Toté gluten-free bakery opening in the Italian Market

Partners Omer Taffet and Eugene Torsonov will open Toté (toe-tay), a gluten-free baking operation, this Friday at 9 a.m. Located in the middle of the Italian Market at Ninth and League (1024 S. Ninth St.), Toté will do a handful of sweets (cookies, muffins, etc.), but the real focus will be on hearty breads (multigrain, baguette, sandwich rolls) and savory pastries made with alternatives to wheat flour (sorghum, amaranth, teff, garbanzo, etc.). Torsonov himself has celiac disease, but Taffet points out that they're not catering exclusively to those whose bodies cannot process gluten. "It's not just a 'gluten-free' place," says Taffet, a cook who's worked at Susanna Foo, Davio's and Kanella. "It's all about alternative, wholesome grains. You don't have to be celiac to enjoy this." They'll offer coffee eventually, too; for now they'll operate from 9 to 5 every day but Monday.
