Review: Hold the Wheat is a gluten-free treat in St. Louis Park

I recently stopped by Hold the Wheat, a new gluten-free bakery that opened in St. Louis Park last month.

• The menu changes daily and includes sweet treats and savory options, like vegan cookies and sausage-filled "snuggle pies."

What I ate: I tried a "flight" of chocolate, vanilla and lemon Little Spencer cakes ($3.50 each), the bakery's take on Little Debbie snack cakes.

Thought bubble: First, a disclaimer: I don't follow a gluten-free diet. But I'd still rate this place a four out of five. The cakes were very moist, with just the right amount of frosting.

• The chocolate was easily my favorite, but the lemon brought down my rating.

Tip: Go early if you want the full selection. I visited on Friday at 12:30pm and nearly everything was sold out.

Visit: 4050 Brookside Ave, St. Louis Park. Look for the orange valances.
