Sami’s Bakery

I had read all of the good reviews and swung by to check it out. I love a good cookie, which is what I was after… I had read about the Walnut chocolate chip cookies here, and it was time to try one.
I ordered one «Gluten-​Free» Walnut Chocolate Chip cookie, one «Gluten-​Free» Oatmeal Raisin cookie… and a Cherry Turnover (just because!) ;)
Ate the cookies on the way home… or maybe I should say I «tried» the cookies on the way home.
The Walnut Chocolate Chip? Very dry, crispy, not very chocolaty, not very walnutty either. This was like eating a «GHOST» of a Chocolate Chip cookie… it was ok, but I will stick to Chewy, evil, MOIST Yummy chocolate chip cookies!
The Oatmeal Raisin! A bit more moist, and the raisins were tasty. but again, just not a hearty, chewy, rich yummy cookie. Both cookies tasted like diet food… which is fine if that is what you want… but I like EVIL cookies!
The Cherry Turnover… pretty damn good! I heated it slightly after getting home, and had a big glass of cold WHOLE milk (yes… I hate 2% and skim… I work out, stay in shape, and occasionally have a small splurge!)
The cherry turnover almost made the trip worthwhile. But I doubt if I will go back!
The whole Gluten-​free thing is a nonsense fad too, per some studies (unless you have Celiac disease! Which is a very small percentage of the population!)
but some people ignore science and medicine… fads and nonsense are more fun, right?

I have nothing but the best to say about Sami’s Bakery! Saved my sandwich life! Its a regular staple in my house, l: bread, crackers, Thank you!

Wonderful bakery with options for low carb and low gluten. I used to buy their bread that was distributed to a grocery store, but then I found the source. I buy all my bread products here: Pitas, loaves and pizza crusts. I also get hummus and dolmas for lunch. I haven’t tried all their baked goods, but I sometimes get the cranberry almond cookies and they don’t disappoint. The baklava is killer too! The cashier is always friendly and it’s always a quick in and out.

The only place to come get fresh daily made pita bread and middle eastern appetizers. I am always willing to make the drive for their millet and flax cinnamon chips. They also serve fresh cold appetizers as well as gluten free baked goods. I don’t need to eat gluten free but this stuff is so good!

Excellent place for gluten free goods. I like chocolate chip cookies, coconut chocolate chip cookies, banana muffins and the grape leaves.

Not impressed! I had ordered a birthday cake with very specific instructions for the decoration. The cake didn’t even come close to what I had asked for and the baker decided to add her own design which was just horrible. The writing was terribly written. Got past the exterior and tried it. The WORST cake I have ever eaten. I would not recommend ordering a cake from here. The worst part is that I was picking this up the day before the birthday and was essentially stuck with it. I would have been better off with a birthday cake from a local grocery store!

Last time at Publix I could not find Sami’s Pita Chips that I so dearly love and which are usually in stock. After a business meeting I was passing by Sami’s Bakery on Busch Blvd and decided to purchase them directly from the source.
A small retail bakery shop is in the front of the building where they sell bread, cookies and the pita chips. They sell various types of chips, but the Millet & Flax Cinnamon Chips are the ones to buy. It is difficult not to devour the whole bag. Bonus — they are healthy — low carb and very high in fiber. Hard to believe because they taste so good. Look for them at Publix to see if your store carries them.

Love Samis bakery! A selection of healthy breads and food like no others. I love to get the baba ghanouj, falafel, and taboule to go for lunch. It usually lasts several meals. :)

The freshest pita bread around! The made the thin pita, which I like better then the thick chewy one.

OHMYGOODNESS! I have found a little piece of heaven on earth.
I learned of Sami’s Bakery through a friend’s diet clinic, which sells their low-​carb products. I then purchased some of their products at a farmers market in Dunedin and oh my, was I delighted. Their millet and flax cinnamon chips are my new go-​to sweet low-​carb treat and their low carb spinach and cheese pie is to die for — I have one almost everyday!
The bakery itself is small, clean, and has a nice wide selection of things. Along with offering gluten free and low carb options, they are also a normal bakery and sell many fabulous looking pastries.
I drive right buy Sami’s almost everyday and now I stop in each time!

Shut your mouth!!! What do you mean this is healthy? How can something so healthy taste so bad for me?
I thought I was in love when I tried the chia chips. I call them chia crack and since my discovery of them last week, cannot think of living a day without them. Then today I tried the millet and flax cinnamon chips and oh! the oohey gooeyness. They taste like an Auntie Anne’s cinnamon sugar pretzel but without all the butter and carbs! I planned on having two (large) chips, but half the bag is gone now and it took all the control in my body to stop. I picked up a loaf of the ancient grains bread and can’t wait to toast a slice up in the morning for breakfast!
Thank goodness they provide nutritional info or I would not believe that they are good for you. I’ve now had several of their products and can say that I am a huge fan and will continue to sing their praises to anyone who will listen!
