Different Blend Bakery

I am so grateful to have found this Gluten free bakery while spending a few days in the Albany area. It’s such a little gem! I bought a bunch of different fresh baked goods and LOVED them all. Everything there was GF, which is amazing and unusual to find!!! No worries for cross contamination! I got a cherry pop tart… Amazing!!! A puffed pistachio cannoli (I think that’s what it was called)…to die for! A lemon raspberry cake (not sure of official name) and it was a slice of heaven! A key lime cheese cake… an explosion of flavor and love! They also have a freezer section of their baked goods like dinner rolls, focaccia bread, pie crusts… etc. since I was traveling I just bought a caramelized onion & rosemary focaccia bread. I haven’t tried that yet, but based on everything else I got there I’m sure it’s amazeballs!
The staff was super friendly and helpful too! The bakery is a pretty big space and a nice selection of fresh baked goods. I wish I bought one of everything! I will for sure be going back whenever I’m in the Albany area again!

Wife and I are not celiac, do not follow GF diet. Wanted to try a local guilderland bakery. We were seriously impressed. Mudslide brownie 6 pack were great. Brownie cheesecake was incredible. Mostly pastries/​desserts that are home made and available. Coffee available as well as more mainstream GF options for purchase. Great addition to the guilderland neighborhood!

if you did not know it was GF you could not tell baked goods as beautiful as can be and taste as good as they look !!

Ever since Greulich’s closed down, my family and I have been waiting to see what would happen with this space. When we heard that a gluten-​free bakery would be starting up here, we were very excited. As we passed by every day, watching the progress on the renovation, we became even more excited.
Today (10/​24/​2015) was opening day, and my daughter and I stopped in to check it out.
The two employees who helped us out could NOT have been friendlier. They were excited to be open, and from what they told us, in the four hours since they’d opened, things had been going very well.
They told us a bit about the building, and that they’re not the ONLY business that’s going to be there. They’ve basically got the front third for the bakery, but there will eventually be a fitness center/​gym located in the back, as well as something like a hair salon in the remaining space.
Even with just a third of the building, they’ve got a LOT of room. Right now, things feel a little sparse. They’ve got one display case/​counter near the front of the store, and a couple of shelves in the back, where they had some packaged cookies, some cereal, protein bars, and a cooler for cold drinks and juice. As time goes on, they may put in some seating, but for now, it’s take-​out only. Hey, one thing at a time.
The main counter is on the right as you walk in. That’s where they display their cakes, cupcakes, and macarons. We bought a few of each kind of cupcake they were offering — XXX Chocolate, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Pumpkin and Cream Cheese with Caramel, and Vanilla Cream Cheese with Caramel (they had just run out of the Vanilla Raspberry). I also grabbed some macarons and a coffee for the road (self-​serve). Checkout was simple. They’ve got a Square Reader, and I had my receipt texted to me.
This isn’t a muffins, bagels, or croissants kind of bakery (at least not during the first four hours of their existence). They do cakes. You can actually order specialty cakes from their website, which I’ll most likely be doing for my wife’s birthday next month.
Every single item I purchased was beautifully made, and delicious. I’m glad to have this place right in my neighborhood, and I’m looking forward to watching them grow.
