About Us
The Tradition Lives On
In January 2021, Katy Knoer and her husband, Dietrich, acquired the Give Thanks Bakery from its founder, Gerald Matthes, who is now enjoying his retirement. As long time friends of the Matthes Family and customers of Give Thanks Bakery, Katy and Dietrich are excited to continue the rich tradition built since 1998.
"Our love of food, a passion for cooking and baking, and the German-American heritage in our family, are the foundation of our desire to usher the Bakery into a new chapter. Our first priority as a small business is to bring joy and well-being to our community by providing wholesome and nutritious baked goods to everyone. Our core values are based on Faith, Love, Giving and a dedication to Serving Others.
The art of making bread and pastries requires a talented team that is dedicated to craftsmanship and innovation. Our best-in-class team reflects our core values and strives for excellence every day."
Do you carry any Gluten-Free Items?
Our MOST-ASKED question! The answer is YES!
We are not a certified gluten-free bakery and while our professionals use common sense practices to avoid cross-contamination, we have a lot of environmental flour in our space.
We make the following gluten-free items
from scratch and by hand:
Healthy Seed Loaf
Earthquake Cookie (pictured)
Rustic Walnut Cookie
Italian Almond Cookie
Banana Everything Cookie (vegan)
Banana Walnut Muffin (dairy free)
Chocolate Chip Muffin
Our European-style tortes can be made with a gluten free base, with a few days notice.
