| Ultimate Veggie Burger at Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL |
The veggie patty was spicy. I'm not saying it was hot and spicy. I'm saying it had plenty of flavor from spices. And the texture was mostly soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside. Chunks of veggies were mixed throughout the patty. The bun was clearly a gluten-free house-made bun. It was good, but most gluten-free bread has a texture that gives it away. It had the texture and flavor almost like a soft southern biscuit. The vegan "bacon" had the tough, crunchy texture of real bacon but the flavor of grilled mushrooms. The "cheese" and creamy "aioli" were excellent. It all came together to make a really nice sandwich. The spice made this one taste unlike any other veggie burger I've had. The size is generous and satisfying. The vegan "bacon" could have been a little bit saltier to make it taste more like real bacon, and the bread could have been just a bit sweeter, but those are very minor issues. This was an excellent veggie burger!
Smoked Jicama Slaw
The meal came with one side option, so I chose the vegan slaw. This was served cold. It was crisp, tangy, and peppery. It seemed to be cauliflower with carrot, red pepper, and a creamy sauce. This was also excellent!

Cloud 9 Cupcake
Mason Dixon Bakery makes vegan sweets too! Here's the Cloud 9 cupcake. The bottom part tasted like mild chocolate cake, and the top was very rich and sweet. This was excellent but very sweet.

Mason Dixon Bakery in Huntsville AL is a cozy little place that's vegan-friendly and specializes in gluten-free foods. The vegan items are clearly marked, and they identify all foods (GF, DF, EF, V, SF, rice free, corn free, potato free) to help people with special dietary needs. This is a rare and greatly appreciated treasure of prepared specialty foods in the south.
Mason Dixon Bakery appears to be in an old 1930s cottage-style house. It has a familiar smell of an old house, almost like Grandma's house with cookies in the oven. The floor echoes when people walk. The surfaces are worn but clean. The front door is clunky and loud. The rooms are small. They do offer outdoor seating on the large deck for those who need more space. During my visit, I received friendly southern service with smiles. I felt like a guest in someone's home. I usually prefer modern restaurants, but this was really nice. I would recommend this place to anyone, especially those with food restrictions.
