| A 100% gluten free restaurant/bakery means the restaurant/bakery has a kitchen that is used to prepare gluten free food only. No products that contain gluten are used in the facility. There should be almost no risk of cross contamination in these restaurants or bakeries. Zest Bakery is a gluten free bakery and a gluten free restaurant. There are very few gluten free restaurants or gluten free bakeries in North America. The Celiac Restaurant Guide encourages you to support gluten free restaurants and gluten free bakeries if they are near yopu. When they are supported by celiacs, more will open, and the ones that are already there will continue to profit and operate in our communities. |
Zest Bakery - a 100% Gluten Free Restaurant/Bakery
Many of our customers have Celiac’s disease or have an intolerance to gluten. Most commonly, the protein gluten is found in wheat and wheat flour. These ingredients are the base of most breads and pastries. We aim to provide wholesome and affordable alternatives to the breads and desserts many people have to live without due to allergies.
As our name suggests, we are a passionate (and zesty!) bakery that strives to provide delicious, gluten-free foods and desserts in the Bay Area. To ensure there are no gluten-containing products present in the bakery or on our equipment, we are building our bakery from scratch. None of our products use any grains, such as spelt, that contain gluten. Our goodies are baked fresh every day to bring you the freshest products possible.
There are many health benefits of avoiding traditional bakery ingredients. Refined, bleached flours can damage your digestive system and stimulate cravings. We strive to provide products that don’t contain these flours but taste just as great as those that you’re traditionally used to eating. We provide healthier alternatives for those who are intolerant of gluten or just want to be more mindful of how their diet impacts their weight, health and overall wellbeing.
Our goal is for even those without allergies to love our goodies! Simply said, our products are great for Celiacs, but still good for everyone.
