PHILADELPHIA, PA — Flakely, a celebrated gluten-free bakery in Manayunk, has achieved national acclaim by securing a spot in the top-5 Best Gluten-Free Bakeries in the United States, according to USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Founded by Lila Colello, Flakely has become a beacon for the gluten-free community since its launch in 2021.
Colello, who has dedicated 15 years to perfecting her craft as a pastry chef, expressed her joy: “This award means the world to me…as a reminder that what we’re doing really matters to the community.” Driven by her own diagnosis with celiac disease, Colello aims to provide quality gluten-free options for those who love baked goods.
Flakely’s success extends beyond accolades, with the recent introduction of its innovative “pastry ATMs.” After launching the first vending machine at Salt & Vinegar in South Philadelphia, Colello is preparing to unveil a second at Free Will Collective in Ardmore this fall. Will Angelos from Free Will Collective shared his enthusiasm, saying, “We’re super excited to introduce Flakely’s new vending machine freezer…our customers can enjoy even more local delights.”
With these expansions, Flakely continues to enrich the culinary landscape for gluten-free enthusiasts while reinforcing its commitment to quality and community.
