Prior to Covid I had enjoyed many global travel adventures. Then, like most others, there was utter shock as the nation locked down, movie theaters and restaurants closed and we sheltered in place. Any and all thoughts of planning new travel adventures were DOA. Dreaded months with no vaccine in sight brought fear and the specter of loss all around us. May or even most were touched by loss. In early 2022 I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 and put on a low carb regimen. My love of carb laden bread, cookies cakes and the like made this all the more difficult. Enter my local health food shop! Peering down one aisle I caught sight of a colorful display of of Sami’s Millet & Flax chips. Their nutritional labels passed muster in every category. The low Plain chips had zero sugar, zero saturated fat and low carbs while other flavors I tried were close albeit a bit of sugar in some. I preferred the plain chips with zero sugar. When my local health food shop stopped carrying your chips I easily ordered them, sometimes a dozen or more bags per order. Finally, in the Spring of 2022 there was light at the end of the Covid tunnel. My ming body and soul need to get away, to bask in sunshine and breath fresh air. Living in the SF Bay Area gave me one sure way to go. In a flash I booked a ten days cruise from SF to Alaska inside passage. As an experienced cruiser I knew well the ‘perils’ of high carb temptations from breakfast bagels, to pizza snacks and a menu list of delectable desserts! What to do? What to do? My master plan was ultra successful. I packed I packed four packages of our Millet & Flax Plain chips and contemplated this wonderful cruise as the ships set sail. Breakfasts on cruise ships are a delight. I headed straight for the omelette chef for my egg whites mixed with healthy veggies. Next, was cream cheese and smoked salmon lathered atop You guessed it, my Millet & Flax chips. I was in cruise ship breakfast heaven. Lunches offered many protein/veggie choices so no need for the chips. BUT, I did snag a zip lock full of cheese slices. I added chips to the bag and enjoyed great chips and cheese snacks at pools side.. Dinners were awesome! Chips with butter instead of bread worked super well. When I was served my favorite french onion soup sans bread I added crushed chips so totally yummy! My substitute for the menus tempting desserts was nightly red sugar free Jello with real whipped cream. My back up was their nightly cheese platter together with your chips. Sami’s chips came through big time allowing me to ‘keep legal’ while enjoying the ships sensational meals!

I discovered Samis Bakery over 15yrs ago. I was immediately hooked on the flax and millet tortillas and liked them so much that I started buying them online regularly. MY whole family loved them and I would have to tell them where I got them because they thought they were the best. They truly taste amazing! I also discovered the flax cinnamon chips and started buying them every Christmas for my clients who absolutely love them. They actually look forward to them!! I am a fitness trainer and I always look for natural foods that I can share with my clients. Samis Bakery is definitely one I am very proud and love to tell others, because the food always tastes so good. I don’t think I have ever bought an item I have not liked.

About 10 years ago I had to be gluten free. I was upset because I couldn’t find a breakfast bread that tasted good. Then I found Sami’s millet and flax bagels. They were delicious. Next I tried the millet and flax sourdough bread. I fell in love with the bread and then the dinner rolls. Even my husband who isn’t gluten free loves these products. I enjoy eating again.

Seven years ago, I was shopping as a tourist at Provisions market in Sag Harbor, NY. I came across a basket with your flax and millet lavash inside and was intrigued. Don’t ask me why, perhaps it was the simplicity, your humble vibes and the integrity of your ingredients that I purchased 1-package. I played with them in a cast iron pan, a warm oven and room temperature and since that purchase I have been a devotee of your brick oven lavash. One year after I discovered Sami’s lavash my husband suddenly passed away. In the weeks that followed my home was filled with friends, neighbors, families and colleagues and Sami’s lavash was introduced and served to all. Your lavash sustained all of us through these difficult times. These many years later, I continue to adore and devour Sami’s lavash in so many different ways, each and every day. It nourishes my soul and my body and puts a smile on my face. Thank you Sami’s! With love,

Sami’s Bakery is a God Send. All of my life I have had health problems. I didn’t discover until I was 38 years old that I had a wheat sensitivity. Wheat was the cause of a lot of my health issues. I was told food is medicine. So after trying many substitutes to wheat, by the Grace of God I found Sami’s. Bread is life. And Sami’s has made my life a whole lot better and healthier. I only eat the Millet and Millet and Flax products and they are delicious. So much so that for Thanksgiving dinner we always make stuffing( which is my favorite dish ) from the Millet and Flax Bread. My family loves it. Pizza is another delicious food that I can enjoy now. We use the pizza crusts or we make pizza breads using the sub rolls. If you can’t engage in any wheat products and along comes a product that is excellent for your health and is delicious, it is one of the true blessings of life. No longer am I on the outside looking in. But I am a part of the party now. Thank you Sami’s for giving my family this great gift of life, bread.

