A Better Choice Bakery

Had out of state guests in town for Easter. Three of them are gluten intolerant. Easy fix for their quick breakfast or snacking - so I thought. I bought the lemon blueberry muffins (crumbly texture and odd taste), coconut macaroons (enjoyed immensely), and the cinnamon swirl bread (not like bread but even better that it was like cinnamon cake).  

Everyone here agreed to the comments. Gluten free has come a long way, but there is still room for improvement. If you need gluten free, this is the best place to get it. Just don't expect it to taste like the regular varieties.

Remember to order ahead as this shop is only open on Thursday and Saturday.  Order the cinnamon swirl bread and serve it for dessert. We used it for French Toast.

I was SO excited when I found out this bakery was going to start participating in the Saturday Rockville Pike market and the Sunday Bethesda market.  The first time she was at the Pike market, I got there later than I usually do and quite a few of her items had already sold out. I did pick up a pumpkin cupcake, and found it to be quite delicious (although the frosting was a tad sweet for my taste). The following week I tried the peanut butter brownie, which was amazing, although I would prefer a tad more PB.

A better choice? How about the only choice. Yes she makes gluten free and many vegan options but seriously you can't tell from eating them. These are some of the best pastries and cakes I've ever had. I had a birthday party and needed a milk/egg/nightshade and gluten free cake and honestly it was the star of the night. Everyone went back for seconds!
