The Sansglu take

The place

A counter-service cafe, bakery, and take-home grocery on North East Street in Downtown Frederick, run by Kelly Boyer with her mother and grandmother. Seating is outdoors at self-serve bistro tables; most of the trade is takeout.

The gluten-free setup

The whole facility is dedicated gluten-free, and community reports back it with fresh reviews this week. The shop also keeps the space wheat-free, nut-free, and shellfish-free by its own house rules, with dairy-free and vegan options marked.

What to order

The menu lists house-made chicken tenders with Old Bay fries as the standing favorite, alongside baked goods and freezer meals to take home.

The move

Plan around the short week: Thursday to Saturday 11am to 7pm (kitchen closes 6:30) and Sunday 10am to 3pm, closed Monday through Wednesday.
