Easy to park, bike, transit options. Extreme gluten-free environment. I purchased a sour dough bread which had some caraway seeds in it. The bread was a bit glueish but they have many kinds so i will try a different one. Purchased a very nice group of pastries for a dinner party which had a dehydrated sugared blood orange on it. Delicious and everyone loved them. Also got a trail mix granola Bar which is one of the nicest bars i have ever tried and had lots of delicious full sized almonds and a chewy texture. All in all very good experience and i thought the staff were especially sweet ¨̮
The carrot cake is dry with extremely sweet frosting even though they say it’s cream cheese frosting. The cheese buns barely have any cheese on them at all but they are nice buns, just don’t expect more than a tiny sprinkle of cheese on them and I asked for their cheesiest ones. 🤨
They do have nice pastry and the feta spinach thing I tried was nice and flakey, though wasn’t as full as it could have been.
It’s a decent gluten free bakery but if anything it’s inspired me to do more of my own baking than to go back regularly.
After reading some of the reviews I was nervous to step in to Origen but diet drove me to try. I was pleasantly reassured when the young woman served me with a smile and helpful attitude. The second surprise was the bakery’s products which I have found tasty and full of healthy organic ingredients. To be honest I was expecting to only be accepting of Ok tasting product but now I know I can be gluten free from now on without sacrifice. Products tried: baguettes, Vega bread, and berry pie. ( like your mom made)
What a refreshing place to find after being diagnosed with Celiac disease! It's not only safe to eat, but it is beyond delicious and beautifully prepped. Honestly they had the most amazing pumpkin pie I've ever had. Thank you!
