Best Gluten Free Bakery in Kansas City

Zest Gluten Free Bakery is the kind of place that makes you feel seen, especially if you know the struggle of safe, delicious gluten-free treats. Meegan, the owner and baker, lives with celiac disease herself and brings over 25 years of professional experience (plus a culinary degree!) to her dedicated gluten-free kitchen. Every bite here feels like it’s made by someone who truly gets what’s at stake—no cardboard stand-ins, just honest-to-goodness flavor and peace of mind. For anyone who’s ever eyed a pastry case with suspicion, Zest delivers pure joy—gluten-free, cross-contact-free, and full of heart.

You know what? The Littlest Bake Shop is the kind of place celiacs dream about—it's a 100% gluten-free, vegan facility run by someone who truly gets it because the owner is a symptomatic celiac.

From fluffy cupcakes to hearty brunches, the scratch-made menu is packed with safe, creative options and clearly marked allergens—plus staff who are genuinely happy to answer detailed questions. It’s one of those rare spots where you can finally let your guard down and just savor the moment, maybe even with a cinnamon roll and coffee that tastes like normalcy itself.
