Native Bread

I stumbled upon this bread shop recently and was so happy to have found it! If you have an opportunity to talk to the owner and hear their story, it speaks to their intentional purpose in their products and facility. We tried two different types of bread that were available that day which were both great with soups for dipping, or made into some sandwiches with your favorite toppings (go early! It's that good! Or order ahead!). The bread was fresh and delicious! We are thankful for all that you do, and look forward to seeing you next time 🫶✌️

Besides occasionally having their sourdough loaf (which is good), the only other thing I can remember having is the chocolate chip cookie, but that in itself is worth the 5 stars. It is better than glutenified chocolate chip cookies. Honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. If I see it at a coffee shop I will buy one.

Omg Native Bread! Thank you for making my gluten free life more enjoyable! From the farmers market to the store front, I’m always greeted with a friendly smile and amazing free smells of baked goods :)

I’ve been a loyal customer at both the storefront and various cafes/market pop-ups, and I truly can’t say enough good things about this bakery!! The baked goods are consistent and delicious, the staff is always welcoming, and the owner clearly pours so much love and care into what she does. It’s evident that this is a business built on integrity and community. As someone with allergies to all of the top 9 allergens, finding a place like this feels nothing short of a blessing. Being able to enjoy treats without fear and with full confidence in their ingredients is rare and incredibly meaningful. What makes it even more special is knowing that this business stands firmly for what’s right. It’s powerful to see a small business lead with both heart and purpose. If you haven’t been yet, please do yourself a favor and go, you won’t regret it!!

This was my first time visiting the in-person location after buying some loaves at my local orchard. I didn't know they had a physical location that sold baked goods and pastries. I just got some of the July baked goods and I am not kidding when I say these were the best baked goods I've had in years. The blueberry scone is the best baked good I've ever eaten. I will for sure come back! 10/5

Native Bread has excellent products and customer service! I had the sourdough loaf and the roasted garlic and rosemary bread delivered to Wisconsin. I appreciate that the bread is vegan and gluten free and also affordable! Finding bread that meets my dietary restrictions is difficult, so I am happy that this place does delivery. There was an issue with shipping one of the loaves, but the owner negotiated a great service recovery with me. The bread was so soft and flavorful! I ate the roasted garlic and rosemary bread with olive oil, and it tasted like it was from a restaurant! I am so pleased with my experience and will definitely buy more from this company.

Got the gluten free sourdough loaf and it was pretty good! A bit pricey ($13) for the loaf but will support local artisans. I wish they had a bread slicer tho! Most places will slice the bread for you. For such a big kitchen it might be worth the investment :) I went to the store on a Saturday at noon and they were basically sold out and everything was made the day before, so if you want fresh bread better to order ahead.

If you are gluten free you have no excuse not to visit this gem. I repeat- go here- buy it all! The bread and cookies are to die for! I’m gluten and dairy free and they had endless options! The whole kitchen is gluten free!

First time visiting because of the App Too Good To Go. It did not disappoint. The shop was adorable, people friendly, and the bag of goods were AMAZING l!

I was pleasantly surprised by finding this little gem in the city! Great pastries, the owner is such a sweet person. She took the time to talk to us. Shop is very clean and the smell is just fantastic! Highly recommended

With the exception of honey in a few of their bread options, everything else is vegan. Be sure to ask when/if in honey doubt. I tried a Sea Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie and a Thumbprint cookie. I couldn't believe how good they were. Vegan AND gluten-free?!! Too many times places' gluten-free options fail to measure up to my tastes. Not here. They have mastered the culinary art of creating delicious, soft, moist baked goods; and not that earthy/gritty typical gluten-free taste and consistency. Kudos to them! Their storefront is only open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Go early to grab your favorites!

I became a sourdough bread snob after living in the San Francisco Bay Area for years. In the beachside town I lived in, folks who have lived there for generations eat sourdough as a staple of their diet and even their Thanksgiving feast, which forgoes turkey for fresh-from-the-ocean Dungeness crab, drawn butter, and a just-baked boule of San Francisco sourdough. Unfortunately, I had to cut out gluten recently and have been on a mission to find a halfway decent gluten-free sourdough ever since. I am a little embarrassed to say I had actual tears of joy in my eyes when I tried Native's sourdough bread served on a GF sandwich at a nearby brunch place in town (Rosies!) on a brief visit to Indy. I can confidently say it is the best GF sourdough bread I have found anywhere in the U.S. Rosies couldn't sell me a loaf to bring home and I was bummed I missed Native's bakery hours while I was in town, but I found out they ship! Truly the best find and I can't wait to try their other varieties too.

