Lemonade Gluten-Free Bakery Vancouver
🥐 Lemonade Gluten-Free Bakery is where Vancouver’s celiac crowd goes to get some of the good stuff back.
This tiny Cambie Street bakery has been completely gluten-free since 2012, turning out the things that are notoriously hard to find without wheat: flaky croissants, profiteroles, cinnamon danishes, tiramisu, baguettes and gorgeous mousse cakes that look every bit at home in a traditional pastry case. The croissants alone inspire repeat visits and road trips, while Triple Chocolate Mousse, Lemon Cheesecake and Passionfruit Meringue Tarts have plenty of devoted fans of their own. Many treats are also available dairy-free, egg-free or vegan, and even gluten-eating friends regularly report they can’t tell the difference. For anyone who remembers exactly how good a proper croissant was before going gluten-free, Lemonade can feel a little bit like getting it back.
