I finally got to try New York City's new gluten-free bakery, which is now called Tu-lu's Gluten Free Bakery (was Tully's, they had to change their name because of a copyright infringment issue), twice, in fact.
The space is as adorable as the owl cupcake tree art would predict. It's cozy, with a few seats where you can eat. They serve paninis, cupcakes, brownies, muffins, cookies and cakes. Click here to see more photos from my Flickr set. You can also follow them @tulusbakery on Twitter and on Facebook.
Cupcakes come in five flavors: red velvet, vanilla/strawberry, peanut butter frosting/chocolate cake, chocolate frosting/vanilla cake and...I forget the last one. They also have mini cupcakes, but go early for those. They're $1.25 and totally adorable - I really liked the peanut butter/chocolate, closely followed by the chocolate frosting on vanilla cake. The peanut butter frosting wasn't too sweet, and it was in perfect proportion on the mini cupcakes. Whether you're gluten-free or not, if you like peanut butter and chocolate, you'll want to check that out. The red velvet was decent, it's not really my thing so I can't properly review it, though I was told that's their bestselling cupcake. Next time I'll snap a photo of the mini cupcakes because they were adorable. The vanilla/strawberry was pretty good, but not as strong of a flavor as the chocolate frosting which has a chocolate pudding consistency/taste. Personally, I like their cake better than Babycakes' cake'; it tasted more like what I (who can eat gluten) think of as "cake." It was still fairly thick and a little crumbly, but good. Regular size cupcakes are $2.95 each.
I also like that they're open until 10 pm during the week; this is a neighborhood (East Village) I'm often wandering around looking for a sweet snack. I also like that after my pedicure nearby, I could eat both dinner (a panini) and dessert in one spot. The man working the counter (sorry, forgot to get his name) was very nice and they seemed to be doing some last-minute business (this was around 9:15-9:30 on Tuesday night).
I'd love to hear what those who are gluten-free think of these cupcakes (you can comment or write to us at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com). You can get some other opinions (all positive so far) on Yelp.
