About Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro

For a professional baker, being diagnosed with the double whammy of celiac disease and an egg allergy might seem to spell doom. Instead of making a career change, Jac Messina threw herself into years of culinary experimentation until she had enough gluten-free recipes to fill an extensive menu of sweets and savories.

While she was at it, Messina cut out refined sugars and grains as well, and assembled a pantry of ingredients that were 80% organic. The result is an extraordinarily health-minded cafe. At Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro, days start with the aroma of bacon-cheddar waffles and quiche and continue with sandwiches available on 7 different kinds of gluten-free bread. And, of course, there's plenty for dessert: muffins, vegan pies, and chocolate-mudslide cookies, just to name a few.
