Reviews of Mountain Top Wheat & Gluten-Free Bakery (Bakery)

Brieanna Fiander

Great food for on the go. Lots of high sugary stuff, but if gluten is your only issue great options. Nice pies for the holidays.

I liked this bakery, but now I'm not impressed. I bought a chicken pot pie, cheesy bread, sausage rolls, paninis, and apple pie. The chicken pot pie was really disappointing, with barely any chicken or vegetables for that fact; we were basically just eating dough. The sausage rolls were very dry, lacked freshness, and were a complete crumbly mess. As for the paninis, they barely had any flavour, and I would not repurchase them. The bread and sweets here are fine, but the quality of the other items seriously needs to be worked on. I spent a good bit of money and was so unimpressed.

Best gluten free bread ever

Tanya Sunshine

Fantastic and friendly customer service. They make THE BEST EVER gluten, dairy, egg and yeast free bread around. Like most breads of this fashion, it's best toasted, but from toasted it tastes and feels like "regular bread", which is often difficult to find in these types of breads. And it makes great sandwiches my 7yr old loves in her school lunches. I buy these loaves in bulk and keep in my freezer, the slices NEVER stick together, this is a huge benefit over other breads that once frozen, you try to get a slice and the bread has molded into one big slice that breaks off in pieces (so frustrating). The bread is on the $$ side, but most of these kinds of breads are and there is, not to my knowledge, other breads out there without yeast, egg, gluten and dairy and with low sugar and pretty decent ingredients. I happily pay the $$. This bread is unique, especially for those needing this type of bread and I couldn't be more grateful to Mountain Top Cafe and Bakery for inventing this perfect bread! Thank you Grace and Bruce!!!! One day I hope to visit your Cafe ????.

The pecan pie and sour cherry pie are my favourites! I buy them at Planet Organic in Edmonton. These are a dream for a dairy free celiac!

We, unfortunately, were unable to get anything here because we didn't have a Canadian credit card. I understand if you don't want to pay the processing fee (since we're American), but we were planning on buying roughly $40 worth of product. At a bakery, that's quite a bit. Additionally, if you don't accept American credit cards, maybe put a sign on your door or let us know before we order. When we weren't able to buy the product, we were treated very rudely and left. It's a shame because everything in the shop looked wonderful and obviously if you need to eat gluten-free, I ASSUME this would be a good place to go since they had a lot of variety.

(Translated) Great gluten-free bakery in the neighborhood. The variety on pastries is limited but they are good. I love the sugar cookies, muffins and date squares. The bread is the must have here. The texture, flavor, and the quality is incredible. Few breads can compete with this one. I'm used to European bakeries so I asked if they do croissants and baguettes. Very friendly they explained to me that people don't buy them so they stop making them. I totally understand that the short variety is due to the specific taste of the clients. Even though you can not find everything, the quality of their products is very good. I am satisfied as a customer. Great gluten free bakery in the neighborhood. They have a limited variety of baked goods but the ones they do have are very good. My favorites are the sugar cookies, muffins and the chocolate squares. Bread is the best in here. The texture, flavor and quality as the days go by is incredible. Few breads can compete with this one. I'm used to European bakeries so I asked if they sometimes make croissants and baguettes. Very kindly they explained to me that people don't buy them as much and that's why they stopped making them. It makes perfect sense that they have a small variety based on the actual demand they have. Although the variety is not high, the quality of the products they have is very good. Very satisfied as a consumer! (Original) Great gluten-free bakery in the neighborhood. The variety on pastries is limited but they are good. I love the sugar cookies, muffins and date squares.

Mis favoritos las galletas de azúcar, muffins y los cuadrados de chocolate. El pan es lo mejor de aquí. La textura, el sabor y la calidad cuando pasan los días es increíble. Pocos panes pueden competir con éste. Estoy acostumbrada a panaderías Europeas así que pregunté si a veces hacían croasanes y baguetes. Muy amablemente me explicaron que la gente no las compra tanto y por eso dejaron de hacerlas. Tiene todo el sentido que tengan un reducida variedad basada en la demanda real que tienen. Aunque la variedad no sea alta, la calidad de los productos que tienen es muy buena. Muy satisfecha como consumidor!

Wonderful chocolate cake!

Not sure why this place gets high ratings, we went in there on a Saturday at around 1200 and all their baked goods were wrapped in plastic wrap..Did not look and smell fresh. We did not buy anything there. But we went to two daughters down the road and not only could you smell the treats being made they were out on dish's like a normal bakery..

