Let's get Starbucks to bring back the Valencia Orange Cake!

Ross Cohen,
First one!

Kay Cohen,
I love this cake. It's great for non-GF people who are worried about carbs, too!

Rodger Nayak,
Bring back the Orange Cake!!!

Annette Robertson,

Mike @ Switch2glutenfree,

Megan Ainsworth,

Heather Strang,
Gluten-free is one of the largest growing food segments. Don't alienate this portion of your population. I haven't been to a Starbucks until I heard about the cake - simply because I couldn't eat anything that you offered. Bring it back!

Kate,
Please bring it back!

Michele Black,
Give us more, not less! Keep the cake AND add the health bar. Give your gf customers choices, just like you do for your "normal" customers.

Stephanie O\'Dea,

Mike,
The GF cake rocked.

Cara Beth Buie,
Bring it back please! It was my weekly GF slurge and I looked forward to it every week.

Isaiah Benjamin,

Maureen Stanley (Hold The Gluten Podcast),

Jennifer Rafferty,
It's a real blow to the gluten-free, celiac community that you would remove this item from your offerings. I would like to hear some specific reasons why it was taken off the market, or better yet, please just bring it back.

Anne,
Please being back the Valencia Orange cake, it made me SO happy!!

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep the GF Cake!

xxxxxxxx,
3 million Americans have Celiac disease or gluten intolerance--don't alienate us!

Kate House,

Shari Pisko,
please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake.. it's very hard to find gluten free products to begin with and when you finally came out with this product I was so happy!! it is absolutely delicious! I am very upset you discontinued it :(

xxxxxxxx,
Please please bring back the GF cake! It was yummy, and I've bought it all the time since it's come out!!

Carla,
it was an excellent very good piece of cake-please reconsider and keep orange valencia cake.

Sean LaFianza,

xxxxxxxx,

Linda Etherton,

Marianne Lohrman,
Try & try again, please?

xxxxxxxx,
Come on - FINALLY I could order a munchie with my coffee with girlfriends. Do we have to seek out the other coffee shops that DO offer gluten free treats? (In my area - there are two that I know of and I live in a SMALL town!)

Liz Craig,
I never even knew you had gluten-free cake, or I would have come in. Please have it again, for the sake of all the gluten-intolerant people having to bring their own food along wherever they go.

xxxxxxxx,

Liz Carr,

xxxxxxxx,
please bring back the orange cake..it was tasty..filling...with protein (instead of refined flour)...pre-packaged to avoid cross-contamination!

Dana Lewis,

Nicole Nelson,

xxxxxxxx,
Please find a gf treat for those of us who go to Starbucks.

Bill Banks,
PLEASE KEEP IT!!! Changed my social life!

Carin Ritter,
Please bring back the only decent gluten-free option you had. The Kind bars are no substitute for CAKE.

Jess,

xxxxxxxx,
Though I am not gluten-free, I believe those who are unable or choose not to consume gluten should have a snack choice at Starbucks.

Erin Elberson,
This cake was an opportunity to have a wonderful tasting and safe sweet with my coffee-please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Laurie,
PPLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE

I'm not gluten free, but I know my g/f friends certainly appreciate the option. Please let them still be able to enjoy g/f baked goods!

Molly Murphy,

Amanda Watson,

shanna trenholm,
Please! if not this, another gluten-free option.

Grace Goodwin,

Thomas Fitzpatrick-Kittle,

Carrie DuShey,

Jennifer Bianchi,
Life was just starting to feel normal again, walk into a coffee shop and have a pastry with my coffee, please bring something gluten free back

Alta Mantsch,
These cakes are wonderful, and great for GF people!

Margot Chapman,
How can you take away gluten-free cake when the gf folks love it! How disappointing

Danielle,

xxxxxxxx,

Stacy,

Lila Gómez,

Vicki Bolduc,
Bring back the gluten free cake! And while you're at it, bring back my Starbucks! :(

Please bring it back!!

CTJen,
Starbuck has (had?) a gluten-free treat? Perhaps sales would improve if people knew about it.

Amanda Shiffler,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I appreciate Starbucks' efforts to serve the celiac community, and if the VO cake isn't feasible, I do hop you'll try something else. Thanks!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
In a struggling economy, why would you not bring back an item that makes your store accessible to a huge portion of the population who otherwise would not buy food with you?

xxxxxxxx,

Shannon Fleming,
I'm not GF, but I think that there should at least be one option.

xxxxxxxx,
If more of your drink options were safe for celiacs you'd be sure to sell more cake too, but we will take what we can get.

Derek Springer,
I ordered one every time I came in, please bring it back!

Molly Wey,

Steve,

xxxxxxxx,

Sara Boswell,

Jen Mayer,
We loved this!!! Don't take it away!

xxxxxxxx,
It was so nice to have something safe for my son to eat at Starbucks :(.

Angie Jones,
I just found out I had to be gf and was so excited that Starbucks had an option for me that I went the very day I found out and had one. It was so good. I am soooo disappointed that you are pulling the plug as my husband and I spend so much time at Starbucks! Please don't!

xxxxxxxx,
This cake is delicious. Please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,

Stacy Lane,
If you decide to discontinue the orange cake, please replace it with another gluten free option!

Dan,
Always in favor of more gluten-free products in mainstream stores.

xxxxxxxx,
don't like coffee but LOVE Valencia Orange Cake

Linda Goldkrantz,
I go to Starbucks over other coffee places, whenever it is possible, because I could get the gluten-free cake. Without a gf option at Starbucks, I will resume going to other places that are sometimes more convenient for me, and sometimes less expensive. I really would appreciate your having gluten-free options. About four or five years ago, I got gluten-free biscotti at Starbucks in Sydney, Australia! It was delicious, but not available here. Why not bring that out? They're in a sealed wrapper and probably have a decent shelf-life. Thank you.

Rhonda Schoenleber,
Airports have few options for gf diets. Starbucks are in every airport, please have this as a option for the travelers.

Dee M.,
Please bring it back, I really enjoyed it!

Jane Oswaks,

xxxxxxxx,
Bring back the gluten free cake. Thank you

Martha Russell,
This is so disappointing!! It was such a treat to be able to enjoy a "goodie" when my husband & I went to Starbucks.

Sarah Chverchko,

Marci Ellsworth,

Britt Hodges,

Penny Schmuecker,
This is the one coffee shop I could go to and have something to eat with my latte. Please----bring back the cake!!

Shannon Aust,
Keep this cake! And send it up north to Canada too, for our friends up there!

Christina Calvino,
Please consider keeping the Valencia Orange cake, or providing another gluten free option for your allergic customers!

xxxxxxxx,
With 8 children in the van with me when I travel, a gluten free snack to go when I get my coffee is wonderful!

Shelley Jones,

xxxxxxxx,
To see the excitement in my 10 year old as he was eating his gluten free Valencia Orange Cake and sipping Starbucks coffee just like everyone else, was wonderful! He has type 1 diabetes in addition to celiac. I took pictures of the event! He was THRILLED!! The cake was SOOOOO good. Please bring it back. Now my son has no interest in drinking a cup of decaf at Starbucks since there's nothing to eat with it.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
We don't have much - let us have our cake

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the awesome orange cake (and ask stores to carry it consistently!)...and please add more GF offerings.

xxxxxxxx,
It's is so nice to have one gluten free food option.

Alana Morales,
Please keep this product - it makes life a little bit nicer for those of us with food allergies!!

Angela Stone,
I didn't realize they'd started offering it and in the past have been bummed there wasn't anything I could have at starbucks. I would totally eat frozen cake (that's what I do at home) and would stop in now and then. Please keep this cake.

xxxxxxxx,
If it's not the orange cake, possibly something else - we love being able to get a treat from Starbucks.

Jen Merrill,

Megan Olsen,

Dan McDowell,

xxxxxxxx,
If it must be replaced, then replace it with another pastry. Not a fruit and nut bar we can get anywhere else.

Janet,
This WAS my reason for choosing Starbucks coffee over Dunkin Donuts.

Jennifer,
More gluten-free products need to be made available. It's not fair.

xxxxxxxx,
Bring it back!!!

xxxxxxxx,

Shelly Bennion,

Sarah LaVigne,
Please bring back this great product! It's so hard for me to find quality, convenient treats that suit my gluten and lactose intolerances. The Valencia cake made me a much more frequent Starbucks customer than before.

xxxxxxxx,
Please consider at least another GF option. It was so nice to have something to enjoy at Starbucks. I bought one everytime I saw it available!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Corinne Kaufman,

Megan Spak,

Joy Mendez,
Please don't make my son feel like an outcast. He always looked forward to the one thing he could eat when we visited Starbucks.

Toni Bruno,

Sue Lewis,

xxxxxxxx,
Please put the Valencia Orange Cake back out on the market. It was the one place I could go and pick up something sweet and know it was safe to eat.

xxxxxxxx,
This market segment is growing so quickly only restaurants and establishments who are committed to GF will survive and win the support of customers.

Bobbie,

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep the gluten free orange valencia cake! There are very few gluten free dessert options out there, and we would really appreciate knowing we can count on Starbucks for a safe and delicious treat! Thanks!!

Betsy Beyer,
It is extremely difficult to find safe gluten-free food while traveling. Please especially continue to stock this cake at your airport locations! Thank you.

Jen Dadek,
Actually I would have loved to have found these at my local Starbucks at all...I kept looking. Not ONE around me (and trust me there are tons) ever had any.

Sarah Hambleton,

xxxxxxxx,

Jacob Morvay,

Genevieve Wagner,
Please keep the gluten-free option at Starbucks. So few coffee chains have anything to offer celiacs, and it's nice to be able to go out with friends and be "normal" for a change!

Joanne Freeman,

xxxxxxxx,

Margaret Wright,
Please keep the cake -- it was delicious and the only food item at Starbucks I could eat. I loved it.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Marietta Menchini,
Please reconsider your decision. The Gluten Free community needs your support

Andrea Hektor,
Gluten free cake! You were my main-stay when travelling long distances and not packing enough food in advance... I'd hate to see you go forever...

xxxxxxxx,

Sharon Essner,

Kerri,
What a horrible plan, Starbucks! I really don't like your coffee, but I have gone out of my way to visit your shops for the GF cake. There is no way I will visit again if my only option is Kind bars, a product that I can purchase at any grocery store.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please do not discontinue this product. Gluten free products are not a fad, they are a necessity for a growing segment of the population.

xxxxxxxx,
Especially in your corporate home of Puget Sound, where there are many other places who will compete with you and offer gluten free choices, it would be lovely for Starbucks to continue to be inclusive of its patrons.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
It is delicious! Please don't take it away!!!!

xxxxxxxx,
I have a peant allergy kid- and see how hard it is for you to not eat in any bakery anywhere- do not take away this!

Amy Pickett,

xxxxxxxx,

Amanda Adcox,
Please bring it back, it's amazing!!!

Nicole Richins,
I was impressed that Starbucks realized what a wide spread issue gluten intolerance is. I am very disappointed that they have decided to no longer offer options to this large group of people.

Sandy Kadrie,
Please don't take this away from us! Part of the joy of going into your coffee houses is being able to have something to enjoy with your coffee!

xxxxxxxx,
This is an increasing demographic. Even my local Italian restaurants are now featuring gluten-free meals. PLEASE do not ignore us!

Courtney Holgate,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the cake!

Megan Parker,
Please bring it back!! This is an important stand to show your awareness and contribution to a large demographic of people who want to enjoy your business.

Paige Munson,
It was such a treat to the gluten free community to be able to have a real pastry with our favorite coffee!

Jennifer Meyer,

Jackie Belmore,

xxxxxxxx,
I don't necessarily support Starbucks, but think that every place should have a gluten-free option. So come on, Starbucks, feed your customers!

Dawn Block,

xxxxxxxx,

Amy Schwarzkopf,
I loved this cake, and I'm very disappointed that it'd be so quickly discontinued despite its success. Please to do not confuse desire for options with desire for replacements, we have enough problems finding gluten-free options as it is.

Dawn,
Please reconsider removing the cake from you stores.

xxxxxxxx,
This cake is delicious. My entire family loves it.

Jennifer Lewis,
I just tried this at my local Starbucks and when I say just tried...seriously I mean I just eat this and turned my computer on and saw this link. I had no idea that they were taking it off their menu!!?? Anyway, it was the first time I purchased this and I must say WOW! Does it taste awesome and I thought "wow, finally Starbucks...you are now hip with the times!" Why would they consider taking this off the market??? They are goofy if they do! There are sooooooooooo many out there that can't tolerate gluten!

xxxxxxxx,
I would buy several at a time to eat to bring home and eat throughout the week, but always picked up a Venti Starbucks drink while I was there. Please bring them make - they were moist and tasty!!

xxxxxxxx,
I loved that cake; please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,
I have several gluten-free friends and they need to be able to enjoy a treat with the rest of us!!

xxxxxxxx,

Christine Egli,
It would be such a blessing to have access to gluten-free food at Starbucks again. I appreciate your bringing in Kind bars, but I can usually carry my own bars. Baked goods or biscotti are harder to carry without damaging or crushing and would be more valuable. Especially when traveling.

Susan McGirr,

Viviana Livesay,
I was very disappointed to learn that the Valencia Orange cake was being discontinued. Please bring this delicious gluten free option back to Starbucks! I was driving out of my way to Starbucks (over the closer Dunkin Donuts) for my morning coffee because it was the only place I could get a special gf treat to accompany my latte. I guess I will simply have to go back to D&D for my morning coffee!

xxxxxxxx,

Jessica Huie,
Please bring this item back. It was so nice to be able to get a pastry with my coffee.

xxxxxxxx,
Please do this! So important!!

xxxxxxxx,

Amanda,

Shari Teresi,

barb kehrein,
Gluten-free food would be appreciated.

While you're at it, please consider a nut-free product that is safe for highly-allergic folks/kids to eat would be great.

xxxxxxxx,
at least have some gluten free option if you want a seasonal component to your offerings. I spend more $ at Starbucks than I care to count. A loyal customer.

xxxxxxxx,
Starbucks did a great job of putting out a first-class product. I just don't understand why they can't run with it. I really appreciated having cake with my latte!

Karen Irizarry,

xxxxxxxx,
Great for my son who has few choices. I can not visit a coffee shop without getting him a treat. My visits to Starbucks will be cut back.

xxxxxxxx,
I would like to see you try and offer some form of a Gluten Free item in your locations on a national level.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
These orange cakes were enjoyed many times by my special-needs son on a gluten-free diet. Usually, I just have to tell him, NO, he can't have anything when I get my coffee. It was wonderful while they lated.

Becky Winfrey,
I can't believe it. I personally know 7 people who love coffee and are also gluten intolerant. You'll be missing a lot of customers.

Laurel Smith,
With a daughter who has celiac disease, gluten free snacks are a BIG part of my choice of where to go to eat & drink. Offering gf cakes is important to us.

Emily Curtis,
My son has multiple food allergies. We make it a priority to go to resturants that have things he can eat.

Please bring back the gluten free cake! I

The availability of your GF Valencia Orange Cake brought more happiness than you can imagine to my 6 year old, who is no longer able to eat gluten, eliminating almost all dining "out" for him. Please bring it back so we can continue our mommy & son coffee "dates".

Please keep this wonderful treat! My four year old daughter can finally enjoy a treat anytime I go to Starbuck's. It also offers me a quick treat when we are out and about and I don't come prepared with something special for her. Please consider continuing production of this fantastic cake!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I actuall drove 12 iles each way to get a piece of this gluten free goodie. Please bring it back.

Holly,

Christi,

xxxxxxxx,
Expand your gluten free line! Have gluten free coffee as well!
You'll get lots of business, as more and more people are going gluten free!

xxxxxxxx,
Be a pioneer like General Mills is, keep unique gluten free cake options (not bars you can buy at the store) available for those of us who cannot eat your regular options. Make those of us who must eat gluten free feel welcome to your establishments!
I was only at Starbucks once before you had the gluten free cakes, when you added them I was there at least once a week, now I will not return until gluten free options are back.

xxxxxxxx,

Dana Coughlin,

Jennifer Cockburn,

Amy Clark,
I have celiac disease and it was so nice to see a mainstream company accomodating my needs. I am very disappointed that you have taken it away.

xxxxxxxx,
I loved this cake and was delighted when Starbucks offered something gluten free so I had something to eat when my husband had his blueberry coffee cake.

Nadine Howell,
It was so wonderful to have a main-stream place offer us something other than a lettuce wrap. Please bring back the Gluten Free Orange Cake. Keep them frozen if you must - but available for purchase!

xxxxxxxx,

Tom Stewart,
Please don't get rid of this. It's the one thing my daughter can have at your stores and she absolutely loves it!

xxxxxxxx,
how disappointing.

Crystal Stone,
Gluten Free eaters need options!!

Nancy,

Jan Fry,
I did not go to Starbucks before the Valencia Orange Cake but picked them up on occasion when I was out and about and just wanting something to tide me over. Such a shame to lose customers because of a questionable marketing decision. Please bring it back.

xxxxxxxx,
Bring back some GF options so you can offer to all customers.

xxxxxxxx,
Let's not stop at orange cake, why not add brownies or cookies, too? My kids would love that.

maia,

Mother of a gf/cf autistic daughter - we stopped going to Starbucks because she couldn't have anything.

Melissa Henning,

Emily Combs,

xxxxxxxx,
I'm not gluten-sensitive, but I'm a nurse practitioner in an allergy clinic, so I know many people who are affected by this issue. Having a supply of gluten-free snacks available in a small freezer would accommodate your patrons without risking low sales on any given day.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Maria,

Please bring back the GF orange cake! It is a wonderful treat for those who need that option!

xxxxxxxx,

Jack Bergstrom,
We finally had a safe sweet treat that our celiac child could enjoy amongst all the gluten laden items which other children could freely eat. It also raise others awareness of CD and the GF lifestyle.

xxxxxxxx,
being able to walk into a "mainstream" store and buy a gluten free treat made peopleWANT to go back to Starbucks in gratitude for your efforts!! BAD move to then alienate those loyal fans.

xxxxxxxx,

Holly Varner,

xxxxxxxx,
Bring Back the Orange Cake Please!!!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Options are good. Offering something that meets the specific dietary needs of a group of people is just smart business.

Janel B,
this was so yummy & about the only fast thing I can grab and go when we stop into Starbucks

For just a very brief few months, I had a sense of feeling normal -- a cup-o-Joe and an actual REAL piece of food from Starbucks. It was delicious! Whatever went awry!? Please don't make my only alternative be McCafé/!

xxxxxxxx,
Starbucks you were doing a good think ...keep it up please

Jennifer,

xxxxxxxx,
Please...my son is was so excited that he could purchase a treat when all the other college kids went to Starbucks.

xxxxxxxx,
We love your coffee but need sweets to eat with it-can only eat gluten free

Cassidy Scott,
Please bring it back. Celiacs like cake with their coffee too.

Sharon Ertl,
There should be good tasting options for people who need a gluten-free diet. I would hope that Starbucks cares enough about it's customers that it would continue to provide viable options for people with special needs in their diet.

Erin T,
We really enjoyed this product! It was nice to be able to take my celiac son out for a treat which was available close by.

Please bring back the Orange Cake. It means a lot to my GF friends to have this treat, so it means a lot to me too.

Patricia Clements,
While I am not limited to a gluten-free diet, I have close friends who are. I am just learning that many gluten-free items can be very tasty. Please be fair to those customers who must avoid food items that contain gluten and carry the gluten-free Orange Cake. I would buy it too.

Bonnie Liistro,

This cake was one of the highlights of my Starbuck's experience. If I don't have any bakery options, what's the incentive for me to go to Starbuck's instead of the many other coffee shops around?

It was wonderful to travel and walk into a Starbucks for a gf treat. Thanks for the memories, sorry we have to part company.

xxxxxxxx,
Please consider bringing back a gluten free pastry item. I repeatedly stopped at Starbucks instead of another coffee shop due to the availability of food I could eat. I am seriously disappointed with this decision.

xxxxxxxx,
Gluten free products make it so much easier to socialize with friends. People in need of this type of product are extremely limited on choices of resturaunts...every little bit helps make life more enjoyable. Thanks so much for your consideration.

xxxxxxxx,
I was so excited when I heard that Starbucks was going to have a GF cake...it made me feel human to go in and order my coffee and cake and be able to eat it there...please keep the GF cake...

