Sweet Reba Bakery Is It Worth a Visit?

I was told there was a new bakery (new to me) in the Crossroads shopping center down here in Carmel, Sweet Reba. They gave it rave reviews but they are very positive people and love everything so I was skeptical. :)  

I stopped by to check it out as soon as I got into town.  They had three gluten free items which I picked up to review. In my world if you can bake something GF well, you know what you're doing. I then ask for them to pick something, knowing it was going to be reviewed. Being that they mostly have cookies, I was surprised they picked a slice of chocolate cake. Their prices are fair for being in Carmel and a tourist town.  It's a very friendly shop and worth a stop if you just want a little something sweet that doesn't break the bank. 

Peanut Butter Cookie - $3.50 It was good but with only a few ingredients I would expect to be good.

Lemon Bar - $3.50 Sorry I had it upside down in the photo, it was much prettier in person. It was the best of the bunch. Chewy and lemony.  Had a nice powder sugar icing. 

Carrot/Spice? Coffee Cake Muffin with a Cream Cheese filling. - $3.50. This one was interesting and different from the normal GF offerings. It was good but not to my taste.  Happy I tried it but I won't get it again. 

So to the Chocolate Cake  Slice - $5.00 (?) The cake part was good but the frosting and filling was just a little bit off. This wouldn't have been what I would have picked to be reviewed. The frosting also had chucks of something (maybe cream cheese?) that wasn't blended well or that's their style.  You can sort of see in the picture.  And yes my stomach said it was a really bad idea to sample the cake. I can normally tolerate one slice of cake but this one sent me over the edge. It's not the bakery's fault as I knew I was taking a risk.
