I have a lot of food sensitivities and love the zucchini millet bread. I never had a problem ordering it until recently when I received the bread very late and moldy. I contacted Deland and they assured me that they would refund my ordernothing. I reached out several more times over a month and a half. They wont respond back or refund me.

Best place to go for gluten-free bread, pastas, etc. The bread is made with millet flour and baked fresh on site. Their millet bagels are delicious!! Thank you, Deland Bakery!!

Absolutely love this bread! I use to live in Florida and could find it easily at Whole Foods or Publix, then I moved to North Carolina and its not as easy to find. That didn't stop me though, I now order the bread online and have it shipped. Some of my favorites are the special millet and the Millet garlic. and onion bagels. I only wish they would make a millet rye but for now I can't say enough about this awesome bakery that uses primo ingredients!

Deland makes the only bread I can safely eat. Their Millet Zucchini has been a lifesaver for me. I order exclusively from them and have it shipped directly. Thank you for your vision, and providing this quality product for someone such as myself.

Deland Bakery has been my bakery of choice for several years. I was introduced to the Deland products at Natures Food Patch in Clearwater FL. I have a sensitivity to gluten and your products with no gluten ingredients and no oil work well for me. As a snowbird I am very thankful for the availability of shipping to my northern address. So thank you to the people at Deland who make this possible.

Great Product! Love Love Love the oatmeal bread. We always make a big order and have share this yummy bread with our loved ones. Wish they had it here in NJ/NY would make it easier to buy it without paying so much for shipping. Overall Its a healthy delicious choice for my family!