Sheila MacDonald,
Please help those of us and the increasing amount of folks being diagnosed. I'm not a Starbucks customer but a gluten free treat would draw me.

Tiffani,
My son felt normal for the first time in a long time. He even made up a song about it in the car. Please help him experience that again. A banana is a rotten choice for a treat when you're ten.

This saved me when I was on a family emergency trip to California. We were going back and forth to the hospital and this was the only place that I could send my family in the morning to have some 'safe' food. Please don't get rid of the orange cake!! PLEASE!

Avril Dannenbaum,
I have one everytime I'm there. If you have to freeze them, do so. Anything, but take them away.

Lauren de Bruin,
I can't imagine the difficulty that gluten-intolerant people have when trying to find suitable baked goods on-the-go (especially if the individual is a children). While I am not gluten intolerant, I think that it is a big plus on the Starbucks image to have taken these customers into consideration. Why not advertise your gluten free options? You would win a lot of customers that way.

I love going to Starbucks and being able to get a treat thats safe and tasty! No other coffee shop gets my money anymore, because Starbuck's cares about what I need... thank you for the cake, please don't get rid of it!

xxxxxxxx,

Danielle,
Please please please don't exorcise this product from your menu. I have LOVED being able to go out and snag and iced tea and Valencia Orange Cake from my local Starbucks when need something yummy and sweet. A little money spent advertising might go a long way, I stumbled on it purely by accident.

xxxxxxxx,
I am so disappointed-- I went to get one just two days ago and was told they wouldn't have any more. Maybe just market them as plain, or try a more crowd-friendly flavor (like chocolate or mocha)?

Linda Sue Buehler,
Like they say, "Finding a non-life-threatening snack in a coffee shop shouldn't be so hard when you go in with your gluten-intolerant child. These can be kept frozen."

Carrie F.,
PLEASE do not discontinue the gluten free cake! It is such a wonderful option to the gluten free community. I would buy it more often if it was available at more stores!!

Diana Stephens,

xxxxxxxx,
Let those who follow a gluten-free diet enjoy a true treat at your stores!

Dear Starbucks.
I don't know what number cruncher told you this was a bad idea to keep on the shelves... but quite frankly, it's moronic to yank something like this with the market base of gluten free consumers growing at such a huge rate.

I'm not gluten-free, but seeing the cake made me feel really good about Starbucks as a company. I have many friends who need these products, and I know what a hard time they have. Plus, it sounded really good and appealing to me without the dietary requirement!

Deborah Huha,
I have several family members who can only eat this one item at your store. By getting rid of it you will loose all of our business. Please keep this on your menu. Even if its frozen and needs to go in the micro. thanks so much.

Please think of serving it in Canada in addition to the US! I ate it in the US on June 4th the day it came out and it was delicious! Great to have with a hot chocolate!

We used to visit Starbucks frequently, but then when we had to change our diet to gluten-free, dairy-free, we couldn't go anymore. Since Starbucks started serving the orange cake, though, we've started going back to Starbucks. If I think to bring my coconut milk, I even get a latte, too. Otherwise, my kiddo gets a blended strawberry lemonade. Anyway, there's no point in going to Starbucks for a fruit and nut bar. I can buy a fruit and nut bar anywhere. I can't get a good gluten-free, dairy-free cake anywhere else, though. :(

Erika Rutten,

Nora Mollmann,
Perhaps some advertising would improve your sales. Or even some signage in the store.

Peter Michael Marino,
I was sold out so often, I assume it was a big seller!

I was the first celiac to purchase a Valencia Orange Cake on the first day it was available at my local Starbucks. Lets just say I was there early. They are delicious, and I was so impressed with the ingredients used to make them! I felt like you had picked top quality for your GF clientele. And they are so good that non-celiacs love them too. I have even discovered that they are delicious right out of the freezer. Please don't take them away, start advertising that you're providing a GF product!

Michelle Alexus,

Alli Tierney,

Jim Tierney,

Helen Sanders,
The cake was delicious and what a treat - as a gluten free person for 30 years I truly appreciated the effort on Starbucks part to provide a safe offering that was also fantastic. Please bring it back.

Jennifer Harris,
Please continue to offer the only GF pastry option in stores around the U.S. I don't even drink coffee, so I went to Starbucks for the first time ever to buy the cake.

Jessie Henninger,
Please bring back the orange cake! We GF'ers can't have bagels or cookies or croissants. A meal replacement bar just isn't the same kind of treat and doesn't seem a suitable equivalent.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
If you cannot bring back this cake for some valid reason, please replace it with another gf cake. Pre-packaged snack bars are not a substitute for a real cake treat. I was able to go to Starbucks with my husband for the first time in years and was excited to have that option. We won't go back now because there isnothing there I want to eat.

Our entire family dines at places (P.F. Changs) for one member to enjoy a gluten-free food. Please bring back Valencia Orange Cake -- and why not add a G.F. brownie too? We would like to have our cake and eat it too. I cannot tell you how much it means to a teenager and how many trips the entire family will make to Starbucks for a gf snack for him.

xxxxxxxx,

Please bring back the Orange Valencia Cake. My son was diagnosed with celiac at 18 months at which point we discovered all members of our family had been suffering from celiac. It was so nice to be able to stop at a Starbucks and have the Orange Valencia Cake when travelling. I would really love if you brought back this cake so our family can enjoy Starbucks again. "A lot of families with celiac don't have the opportunity for things like this alot" says my 8 year old daughter. PLEASE consider the needs of your gluten free customers before you discontinue this product.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Until I saw this petition I didn't even know this was available! My daughter and I are always in the Decatur, GA Starbucks. Both of us are gf. What a treat this would be.

Wendy Miller,
I was happy that starbuck's finally had a pastry I could enjoy...especially when traveling. We need more options like this.

We appreciated Starbucks' leadership in offering a gf food - please bring the gf food back - maybe even offering more than one gf food would be good, and maybe advertising that the gf food is available would help.

Linda Nosich,
My teenage son & I loved the Valencia Orange Cake. Selling it enable him to enjoy the coffes & have bite to eat with his friends who frequent Starbucks. The Celiacs' hope is to keep finding places willing to accomodate their dietary needs. Instead of deleteing this item it would be great if you offered other selections. Sales maybe slow in the beginning, but as word of mouth spreads the news your additions of gluten free items would definitely increase your business.

xxxxxxxx,
Please don't take away a safe treat. There are so few as it is.

Melanie Blair,
Please give us a reason to come to your stores!!

Carlena Weeks,
I often don't go to places like Starbucks because of the lack of GF options.

I have really enjoyed this cake. I thought Starbucks was very progressive for even trying this. But to only give it a small time to catch on with no advertising in the store seems counter productive. Almost like you wanted it to fail.

I am currently visiting San Francisco and was delighted to discover (at a competitor) gluten-free selection of brownies and cookies (made in WA) at the Westfield mall building, out side of Nordstroms.

Starbucks has such a diverse range of gluten-free products in England -- sweet treats and sandwiches! I was happy to see that finally the company was taking care of its home country needs as well.

Firstly, Starbucks should bring back the orange-valenica cake. Secondly, start gluten-free sandwiches as well. You have a ready-made customer base. When companies like General Mills are changing their existing products to make them GF, why would Starbucks -- a smart company -- go backwards?

xxxxxxxx,
There is a demand, really!

xxxxxxxx,

Karen Shultz,
Truly good gluten free items should be edible and enjoyable by people who are able to eat gluten. Focus on the Orange Cake not the gluten free when marketing it in general terms. Gluten free people will see the label and know. All staff should know as well. When you exclude gluten free consumers from eating you asking them to leave.....

xxxxxxxx,
Any gluten-free options are a delight! Until there are gluten-free options, I won't even consider returning to Starbucks.

I have heard that you discontinued the orange cake due to "lack of sales." Well, no wonder -- you didn't exactly advertise it, did you? I had no idea that you had a gluten-free item on your menu, and neither did anyone I know. If I had known that you had this item, my husband and I would have been stopping at Starbucks instead of someplace else.

Mary Lou Giannakoulis,

xxxxxxxx,
GF options are always a welcome treat!

Carla,
I just became AWARE of the gluten free choices at your restaurant and my children and I are looking forward to an outing to try them. Perhaps BETTER MARKETING is the answer to saving this option rather than dropping it because it is not taking off as you'd hoped. Thank you for considering this option.

E Tree,
Having celiac, it is difficult to find a place where I can eat and feel safe and comfortable doing so . When I do eat out, with my *1* gluten-free purchase, there are always 1-to-5 additional people eating with me. Although they can eat anywhere, I am the one who chooses where we eat. I value my friends' understanding and that of restaurants/coffee shops that offer gluten-free selections. Please bring back the lovely and delicious Valencia Orange Cake AND add more gluten-free options. Anyone, not just celiacs, can eat and enjoy a delicious gluten-free baked good.

Patricia Gray,

Please bring back the gluten free cake. I have often gone to four different Starbucks in my area in order to be able to purchase this cake for my wife who is a celiac. Many times a store told me that they were sold out. Better advertising would help also. I never saw a single sign in these four stores saying that gluten free cakes were available. Half the time I had to ask for the "gluten free cake" or the "Valencia Orange Cake" before the employee would get them from under the counter. I rarely saw them displayed in the pastry case and it was not obvious that the cake was gluten free unless you already recognized the product.

Julie Garmon,
I love, love, love the orange cake. Don't take it away......

xxxxxxxx,
I went to a Starbucks for the first time in YEARS to try the cake.....won't be going back anytime soon now that it's gone.

Beth Johnson,
Please please reconsider bringing back the cake. There are so few options for us and the cake was a real treat.

Quintina Fuller,
I only just tried the delicious cake on Friday July 17, 2009. I can honestly say that once it is well known, (since only by visiting, did I find you had a gluten free option)... there will be more that buy. It is tasty enough even though without the food allergy will certainly buy this tasty treat. Oshkosh WI

Amanda Ackley,
I understand that the GF cake had a short shelf life --- but instead of taking it away from us, you should advise the stores which carry this DELICIOUS product on how to properly store preservative-free items (i.e. in the freezer). Forecasting is a standard business tool. If the stores know how many they sell each day, they should put that many out, with perhaps 2-3 extra, just in case. This should help reduce waste. GF products can last weeks in the freezer (speaking from personal experience). A GF KIND Bar is NOT an acceptable replacement. There are a number of people who go GF for health reasons -- the groups that went vegetarian, then vegan, but do not NEED to be GF to survive. Many of us who are gluten intolerant and/or have Celiac's still crave that tasty UNhealthy treat -- it lets us feel normal when we get to go out with friends and have a pastry with our coffee. And the KIND bars? Yeah, not that tasty .... and that much fiber? You better be going home after you eat one! Not suitable at all ... you don't replace pastry with a health bar. That's insane. I don't want a health bar with a chocolatey coffee, and I know I'm not the only one.

Ginny Pigott,
I don't drink coffee, but I went to Starbuck's specifically for the Valencia Orange Cake. I hope it will come back.

Judy Geagan,
Please, don't get rid of it. It is the yummiest cake I ever tasted being gluten free. If, you are going to get rid of it, then at least share the recipe so we gluten free, celaic people can enjoy it in our homes when we make it ourselves.

It's really sad to tell my son that after finally being able to go back to enjoy Starbucks, the one item he can have is discontinued. I usually bought two at a time to save for another day. It was nice to sit while I had my cup of java while he ate his muffin. They generally sold out by mid morning...what happened?

xxxxxxxx,
My son is on a wheat and gluten free diet that makes his world better. We just discovered the orange valencia cake to be the best reward ever. He loves it, I love it (w/grande misto coffee) and we can make a bad day into a great day with one of those cakes. If you get rid of the cakes, please find a replacement that is satisfying to your little customers too.
And, please let us know that you have wheat and gluten free products. I discovered it by accident.
And, if you do discontinue it, could you let us know where we can purchase more or at least how about that recipe??

I personally don't care for the coffee Starbucks near me make, but I deliberately stopped in on several occasions to buy the gluten-free orange Valencia cake. Why alienate a growing market by discontinuing this item and replacing it with a bar we can buy anywhere?

xxxxxxxx,
Please don't take it away. It is my only option when I am craving cake short of baking one myself.

xxxxxxxx,
We NEED gluten free options - there are a lot of us out here who would like to go into your shops and be able to spend our money.

A Kind bar, though good, is not a pastry. The Valencia was lovely.

Mindy,
I love the cake! I have only found one Starbucks that carried the cake (in downtown Seattle.) I can no longer enjoy my favorite Starbucks peanut butter cookie due to Celiac disease, so please keep the delicous cake on the menu so I can enjoy a sweet with my Starbucks coffee again. Thank you!

Tamara Greenway,
Help! I wasn't even able to find them to try them!!! It is REALLY hard to find GFCFSF foods, and we can not eat out anywhere. This was going to be a wonderful find for our family. Please bring them back!

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep the cake! While the bars will be appreciated, it was lovely to just stop into a store to pick up a treat. Your addition of gluten free treats actually made me come back to your stores - the first time in years. My family was also able to go to your stores to pick up the Valencia cake for me when I was recently in the hospital - it was one of the only things I ate while I was there. Please reconsider.

Charlene Schwieger,

My daughter is a Starbucks lover but also has Celiac's

Eileen Cooper,
My son is GFCF and LOVES these. Every time we go to Starbucks they are sold out. Please keep them!

Patti Spice,
Many of my friends who do not have celiac disease have been purchasing them also because they are trying to eat healthier and want that "sweet snack" when they pick up their morning coffee. Being a celiac myself, I was really bummed out. I live in Indiana and there is a Starbuck's right around the corner from where I live. My husband would go early in the morning and surprise me when I woke up! You don't know how good it felt when my friend (who worked at that location called me soooo excited to tell me that they NOW carry gluten free muffins because they care about people. Gluten is the only protein known to man that is not digested in the body and to a celiac it is toxic and can even be deadly. Please, please don't take this away from us. You were the first (there are sporadic bakeries in larger cities in the U.S.) chain restaurant/coffee house/etc. that did this for us and we were ecstatic!! And now what? Again, please don't stop carrying them. We're not even demanding that you carry several flavors of muffins, cookies, or strudels. We just want our Orange muffin that we came to love in such a short time....crying in Indiana

Micki Goad,

My kids love them. It's going to be hard to tell them they can't go to Starbucks anymore.

xxxxxxxx,
i was wishing they came out with other flavors. it was nice to go and get a cup of coffee and a peice of cake almost on any corner!!!!!!!!!

teresa bell,
this petition is letting people with gluten intolerances that there is / or should I say was an option. Please bring it back and now the word is out...maybe you could carry it again and it would bring more business your way!

Karen Merrigan,

S Jenna Lutz,
I have to admit, this gets yanked I'm just going to get my coffee somewhere else. Same with the rest of the family and friends.

xxxxxxxx,
Please, Please, Please!

xxxxxxxx,
My kids & I love this cake, it's one of the few things we can have when we're out and about that is truly safe. Please bring it back.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
PLease do not take away this treat! My 13 year old and I love them, and the fact that we can buy them anywhere there is a Starbucks!

Sarah Baker,

I'm blind and use your Braille menus. Please continue to remember that everyone loves Starbucks!

Gayle Myers,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep offering your gluten free Orange cake, I am a manufacturer of Gluten free products and I LOVED the DELICIOUS gluten free option when I ordered my coffee! :) My entire family are regular customers of Starbucks (one was an employee for a summer ) and all 5 of us are gluten intorelant (its genetic)

David Rubin,
Please!

Thanks.

Please please bring back the GF Orange Cake, it's so great having that option with coffee!

xxxxxxxx,
So few options for gluten free when on the run. We loved the cake and the freedom to go to nearly any corner Starbucks for a quick treat. Please reconsider!!

Emily Gish,

Karis Moore,
I loved the gluten-free valencia cake. We have 2 celiacs in our family and it was such a treat to eat at Starbucks, especially for my 16 year-old daughter who often frequents Starbucks. Please re-consider keeping your gluten-free orange cake! Thanks!

xxxxxxxx,
Good little cake and great price.

Even though I do not have gluten free diet, I know friends who do. Do not deny those who want something good and tasty in their diet.

My daughter is gluten free and this would be great for her and others

Lisa Chase,

Joey Gibson,

Kim Griffin,
It was such a treat to go into a Starbucks hungry and be able to order something that I could eat (without gluten)!

Hillary Smith,

why don't you discontinue one of your many, many, many flavors of biscotti or some of the many gluten based pastries and promote the doggone thing before you pull the plug.

xxxxxxxx,

Jayna Smout,

Diane Cullinane,
It was really good, and I would go out of my way to go to Starbucks to get it.

denene,
Love to see the orange

xxxxxxxx,
I love this cake! It's great for non-GF people who are allergic to dairy! Please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the gluten free cake :)

Paula Matikainen,
This cake is great for people who are allergic to wheat, Celiac, or have a gluten intolerance or sensitivity. Health nuts can have anything they want, but for us there are so few options. In my school alone we had 1 out of 60 people who can't have wheat. When I asked about their family at least one family member couldn't either have gluten or wheat. It is more common then the current records, and the numbers are growing. Their is 90% more gluten in wheat then a hundred years ago, and according to the research humans were never suppose to eat gluten - we can't process it. All the autoimmune diseases are growing, and this is one of the factors. Please be progressive and keep the GF Orange Cake please?

Deirdre Saoirse Moen,
I'm boycotting Starbucks until it comes back. This was seriously good, was the most food-like bread or cake I've ever seen in gluten free. So it was a "treat" -- for some of us, that's why we go to Starbucks -- for a treat. For now, I'll be treating myself elsewhere.

So you can ensure my Starbucks has them again, my zip code is 94025.

Helen Hough,

Cindy Padgett,
I finally found a place to have a bite to eat with friends in the morning. I will find another place now

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back this delicious treat!

Deb Berke,
I want a gluten free scone or roll, not a KIND bar that I can buy anywhere!

Cathy Kramer,
LOVE the muffin. Finally I don't have to stash gluten free snacks in my purse to go to Starbucks.

Jean/John Burnett,
The Valencia Orange cake was such a "Starbuck Treat" for my husband. Please bring it back!

Deena Bailey,
My 13 year old daughter is on a gluten free diet. She loves this cake. She and her friends meet at Starbucks and the cake has been a great treat for her. Please reconsider your decision to remove it from your menu. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Angie Kidd,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back this cake. It was wonderful to know I could drop into a Starbucks for a treat without worrying what was in the item.

Kelly Maher,
This gluten,casien, soy free snack made it very convienent for us to enjoy the simple things in life and include our daughter in the process. She loved the cakes and I am very saddened that they are no longer offered. You offer soy to your milk sensitive customers, and caffeine free to your customers who request that, as well as lite options for those who desire less calorie treats, why not include the customers who can not have these common allergens in your menu as well.

xxxxxxxx,
It is so valuable to me for my daughter to have an option when we go somewhere, as she has wheat allergies.

xxxxxxxx,

Amy Smith,
Please bring this back!!! Gluten intolerance is continuing to grow daily.

Mindy Collier,
It was so great to have that option. The cake tasted geat. We defintely went to Starbucks more when the cake was available. Please bring it back.

xxxxxxxx,

Sandra Whitney,

xxxxxxxx,
My 3-year old daughter loves this cake! For a special treat, we like to go to Starbucks for "coffe (for Mommy) and cake" (for both of us). It is difficult to find safe GF food items at restaurants - please don't take away my daughter's "special treat"!

Julie Zumstein,

xxxxxxxx,
Please be kind and wise enough to let us have a tasty GF snack!

