Gluten-Free in Milford, PA: Pastries & Treats Done Right
Eating gluten-free in a small town can feel like a scavenger hunt. Menus offer one sad option, or none at all. At BetterWorld in Milford, PA, we took a different approach: most of our pastries are baked celiac-friendly from the start — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how we do things.
Widest range of Gluten-Free options in the Poconos
We bake fresh everyday to give you something most celiacs miss out on: choice. Muffins, cookies, chicken pies, parfaits, cakes, slices, parfaits, and all manner of goodies you’d usually have to walk past at a french patisserie, including a few GF vegan options, even GF sourdough bread. And we make them so well the gluten-lovers don’t even notice that their gluten free. Nobody misses out on their treats here.
Why we skip the wheat
We bake without wheat flour for most of our pastries, and not only for guests with gluten allergies or sensitivities. Here’s our thinking: unless it’s freshly milled right before baking, wheat flour has very little nutritional value and tends to trigger an inflammatory response in a lot of people. So we leave it out where we can and bake with organic, wholesome ingredients instead. The result is a display case of treats you can actually feel good about eating. (One important note: our pastries contain nuts, so please let us know about allergies before you order.)
More than just the baked goods
Being gluten-conscious isn’t only about pastries — it’s about the whole experience. Pair your treat with an organic coffee from our Aussie-style espresso bar (with the cleanest whole-food ingredients around), or keep it light with a fresh-pressed juice or an açaí bowl from our juice bar two doors down. And if you’re stocking your own kitchen, our health food store carries organic and wholesome pantry goods, sourced as locally as we can manage — a genuine resource for anyone eating clean in the Milford area.
Baking with a bigger mission
Everything we make ties back to why BetterWorld exists. We support local growers, pay our team fair wages, choose glass over plastic wherever possible, and put our profits toward saving the local Santos Farm from becoming a gas station and strip mall. So your gluten-free morning treat is also a small vote for a healthier, more local food system.
