Today I had a lovely little jaunt in Larchmont Village, a cute little area in LA off Melrose. There is lots of shopping (think boutiques) and some great gluten free gems.
First, I swung by Larchmont Bungalow to buy a couple of slices of gluten free + dairy free millet bread. They sell items from Rising Hearts Bakery (a gluten and dairy free bakery in Culver City). Today they had muffins, cookies, whoopie pies, and cupcakes.
I then met up with a friend at Bricks and Scones Coffee Shop and grabbed a great almond milk latte (warning: this place is only good for drinks; they are not gf savvy).
Then we popped down the street to Babycakes Bakery. They are absolute pros in the allergen field and are gluten, dairy, and nut free. They have donuts, cupcakes, brownies, blondies, loafs, and other goods. I got a cinnamon bun, and my friend got a chocolate chip cookie sandwich. The thin mint also looked tempting! Both were super yummy and had great consistencies for gluten free! Babycakes is also a healthier bakery because they use coconut oil instead of butter, agave nectar over refined sugar, and bob's red mill gf flour (delicious blend of blend bean, rice, and starches).
She had never been to Lemonade, an absolute fav of mine. They serves up fresh SoCal cuisine (and they label their allergens very clearly). My new favorite flavor of lemonade is their watermelon rosemary :)
