Gluten Free on the Oregon Coast

Recently, my family and I took a road trip to the beautiful Oregon Coast. I did a little research before the trip, as I always do to see what options come up in our various destinations that will have gluten free menus or gluten free options. I found some great places!

Most people have had the luxury of walking into a bagel shop or coffee shop, ordering a bagel and a delicious coffee. I have never done that, but always been jealous about. When I was diagnosed, I was really much younger than most people probably start going to coffee shops with their buddies. Plus, at that time, a gluten free bagel, was a joke. I don't think anyone had even considered it at the time. So, I thought it would be something I would never experience. Not the case!!! A bakery located in Portland, Oregon is a dedicated gluten free bakery and delicious gluten free bagels and amazing coffee! It was such a treat! If you live in Portland or a visiting soon, treat yourself to some goodies at New Cascadia Bakery. I had a poppyseed bagel with cream cheese and a vanilla latte that I now daydream about.
They don't ship yet, but they are considering it and I really hope it happens soon!!


Another favorite find on our trip was in Newport, Oregon. Its a delicious little place called Nye Beach Market. They had amazing breakfast and I even ended up going back for lunch! The best part? They have absolutely delicious gluten free clam chowder! It's incredible and truly a wonderful find! Plus, they are incredibly friendly and helpful!
