Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Kosher Cakes on Lexington Avenue
A kosher bakery crafting gluten- and dairy-free treats that rival traditional baking in both flavor and texture.
Why this stop works ✨
By the Way Bakery works Lexington Avenue on the Upper East Side with a rare pitch, a kosher bakery where the gluten-free and dairy-free bakes hold up against the traditional stuff. The texture and flavor land close enough that most people would not clock the difference.
The daily case runs muffins, scones, cookies, and bread, all built to the same allergy-friendly standard. Where it really stands out is custom cakes, a collaborative service with responsive staff who work through detailed designs with you. Gluten-free, dairy-free cakes this close to the real thing are genuinely hard to find in the city.
At 4.5 stars across 458 reviews, the crowd that needs these options treats it as a lifeline, and everyone else just likes the bakes. Come in for a scone and a coffee, and plan a custom cake here when someone at the party has a dietary restriction.
