Sweet Freedom Bakery
So if you haven't heard, there's a new vegan/gluten-free bakery on South Street. It only opened a few weeks ago, so there aren't a million items to choose from but it does have the basics like assorted cookies, loaves, brownies, and cupcakes. They feature different items during the week like apple crisp, magic bars, etc. I'm sure that as time passes they will feature more items, but I think as the new kid on the block they have some great potential.
So far I've tried the following.
Brownies: Not my favorite because they are cakey...I actually prefer the brownies I make, but if you want something cake-like you may love this.
Cupcake: Now this is my must have item every time I stop by here. I love the icing, it just compliments the cupcake so well. It just melts in your mouth. Even my sister loves them and she's incredibly skeptical of anything vegan. I've only tried the vanilla one with vanilla frosting. I want to try the chocolate one next time.
Thumbprint Cookies: These are my favorite cookies here. Chewy, sweet, perfectly balanced with the fruity center. Ah, delicious.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: These are pretty good. A bit greasy in my opinion, but they are chewy and yummy nonetheless.
Oaty Apple Crisp: Okay...now I just tried this two days ago. This is so far my favorite item. It is so delicious. The sweetness brought out by the cinnamon and the apples is delicious. It has a chewy bottom, and oatmeal crisp topping, which adds a lot of bite to this yummy treat. Left me fully satisfied without much guilt. :)
Banana Chocolate Chip Loaf: I had a battle in my head when I was trying to decide whether to get this or the cinnamon sugar loaf. I asked the opinion of the person behind the counter and she suggested this. So I went with the banana chocolate chip, and I am so happy I did. Another favorite of mine now. Right balance of sweetness, and the chocolate just melded so well.
Macaroons: Small and light, these things don't disappoint though. I love anything with coconut and they have two different flavors, chocolate and regular. I loved the chocolate ones...but put chocolate on anything and I'm a fan.
I think the best thing about this bakery is the fact that you don't feel like crap after munching on these things. I feel energized and satisfied. None of the sugar highs either because they don't use any refined sugars. Their stuff is sweetened with agave. Hits the spot.
Has anyone here tried any other items? I'm interested in the magic bars? Worth the buy?
