In 2018, Gio had enough of watching his mom and wife struggle to find a decent gluten-free bread to eat. He’d spent years watching them settle for bland bread filled with gums, fillers, and cheap ingredients resulting in a loaf that was even less nutritious than standard breads.
The humble loaf of bread was once considered a health food but had now devolved into an overly-processed convenience food that leaves you feeling bloated and tired. Gio knew it was time to do something about it.
His mission? Whip up a loaf that everyone can enjoy and feel good about eating. To start from scratch to create a new outlook on what bread can be. So, he ditched all the fake stuff, went back to basics, and loaded each loaf with real, good-for-you ingredients that everyone can enjoy, regardless of allergies and food restrictions.
Once he had created a bread he was proud of, Gio brought on his best friend Tony to bring this life-changing bread to the market, so everyone could get their hands on his bread with benefits. Queen Street Bakery was born, and named for its comfort and familiarity, as nearly every Canadian town has a Queen Street to visit.
To this day, Gio and his family taste-test everything first, to make sure it hits the mark in both flavour and nutrition. Because we bake for all, and because everyone deserves the joy of great bread.
