As a celiac who recently moved to Victoria, I was excited to try Origin Bakery. The Almond Slice and chocolate ganache cupcakes are to die for... absolutely delicious! I have enjoyed many different GF breads from independent bakeries across the country (coast to coast) and the bread here is very decent - not my favourite, but WAY better than commercial, so definitely recommend. This past weekend, with the anniversary sale, I made a large order and was thrilled with all of it with the exception of the lemon curd. I was very disappointed in that the curd was a brownish colour, rather than yellow, and had a burnt/caramelized taste along with flecks of dark brown near burnt pieces and was, in my opinion, not edible. I wrote to the bakery to ask what could be done, and the response I received was that they make it that way on purpose and that due to personal preference, no refund or a new container would be provided. Fair enough. But also good to know that I will NEVER order the lemon pie from the bakery or again order the safe lemon curd to use in my own baking. Disappointing. It has left a bad taste in my mouth - literally and figuratively.

Such a great place. We ate here for lunch for days! Their homemade soups are delicious, as is the gluten free foccacia bread which I had along with it. The green bowl curry was absolutely outstanding, highly recommended. We had the turtle cheesecake one day, super creamy and delicious. One of my favorite places to go!

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken. My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried. We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me. Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

They don't have many gluten free options. I ordered and was assured that the kitchen will take care. I got sick later that night as I have celiac disease. So care was not taken.

Best gluten free sandwiches ever! Family run business that doesn’t skimp on fillings. I get my toasted sandwiches here and they have really nice tea as well, loose leaf good quality. I come here weekly and generally don’t eat out places often but the quality is so great that I come here after my physiotherapy upstairs and it’s the perfect boost. The washroom is very clean and spacious, wheelchair or stroller friendly, and has a changing table.
