Tipping Ciw is phenomenal!  This is awesome. 

We have not made the drive yet to Tipping Cow, but based on not being able to find A La Mode near us anymore maybe we will.

My Free Wok on FB posted this...coming soon, a nut free bakery/cafe to include nut free ice cream

Went back today...DS had the burger from the specials and I had a breakfast burrito...delicious again.  Brought home more donuts to taste!  Good thing we don't live any closer.

That's great, Hezz!  So glad to hear it. 

Half Baked is worth the drive.  It's a cute, tiny place with maybe seats for 16.  I had a turkey, bacon ranch wrap that was good.  DS got the pulled pork tacos which he thought were delicious.  We brought home 2 giant monkey buns (think monkey bread in a XL muffin cup) and an assortment of donuts...salted toffee, coffee cookie crumble, and blueberry pancake.  We took a couple to my sister's house so we tried the salted toffee and blueberry pancake (this one was my favorite).  I bought their homemade granola which is delicious.  We are planning to go back tomorrow.  DS is hoping they have their roast beef sandwiches on special tomorrow.

DS declared the monkey bun the best pastry he's ever had!

Looking forward to your review.

Well, DS gives Half Baked two thumbs up. If he had more thumbs, he'd give them those as well. He raved about their quality and variety.

He really loved the novel doughnut flavors. Now I have to say I'd probably find them way too sweet, but he and his GF enjoyed themselves. 

We are going to be close enough to try it this weekend without making a specific trip...yeah!  Will report back.

Ziggy's Donuts in Salem, MA  and Peabody, MA...have not checked it out personally

Finally made the trek to Ziggy's Donuts in Peabody...they were delicious!  All the pastries/donuts/cakes are made from scratch, bakery is peanut and tree nut free.  That being said it did look like they either had hazelnut coffee or a hazelnut creamer.  So if ever near the North Shore Mall in Peabody, it's only about 2 miles from there.

DS said he's going to Half Baked in Beverly tomorrow. I'll pass his review along afterwards.

Let me preface this with I have not been to nor looked into this restaurant other than looking at the menu on line.  It's located in Newton, MA.

The chef/owner has a son with peanut and tree nut allergies.  I did see walnuts and pistachio nut oil on the current menu.

Twist Cafe is opening a second location in Burlington, MA in late summer.  Haven't tried it yet since the one time we were in the area, they were closed...this is soooo much closer.

The Union Oyster House is good for peanut allergies. The chef has that allergy.
