Like lactose, many people are becoming more and more intolerant to gluten. For some, it's sensitivity, while for others, it's a life-altering allergy that prohibits them from eating some of life's most decadent delights.


Thankfully, more and more bakeries and pastry shops are offering gluten-free alternatives, and some run an entirely gluten-free operation!


Here are some gluten-free businesses in the area that you can grab your next treat from.


 

The Cakery


If you're looking for a delicious gluten-free cake, look no further than The Cakery. Located in Vaudreuil-Dorion, this is the perfect option for both on-island and off-island residents. With cashew cream cake options like Vanilla Chai, Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, and Lemon White Chocolate, you're guaranteed not to be disappointed.


Susie Sans Gluten


From doughnuts to cupcakes, to artisanal bread, to pizza crust and bagels, it's safe to say Susie Sans Gluten is your one-stop-shop. If you don't happen to be close to Laval where their shop is located, keep your eyes out for their many products in grocery stores and specialty shops near you.


Chef Veganessa


Chef Veganessa runs an entirely whole-grain, plant-based, gluten-free, and vegan operation.
