Kosher GF/DF bakery: brownies, cookies, cakes & mini bundts



























"This gluten-free and dairy-free bakery offers an entire array of kosher sweets, from small pastries to cakes, as well as a challah that is available in the shop on Fridays, or by custom order. While one’s mileage may vary on the gluten-free rugelach which sports a softer texture, By the Way’s menu has a number of standouts, including the mini apple bundt cake (a favorite on Rosh Hashanah), a surprisingly airy chocolate whoopie pie, and crusty, chewy almond cookies." - John Tsung


"Owner Helene Godin established this gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher haven in 2011. Standouts include the Amy cake, a mini confetti bundt cake, and the decadent chocolate fudge cookies, which have a crunchy outer crust and chewy center. The bakery also makes custom cakes and has another New York location on the UWS." - Eater Staff, Elizabeth Myong
