Re: GF Products

[Guest guest]

Draegers.com is pretty close – los altos and Menlo park. It’s a

high end grocery store. Lots of good stuff. Wholefoods www.wholefoods.com also has plenty of

stores in the area and here is a link to their gluten free list…they have a

great gf frozen section with the best bread and pastries I’ve tasted.

Next week we'll be

traveling to Mountain View to spend Thanksgiving there with family. Are

there stores in the area where I could find breads? Stuffing mixes?

Pastries?

Thank you so much for any info!

You could try Whole Foods in Los Altos (next town over from Mountain

View, but might as well be the same town) as it is the most

convenient. You can get Whole Foods GF Bakehouse products and Mariposa

GF brownies etc in the freezer case near the protein bars and baked

goods. I happen to prefer the Cupertino Whole Foods for having a

slightly better GF selection, but it depends on what you're looking

for. They are a bit far.

You can also try Country Sun in California Avenue- technically Palo

Alto I think. They are smaller, more expensive, but have some

interesting products.

I don't shop much at Draegers, but I probably should. I've heard good

things.

Also, Nob Hill (in Mountain View) is a regular grocery store but they

have a reasonably good health food section for snacks. They're

slightly yuppie and slightly pricey.

There's a place with GF Pizza in Mountain View on Castro, down the

street from a coffee shop called Spica. I'm not a huge fan of the

latter, but the owner does have some GF stuff on the menu, supposedly.

(Note that I can eat that bread is no longer available. Not sure what

Spica serves anymore.)

If you get a chance to go to the city (SF)- although actually, it's in

Oakland, I highly recommend Mariposa bakery for pre-made baked goods,

especially awesome pizza. It is made in a GF environment.

Hope this helps. Enjoy Mountain View- I lived there for four years.
