Local Gluten-Free Bakery Flakely to Open Walk-In Storefront in Bryn Mawr
Flakely Gluten Free, a beloved bakery known for its convenient "pastry ATMs" that dispense freshly baked goods 24/7, is making the move from Manayunk to Bryn Mawr. The popular bakery, founded by Lila Colello after her diagnosis with celiac disease in 2011, is trading in its small production kitchen for a spacious storefront at 1007 Lancaster Ave.
The change marks the end of Flakely's four-year run on Krams Street, where Colello has been perfecting her gluten-free recipes and selling them from a takeout window with limited hours. To accommodate growing demand, the bakery will be opening its fourth pastry ATM in Roxborough, but the one in Fishtown is relocating to Reap Wellness.
Flakely's new Bryn Mawr location promises to serve up an array of freshly baked pastries, bagels, and French-style breads, all crafted with love by Colello herself. The bakery plans to host classes, pop-up dinners, and gluten-free baking collaborations to bring the community together.
The concept behind Flakely's pastry ATMs has been a game-changer for those with dietary restrictions. By utilizing smart freezers that dispense goods 24/7, customers can easily grab what they need on the go. The ATMs also provide a convenient solution for restaurants and businesses looking to offer gluten-free options.
But Colello's commitment to the gluten-free community goes beyond just selling baked goods. As an advocate for those living with celiac disease, she has become a vocal leader in the industry, pushing for greater representation and quality in gluten-free products. Her passion project has taken her national, with Flakely shipping bake-to-order goods across the country.
The new Bryn Mawr location will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, offering customers a chance to experience Colello's renowned baked goods in person.
