Truth be told, I have been going to Santa Monica a lot lately for doctors appointments. I have some type of digestion issue in addition to my sensitivities. But hey, after my appointments I get to enjoy all the beauty (and food) that SM has to offer.
Today I didn't have time to stick around, but I did have time to pop in Interim Cafe ( right down the street from UCLA medical). I had a test done this morning where morning coffee was not allowed, so I was in dire need if caffeine. I dashed in there, and to my pleasure I found 4 gluten and dairy free goodies in the bakery case! I opted for the Chocolate Ricemellow Organic Brownie (no refined sugar + organic eggs) and a almondmilk cappuccino (I noticed they use whole foods unsweetened almond milk..my fav). I do not exaggerate when I say this brownie was the bomb. I cannot think of a gf + df brownie that touches this. It has a fudge like texture an creamy taste with little nibs inside it. It also had some type of marshmallow like topping. I definitely want to come back for their other treats.
They also have Chocolate Salvation which is a sugar, dairy, and gluten free vegan soft serve made with organic chocolate and soy milk. Before going dairy free, I was a frozen yogurt connoisseur (I hit up froyo shops multiple times a week), and I can tell you this is very very good stuff. I just had a sample, but I very impressed.
I did not get to try any of their lunch food, but I spoke with an employe. Many of their gluten free dishes contain dairy, but if you are gluten free only I bet you would get some great dishes. They can do some gluten and dairy free salads.

ReplyDeleteWent back yesterday. Interim is quickly turining into a favorite! The chocolate salvation (their vegan soft serve) is a must try. It's also gluten and sugar free :) Their gluten and dairy free blueberry muffin has amazing taste + texture. Dig in!
