Two dedicated bakeries on Lakeshore Road East

This is the city’s strong point: two fully gluten-free workshops on the same street, letting you compare without getting back in the car.

Kelly’s Bake Shoppe, 259 Lakeshore Road East, was founded in 2012 by Kelly Childs and her daughter Erinn. Cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cakes and muffins are 100% gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free and peanut-free — the shop won first place at the Toronto Vegan Bake-Off. The site kellysxo.com and HappyCow confirm it.

Sugar Suite, 156 Lakeshore Road East, is a 100% gluten-free and nut-free bakery-patisserie, specializing in luxury cakes and occasion pastries, also offering cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones and mini pizzas. Verified via sugarsuitecakes.com, Visit Oakville and Yelp. If you need a gluten-free birthday cake in the area, this is the place.

The Kerr Street table

The Simple Kitchen, 432 Kerr Street, in the Lakeshore Flats area, is a gluten-free restaurant-shop: breakfasts, lunches and homemade pastries, free of gluten and dairy, with a gluten-free grocery corner to take home what you need. The site thesimplekitchencanada.com confirms it, and customer reviews rate it 4.7/5. It is the address for a sit-down meal.

Our tips on site

  • Say “I have celiac disease,” rather than “gluten-free”: it is the phrase that triggers real precautions in the kitchen, even at a dedicated establishment.
  • Celiac Canada is the country’s reference national association for celiac disease.
  • Group the two bakeries together: numbers 156 and 259 Lakeshore Road East are on the same street, a few minutes’ walk apart. Kerr Street is a separate trip.
