Baking for all to enjoy
We whip up fresh, fun treats that are gluten-free and wheat-free, with vegan options too. From gooey brownie cookies to fully gluten-free sourdough loaves, every bite is made from scratch.
Meet Lou & Nessa
In 2024, I (Marylou) was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and went gluten-free. I tried, and failed, more times than I can count to bake my own gluten-free bread.
That's when my wife, Vanessa stepped in. With a background as a cancer research scientist at Johns Hopkins, she brought the same precision and care to the kitchen that she'd bring to any lab. Testing, adjusting, testing again. Until she created a gluten-free sourdough loaf that actually tasted like sourdough. She did it out of love, because she wanted me to have bread again.
The rest is history. LouNessa's was born from that first loaf, a reminder that going gluten-free doesn't mean giving up the food you love. Now we're here, ready to share it with our community!

Our Mission
Our mission is to bring gluten-free sourdough pastries and sweet treats to Tulare County. We're LouNessa's Gluten-Free Bakery, family-owned and started by us, Marylou and Vanessa.
Everything is baked from scratch, no shortcuts. We're 100% gluten-free and wheat-free, with no wheat and no wheat starches, just real gluten-free sourdough made with care. Vanessa brings a scientist's precision to every recipe, so every bite is as good as the last.
We know firsthand how hard it can be to find baked goods that fit your needs without sacrificing flavor. That's why we wanted to create treats that more people in our community can enjoy together, with vegan options too.
