GLEN COVE, NY — The dawn of a new product, especially in the baking industry, often stems from necessity. Take Glen Cove, NY-based Steiner’s Coffee Cake of New York. After just seven years, the brand is emerging to the masses while simultaneously crafting a family legacy that’s been generations in the making.
While the baking company began operating in 2016, the story of Steiner’s starts in the ’60s with Malcolm Steiner, father-in-law of Nanci Steiner and grandfather to Jennifer Pool, the bakery’s creator-in-chief and president, respectively. Malcolm baked as a hobby and passed his knowledge and recipes on to Nanci. When Nanci was diagnosed with celiac disease more than 30 years ago, she took it upon herself to create a proprietary gluten-free flour blend.
