1. The Difference Baker

Allergen-Free Bakery

22000 Dulles Retail Plaza · Sterling

100% gluten-free kitchen

The cinnamon roll, iced and the size of your hand, then something savory: the kitchen does full breakfast and lunch bakes, not just sweets. Cookie cakes handle the birthdays.

Everything here is free of gluten plus peanuts, tree nuts, soy, sesame, fish, and shellfish, which makes it the multi-allergy family stop in Loudoun County. It moved to Dulles 28 Centre in May 2026, so ignore older Ashburn addresses and head to the new storefront near Target.

Sterling gluten-free FAQ

Where can I find a gluten-free bakery in Sterling?

Start with The Difference Baker. This guide includes 1 gluten-free bakery, with map locations, order notes, safety tiers, and links to restaurant pages when available.

Are these Sterling restaurants dedicated gluten-free?

Not necessarily. Each listing shows its current Sansglu safety tier. A dedicated facility, a separate gluten-free kitchen, and gluten-free options in a shared kitchen are different signals. Confirm current ingredients and preparation practices before eating.

How does this neighborhood guide decide what to include?

The page starts with restaurants in the Sansglu guide dataset, then checks restaurant sourcing, menus, kitchen setup signals, and whether each spot has a publishable restaurant page. It is an editorial field guide, not a paid placement list.

What should I check before dining?

Confirm whether the whole kitchen is still gluten-free, ask about ingredients and prep changes, and use the live app page for current safety signals. The guide is decision support, not a guarantee of medical safety.
