- Joyana Peters Mcmahon

Everyone knows it can be difficult to find gluten- free baked goods as tasty as the originals. But these bakers have made gluten- free baking an art form. Scattered across the Northern Virginia region, these bakeries are as diverse as their offerings. Each baker has a unique story as well as a unique process. The takeaway?

The gluten-free consumer in Northern Virginia has no reason to be deprived. Their only problem now is figuring out where to hit first. Join me as I explore the top gluten-free bakeries in the Northern Virginia area.

Triple Oak Bakery Sperryville, VA

With an entire family affected by allergies as well as herself, it’s a good thing owner, Brooke Parkhurst, always loved to be in the kitchen. Her experimenting resulted in an entire line of gluten-free flour blends and mixes for cakes and pie crusts. She also makes gluten-free bagels, quiches, scones and more. Triple Oak’s most famous item is their gluten-free baklava which is the only one made in the United States. Nestled amongst the foot of Shenandoah National Park, you need to seek out this entirely gluten-free bakery, but they are definitely worth it! They do also provide a bustling mail order business. After sampling their products I can safely say they are amongst my favorite savory gluten-free baked goods and breads. And of course, you also need to try their baklava!
