Pembroke Bakery Brings Gluten-Free Delights to Randolph, Vermont
RANDOLPH, Vt. (WCAX) – Pembroke Bakery, a home-based bakery in Randolph, is delighting locals with its delicious array of gluten-free treats. Co-owner Courtney Gately, who has been baking since childhood, transforms the traditional chocolate chip cookie into something extraordinary, highlighting her passion for creating happiness through baked goods.
After moving to Vermont with her husband Tyler, the couple received overwhelming encouragement from the community to turn Courtney’s baking hobby into a business. "The universe is telling us something," Courtney remarked, sharing how the supportive environment inspired them to take the leap into entrepreneurship.
Pembroke Bakery specializes in gluten-free confections that challenge the stereotype of bland gluten-free options. With creative flavors like salted toffee chocolate chip and brown butter cardamom pumpkin, the bakery aims to showcase that gluten-free baked goods can be both delicious and exciting. Courtney, who follows a gluten-sensitive diet, recognizes the gap in the market and is determined to prove that gluten-free doesn’t mean flavorless.
The bakery has quickly gained popularity, with approximately half of its clientele being non-gluten-free. Tyler notes the joy when non-gluten-free customers are shocked by how good the treats taste, helping to reshape perceptions of gluten-free products.
Currently operating from their home, Pembroke Bakery is preparing for an expansion into a commercial kitchen at First Branch Coffee in South Royalton. Meanwhile, customers can indulge in Pembroke’s offerings both online and at various local retailers, all while enjoying a boost of happiness from every bite. As Courtney says, "You’re in the happiness business."
With their commitment to quality and community, Pembroke Bakery is poised to brighten many more days with their scrumptious creations.