Since going gluten free, it has been great to have a go to gluten free bakery! Whether I grab a loaf at the Farmers market or their local store front, the staff has been kind, knowledgeable with delicious loaves

I adore Native Bread. I finally popped by their storefront and got to try their cookies and an apple galette. Both were delicious! I preferred the cookie, which surprised me, but it was really good! My mini BFF, though, was all about the apple filling in the galette. I also left with a refrigerated sourdough loaf. It was a bit dry (probably in part because it was an older loaf, hence the refrigerating), but excellent when I toasted it for sandwiches, as well as when I made some French toast. Looking forward to more trips and treats in the future!

I'm currently obsessed with making butter candles annnd you need bread for those! Ha! I was told Native was the best place to go for gluten free bread, and it did not disappoint. The baguette, was a favorite at both events I attended. The cheeseball spread in my tastebuds opinion isn't comparable to a "cheese"ball spread, however, it's a good spread, and I would definitely get it again. On my second visit I impulsively purchased flavored croutons(can't recall the flavor, but I'm sure they probably change it up), they were amazing! Paired well with my tomato bisque. If you're vegan or gluten-free add Native Bread to your list!

Say it with me: honey oat bread! It's soooo delicious while also being gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free and more. Hot tip: you can call ahead to reserve an item so they don't sell out by the time you get there. Other tip: throw in an Amazeball cheese spread with your order. They are a local biz that sells dairy-free cheese dips that are insanely good and come in flavors such as pizza or everything bagel. Yummmm!

We love this bread! We discovered this vegan gluten free, egg free, soy free, nut free etc etc bread a few years ago and have loved it since the first bite! It is amazing how tasty it is despite being both vegan and gluten free. We love their commitment to quality and the fact that they experiment with options for bread. Our go to is the Honey Oat, but we love their sourdough as well. You can find them at some stores, farmers markets and of course their brick and mortar store. This was my first visit to the Brock and mortar so I also got several cookies and a scone. My husband and I loved the cookies which weren't too sweet but just right in taste and texture. The scones were not to my taste as a bit dense and salty almost, but I think the cookies just tempt me more. Both though we're great purchases and I would get them again. If you are looking for bread options this is the best spot and we always want to have some in our frog or freezer. It goes well as sandwich bread, toasted and in various pairings as it holds up well even as a vegan French toast. Delicious, tasty, amazing and yummy! And the store was cute too!

It's the type of place that checks all the boxes, really though, Native Bread is like if you made a wish of all the things filled and complete. Native Bread is run, by Hayley, whom is just practically the sweetest most passionate person you've ever met. She's dedicated to creating a product that can serve the masses, gluten free (check), dairy free (check), nut free (check), etc...... tastes delicious (check check). She's been selling at the markets and lots of local shops for years and now she's finally got a place of her own. It's in a very interesting spot on the north side, but don't judge a book by it's cover. Once you enter the walls are clad with bright cheerful yellow tile, a smiling face to greet you, and the smell of fresh baked bread illuminates the air. It's a very cozy spot, so be prepared to pick up your bread and go. However the thing to know. She has several amazing breads. Sourdough, Honey Oat, Multi Seed, and Cinnamon raisin, available almost everywhere. The store front has a few more breads like her baguettes, garlic bread, and rye-not (similar to a rye). So head in and check it out! @twainindy

Gluten, Dairy, Egg, Soy, Corn , Nut, Sugar and Gum Free! Highlights: + Dedicated allergen kitchen + Limited store hours, currently only Thursday (10 am - 6pm ) and Saturday (10 am - 3 pm) + Some of the best gluten free bread I've ever had. It's GFCF++ bread that not only looks like bread, but tastes like bread. Gluten free breads, especially massed processed foods,typically have a grainy texture, taste like cardboard, and are high in sugar and salt content.Native Bread uses a mixture of flour and other ingredients that create a flavor full and filling experience. Plus, the bread stays in one piece and doesn't fall apart + Nice variety of bread offerings: seeded boule, honey oat, sourdough, cinnamon raisin Tip: **Go early in the day to make sure you get their freshly made baguette ** You can extend the life of the breads by placing it the freezer for up to three days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. That is if you don't eat it first.

