EAT: Lunch at 2Good2B, San Diego, CA

Ok, so after I raved about 2Good2B Bakery in my last blog post, I found myself with a day off and in downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp District. It was lunch time and I was right down the street from 2Good2B's San Diego location that just opened. What a great chance to check out something besides their sweets (ok, ok, I had dessert too!). The San Diego location is a gluten free, corn free, and soy free bakery just like the Encinitas location. 

I tried the Roasted Turkey Panini. Yum! It came with a huge side salad. I got the panini without the Ceasar spread and it was great without it. The bread was soft with a nice crunch from the grilling, not crumbly like a lot of gluten free breads. I added a Mexican Coke, made with sugar, not corn syrup. It was my first Coke in three years! 

Back to what 2Good2B does best, desserts! I tasted a slice of their carrot cake. Wow, so good and moist. Their San Diego location has a good variety of cupcake choices, but not as many as the Encinitas location. They also make wedding cakes and had a sample on display. 

I really liked the vibe of the 2Good2B San Diego location. Sleek and modern with fun colors and a nice outdoor seating area, it is a great addition to the Gaslamp District. Check it out if you are in the area!

EAT: 2Good2B Bakery, Encinitas, CA

Are you in the San Diego area and need a yummy, allergen free treat? Head over to 2Good2B Bakery and Cafe in Encinitas. 2Good2B is a gluten free and corn free (including corn syrup free) bakery. They can also do egg free and dairy free on request and offer several cupcakes that are egg and dairy free. The staff was super friendly (especially Luis) and very knowledgable about their products. 

2Good2B makes a variety of cupcakes, muffins, brownies, breads, and bars, as well as chicken pot pies, Mac and cheese, sandwiches, and pizzas. They also make wedding cakes to local customers. I stuck to the sweet treats during my two trips and everything I tried was delicious! Do you know how many years it has been since I have had red velvet cake?? Years! And, 2Good2B did not disappoint. My favorites were the red velvet cupcake (of course!), the chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting, and the lemon bar. 

With limited hours of operation (Tuesday - Saturday 7am-6pm, Sunday 8am-2pm), 2Good2B offers take home meals of pizza, chicken pot pies, soups, salads, and Mac and cheese, which looked great. I wish they were open for dinner, as both my trips were right before closing time and I would have loved to eat dinner there. 

It is great to be able to walk into a cafe and bakery and not worry about wheat gluten and corn!
