Greetings!,
More new products this week!
-Gluten-Free Bagels from Sweet Note Bakery of Philadelphia: Featured last weekend in the Philadelphia Inquirer, these gluten-free bagels hand-crafted in Manayunk caught my eye. Touted by the bakery as, "the only gluten-free bagel that tastes like a bagel," I was intrigued. I was also impressed that this bakery (founded in 2012) is operated by three 20-something women, and their business is really taking off. Their first customer, Philadelphia's Green Line Cafe, ordered 3 bagels to start, but now order 5 cases a week and the bakery is now producing 5,000 bagels every week.They're even selling their bagels in New York (the ultimate tough customer for bagels!). See the article below for more...
-Ancient Grains Linguine from Vera Pasta of West Chester: Chef Joe from Vera Pasta tells me that this Linguine made from kamut, an ancient relative of durum wheat, is a great seller for him. Kamut is significantly higher in protein than regular wheat flour and has a somewhat sweet, buttery flavor.

Sweet Note Bakery
Philadelphia, PA
We're please to offer gluten-free bagels this week from Sweet Note Bakery. One of the great things about this Philadelphia company is that it's operated by three young women, and the founder/baker, Michelle MacDonald, has a wonderful story and mission that we'd like to share with you. Here it is in her words:
I've been baking for as long as my parents could trust me with an oven. I grew up watching my father and other role models in my life take the entrepreneurial leap and once I finished college I kept thinking "why can't I?". I came up with excuses to that question for another 6 years but then in 2012 I stopped doubting myself and came up with reasons why I COULD.
Since baking has always been my passion, when my grandfather & sister became diagnosed with Celiac Disease I knew this was where I could make a difference and start my entrepreneurial journey. The name Sweet Note came right to me- the idea of always starting and ending your day on a sweet/positive/optimistic note..as you can see sweet sounded the best.
In September 2012 the Sweet Note GLUTEN-FREE BAGEL was born! Why bagels? My family loves bagels, I love bagels, you love bagels and if you need to eat gluten-free you want a bagel that tastes good!
Sweet Note Bakery's vision is to make gluten-free options more accessible. I watch my families' struggles of trying to decide where to eat, whether to bring their own food out or even worse not eat gluten-free for that meal. It can be isolating to not be able to enjoy a meal out with friends and family. So I want to change that, one gluten-free bagel at a time.
