Two Fields BakeshopTwo Fields Bakeshop is the Berkeley Heights outpost of a family pastry tradition that reaches back to 1972, led by second-generation French-trained pastry chef Nick Nikolopoulos. After seeing his sons and nephew struggle with life-threatening food allergies, Nick built a dedicated kitchen where people with celiac disease can enjoy carefully made baked goods without the usual worry. Its certified facility is entirely free of peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame, with separate preparation for dairy-free and egg-free options.BROOKLYN, NY
