As consumers grow more conscious of what they eat, the bakery industry is undergoing a meaningful transformation. People are paying closer attention to ingredients, sourcing, and how their food makes them feel — and this has paved the way for a rise in gluten-free, plant-based, and allergen-friendly offerings. What once felt like a compromise for those with dietary restrictions is now being embraced by a much wider community seeking fresh, nourishing alternatives without sacrificing taste.
In this evolving landscape, Jackie’s — a gluten-free bakery nestled in the heart of Kemptthal — has carved out a unique and heartfelt space. With a focus on natural ingredients, artisanal methods, and a commitment to both health and indulgence, the bakery has become a quiet pioneer of what the future of baking can look like.
A Bakery That Bakes Differently
At Jackie’s, gluten-free is not just a label — it’s a craft. Every item is made fresh, from scratch, using self-developed recipes and in-house flour blends. The team doesn’t rely on shortcuts or standard gluten-free mixes; instead, they bring innovation and intention to every batch, ensuring quality, texture, and taste go hand in hand. Whether it’s lactose-free, partly vegan, or organic, each product reflects a thoughtful approach to modern dietary needs.
Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of 18 bakers and staff members work with care and creativity, constantly developing new treats and improving existing favorites. It’s a small-scale operation with a big heart — one that proves gluten-free baking can be just as exciting, diverse, and satisfying as its conventional counterpart.
Where Freshness Meets Convenience
Jackie’s shop is located in the “Valley” in Kemptthal, at Kemptpark 13, and offers a mix of freshness and flexibility. Customers can choose from a wide range of frozen baked goods, ideal for keeping delicious options on hand at home. For those craving something sweet in the moment, freshly baked pastries are available daily.
The bakery also celebrates what it calls “Brottage” — special bread days when oven-fresh loaves are available for walk-in customers. These days and their featured varieties are announced via newsletter, allowing regulars to stay connected with what’s coming out of the oven next. It’s a rhythm that brings the community back to the joy of fresh, real bread — even without gluten.
A Short Pause, Then Back to Baking Joy
From Monday, July 21 to Thursday, August 14, 2025, Jackie’s will take a short summer break. It’s a time for rest and recharging — before the team returns on Friday, August 15 with the same warmth, energy, and dedication their customers have come to love. The break also reflects the brand’s human-centered values: balance, care, and a deep respect for the people behind the products.
As the demand for mindful, high-quality food continues to rise, bakeries like Jackie’s are helping lead the way. They’re not just offering alternatives — they’re redefining what baked goods can be, one careful creation at a time.
