About - Outside the Breadbox

Baking Wholesome Goodness Since 1984

Our head bakers started experimenting with gluten-free recipes in 1984 to support family dietary restrictions, and pretty soon we got really excited about rising to the challenge of home-baked goodness without the gluten. Since our early days in the kitchen, it has been our passion to experiment with clean ingredients to create allergen-free combinations that delight with uncompromised taste. After much encouragement from family and friends who started eating gluten-free by choice, we opened up our bakery to the public in 2003, making ours the first gluten-free commercial bakery in Colorado!

Today, we remain a family-owned business, operated out of our gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free bakery located in Old Colorado City, Colorado Springs. We supply fresh baked goods to local and regional grocery stores, select restaurants, through mail order, and directly to customers at our Old Colorado City storefront. While we are known for our fresh, local products, in 2019 we expanded our distribution to the south-central region by employing a rapid freezing technique that keeps cell structure and flavor intact, and we are continuing to expand our footprint of availability.

In 2020, we launched our online store to offer added flexibility and shop-from-home convenience to our customers. We will be working on expanding our online selection in the coming months. In the meantime, if you are not finding the product you want, we are still taking orders via phone and email. Please visit our Where to Buy page for a full list of the products we ship.

We are proud of our expanding product line, which includes delicious gluten-free, vegan, glyphosate-free, non-GMO breads and bagels, as well as cookies, crackers, pies, and pizzas. And while we are excited to offer you more and more choices, each recipe must pass our discerning taste tests before we roll out a new product under the Outside The Breadbox name. We believe this commitment to quality will continue to win loyal customers.

We appreciate your loyalty, and as we grow, our family remains dedicated to delivering only wholesome, delicious products to your table.

What Customers Are Saying

“Outside The Breadbox’s customer service is top-notch and their products are really great. They’re so allergy friendly. We have people who come in with 18, 19, 20 allergies and they knock them all out. It’s really great when we can say ‘Actually, we have something that you can eat!’”

“We love the taste and the texture of the products at Outside The Breadbox so much. I like going to a place where I know they’re baking it in the back, and they carry our favorite products. Their teff bread is our go-to sandwich bread!"

All gluten-free breads are not created equal. We miss Outside The Breadbox when we travel—their products taste great, the texture is better than any we’ve tried, and the freshness is a draw. Plus their staff is a pleasure to deal with.”
