ABOUT US


The Tea on Sweet Crimes: Your  Gluten-Free Obsession

Let’s be real: gluten-free used to be associated with more basic flavor profiles. But at Sweet Crimes, we decided that was a literal crime. Why should your taste buds have to settle just because you're skipping the gluten?

We’re a 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery near me (well, near you, if you’re in the DC, Maryland, or Virginia area!) and we are on a mission to make celiac-safe treats that actually vibe with your soul.

How it Started (The Origin Story)

Our founder, Keri Lijinsky, started this whole movement because she was tired of sad, crumbly snacks after discovering her own gluten intolerance. She took her love for baking and travel, mixed it with a little bit of "I can do better than this" energy, and perfected recipes for gluten free baked goods that are—dare we say—better than the original.

Why We’re Different

We don’t just "do" gluten-free; we obsess over it. From our small-batch kitchen in Washington, D.C., we’re handcrafting everything from artisan breads to vegan donuts.

  • Zero Compromise: If it’s not flavorful and creative, it doesn’t leave the kitchen.

  • Safety First: We are a dedicated space, so you can snack on our celiac safe goods without the "is this safe?" stress.

  • Everywhere You Are: You can find our gluten free desserts at partner shops, online, or powering the menus of your favorite local restaurants.


The Sweet Crimes Vibe

At Sweet Crimes, we don’t just bake—we stage a delicious getaway from boring snacks! Quality, teamwork, and top-notch service are the "secret sauce" in everything we do. Every cake and dessert is handcrafted with a whole lot of love and zero gluten, so every bite is a total crowd-pleaser and 100% safe.


As your favorite wholesale gluten free food distributor, we’re on a mission to keep life sweet for everyday shoppers, wholesale partners, and catering services. We provide handcrafted gluten-free breads and desserts for retail, the coolest spots in town, restaurants, and bulk orders. Whether you need a massive spread for a huge event or just a little something to treat yourself, our baked goods deliver big flavor without any compromise.


From gifting a loved one to catering a party, Sweet Crimes Bakery makes every occasion taste like a celebration!
