Eden B. Bakery Review

EDIT- We are very sad to say, but Eden B. Bakery had to close its doors in October 2013. We have high hopes for the owner, Brooke, to continue helping out the gluten intolerant community in some way or another, so we can update this post again with some good news!

UPDATE- The menu has changed, and changed again since this revisit! Their seasonal rotation provides a wonderful opportunity for us gluten-free lunch-seekers to enjoy sandwiches and sweet treats that really match the mood of the weather outside, and leave us with a better, brighter mood.

Jason here. We've had the best luck discovering a bakery that just opened up on 116th Ave called Eden B. Bakery. The entire bakery is gluten free, so absolutely no worries about cross contamination and mislabeled meals. We have gone twice now and enjoyed a variety of their offerings.

Their first time I tried the delicious oven roasted turkey. Now I know what you thinking, “Oh that sounds so plain and boring”, but you would be wrong. First of all the bread was awesome. It was toasted in a Panini press. Second, the sundried tomato pesto, and balsamic added so much flavor to the sandwich.

We also got some delicious cupcakes with our meal. It’s really hard to describe one good cupcake vs another, but I can at least say they stock a variety of dessert items, so you will find something no matter what your dessert tastes are. The second time we ate there I got a philly cheese steak sandwich, which was their daily special.  I’m from the Philadelphia area so I know a good cheesesteak when I taste it.

Kayleigh here. I've got to agree, I don't think they have anything bad on their menu. I've gotten both the grilled and fresh veggie sandwiches, and just love the amount of flavor they packed into each bite. It's not just a pile of sprouts on the bread- they boost it with a mean marinade! And the bread itself is better than I've had in regular bakeries. Particularly the rosemary honey bread- give it a try!

On top of the lovely food, you're not going to find friendlier people than Brooke and Kendall. Even though we've only made it there for lunch a couple of times, they remembered Jason and I, and treated us like a couple of regulars- now that's customer service! And the owner, Brooke, is more than willing to answer any questions about the menu, or give a suggestion if you're stuck on deciding. And believe me- you may have a problem choosing between all the delectable options.

So, if you find yourself around downtown Bellevue, stop by the Chrysler, Jeep, an Dodge dealership. No, seriously, Eden B. Bakery is nestled just inside the front doors of the dealer. In addition to their regular sandwich and salad menu, they carry an amazing variety of cupcakes, cookies, muffins, and various tarts and other baked goodies, as well as a daily special consisting of an unusual soup or creative new sandwich. Check out their facebook page every morning to see their specials, or just drop by and surprise yourself- no matter what, it'll be a flavor-packed experience!

UPDATE- Since this post, their menu has changed to better fit the season. Click here to see our brief update review!
