After coming home from France and Spain recently, I sadly settled back into the reality that gluten-free specialty items such as bread, pastries, etc. are all MUCH better in other countries (including Canada!) than here at home. I'm not sure why that is...but store bought and bakery stuff is just not anywhere near as good here as in several countries we've visited in the 12 years since my celiac dx.
Please don't misunderstand - the new hip eatery in downtown Alpharetta, Citizen Soul, doesn't currently offer gluten-free bread. But...they offer something even more exciting - gluten-free fried chicken! It's amazing...flavorful and tender! The sides with it (currently grits and green beans) are also wonderful! We shared the stonefruit salad which was so fresh and flavorful we thought we might be back in Barcelona ;) The chocolate cake is huge and scrumptious...enough for 2 or three to share...for reals...lol!
Service was lovely and not rushed even though the place is usually packed. Parking is easy in the close by free parking deck. Great cocktails as well....Citizen Soul is a wonderful addition to downtown eateries. In fact, as of now, it's THE best place down there for my money!
