The Red Bandana Bakery

The Red Bandana Bakery is a bakery located at 8218 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 101, in Bethesda, Maryland. It offers a variety of pastries, cakes, breads, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all of which are gluten-free.

The bakery's story began with owner/operator Jaimie Mertz, who went to culinary school and later modified recipes to accommodate her autistic brother's gluten-free casein-free diet. This led to the creation of a totally gluten-free bakery that also serves other restricted diets.

The Red Bandana Bakery provides various services, including custom cake orders, breakfast and lunch, and gluten-free and vegan pastries. They also offer seasonal menus, special events, birthday parties, gluten-free baking and cooking classes, and event space rental.

Customers can place orders online, by call or text, or by email. The bakery also offers curbside pickup and delivery through various apps, including Grubhub, Postmates, DoorDash, and UberEats. To stay updated, customers can sign up for the bakery's email list.
