Baking a Better Future for Gluten-Free Bread.
ABOUT US
Meet the Baker.
Hey there! I’m Ryan Cave, founder of Good Friends Bakery and a proud New Hampshire transplant from Portland, OR.
My family and I were spoiled with amazing gluten-free options back home — dedicated bakeries, safe grocery staples, and trusted brands.
But whenever we traveled, it was a different story. Finding fresh, gluten-free food meant relying on granola bars and frozen aisle hopes.
The Light Bulb Moment.
When we moved, we kept ruling out places because they lacked fresh, safe staples. Then it hit us: What if, instead of avoiding these places, we helped fix the problem?
With multiple food allergies in my family — including Celiac Disease, dairy, egg, nuts, and melons — I knew firsthand how hard it was to find truly delicious, worry-free food. And we weren’t alone!
Our research confirmed that fresh, high-quality gluten-free bread was the biggest thing missing.
Four Years. Hundreds of Pounds of Flour. One Game-Changing Recipe.
We spent years perfecting the perfect crusty baguette, soft sandwich loaf, and sturdy burger bun — because gluten-free bread shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Now, we’re here to bring real bread to everyone, without compromise.
Our Good Friends Philosophy.
Good Friends Bakery isn’t about “gluten-free alternatives” — it’s about good food for everyone.
We believe bread should be shared, enjoyed, and loved — no restrictions, just great taste.
