Gluten free, sugar free, and vegan! This Mexican bakery is a big hit for those who can't or don't want to eat gluten. They make everything from potato flour and use stevia instead of sugar. Order the Negrito, donut, or empanadas and coffee! And don't forget to ask them to heat it up first-- most products are better hot.
