Bare Naked Bakery and Cafe

2572 Merrick Road, Bellmore
516-809-7370

Bridget Brennan, the brains and the owner of Bare Naked, had a very personal reason for opening up her thriving business. Her sister was put on a wheat-free diet back in 2006, and Brennan followed suit. She quickly realized that some of her chronic ailments quickly disappeared. In 2010, Brennan then opened Long Island’s first gluten-free bakery. She not only serves muffins and pastries, but the bakery also offers sandwiches and pizzas, all made gluten-free and in the bakery. One of their hot commodities is the ice cream bar, where they serve dairy free, egg free and vegan ice cream.

Jac’s Bakeshop & Bistro

600 S. Oyster Bay Road, Hicksville
516-931-8600

Jaclyn Messina, the owner of Jac’s Bakeshop, was diagnosed with Celiac disease about five years ago while she was studying at the Culinary Institute of America. However, she didn’t let the diagnosis hold her back from becoming what she set out to be. She began experimenting with non-wheat flours and eventually came up with a plan to open up her own cafe. That’s how Jac’s Bakeshop came into fruition and she strives to serve the gluten-free community. The cafe offers gluten-free pies, cookies, pastries, and bread. Jac's now takes online orders.
