Good news, gluten-free eaters! If you think your intolerance to one of the world's most ubiquitous food ingredients has condemned you to a life of eating pasty cardboard, you’ll find your salvation this kid-friendly bakery located just off Kingsway in East Vancouver. 

All the delicious comfort foods you've been craving are at the Gluten Free Epicurean: from decadently chewy dark chocolate cookies and moist carrot muffins to sinfully good homemade pizza, with nary a speck of gluten to be found.

There's even a freezer full of take-and-bake goodies: gluten-free pies, pie shells and pizza dough, or cinnamon buns you can take home and bake yourself for a warm Sunday morning treat.

With a focus on quality local, organic, GMO-free ingredients, the results go far beyond merely edible.  If your personal dietary war extends beyond gluten, you'll be happy to know that sugar-free, dairy-free, and vegan options are also available.

Our top recommendations are the maple bacon apple fritter—OM NOM NOM—or the from-scratch doughnuts that are deep-fried fresh every morning. You'll think you've died and gone to gluten-free heaven!

All proof that food doesn't need gluten to be drool worthy.