Jennifer Shunick,

xxxxxxxx,
Until the Valencia Orange Cake appeared I had stopped going to Starbucks due to long lines and so-so espresso. But the change to have a GF snack brought me back. If I can't find a GF treat at Starbucks I am happier getting my caffeine at a local coffee bar, since many of them carry foods I can eat. Have you figured out that you are making sales of more than the cake when people buy it?

xxxxxxxx,
Having a GF option available will bring in additional customers. If not the orange cake, a GF brownie is always good. Breakfast, lunch or anytime.

NANCY SHIREY,
please bring it back

xxxxxxxx,

Christa Killingsworth,
I never knew Starbucks had a gluten-free option, it was not advertised or we would have definitely bought more than a few!

The Registrar Team,

The Registrar Team,
Where's the love? Bring back the gluten-free Orange Valencia cake! KindBars are fine, but a nut bar with coffee? We want cake baby!

xxxxxxxx,
I just found out I cannot eat gluten and my family goes to starbucks ALL the time. I would love to have an option while there.

Shelia Cafferty,
If you want me and my family to continue going to Starbucks for an occasional treat, please keep the Valencia Orange Cake in stock.

xxxxxxxx,
Before my son's diagnosis with a wheat allergy, coffee and treats at Starbucks was a favorite treat together. I was thrilled when I heard about the gluten free cake so we could resume this tradition. I hoped it would lead to additional options like a gluten free muffin. I am so disappointed to know that Starbucks discontinued this cake. Please bring somekind of gluten free option back!

xxxxxxxx,

Kristen Loeffler,

Mike Lodico,
The decision to not the GF products affects not just me but where my family and friends will stop to eat or socialize. If there is nothing GF on the menu we dont patronize that establishment. Please bring back GF

Mary Lou Rowe,
Please bring back the GF cake!!

Anamaria Young,

Edie Chapman,
I cannot believe that you are taking the GF Valencia Orange Cake out of the stores. Please reconsider your decision. I buy two and eat one and bring one home with me each time I go.

Becky,

xxxxxxxx,
Bringing back the Valencia Orange Cake, and/or other gluten-free pastries (NOT just bars), would generate immeasurable good will from those of us who cannot enjoy other treats. Please consider doing so.

Debra Braverman,

Anthony Slat,

April Granata,
It's very hard to find gluten free pastries.

Candace Sheets,

Karen Broussard,
We -- and the entire gluten-free community -- were so thrilled with this introduction just a couple months ago. What happened? It was delicious, and I'd even written a blog entry about it on my Gluten Free Travel blog to help spread the word: http://www.glutenfreetravelblog.typepad.com

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I am so surprised that Starbucks decided to retire the Valencia Orange Cake so soon. My son (who works at Starbucks) and I both have to eat gluten free and are so disapointed. It was such a treat for us. Please bring it back and maybe try some advertising.

Verna L Sayers,
So i can go to Staebuck's with friends

Stacey Hammen,
I stopped by and got one of these about once a week as a treat.

Arthur Nelson,

xxxxxxxx,

Julie Reeser,
This was the only reason I went to your store instead of the competition across the street.

Rachel Hyzy,
It is very difficult for Celiacs to find gluten-free product outside of specialty stores. Please do not get rid of your only gluten-free option!

Michele Dudenhoeffer,

xxxxxxxx,

April Gwynn,
I'ts so hard to find a safe and yummy treat...this cake was perfect. Please bring it back!

Jennifer Williams Zwagerman,
I'm sad to see the cake disappearing. I've actually been going to Starbucks in the morning more often now that the cake was available as it was one of the few breakfast options I had. Without the gluten free cake, there's no reason for me to now go out of my way to Starbucks instead of one of the other options available to me.

xxxxxxxx,
It's really astonishing that in this day and age, a chain as large as Starbucks can't have at least one gluten-free option. Bring back the orange cake and create other flavors also!

Robyn Plantz,
Don't take the cake! Imagine me on my knees, begging.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I am not gluten-allergic, but have friends who are. Given the ever-increasing numbers of people who have gluten allergy/intolerance, I'm positive keeping a gluten-free cake option at Starbucks can only be good for business.

Linda Click,

Ann Hayes,
It's very sad to see the Valencia Orange cake disappearing. There's so little safe food to eat out there, and this is a heart-breaker. I am Celiac, and so are two of my young grandchildren. Breaks my heart that they will never know the joy of this special cake. If you're not going to make it though, perhaps you would consider publishing the recipe ??? .

xxxxxxxx,

Julie Steele,
If you want me as a customer, you need to provide gluten free alternatives. Most GF food is delicious & can be enjoyed by all of your customers.

xxxxxxxx,
Please, please, please don't discontinue the Gluten Free Valencia Orange Cake! I've just now come back to Starbucks for coffe because you have this item. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Tamara Stewart,
I only started visiting starbucks when my son could have a treat there. I, too, purchased something when I bought this for him. You will forever lose my business if this is gone. Please keep this in your stores so we, as parents, can give our kids treats in a store [for once].

xxxxxxxx,
The Valencia Orange Cake got me to *go* to Starbucks -- I don't drink coffee, but appreciated the gluten free option.

xxxxxxxx,
why????

Jen R,
I'm not GF, but I would eat this anyway. it sounds delish, and those that are GF should have an option.

Rebecca Shaw,

beatrice,

Heather Corral,

Karen W.,

Judy Graves,
Loved the gluten free orange cake

Marti Grahl,
We have JUST been able to move our Mom's Night Out to Starbucks, so our gluten-free friends could join in with a cake! Please give the cake more time to catch on... we love it here!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back!

Jodi,
Please bring this back so our GF friends can join us out for our Mom's Night Out and not have to sit and watch the other mom's nibbling on goodies.

Michele Slais,
You would really profit from having gluten free dairy free options!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Please bring back the Orange Valencia or another gluten-free treat. It was so helpful and delicious!

mary herauf,

Julia C Fox,
My son and I are both gluten free, and love the fact that we can now have a great tasting cake at starbucks!

Cathy Frank,
It would also be GREAT if you had a GF and Nut free option. I would mean the world to my teen who goes into Strabuck's all the time with her friends to have something she can eat. She'd feel like one of the gang to have that gift!! Thanks for your consideration and all you do to accommodate everyone! CAthy

Georgetta Ciufo,
It's so nice to have a gluten free product available at a mainstream vendor.

B. Gregory,
Before you had the Valencia Orange cake I never went to Starbucks, now I go for coffee and cake.

LeAnne Salin,
Keep the gluten free options coming!!

Erin Gaylord,
I love the cakes and was very excited when my local store started carrying them. Please bring them back. Thank you.

xxxxxxxx,

Elizabeth Kieschnick,
When my son found out you were carrying gluten free cake, he responded, "Now I know I'll never starve! With a Starbucks on every corner, I'll be able to find something to eat anywhere in the world!" We love your Valencia orange cake, and have felt so filled with gratitude every time we've ordered it. Please don't take it away!

Amy Schelemanow,

Michelle Cain,
I have Celiac Disease. Hearing about the Gluten Free cake at Starbucks gave me a sense of security when my husband and I travel (multiple times a year), passing many Starbucks along the way. There is no reason to stop for a latte if they discontinue the cake when I can pick up a 1 coffee at a gas station. The Gluten Free Valencia Orange Cake was the only draw for me and my family.

Michele Browning,
PLEASE do not discontinue the only gluten free option!

xxxxxxxx,
I love cake with my coffee. Please bring it back so I can enjoy! :) PLEASE!

xxxxxxxx,

Wendy Pandolfo,
Please reconsider your decision to discontinue this delicious cake. While it was avaliable, I didn't have to be the "odd man out"---the only one not enjoying a pastry with my coffee!

Timothy Graf,
Please bring back gluten free cake.

Janet Russell,
I love that cake and it was so convenient to pick up when invited to Bday or whatever parties.....I am so sad besides that my favorite is orange.....: (

xxxxxxxx,
FINALLY my teenage daughter could enjoy some time with her friends at Starbucks while eating a piece of the delicious GF cake. We were so supportive of Starbucks making their products available for the gluten intolerant, and have told dozens and dozens of people about the cake.
Please bring it back - otherwise, let's talk to Peets or Coffee Bean or other competitors to include the Gluten Free community!

xxxxxxxx,
I have many friends who must eat a GF diet and go to Starbucks vs. the competition specifically because of this cake! Please don't take it away!

Tina Kaplun,
Please bring back the cake!!!

I loved the valencia cake. Please bring it back!

I am meeting with a friend on Tuesday. We were going to meet at starbucks for an afternoon snack, I am sad to hear the orange cake is gone and debating whether I want to change our meeting location, as there is nothing for me to snack on.

Peg,
everyone needs to have something to eat from the menu

Lorraine DeRogatis,

Tara Petite,
As a vegan, and mom of a child with severe food allergies, we always support items for those with dietary restrictions, and were sad to see a gluten-free option was being eliminated! Please reconsider removing this item from your offerings! Thanks!

Barbara Muhlenberg,
Please please bring back the Gluten free valencia orange cake! Those of us with Celiac Disease (such as myself) would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!

The gluten-free cake is the only food option for myself and my family when we go to your Clifton Park, NY store.

I love the option of getting my daughter a snack when we stop for coffee. Please bring the cake back.

I love these! It is such a treat to go to Starbucks with friends and eat something I like!

Peg Hamilton,
PLEASE bring back the glten free cake to Starbucks. That is the only item my 20 year old son could enjoy at your establishment while his college friends could enjoy any of your other desserts.

Tammy,
I LOVE this cake! Finally an option of something I can pick up in a convenience snack, and now you're removing it! Big Thumbs down, Starbucks!!!

Sarah Paretti,
It would be a real disappointment if this is how starbucks is going to handle those customers with special dietary needs. Big brands like General Mills are developing products with GF in mind. Please keep this cake, and consider other future GF products in your product line.

xxxxxxxx,

Kim Prescott,

xxxxxxxx,
I started meeting friends at Starbucks because I knew I had a gluten free option, I would be really sad if I had to change to my house again!!
I love the Valencia orange Cake!!!!!!!!

xxxxxxxx,

Megan Tichy,
Congratulations SB! By taking it away you actually opened up a huge market for this product, because many people did not even know it existed before all of this excitement. Bring it back with another GF option and you get to win all of us back plus more. Watch your demand soar to an all new high.

Anne Marie Campedelli,

xxxxxxxx,
What, what no more cakes for us at Starbucks? I just found them and now they are gone. How sad, please bring the Valencia Orange Cakes back.
We always go some place that I can have a treat so now you are not only not getting my business but my husband and friends that are with us. It would be worth your while to rethink this one.
Regards,
Lynne

xxxxxxxx,
Work with us -- we will work with you and hopefully everyone will be happy. I love the Valencia Orange Cake.

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep the gluten free available and put a sign with it, I asked at a couple different location and they did not know what I was talking about, so there needs to be some staff education. Thanks

Miriam Gin,

sarah schroeder,
Please bring it back. It is the only place my 3 year old can get a baked treat that is gluten free

Sharon Burket,
I think it is very important to have items that appeal to all. You could potential loose a large customer base over this.

xxxxxxxx,
Add other chocolate GF options as well as the orange cake. Don't take it away.

Karen Canellos,
Come on it is the 1 place my grandaughter can have a treat.

I loved the cake. If others did not, you may wish to consider selling gluten-free brownies or carrot cake. For some reason, it is far easier to make an excellent brownies and carrot cake without gluten than it is to make decent breads and (non-carrot) cakes. In fact, most people seem to PREFER gluten-free brownies and carrot cakes. A pastry chef could probably explain why . . .

xxxxxxxx,

Julie Moor,
This cake is wonderful and with the growing number of people who are discovering they are sensitive to gluten it is a welcome treat!

xxxxxxxx,

jp o\'connor,
I'm an avid Starbucks customer and was frustrated for years not to beable to eat any of the goodies in the counters! The "Valencia Orange" was VERY welcome!! Tasty!! and made me think better of Starbucks!! Please bring it back.

It's the thought of having the Valencia Orange GF Cake that made me come in for coffee!

Lynna Kay M. Parker,
My son and I were sad to see the cake is being discontinued. He felt normal being able to eat cake again from a store.

xxxxxxxx,
We Celiacs tend to be very loyal to companies that help us by providing products we can eat. By removing the Gluten Free cake, we Celiacs will look for other companies who will continue to help us and we will be very loyal to them.

xxxxxxxx,
I am on a Gluten Free diet and so is my grandson

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
My wife and I go to Starbucks everyday and I don't know the economics of it, but Starbucks scored a BIG WIN in the Celiac Community by offering the GF Cake.

Finally, a cake I could eat at Starbucks. Please don't take it away.

Kimberly Pratt,
please bring back the cake!!

Dorothy SanGeorge,

We gluten-free people can find a healthy bar almost anywhere, even carry one in our purse, but we can't find a dessert to have with our coffee or tea hardly anywhere. Bad decision! Thank you.

Jeff SanGeorge,
The cake may be fattening, but it tastes great and it’s all we’ve got! Otherwise I’m left drooling watching someone else eat their pastry with no options.

Teresa Wendt,
The cake was very good but Starbucks needs to promote it.

Katie Parks,
Please add more gluten-free choices instead of taking away the one that you had.

Sandra McLaughlin,

If I don't feel like a company isn't aware of my dietary concern, I won't eat there! It's your choice, but it's my money. :)

I've stopped going to starbucks because I can't bring my daughter a gluten free treat home.

Mary Lou Thomas,

xxxxxxxx,
It is extremely difficult to find desserts in restaurants that are gluten free. We all know that cakes and desserts in general are not "healthy" for regular consumption. We can get gluten free bars at a health store, and very few of them could even come close to being considered a treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee. Please reconsider your decision to remove this cake from your stores.

xxxxxxxx,

Liesa Abrams,

Susan Bromiley,

Scott SanGeorge,
I don't even like the smell of coffee, but sometimes I stop in to get a Chai Tea and a GF treat for a safe, tasty and quick pick me up. Please keep these readily available.

Charles E Owens,

Tom Lanham,
Starbuck's is my most favorite destination for coffee personally, and i travel a fair amount for work and luckily the preson i travel with is also a Starbuck's fan. I was so happy to hear of the Gluten Free cakes as my girlfriend and i go to Starbuck's a lot, and love the fact we can both enjoy a snack while there. Form a presonal perspective i hope you reconsider and keep this item, and also from a business perspective i would think a company like Starbuck's would want to have the captive audience that the celiac's provide. We have such a limited amount of items we can eat at places like yours, and we are a very loyal and vocal group. Word of such things spread very fast. We are also use ot paying more for our food items. Sounds to me like a group you would like to keep. Please reconsider. Thanks!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the Valencia GF product. It was good and it made a difference.

xxxxxxxx,

Mary,
I would go to Starbucks if I knew that there were gf items available (to go with the coffee!).

Audrey Sahadi,

Leann Crown,

xxxxxxxx,
This was the only reason I had been to Starbucks in years. Bring it back!

Barbara Brown,
It is disappointing to find out that the gluten free Valencia Orange Cake has been discontinuted at Starbucks. I have enjoyed this cake several times and the fact that I am able to eat something with my coffee while the person with me is enjoying a "regular" pastry is an experience that I am not often able to enjoy. I have Celiac Disease, and I speak for myself and all who share this disease, please bring back the gluten free orange cake. Thank you.

xxxxxxxx,
To the wonderful people at Starbucks, You are moving in the wrong direction! Look at General Mills. They are building entire gluten free facilities and changing many of their formulas to contain only gluten-free ingredients. Your Valencia Orange Cake sales had distribution problems. Many locations did not display the product or have signage to indicate that you even had this item available. The celiac community was doing our part to spread the word, but promoting it at store level would have been more effective. Pleeeeze bring it back!!!

Jillian Blake,

Kathy Auer,
Please bring back the Orange Valencia gluten free cake!!! They taste great with a cup of your coffee!

Pam Pierri,
I have really enjoyed them. They are a great treat for me.

Kathleen Lawton-Trask,
Bring back the orange cake!

aimee ritchotte,
they didn't sell because you didn't advertise them! I didn't even know they were offered until they were discontinued. Also, they were often covered in mold. Who wants a mold covered cake? Bring them back and ADVERTISE!

PLEASE bring back the gluten-free cake and consider adding more gluten-free recipes!!!

Ivette,
I can't explain how much it meant to be able to walk into a mainstream establishment and have something like this available.

When you discover you have Celiac, you lose your ability to enjoy a spontanious treat. This is what Starbuck's gave us. This is HUGE. It means that we dont have to drag out the Gluten Free cookbooks and countless GF flour mixes and bake.

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the Valencia Orange cake, or perhaps a gluten free blueberry muffin, banana bread, something!! Thank you!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back my only GF option at your place!

I would be very dissapointed to lose this cake. It may not seem like a big deal, but for a celiac being able to sit down with friends in a coffee shop and actually being able to eat something is very special!

Cliff Ha,
You'll seel alot more coffee, too. Without the g-f Valencia Orange cake, we would never go to Starbucks!

Caryn Talty,
We would have bought it more often but you did not have it at any airport locations where we traveled.

xxxxxxxx,
I was unable to purchase these at any of the stores nearby. Visited 6 stores and none had even heard of the Orange valencia cake/muffin. If you discontinued due to lack of sales perhaps it was because stores weren't carrying it or sales staff weren't aware they had the product in the freezer. I did finally eat one last month on vacation to another state after my sister in law visited 2 stores just to find it.

xxxxxxxx,
Please put Valencia cake back and add more GF options!

Meredith White,
Please bring back a gluten free snack.

Nancy Veazey,
We were thrilled with the great tasting gluten free Valencia orange cake--Please do not discontinue it!!

The cake sent a huge signal that there is a need and appreciation for gluten-free options. Please, bring it back (and would love additional items).

xxxxxxxx,
We really need a GF option at Starbuck's. Please keep it available. It is yummy and NEEDED.

Nadine Wawrzyniec,
Please don't take this off the menu, I won't come to Starbucks anymore if there is nothing I can eat there! Thanks.

julie melin,
Please bring back gluten free treats like the orange cake ot the brownie that was test marketed. There are many thousands of us out here who need gluten free choices and going to coffee makes a person feel normal. Thank you

Catherine Renaud,

Allie,
Please give it a try & keep it on the shelves longer! It was SO good and one of the only gluten free options to get on the go that had some substance!

I cried tears of joy when the cake made it's debut... now I'm crying again, but the tears are of sadness. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE AWAY OUR GF CAKE!!! Even my non-GF friends/family loved the tasty treat. Please bring it back!

Joanne Schwartzott,
I guess I won't be coming to Starbucks any more! Once you had the cake available, I came regularly but now I won't. Also, it was great when travelling to know that you'd find an oasis where you could have an tasty and SAFE treat. There're are a lot of us out there who thought we could rely on you - but I guess your reputation for community support isn't what I thought it was. Too bad, Starbucks! You've lost a customer.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Jennifer Ellis,
I'd also really love to see a chocolate option - yummy!

Kim Hanson,
I am disappointed to see this item discontinued.

xxxxxxxx,
I can't imagine why you would not make a gluten free cake available at your coffee shop. It was wonderful to go there and be able to eat like everyone else.

Please, bring back the cake & expand your gluten free choices - many people are avoiding wheat for other reasons, so the market is substantial & worth the effort. Plua, I and others will encourage friends to meet at Starbucks if there's more than coffee available.

Jessica Liston,

Amy Ardzrooni,
My son LOVES this gluten free cake! It has allowed us to go back to visiting Starbucks without upsetting him.

Finally I was able to go to Starbucks and enjoy a cup of joe with my wife (who is NOT gluten-free) and have a tasty treat (note the word "treat" and not healthy snack) while she enjoys hers. It was such a great thing you did by bringing on this great GF addition to your menu. Please don't ruin it by discontinuing it. We are capable of choosing what foods are right for us. Unfortunately, we have very few choices out there in this type of environment. Maybe a solution is to offer both the Valencia Orange cakes AND the Kind Bars. Think about it. Imagine yourself sitting with a friend while they enjoy decadent pastry and you are eating your health conscious bar....

Thank you for your time and consideration of our plea.

