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.

      Gluten Free Sugar or Starch known to increase gas?

      I noticed when eating some gluten-free foods I get increase of gas. I read it can be due to starches or sugar. But is there a particular name of the sugar or starch known to cause increase of gas to look in the ingredients to avoid. Thanks

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @science enthusiast Christi! I don't have a problem with disaccharides but I do with polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates which are so common in many gluten free processed foods. Gar gum, xanthan gum, pea fiber, chicory root, inulin etc. All those "prebiotics".

      I know these topics are a few years old but thought I would comment. My daughter was diagnosed last November from endoscopy end of August. Having good and bad days but recently having a bout of lower back pain, bloating, some abdominal discomfort with a feeling of pressure. She’s doing her best with gluten free and finally has an appointment with the dietitian this week, also waiting to have several blood tests done. Have told her it takes time for things to settle but she’s worried it might be recurrence of an ovarian cyst from 2/3 years ago.
