Drove from Miami up to Savannah for the weekend and stopped into Chef Charlotte's Confections for pastries on Saturday morning. I had seen on her website that she had some gluten-free items, but when my wife (who has Celiac Disease) saw the variety of items on display, she was flabbergasted. We ended up purchasing about $40 dollars worth of items to take back with us, and now that some time has passed and my wife has had an opportunity to sample several of them, she can't wait for us to return to Savannah. She pronounced the confections the best that she's ever tasted. They were so good, in fact, that she said it was hard to believe that they didn't have flour in them. In addition to the pastries (see photos below), my wife also purchased a gluten-free chicken pot pie that my wife also said was delicious.
Chef Charlotte's is hidden away in the back of Mercer Plaza, so you really have to know it is there and seek it out. And boy, will you be happy that you did! read more