Sincerely Gluten-Free

xxxxxxxx,
I did not know you had any gluten-free options and was sad to learn you were taking it away. I would certainly buy one with my coffee and other things if offered

Jen,

Two of my children and 2 of my grandchildren have celiac. I know how hard it is to find true gluten free food, ie treats, outside the home. It was a great disappointment to all of us when Starbucks removed Valencia Orange Cake from their menu. PLEASE bring it back!

I love this cake and a lot of people that don't have to eat gluten free love it too. Please bring it back!

I am not sure why you decided to disconntinue the GF option - big mistake...it actually made me want to come back and get coffee at Starbucks again.

Cyndi Mahler,

Heide Perry,
I wish I had been aware that it was even offered in the first place. No end of money is spent on advertising the newest drink but I am unaware that any advertising was directed to the gluten free patrons. I would actually return as a customer if there is a gluten free option. And I would love to see the employees taught that when you say I cannot have wheat they do not reply we have white bread!

xxxxxxxx,

Andrea Butler,
Please give it another shot with a better product. I don't know of anyone gluten free or not that would pay for and eat a product that was yucky. How about a blondie?

xxxxxxxx,
Seriously...bring it back!

Amie B.,
Pretty please bring it back! I want to try one. I'll buy it. I'm trying to be gluten-free because I have Gluten Intolerance Disorder & this would help me. Plus, I love Starbucks' non-coffee drinks (I don't like coffee & can't handle a ot of caffiene) & baked goods, etc. & would love to be able to get something gluten-free whenever I go there.

Rosemary Giordano,
Maybe not the orange cake, but certainly dont try to push that "Kind" Fruit and Nut bar on me. All that is available to celiacs is "healthy". We do not eat this way because we want to eat "healthy" we eat this way because we HAVE to! Orange was probably not the best flavor choice - how about just a good old fashioned pound cake? It is so frustrating going in to Starbucks and seeing the display with all the goodies and not being able to have any? Just because Icky Orange didn't work, try again! Advertise that you have gluten free (I never saw an ad) and make it tasty!

Marianne Schneider,
Also bring back brewed decaf at night time!!! Thanks!

Karen Girard,
Give us a gluten-free option! If not the orange cake, how about a nice gf brownie??? It's just mean-spirited to pull the cake after so short a time.

Charyl Smith,
My only other option is to bring my own snack when I meet the girls for coffee.

R. Merry,
Please bring the cake back. Also, try shipping and storing it frozen. That might help with the mold issue.

xxxxxxxx,
Hey now, gluten-free folks need love, too. And people watching their carbs. and people who like orange cake. Come onnnnn.

Deby Yeggy,

Heather Haynes-O\'Brien,
This cake brought me back to Starbucks at least 4 times a week after months of staying away since there were no pastries I could enjoy with my friends. All my gluten-eating friends liked it too! Please, please consider bringing it back!

xxxxxxxx,
PLEASE bring back the gluten free orange cake!! We have limited options as it is. You have the opportunity to be one of the leaders.

Judy Crawford,

Jan,
I never even got to try it because the Starbuck's locations I went to didn't have the cake available and didn't even know what it was. Perhaps part of the problem of not selling enough of them was not training the Starbuck's employees on the new item.

Caryn Lavocat,

Susan Daubney,

I rarely went to Starbucks until you added the Orange Valencia cake. I can get the Kind Bar at a number of other places. A unique GF option was a huge draw for me personally.

I would not be a Starbucks customer but for this gluten free option. Please bring back the orange cake and continue to expand gluten free options.

I bought all of the ones at the one Starbuck's location that I found that carried them and took them on my trip - so handy! Please bring them back.

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back. I stopped going to Starbucks and just started again b/c of the Valencia cake. You'll have a convert if you bring it back and other Gluten-free treats

Tiffany Cortez,
I love being able to get something tasty when my friends want to go to Starbucks. It's a bummer when you have to get something lame like nuts when everyone else is getting a pastery.

My daughter was so happy to finally be able to get something at Starbucks! Please bring back Gluten-free treat! How about a biscotti? If they weren't selling perhaps it had to do with the fact that staff often did not know about them and in some stores they were not even displayed. Please, please, please bring back some kind of GF treat, advertise it and educate your employees about it. I know it'll sell!

Cinde Shields,
I heard that you are considering replacing the orange cake with some kind of fruit/nut granola bar. I urge you to bring back the orange cake or another BAKED treat instead of the fruit/nut bar. It is baked goods that the gluten free community can't find in restaurants, and what we crave. We can eat a fruit/nut bar anytime and do not consider this a treat.

Trish Rose,

We loved this cake!!! It was great anytime.

Bring back the gluten free cake....I havent even had the chance to try it yet!!

Kristin,
I'm not GF but support those who are!

Mary Koneval,
these are a necessity and in high demand

xxxxxxxx,
Keep the cakes. Also, offer the brownies or a cookie of some kind.

Maria Koneval,
PLEASE BRING BACK!

Lisa,
I only recently heard about the GF options here in our area--it would be a wonderful year round offering. Please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please please keep the cake. It was the ONLY thing we could get there. Who wants a granola bar? You go to a coffeeshop to get something fun and for once it felt like celiacs were being thought of and taking this away is insane!!! Also your regular options are MUCH higher in calories and fat so I don't really understand how this item that is much lower was such an issue.

Catherine,
This is one reason I'd go to Starbucks vs. other coffee shops or not at all. Without the GF options, I'm much less likely to spend funds. Please bring it back.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

Kelley,
Having something gluten-free readily available actually was a major selling point for Starbucks, for me, and resulted in me choosing Starbucks over other coffeehouses sometimes. If it goes away, my business will as well, at least in some situations.

Andrea Sevetson,

Taca Foster,

Perhaps refrigeration would help lengthen the shelf life? Gluten free cookies may last longer as well - I often buy frozen gluten free cookie dough and cook them as I need them to keep them fresh. I'm sure your stores could do the same.

Mary Beth Purchase,

Katie Nobes,
Please don't discontinue the GF cake. I only got to eat it twice because all the other times I asked about it, the store didn't have any! Without the cake, I have no reason to choose Starbucks over Dunkin Donuts or CC's coffee or PJ's or Seattle's Best or....

xxxxxxxx,
aw come on! finally a treat I could buy for my Gluten free kids when I treated myself to a coffee! what a bummer--you're taking a step backwards!

xxxxxxxx,
they really are delicious and a decent price for a good gluten free snack. Please keep them coming

xxxxxxxx,
It was such fun to be able to take my granddaughter who has celiac disease to a "regular" place to a special treat. I would like to be able to continue to do that.

oh--please--ofh please. I was so excited recently when I saw that you were offering a gluten free item. We, who have such limitations, are ectatic just to have one selection.

This product hasn' t been around long enough for the celiac community to even be aware of it. Don't take it away for God's sake. Promote it!!!!!!

Denise Jania,
Please offer some type of cake or goodie or bagel that is gluten-free!! If the shelf life of the orange cake is the reason for discontinuing it, please find another gluten-free alternative. Something chocolate might appeal to gluten and gluten-free people alike.

xxxxxxxx,
And please have recycling bins as well. We have been asking our local Starbucks for this.

Even though I'm not personally gluten-sensitive, I'm very knowledgeable about the GF community and how wonderful it is to have gluten-free options and to be able to eat a "treat" once in a while - let's keep the cake! Great GF "treat" type recipes at this website: www.GlutenFreeHelp.info

Natalie Romero,
This cake was a real treat for me! I am a loyal customer of Starbucks and I was trilled to learn about the cake coming to stores May 2009, but I don't understand how it can be pulled from the shelves not even 3 months later. I am the president of the Gluten Free Support Group in Miami, FL. The group was just recently put together, 2 months ago with a little over 60 members already, we have been getting so many newly diagnosed patients. At this point patients feel extremely overwhelmed that they will have no food options to enjoy. To learn that you can have a piece of cake with your coffee at Starbucks is like winning the lottery, there’s a sense of hope that living with Celiac Disease for the rest of your life isn’t going to be so bad after all. When I informed members of the group about the new cake, they had no idea it was coming. I question Starbucks lack of advertisement and education to employees, which be a cause to low sales. I went into a few stores asking for the cake and the first response was a blank stare, it wasn't until I explained that it comes already wrapped that they got a better idea. I even had an employee tell me, "yuck you like that" I was shocked! I had to explain to her that this is the only option that I have at Starbucks and Yes I do like it very much! Another problem that I noted was that the cake was never displayed in the case, I'm sure non-gluten free customers would have purchased too if it was offered to them for purchase. If the cake is wrapped there shouldn't be an issue with displaying where all other gluten baked goodies are.
I truly appreciate the effort Starbucks made to provide the celiac community a treat! I just really hope that Starbucks will reconsider their decision to pull this product or at least consider other gluten free options that have a longer shelve life. A gluten free biscotti or a flourless fudge brownie might be better options.
Thank you!

Dionne Kassinger,
A gluten free brownie might have a broader audience and better shelf life.

Lauren Rouse,

Deborah Harris,

Susan Zitnak,

please bring the cake back but also make sure it is sold in areas where people live that are looking for gluten free things. You can tell this by areas in which the doctors are diagnosing celiac patients. Samples need to be given out to everyone to assure the product is good before announcing its gluten free. If people like it, they will buy it regardless.

cheryl rothwell,
please save the valencia orange cake thats gluten free

Kelli Parker,
Why are you discontinuing it? It is SO NICE to have something I can eat with my little boy when we're out. He jumped up and down and yelled CAKE!!! He's 2. Be nice and keep his cake around, okay?

xxxxxxxx,
Why not have both? Why can't we have a treat too like everyone else?

xxxxxxxx,

Perhaps you should develop another gluten free treat that has a longer shelf life. Try working with one of the national celiac organizations in the U.S. and you'll be more successful.

Sandra Harvey,
The cake is a nice treat for Gluten Free people. Don't remove it...Add other GF bakery products

Laura Martin,
PLEASE keep some gluten free items for us!!! My kids loved the orange cake. A flourless brownie would always sell too.

Sybil Nassau,
I thought those little cakes, while delicious, were a little too high in sugar/calories and think it should be a muffin instead, but it's outragteous to cancel it altogether! DAMN!

Beth Kaplan,

Myrna Sterling,

Liz Marr,
Please, I just found out you had it, and now it's gone?

Rachel Martin,
This is so disappointing. It was nice to feel normal, and to be able to buy a real pastry at a coffee shop. Instead of removing it, what about actual ADVERTISING? I never saw any advertising for it whatsoever. My sister and father (both celiac as well) didn't know it existed until I told them, and my sister frequents Starbucks almost weekly. What a blow to the gluten free community. I HATE "health" bars. I can get them anywhere, give me a real pastry.

Tiffany Lance,
I don't even drink coffee, but I was coming into your store just to buy this cake for my son. Bring it back please.

Kurt Gros,
For all my friends with celiac disease!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Soooo disappointed. Please bring back the cake, or another yummy alternative. You have no idea how nice it was to have a convenient place to get a quick coffee and a treat on the go that I knew was safe to eat instead of planning ahead and bringing a boring snack from home.

My daughter has celiac-sprout and we were fabulously excited when you began the GF option. Please consider re-offering or expanding your GF options. I am a regular Starbucks customer and was so pleased to be able to buy my little girl a snack, too. Thank you!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back a gluten free option! Preferably the Valencia Orange Cake!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Valencia Orange Cake brought me back to Starbucks! Please do not give up on such a good thing. It is truly disappointing for the gluten free community and their families. I know that every time I would go to Starbucks, I'd bring in additional business in the form of a friend or two. Bring it back!

marieann marshall,
I was so excited to hear starbucks had a glutten free cake and before i even got a chance to try it you took it away,i was very sad to hear this as its hard to find nything glutten free that taste good,PLEASE<PLEASE bring it back.

I really liked the Valencia Orange Cake! It was very popular at my local Starbuck's on 21st Ave in Portland, Oregon

A vanilla flavored option would be lovely!

Brian Shiffrin,

Dena Reiter,
This was the only treat I could eat from Starbucks.

Stephen McGillivary,
I was never a big starbuck's customer prior to the cake being released. Since I have entered several airport locations while on travel only to find that they did not stock the cake or were sold out. I hope they try again, this is one way to capture my business.

Stacey Gainor,

Maple Garland,
please keep making these cakes

Barry Garman,

xxxxxxxx,
Please give gluten free options! My daughter and I loved the orange cake!

Carolyn,
I was so proud of Star Bucks, bravely leading the way selling gluten free snacks. I am really sad that the cake is being pulled. I hope it isn't going to impact other businesses from adding GF products. It was my mother's day treat and made me sooooo happy!

xxxxxxxx,

Jamie Neal,

Debbie Boxler,

Please re-consider the GF Orange cake or have some other GF items available!

We have tried over 5 Starbucks locations for 2 months to buy the gluten free cake for our 5 year old daughter who has celiac disease. Everytime she was heartbroken that the store was out of stock, but we kept promising her we would keep trying. She was so excited to be able to buy something for her where everyone else got to have a treat and now you are not offering this a little girl, who by the way could grow up into a lifelong consumer.

xxxxxxxx,
I love starbucks and go there a couple times a week. I loved having the GF cake. I would love a chocolate one even more...don't give up on Gluten-Free!!

xxxxxxxx,

This cake made my "on-the-road" stops and Starbucks so much more enjoyable.

Jennifer Williams,
A lot of people require a gluten free diet and I'm sure they would appreciate the alternative to your other items.

This was the one reason I became a starbucks customer. As long as you dont have the gluten free option I will be getting my coffee elsewhere

Ondrea Buchanan,

Wendy Meyers,
It was so NICE to get this GF treat. everyone in my family eats it even if they didnt eat GF foods. My hubby needs to eat GF and thsi was great to find at Starbucks. We would stop there instead of other coffee shops because hew ould get a treat! PLEASE bring them back!

xxxxxxxx,
I really enjoyed this product and came in once a week to make a purchase - instead of once every few months. I'll be back to my old schedule if this product isn't offered.

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back -- It was huge for me to have a treat with my kids.

Mandy Bearden,

NANCY S,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back. It was the only time I could sit down with friends and enjoy a sweet if I chose to. Thank you.

Mary Huch,

Laurel VanBlarcum,
Your Valencia Orange Cake was the only option for many food challenged people and their children. Please look forward to the future not back to the dark ages.

xxxxxxxx,
Is it so hard for so many to find gluten free...with more and more families converting you should do your part of offer this or another GF recipe again.

Dennis Morgan,

xxxxxxxx,
bring it also to Canada, We love to get a GF treat with your coffee.

Bailey Meeker,

Mary,
PLEASE bring it back!

Marianne Grabowski,
My daughter is on a GFCF diet; when the valencia orange cake was introduced we were so excited! Finally, I could bring my daughter to Starbucks with me to get a treat she actually could eat! And, she likes it! Please don't discontinue the Valencia Orange Cake! Starbucks has become our favorite stop for a treat since you introduced the cake. It's wonderful that you have thought of the gluten-free community.

Tami Groth,

Kim Zerfas,
I was told by my local Starbucks that they had to sell all the current frozen baked goods before they could display the GF cake. Now I find out that it will never be an option?! Bad decision.

xxxxxxxx,

Cecilia Cheng,

Kim Vincent,
Please bring it back!

Grace Scruggs,
thank you for putting together such a wonderful option for us gluten free only customers...I hope you will bring the Valencia Orange Cake back along with other delicious choices to help support a large part of your community.

Lindsey thompson,

Please bring the Valencia Orange Cake back. My two sons and I are big fans of your gluten free product.

Albertina Rua,
Please give people gluten-free choices.

Sandie Frantz,

They are very tasty, not too high in calories and very convenient when at your restaurant enjoying a coffee with a friend, we can also have a tasty treat with them!

Anne Wogen,
I can't believe you got rid of this. Why would you alienate so many customers?

Suzanne Lynd,
Bring it back please. What a treat it is to go out and be able to have a goodie with my coffee just like my friends. We Celiacs deserve this treat and are willing to pay for one.

Molly Kempf,
I bought like 6 of these while they were in stores. I love them. Please bring them back. You can even charge more for them! I'll still by them!

Please provide as least one gluten free option at your store. My friend lived off them when you had them.

The gluten-free cake was the only reason we went to Starbucks instead of the local coffee shop.

Please provide as least one gluten free option at your store. My friend lived off them when you had them.

Elizabeth Pearce,
The only reason I go to Starbucks... or should I say went?

Teresa Anderman,
I am in a knitting group that meets at a local Starbucks. We're there for several hours and it would be nice to have something to soak up the coffee!!!

Jada Bradley,
The orange cake brought me back into Starbucks and I purchased other items as a result, suddenly pulling it is discouraging me from returning. And even though I read on Twitter that the decision was made because "people" said it was too much of a treat--I ask who are these people? Don't GF people deserve a treat too?

nancy ellwood,
oh please, bring back the orange goodness! it was so nice to be able to get a gluten-free sweet treat at starbucks, FINALLY! Please keep it going.

Don,
The gluten-free cake was one of the reasons I chose Starbucks over competitors

Ina Sledge,
It was about time - why take it away?

Christine Legon,

xxxxxxxx,

Kristin Ostby,
Gluten-free people gotta eat gluten-free food! Please bring back the yummy gluten-free cake for celiacs everywhere!

Johanna,

Heather,
Finally a GF option...please keep them coming!

Liz Bosco,
I have been so grateful for the delicious gluten-free Valencia Orange cake. Please stock it in every store, forevermore!

Lisa Stiefken,
It didn't sell well because it was not displayed and marketed. Seldom did a store have it when I ask. In fact most didn't know what I was asking for.

Keri Keller,
Finally a treat I get my son who has Celiac when I treat myself to a coffee...and now it's gone! He's 4 and actually would ask me if we could go to Starbucks for a date. Now we can't have our special treat. Cookies would be great too!

xxxxxxxx,
We need more GF, not less.

Christi Newton,

ann,

Jayne Vahle,
Bring this cake back!

Jill Streeter,
All of us on a gluten-free diet were thrilled to see a powerhouse in the coffee house industry come out with a treat we could enjoy. We all realize how expensive it can be to prepare treats that are gluten free so we were especially pleased with Starbucks. Please don't take away our treats!

Elissa Vassilakos,

Megan Bell,

Inez,
This is for my girl.

xxxxxxxx,

Karen Schimpf,
Since you are trying to find new source of business why not GF products, it is one of the fastest growing segments!

xxxxxxxx,
I've been telling all my friends, GF and otherwise, about this delicious cake!

Bring the Valencia Orange Cake back!!!!! Celiac needs love too!!!!

April Crone,

Nicolette Bell,

Melody Vest,
First, you got rid of the fruit & nujt bars which were a great option for those of us that are gluten intolerant, now the cake? One thing I noticed in my market is they don't promote the cake, they keep them in the back, which is what they also did with the fruit & nut bars. Clearly there is a store support issue!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Advertise g-f offerings and we will flock to you!

Kate,

Carol Ansolabehere,
I didn't even have a chance to try it and it was gone!!!

xxxxxxxx,
I love your cake. I was disappointed the last time I was at Starbucks & they didn't have it. It's great to have something to eat like your cake when I travel because there is always a Starbucks around especially since I drink your coffee.

xxxxxxxx,
A fruit and nut bar will not be a substitute.

Greg Conley,
Bring back the orange cake. My daughters and I have CD and we would frequent your stores if we have something good to eat!

Ingrid,
This was delicious, please bring it back. Even my non glutenfree friends enjoyed it.

Lori Lee,

Anita Burnham,
I am allergic to gluten, as well as dairy, corn and potato, so it was wonderful to find a treat I could actually eat-DON'T TAKE IT AWAY!!! My 2 1/2 yo, who is also gluten free, loves them as well.

Erin,
I just had one of these two weeks ago and it was awesome! I was thrilled to have a GF option that was as yummy looking as all the gluten-full offerings at Starbucks!

Eric Warner,
Since I enjoy good coffee, on the one hand it is an incentive for me to go to Starbucks when it has a gluten-free option, on the other it is actually a reason to stay away from Starbucks if I am surrounded only by foods I cannot eat.

