I once visited The Little Mustard Seed Cafe and Bake Shoppe as part of my Top 10 Michigan gluten-free restaurant search. Everything about Little Mustard Seed Cafe is quaint. The small downtown area they are located in is adorable. The decor in their shop is whimsical. The food is delicious and the staff are superb. Even those without dietary restrictions flock here frequently. Why? Because it's simply that good! You can read more about their story here. Kathy Cox, the owner, briefly shared about their gluten-free practices as part of the Michigan's Best GF baker tour. 1. What inspired you to become a baker? Why the focus on gluten-free? My daughter is gluten, dairy, corn and soy allergic. We couldn't find any place to take her to eat, so we decided to create a place where she could eat freely! 2. Are there other highlights of your products? Dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, etc? We are 100% organic and all natural. We are peanut-free. We have multiple other other allergy friendly items. We make everything from scratch and use sprouted, whole grain flours.

3. What steps do you take to insure that your products are truly gluten-free? We are a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility Simply put, we don't allow gluten in our shoppe. We only purchase certified gluten free ingredients. 4 Do you have any stories of customers who reported back to you how important your products have been in their life? A TON!!!!! There are almost 20 5 star ratings on our Facebook page. We are the only place that many of our gluten free customers feel safe eating at.
