Hands down the most delicious GF loaf I have ever had! I am a sugar and gluten fanatic but had to cut for a mold detox, this was the perfect treat and I continue to buy it weekly at the farmers market!

Bought a half loaf of Zion Zucchini Bread for $15.00 at the Old Poway Village Park street market.
Didn’t taste like Zucchini at all. A lot of sweet ingredients, but NO ZUCCHINI. Some parts of loaf was dry, others moist. Bland. Meh. Maybe this is what Zion Zucchini bread tastes like.
I’ve been to Zion. If I could taste the terrain, I’m sure it would taste the same. Eh, maybe the bread’s sweeter.
I mean, if your going to market a food something, make sure IT has that ingredient in it at least.
My mom makes zucchini bread. And I can tell you, it really does taste like zucchini.
Why you ask? Because it actually has zucchini’s in it!!! Imagine that.

The bars and banana bread are really good.

Dietary restrictions: It is fully gluten free but is outrageously overpriced. $30 for a small loaf of bread is absolutely criminal, especially with mediocre flavor, and the texture is abhorrent. I was given a sample of buckwheat sandwich bread and was immediately transported to prison lunch in Guantanamo Bay, only you will pray for the waterboarding, because that's the only way to wash it down. The second it hits your mouth your saliva will activate the secret glue molecules and you'll wonder what you did to God to deserve such punishment. The flavor is reminiscent of bitter saw dust and mold. Save yourself $25 and bake a loaf yourself or go to Trader Joe's and pick one up for $3.99 or whatever they cost these days and thank me later

I should start with how delicious their breads are, particularly the banana bread loaf, very tasty! However, the 2 star rating is because of their criminal profit margin. $30 for a LOAF OF BREAD! Now, I have thoroughly analyzed each and every ingredient, I happen to buy allof them regularly. I happily did an experiment and made this same exact loaf of banana bread, same exact ingredients and same size, guess how much it costs to make at home? $5-7 per loaf (depending on region and buying in bulk discounts etc.) Any bakery would buy their ingredients in bulk therefore it should only cost about $5 per FULL loaf to make, using top of the line flours for the perfect consistency, and organic pasture raised eggs, straight from the farm. Mine came out to taste exactly the same!! It is pure greed and just flat out criminal to charge $30 for a loaf of bread. If you’re rich and money is no object, find them at your local farmers market and try it out. But if you’re like 90% of the population and principle plays a factor here, like myself, then you should probably make this at home yourself for $5!!! Overhead and miscellaneous costs is one thing when running a business, but taking advantage of people and ripping people off is another. Their half loaf should be around $7-8 and their full loaf should be $14-16 and even that is still about a 75% profit margin!!! That’s still insane but at least somewhat justifiable for the convenience factor. My advice overall, make your own and add a pinch of organic cinnamon :)

The breads and bars are both are among the best I've ever tasted - especially considering the ingredients are much healthier/ cleaner than most other similar products. The zucchini chocolate chip bread is amazing.
