I discovered these at a Starbucks on vacation in San Francisco, but was never able to find them again at home. I was very disappointed that they didn’t keep it up – it was nice to be able to munch on something with my family.

I believe that Starbucks has already pulled the gluten free option.

My 14th year old daughter did not like the orange cake at all. She said the flavor was not good. How about something with chocolate? Everyone loves chocolate!!

I’ve never seen a GF option at my Starbucks but it would be great for my daughter to be able to get a treat also.

I think people are just desperate for something that is ok since that is what Starbuck’s gluten-free dessert was! I have had much better desserts and cannot believe such a large company with many resources settled for such a mediocre product. It did not sell because it was waxy and lacking flavor. We deserve better than that with all the wonderful ingredients available out there I cannot believe that this was the best they could do…shame on Starbucks!

I love these. The texture is great and so is the taste!

I went to a Starbucks that I was near the other day to see if they were carrying the pastry. I bought them out; they had three. I ate mine and felt like I was in dessert heaven. It had a texture so unlike other gluten-free desserts I had eaten; much lighter and less dense. The flavor was amazing. I would highly recommend it, even to gluten eaters. Buy them so they keep offering them

It was wonderful. Great texture and taste, and so nice to walk into a mainstream coffee shop and be able to share cake and coffee

I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. The texture really was great – and so was the taste. I wasn’t sure our local Starbucks would have them, but they did even here. It’s such a relief to be able to go somewhere like a Starbucks and actually be able to find something to eat.

I give this pastry a ten. It is light in texture, tasty and very satisfying. I love orange flavor and the almonds add a nice touch.
