Comadre Panadería

Comadre Panadería offers an imaginative, heartfelt approach to Mexican-American baking, and yes—there are some gluten-free treasures (like the pink cake and polvorón) that actually taste like joy. But here's the thing: all gluten-free items are baked in a kitchen where wheat and other major allergens are handled, so true celiac safety isn't guaranteed. The team says they take every precaution to prevent cross-contact and will package items separately if you ask, but since there's no dedicated prep area or certified protocol, it's a bit of a leap of faith for those of us who are highly sensitive. If you're not ultra-reactive and have missed the flavors of pan dulce, this spot might still hit that nostalgic sweet spot—just be sure to communicate your needs clearly and weigh your comfort with shared space risk.
