Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had

Blackwater's is a nice place with a different slant to breakfast. They have tables with griddles in the center to allow you to fry your own pancakes. For a very reasonable $7, you get a 12 oz squeeze container with batter, which will make three 12 in plate sized pancakes. There are 4 different varieties to choose from: buttermilk, vegan, gluten free, and seasonal, which today was apple cinnamon. You can get other toppings and add-ins, like blueberries or chocolate chips for an additional price. There is also a full breakfast menu with the Backwater spin, like waffles and fried gator bites or chicken, and a lunch menu. The only downfall to the restaurant seemed to be their pricing of the add-ons for pancakes. Look at the menu and you see a side of bacon, sausage, or two eggs are $6 each. Home fries are $3.50 and toast $2. You get 2 slices of bacon for that $6. Yes, it's thick sliced and tasty, but a pound of thick sliced bacon gets you 10 pieces at a minimum, in some packs 12 to 14. That puts the bacon, somewhere in the $25 range a pound. I doubt the restaurant's paying that much for it. Then to boot, if you order the Southern Breakfast, you get your two eggs, bacon or sausage, home fries, and toast all for $13. That's a savings of $3 from a la carte. It's prices like this, that make us leary about going out to eat these days. Although, $13 is the typical price this morning for breakfast, I think if everybody took a hard look at how much it costs for their supplies that they buy in bulk, they could shave a couple dollars off the price, and they'd bring a few more customers in. Because words gets out that it's worthwhile venture. This would give them the funds to meet all their overhead requirements. So, shop wisely. Otherwise the experience and especially the wait staff are very nice.

I just happened to see the booth at the RenFest and HOLY MOLY -I ate 2 of those bacon cinnamon rolls while I was at the festival and I came back and bought one to take home. The snickerdoodles and chocolate cookies and apple crumble were fantastic too. Pretty sure I bought one of everything. It was nice to have a place I felt safe ordering from at the festival. Definitely stopping by every time I’m in town. You can’t even tell everything is gluten free, it’s just GOOD.

Jennie is such a friendly face to encounter when entering. Her energy is positively upbeat when sharing her favorites on the menu. Although I stopped in to grab a menu, I still managed to grab a Persistence of Spice cookie. It had the ideal balance and blend of spices and sweetness. The texture was dreamy too. Great care is taken to label and identify items in the case for individuals that may have dietary restrictions. Whether you are looking for gluten free pastries or a very tasty alternative to processed foods-you will be absolutely astounded by the quality that is delivered by the nature bakery. The space is charming and very inviting. Hoping to sit down with my husband to enjoy something from their breakfast or lunch menu soon. Thank you Jennie and Jacq for providing the community with a delicious pantry of pastries, bread and delights.

Unique. Reminds me of a subway order style. Customized personal pizza just shy of 11 bucks. Order any toppings you desire. Gluten-free pizza ordered by mother. Thin crust type pizza. Recommend baking a tad longer.
