100% gluten free facility.

Beautiful looking treats.

Taste even better than they look.

The rainbow variety of macarons each has a distinct flavor. They are crisp with a bit of a chew. Packaged for presentation.

The cinnamon roll had outstanding texture. Hard to believe it is gluten free.

They also sell a variety of other baked goods including cookies, cupcakes, bagels and rolls. Cakes are made to order.

Definitely worth a trip.

Located in historic downtown Willoughby the market carries a variety of locally sourced and produced gluten-free snacks and food products. Many of the items have been available via NEOhio’s rockin’ farm market vendors, some are available at local grocers but in this shop they are all easily identified and available.

The shop will also be creating events and lectures for informing the public on critical health and wellness issues including nutrition workshops.

Some of the items on the shelves this past week included Minus G, Cleveland Kraut, Rust Belt Pepper Co., Cleveland Pickles, salsas, nuts, crackers, and more!

Nothing Bundt Cakes

South Euclid, Avon, Canton

First the bad news: Nothing Bundt Cakes makes beautiful (mostly) gluten filled cakes.

The (maybe) good news is that “gluten-free flavor is available at select bakeries”.

This bakery makes only bundt cakes in a variety of sizes. There were a number of flavors on display, one of which was gluten free chocolate chip.

The counter clerk shared a binder with cake ingredients and assured me that separate pans and utensils are used in preparation.

The “Bundtlet” was a large muffin size, moist and dotted with mini chocolate chips. It was topped with their signature cream cheese frosting. A truly decadent treat.

Two sizes are available gluten free. The “Bundlet” was $5 (50 cents more than the gluten filled options) and 8 inch for $25 ($3 more). The clerk said that cakes are available with 20 minutes notice.

I visited the South Euclid store located on the North side of Cedar Center – 13949 Cedar Rd, South Euclid, OH 44118.

Other nearby stores are in Avon (35925 Detroit Rd, Avon, OH 44011) and Canton (4468 Belden Village St NW, Canton, OH 44718). They may have the gluten free cakes.
