Saltwater's Story

“How one mom’s search to help her daughter grew into a sweet new gluten-free bakery in Pacifica.

​

Tawnya Marsh, founder of Pacifica’s Saltwater Bakery, says the name is no coincidence— she’s poured a lot of sweat and tears into opening the bakery, which, on clear days, offers vistas of the ocean from its Palmetto Avenue storefront.

​

She also started her business in Pacifica because she noticed the dearth of gluten-free options in town, she says. For gluten-free families, she notes, visiting traditional bakeries isn’t much fun, since kids can usually only pick from one or two of the offerings.

“I think when you’re gluten-free, you seek stuff out,” she says, noting that she used to drive 45 minutes to a bakery to give her daughter the chance to pick from a full shelf of gluten-free pastry options.

​

At her bakery, she says, 'I get to see parents do that with their kids now.'"
