The busiest bakery on the 4th of July. Holy moly, was not expecting to see a line near out the door on the holiday weekend. But of course, such a line, must mean the quality is above and beyond impressive! Right? Well looks-wise they certainly were. The names were hilarious, with things like millionaire tears, CE O-no!, and Trickledown. (I'm guessing they're not a fan of the current corporate climate) However, while funny, the names really didn't say what the favors were. Most of the nameplates did not describe it, they had no menu I could find inside that did, and because of how busy they were I did not want to be "that guy" and hold up the line asking about each one. So I got a half dozen, feeling that would be a safe bet I'd find something among the ones I pick to enjoy. Of course not all of the doughnuts had silly names, which helped me pick them out, like Cinnamon bun, French toast, Strawberry frosted, etc. I even picked one of the gluten free ones, the red and blue frosted, which had a berry-like smell. All together coming to around $27, a fair but more than DD's, but hey, these were artisanal so fairs fair. Back home I tried a wedge of each one, just to sample them and find my favorite. The French toast and cinnamon bun honestly tasted the same, super sugary, very thick with frosting, and a hefty cinnamon flavor. The strawberry was far lighter, but too much so, with a frosting that was more like a glaze. Could barely taste the fruity flavor I sought. Cinnamon sugar was nice, very thick, lots of even coverage, but the dough was so lacking in flavor that it really stuck out due to just how big the thing is. The trickledown, which is suppose to come with a shot of espresso, and I was offered one, but did not think the shot would fair well in a bready confectionary on my drive home so I declined. It was by far the most interesting, with a kind of custard interior that I imagine the espresso is poured into and slowly soaks through. The whipped topping was also nice, being real whipped cream and not more frosting. Sadly, things went sour real fast with the berry blast having a consistency of sand and a flavor of artificial fruit I could not get past. And I know it's not because it was gluten free, I've had good GF free baked goods before, this, was not it. Overall, the experience was pleasant. The wait in line built up my anticipation, the choices were varied, and my favorite one wasn't even in a completed state. (the Trickledown) That said, just one of these bad boys really would be an entire dessert meal in and of itself. Sampling all 6, well, I'm off to enter a carb coma.

My wife, girlfriend and I visited Toro of Albany last night and the experience left us all dissatisfied. The blue corn tortillas used for the gluten free application of the chicken tacos were meely and unappetizing. The 32$ enchiladas with shrimp were 90% tortilla. Each only had 1 shrimp and very little filling. For the price tag, we expected a fantastic meal and it was not delivered. The margaritas were ok but at 15$ a piece, seemed over priced. The only bright spot was our bar tender, rob I believe. He was smart, funny, knowledgeable and overall the best part of the experience. Overall I would say visit this spot for drinks and conversation only.

We love Savoy Taproom!! We always make a point to stop in for dinner whenever we're in the neighborhood. This is a fantastic gem for gluten free/dietary restriction folks, as there is a dedicated gluten free fryer AND most breaded/fried items are breaded in non-gluten containing batters! This is one of the only places I can get a fried chicken sandwich, fries, fried cheese curds, etc. since I've gone gluten free. Further, the craft cocktails are exquisite, the staff knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind, and the ambience great for evening/weekend dining. I can't think of a more perfect place to celebrate date night, get togethers with close friends, or any special occasions.

The establishment is spacious, catering to sizable gatherings and familial units. A delectable cheeseburger with accompanying French fries is offered. The establishment can provide gluten-free buns for both burgers and pasta dishes.

The bartender, Zoe, was very nice. I have Celiac Disease, and she let me know all my options on the menu. I didn't have time for a long sit-down meal, but I definitely will be back.

Ordered some cookies during dinner. Quick walk to the bakery where we had warm gluten free cookie waiting for us. Honestly, could not really ask for more. Thanks for helping out the gf community! A tasty treat to end the night!

I am celiac and I have been ordering their food for 3 weeks now. It is a lifesaver not having to go through the stress of cooking every meal now and getting glutened since I live with someone who eats wheat.