As someone who is celiac and can't have dairy or eggs, this is the best bread and treats I've ever had. Even my husband who can have gluten and anything else loves everything here. Plus there aren't any inflammatory ingredients so really great to be able to eat some bread or a treat and still feel amazing! Everyone is also really kind every time I come in. My favorites right now are the rosemary garlic bread, cinnamon raisin bread and then galettes! Give it a try even if you're allergy free! I saw a review saying the bread molded fast, but my loaf's always last 2 weeks in the fridge. Also they said that it was "mealy" and "dense", I would recommend warming up a slice in the microwave for 15-25 seconds and it's the softest most delicious bread. Or simply toasting it! Highly, HIGHLY recommend native bread.

Delicious gluten free and dairy free options. Highly recommend the thumb-print cookie.

Native Bread has quickly become Indy's go-to for bread and a variety of some baked goods that are free from all common allergens, i.e. eggs, dairy, sugar, nuts, etc. They have a variety of options, savory and sweet. I have had the cinnamon raisin a few times as well as the sourdough and more. Each of them are dense and you're left wondering how the heck they're filled with such healthy ingredients and still taste so yummy. You might be immediately turned off by the price tag that comes with them, but you'll gain comfort in knowing that the bread lasts a very long time. I throw mine in the freezer and pull it out a day before I am going to consume it. You can also pre-cut them into slices as well for more daily uses. Another thing you'll notice is out dense the loaves are. Like, the heaviest breads I've ever had in my life lol. Again, you don't feel overly full when consuming them, partially because it's not full of junk that many store-bought breads have in them. You'll find them at farmers markets as well as at their storefront. If you want samples, they've got 'em so be sure to try them out before purchasing. If you're planning to purchase at a farmers market, get there sooner than later as they almost sell out at every market I've seen them at.

There's not many businesses that I can say have changed lives, but Native Bread is one of them. My mom has Celiac Disease and my wife is glutton sensitive, and this locally-owned bakery has provided them an opportunity to enjoy delicious bread. No words can say this enough. As a byproduct of seeing my mom a lot and living with my wife, I've been able to try their bread. It's so good! The sourdough is out of this world (my wife's fav), and as I am writing this I am looking at the garlic & rosemary bread that I'm super pumped to have a nibble of. My mom's constant is cinnamon raisin, but she loves them all. Also random, but so true, Native Bread's chocolate chip cookie is among the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. On behalf of my mom and my wife, thank you for making the bread you do. You're a mainstay in this family, and we are simply lucky to have you in our lives.

Full disclosure: I don't have any food allergies or self-restrictions when it comes to dining. (Calorie counting is my only limit.) So, while I appreciate that this new shop offers a variety of breads (including a sourdough baguette) to folks who are searching for a tasty source for their gluten free, or dairy free, or sugar free (the list goes on), I am rating them based upon how they compare to all other bakeries. So points for serving an under served corner of the market. The shop is located in a plaza on the southwest corner of Allisonville Road and 96th. There is plenty of parking and I like that there is a stoplight that allows you to have easy access back onto Allisonville. Inside, the shop has a small reception area where there is a seating area and a display/purchase counter. There were four types of bread (they had sold out of a fifth type) as well as the baguette. I kind of expected more items based upon some of the reviews, so that was a bit disappointing. The woman behind the counter said they are working on adding some more varieties including their take on a rye bread. The shop is only open on Thursdays and Saturdays, which has also caused me to cancel plans to stop by while in the area (it takes between 45-60 minutes to get here from my house.) The rest of the days, the staff is baking bread in the large area behind the counter. So, no immediate plans to expand the retail shop hours soon. And the bread itself? Well, because they are substituting so many ingredients, it isn't like bread you find at a lot of bakeries; especially like the breads you buy in a grocery. I'm not saying that is bad, but since they didn't have any free samples to try, we found both the seeded boule and the cinnamon raisin to be very dense and heavy. There is a lot of chew compared to other breads we purchase. The flavor was quite good which is why they are getting four stars from me. But for my wife who likes bread with a crispy outside and a soft and much lighter inside texture, she was disappointed. The loaves were selling for $9 each, so for us, having some free samples would have been helpful. The bakery is run by three women and we were greeted and provided information about the products and business. They even have a plaque that tells you how best to preserve your bread if you aren't consuming it in one day. So, overall, a good tasting bread which fills a niche in the bakery market is now available. If you really like bread, but have restrictions on what you can intake, this may be your favorite new place! Review #3311

OMG! Everything here is yummy! An awesome WOMAN owned business! Order ahead, and enjoy that amazing GF baked good!

