Founded by Alyssa Sobecki in 2019, The Difference Baker began as a response to her children’s food intolerances and the prevalence of life-threatening allergies. From its beginnings as a gluten, peanut, and soy-free bakery, it has since blossomed into a haven for those with a range of dietary restrictions, now proudly offering products free from fish, shellfish, sesame, and nuts.
With locations in Ashburn and George Washington University, inside the Nguyen Engineering Building, The Difference Baker ensures its delicious treats are accessible beyond Northern Virginia, shipping orders nationwide. Their menu boasts an impressive array of baked goods, from cookies and cupcakes to pastries and bread, with the Ashburn location even offering made-to-order donuts.
Beyond sweet treats, The Difference Baker caters to savory cravings with breakfast options like waffles, breakfast sandwiches, and bagels, as well as a lunch menu featuring sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza, and Strombolis. For special occasions, they excel in crafting custom cakes and other delights for weddings and events.
Despite its extensive list of allergen-free offerings, flavor is never compromised. Years of recipe perfection ensure that even those with food sensitivities can indulge without missing out on taste. The bakery prides itself on its exceptional team, comprising knowledgeable bakers and customer service personnel dedicated to providing the best experience possible.
Personal experiences at The Difference Baker are consistently positive, marked by warm greetings, smiles, and a desire to return. Whether catering to a slight intolerance or life-threatening allergies, or simply offering delicious food for everyone, The Difference Baker epitomizes inclusivity and culinary excellence. Alyssa Sobecki’s vision to make Northern Virginia a better place for many has transcended geographical boundaries, delighting customers nationwide with her worry-free recipes.