Ruth Kenner,
You should also bring out a bigger selection of GF foods!

Melody Haines,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please!!!!

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep the orange cake!

Ashley M,

Robbie McConnell,
What I think hurt sales was that most stores I frequented never had any in stock! I go to one of three Starbucks stores everyday and maybe could get this product once in a weeks time if I was lucky. If you don't keep it in stock it's no wonder sales aren't good. Plus, they did nothing to promote the product within the store. If they would have put samples out I'm sure people who aren't GF would have purchased these cakes they were so good.

Melanie R Thornsburg,

Robbie Hepler,
No GF no customer! Bring back the GF!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back our cakes! It was a great move for the GF community and needs longevity to make an impact.

xxxxxxxx,
The only reason I started going to Starbucks was for this cake. No cake = no business. Sorry!

Sharon Bittner,

Charles Antetomaso,

I have been diagnosed with Celiac for over 25 years and was so excited about this cake!!!

xxxxxxxx,

Pina Tsikaris,
I loved the cake and can't believe that you are taking it away. Try eating gluten free for a week and then you will understand why it was so nice to finally be able to purchase a food item while at your stores. Please bring it back!!

Tania Pineo,
If not the orange cake, we'd love to see a kid friendly brownie or cake!

xxxxxxxx,
It is very difficult to find gluten-free bakery options, and seeing your cake disappear is disappointing. Please bring it back!

Linda Hilbert,
Please bring back your gluten-free cake. Not only was it delicious but was a wonderful treat for my gluten-free child. By the way, the cakes sold like hot cakes (pardon the pun) and the Starbucks we frequent couldn't keep the cake on the shelf.

Brandi,

xxxxxxxx,
I really like Starbucks Valencia Orange Cake. As a celiac, I am very grateful for it. Please do not remove it from your line! Thankyou!

Nicole Corse,
Please bring it back!

Erica Duske,

beth ward,
Been looking forward to trying but can't find it in any Starbucks!

Melissa Wright,
I have bought one every time I go to Starbucks, even if I stick it in the fridge bc I feared that this would happen. I wanted to support a good thing. It was nice to be able to grab a quick yummy treat. That is a luxury that most Celiacs dont have. You have to eat healthy 99% of the time. Please bring it back.

Mary Viox,
It tasted heavenly, please bring it back - it's the only thing I can buy in Starbucks!

xxxxxxxx,
Having a gluten free option to eat while out shopping or touring would be wonderful. I would be more likely to stop into a Starbucks store if I knew that I could grab something to eat along with a drink.

Alise,

julie bradfield,

mark connely,
I stop at starbucks five days a week having a gluten free snack is important to that. please make it happen

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I would choose Starbuck's more frequently if I had a gluten-free option

xxxxxxxx,
I agree with the person below who said we need MORE choices, not less. I love the orange cake! Sure, a healthy GF option would be nice too, but don't take away our choice to have a sweet treat with our coffee! I've gone to Starbucks for coffee more often in the past 2 months since you started offering the GF cake, than in the entire year previous!!!

Cindy Hoffman,
It gave me peace of mind that I could stop at Starbucks and know I could have something safe to eat. I also felt more like everyone else because there was something there I could eat. I'm so dissappointed Starbucks decided to discontinue these.

Heather Moll,
Please don't alienate the celiac/gluten free community by removing this item. We need a safe food option if you want us to continue to visit your stores.

xxxxxxxx,

Mary Creatura,
My local Starbucks never had this but it sure would e nice to get something when my husbasnd gets a cake with our coffee.

Kate,
Total disgrace for them to discontinue. It discredits Gluten Free as a medical issue and makes it look more like a "fad-diet".

Elisabeth Perez,
Please bring back the Gluten-free Orange cake and also offer other gluten-free options so that all may enjoy the Starbucks experience.

Anne Haraburda,
Why did you discontinue this? I'm not a huge fan of orange flavored baked goods, but this was a tasty treat - very moist! In fact, I was hoping that you would begin to offer other gluten free options in addition to the Valencia Orange Cake. Please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,
It's that good that I will drive a long distance out of my way to find a Starbucks if I know that I can get my gluten free cake from you. Remember, we're your captive audience and you're entitled to bragging rights in the press if you help us. And it's yummy for those who are g/f as well. Thanks for considering our request.

Carol Meyer,
I didn't get to try your cake. I am so sad. I was so excited that you had done this. Please bring it back!!

Candee Spence,

xxxxxxxx,
I bought at least one a week.

Katie Halick,

xxxxxxxx,
Only problem I ever had (other than availability!) was sometimes mold, then stringy when pulling apart (ingredients breaking down) -- I think staff needs to know they should be refrigerated, and not sitting on the counter in a basket. I often picked one (or more!) for dessert.

brianna wolin,
gluten free options draw a huge crowd! don't risk the loss of huge amounts of customers!

xxxxxxxx,

Jeff Bogart,

Linda Davis,
Starbuck's is one of the chains that I count on for gluten free food and drink when I travel.

Ashleigh Latham,
It was so nice to finally know that no matter where I went there would always be some food that I could eat.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please, please, please bring back the gluten free Valencia Orange Cake. The treat was my reason for going to Starbucks, and I was happy that such a popular chain was thinking of our gluten free needs.

Marla Carney,
I will not go back to Starbuck's until the gluten-free option is restored!

Amy Thoni,

xxxxxxxx,
The Valencia Orange cake was DELICIOUS!!!

Gabriele Malon,
This explains why I could never locate them on my vacation trip last week. I diligently searched Starbucks in Pa and NJ!

david adami,

xxxxxxxx,

T. Mosey,

xxxxxxxx,
I will not go to Starbuck's again if the Valencia Orange Cake is discontinued. Kind bars are a lousy substitute. I can buy them more cheaply in bulk, anyway, and just carry one with me, and get coffee or tea at McD's if necessary (also way cheaper than Starbuck's).

xxxxxxxx,
it's such a rare find to have a mainstream eatery offer a treat for my daughter to eat instead of having to travel a 1/2 hour out of our way to find something for her.

Susan McCoy,
I'm not a coffee drinker, but I go to Starbucks for iced tea and your delicious Valencia Orange Cake. Please reconsider bringing this menu item back for those of us that require Gluten/free options. Thank you

Lois Aloe,

xxxxxxxx,

Lisa Lane Cummings,
PLEASE:)

Karen Nepacena,
Please bring it back! And if you develop more GF items, would love to add more to my choices.

Maxine Barrett,
I was just about to send you (Starbucks) a thank you note for offering the gluten free cake in you stores when I got the news that it would be discontinued! I have Celiac Disease and have enjoyed this treat several times recently. I urge you to reconsider and keep this one little lonely gluten free choice for us. Thanks for your consideration.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the Gluten Free cake!

xxxxxxxx,

Carissa Langille,
It was so nice to finally be able to have a treat available that I could eat. I'm so very disappointed now. GF people like sweets too!

xxxxxxxx,
I won't go to Starbucks unless the Gluten Free Valencia Orange cake is available.

Fran Fazio,

Meredith Karner,
This was a great product for people like my husband who love Starbucks but can't eat any of your treats. Please bring it back!

David J. Kempf,
Glutten allergic people loved this cake--how about showing a compassionite side starbucks?

Peggy,
I think you'd be surprised how many of your REGULAR customers need gluten-free products. It would be great if you brought this back!

Marta Pallidine,
Please bring back the Valencia Orange cake. My 12 year old celiac daughter looked forward to it everytime I stopped for a cup of coffe. we are both VERY disasppointed to find it no longer in stores.

Dennis Bell,

Wendi Gordon,
I currently go to Starbucks at least twice a week specifically to get the gluten free orange cake. I don't even drink coffee but that cake is delicious! I've heard you'll be offering a fruit and nut bar instead - no thanks! You'll definitely lose me as a regular customer, and judging by how often the orange cake is sold out at the Starbucks here, I'm guessing you'll lose plenty of money from others, too. Why get rid of a product that is selling so well?

Jesse,

Karen Valentine,
be nice if there was a sign in the store that mentioned the GF cake. I had to ask and it was in the freezer... out of sight.

Ron Bentley,
Starbucks is missing an opportunity to be a player in the fastest growing segment of the food industry.

Katie Valentine,

Abby Crystal,

Diane Fox,
Please bring back this great gluten free treat. It was so nice to be able to stop and get a coffee and a treat!

Kari Smith,
bring it back!

Sophia Rimkeit,
If there were GF things in your cafe's I would buy them all the time!!

Colleen Boyle,

Sharon Halstead,
Please bring back this treat! I would order it and don't have to eat gluten free!

Ginny Torpey,
Please keep a gluten free paistery on your menu

Rick Tuckett,

Charles Halstead,
Of course I would buy this! I am a Starbucks regular who used to love cake or a muffin with my coffee. Bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,
Bring back the Gluten free Orange Cake! NOW!

xxxxxxxx,

Sue MacNeil,
A gf treat is something that would definitely make me choose Starbucks over any other coffee house
! Was nice to have a place to go with friends where there was a treat I could order and feel 'normal'. Bring back the gluten-free orange cake!

xxxxxxxx,
we need this and more GF options

xxxxxxxx,

Judy,
Please Please bring the cake back
There were so many people buying them I can't believe they were not selling as my 3 local stores were usually out of them!!!

Andrea Polanski,

Amy Singer,
Please don't take them away; offer more GF stuff than a cake, we will buy it!

Peg Tuott,

This cake is NOT too unhealthy. look at an ingredient comparison. Please dont make me go back to going in there and getting a drink while staring at all those baked goods i cant have. give us something better than a fruit bar!

Kalli Hulse,
As a college student, I love having a food option when I stay up all night with my coffee in hand. Please bring the gf cake back!

Rachael Sullivan,
I suffer from both soy and lactose intorence and I can sympathise with folks who cannot eat gluten. Please, please make their day by bringing back the Valencia Orange Cake!

suzanne klementowski,
the orange gluten free cake was simple delicious and a real treat with your excellent coffee.

Allie,
I'd go into Starbuck specifically for the GF cake to go w/my caramel/soy latte, since they stopped carrying the GF cake, I stopped going there! Please bring it back soon!!!

If you think that is not a good choice, there are many others. How about brownies? If gluten free is not healthy, there is a problem! If Betty Crocker and General Mills know's the importance, How about a national chain!

A. Meador,
Please bring it back. It tasted great!

xxxxxxxx,
Celiacs need to eat!

Dante\' Fishell,
we really enjoyed having a choice please don't take our only choice away

xxxxxxxx,
Please don't discontinue the GF Valencia Orange Cake! I finally went back to starbucks- as well as my family members- and now I will have nothing to eat there anyomre and no reason to go!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake. It is so difficult to find convenient GF foods.

xxxxxxxx,
Eating out is so hard for people with allergies. Please keep the cake and make it a little easier!

More Gluten Free pastry, not less! Our GF support groups will do the advertising for you by takling up the options you offer in the future.

Emmy Tiderington,
Please! This was the only thing I could eat at Starbucks and my only reason to go to Starbucks!

xxxxxxxx,
Gluten free is good for many! Please bring back Valencia Orange Cake!!!

xxxxxxxx,
I love that cake! It's so nice to have SOMETHING to eat at Starbucks.

Glen Varnado,
In addition to "healthy food" (fruit-and-nut), how about some FUN food.

Emily\'s Cousin Suzanne,
Gluten free is good for many of your customers. Help Emily continue to be your customer, Starbucks! Bring back the Valencia Orange Cake - and maybe a few new gluten free products. This is a corner of the market that has not been fully embraced and captured yet. Carpe diem, Starbucks! Thank you in advance for making a really smart choice by bringing back gluten free products for your loyal customers, like Emily! :)

Robin Scott,
Please bring this back! My husband has a gluten allergy and Its nice to go to your store and be able to enjoy a baked good with him

Priscilla Devlin,
I spend enough money at Starbucks that I believe that it is simply good business to include me, and my friends, with something to eat.

xxxxxxxx,

Holly Ellerton,
Please do not remove this item. If anything make more options available like something with nuts or chocolate.

xxxxxxxx,

Kate Payne,
It's a real deterrent for me to set up meetings of any sort at Starbucks when I know there'll be nothing for me to accompany my coffee.

xxxxxxxx,
Bring back the GF Orange Cake....please

xxxxxxxx,
Please offer some kind of gluten-free pastry for your customers. Thank you.

xxxxxxxx,
your stores need to inform costumers of the product. I have to ask for the cakes. Can't sell what you don't see. I am sure you didn't do that with your coffee products.

Critty,
Bring this back!

xxxxxxxx,
Bring back the gluten-free cake, please!

I'm all for a GF option at Starbucks - the this orange cake was terrible - you should find another bakery to source...my favorite is Spice of Life from Lancaster, PA.

Amanda Brown,
Please don't discontinue it...this is one of the very rare good tasting gluten free items that us celiacs have been enjoying. It is a great on the go and convenient thing. There aren't many places at all where Celiacs can just stop to grab a bite....Starbucks is great...please don't get rid of it.

xxxxxxxx,
My daughter is a celiac and really appreciates this snack. Please do not get rid of it for her sake and for the sake of all other celiacs.

Deborah Shear,

xxxxxxxx,
My daughter is a Celiac and I would appreciate it if this item was not discontinued for the benefit of her and others with Celiac Disease.

Please bring the Valencia Orange Cake Back, it was delicious and a treat that I my 6 year old gluten free child LOVED!

Karen Basen-Engquist,
Please bring this cake back - it was wonderful! and so nice to have an option for a sweet treat when I visit Starbucks!

xxxxxxxx,
This ONE thing that is safe for me to eat when I go anywhere is now being discontinued??? Why I may ask, that this is going away so quickly?

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back

xxxxxxxx,
Bringing back the Valencia Orange Cake would be the greatest thing you can do for Celiac's. Thanks much.

What makes this especially cruel is to be teased with such a wonderful product and then have it withdrawn!

please don't discontinue! i go to starbucks ten times more often because of this cake option!

T. Takeuchi,

Carolyn Marshall,
I didn't believe Starbucks actually carried this item until now!

Mary Liggett,
I haven't even gotten to try it, because every one I went to was already out "for the day." If selling out of an item, I would think it would be a keeper!

patryce phillips,

christine fauth,
What a shame! Please don't take our cake away!!!

Denise Dutton,
Not only is this cake very tasty, it's actually one of the items at Starbucks that's low in staturated fat. Please bring it back!

Diane Halecky,
I don't generally drink coffee, but would go in for the Valencia Orange cake, as it was gluten free. Now, I don't go in at all. Why offer something to a certain section of the public, only to pull it after a few months? Are you anxious to lose customers? Not too bright, Starbucks.

Deborah,
Please keep the Valencia Orange Cake. It is the ONLY reason I go to Starbucks.

xxxxxxxx,

Lizz Pincus,
Bring it back!! Listen to your gluten free customers!!! Don't alienate us!!!

Sylvia Hutchinson,
Please reconsider your decision to drop the Valencia Orange Cake. It means so much to those who can't enjoy all the other sinfully delicious gluton based treats. And you would win points (customers) from those who care.

xxxxxxxx,
Why wasn't this advertised? If low sales was the reason to pull the product, Starbucks can only blame themselves. Try advertising where those of us who stay GF would see it - we would support your efforts. Try us!

xxxxxxxx,
Please, it is not difficult to realize that Starbucks needs to keep some kind of Gluten Free snack option!

Mona rosenberg,
Please bring back the GF cake!!

Mercedes Robertson,
I just had one and I can't beieve they are gone already. It was wonderful. Please Please bring them back!

please have GF offerings for your customers, so they too can enjoy a treat with their cup of java or tea

xxxxxxxx,
Why wasnt this advertised everywhere? By the time I learned about it this happened..I'm very angry that there are not more gluten-free cakes/bagels in Starbucks everywhere.

xxxxxxxx,
please have GF offerings for your customers, so they too can enjoy a treat with their cup of java or tea

Chris,
The G-F cake was the only reason I'd choose Starbucks over DD.

Paul Bucco,
Pleas bring back this gluten-free food option. As celiac disease becomes a more understood condition I urge you, Starbucks, to continue being a front runner in providing menu items for this group.

I'm newly diagnosed gluten intolerant, and Starbucks is now a place I cannot go for a treat like I used to. Please give gluten-sensitive people a choice!

Tina,
I am a loyal Starbucks customer and have been for many, many years. It is all we drink even searching for locations for travel. It is all we brew in our home. This is VERY disappointing. Perhaps marketing could have been better. Perhaps your stores might have taken better care of the items and not had so much waste and they could have done this had they been educated on Celiac. GF foods and the care. I was told in several location they would thaw them by placing on top of the huge coffee brew machines. Really!!!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the cake!!!!

Please keep the Orange Valencia Cake! It was so good, and I NEED GLUTEN FREE!!!!!!!!

Carol D. Sullivan,
Unless you are affected with such sensitivities as gluten it must be very difficult to understand what it is like for someone to walk into your stores and not be able to buy 1 item while looking at all the delicious offerings.

Kasandra Mello,
Oh PLEASE...Having a celiac child its nice to know that there is gluten free available. I pay more for Starbucks coffee because of that fact. Without that....I will go someplace that has cheaper coffee!!

xxxxxxxx,
We LOVED that cake - a rare gluten-free combination of high quality ingredients, delightful taste, great texture and moist, too! We only found it once before it disappeared from all the Starbucks in Sonoma County, CA. I don't usually go to Starbucks because I don't drink coffee, but I was stopping at every Starbucks I saw, looking for a slice of cake.

xxxxxxxx,
although i'm not a coffee drinker, i do like to support businesses that offer GF fare. please don't take the orange cake away!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
You need to pread the word to your customers know when you put something like this out. If gluten-free folks aren't looking for it, the sales will be slow. We generally do not look in the baked section of your store, so wouldn't have known to purchase this product. Please bring it back! Thank you!

Rachel Melia,

Shelley Orenstein,
I can finally go out for coffee and cake with friends, and now you are taking it away. too, bad, you will now have lost more business in this bad economy

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the orange cake. You have no idea how nice it was to be able to go to Starbucks and have a gluten free tasty item.

xxxxxxxx,
We don't have a Starbuck's locally, but I do know that your GF treat was very welcome. If the cake doesn't work, please arrange for something else that will work for you. The Kind bars are a nice offering too. Please keep them.

xxxxxxxx,

Jessica Simone,
Please bring it back!!!

Yvonne Earnshaw,
I wasn't aware there was a GF option at Starbucks. Perhaps more marketing would have helped me and others know there was an option. Please keep a GF option available.

xxxxxxxx,

Barbara Porzio,
I was so stunned to learn the GF cakes at Starbucks were removed from the shelves. It has been a huge disappointment after tasting the delicious muffin that went great with my Starbucks coffee. Please bring them back. I promise I am a healthy eater and would prefer the option of having a GF muffin with my coffee. Thank you.

The gluten free orange cake at Starbucks has allowed my 7 year old daughter and I to enjoy hot chocolate and a snack on Saturday mornings. We had to stop going to Starbucks for 2 years because of the lack of snack items for people with her disorder. Please continue this valuable service to the celiac community.

You have to keep an option for us! We LOVE this orange cake! It's absolutely delicious!

The above is mass produced. This comment is individual and personal. Please listen and continue to offer Valencia Orange Cake! We appreciate all vendors who offer gluten free stuff. It brightens our lives.

Margaret,
I've heard Starbucks discontinued the Valencia Cake because it was too much of a 'treat.' Isn't that for a grown up to decide? And, what about the cakes and cookies that are made with wheat ... are you going to discontinue those because they are a treat???

Lisa Valdez,
I just called your headquarters last week to Thank them for the Valencia Orange Cake. I have 2 kids with Celiac Disease and they loved that cake. I am very dissapointed you are discontinuing this product. I am not planning on purchasing from starbucks unless they keep this cake.

Monica Harding,
Starbucks will loose our business... We are a family of 5 all gluten free!!!!

