Sweet Christine's Bakery - Kennett Square, Pa

I just returned from a three-day visit to the Brandywine Valley region of southeastern Pennsylvania (near the Delaware border). Sweet Christine's Bakery is on West State Street, the westbound (one-way) main street through Kennett Square, and everything in it is gluten-free! They are primarily a wholesale business, but the bakery is open to walk-in customers Wednesday-Saturday, 10:00-6:00. In addition to cookies, brownies, and cupcakes, they sell pizzas (in two sizes), bagels, and on Fridays and Saturdays--chicken salad and bean salad. There are a few tables for people who want to have lunch right there.

Their website is here: Open Original Shared Link

I highly recommend this bakery!

I'm considering a Labor Day trip to the Brandywine River area. Anyone have any other suggestions for restaurants?

Thanks,

Can't personally vouch for it, but Floga Bistro in Kennett Square, PA has gluten free pizza and pasta.

To help future searches, this applies to the Brandywine Valley area and Wilmington, DE.

Timing was off for a meal at Sweet Christine's but we did have muffins there and they were very good. I also got a pretzel stick to go and had that as a later snack and it was also good.

Pizza By Elizabeth just north of Wilmington was very convenient to the museums we were visiting so we had lunch there two days. The gluten-free crust seemed to be corn based. While I wasn't highly impressed with the crust alone, overall it was great pizza, generous toppings, etc.

For evening meals we stuck with the chains with gluten-free menus (PF Changs and Outback).

For the travel, if you like to tour homes and gardens of the wealthy, there are several owned by members of the Du Pont family in this area north of Wilmington. If you like art similar to N.C. or Andrew Wythe, the Brandywine Art Museum and Delaware Art Musem are good stops.

      Do Severe Symptoms at Celiac Diagnosis Predict Long-Term Health? (+Video)

      I was diagnosed 14 years ago. At the time, information was scarce. Everything said life expectancy was 65. I'm now 72. I follow the diet very strictly. I actually adopted a grain free diet too, because I had so much brain fog and other issues that didn't heal with a gluten free diet. People with persistent issues should really look at eliminating grains...

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      Hi. I went to a UK local restaurant that website / ring up said they provided "Gluten Free" food. When placing the order, the waitress & manager then told us they couldn't guarantee contamination occurs and would do their best. It didn't give me confidence and we politely left. I wrote them an email and received a polite reply, again saying they...

      Insomnia help

      Totally agree, that is an excellent point.

It is unusual to be offered much more than that. I was low normal/deficient in all three, and found that when I supplemented...

      Bold Taste, No Alcohol & Crafted to Remove Gluten: Daura Non-Alc Beer Takes Alcohol-Free Beer to the Next Level

      I'm being SERIOUS here! Absolutely none of the styles of beer I use to drink are ever represented in the gluten-free market.

      What should I expect from a UK restaurant advertising / offering "Gluten Free" food

      By colinukcoeliac · Posted

      Hi. I went to a UK local restaurant that website / ring up said they provided "Gluten Free" food. When placing the order, the waitress & manager then told us they couldn't guarantee contamination occurs and would do their best.  It didn't give me confidence and we politely left. I wrote them an email and received a polite reply, again saying they provide "Gluten Free" food but can't "guarantee contamination occurs". Specifically; their email states "I would like to clarify that while many of our products are indeed gluten-free, the very nature of our open kitchen, storage practices, and the close proximity of fryers alongside the use of gluten-containing products, means we cannot guarantee a completely gluten-free preparation environment." Many queries arise, but my main one is - Should they be displaying on their website "Gluten Free" if they don't have a gluten-free preparation environment ? I will continue to do my own research on the matter, mainly what should my expectations be from a restaurant advertising a "Gluten Free" menu. However, I would benefit a gossip with someone on the topic, or if can you direct me to more information. Thanks, Colin.

I was low normal/deficient in all three, and found that when I supplemented them all I felt better.  That said, my private nutritionist put me onto a very expensive broad spectrum supplement pill which no doubt went some way to address other deficiencies, and I took it into my own hands to take a supplement which contained all the B vitamins., too.  Interestingly, when I checked the supplements with my own GP a little while later she was very worried about the large doses of one particular vitamin that the broad spectrum supplement contained, so I came off the lot - although my gastroenterologist still has me take vitamin D.

      Did they ever tell you specifically which vitamins would interfere with which tests? Fermented pickles source of thiamine  and other B-vitamins, The fermentation process with lactic acid bacteria increases the nutrient value.   Colonies of beneficial bacteria can help crowd out the the bad SIBO. Have you had the rash biopsied for Dermatitus Herpetiformus?  Atopic Dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis share symtoms and atopic dermatitis patients have higher risk of dermatitis herpetiformis.  dermatitis herpetiformis is a symptom of Celiac diagnosis. When I had the carotid artery stent, the hospital put down "wheat allergy" for the food service.  I guess allergy puts the fear of god in them more than the misunderstood Celiac Disease.  Whatever keeps me alive in this world.

      You are correct.  Same place.  I have used their site for so long and have it bookmarked.  Still living in past.  Our support group was affiliated with them.

      Hmm, I think you mean the Gluten Intolerance Group®?  Their website is not gig.net.  Maybe it was at one point?  I am new to all of this, but did find their website here:  https://gluten.org/ Kind Regards, Known1