BRAVO! First of all, who doesn't want to support small businesses and especially ran by women. I have been wanting to venture over to this shop for some time. The days they're open to the public must be kept in mind, but priorities people. You have to accept and respect non-chain businesses have select hours. I met the owner in person at the YELP BIZARRE and I absolutely adored her energy. She was so kind, and helpful. I was able to sample the various bread selections. I am non-dairy and my son is gluten free. So finding non frozen, fresh baked breads are almost impossible. The bread is delicious! But knowing what you're putting into your body is priority. I love that I can rely on a bread that is healthy for my family. So I finally made it into the business and I was welcomed by a sense of acceptance. People of color (POC) know what I'm referring to. *See pictures* It is refreshing and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you Native Bread. Tip: Rye-not was delicious with my chickpea tuna salad. The banquettes were amazing with homemade chicken noodle soup that I made for my children. The raisin loaf- what a treat! My new bakery for fresh bread!

Excellent baked goods free of major allergens! Get here early or place an order in advance as the products sell quickly. The chocolate chip cookies are incredible and there are a variety of types of bread available.

So many gluten free bread options! Baguette, cinnamon raisin, sourdough etc. even if you aren't gluten free like me their bread is delicious! The grand opening was so much fun! We got to try different crostini's with spicy tomato jam, cashew cheese from ezra's, almond butter...they were all so good I can't even tell you my favorite. I can't wait to keep coming here for sandwiches, crostini's, and even my morning avocado toast!

Sharing dinner in a vegan family, i want to compliment Native Bread! A great variety of gluten free products. The flavors and choices are artisanal! That said, Native Bread's should ALSO offer traditionally floured breads and products as well They have the staff that love what they do and a customer base that would support both gluten and gluten free best wishes for a successful business

Simply amazing. Second time going and learned it's best to get there right as they open. Staff is very kind and everything has been delicious. I've added Native Bread to my weekend shopping list.

THIS PLACE . I started a doctor-supervised elimination diet in order to determine any food insensitivity causing inflammation. Weeks without gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, sugar, corn, alcohol and caffeine had me searching Yelp for options. I stumbled upon Native Bread on a Saturday morning and immediately decided it would be my first stop during weekend errands. The place smelled heavenly. I purchased a cinnamon raisin loaf, garlic rosemary loaf and a baguette. My total came to almost $30, however, it was worth every penny. I can't decide which loaf is my favorIte. While denser than "regular bread" it definitely gave me my fix. I took the garlic rosemary to a dinner party and it was gobbled up. I highly recommend this place if you have any food allergies or insensitivity. We will be back next weekend!

I know people like Native Bread, and maybe it is a good gluten free vegan option, but it just doesn't hit my taste buds all that well. I tried the honey oat loaf. The bread is super dense, heavy, and has a mealy texture. It's edible, but I wouldn't describe it as "good bread". The loaf also molded quickly.

Great gluten-free breads and cookies! Not much room inside and only open a few days a week. Highly recommend ordering ahead once you know what you like or want to try.

When you have food allergies and sensitivities you give up on certain basic things in life.... bread was one of those for me. Store bought GF & DF bread tasted like nothing or sometimes cardboard. I was at the Carmel Farmer's Market one day (over a year ago) and walked by Native Bread booth and I of course doubted that this bread was going to be any different. Well after a taste and a few words that only a sailor would use... I bought a loaf and haven't stopped since. To make matters even better they branched out into the cookie making business and blew my socks off even more. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful business.

Fantastic baked goods! A family member is highly allergic to gluten and we all have absolutely loved everything we've bought from Native. I am not gluten free and think it's delicious. Our favorites include the Sourdough bread and the molasses cookies.

