After spending three plus years living without gluten, I had resigned myself to a life with sub-optimal bread. But this summer in Brittany I had a 100% purple buckwheat bread that was nothing short of a miracle. On returning to Berlin, I stumbled onto a sign for a gluten-free organic bakery opening soon on Schönhauser Allee. It would be hard to be impartial.Luckily they did not disappoint. Jute Bäckerei have mastered some darn good bread. Using alternative flours in combination such as chestnut, buckwheat and teff with rice, potato and corn, the breads and rolls they are baking daily do not even need a GF logo: they can compete with wheat bread any day. The staff are helpful and friendly and they seem to have a real passion for creating new unique products. Our breakfast table mostly sees the “Felix” and “Moritz”.
