Something Sweet Without Wheat is a dedicated gluten-free bakery—no wheat, no worries, just real peace of mind. Founded by a mom whose own celiac diagnosis (and her kids') turned her kitchen into a safe haven, this place understands firsthand what it means to eat without fear. The menu covers nearly every craving, from chewy bagels to pillowy cupcakes, and most items are also dairy-, nut-, and soy-free. Sure, opinions on taste and texture are mixed (and prices might make you pause), but for celiacs, the safety here is ironclad—sometimes that's the only ingredient that truly matters.
