This gem of a gluten-free bakery can be found in Calgary on you guessed it 90th Avenue. They have two locations, the dedicated gluten-free bakery is located at #131-2515 90th Avenue SW. I found it just before Christmas. Sorry for the late blog!! It has been on my mind, but I sure can procrastinate when I want to. To be fair I did get wrapped up in Christmas.
The selection here is marvelous. Just look at those pies! Yum!!
Loads of cupcakes and cookies!!!! You need to arrive in the morning to get your pick. I visited in the late afternoon but still plenty to choose from. Do you see that wonderful sign there? Your eyes do not deceive you that does say "Welcome to our dedicated gluten-free bakery." I think I have died and gone to heaven! They opened this gluten-free bakery back in 2010 but have been in the bakery business since 1990 according to their website.
Not only can you buy gluten-free baked items they also have a small store area where you can purchase a variety of gluten-free items I have not seen elsewhere.
Loads more choices in that freezer there!!!! As always, fearing it would be awhile till I was back in Calgary I loaded up on things and spent way too much! Does anyone else do that when they see new gluten-free items?
Tried their sausage rolls. I had not had a store bought sausage roll since 2013!!! Pricey as are all gluten-free products compared to their gluten ones. I paid $4.95 cdn for one. But it tasted fantastic. I wonder if this will ever change? I know you can make your own and I do sometimes. But there are times where it is nice to just pop into a bakery and buy something that you know is safe for you to eat.
The cherry pie was ok. I liked the pastry. I did find the filling to be a little on the thick side, so I don't think I'd buy it again.
Really enjoyed the chicken pot pie. I would buy it again. As with the cherry pie the crust was very flaky and tasty.
I liked the cookie. It wasn't overly sweet but a little tough.
I will be back! They have so much choice. So far, this is the best dedicated gluten-free bakery I have found in Calgary. Check out their website at http://www.lakeviewbakerycalgary.com/lakeview-on-90th/
