7 Grain Army

"Bakery and cafe 7 Grain Army closed on October 27; the gluten-free spot tried to renegotiate an expensive lease, they told Greenpointers, and also started a GoFundMe to raise money for wholesale and mail-orders. Co-owner Matthew Tilden previously ran Scratchbread in Bed-Stuy." - Melissa McCart

"7 Grain Army should be considered a holy place for people looking for gluten-free baked goods. All of the muffins, coffee cakes, and sandwiches at this Williamsburg bakery are made with grains like fonio and quinoa. Their coffee cake has the consistency of a Twinkie, and the blueberry muffin filled with sweet cranberry jam is a regular guest star in our food dreams. The small shop on Roebling Street closes by 3pm, and we highly recommend coming early to try everything while it’s fresh out of the oven." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine

"The gluten-free, grain-obsessive shop, from baker Matthew Tilden of Scratchbread fame, is aiming to avoid the cakey, sugary stereotypes that are usually attached to the breakfast pastry. Make sure to grab at least one lemon millet muffin, infused with lemon zest and crusted with toasted millet, and a blueberry oat number that comes loaded up in the middle with juicy, jammy blueberries." - Eater Staff
