I discovered that I was intolerant to wheat several years ago. It made grabbing a quick lunch in Reading almost impossible, unless you were lucky enough to come upon the one variety of sandwich offered by Starbucks before the limited stock ran out.
And THEN . . . Nibsy’s arrived (Hurrah!). Everything, but EVERYTHING is gluten free and DELICIOUS, and as a bonus, the café is beautiful and the staff are friendly.
It is now my ‘go-to’ place – great for chats, writing, editing, chilling, etc, etc. I even make a trip into Reading for the specific purpose of enjoying a coffee (decaf) and a slice of their delicious gluten-free (and for me sugar-free) cake, just like a ‘normal’ – although my husband would question that – person! Nibsy’s is SO worth a visit.
I used to wander aimlessly
And pound the Reading streets
Searching for a place which served
Some food that I could eat
I then discovered Nibsy’s, I
Could not believe my eyes . . .
ALL the food is GLUTEN FREE
(I’m in ‘Cake Heaven’ sighs *!*!)
An oh so cosy chatty spot
That welcomes you right in
With yummy ‘melt in mouth’ delights
Send taste buds in a spin
So I no longer look around –
Head straight for Nibsy’s door
You never, ever get your fill . . .
They keep you wanting more . . .
. . . and more
. . . and more !!!
