The Sansglu take

The place

Fully dedicated gluten-free bakery where every item on the menu is GF. House-made breads and custom cakes, separate kitchen from day one, staff trained on celiac protocols.

The gluten-free setup

Dedicated gluten-free kitchen with no wheat flour on the premises. All tools and ingredients are GF-only, with staff trained on celiac handling. The whole operation runs gluten-free end to end.

What to order

Without a detailed menu, the safest bet is asking what's fresh that day. House-made breads and custom cakes are the core, so grab a loaf if you're stocking your freezer, or order a custom cake for an occasion when you don't usually get to do that.

The move

Call ahead for custom orders or to ask what's baked today. Dedicated spots move slower than hybrid bakeries, so plan accordingly.
