Gluten Free Bakery in London – The List
The Gluten Free Bakery

The owner of The Gluten Free Bakery was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2012. She could not find delicious crusty bread anywhere, so set out to make her own! They specialise in gluten free bread items such as bagels, rolls and most importantly gluten free sourdough! I love gluten free sourdough bread, and this bakery does it well. One rave review has stated that the bread from this bakery has changed all expectations of gluten free bread and that it could fool someone who eats gluten! You can pop in store or order online for delivery to the comfort of your own home.
