Something Sweet Without Wheat is a bakery built from a mother’s love—and the real kicker is, the founder and her kids have celiac themselves. This spot is a true dedicated gluten-free facility, so every single loaf, bagel, and treat is made without a speck of wheat or cross-contact worries. You’ll find everything from chewy bagels to decadent pastries, plus plenty of dairy-free and vegan options—honestly, it’s a rare relief to shop without reading every label twice. Sure, some folks mention quirks in texture or price, but that feeling of safety? For our community, it’s almost priceless.
