| Azna Gluten Free Bakery: Cameron Park, California |
Our second summer adventure took Kristen and me to a gluten
free bakery in Cameron Park California.
I was pretty psyched to visit Azna’s GF bakery because I’ve heard a lot of good
things about their cakes and breads, but honestly their food did not blow my
mind like I thought it would. To their credit we sorta came at a wonky time
where they were running out of the fresh baked/made items.

So what did eat?
According to their website we had their “award winning lasagna” that is gluten
and soy free. The verdict? It was okay. Not
spectacular but not inedible either. Lasagna was flavorful but everything
seemed a bit mushy. The bread served with the lasagna was delicious! It was a little chewy which was perfect for mopping up the lasagna sauce.

The second item that we shared was the black bean wrap. And
it was interesting. When you think
about a “wrap” I don’t know about the rest of the world, but I personally think of a tortilla or some
sort of flat bread that is wrapped around protein and veg. Well the black bean
“wrap” was more like a salty short bread crust similar to pizza dough than
anything else.

The dessert that I ordered to share was the double chocolate
brownie. It looked SO decadent and delicious behind the counter, but I think
that I can speak for both for us that the brownie sadly did not rock our world L

The top layer of chocolate ganache was good but the rest of
the brownie was super cake-y and gelatinous. It didn’t even taste very
chocolate-y despite being called a “double chocolate brownie”.

But it was anticlimatic.

All in all, the
food that we personally ordered was okay; would I order the same things again?
Probably not; however, I would definitely want to try their other gluten free
baked goods.
Cheers!
