I was so excited to see French Meadow Bakery at the Minnesota State Fair. I recently discovered French Meadow in St Paul. So awesome to be part of the Minnesota State Fair.

Great gluten-free options amidst a fairgrounds full of not gluten-friendly stands. The food was amazing (especially the "sconuts")! The one downside I would have to mention is that they did accidentally make my gluten-free sandwich on regular wheat bread and I'm the one who caught the mistake. Cooking also took awhile, but it was worth the wait.

This is my first stop every year at the State Fair. The Black Currant Tea is the best! Next to the Scones! This year they offer a SconeNut which is a cross between a scone and a donut! BUT Wait! There's More! The best thing was the service that I received from Eden and CJ! These two youngsters knocked it out of the park. To see people wanting to work long hours and deliver with true smiles and authenticity made my first stop extra special! THANKS, kids, for what you do. "I'll Be Back". (Say it like Arnold) 8-)
