I recently discovered a
100% gluten free bakery in the town of
Huntington on
Long Island called
Wild Flours Bake Shop. They sell a large variety of
gluten free baked goods including
cookies,
scones,
muffins,
brownies,
cupcakes,
pies,
breads,
cakes and other
delicious desserts. In addition, they have some seating so you can enjoy a scone with a cup of tea right in their store.
In their baked goods, they tend to use a bunch of different
gluten free flours - hence, the name "wild" flours instead of just using the most common
gluten free flours (rice, corn, etc.). The flours they work with include:
arrowroot,
brown rice,
cabernet,
fava bean,
garbanzo,
mesquite,
millet,
potato,
sorghum,
sweet rice,
teff,
tapioca and
quinoa.
Many of their products are
vegan and select products are
available for shipping!
In addition, they serve
organic,
fair trade, and/or
socially responsible coffee,
unrefined sugar and
chocolate. Their baked goods are made with
filtered water and they rarely use a microwave. All of their plates, cups and utensils are made from corn and, therefore, are
biodegradable. The bakery boxes are made from
100% recycled materials and they only use
unbleached products including parchment paper. Upon request, they can bake and serve you pies in a
stainless steel plate instead of aluminum.
Non-toxic cleaning agents are used in the kitchen, as well as, in the customer service area. And in addition to all of these great features,
eco-friendly stain and natural wood building materials were used in the renovation of the space.
I've sampled several items from their bakery so far including a
vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, an
apple muffin, a
blueberry muffin, and a
chocolate espresso scone. Although, each item was delicious my favorite was the
blueberry muffin!
