me feel like I interrupted something when I asked what they had. She replied curtly that what you see is what you get. So, I purchased the only type of cupcake available — it came in a clay pot, like those you’d put a plant in. Yes, that kind of pot… with a hole in the bottom for water to drain out of.
I guess this was supposed to be a clever receptacle for a cupcake with an icing flower on top, but it was just unnecessary. It was especially frustrating when they didn’t have a togo box for it. Indifferent to the clay pot, the cupcake was dry and lacked flavor. Bummer. I’ll have to try something else some other time. I really had my hopes up for this spot. :-/

I’m in heaven!!! I had the sunflower cupcake (gluten and dairy free) and a cashew latte. The cupcake reminded me of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches which I LOVE! I wanted to take a picture but got caught up in the yumm of it all and before I knew it… oopsie! You’ll just have to try it yourself.
At 5pm not a lot on the shelf but I will come back in the morning to grab bread, looks delish!
