Top 7 Gluten-Free Bakeries to Delight in Montclair

Airen Bijou

Small, counter service bakery, with a few seats at the bar and a couple tables outside. Everything we got was really good. I'm not gluten free but my partner is, and we both really enjoyed what we got. We got two bagels, one sesame with butter(her) and an everything with cream cheese(me) here in lies our only beef. My partner is also dairy free so the butter was the only option and even that was a stretch and a chance. And they were pretty light with my cream cheese, not trying to be greedy but I expect an ample schmere. So the bagels were amazing but in the future we'd get them to go. We also bought an array of donuts and cookies to take for later and ALL of those were excellent. Not pictured are the filled donuts, and a slice of coffee cake. Honestly the best thing in my opinion was that thumbprint cookie, kinda stole the show for me. I would go back back get 50 of those things. It's really nice to have a bakery option be gluten free. And if you are, this place is totally up there. 9 out of 5 stars

SJ and her husband are the dream team! I stumbled upon them in trying to find a place who can make vintage style wedding cakes, regular and gluten free, in the Montclair area. Once I spoke with them, they easily accommodated everything I asked for and for a very great price. Not only did we get a chance to go in to try all the cakes, frostings and fillings, included in the total, but we also got to meet them and their family, who are so sweet, welcoming and down to earth people (really making it worth the $$$ in helping and supporting small businesses/their family). SJ also makes all the cakes, icings and filings from scratch-delicious!! On the day of my wedding, the cakes were just ask expected and beyond our expectations!!! Highly recommend them not only just for weddings but any cakes for any special occasion!!!!

The cafe had an Istanbul vibe to it. Very exquisite and cute. I loved how our gluten free diet was accommodated. Definitely coming back.

Everything that needs to be said about this lovely Montclair cafe has already been said by other reviewers. The ambiance is just as cozy and homey as others have suggested, and the service (both at the tables and counters) is friendly to boot. What I'd like to add to the heaps of praise of this sweet cafe is my personal ode to the pistachio croissant. Maybe it's the recent vitality of the famed Dubai chocolate, but I've noticed this green nut making a more prominent appearance in pastry shops (to note: Sweet Kitchen proffers their own version of the Dubai dessert). I was tempted by two of them behind this cafe's counters - the gluten-free pistachio cookie and the pistachio croissant. For a cookie free of gluten, this one's got plenty of crunch and texture. There's a ton of almondy essence (maybe it's made with almond flour?) that beautifully complements the flavor of the ground pistachios. But the croissant was what took my breath away. When we broke into it, we audibly gasped at the gooey dribble of pistachio filling that revealed itself. It's a wonderful and tasty surprise that, along with the crunchy pistachio topping, makes for an incredible take on the humble croissant. There are just enough tables to provide a low hum of vibrancy without making things too loud. The corner of self-service materials (eating utensils, water cups, and bins for used glassware) also makes this a great space for hanging out to work or catch up with friends without waiting for servers.

Gluten free options!! They have two *beautiful* mini cakes that are GF. You can also get them full size for a birthday. There are also other GF options like macarons, a cookie, etc. Usually GF folks don’t get to enjoy the pretty cakes at a place like this, but there is a delicious chocolate cake and an incredible tropical fruit mousse cake that are both unbelievably good. Run, don’t walk!

Found this place on tiktok because a girl was selling plants there.I had the vegan sandwich. It was outer this world. The hot Apple cider was incredible. They have all different kinds of teas,and gluten free Donuts. All the staff are super friendly. They have a nice little patio you could sit and eat your sandwich and drink your tea or coffee. The parking was no problem they have a lot or on street parking too. The price was great too. Sometimes you have to get there early because they sell out a lot of stuff. there vegan sandwich or gluten free sandwich. Are awesome. I gave them a 5 star because the food was incredible and Fresh. the staff are super super friendly. The place is super clean And the prices was not bad at all. the atmosphere sitting on the patio It's so relaxing. So I would recommend this place to anybody.

This is my favorite bakery in town - everything is delicious and there is a huge variety of fresh-baked treats. We recommended them to our neighbor because of their gluten-free needs, and they were thrilled with the gluten-free options. The staff is friendly and kind - they always give our dog a pup-cup! Highly recommend!
