Gluten-Free Bakery Opens In Gateway Shopping Center, Tredyffrin

TREDYFFRIN, PA — – Just before Christmas, Jennifer Eagland stopped in the The Happy Mixer in Gateway Shopping Center to pick up three-dozen freshly gluten-free baked cookies and donuts for her family.

The Happy Mixer opened on Dec. 10 at the Gateway Shopping Center in Tredyffrin Township, providing cookies, cakes, muffins, and more, all freshly baked daily, just in time for the holidays.

“This is a godsend,” she said, as she was shopping for special treats for her husband and son, who are allergic to gluten.

Eagland of Lafayette Hills, Montgomery County, works in the area, and was overjoyed to pick up the gluten-free treats for her family.

Tim Mourer and his wife, Lisa, opened thee couple's third bakery in Tredyffrin at the request of longtime customers at their Bucks County bakeries who requested that a gluten-free bakery open on the Main Line.

In 2013, the couple opened the first Happy Mixer in Chalfont, Bucks County, and the second opened in 2017 in Newtown, Bucks County.

Some customers would drive an hour or more to get the tasty freshly-baked, gluten-free desserts.

Lisa Mourer said she put out a survey asking customers where they would like to see the bakery open.

“They said, ‘the Main Line’,” she said, as the bakery was filling up with customers on a recent morning.

Customers raved about the tasty cakes and donuts, saying you would not know the difference between the gluten-free and traditional cakes and cookies.

That’s because Tim Mourer spent years perfecting the recipes to perfect the ingredients to provide tasty cakes for customers who are allergic to gluten.

Tim Mourer owned a traditional bakery when he found out in 2009 that he was allergic to gluten.

Tim said he believed that everyone deserves a delicious birthday cake on their birthday. He perfected the recipes and opened the two bakeries in Bucks County.

Tim Mourer has a vision that every local community has easy access to gluten-free baked goodies.

Amanda Markind, a Conestoga High School student, who is working part-time at the bakery, said she is so happy the bakery opened in her neighborhood.

Markind, who is also on a gluten-free diet, said her parents would drive her to Bucks County to get the baked goodies.

"It is really exciting for me that the bakery is here," she said.
