Located at 1263 Creekshire Way in Winston-Salem, To Your Health Bakery specializes in gluten-free baked goods. Vegan and keto options are also available as are coffee drinks and online ordering. The bakery is open from 11-6 Monday-Friday and 10-5 on Saturday.
My sweet tooth and my desire to eat healthier have long been at odds, and I wanted to get a sense of how keto desserts compare to their sugarfied counterparts. That led me to To Your Health. It’s a small bakery with minimal seating, but there’s quite a bit here: cakes, cupcakes, pies, cookies, donuts, and more. As expected, there were more gluten-free than keto/paleo options, but a helpful staff member was able to point me toward a few sugar-free offerings.
I ultimately went with a piece of pumpkin cheesecake, which proved to be a somewhat mixed experience. I knew the texture would be different from a classic New York-style, and it was. However, the sweet, creamy filling with warm spice notes proved to be plenty tasty in its own right. Unfortunately, I couldn’t say the same about the crust as the pronounced almond flavor was a bit off-putting. Finally, while I was prepared for keto desserts to cost more, $9 for one piece of cheesecake still stung.
To Your
Health does a commendable job of providing options for those with food
allergies and sensitivities, and if I were in that camp, I might rate them higher.
I can appreciate the care they put into their offerings, but for me, they just
weren’t worth the cost.