Gluten allergies are no fun. Native Bread brings back so much joy with their wonderful gluten free bread! I can eat sandwiches, French toast, and burgers again! That's right, Native Bread makes hamburger buns now too! If you have an allergy, you gotta try Native Bread. Even if you don't have an allergy, you may still want to try this! It's so good, you'll forget it's gluten free!

I have a friend with a lot of allergies so I stopped by here to find him some bread. AMAZING bread and pastries and fantastic service. The woman behind the counter was so kind and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Before we found native bread at a farmers market we bought so many taste like cardboard GF breads. Not anymore. You will enjoy a wide variety of so many types of gluten free dairy free allergen free breads and pastries and cookies & they're available at quite a few farmers markets, their own storefront at 96th and Allisonville and through market wagon and green bean delivery services. Try the lemon sugar cookies or buy a pint of the chocolate chip Cookie dough. You'll thank me!

The bread from Native Bread is one of the best gluten-free options I've found on the market. Locally-made and owned, they offer a decent variety of breads and buns for the gluten-free, dairy-free community. Plus, these homemade style artisan breads are delicious. I've tried every single kind except the Rye Not (mainly, because I was not a fan of rye before I was required to go gluten-free), but I have heard it is just as delicious as other gluten-rich rye breads. Overall, I am a huge fan of their products and they are becoming more and more available at local grocery stores (like Wildwood Market and Good Earth) as well as farmer's markets.

Bread in general is good, but Native Bread is unusually good. I'm stumped on WHAT they do to make it unlike any bread I've ever had. I first bought it at Trader's Point Creamery, it weighed a ton, was fairly expensive, but when I tried it I was blown away with the taste. Just delicious. I googled their name and found out that they supply bread to Patachou, and they are known for their yummy bread. Then Native Bread opened their own retail bakery -- yah! We bought 2 loaves of the white looking bread ... I don't even know what it's called exactly but anything we use it for (toast, sandwiches, grilled cheese, eggs, etc.) is awesome. Native Bread has some secret, but it's no secret that it's amazing super bread. It's worth the money, seriously. T R Y I T !!!

Native bread is INCREDIBLE!! Seriously, I am so thankful they have a bakery now. This is the best bread you will ever taste. Do it!

First time visit and I bought a GF Ginger Molasses cookie as well as the GF Pumpkin Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, loved them both. Also purchased one of the bread loaves with sundried tomatoes and really enjoyed it toasted. I will be back, so nice to have fresh baked goods that have DF and GF options!!

Native bread is THE gluten free bread everything else is...well...NOT Native. I have been buying it for quite some time through the Indy Food Co-Op and I was exited to learn that they had opened a store front. My Non-gluten-eating family members eat it too. It's just that good. They have several flavor options including cinnamon and a new rye as well as some seasonal versions but the honey oat is still my favorite. It's Mmmmm! I have a hard time not eating sandwiches and toast for every meal whenever I buy it. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Indy GF-ers rejoice! I rarely eat GF breads and sweets from the store. Texture feels off and/or taste is overly artificial. Native Bread, however, reminds me of homemade goodness and has me wanting to make a sandwich with their bread or bake some cookies with their cookie dough. The apple galettes remind me of homemade apple pie. All of their products have been delicious. Nothing funky (not to mention gf baking is difficult), just wholesome baking. And, very friendly staff!

BEST Gluten-Free Sourdough Bread on the planet!!!! Prior to my Celiac diagnosis (over 25 years ago) I used to bread shipped from Boudins at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, CA. My non gluten-free husband prefers theirs over Boudins. I picked up 2 loaves at one of their distribution sites (The Loft Creamery Store at Traders Point) after work tonight. Insider Info: They always deliver fresh on Tuesday for you Northwest dwellers. ALL of their breads are delish, I just like the Sourdough the best having gone without for 24 years before I discovered their product. I also noticed they are on MANY menus throughout Indianapolis (and surrounding suburbs).

If I could give 0 stars I would. Bought the sourdough bread this weekend, it was absolutely awful. I tried it a couple times and the longer it was in my mouth the worse it tasted. I can't believe anyone could put that product out for sale. It's not just bad for sourdough, it's bad for anything, cardboard would be better.
