The Red Bandana Bakery
100% Dedicated Gluten-Free
8218 Wisconsin Ave #101, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
Creative designs, stunning cakes, and a relaxed vibe make this bakery a favorite for anyone looking to indulge without limits!
Josephine GF
100% Dedicated Gluten-Free
4927 St Elmo Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
This cozy spot offers unique waffle sandwiches and delicious treats, all made with fresh ingredients and a whole lot of love.
If you are gluten free and you haven’t gone to Josephine GF, you’re doing yourself a serious disservice! I got several items and the cranberry small loaf and breakfast waffle were probably my favorite. Quite honestly I ate half of what I got before I even made it home. Highly highly recommend!!
Tatte Bakery & Cafe | Bethesda
Gluten-free options
7276 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
With a trendy industrial vibe and delicious coffee, this spot is a go-to for tasty treats and cozy ambiance but check hours before visiting!
I have been here three times because they have gluten free brownies and now I am pretty sure this is the most overhyped bakery in this area. 1. the staff are totally untrained in even basic human courtesy. They act as if they are giving free food to the customers. 2. The brownie size, appearance and taste are inconsistent. Once we were given a broken brownie that was half the thickness of a decent one on the shelf. 5$ for that is beyond ridiculous. Overall, would never recommend this place and actively discourage others from going there.
Levain Bakery – Bethesda Row, Maryland
Accommodating
4844 Bethesda Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
Expect immense, freshly baked cookies and a cozy vibe, perfect for sweet tooth cravings; just be ready for limited seating!
Prices are fair. They have promos when you buy a certain amount. Limited gluten free options. I loved the chocolate peanut butter one. No seating inside and limited seating outside downing on weather
Nothing Bundt Cakes
Gluten-free options
8209 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA
Perfectly delicious Received one as a gift yesterday. It was gorgeous, beautifully packaged, and just brought instant joy to the whole family. After dinner we tasted pure heaven in cake form. Exaggerating? Not really! It was light and fluffy, evenly sweet (not too sugary) and the icing was fluffy and tasted great. Even my husband who does not eat ANY sweets, had a bite and then another. I’m going to gift to friends for special occasions. Very convenient that they deliver. Came in a nice, reusable bag, too. Very happy and highly recommend you try it. They even have gluten free options. Update: day 2 of the cake is just as good. We couldn’t even tell that it was a day old. Still moist, fluffy and just as delicious.
