Are you trying to live gluten free in the Culver City, California area? Whether you live there or are traveling nearby, one place you will want to check out is the Sensitive Baker, located at 10836 1/2 Washington Blvd.
According to a recent review at Whole Life Times, it looks like you can find a gluten free version of just about everything here:
Located in Culver City, the Sensitive Baker has been serving gluten- and dairy-free baked goods for over a year with a menu that reads like the grocery list I’ve done without for years: classic-style bagels, hamburger buns, chocolate zucchini muffins, cupcakes with non-dairy buttercream or cocoa-cream frosting — everything that was previously off-limits to allergic types such as myself has suddenly become edible courtesy of Baker’s owner, Sandee Hier.
“I was never really a baker, per se, but my husband and kids developed a gluten intolerance,” Hier recalls. On top of that, her husband’s father has celiac disease and lactose intolerance, making it nearly impossible to find products for him to eat considering a lot of gluten-free products replace protein with milk. “I learned how to bake out of necessity so I could make things for them to eat, and then I would make things for friends who were gluten intolerant.” Hier’s friends and family suggested she start a business around it, et voila! The Sensitive Baker was born.
But what’s kept it going is the quality of the product. Because gluten-free bread quickly stales, everything in the bakery is super fresh — and better yet, it tastes that way. The pizza — which comes in a handy personal size — is both crisp and chewy like good pizza should be. But when blended with the combination of tomato sauce and the non-dairy “cheese” made from cashews, it’s absolute heaven. “The cheese isn’t like mozzarella,” Hier notes, “but it’s so good in its own right that people who don’t have that comparative expectation really find it amazing.” They also make a mean mac ‘n cheese.
