We do have Freedom Bakery (Woburn, MA) doughnuts available which are gluten, soy, dairy, and nut free. These come to us fresh frozen and served pre-packaged so we can say they are 100% safe.
Unfortunately, all of our raw ingredients state that they could have been processed at the same plant as peanuts and tree nuts. We don’t have any peanut doughnut toppings but do have tree nut toppings; both coconut and buttercrunch. (toasted coconut)
We do use peanut butter for our doggy doughnuts and portion sides of peanut butter for guests within our kitchen work spaces. Everything is of course washed and sanitized after every use. We do train our employees about allergies and cross-contamination, but it is impossible for us to guarantee 100% safety.
Our 100% guaranteed product consists of a pre-packaged doughnuts from Freedom Bakery that are peanut, tree nut, soy, dairy, and gluten free. We carry chocolate sugar & plain sugar. They are a great alternative for those with allergies. They come to us fresh frozen and packaged. You will need to ask for Freedom Bakery’s doughnuts, as our other independent gluten free bakery, Daniella’s Dandies, is not nut free.
- We do! We carry individually packaged gluten free doughnuts, whoopie pies, and various pastries from Daniella Dandies based out of Stoneham, MA.
- We also carry Freedom Bakery doughnuts which are free of gluten, nuts, dairy, and soy. They are out of Woburn, MA. We carry plain sugar and chocolate sugar. They are froze fresh and served prepackaged so that they will not be contaminated.
- We also carry gluten sensitive English muffins for sandwiches, these come to us gluten free however we toast them in the same toaster as gluten items, making them gluten sensitive and not gluten free. Since we have a lot of employees, many young, we don’t feel that we could ever have a gluten free toaster/utensils that we feel confident saying it has never touched gluten.
Congdon’s doughnuts use and has always used lard to cook our doughnuts. This is why our treats taste just like Grandma used to make. We know that this is not for everyone. If someone in your party is Vegan, Vegetarian, or doesn’t prefer animal fats please try our two doughnut options from Daniella’s Dandies and Freedom Bakeries. (Both bakeries out of MA) These come fresh frozen to us and prepackaged as they are also free of some allergens (see question on allergens for more details) but a great alternative for this purpose as well.
