Dear Starbucks,

I am writing to request that you bring back the gluten-free Valencia Orange Cake.  It’s so hard to find good, safe gluten-free options. Having a gluten-free treat at Starbucks was an enormous win for me personally, and the community at large. Starbucks is known for its community involvement, and having the gluten-free Valencia Orange Cake really hammered that home for the gluten-free community.  It’s sad to see the cake disappear such a short time later, without any real explanation.

We thank you for your kind consideration.

We’ve put this petition together to convince Starbucks to bring the Valencia Orange Cake back. We’re going to collect 5,000 signatures and present the petition to Starbucks.

Please bring back the orange cake that was gluten free. Also, I was wanting the new gluten free cookies and I tried to get them at the Starbucks in the Phoneix Intl Airport Terminal 3 last week (2-7-10) and our local Target and neither Starbucks carried the gluten free item. I would really like the see something GF in the airport, as we travel frequently, and it would be nice for me and my daughter to be able to purchase a gluten free snack at the airport.
Thank You,
Darissa

What a treat it would be to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea and a pastry at a Starbucks, like “normal” people do all the time, without a thought. For those of us who rarely enjoy such a treat due to celiac disease, please bring back the gluten-free orange cake (or anything else).
Most of you have no idea what it’s like finding something gluten-free to eat, outside of your own home. I’m happy if I have more than 3 menu choices at a restaurant. And that’s only a restaurant that has been carefully researched and offers a gluten-free menu.

Thanks,

Please bring back the Valencia orange gluten-free cakes. It is so awesome to sit and have a coffee and pastry or something sweet like normal people. If you have to eat gluten free its hard to find treats as good as this one.
