You may have had to give up gluten, but you don’t have to give up baked goods. A new gluten-free bakery opened Monday in Bend featuring breads, muffins, cakes and other goodies.

Gotta B Gluten Free, 215 N.W. Hill St., is located in the same complex as The Taco Stand. Owner Susan Walker said her goal is to offer food that provides the flavor and texture people enjoy without the gluten.

Her bakery specialties include chocolate-chip cookies with pecans, spiced-pumpkin muffins and chocolate cake with butter-cream frosting.

Next week, she will begin daily food specials such as butternut squash gnocchi, macaroni and cheese, and tortilla soup with jalapeno cornbread. The shop will offer several times a week a pizza kit, featuring a ready-made crust. Dash Espresso Bar will open inside the shop next week, which will be gluten-free as well.

All business in Gotta B Gluten Free is to go. Hours are 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
