Sweet Freedom Bakery aiming for November

We ran into the ladies of the forthcoming Sweet Freedom Bakery at last week's Appetite for Awareness event, and they were kind enough to share some details about their in-the-works storefront at 1424 South. Heather Esposito (right) and her partner Allison Lubert, both of whom are holistic health counselors, are targeting Nov. 1 to open their bakery, which'll specialize in vegan goods produced without using (ready?) gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, wheat, peanuts, soy, casein or refined sugar. Esposito, who has food sensitivities herself, knew of very few retail resources in the area for those with similar dietary restrictions, motivating her and Lubert to tackle this project. Their product line will include cookies, cupcakes, cakes, pizzelles, loaves and muffins, and they'll do tea and coffee, as well.
Such a great niche. These ladies are going to take the market by storm!
Hope their nutrition science taught them based on real evidence. Like that coconut oil (and saturated fats) cause inflammation, which causes digestive cancers. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/booster_shots/2009/11/curbing-inflammation-with-food.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BoosterShots+(Booster+Shots)&utm_content=Google+Reader Wonder how much they really know about nutrition and health versus quack science?
Sweet Freedom indeed! I can't wait for their opening!
I've sampled some of their baked goods and they are all delicious! Everything I tried was moist, flavorful, and made me want seconds. The great thing about these gals is that the treats they are cooking up don't have to feeling guilty when you want to grab another. Can't wait to try some of their new recipes!
I cannot wait!!! :)
The snacks I have tasted from these two lovely ladies have me ready to get plane tickets home from Denver in order to come to the actual bakery and sample some more!
I'm not gluten intolerant, but I am vegan so I'm excited to see a new vegan shop open. Good luck with the opening!
