New Gluten-Free Bakery Now Open In Downtown Bethesda: Report

BETHESDA, MD — A new gluten-free bakery has opened in downtown Bethesda.

Josephine Gluten-Free Bakery, at 4927-A St. Elmo Avenue, offers a wide range of gluten-free products, Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row reported Sunday.

The bakery, owned by Jean Charles, is named after his daughter, Josephine. Charles, who is from France, decided to open a gluten-free bakery because of his wife's gluten intolerance, according to the bakery's website.

"Jean Charles’s previous experience working as a store manager in a bakery led him to question why it was so difficult to find tasty fresh treats to-go for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity," the website says. "This is why JOSEPHINE GF engages and focuses on building a warm and welcoming place that offers tasty delicacies for the gluten-free community and beyond."