Dr John A Hamel V,
My family has Celiac Disease, so even though I am not limited to gluten-free items, my family is. By default, I now take my family to places with a gluten-free menu. Please, continue to carry the gluten-free Valencia Orange Cake, and consider adding more gluten-free items to your menu.

xxxxxxxx,
That cake was delicious. It was something I could eat when the rest of the party had a lot of wonderful options.

xxxxxxxx,
It shouldn't be removed without any explanation.

xxxxxxxx,
It is great to have a close place to our home that offers a treat for all of us to choose.

Please bring this cake back and add it to all of your locations!!

I was never a big fan of Starbucks, but once they introduced the gluten free cakes I made a point to go there once a week or so; and have encouraged family members to do the same. Such a shame for them to discontinue these cakes.

I am totally disappointed in the company I pay my respects to EVERY Friday morning to (sometimes more often then that during the week). PLEASE re-consider this product and making it available again!

xxxxxxxx,
I often (2-3 times a week!) stop by Starbucks on my way to and from work to pick up a coffee. I have celiac disease and it was great to be able to also get a little treat for myself. Please continue selling the orange cakes!

Aischa Massey,
Please bring back the orange cake. I have just been diagnosed with celiac disease and my husband and I at least have starbucks to share together. I didn't feel like I had to give up Starbucks because you had something I could eat and enjoy.

Rebecca Venezia,
Just when I just had my first gluten free item at Starbucks, you discontinue it. Your decision to discontinue this gf item will make me stop going to Starbucks.

Ann Moore,
Please support the gluten free community.

xxxxxxxx,
It was so wonderful for my son and husband to have a special treat from Starbucks.

xxxxxxxx,
I am very disappointed. I understand that you supposedly got feedback from Celiacs and gluten sensitive people that this wasn't a convenient "grab-and-go" product so instead, you are adding a gluten free KIND snack bar.

This is a very poor decision in my opinion.

There are many, many gluten free snack bars available in grocery stores that anyone that is a Celiac can take with them for a "take-and-go" snack. They don't need to go to a Starbucks to get them.

A delicious, baked cake or muffin product to enjoy while having coffee in the store or to take home is a completely different product and purpose. I would never go out of my way to get a dry snack bar but I would for a good baked product.

Please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake and please add gluten free muffins as well.

Lastly, I will provide the same idea I provided two years ago free-of-charge, in the hopes that it will eventually reach upper management.

All you need to do is to sign a contract with Whole Foods gluten free bakery and start retailing some of their gluten free baked products in your stores. They already have the capacity and distribution chain in place.

Even though you will make less margin, the good-will and increased traffic from Celiacs and other gluten sensitive people should easily make up for the reduced margin.

Thanks.

Please keep the cake! Starbucks coffee and food is a big part of my bosses day and I enjoyed being able to go with her and enjoy it,also.

Charles Kaplan,
This is a huge differentiator for you over other coffee and bagel shops. Don't give up on it. Heck, it has only been out for 2 months and many folks don't yet know of it, or haven't yet adopted their morning habits.

So sad! If there are quality issues please fix it. If it's because you think it's a "treat" better get rid of the billion calorie "slices" of cake you're serving.

Mary Beth Kroeper,

Mary Rita Billo,

xxxxxxxx,
Your company was getting such great publicity for being one of the first to offer such a choice for those who need to eat GF. Why would you stop providing this??

Natalie Shaver,
The Valencia Orange cake was great not only because it is gluten-free, but because it tastes great! When you have to eat gluten-free you don't have too many options. I was very happy that Starbucks gave us the option. Please bring it back.

Patricia Biesen,
Please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake. Also I would love to see you have more non-dairy, non-wheat items.

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring this cake back and add some additional gluten-free options as well! A little variety would be so appreciated, just like you offer every day. Thanks!

Jane Hancock,
I was so happy to see Starbucks lead the way to offering a GF snack. With Starbucks at the forefront, I was hoping other popular bakeries/eateries would follow suit by offering at least one GF food item.

Emily Sherman,
I've been looking for this everywhere; at airports and in town. Please bring it back. We need a place/snack to eat out that we know is safe.

xxxxxxxx,

Sara Waite,
I haven't been able to purchase anything from Starbucks in the past 3 years (since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease) Since the debut of the GF cakes, I've purchased over a dozen in the past 2 months. It allowed me to FINALLY participate with my friends when we'd go out for coffee. It is more than just a muffin, you brought back the excitement & fun of going out with friends. Unless you have Celiac, you don't understand what a gift that is.

Peter cohen,
this is a terrible business decision!! Starbucks needs good PR, not this kind of bad PR!!

Please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake. It is a wonderful treat for those on a GF diet.

I haven't even tried it yet but I want it! I never can get anything at Starbucks and whoever I'm with always feels sorry for me. I could be like everyone else and get to eat a treat. I know you are proposing selling Kind bars (and I eat them frequently) so that's not much of a treat for me. That's like selling plain granola bars to the rest of the crowd. Please bring the cake back!

xxxxxxxx,
I just discovered this item last week and loved it, and now it's gone. Why the heck didn't Starbucks advertise this?

daria mayrose,

1 in 133 people have Celiac. If that"1"can't find good, safe food, they go elsewhere and they usually take a spouse or group of friends who want to socialize together. You don't just lose "1".

My husband stopped and bought the cake for me one Sunday morning when he was getting coffee. I loved it.

I don't like being left out when others are eating treats.

Well, my Sister Alison started the blog for me to save my fattening cakes. As much as this made me laugh. I am in love with these little yummy cakes of delight.

What corporate genius came up with the idea to discontinue the only real GF option you offered? Come on, bring it back!

After reading much authoritative health based literature and seeing how much suffering gluten consumption has caused many of my patients; many who don't even test positive for celiac disease or glutin allergy, I urge you to stand up and play a bigger part of helping people with the suffering gluten is causing many people unawares.

Sue Shuck,
Celiacs are 1% of the population. It this product didn't sell well, it was because it was difficult to find in your stores. Please bring back this delicious snack.

Laura Suskin,
everyone deserves the right for a Starbucks break!

Amy Mason,
Please bring the cake back, and add more. If you had advertised these option, you would have seen more success

xxxxxxxx,
I loved to be able to walk into a "normal" restaurant and be able to order the gf cake. I never left with less than two.

Carolyn Hill,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back that cake.

Denise Brown,
I was so excited to hear you were carrying a GF cake. However, I was only able to find it at one local store. When I was at the Indianapolis Airport recently and asked at the Starbucks facility there if they had any, I was told no, they did not carry this product. Airports are one of the most difficult places to find GF food and I hope you reconsider this decision and make this produce available at all your airport facilities.

Cynthia L. Neff,

Jane Norton,
I can get good coffee many places but the cake was wonderful...now I have no reason to go into Starbucks.

LAUREL PIERRARD,
I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS, BUT ANYTHING THAT IS GLUTEN FREE IS A PLUS WHEN YOU HAVE CELIAC DISEASE

Brenda M Sawyer,
Please bring back the GF cake.

Angelyn Phillips,

Christie Gillen,
Please bring back my gluten-free option. I'm very disappointed in the change.

Please bring the orange cake back. Other GF options would be great too!

xxxxxxxx,
Now there is absolutely NO reason for my wife and I to go to Starbucks now. If I'm not going to be able to eat anything, I might as well get my coffee elsewhere and save myself in the process.

xxxxxxxx,
I enjoyed having the gluten free Valencia Orange Cake it was a nice treat we ask that you please bring it back it is so hard to get a good safe snack.

Susan Mraz,
please bring back gluten free

Lindsay P,
Was this cake offered in Atlanta, GA as well?

Eve Voegeli,
Offer a GF option and we will flock to your business with our friends : )

Sheree,
I had no idea Starbucks had g.f. cake. My son and I used to go to Starbucks on Sunday and have tea and he would have the marble pound cake. After a while we stopped going because he felt terrible that I couldn't eat anything. To say the least, I am heartbroken I was never told about it. Please bring it back and let the public no Starbucks cares about the community that supports them by giving their customers with special needs options.

xxxxxxxx,

Leah Adams, MD,
It is one of the few luxuries that those who have celiac disease have to go out and have something that tastes great that does not have to be made at home or ordered through the mail. With more and more people being diagnosed yearly with this disease purlely because of awareness, your company will be losing out on an ever growing population of people who patronize your stores. Please strongly reconsider keeping the Valencia Orange Cake on your menu. As avid Starbucks coffee lover, the cake was an added lure for me to get my coffee.

Maureen Gaitor,
We wouldn't mind other options either :)

pat lichtenberg,

xxxxxxxx,
It's nice to be able to go OUT and get GF food as opposed to always having to think ahead of time and bake it at home.

Jennifer Hackney,
It is important for restaurants to have options for customers. The GF cake was a great option. Please continue to provide it.

Nancy Waite,
Keep the Valencia Orange GF Cake! A benefit to frequenting Starbucks with my GF daughter!!

My husband who is a celiac was so happy that there was actually something at Starbucks that he could eat! We were excited to think that people who have no choice but to eat gluten free had finally been recognized by Starbucks.

xxxxxxxx,

Don Jones,
I am the husband of a woman with celiac disease (a gluten sensitivity) and she really enjoyed the gluten-free Valencia Orange Cake. So you're saving me some $ by taking it away, but I'd rather have it back :-)

Deby Thirtle Hudson,

Nina,
It was such a relief to find out that my favorite coffee house was offering a safe treat for me to have. Please bring it back.

xxxxxxxx,

Lori Boos,
I don't suffer from celiacs personally, but have a son that does. It is difficult for them to find gluten-free foods anywhere. It is nice when they can go to a restaurant and have the gluten-free foods available to them. Please bring the cake back, or some other gluten-free choice.

Patty DeAngelus-Hathaway,

xxxxxxxx,

Jordan Travis,
It's so nice to have safe things to eat in "mainstream" restaurants and food outlets. It can be so alienating to be a Celiac! I would love to see the cake stay. :)

Reema Mohini,

xxxxxxxx,
I just found out about this on Tuesday. I went to 2 Starbucks (and in RI that's saying a LOT). Neither had it. I was so bummed.

xxxxxxxx,
My nephew has gluten sensitive enteropathy. Please do not discontinue this gluten free option for him.

xxxxxxxx,

Lynne Crevoiserat,
at the two Starbucks I went to they were sold out, I never got to try one, and now really gone?

xxxxxxxx,
If I had know you had an orange gluten free cake I would of been there to try it! You are losing a lot of potential business...

carol stickle,

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
It is so nice to go out for coffee with friends and be able to have something to eat there and not have to bring my own gluten free treat.

Candace Magruder,
Please support the significant portion of your customers who can't eat all those other yummy-looking treats by providing a gluten-free alternative. We love Starbucks now, but we would love you even more if you brought back the cake!

xxxxxxxx,
Gluten Free is needed every where for us!! Keep it on your shelves for options.

robin bolduc,
i work in a retail mall, with many other "celiac" friends. we basically live on starbucks coffee, and now that we can't get the valencia orange cake, we are less likely to visit starbucks at the far end...it's easier and less expensive to just get the coffee that is nearby...their loss!

Saralee Garren,
I hope you will continue providing a gluten free cake. It is a treat to be able to go out to a coffee house and have such a nice treat.

Anna Nixon,
Please keep the gluten-free cakes. It was wonderful having a treat to enjoy with our coffee.

xxxxxxxx,
It would be a good thing for all Starbucks to either bring back the Valencia Orange Cake or offer some other cake or wfgf cookie in its place.

Heather,

Ana Galutera,
Taking this away is aove backwards not forwards given the rise of celiac awareness

Ruth Seiwell,
Gluten free options are difficult to find in coffee type establishments. I admired Starbucks for being a leader to assist those with gluten intolerances. Please reconsider your decision to discontinue the Valencia Orange Cake.

xxxxxxxx,

Kiara,

Katherine Gray,
Please bring it back! It was great to have a dessert option for myself and my kids when we go out to coffee.

I would love to try the gluten free Orange cake at Starbucks at our local Bass Pro. I am very disappointed because I did not even know that they had it and now I won't be able to purchase it.

Please support the gluten free community and consider continuing the GF pastry options.

Carol,
My wonderful loving granddaughter who is 9 years old has to deal with this disease everyday and any food that is available makes her life better.

xxxxxxxx,
Please continue to give Celiacs something to enjoy with their coffee. There are already too few choices! Thank you

Gwen Lorenz,
I LOVED the Valencia cake. Everytime I was going out of town, I'd pick up a couple to take with me! What a treat to be able to pick up a treat

Linda Drury,
Please bring this back with other gluten free items!!!

Nancy Edwards,
I have a niece with Celiac Disease and it breaks my heart to see her not enjoy the foods others do!

Yvonne Jorge,
I never went to Starbucks until they offered this gf cake. If they discontinue it, I probably won't go back there again. Please don't discontinue it.

xxxxxxxx,

Tara Taft,

Betty Bellarin,
I looked forward to stopping in starbucks and getting coffee and my special cake, I buy 4 at a
time, 1 to eat and 3 to take home. Love them

Maria Jones,
As someone who suffers from Celiac Disease, I was so pleased to see Starbucks finally offering a snack I too could enjoy! I always had envied friends who could have lovely cakes and cookies with their coffee. I do hope you will keep in mind those of us who have to be gluten free and reinstate the orange cake. Thank you!

Barb Wieland,

Nancy Boden,
Please bring it back. SO GOOD

Kim Guidice,
Please bring back the GF orange cake. My son was so excited that he could order a "pastry" just like the rest of us when we were at Starbucks. Thanks!

xxxxxxxx,

Sherry Bryan,
It is rare that Celiac's can enjoy a treat such as this when they are out with friends. Please allow them to have this opportunity at Starbucks. Thank you

My son is celiac, and there are just not enuf places we can go and easily order something delicious without the long tiresome litany of explanations and questions.... Please bring this cake back for him and all the other celiac people who want to comfortably go an enjoy Starbucks like everyone else.

Erin Donahue,
Please bring it back! It makes me choose Starbucks over another chain for my coffee, as I can actually get a snack with it!

Hélène Laviec,

Marilyn Hauck,
No more Starbucks for me until ..

Gary Coley,
This is the only thing I can EAT at Starbucks. Can't we Celiacs have ONE thing for us?

Marie Cuevas,
It is very hard to find a cake that my daughter and I can have. Please bring it back!

Jessica Hickey,
Somehow I felt less marginalized when I could walk into Starbucks and buy a delicious treat just like everyone else.

xxxxxxxx,
GF treats are a must. We do not want them taken away, better yet add them. A chocolate chip cookie or brownie would be great.

Lori D Carey,
I am extremely disappointed in Starbuck's decision to discontinue this delicious GF cake. There are lots of other coffee options...

Jenny Teague,
The more GF options available, the better!

I would go to Starbucks much more often if I had a gluten-free goodie I could order with my soy lattes!

Barbara Schureman,

Jean Norton,
Please bring back your Valencia orange gluten free cakes! I could always look forward to enjoying a gluten-free treat while my friends had their treats when having a great cup of coffee!

Joseph Witkus,
Starbucks, I couldn't even find your Gluten Free Valencia Orange Cake. I don't think you are even giving this a try. If you are going to replace it with the KIND snack bars, that is not a very good substitution. If you need to find other Gluten Free options then maybe you had better do so. The Gluten Free community is muchlarger than you think.

Kristen Yeager,

TK Kenyon,

Cheri Towell,
I have loved the gluten free cake!! Please do not removed them. Keep them frozen then serve as an option. This will reduce cost and waste

Kate Hooker,

Barbara Ann Wrenn,
You mean I can't buy the orange cake anymore? It was the ONE item at Starbuck's that I could buy for my husband and daughter who have Celiac. Please, Starbuck's, bring back your delicious orange cake!

Claire Roberson,
It was such a delicious treat. Please bring it back.

Penny Prudence,
Please please PLEASE don't stop making this. My 6 year old was so excited when she and her sister could have a treat at Starbucks. She cannot have anything else from Starbucks due to gluten sensitivity, so this was such a special thing to our family.

Florence Donovan,
I have 3 other relatives who have celiac disease. It's a growing problem.

xxxxxxxx,
I can only tell you how much I enjoyed the GF Valencia Orange cake. Once a year each summer as a kid I spent a week with my "other" Grandma. I was so frightened to be leaving my home to spend a week with her as that was the only time other than Christmas dinner that I saw her. The first treat she made was her Orange Sponge Cake. It endeared me to her and I could not wait for the annual visit and Grandma's Orange Cake. The first time I bit into your Valencia Orange cake I was with a younger sister and I sreamed for joy. My childhood came flooding back to me. I am so thankful for that memory and I am extremely disappointed that you would get me hooked on a product and then pull it. It is hard in this day and age let alone a GF enviroment to find such quality. Please reconsider

Mary Jp Tuttle,

katherine k robinson,
i recently found out i was allergic to wheat, it'd be so nice to be able to get a treat at starbucks! bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,
With so few gf choices out there, a yummy cake like this is REALLY a treat. Please don't take it away.

xxxxxxxx,

Rebecca Ryder,
Please bring them back. When I travel it was a draw to bring me into starbucks instead of your competition. It is so very difficult to find safe products to enjoy. The cake was very tasty as well.

Andrew Holmes,
This was such a shock to me..what an awful thing to do. I am boycotting starbucks, though my 3-5 cakes a week and the 2-3 pounds a month beans I buy at the store or at groceries wont shut them down. Nor will getting my company to use panera or dunkin donuts for meetings and latrge coffee orders. I was also able to encourage 5 non-celiacs in my office to join me so hopefully others are getting the same kind of support from friends.

xxxxxxxx,

Liz Koehler,

newly diagnosed - would LOVE to have some cake!!

xxxxxxxx,
My daughter and I will be very sad to see this cake gone. It is really hard to find GF options at restaurants. We love getting coffee (for me) and hot chocolate. Please continue to offer this item. We'll come visit at least once a month if you do. Promise!

xxxxxxxx,
There is a need for many of your gluten free customers for this very item. Thank you.

Ira Haber,
I do not need to eat a gluten-free diet, but many of my friends do, and I know how difficult it can be to find good gluten-free prepared foods. And the orange valencia cakes were so good I ate them as well!

Debby Clues,
I was buying them at least two to four at a time. Maybe they weren't properly marketed. It's way to early to give up on us.

Karen Cranford,

Lisa Vance,
I loved these treats! Please bring them back!!

Patricia Minnigh,
I was not one of the lucky ones to get to try the Valencia Cake since the Starbucks in the Gambrills, MD Safeway never carried it. I am doubly disappointed now because I will not be able to buy this at any of the Starbucks! Please reconsider pulling this GF treat from your stores!

Crystal Jones,
I LOVED the Valencia Cake. It was delicious. I would love to see if become a permanent part of the Starbucks menu. It is hard to describe how wonderful it was to actually go into a restaurant and be able to order something safe and delicious.

xxxxxxxx,

Mary Barton,
The gluten free cake was the only reason I went to Starbucks, though I always bought a beverage to accompany it. No cake, no customer - sorry!

Ileen J. Watson,
Please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake for us gluten free customers!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I heard about your GF cake and have searched in several Starbucks in several states, but have never been able to find it. I would LOVE to be able to try it. It would make Starbucks one of the very few places where I could go and eat like everyone else, so it would be the place I would suggest meeting up with friends.

Eva,
Please do not remove from the market. It helps out people that can only have GF products.

xxxxxxxx,

Tracey Stahl,
Please bring back the gluten free orange cake.

xxxxxxxx,

I was thrilled when you first offered this cake - a breath of fresh air in a gluten-filled world. Please keep gluten free items in your stores!!

When Starbucks introduced the gluten-free cake, I set foot in their stores for the first time in years. They had regained an old customer with this inspiring move. I was willing to support a company that was willing to support our community, and looked forward to having a "safe haven" in whatever city I visit. Now, I have no reason to go. I'm very disappointed.

Jeanne Pretto,

Jan Lashbrook,
Please, please, please bring back the gluten free cake!! I just found out that you were discontinuing the cake, and it made me so sad! When I am traveling, or just for a treat (so often denied us Celiac's) I know that I can count on Starbucks for a great coffee and gluten free treat!

