100% Dedicated Gluten-Free Restaurants in West Somerville

Twist Bakery & Café is a true haven for anyone who needs gluten entirely out of their lives—especially if you’ve ever felt left out or anxious about cross-contact. The owner, Kathryn Ernst, knows the struggle firsthand: she’s lived with gluten and multiple food allergies for years, and built Twist as a 100% dedicated gluten-free (and peanut/tree nut/soy-free) facility. That means you can finally relax and enjoy everything from tender turkey empanadas to cupcakes and lemon squares, all made in-house with the same care she’d use for her own family. Honestly, it’s one of those rare places where you can taste the freedom—and safety—in every bite, and that’s not something celiacs get to say often.

If you’ve ever wished for a bakery where celiacs can breathe easy and indulge without a second thought, Whisked Gluten-Free Bakery is that rare find. This is a fully dedicated gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, and sesame-free facility—certified and meticulously managed, with protocols that leave no room for doubt (they even replaced HVAC systems and staff uniforms when going nut-free). The team’s deep awareness of celiac needs is clear in every detail, from their third-party GF certification to ingredient sourcing and transparent allergen info. Whether you’re after chewy sourdough, vegan cakes, or simply the peace of mind that comes from true safety, this place wraps it all up with genuine warmth and joy—just what our community craves.

Simply Sweet Gluten Free Bakeshop isn’t just gluten-free by name—it’s a true safe haven for celiacs, lovingly born from a mother’s determination after her son’s diagnosis. Every cake, cupcake, or cookie is crafted in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, with the owner’s personal connection to celiac disease shining through in her meticulous attention to safety. There’s no worry of cross-contact with wheat here; the space is exclusively gluten-free, and ingredients are chosen with care. You can finally order that show-stopping birthday or wedding cake and actually enjoy every bite without the familiar anxiety—because here, it really is all about trust and celebration.
