Dear readers who don't live in Oregon: feel free to skip this post, as it is about a local business.
This weekend, The Man and I
tried out a new bakery in the area. That sounds a bit mundane, until
it is pointed out that the bakery mentioned is a dedicated
gluten-free, nut-free, vegan place. “Wait, so I can eat every
single thing?” was my reaction when I first heard that this
place was opening.
Ruby Cakes in McMinnville
was a fantastic experience. They had quite a variety of baked goods,
and each thing that we tried was amazing. Moreover, there was
something wonderful about knowing that the treats were perfectly safe
for my food intolerances, as well as many other people in my life.
The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and genuinely interested
in providing the community with allergen-free treats. I was also
pleased that the prices were quite reasonable; comparable to what I
have paid for things at glutenous bakeries.
These little doughnuts were delicious.
This cinnamon roll was huge; I split it with The Man. I never expected to be eating a cream-cheese frosted cinnamon roll again, and I could not tell that it was vegan or GF! Saturdays are cinnamon roll day at the bakery.
There were 8 kinds of "milk" for the coffee, only two of which contained any dairy. This was fantastic!
I am very happy that this
business has opened, and I will most assuredly be visiting again in
the near future. If you live near McMinnville you should try this
place, even if you don't have any allergies.
