Usuall their gluten free pizza is pretty good. I don't know if they changed who they get it from. This time I wasn't very good. Under cooked. And crust seemed thicker.
Dulce de Leche Paczki: O&H Danish Bakery opened in 1949 and has been family owned for four generations. Although they’re known primarily for their Kringles, one of their unique seasonal offerings is paczki. A paczki is sometimes confused with a doughnut, but there are some key differences. Paczki are denser, richer, and chewier because they contain more eggs, butter, and enriching ingredients like high-gluten flour and grain alcohol. Like a bismark doughnut, they are deep-fried dough, filled with confiture (yuck) or other sweet filling, and are usually covered in powdered sugar, icing, or glaze. They originated in Poland as a way to use up leftover ingredients that are considered rich in flavor before the start of lent. Don't feel bad if you've never heard of paczki as they are a regional treat in the U.S. (primarily in the Midwest). Even though I've lived in the Midwest my entire life, I've avoided paczki as I find fruit filling to be gross (like traditional prune, really!?). O&H solved my problem with their new Dulce de Leche Paczki. It's absolutely stuffed with smooth caramel custard, topped with rich caramel icing, and teeming with crunchy toffee bits and a few chocolate chunks. My paczki was huge and hefty thanks to all that filling, and they did not skimp like some doughnut shops notoriously do. To be honest, I did not notice any difference with the texture compared to that of a doughnut (not a complaint, just observation). Another observation is it looked different from the stock photo and even some of the others on display. Specifically, it had significantly less chocolate chunks and way more toffee. I was disappointed initially, but it ended up being irrelevant because what surprised me the most was the crunchy toffee bits. The texture and flavor were fantastic, while on the other hand the chocolate was overly bitter. In the end, I chose wisely for my first ever paczki, Doughboy approved 😋

*I hope this is back next year and that they continue to experiment with non-fruit flavors, like Nutella and cookie butter. It would be nice if paczki were available for a week or so instead of one day, but there might be a logistical reason for that or they're just traditionalists. I also want to note that I chose O&H over several other local bakeries for my first paczki for a few key reasons:
1. Online ordering
2. Multiple locations (one was conveniently near me)
3. Flavor selection
4. Price
ATYPICAL EXPERIENCE Stunned. Ordered my gluten-free burger medium. It came out rare on a beautifully toasted bun. Sent it back. It came out well. On a cold bun. Grr. Hangry and irate. At least our server deserves six stars of 5 and this was highly unusual
A 30-minute trek is worth it for this spot's great options and consistent quality, making every visit a delicious experience.

Bliss bows has so much different variety’s to choose from, and has gluten free granola, which is a plus for me. I have been looking for a healthy place for so long I’m so happy they opened one by me! The customer service is great the employees are friendly. Would definitely be coming back here. My new favorite spot to spend with my family and friends.
The store is clean and pretty well-stocked. The associates are helpful. The gluten-free and natural foods areas have some nice choices. It can get busy, but there's typically no long lines.
The cafe us clean, the employees are courteous and were quite quick. They have a nice selection of edibles and drink choices to enjoy while reading a newly purchased book- including two gluten free dessert options brownies and rice Krispy treat. Also if you're a Barnes and Noble member you get 10% off... who doesn't want a discount on coffee? silly people... I suppose. The drinks were tasty and the kids liked the treats it was a nice stop.
I am recently gluten free again, so I was pleased to find four options in the menu that looked good. I ate the Zucchini Noodle Pesto Chicken. It was filling with good flavor. They also mentioned I could substitute in other dishes to make it gluten free. But for now I want to be certain I am eating clean so I opted for the posted gluten free dishes.
