A & J Bakery

BEST GLUTEN FREE DESSERT OPTIONS

Recently had the dreaded Celiac diagnosis in my family. We enjoyed visiting A & J Bakery. Especially at the beginning, reading ingredient labels is a little overwhelming. It was so nice to walk inside and know everything was safe to bring home. We tried dessert at the counter, cheesecake and a cannoli, and purchased a few staple panty items. We also tested out the ravioli (which was great), and will be testing out the GF pizza crust next. Overall very pleased to have this local alternative available.

My wife and I went to the CT Gluten Free expo back in the end of March. A&J Bakery had such a long line, that we were never able to try or buy anything. We had a trip to RI to visit friends and knew we had to take the opportunity to stop by and buy a few goodies. The guy who was there was very attentive, asked lots of questions, things we were looking for and all allergies we had. He was a real sweetie and appreciated his customer service. We got one of: Plain cheesecake, Chocolate Mouse pie, vanilla cupcake with vanilla frosting, box of variety biscotti, chocolate covered pretzels, cannoli, tiramisu, brownie with caramel butterscotch, and a chocolate Hostess cupcake. We split (almost) everything in half. My favorites are: Plain cheesecake, cannoli, tiramisu, and the chocolate hostess cupcake. We are dreaming of the day we are able to come back so I can get my dream of the cinnamon roll/bun and a few other things I was eyeing but knew this was enough. Highly recommend this place for your gluten free needs!
