This bakery offers a cozy, European café vibe with rustic tables and sunlit seating surrounded by plants. Known for amazing gluten-free muffins and desserts that rival high-end Parisian pastry shops, it provides a laid back and comfortable atmosphere perfect for gluten-free indulgence.
We ordered pastries from L&C Bakery for our wedding in Crescent Valley: hazelnut temptation, chocolate lovers (for the gluten free / dairy free) and raspberry macarons.
I am French and the quality of these desserts is on par with what I would find at high end pastry shops in Paris when I lived there. They are delicious and subtle. Our guests were amazed. I have been in BC for 10 years now and simply put the only other place I found this level of quality and genuine "French dessert" taste is at Thierry's in Vancouver.
In addition, Lisa and her team were very easy to work with, and very accomodating. They even made a special version of one of the dessert to accomodate the dietary restrictions of one of our guests.
All that to say that if I could give them 10 stars I would!

Wow, wow, wow. After reading an article about the L&C French Bakery, I went to their website to check out the menu. And, imagine my delight, when I discovered that they have GLUTEN FREE goodies. So I drove from Kaslo to Nelson to check them out. And I've been back 3 times since then. AMAZING desserts (both gluten free and regular). And, unlike so many other spots, these desserts aren't just "Pretty good for gluten free". Nope. These gluten free desserts are the best I've ever eaten -- and I used to bake custom cheesecakes for restaurants. The service is super-friendly, the coffee is fantastic and the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. Support these folks!! I'll keep driving in from Kaslo to treat myself (and others).
