D.A.S.H Coffee Shop – Caledonian Road






I have walked past this small coffee shops for two months now, nearly every day on my way to the same monotonous Tesco to get my bits for lunch. It is always packed, and there are always queues.

Today I thought I would pop in on the off chance that they sold anything remotely gluten free (as I saw they had Nak’d bars for sale on the counter).
To my surprise they did, which was great. The Mandarin and chocolate cake, and if I am perfectly honest my first thought was…ohh I don’t like chocolate orange (I am more of a mint chocolate girl) but it looked so good I thought I had to try. It was too busy in there to take a pic of the nice cake stand it was presented on.




I don’t know how many calories this large slice has, but quite frankly I don’t care because it is such a delicious treat. I am going to Body Combat tonight which will blast any excess calories away.

It is such a rarity to have a NICE homemade gluten free cake. It is moist, which is sometimes non-existent. The Mandarin flavour isn’t too strong either, it is the right balance of orange to chocolate.

I am quite glad I popped in, otherwise I think I would be missing out. The only thing is it’s a bit of a steal at £2.70 … I think the visits will have to be few and far between …for my waistline and purses sake!

Another little local place selling Gluten Free Goodies.
