Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I read the ingredients of the Lucy's products and wasn't too thrilled that they contained oats. I do think these cookies would be great for those not sensitive to oats.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Not sure about everyone else, but GF oats means nothing to me. Actually, it means that I have to be even more careful because something labeled GF, but with gluten free oats, can make me just as sick as eating a piece of whole wheat toast. I've read that the number is as high as 20% of people who can't tolerate gluten can't tolerate even the "gluten free" oats. Very frustrating.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Cara, I tried to send samples of my gluten free products and had a really hard time. Are they looking for other products? My products are packaged in a reheatable container and ship frozen so would minimize waste for Starbucks. I have Fudgy Brownies, Carrot Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Zucchini Muffins for wholesale. I would be happy to send samples to your sister-in-law.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi, I was SO happy to see GF items at Starbucks! My daughters and I go to Starbucks all the time in the afternoons so I can my coffee fix, and usually I have to remeber to bring along snacks for us to have with our drinks. Now, we can stop there spur-of-the-moment and we're all set.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Last week, having heard that GF cookies, etc. were available at a Starbucks, I asked a Union Street, SF barista for anything GF. He said they used to have "those orange things" but no one bought them, so they no longer carried anything GF. He was a bit disdainful. I saw some Kind bars and told him they were GF. I hope we can find out which Starbucks locations carry GF snacks. Usually, I don't go to Starbucks unless I'm in a neighborhood that has no other coffee houses. However, a GF snack would draw me in. Dana, best wishes on your pursuit of a market with Starbucks. Is Peet's a possibiity? They're a bit smaller, and they have a reputation for being less bureaucratic. (And I like their coffee much better.)

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Harper, Thanks for the support. I had a nice conversation with Cara and I would need to be in a completely gluten free facility to market to Starbucks. Due to the high cost of commercial space, this is not an option right now. I am extremely careful using all my own equipment but I understand that some are extremely sensitive. Sadly, Starbucks new snacks are not an option for me. I have tried the gluten free oats and react like I react to gluten. I will contact Peet's and hope for the best.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm sorry to hear that Starbuck's isn't a commercial market for you. They are so very large, so corporate, now, that it doesn't seem a likely venue for someone in your situation. Funny -- Mr. Starbuck and Mr. Peet were once partners. I believe Mr. Peet was the start-up guy, with Mr. Starbuck joining him later. I'm just going by memory. Do you know whether all the Starbucks snacks contain oats? Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The Starbuck’s in s Valley of Granite creek carries the Lucy’items and the Food Should Taste Good multigrain chips. I got the “sugarâ€cookies (they also have cinnamon and chocolate chip). They weren’t that goodin my opinion. I can eat GF oats no problem, so no reaction on my end (im verysensitive). I will try the other flavors eventually just to try them, but ifthey’re like the sugar ones, I’ll only grab them if im desperate.
