Maison Violette | Saint Agricol

They have a few gluten free cakes (no savory food) but they are kept with all the other cakes and bread, and they are cooked in the same oven. Not good for coeliacs

I knew the violet bakeries at their peak when they supplied the big restaurants, where everything was of high quality. It's been years since I last visited one of these bakeries. Unfortunately the quality has gone down the drain. The croissants, pain au chocolat visually look like industrial ones. I asked the saleswoman she told me no, everything is homemade. I bought one and I can assure you that it is industrial even in taste and texture. So either the saleswoman was dishonest or playing with words by saying homemade but in all cases it's the same. and if they are really homemade, kneaded... you have a real baker's problem. Frankly, the bakery is no longer what it used to be. A great scam at prohibitive prices Gluten-free is still present and quite good but the prices.....
