In response to consumer requests, Starbucks will be introducing a Open Original Shared Link at its U.S. stores on May 5. The cakes will be individually wrapped to prevent cross contamination.

is it uncommon for your cafes & coffee shops to have gluten-free options? here in australia virtually every cafe or coffee shop you go into (particularly chains) will have 1 option such as a cookie or cake. it's rare to have more than 1-2 though. one chain only does "low gluten" in some of it's stores though :rolleyes:

Hi

It's unheard of here in USA to have a cafe/coffee shop offer a gluten free bakery item. If it happens it's rare. My thinking is that the shops are afraid that they will not be able to sell the gluten-free items and they will be stuck throwing them away.

I am beyond excited about this because of what it means for us as a community.

I'm a little upset at the comments on the blog, though. I think the fact that Starbucks made an individually-wrapped, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free dessert is pretty impressive. I understand that because it contains almonds and eggs, those with allergies to either will not be able to eat it. That's unfortunate. However, since many of us have other food allergies, it would be darn near impossible for Starbucks to provide a treat that was safe for everyone. The fact that they got the most common secondary allergies covered was a big accomplishment.

(says the girl that can't eat 99.9% of packaged gluten-free products, so I do know how it feels to be left out)

Elizabeth, I agree with you completely! We even had a thread here recently where we tried to come up with a food that was safe for all of us and we couldn't come up with anything except water!

Most packaged gluten-free products, I can't do either since a lot of them have things like tapioca or soy. I held my breath when I read the ingredients of this new cake, and was so excited that I would be able to try it.

I realize that not everyone can do this one due to other allergies/intolerances, but it's still a great step forward for Celiacs. I'm always equally excited even when it works out that I can't have whatever is being offered due to my other sensitivities.

Patti, I'm so glad you'll be able to eat it!

I hope that the comments on the blog weren't discouraging to Starbucks. Some of them seemed a little off-putting from Starbucks' point of view.

It sounds a lot like the orange cake starbucks have had in the UK for a while (at least as long as I've been gluten-free which is about 2 years), I think here it is something like summer orange cake & it is nice & moist & very much a treat item! They've also started doing a belgian chocolate brownie which is gluten-free, WF and Dairy free (sorry I don't know about other allergens) & is so nice the first time I was asking 'are you sure, this is definitely gluten-free??!, maybe you'll get that next!! we live in hope eh?

I am so excited!!! Thank you Starbucks!!!

On a recent trip to London, in the airport, we found a gluten free cake at the coffee shop! That was so good! It was individually wrapped, VERY moist, and tasty! Good to know we will be able to find something in an American Coffee Shop!!!

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
