Soft, chewy and very delicious cookies with a good balance of protein, fiber and surprisingly low carbohydrates (sugar) because she use coconut nectar to sweeten these yummy cookies. They're worth every penny (about $40 a dozen).

Natalia's "It's a Meal" cookies are fantastic. This is the first gluten free, paleo cookie I have tasted that is both moist, delicious, filling and full of healthy ingredients! I actually have to look away when I pass by them at Aroma Cafe in San Rafael in order not to buy several at a time! I have tried eating just half and saving the other half for later, but it is virtually impossible!Don't be put off by the $4 price tag - they are well worth it!

I love Natalia's "it's a meal" cookies and I am not on a gluten free /vegan diet nor do I need to be nor do I generally like most gluten free foods/products. But thus is so good, so delicate and perfect that I just ordered a box full of them!

A few months ago, I was looking for food to take on an expedition to Mount McKinley. My husband and I needed something to eat during the day while climbing and I wanted to find a healthy alternative to the traditional fare of snickers and power bars.On my wish list were whole, unprocessed foods, dense nutrition, organic ingredients, gluten free, dairy free, as little sweetener as possible and absolutely no junk. Oh, and I was hoping for something that tastes good, too. My quest was over when I found Barr Necessities' "It's A Meal Cookies" and "Turkish Delight Bars." On top of fulfilling all of my nutritional wishes, they are amazing. Divine. Simple as that.Natalia, the owner of Barr Necessities, took a special order on very short notice and even delivered the 30 days worth of adventure-food to a location near my home.Thank you so much, Natalia, for fueling our expedition with healthy food and for giving us something to eat that we were crazy excited about every single day.

WAIT.. WHAT?!How am I the first person to write a review about Barr Necessities?!?!Wow... I am quite Honored...!Well, Natalia made our wedding cake a few weeks ago! It was gluten free (THANK GODESS!!!) Coconut Cake, Extremely Moist, fluffy, with the most delicious frosting pretty much ever (Ok, EVER) - Coconut + Cream cheese and cashew frosting.... Even tho I only had a little taste at the wedding (most of it was - of course, shoved in my face and not my mouth, but that's besides the point...) ;) it was delicious. Everyone was raving about it.If you are Gluten Free (or trying to cut back on Gluten in your diet), there is no other way to go.Her attention to detail is unmatched. She is local, organic and just damn AWESOME.You can find Barr Necessities at Sans Market in Marin... I hope to see them in many more stores in the Bay Area soon! Can we get some buyers up in the place??YEA!!!!

I have been a fan favorite for almost 4 years now. I love the complexity and balance in the flavor options (lemon lavender and ginger molasses are my faves!)Shipping is always faster than expected. My favorite thing and why I will continue to be a supporter is that this is a woman owned company by a revolutionary that has a deep passion for food preservation and health. Love to be able to support brands and products that align with my values!Cheers to many more tasty boxes of goodness!

Our wedding occurred 2 days ago. We asked Natalia to make a 3 tiered gluten free vanilla lemon lavender cake as our main cake and a chocolate Andes mint cake for the groom's cake. We had approximately 106 guests at our wedding. Natalia is very professional and accommodating to our unusual cake requests. These cakes were for a Victorian Gothic themed wedding. After the wedding several guests told me both cakes were delicious. One guest told me it was the best cake she ever tasted. I totally agree with her. Not only did these cakes surpass our expectations on taste, but, also were decorated beautifully. We had gone to 3 cake tastings before meeting with Natalia. We had even gone to the most highly rated San Francisco cake makers on Yelp. They did not even come close to how delicious these cakes were. I am so happy we chose Barr Necessities. Thanks Natalia!
