About me...
I’m Naomi Lowe and nicknamed “Nibsylove” by my mum from an early age – hence Nibsy. I live in Reading with my husband Jon and my two gorgeous young boys, Bradley and Leonard.
After being diagnosed gluten-intolerant I became fed up with the lack of great-tasting gluten-free options, particularly when visiting coffee shops. I decided to open my own exclusively gluten-free coffee shop in my home town of Reading in 2014.
I had very little baking experience, had never run a business before and was potentially taking a huge risk. But the dream of creating somewhere special became a reality and against all-odds, the business thrived with a wonderful customer base who appreciated what me and the team did. At the heart of it: simple gluten-free treats, without compromise on taste.
In Summer 2021 I sold the coffee shop to focus more time on being a mum. The new owners gave it a new name and website, but everything is still entirely gluten-free. Check them out at www.yaylo.co
Despite having walked away from the dream that I’d made into a reality, I’m incredibly proud of what was achieved and that my home town still has somewhere dedicated to all of us who can’t eat gluten.
