Cantine Panella is the best gluten-free bakery/sandwich shop we have ever been to! I would challenge anyone to find one that's better...they can't! This place has exceptional service, fantastic food, excellent coffee & desserts so good, they're better than regular desserts that are not gluten-free! We got their asado & butifarra sandwiches - one beef & one pork, & they were amazing. The bread was so good (you would never know it was gluten-free) & the meats were marinated so nicely. Highly recommend these if you're looking for a full meal, but BE SURE to save room for dessert!! For example, they have the best tiramisu I have ever tasted (& I've had 100s of tiramisus all over the world, gluten-free & not), & that's just one thing out of many. They bake all their bread fresh every day & you can get so many different types of wonderful gluten-free bread - be sure to come early before they start to sell out! They even have amazing coffee...we got an iced latte & it was so much better than expected. Nice, strong coffee! All in all, I would highly encourage anyone to come to Cantine Panella - I wouldn't really call it a "hidden gem", but more people still need to know about it!!

Best gluten-free hamburger bun I have ever tasted! I made delicious seared tuna burgers with this very special bread. I will be back for more.

have never had any gluten-free pastries like this before. I literally had to check so many times to make sure everything is gluten-free. They make ❤️❤️THE BEST ❤️❤️ gluten-free products you can ever imagine. Imagine this: all the things you've wished to eat gluten-free, they have them at an affordable price. The consistency of their breads & pastries is phenomenal, & they taste so good. They are extremely knowledgeable about their products & are super friendly. What a gem! Even if you're not celiac & just want high-quality food/pastries, give this place a try🥖🥨🥐🥪

Eating here was such a wonderful experience. They have lovingly created THE best Gluten free bread, quiche, pie crusts & pastries I've ever had, the man who helped me, who I believe was the owner, was so warm, kind, welcoming & helpful in every way. I will drive from Ottawa again & again to come here, it's incredible. You two have mastered gluten free baking & cooking! Thank you so much for bringing joy to my day & delicious bread back into my life as someone who is Celiac. :)

This place brought so much joy to me & my wife on our visit in Montreal! Truly the best gf pastries & bread we've ever had ! The pistachio roll was maybe the best tasting dessert I've had in years. We live in Ottawa but will be tempted to drive here for our weekend coffee & treats :)

Wow! Friendly service here & absolutely delicious food. Had the soup of the day & grilled baguette. Brought home some of the breads & buns -they were fresh, moist & flavourful.

Based on the reviews of others, decided to stop in & am I ever glad we did! The bread is amazingly soft & flavourful. I also enjoyed the quiche. Can't wait to go back & enjoy a fresh sandwich on site!
