Bye Bye Sugar Bakery — Restaurant in Lake Forest

These days very few places where food, or bakery items are sold, care one bit for that segment who shies away from real sugar. Be it for health reasons, change of diet, it is hard to find a good bakery specializing in making sugar free, sugarless, even no sugar added items. When, and if, a business like this bakery appears on the map, the quality of the products seem to miss the margins, more often than not, the selections are not that great, to say the least. It seems that low carb, sugar free creations, require lots of skills if truly they will adhere to their promise. I found Bye Bye Sugar Bakery while searching faithful Yelp, which I happen to like a lot, but the story this time went like this: Arrived at approximately 12 PM. First impression was that it did not emanated the basic smells of a bakery. Second impression that it was empty prior to arriving, and during my visit as well. Third impression the second baker had zero charm, which in such a lonely bakery, can not be a good thing. I bought a bag with oatmeal cookies and a banana nut bread, to the tune of $12.50+.

Yes, no real sugar detracts considerably from the ideal sweet, and this bye bye I am not returning, was lacking the wow factor. Prices higher than See’s, but quality much lower. Nice try,...

I have been on keto/low carb diet for about 3 years, but every once a while, I still crave that chocolate cake. Just finding low carb desserts in general have been really frustrating for me, I pretty much just give up trying. That's why I am pleasantly surprised there's this hidden bakery that doesn't use sugar! The baker told me they use xylitol and wheat flour for their goods so the carbs there are minimal. The only down side is the price is on the pricier side but that's expected. They also give out cash discounts so I definitely come back with that and try more of their...

Low carb, sugar-free, and tasty pastries?..yes, it is possible at this bakery! Everything we purchased were delicious and inspiring..worth every penny. We tried the blueberry turnover as I was craving a flaky pastry with fruit filling, tiramisu, fudge brownie, and chocolate eclair. I wouldn’t have suspected these were sugar-free if I hadn’t already known about the thoughtful mission of this bakery. My discerning sweet-tooth hubby even enjoyed these treats and questioned whether they were really sugar-free lol..that’s how good they were! A visit to this bakery is a...
