I usually don’t go to Starbucks, but because they were trying to accommodate my needs with a gluten free option I decided to support them. I enjoyed the orange cake and ordered it on several occasions. Now I won’t be seeking out Starbucks and when I am there I will be, by necessity, ordering less. Sorry to say,

It was sooooooo amazing to have such a great food option at Starbucks. And then, so quickly, it was gone.
Please bring that great orange cake back.

My celiac wife loved these and now they are gone. Very unfair that she can’t find anything SAFE to eat at Starbucks. We travel frequently and many other countries are so accommodating to the gluten intolerant. Bad marketing decision due to poor training I think. Better strategy would solve the problem and create a market that is still untapped.

Imagine my dismay when I went for my free pastry on July 21 (special Facebook offer) and was told at my local Starbucks that they had discontinued the GF cake. I was soooooo disappointed! I go there several times a week and finally was excited that I had something I could eat. The orange cake was good—way too sweet, though—-but there are so many other options they could offer to the many celiacs who patronize their stores. Very disappointing!

With the number of celiacs/ wheat intolerant people growing all the time, it just makes good sense for vendors to be mindful of what people want. I know many folks who choose Gluten Free, even tho they are not Celiac, just because they feel better when they make the healthier choices. We also tend to avoid products with HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). Thank you.

This is such a shame as the cake was better than most GF things I have purchased off the shelves. I modify family recipes with GF flour and the taste of those are great. I visited many Starbucks where the employess were clueless about the cakes. Even heard them telling customers they were made without REAL flour so they had to taste awful and suggested they not be bought??? Come on people – they were really OK. And, since they kept them frozen several talked about how they forgot to take them out in the morning to thaw on the top of their brew machines?? Again – come on. Perhaps a different approach with the handling and amt ordered would help. Something else – chocolate perhaps would also be appreciated BUT PLEASE DO NOT FORGET US.