Please bring back the Valencia Orange Cake!! On my birthday my friends suprised my with a Starbuck's Valencia Cake for EACH of my birthday years--they were so happy that they could treat me and participate in all of us eating my suprise together! They put a candel in each cake and as I blew out all of the candles, I closed my eyes, made my wish and felt so thankful for my thoughtful friends and for thoughtful Starbucks. We made a plan to do the same every year.That was 3 weeks ago and now I hear that the cakes are going away. I have not told my friends yet -- so please bring them back before I have to break the bad news that Starbucks is a party pooper!!

xxxxxxxx,
I have a 5 yr old son who has Autism and is on a Gluten Free diet. How wonderful it would be that when I go to Starbucks, which I do often, he could have a choice of a goodie besides fruit! Autism affects 1 in 150 children born today so it is certainly an epidemic and many parents have their children on Gluten Free diets which reduces symptoms of autism. It would be a great help to the autism community to have an option for our children at Starbucks!

Sam Clues,
Mr. Schultz, you were recently interviewed by the British newspaper The Guardian and in the article you referred to you said"My mother taught me something at a young age - she said 'you are the company you keep'. PLEASE keep the company of your Gluten Free customers or your mother may never forgive you!

Whitney Jackson,
Gluten-free customers are EXTREMELY loyal!

Lynda Henderson,

Lyle Jaffe,
As you show immense consideration toward the environment by going green in your coffee selection and your environmentally friendly cups, please extend the consideration to those whose dietary restricions require them to carefully select foods that are healthful to them. Gluten-free fare will meet their dietary needs and benefit your highly competitive business.

An option woudl eb to make a flourless choclate dessert that nut allergic peopel coudl eat if that was hampering sales of this cake.

Lynn McGeough,

Oh please? This is such a necessary thing for us. On days when there just isn't time for pulling togethether breakfast, you came up with a safe and delicious alternative. Why fosake us now that we've come to rely on you? Please reconsider.

Kristin McFetters,
A cup of coffee and a treat is exactly what I need on some days. I can buy a "kind" bar anywhere! Bring back the GF cake!

ALAINE KRAKOWSKI,

I stopped visiting Starbucks when I became diagnosed with Celiac. There were no foods that I could eat - so I opted for any place that I could get both coffee and something to tide me over. I was so excited that Starbucks was accommodating those of us who need to be GF, now i am severly disappointed that this trial didn't even last long enough for me take advantage of it.

xxxxxxxx,
please offer more gluten free options

gala,
Bring the gluten free orange cake back.

Ramona Ryker,
I am disappointed that Starbucks would discontinue the gluten-free cake after such a short time. We had barely gotten the word out in our community. The cake could easily be kept in the freezer until needed and I wouldn't even need mine defrosted. It would be so nice to be able to walk into Starbucks and know that I my need for an alternative snack had not been totally ignored. More and more people are learning that they need to be eating gluten-free, the demand for the cake could only increase.

Adrienne Hooker,
Bring it back!!!! PLEASE!!!

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back and when you do I'd like to see it at the location in the Gambrills, MD Safeway!

This cake is a delicious option for individuals with Celiac Disease. Please reconsider your decision.

Pat Fisher,
I'm a dietitian at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Dubuque, Iowa. We have a Starbucks in our store. I see many gluten-free customers and help them in their search for good-tasting foods that are gluten-free. It would be wonderful to provide your gluten-free customers with an option for a sweet treat. Thanks for taking this into consideration.

My office goes to your establishment daily, everyone i my office places an order. It would be a great disappointment to no longer be able to get my breakfast with my morning tea.

Karen Burroughs,
I loved the cake and it was so nice to actually be able to eat with my friends!

Suzette Savard,
We were dismayed during a recent trip to find out that you no longer carry the Valencia Orange Cake. While vacationing we we hoped that my daughter would be able to depend on finding the cakes at airport locations.

Keep the cake and ADD more options as well!

While i didn't care for the orange cake, it was stringy, I do want to see an offering of GF items and think it is the right track. I prefer a brownie, scone or lemon bread similar to current offerings only GF.

Mary Ann Sullivan,

I visit starbucks quite often, probably three times a week. And the reason for this is to have a great Caramel Machiato along with a Gluten Free Orange Valencia Cake!!!

As a gluten intolerant customer at Starbucks, I was delighted to see gluten free products on the menu, even if they weren't my favorite. I would love to see more gluten free choices in the future. Maybe some scones or brownies?

Please bring back the cake--think of the $$ you'd make!

Lee Nelson,
If Ralph's can carry gluten free Chex (Corn, Rice, Etc) Starbucks can continue the Valencia Cake! Having a gluten free option is the current even mainstream wave - so please stay surfing with us - we really appreciate it!!!

Alayna Kramme,
Personally, i wasn't a fan of the stringy orange cakes, but as someone with a gluten-free diet, I definitely would appreciate Starbucks having gluten-free options. Maybe consider adding a scone or muffin option? Definitely would go well with coffee.

It was delicious! Such a treat!

I'm in sales and drive all day long and drink coffee. I use to go to Dunkin Donuts until I discovered your Valencia Orange Cake. I drive around looking for Starbucks now because of this tasty Gluten free cake. Please don't discontinue it!!! I stopped in one in Philly and they didn't have any left. I got directions to the next closest one just to get the cake.

Fonda Olson,
This cake is so good, please don't discontinue it!

C. Krepel,
Perfect w/ coffee. Now I will go somewhere else if all I can get i coffee anyway... :(

Andrea Hoffman,

Cynthia Obianagha,
Please bring back the gluten free cake, and add some new gluten free items as well!!! Thank yoj!

The cake was good but Starbucks never did any advertising for it to let customers know they were even selling it. My local Starbucks never had it listed on drive-thru menu.

Being able to get a treat for my kids while away on vacation and around town on a busy morning is such a life saver. Please don't take this huge "treat" away from us!

Nicole Riordan,
maybe a new flavor? Chocolate!!!?

Jodie Schafer,
Please continue having a yummy gluten-free option. I travel a lot and it is so wonderful to know that I can get something gluten-free to eat

Darlene Haecker,
The last three times I have been to my local Starbucks at least one other person besides myself have asked about the gluten free muffin. I am a Celiac and I was suprised others were asking at the exact time I was there. You are missing out on a large population of loyal customers!

Kelly,
Please bring this back. It was often the only safe thing I could snack on when traveling, which I do often

Tom Armistead,
One percent of people in the U.S. have celiac disease. That's more than 3 million...customers?

Rebekh Marshall,

Austin Farrar,
The Valencia Orange Cake was delicious. Starbucks finally had something I could eat with my coffee. Please bring it, or something similar too it, back!

Jeff Narajka,
NOT too happy with you Starbucks. You finally provided me the incentive to visit you more often, I can make coffee at home. You offered a pleasant place to stop into for a snack.

Toni Brady,
Please keep these gluten free cakes for both my husband and my 5 year old grand daughter...please!

Paula Paradiso,
Couldn't wait to try it and our Starbucks never even carried it - bring it back and distribute it more widely!!

Marilyn Weeber,
I LOVE the cakes! Do NOT discontinue them! One bit of advice: They should be served directly from the freezer for best taste and texture.

xxxxxxxx,
I speak for myself, but I am not interested in another good "snack bar" that is gluten free. Good tasting, nice textured, moist gluten free cake is hard to come by and I would MUCH rather have a place to find one good cake for myself than another place to grab a decent snack bar!

Jennifer Perillo,

Barb Bierbaum,
Please keep the the Valencia Orange cake! My 7 year daughter LOVES it! She has Celiac disease & she thinks it is so cool to be able to go to Starbucks & get a treat like everyone else!

Does Starbucks have any employees that suffer from celiac disease? Have them make the decision!!

David Turkheimer,
I noticed in some of your stores that you are carrying Kind bars, which are gluten-free. Thank you for that! But it's great to be able to go into a Starbucks and get a pastry I can eat! Please keep them!

Nancy Hoffman,
Please bring back the Cake.

Mary Grace,

xxxxxxxx,
This cake is a wonderful surpirse!! It's very moist and doesn't leave that "gritty" taste in your mouth afterwards. I was terribly excited to finally find such a tasty treat so that I could have dessert along with everyone else. PLEASE bring it back!!

Glenda Short,
Why not offer the cake AND a nutritional item. Celiacs would appreciate both!

Marlene Konkoly,

Laura Monte,
After being a devoted dunkin donuts girl and celiac for many years, I started going to starbucks every day once I learned about this cake. It is very delicious and I LOVE that I finally have a pastry option when I go to a coffee house. Please bring back the cake or I will go back to dunkin donuts for my coffee and be very upset that I can no longer enjoy a nice pastry with my coffee in the morning :(

Susan Battles,
It is so nice to be able to get a treat when my friends do... please keep the cake!

Patricia Anne Reichert,
Please keep providing gluten free items. With more and more people having to live gluten free it is very important to be able to go where we can find foods that we can eat.

Nancy Geraci,
I have been going to Starbucks because they offer the gluten free cake, please bring back.
Thank you

Pamela Rawan,
I am so disappointed in Starbucks. I have to continually defend you to Dunkin Donuts lovers here in the NE, and this is how you repay me.

xxxxxxxx,
Please don't alienate the 3 million people who aren't able to eat many of the food products you offer.Finally a treat at Starbucks that we can enjoy. Please add more for us to enjoy.

Wendy Komarnitsky,
I have not been to Starucks in 6 years, it got me to come regularly. I won't come once it is gone. My local shop still has some, but once they are gone, I will be too!

Annette Hannah,
The orange valencia muffin is too delicious to discontinue! Please don't!

PLEASE do not get rid of this. Its so wonderful to be able to finally have a snack while sipping my coffee at my favorite coffeehouse! I do not want to have to look for an alternative place to drink my coffee. Thank you!

Carolyn Connors,
Please bring it back. Now I could enjoy a treat when my husband was eating non GF treats.

Rachel Skerker,

Judy Ashby,
PLEASE don't give up on us! You didn't give it enough time! We are so used to NOT having any choices at Starbucks- not everyone even knew that the GF cake was available. Give us a chance.

Bill Lucas,
The cakes were delicious. There is no other option for customers on a gluten free diet (and for most of us, it's not an OPTION, is a NECCESSITY for our health).

xxxxxxxx,
There are so few public purchase options for GF diets. Why not continue being a stand out?

susan elgin,
The gluten-free valencia orange cake is the reason I come into Starbucks. Without the GF cake there, I will definitely not visit Starbucks as often. Please keep the cake!

jennifer philpot,

Kristn Carpenter,
We loved the Valencia Orange Cake! Please don't take it away. It was a special treat to enjoy when we were at Starbucks.

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep it - it gives me an option when getting my morning coffee.

G R Parker,
Unbelievable! We just heard about the GF cakes and actually walked to Starbucks first thing this morning specifically for them. Whoops, didn't know it was an 80-day dabble for Starbucks.

SBUX: Big points gained, and even more lost....

Leanne M Cooper,
Personally speaking, it wasn't that good, but it was very exciting to have a gluten free option.

Cheryl Archuleta,
Please bring back the orange gluten free cake!

Sandra Carlisle,
The Valencia Orange Cake is wonderful and meant I could sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with a treat like my friend. Without it there is nothing at Starbucks for me to have with my coffee. I was hoping you would expand and add several more, not take away. They are so moist and tasty, PLEASE THINK OF THE CELIAC COMMUNITY and this 71 year old lady.

Cheryl Archuleta,
Please bring back the orange gluten free cake!

xxxxxxxx,
With gluten free cake gone - no reason to stop for coffee

xxxxxxxx,
This was a great treat for GF people. I am very disappointed that they are discontinuing it. I had hoped it would just be the start of offering more GF products.

Art Ekvall,
I love the cakes

xxxxxxxx,
Please continue to offer the gluten free option at Starbucks. It's delicious!

Kristen Lewandowski,
I had it in Philadelphia and it was great!

Please do not discontinue this product. My daughter and I both have to be on gluten-free diets and this was one of the rare places we could go out together for dessert and coffee!

Charlee Duke,

Rebecca Valdez,
One of my three children has celiac disease. One of the most difficult aspects of the disease is our limited choices when dining out. Please keep Starbucks as one of our choices.

xxxxxxxx,
it will be nice to enjoy a treat along with my coffee at starbucks

xxxxxxxx,
My 13-year old son, (who loves going to Starbucks) was absolutely thrilled that he can now go to Starbucks with his friends and fit right in as they all ate their treats. PLEASE bring it back! I have girlfriends who stay off wheat because they want to simply want to cut back. If you get the message out that it is there, I'm sure it will eventually catch on. At least give it a longer period to see. Thanks.

xxxxxxxx,
I've enjoyed visiting Starbucks with friends but could only order a drink until the G/F cake came along. Please don't discontinue it!

Jan Heffington,

xxxxxxxx,
Please keep these gluten-free snacks- there is so little to choose from that it makes me stop at Starbucks when I'm hungry and on the run

Dianna Melville,
It's too hard to see all those yummy looking desserts etc and know I can't eat anything! Please bring back our sole option of being able to indulge when out with friends. Please?!

Sue Rosen,
Starbucks was a pioneer for carrying GF cake, how sad you discontinued this product. The Kind bars you are replacing the cake with happen to be a favorite of mine but I can get them anywhere. I always carry one in my purse so there is no need to buy it from Starbucks at a much higher price.
Please bring back the GF cake!

xxxxxxxx,
I love the cake, only treat I can have when we all go to Starbucks, please reconsider removing this product.

Nancy Connolly,
My son has celiac disease and has been begging to go to Starbucks to get the orange cake. It is wonderful to have a local place that has carries something that he can eat while his Mom has a cup of Joe. Bring back the GF cake!!!

Barbara J. Payne,

xxxxxxxx,

Laurie Reinwald,
Please bring back the cake. Options are limited for my son who has celiac to feel normal with his friends. Having the gluten free cake at Starbucks is one big step to beeling normal.

xxxxxxxx,
It's delicous. Please don't discontinue.

Paul and Teresa Koch,
Our youngest daughter, Rebecca, has Celiac Disease. She also has Down syndrome. She absolutely LOVES your orange cake, as do we! Our family doesn't normally drink coffee, so we haven't ever been to Starbucks; however, when you started carrying your GF cake, we started going to your store, and I fell in love with your frapuccinos. Many times, our local stores were sold out of the cakes - people liked them who DIDN'T have to eat GF. If they were out of the cakes, we didn't buy coffee either - we went to the store for the cake, not the coffee; we purchased the coffee drinks as a sign of our appreciation for the GF cakes!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE keep this cake for people like us who can't go "just" anywhere to get a treat! I can't even begin to tell you how nice it has been to know that we can have something this tasty without having to worry about if it is "safe" or not. You are doing a good thing, and I daresay that you are at the forefront of a soon-to-be booming corner of the restaurant industry.

Kate Szekely,

Please do not give up on providing gluten free products. I did not know you had this or I would have purchased it several times, I go for coffee EVERY MORNING!

Having a sweet with my coffee... What is more a wonderful treat. Being Gluten Free it is hard enough and to find something fresh and tasty then to have had it and now taken away., Not good. My friend can have some coffee cake with her Latte and I have to druel and just watch her eat it and not have my own treat.

xxxxxxxx,

Michelle Kelly,
Please bring back the orange cake and/or other gluten free items for your loyal customers. Many more people have celiac disease than you know and this is a virtually untapped market for you.

It is needed in todays socity

pamela fender,
My celiac son works at Starbucks and loves this cake, the only thing he can eat at Starbucks. Please bring it back! Thank you.

xxxxxxxx,
Expand the options, don't reduce them! The ability to stop for a cup of tea or coffee and a tasty GF baked good, ,just like everyone else does, makes your establishment the default go-to option. Win-win for both of us.

Susan Plaster,
Please keep the gluten free cake. I love Starbucks and will enjoy my visits more if the cake is brought back!

xxxxxxxx,
What a treat to find something you know is gluten free!

Rachel Anderson,

I've been loyal to Starbucks since 2000. Recently, however, when given a choice between Starbucks and Tully's, I've drifted to Tullly's because they always have GF snacks. I haven't had the GF cake yet because I can't find it. Please keep the cake. Tully's beverages just aren't nearly as high quality as Starbucks.

Ann Thompson,
Love the cake. Please do not discontinue selling.

xxxxxxxx,
Your Valencia Orange gluten free cake is really delicious. As a person who has to eat gluten free, I really was thrilled to be able to get a muffin to go with my Starbucks. Please keep it on the menu.

Please bring the Valencia Orange Cake back!!

Please add gluten-free options at your Starbucks in the City of Falls Church, zip code 22046. It would be much appreciated and I would buy more coffee to go with it. Thanks.

I already stock up this where I found for my son because he love and don't want to miss it

Maggie Broadwater,

please bring back. Suggestion to promote it is to offer samples. People are much more likely to buy it if they are given the chance to try a small piece for free first

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please consider gluten free baked products for your customers who cannot eat gluten. There are a lot of gluten intolerant people who love Starbucks.

Ann Ranck,
Gluten free folks are very limited in their treats, need I say more?????

After being diagnosed with celiac, the thing my husband missed the most was cakes. Wen I bought the orange cake at Starbucks he was so happy and could not beleive that delicious cake was gluten free. Please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I loved your gluten-free orange valenica cakes...please don't stop making them. I agree with others that said they weren't advertised very well. The only way I even knew they existed was via an email from Starbucks. Better advertising in the stores might have produced better sales. Also, I am all for making other gluten-free goodies. Thanks!

Brenda Riemenschneider,
PLEASE don't take the GF cake away!!! My daughter has been thrilled with being able to go to our FAVORITE coffee shop and get a treat that's gluten free. You don't know what it's like to be a kid with Celiac Disease and feel like you're not like normal people who can eat anything!!!!!

If you don't like this particular gluten-free item...PLEASE carry another one! It is so important to have at least ONE item available.

It was a real treat to have something with me coffee at Starbucks, just like my friends. Please do continue to offer at least one gluten free item.

xxxxxxxx,

Lea,

Eva Alkire,
Please also expand offering to other stores around the country. There are many of us through out the country who haven't had a chance to try the cake but would love to.

Roxanne Donahue,
We have trusted Starbucks as a source for gluten-free meal substitutes like lattes when travelling or visiting a nearby city. What a wonderful addition whe a gluten-free snack was added recently to Starbucks line-up. We were impressed that it was individually wrapped to assure there was no cross-contaminiation. SInce we are dealing with a life-long diet restriction, not a fad, we urge Starbucks to keep a gluten-free food offering on the menu.

Lori Snellings,

Anytime one can get a gluten free desert with coffee while eating out is a plus for those of us who usually watch others enjoy the sweet. Think about bringing it back

xxxxxxxx,
I love gluten free cake, and I am not gluten intolerant!

Susan Henderson,
I live in a small town that doesn't have a Starbucks. However, I have a daughter that lives in an area that does. I've instructed her to bring me the Valencia Orange Cake whenever she comes to visit! This is a delight to me to be able to order a delicious cake like this from a restaurant! I hope you decide to keep this item for those of us who have such limited choices in our diet! Thank you for your time, and for allowing us to enjoy this tasty cake!

John Carpenter,
I wish this cake had been available in more locations. Unfortunately every time I tried to find it the many different Starbucks I tried did not carry it.

Barbie Anthony,

I didn't even get the chance to try the GF cake. I asked about it last time I was in Starbucks, and it had already come and gone. Please bring it back!

I loved that orange cupcake and especially since it was GF. It was disappointing to not be able to find it anymore at Starbucks. Last week, I went to two Starbucks in Springfield, VA, where I live and it was no longer there.

Joe Paradiso,
The stores I go to never bothered carrying it, or denied knowing anything about "gluten free" bring back food we can eat or lose our coffee business

Karen Rifkin,
For the people who need GF options, they are saying the cake is what they would buy from you. Why would you take it out as an option for them?

xxxxxxxx,
It was a great treat! Please bring it back

xxxxxxxx,
Please carry gluten free items so we can eat with other people eating at Starbucks.

