During one of our many recent trips down to the Southern end of the state we stopped in with Berke's dad at this completely gluten free bakery and bistro for brunch. I, obviously, ordered the BnG, Berke had a Breakfast Quesadilla and his dad ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. All were items that would normally be filled to the hilt with that pesky little protein.
Not only did the Gourmet Girls deliver a menu filled with gluten free versions of favorites, they hit them out of the park. My biscuits were fluffy, soft without crumbling and smothered in a rich and creamy sausage gravy. The house made tortilla was the structure for Berke's quesadilla that was packed full. It tasted, felt and held up just like a normal giant flour tortilla would, if not better.
Gourmet Girls serves breakfast and lunch Tuesdays through Sundays. As a result, you can order anything you want. Kurt took advantage of this and ordered the Philly Cheesesteak special. Another winner! In fact, it was better than any other cheesesteak I have had previously.
As we were getting ready to pay, we took a peek at the bakery case. A 6-inch peanut butter chocolate cake was begging to be brought home. Why yes, we did split that cake into 3 wedges and ate it in one night. Although the photo doesn't do it justice (didn't want to go get my camera and just used my phone) it was a two layer wedge of deliciousness!
Now that I gotten myself drooling, and hopefully you too, I urge you to head over to Gourmet Girls Bakery and Bistro located at 5845 N Oracle Rd. the next time you are in Tucson. It doesn't matter if you are gluten free or not, because the food they are serving up is that good!