Had an appointment for a massage this morning and the delicious bakery aroma dragged me to this gem of a store on my way out. I found many delicious GF treats for my wife - Macaroons, Granola bars and a delicious Greek Quiche!

Love it!

Brandon Hodgson

Fantastic variety of gluten free as well as dairy free options that taste great. Great customer experience with willingness to help with info on more than gluten free items.

Sarah Macgregor

Such an awesome surprising find. Gluten and wheat free bakery for the win!!

Melissa Bonner

Very tasty bread! Very friendly staff! I will be buying my bread here from now on!

Sarah

The smell of this bakery is so inviting in the hallway and inside the bakery! Lots of selection to chose from, but not any freshly baked pastries. When we went, everything was individually wrapped and presumably not baked fresh. The date square and macadamia nut brownie were very small portions (maybe 2inches) and cost over $6. They were decent, and would like to check out bread from here in the future.

Emily Barrieau

I have a gluten, corn, dairy and soy intolerance. And a preference for whole foods and ingredients I can understand... so This makes finding bread products I can buy a serious challenge! I am SO grateful to have found these guys. The search is over, I love this product so much and I feel great eating it. Thank you!!

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I wanted to share my experience so that hopefully others avoid my frustration. I went to the bakery today and purchased 2 loaves of "sourdough" bread, a pack of butter tarts and a few other items. I noticed that the bread didn't smell quite right, but I was in a rush and needed to get home. When I arrived home and sliced it, I discovered that it wasn't sourdough it was plain white bread. It does not have the sour fermented flavour or smell that proper sourdough has. I was also disappointed to find that the butter tarts were dry and stale - the sugar filling inside having hardened and crystallized. I called about the issue with the bread mix up and was told that sourdough and white bread are the same, which they are not. I definitely wouldn't go back and would urge you to spend your money elsewhere. Gluten free products are expensive enough as it is, at least you should get what you are paying for.

Has the beat gluten free bread I have found anywhere in BC!

I tried the chicken panini here and the bread portion doesn't taste as good as it smells. The aroma is very nice, but the crust is dry feeling. I found it hard to eat. I also bought a box of granola bars that just came out fresh. The lady literally just put it in the box. Smells and tastes great. Definitely worthwhile to take on a hike. It's located inside the mall with entrance being along Lonsdale Ave. You can smell the fresh bread from outside the door. Once entered the mall, go straight as it's right at the end of the long hallway. I bought the apple pie as well, but have yet to try it. Will update this review later. Easy access and easy to find as there is a sandwich board outside on the sidewalk.

Nicole Harshey

Great selection of gluten free items

Jason Klatt

Wow, you could smell this bakery from down the hall. Reminds me of the bakery I used to go to in the 80's as the mall is a bit out of date, but the amount of goods there was incredible. I wish I had a bigger stomach!

Bailey Lebrechthausen

The pot pie is dry and empty. The crust suffers from that gluten free rice taste. It has a few slices of carrot and undercooked celery if you get lucky. Maybe their other stuff is okay, but I will not be spending my money to find out.

Barbara B

The bread and buns are amazing.I freeze and toast to keep fresh. It is hard to justify ever buying store bought bread again! Yum!

Nicole Aseron

This place has the best baked chicken pot pie, Greek pizza, and a delectable to die for cinnamon buns. The owners are amazing people and I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Richard Wright

A wholly gluten-free bakery with an excellent selection of treats/savouries. Lunch is very tasty and is reasonably priced.

Jennifer Breckon

Wonderful service and staff

Eileen McAdam

Lovely place with best customer service ever!

Friendly service and a delicious toasted tuna sandwich on gluten free bread. Just wish it was bigger because it's really tasty, and a bit pricey for the portion. Other than that, yummy muffins and other little treats.

Rebecca Steinberg

My favourite gluten free spot in North Vancouver!

Shiv Grewal

Great food and very friendly.

We are a ferry away from North van, but Grace was good enough to meet us at her closed shop so my husband could pick up an order of wheat free treats to suite his Fodmap diet. He is so very happy to enjoy cookies & muffins again. He loves the bread, toasted with eggs for breakfast - and had really missed it until Mountaintop! the chocolate biscotti are all gone already - so good! We have already told our gf friends to shop there. Very tasty gf baking and great customer service