Hello my Sami’s bakery friends I’ve been getting Sami’s bread for about 10 years and it has been such a godsend. I’m gluten intolerant and I can’t have yeast either, so Sami’s bread has been perfect for me. I first discovered it in a health food store on the mainland when I was living on an island off the coast of Maine. The owner showed me how I could order it myself and I have been getting it ever since. One of my favorite things to make is Turkey stuffing during the holidays. None of my family knows I used your bread because I’ve mastered making it taste the same. Thank you for providing a wonderful product so I can enjoy tasty bread without getting sick.

We discovered Sami’s in 2018 and found they were an amazing addition to our low-carb lifestyle! When our world and everyone else’s changed in March of 2019, we began the challenge of cooking all meals at home. It was a challenge all of us faced. With the ability to order online and using Sami’s shipping of items we were able to continue our low-carb lifestyle and were pushed to become even more creative with our Sami’s products. For example, we began making bread crumbs to use in recipes by toasting and grating low carb sliced bread, we made small individual pizzas using low carb lavash and of course continued to enjoy our favorite products – bagels and crackers! Sami’s enabled us to come through that difficult time having had wonderful meals without changing our eating habits. While our story is not a life changing one – it is a grateful one to Sami’s for these outstanding products. Thanks so much! Jo and Jack Thank you, Sami’s,

Hello, Sami’s! Here’s my story: In 2004 I experienced some health problems, and my holistic doctors suggested I drop yeast and wheat from my diet. Our local health food store, Sawall’s Health Foods, introduced me to your wonderful products. I delighted in their delicious taste and the time and ease they afforded a busy working wife and mother. In 2015 we moved to Louisville, KY, and I was pleased to learn your products were sold here. But! Every time I went to the store to make a purchase, they were out. I went to different areas of the city and had the same problem. I called your bakery and learned that you ship your breads all over the country! Never dreamt I could have bread from Florida delivered to my front door. Here I am eight years later telling you how much I enjoy your delicious products. I pray for you folks every time a bad storm or hurricane is headed your way. Not just me, but the whole nation needs you! Thanks, Sami’s, for the great work you do for all of us. Oh, yes! You have the nicest people answer your phones, so I’m sure your bakers and all your employees must be the nicest, best people ever. Thanks so much!

My story, When I first found your amazing bread I was experiencing such distress in my body due to the gluten and other ingredients found in other breads. When I first tasted your bread I cried tears of joy, no lie, due to finally being able to eat gluten free bread that tastes good. I’ve been a loyal customer for over ten years now since and I am so grateful your business exists. Thank you.

Well I don’t know about how important my story will be with you, but I would like to share that I gave up on finding a bread that tasted good and had texture that I could actually eat. I have a very sensitive stomach that doesn’t tolerate a number of foods. Your millet-flax bread is yeast free and as well as wheat free. I feel normal eating a decent sandwich now. I first discovered your bread at a specialty market, but later they stopped carrying it. I was devastated. I went on line and found you. You later dropped your shipping prices and now I can buy more at a time. I love your Millet flax spinach lavish and with them I make burritos, pizza, and wraps, or cut them in triangles, heat and eat them with hummus. It’s so good. I stay away from oil too and I am grateful to be able to be eat according to my dietary restrictions. Thank you for your consideration of others!

I love Sami’s Bakery! I am a bread (carb) girl, when that is taken away from you later in life due to wheat and gluten intolerance it’s tough. I tried several different breads, they all tasted like eating cardboard or very heavy and dense. Tried making my own also, you will spend far less with Sami’s. I was introduced to Sami’s from my care wellness doctor in Melbourne FL.. I was a snowbird from NY ( not the city) . In the summer months I would have it delivered to NY, still tasted way better than any other. Currently living in NC and still having it delivered to me. I have not had a thing I didn’t like. My hubby that can eat anything also loves it. Can you say Pizza! Their crust is lip smacking. I typically buy the millet and flax seed, but also love the gluten free sourdough bread. Happy Eating

We enjoy many Samis products, and it’s always fun to try new ones. I was excited to try the pumpkin bread, and ordered it right away. Sure enough, we practically ate half the loaf soon after it arrived; toasted and buttered to be sure! So, when around the holidays Samis put the pumpkin bread on a special offer, I began thinking about it. Why not spread the joy! I decided it would make a delightful holiday gift for our neighbors. Our neighborhood has shifted in the last few years. Many of our dear, elderly ones have died, and we have many new, young families. My husband and I are now the “wise ones” in the neighborhood, having lived in our house for 33 years now. We had just enjoyed Halloween so much with all the children who are now around, and that friendly feeling of a recent new phenomenon- a block party- was still very much present in me. The bread seemed like a perfect gift to continue this deepened community feeling. When my bread order arrived in early December, I put the loaves into gift bags with bows. Then my husband and I had so much fun delivering them! We went to ten houses. Most of the families were home, and we had such pleasant chit chats before moving on. The recipients were so happy and surprised at the gift! Very quickly, the positive feedback starting flowing to us- everyone was amazed and delighted with how delicious the bread was! And, a sweet and unexpected post script occurred. Other neighbors started bringing everyone presents as the month went on. The bread was a huge hit! I’m looking forward to making this a lovely yearly ritual.
