Flakely Gluten-Free

Bakery$

Says critic Craig LaBan: Laminated dough is one of the hardest things to find in gluten-free form, but chef Lila Colello has found the secret at her Manayunk bakery, where customers clamor for frozen, bake-at-home trays of flaky mini-croissants stuffed with chocolate and savory variations filled with spinach and cheese, as well as danishes and pop tarts. Other popular items include cinnamon bun kits, and chocolate-dipped maritozzi stuffed with cream. Flakely’s kettle-boiled bagels are also notable — both crusty and chewy — and the best I’ve tasted outside of New York’s famed Modern Bread & Bagel.
