Tropical Fruit Tart
5 Stars
This bar is very refreshing with a wonderful fruit and citrus flavor and soft chewy texture.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
2 Stars
I'm not a fan of this flavor. The bar would be much better without the chocolate chips that somehow leave a funny aftertaste.
Coconut Cream Pie
5 Stars
Oh my I do love coconut, and this bar was better then I expected it to be. Wonderful texture and not too chewy. This would be a great replacement for the raspberry coconut zingers I'm addicted to!
Cinnamon Roll
3 Stars
This one didn't blow me away or disappoint so I am giving it an average review. The bar was a little harder then I would have preferred and the Cinnamon flavor could have been stronger. It should just be called Cinnamon as it does not have any flavors that could hint as being a healthy bar flavored like a cinnamon roll. If you like cinnamon you will probably like this bar but if you are indifferent to cinnamon I would skip this one.
Cashew Cookie
3 Stars *Updated still 3 stars
This one's ok... Good texture, not nearly the amount of cashew flavor I expected for something called "Cashew Cookie", and it almost had a stale flavor even though it was eaten well before the best by date. *Someone mentioned I might have had an expired one. I assure you I did not but to be fair I tried another just today and all these years later my reaction is the same. Wishing I would have picked up the Blueberry Muffin bar right next to it...
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
5 Stars
This bar definitely hit my sweet tooth. Great texture, no funny aftertaste like some of the other chocolate Larabar flavors and I would definitely put this on the list of candy bar replacements!
Pecan Pie
5 Stars
Not overwhelmingly sweet, great pecan pie flavor, perfect soft, slightly chewy texture.
Lemon Bar
5 Stars
Very nice Lemon flavor and a wonderful chewy texture that reminds you of an actual Lemon Bar! The Lemon lingers in your mouth quite a while.
Banana Bread
1 Star
This bar was bitter. There's only 3 ingredients: Almonds, Dates, and Unsweetened bananas. Well bananas are naturally sweet so what was so bitter in this bar? Some people might not find this as bad as I did, but I couldn't get past the first bite.
Apple Pie
5 Stars
Another favorite flavor. It tastes like apple pie with a few nuts. It's just perfect.
Ginger Snap
5 Stars
Wonderful Ginger snap cookie taste! This is probably the sweetest one I've tried. Good texture, chewy and crunchy, and delicious.
Peanut Butter & Jelly
3 Stars
This bar had a great texture but only a so-so flavor. I would not purchase a full box of these bars, but I would pick it over some of the others if I had a limited choice.
Key Lime Pie
5 Stars
This was a nutty bar, which is to be expected, but the subtle hint of lime was delightful. I could stand to use even more lime flavor but the soft chewy texture and lime flavor make this one of my favorites.
UPDATE w/Additional Flavors:
Blueberry Muffin
5 Stars
Oh, I think I've found a new favorite! This bar has a wonderfully rich blueberry flavor without being too sweet and it reminds me of a Blueberry Oatmeal Muffin.
Chocalate Coconut Chew
3 Stars
As a huge fan of the Coconut Cream I had high hopes for this bar but after eating it the only thing I could say was "Where's the coconut?!" I definitley missed the coconut texture and flavor. The chocolate flavor of this bar however was not too sweet, not overpowering, and overall the bar will suffice for a chocolate lovers craving.
every so often you will crunch down onto something that sounds and feels like a grain of single sand in between your molars as you're chewing on these and it is as nauseating as it sounds..an awful feeling, I'm sure it's a minute bit of shell or cherry pit or something but man it is unpleasant. it's not constant, but happens fairly often. to me it's worth it for a moment's discomfort, it's probably something natural a bit of dust from the cherry pits or the dates, these are natural products and I'm sure they can't catch every single bit of impurity and clean them as best they can, i'm trying to eat these instead of my normal sugary granola bars to be healthier so ill grin and bear it
There are dozens of health bars sold in grocery and even health food stores that are not even remotely healthy: they're full of sugar, and often starch as well. Larabars are not. At least, many of the flavors aren't. The original flavors -- of which these Cherry Pie bars are one -- contain only the main fruit or ingredient of that particular flavor (cherries, in this case) and dates and nuts.
I can't eat sugar or most starches, so these are virtually the only kind of snack bars I can eat. This is one of my favorite flavors, though many of the others are very good as well.(I also really like the blueberry bars and the "cashew cookie" bars.)
These things aren't terribly cheap, so it pays to keep an eye out for sales (and check other websites). I bought my recent box of these during an amazon deal-of-the-day promotion.
All that said, you'll sometimes run across these bars and find that they've become hard, meaning they're stale. When they're fresh, though, the fruit/nuts/dates Larabars are really good -- and healthy.
I cannot keep these in the house. I like most of the larabars, but the cherry pie ones are... special. The sweetness of the dates and the tartness of the cherries makes this the best flavor, hands-down. I love that there're only a few ingredients and they're not total processed-sugary. They're addictive as all get-out, though!
I love these things. I like several flavors, but I am obsessed with the Cherry Pie. I love, love, love that there are only a handful of ingredients - dried fruit and nuts, a little cinnamon. I throw these in my bag when I'm running out the door for a healthy, tasty snack on the go. My kids ages 6 and 10 eat them too, which I love because I know they are getting something nutritious and wholesome without added sugar and chemicals.

These are way too good to have in the house. I can't stay out of them! Just thoroughly delicious. Very tart cherry flavor and little chunks of nuts. I can nibble my way through two at a time. Unfortunately they are not low calorie. I need a lock box on time release to keep me from eating too many! They are very yummy.
It has been a few years since I first tried Larabars, so I don't remember exactly what my first impression was. Since going gluten free, I've tried a number of snack and meal bars for convenience and this is still the simplest and best-tasting one. It has a bright, fresh cherry flavor and a nice balance of chewy fruit and nut textures.
This is one of the only gluten free snacks that I buy that is remotely healthy and still edible to gluten eaters.
It doesn't taste like a cherry pie. Give them some artistic license, but without butter flavor or flaky crust texture, it tastes like cherry pie filling mixed with trail mix. It's still really good, really simple, and very satisfying.
You really can't go wrong with Larabars. I haven't tried a flavor that I didn't like, and they fit into many dietary requirements. I am a Paleo eater, and my friends are vegan, yet this is a sweet that we can share. I love that the ingredients are TRULY clean, and not just marketed to appear that way. My husband, who normally hates health foods, loves this to tide over his hunger in the mornings or before lunch. They are small, and pricier than bars that are made of junk, but please try them. You will not regret it.
Here’s a real picture of my countertop. I should have invested in Larabar years ago when I first tried one. The chocolate peanut butter one and the apple pie one have been staples in my household for a few years. These bars make eating while foods so much easier. My son loves this one (he’s two). He is such a picky eater so it makes me feel great knowing he’s getting some nutrition in him with these around. Thanks Lara!
These are great for tossing in the bag for snacks on the go. I keep a few in my desk at work. I bought several flavors to keep in our van for emergencies. We live in Alaska so it's good to be prepared. My family loves them! No added garbage, Just Awesome ingredients! Real food for real people! My favorites are the Cherry pie and the lemon bar. Key lime is ok but taste more coconutty to me.
