Uncommon Grains

Shaker Square Farmer’s Market

Archived by Trisha 2/10/2020 – business closed

NOTE by Diane: Find Uncommon Grains at the Shaker Square Market and Coventry and Lee Road Phoenix Coffee Cafes.


I was surprised and very pleased to stumble upon the Uncommon Grains stand at the Wednesday farmers market at Cleveland Clinic Beachwood.  This new dedicated gluten free bakery made its debut today and has plans to sell at this market each week.

I decided to try a bit of everything and bought foccacia bread (my first since going GF 6 years ago!), a chocolate frosted chocolate cupcake, salted chocolate chocolate chip cookies, and a blueberry muffin.  Prices are as expected for GF baked goods.

Everything was delicious with a good texture and minimal crumble.  The blueberry muffin was especially noteworthy, reminding me of the blueberry muffins I so frequently baked years ago.
