Reviews describe Cookie Stéfanie as a cozy cafe with a strong gluten-free selection and a tempting array of pastries, cookies, muffins, and cakes. Many praise items like the gluten-free carrot cake and the chocolate caramel cake, note that there are specialty gluten-free products in store and even frozen cakes, and some items are nut based; however some muffins and cookies can be a bit dry and a few items feel overly sweet or not fully gluten-free in practice. Several reviews highlight friendly service and a convenient one stop spot for gluten-free treats, while a few mention changes in staff and inconsistent morning experiences. Overall, it seems to be a go to for gluten-free options and baked goods with many highlights but with caveats about labeling accuracy, freshness, and value.View restaurant profile

Avril Supermarché Santé comes through in reviews as a small but fairly complete health-focused market with a strong emphasis on fresh, organic, and hard-to-find items, plus a cafe and a popular ice cream that many praise.
