Alina’s Cakes: New Bakery Opens In Westport with Gluten Free Treats!
Restaurant Opening Bakery Westport Custom Cakes Cakes Bread Shop Homepage
This just in from Dan Woog’s 06880.
In her native Romania, Alina Dancho often waited 2 hours in line, for half a loaf of bread. Now customers stand in line for her croissants, cookies, cakes, cupcakes and pastries.
And bread.
Alina’s Cakes & Cookies opened recently in the shopping plaza next to Fortuna’s, Greens Farms Spirit Shop, Gofer Ice Cream and Westport Cigar & Vape. It’s a tasty addition to those treats. It’s also the healthiest option.
95% of her bread is sourdough — an excellent, all-natural source of antioxidants and prebiotics.
Nearly all of her offerings are gluten-free. Her sugar and flour is non-GMO. She uses organic milk, and cage-free organic eggs. Some even come from the chickens she keeps.
“It’s not how much you eat. It’s what you eat,” Alina says, comparing the prevalence of food allergies in the US to Europe. She is adamant about the importance of avoiding pre-processed products like fillings and frostings.
“I want people to eat healthy breakfast foods and desserts, without allergic reactions and diabetes.”