Please bring them back and other Gluten Free options. I am more likely to stop by and buy a coffee with this.

Please bring the GF Valencia Orange Cake back! I love having a treat with my friends when I go to Starbucks, and it's delicious!

I was so happy when you brought in the Valencia Orange Cake, even thinking that it might be the first of other gluten-free products. What a sad surprise to find out that your company had dropped the product! Please reconsider adding this and/or other gluten-free products to your food offerings. We'd love to buy them.

xxxxxxxx,
it was so nice for my kids to have a treat at the mall...if this particular cake did not do well perhaps add a chocolate, vanilla or carrot. I really would hate to see it go!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
We all need your support, the cake is delicious and goes well with your wonderful coffee.

Please keep the cake!!!!! You have no idea what it's like to walk into a Starbucks and not be able to order anything to eat. Having the Valencia Orange Cake is such a treat!

We have been frequenting a specific Starbucks here in Topeka simply because it offers the GF option. Please do not stop carrying this option. It is one of the few places my husband and son can meet friends and have a safe snack.

xxxxxxxx,
Keep the GF cake! We have enough limitations in our life and we definitely appreciate places that have a least a little something we can enjoy.

I just found out about these a couple of weeks ago, and have purchased them twice, plus taken some home for later. They still have them in our local Starbucks. If advertised, I'm sure more people would be buying them...they are delicious!

xxxxxxxx,
we loved coming to starbucks for gluten free options!

xxxxxxxx,
If they take the cake away it's back to Tully's where they sell Gluten Free WOW cookies. We prefer Starbucks but don't like going to one place for coffee and one for food.

xxxxxxxx,
What! No Valencia Orange Cake! You can't be serious. It's awesome. Don't do it.

Sue Delaney,
Please bring it back!

Maura Landeck,
Please. My trips to Starbucks became daily, versus only when I was in the area. Your decision hurts both of us!

Elly Heller,

xxxxxxxx,
Don't take the cake away! Non GF people like to eat something sweet with their coffee too! Please don't ignore us.

Pratibha Patel,
This cake is so delicious and I had made plans for a variety of celebrations with this cake, and I'm saddened that Starbucks has taken it away. With my birthday around the corner, I wont' be able to turn this little cake into my birthday cake. I've been a starbuck's fan for years, and I would love to still have the opportunity to have some goodies with my latte. Don't take it away!

xxxxxxxx,

Jerry Van Fossen,
Hate to lose a GF treat!

Debora Nelson,

Let us eat cake!!

Bob Nelson,
My daughter is gluten free since she has had Celiac Disease since she was small. Please do this for her and others with the disease.

Sue Gross,

Diane Armitage,
PLEASE! My 16yo daughter has so few options when eating out - she was THRILLED with the orange cake!!

Sara K.,
It's not a problem for me, but I have friends who suffer from gluten allergies. Please help make life enjoyable for them.

Emilie Marchant,
Just discovered the Valencia Orange Cake and it is wonderful. I eat 1/2 at a time because I am diabetic. It is neither too sweet or too rich. Please keep the dessert on the menu.

Cammie Knudsen,
Please consider bringing back the gluten free cake or offering another option in its place.

Dr. Theresa FitzGerald,
This product gives me the opportunity to travel to any city and find something safe to eat. Celiacs are 1 in every 122 people. Please keep your product available.

it would be helpful to have rice milk as an option for dairy allergies too. :)

xxxxxxxx,
Please add more not less gluten free options - such as muffins,coffee cake, cheesecake.

Matthew Seymour,

xxxxxxxx,
Before the Valencia Orange cake, I probably went to Starbuck's once or twice monthly. When the cake became available, I was visiting two or three times weekly. Now I don't go any more. Sad.

Linda Grover,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring back the Valencia Orange cakes. They were delicious.

Melissa Claire,
Please bring back this cake. Word of mouth was really getting around about it. I think with more time and also the proper display of the items, these could be a big hit. No Starbucks I visited had these in the front and visible to customers. Could they be kept in a jar like the madelines?

Kaz Phillips,
I don't have gluten intolerance, but as someone who can't eat most anything on the market due to tummy troubles, I know what it's like to wander into a store and devastated that there was nothing available to eat (or, conversely, be thrilled to discover something I can eat!). Please bring back this item!

Diana Shewell,

Amanda Gimondo,
Please keep the gluten free cake! It is great and one of the many many reasons I choose Starbucks over every other coffee place! Thank you!

Nancy Robinson,

Arlene Lennon,

Kelly Heck,
Please bring back the Orange Cake!

Chris Cody,
PLEEEEeeeez bring back the cake!

Linda Cerrito,
I loved taking my grandchildren out to buy books and treat them to a snack, something I can't do anywhere else, as they have celiac, unless I bring something I have made myself. They don't like the bars you are substituting. I love them, the kids don't!!!! Sell both if you want.

Cyndi Quast,

People wanting more nutritious food from Starbucks were not pertaining to the GF Valencia Orange Cake. Not everyone is consumed by reducing carbohydrates.

xxxxxxxx,
Please help, it will makes us feel like the majority of people who can eat "whatever!" THANKS!

Brenda Papesh,
I travel a lot and love to have a snack and being able to go to a Starbuck's which is everywhere, would be a blessing!

Becky Slaymaker,
Please bring this back and support the gluten-free community and offer the cakes at all Starbucks locations! Gluten-free customers are very loyal and will remain with you if you help us out!

Nici Albrecht,

I thought the Orange Cake was great and it was great to know I could always go to a Starbucks to for something safe to eat.

Anne Morey,

It will be extrememly disappointing to not be able to go to Statbucks with my son and have a gluten free snack. We will have to once again go somewhere else.

Karen,
My daughter can't eat wheat and would love to have a GF option. I've never seen this at our Starbucks but would gladly buy her a GF treat if it was available. People who can eat wheat and gluten don't realize how hard and isolating it is for those that can't.

Mary Jane Hetrick,
While we appreciate the option of healthy GF bars, they do not "seem" like a treat and we loved the orange CAKE.

Kathleen France,

xxxxxxxx,
More, please. Not less.

xxxxxxxx,
support us we support you and drink you coffee!!

xxxxxxxx,
Please offer gluten free items.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
It was so enjoyable to be able to join friends for a cup of coffee and a gluten free cake while they munched on their own selections. I felt like a welcomed member of the Starbucks community. Now I have a sernse of discrimination against those who cannot eat ordinary grains. Please reconsider returning the Valencia Orange Cake to your shelves. Not only was it gluten free, it was delicious.

Phoebe Smith,

xxxxxxxx,
I didn't even get a chance taste this gluten free cake!!

xxxxxxxx,
My son doesn't feel like he's so different if he can order something to eat at Starbucks just like all of his friends do. Please bring back the gf cake!

Sarah Swanson,
Please bring it back! It was nice for myself and my kids to have a g-free option at Starbucks! Maybe a chocolate flavor would be more popular!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Please bring it back, and bring it to Canada too, we have so few options here. I don't even like to go out with friends for coffee and watch while they enjoy a delicious snack, if a sweet indulgence was available for me too, I would certainly be more willing!

xxxxxxxx,
I am thoroughly disappointed in Starbuck's action to eliminate the gluten-free cake, which is the ONLY item other than beverages I can consume of theirs.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Bring it back

stacy simmons,
i am new to the gf community and find it difficult to find places to eat out ...i haven't been to a starbucks in a while..don't give me another reason to stay away!

xxxxxxxx,
One of the few safe treats: please bring it back!

xxxxxxxx,
Please brIng back the orange cake.

Chris Hawkins,
I've avoided Starbuck's because I assumed they'd never have such a thing... now I learn they do, but are about to do away with it!

I am not a coffee drinker so this is the ONLY way to tempt me into your establishment.

My 19 & 17 year old sons had them Thursday night at the Appleton, WI store, they loved them. We need something for them when they go out with their teen and young 20 year old friends. Celiacs only want to fit in, especially my son's ages. Please keep the treat!

xxxxxxxx,

LILY KASTEN,
Would like to see even more gluten free options to enjoy with my coffee

Mo Tantawi,

karlos clark,
if you can't bring the orange cake back,
some type of gluten free banana bread or brownie would be nice and such a treat. A great name such as Starbucks should set the gold standard so other restaurants will follow your good example.

K Wagner,
Disappointed with your decision, product was not promoted at all in the two locations in my area, Poor marketing leads to poor results. A simple sign in the store or the window front. I was lead to believe the product was only being sold in the big city stores. Now that I know about the cake it is being pulled.

Laure Felch,
We were so happy to see it come and would be so very sad to see it go!!!

Betty Milburn,
I loved this cake & have told several people about it. Please can to sell it.

Tammy Levy,

Eileen,
Your decision was a poor one. When was the last time you had a hunkering for a NUT BAR to go along with your hot cup of coffee? Please! Most people, celiacs included, want pastry!

xxxxxxxx,

Steve Horan,
Please bring back the gluten free cake! I stopped going to Starbucks when they took it away.

xxxxxxxx,
I'd just heard about the cake at Starbucks and was looking forward to trying it.

Deborah McKnight,
we were sooooo looking forward to trying the gluten-free cake at Starbucks. Guess we're back to not bothering to go there until/unless the G-F cake is available!

Melanie Dunlap,
I got teary eyed when I first saw the cake at star-bucks. I immediately called my 18 year old son Tyler to tell him.We both and my husband have Celiac Disease. What a treat this has been.Please bring it back!!

Damaris Solis,
Please, please do not discontinue this gluten-free products. Continue to keep your status as a cutting-edge industry leader by keeping the Valencia Orage Cake and please develop more products like these. It's hard enough to go into a coffee shop, only to find products are for those who are able to eat wheat. Please do not discontinue!!

Tyler Dunlap,

Mary Wikle,
Please bring this cake back, I loved it! Not only was it delicious, I felt like everybody else getting to have a treat out with my coffee

xxxxxxxx,

Sonya Purling,

Misty Blonsky,

Great that you have gf. It'd be even greater if it was sweetened with agave nectar instead of sugar when you do bring it back. :)

Christie Tedaldi,
Terribly unfair to put this cake in and take it out of stores so quickly. It was one reason that I went out of my way to go to Starbucks instead of Dunkin Donuts for coffee!

Anne Royall,
The Valencia Orange Cake was delicious. It is hard to find good sweets that we can eat and are good. Please please don't take one of the few things we can eat away. I must say I was surprised at how good it was. Most wheat and gluten free things can be dry. The cake was so moist. My hope for Starbucks was to start adding more and more pastries. Please bring the Orange Cake back. Thank you

kathy hayes,
Please bring back the GF cake and add more gf options!

Sarah Ann Miller,
Thanks for keeping the gluten free cakes in your stores!

Carmen Griffith,
It is delicious! Also, I am allergic to milk and it's dairy-free. It's a wonderful treat to be able to sit down with my friends and enjoy it.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
I’m a faithful Starbuck patron. When my son was recently diagnosis with celiac disease, it became increasing difficult for me to go with him as he was always use to getting a treat when I got my coffee. Then there was a shine of hope when the Valencia Orange Cake hit the menu. He (and my wife and I) thoroughly enjoyed it. Please bring it back.

virginia pitts,
Please bring back the cake!

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
My daughter is a celiac and looks forward to the cakes. Honestly I was never a fan of starbucks but since the omtroduction of your gluten free cake we frequent the store many times a week buying additional items. Please do not discontinue- we want to continue seeing the gluten free cakes offered at all starbucks!

Katherine Nashatker, MS, RD,

Katrina,
The Valencia Orange Cake came in very handy when I, a Celiac, was in an unknown city. I knew all I had to do was find a Starbucks and I'd be able to have something quick to eat. I bought five to get me through the week. The cake was a lifesaver!

Corey Grooms,
I looked for it on at least 3 occasions this past week. I didn't find that it was available so I didn't even buy any coffee.

xxxxxxxx,

xxxxxxxx,
Why did you remove this yummy item?! Please bring it back and or add something different!!!

RUTH RAIMONDO,
i feel it is very important to bring this back!

Anne Polito,

Jennifer Polito,

Pat Rheaume,
Please bring back the gluten-free cake and expand to include a chocolate version. You will find that the celiac population is very loyal to those companies that supply their needs and desires.

Kathy Hall,
I was thrilled when Starbucks came out with your Gluten Free cake. I love it and while I do not buy it everyday ~ I do buy it and hope you will bring it back. What a wonderful option for those of us that cannot eat any of the other options offered. My husband, who does not have celiac disease also enjoys this cake. Please do not eliminate it.

Jacquie Hammer,
I have some good friends who suffer from celiac disease and it would be great if you could bring back the Valencia Orange Cake - you'd be doing them and your business a great service!!!!

Heather,

Stephanie McDonald,
I had the pleasure of buying the Orange Cake at a Starbucks in Concord, NC. My kids, who are gluten free, LOVED the cake. I was sooo happy to even see the option on the menu! It was a great surprise and a great cake.

xxxxxxxx,
it is delicious---please keep it available

Cindy L. Hylton,
I was so excited to be able to sit down with friends at Starbucks and enjoy a pastry with my coffee. Then, to my surprise, I ask for the Valencia Orange Cake and am told that "we don't carry it anymore!" Once again, I am the odd one at the table. PLEASE bring it back!

Janet Englerth,
My daughter is 11-it's hard enough to find things for her when we are out. Please don't get rid of this gluten free delight!

Sandy Walther,
Please, we have so few options!!

Susan Wilkinson,
Please keep the cake - and let people know it is available. It is never listed on the menu at my Starbucks - You can only get it if you know to ask for it!

Sue Lincoln,
Please bring the gluten-free cake back. It's good for everyone's health!

lisa zephyr,

xxxxxxxx,
I did not see any advertising about having gluten free goodies or I would have been at the only Starbucks in my area. I quit going to Starbucks because I could not eat their goodies.

Melissa Puchalla,
I finally got to try this last week and loved it!! I am more likely to stop at Starbucks knowing there is a glutne free option for me!! I have shared this with many friends and family. I will be very disappointed to lose this yummy treat. Like I lost the yummy flourless chocolate cake you used to sell::( Please don't let me down again add more gluten free options don't take them away!!

Sheila Limmroth,
Please consider your customer!

Debbie Weber,

Lanette Miller,
I am a newly diagnosed celiac. This was a treat I was looking forward to eating. So many compaines are joining the gluten free band wagon. Why are you getting off?

Elizabeth Farrell,
As excited as I was that there would be a GF option at Starbuck's pastries, I was even more upset that it is no longer available. With more and more people being diagnosed with gluten issues, this was a great niche for you to fill. My business will be returning to Caribou!

Carol Mitchell,
This cake is delicious! Please don't let us down!

Carol Ullner,
We need more gluten free options for those with gluten intolerences. You realize 1 in 133 Americans have Celiac Disease, and there is a Autsm community,allergies and many people with auto immune diseases thrilled to have gluten free options available.

Carla Massarini,
Bring back the cake!

Cheryl Sauter,
It is so nice to finally find someplace that I can get a delicious snack with my Chai tea.

I wish the US would understand what many European countries already do: Celiac sprue, "the silent epidemic" is extremely prevalent and should be considered by all food establishments in the choice of menu items available.

Mary Burt,
I spoke w/the corporate office when ths cake came out, praising them for the delicious cake; I praised any store I visited that carried the product (I'm a daily customer), and I lamented w/corporate when I found out they were discontinuing the produce. BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!!!!

As soon as I found out about this gluten free cake, it was discontinued!! I have never ordered any of your baked goods before because I thought they all had gluten, but when I found out you had this cake, I immediately went to my nearest store, only to find out it had been discontinued. What a sad day for us celiacs!!!

xxxxxxxx,
It is free money = high value to GFs and low overhead (advertising) to you!

xxxxxxxx,
My daughter has celiac and enjoys starbuck coffee and was very disappointed to see they did away with the gluten free cake. Please bring it back for those whose choices are so limited.

xxxxxxxx,
It will only benefit Starbuck's sales by keeping this delicious muffin. I wouldn't otherwise go into a Starbuck's.

Robin Kempf,
This cake is delicious and good for all!

Tiffany Bader,
Bring the cake BACK!

xxxxxxxx,

Donna Williams,
You almost gained me as a patron when your company recently offered a coupon that gave a person a free coffee cake when purchasing a coffee and I was disappointed to find there was no Valencia Orange Cake to be had. Now to find that I might not ever have the opportunity to never taste a much raved-about cake (at least within the gluten free society members) saddens me.

Tina Kirch,
We were so excited about your gluten free cake, my husband and 9 year old daughter, Madison, were finally able to enjoy a dessert while we were out. It is usually so hard to find treats for my daughter while on the road. Sorry to see it going so quickly, hope you will reconsider.

xxxxxxxx,
Gluten free products are so hard to find in restaurants. Therefore, we were so pleased when you started offering a gluten free option for gluten sensitive people and Celiacs. I hope you reconsider taking the G/F cakes off your menu.

xxxxxxxx,

Peter O\'Riordan,

Megan Wintory,

Alexandra Giambruno,

Please reconsider - Celiac's need cake too! The orange cake was the only reason I started going back to Starbucks after being diagnosed....if there's no orange cake I can make coffee at home!

sylvia mireles,
we would really appreciate it.. and this will only increase your marketability!!

xxxxxxxx,
I ejoyed the gluten free cake on 2 occasions in the past month. I would like to see it return, or at least please provide an alternate Gluten Free alternative.

William Zmek,
I've made a point to stop at Starbucks once I heard about the Valencia cake. Being celiac, it made my day to have such an excellent safe treat available. Sorry to hear you are planning on cutting it.

Anne L Hauck,
Please add gluten free products...don't take away!

xxxxxxxx,
Thank you for any changes you can make to help us with our gluten free diets!

Deborah Sneed,
You were bringing people into your store who normally did not come to Starbucks and I do not feel you allowed enough time and advertisement for people to find out about. There are many of us who would buy them by the dozen and keep them frozen to extend their shelf life.

xxxxxxxx,
it was so refreshing to be able to visit starbucks and order a gluten free item. please return it promptly to your menu.

Anana Hicks,
Please bring back the gluten-free Valencia Orange Cake. We forgot to say Please.

Perhaps if it was not pre-packaged it would sell better.. put it in the case with the rest of the foods!!

I only just heard about Starbucks carrying GF cake & my local Starbucks already discontinued it. Bring it back & I will purchase it!

Monica Bonynge,

LaVonne Young,
I really enjoyed your Valencia cake. If your going to re-vamp it, please add additional orange zest. It's the only thing I'd do differently. Or, please try something else on your menu. Thank you.

Natasha Martinez,
I patronize coffee shops that offer gluten free products. Please bring the cake back!

John Derderian,
Please keep this gluten free alternative available. It's one of the reasons I frequent Starbucks !! Thanks for your consideration of the Celiac population.

Elizabeth Drew,
It's such a treat to be able to order a snack with my coffee, and the Valencia Orange Cake was an incredibly tasty and satisfying snack. It made me go to Starbucks rather than other coffee shops, and I couldn't pass up getting a cake if it was available. If it stays away, so will I.

Becky Boren,
it is wonderful to have something to eat when out with friends. Just because it isn't nutritious doesn't mean it has no value. it's not something I would eat every day, but you have no idea how hard it is to be out with friends, and they all munch on something, and I sit there and say "no thank you, I cannot..."

Killian Murphy,
Having the cake led to increased business on your part, as I specifically went to Starbucks due to the availability of the gluten free cake - something rarely offered in other coffee shops.

Kathy Harmon,
I was in a Starbucks the other day and was asking for this product, but was told it was currently out of stock. Please don't take it away, I didn't get a chance to taste it yet. I don't desserts very often because I can't find many.

Jenny Williams,

I think in addition to this one item, it would be great to have a few gluten-free choices. Please consider keeping this one and increasing your choices. I'm sure many celiacs would buy them.

Tracy Welsh,
I was so excited when you introduced the cake. Then, last week they offered a free pastry if you buy a drink (July 21) and had no GF Cakes!

Ann L. Boyett,
It was great, delicious cake. A real treat!
