As some of you may recall, Linda’s Diet Delites was having difficulty getting our hands on our latest batch of Goldenstar Bakery cookies, brownies, and more<\/a> for almost 2 weeks near the end of November and beginning of December.<\/p>\n

After waiting and waiting, Linda was finally able to get Gabriel at Goldenstar Bakery<\/a> to spill the beans in regards to the issue. It turned out that UPS and Goldenstar<\/a> were in a little tiff about shipping and that is why we weren’t able to get the product.<\/p>\n

So, I called Goldenstar Bakery<\/a> and asked Gabriel if I could just come and get them myself because I knew all of you just couldn’t live without your brownies and cookies. He of course said yes and thus began “A Goldenstar Bakery<\/a> Adventure.”<\/p>\n

Prior to visiting a week ago, I had never been to Goldenstar Bakery<\/a>. After a quick discussion with Gabriel, I plotted their address in Google Maps and planned a trip all the way out to Queens, NY.<\/p>\n

Once in Queens, I was immediately lost. In order to find the bakery I was forced to call on a friend to provide turn by turn directions to keep me in the right direction. Even once I was right in front of the bakery I still couldn’t find it! “It isn’t here!” I exclaimed to my friend.<\/p>\n

But, it was. They just had a different sign on the front – the existing sign was for some sort of cafe (mind you they only recently moved to this new location.)<\/p>\n

Once inside, I couldn’t seem to locate any “Goldenstar<\/a>” related items other than a basket of cookies on the counter. I asked the gentleman behind the counter if he knew where Goldenstar Bakery<\/a> was and he chuckled at me before saying the owner was the man on the other side of the store.<\/p>\n

When I walked over to the owner, and introduced myself, he greeted me warmly and let me know my products were waiting for me.<\/p>\n

“Before I go, what else do you have here?” I asked figuring I might as well check out their entire inventory to see if I could find any new goodies.<\/p>\n

“Well, follow me.” he replied.<\/p>\n

I followed him through a large bake room full of ovens, and into the basement where more ovens, racks, packaging machines, and boxes of cookies and brownies were stacked waiting to be shipped.<\/p>\n

“Take a look around.” he offered and so I did.<\/p>\n

Upon inspection, I happened across a number of interesting new items. But the one I settled on was the Goldenstar Bakery Biscottini<\/a>. These delicious and light Biscotti cookies were higher in fiber than Goldenstar’s traditional Biscotti and the serving sizes were larger.<\/p>\n

“I bet these will be a hit.” I said and he told me all about how he used to sell a ton of them to the now defunct Diet Centers across the U.S.<\/p>\n

Once I was outfitted with a couple cases of the new Goldenstar Bakery Biscottini<\/a>, the ever popular Goldenstar Bakery cookies<\/a> and Goldenstar brownies<\/a> I was all set to go – straight to our retail location to fulfill some orders that had been pending while we waited for the cookies to arrive.<\/p>\n

I was so excited about the new Goldenstar Bakery Biscottini<\/a> that I even added the Goldenstar Bakery Rainbows<\/a> to the website. Although we have carried these with much success in our retail location, they have only recently made their debut online.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
