Behind the Brand
Indigo Janell Martinez
Founder / Pastry Chef / Creative Director
What started as a mission to create gluten-free and dairy-free foods and desserts for my fiancé, who lives with celiac disease, quickly became a passion I couldn't ignore.
As a mother and lifelong creative, I fell in love with the artistry of baking and the joy desserts can bring to life's biggest moments. I realized I could use that creativity to create something meaningful for people who are often given limited options at restaurants, events, etc.
Indigo was created with one simple belief: gluten-free should never feel like a compromise. I want to create elevated desserts that people with dietary restrictions - are genuinely excited to experience—not simply a “safe” alternative or an afterthought.

why gluten free and dairy free?
At Indigo, gluten-free and dairy-free is not an afterthought—it is part of our craft.
We believe dietary restrictions should never mean choosing between safety, beauty, and exceptional flavor. Every dessert is thoughtfully developed to deliver the texture, richness, and elegance you expect from a beautifully made dessert, without gluten or dairy.
Our menu is crafted with carefully selected ingredients and a meticulous approach to preparation, creating desserts that feel indulgent, sophisticated, and completely worth celebrating.
Whether you live gluten-free, avoid dairy, are planning for guests with dietary needs, or simply love exceptional desserts, there is a place for you at Indigo.
Because gluten-free should never feel like less. It should feel beautifully reimagined.
Allergen Information
