How It Started
Gifted Breads is a women- and minority-owned artisan bakery, and our journey is deeply personal. I’m Tathy, the founder of Gifted Breads. I started this business out of frustration after being diagnosed with celiac disease over 15 years ago. As someone who loves bread, I was constantly disappointed by gluten-free options that tasted more like cardboard than real bread. While the gluten-free market improved in many areas, bread remained an exception—especially one that could be enjoyed by everyone, not just those with dietary restrictions.
Gifted Breads is more than just a bakery—it’s a mission to bring people together through food, regardless of dietary needs. I know how isolating it can be when you’re the only one at the table with dietary restrictions, and I wanted to change that experience for others at home and in restaurants. I left my career as a lawyer and poured my heart into creating something better—real bread for people like me. No seed oils, no artificial preservatives—just simple, clean ingredients. I wanted to create something that my kids and I could enjoy every day. And we did it. We’re consistently working on new breads and allergen-friendly options to ensure everyone gets a seat at the table.
