Top 8 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Waterloo

I’m annoyed enough to write this review because I just spent $25 on food that went into the garbage. After hearing good things I thought I would try them out. I got a gluten free muffin which was dry and mealy with over sugared icing. We got a couple sandwich cookies which were also mealy and so insanely sweet that I couldn’t taste anything other than sugar. They need to reduce the sugar by 50% to allow any other flavours to come out. We also got a butter tart. I’ve eaten a lot of butter tarts in my life and this was the worst. It was dense thick, icing, almost solid sugar, poured into a hard tart shell. Butter tarts are supposed to be gooey or even a tad runny and soft flaky crust. I have no idea why people recommend this place. Almost any bakery in the city does a better job.

Stopped in Saturday for lunch on my way home from Brady’s meats in Waterloo . I opted for the Turkey , fig and brie panini and a cappuccino. I also purchased some baked goodies to take home . They have a nice selection of baked goods including some gluten free/dairy free options . The panini and side salad were very tasty and the cappuccino delicious ! I also purchased some coffee beans to go , which they ground for me while I waited . A very nice spot with tasty goods and great service .

Stumbled upon this lovely bakery at the St Jacob’s Market. I am gluten free and now temporarily dairy free while breastfeeding my baby so in general desserts I can eat are tough to come by. Everything is gluten free and there are a number of dairy free options as well. I bought a slice of lemon loaf, blueberry pie bar, and birthday cake brownie type dessert and all were so amazing. I will definitely be coming back and can’t wait to taste everything on the menu once I can also eat dairy again!

This little cafe is a hidden gem. The staff is friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, and the food is comforting and tasty. They have many vegan and gluten-free options and everything is delicious. Their gluten-free muffins are incredible. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend The Healthy Owl.

A cute little bakery with some delicious options. They did also have a small gluten free selection (but not certified). We tried the caramel eclair, berry tart, alcoholic mint truffle, and the poppyseed apple. All were delicious!

Love my opera gluten free cake and the espresso coffee with it. Christmas cookies and cakes are the best, I highly recommend them. Must try them this winter season !
