Lu & I is a bakery that offers vegan, gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free options with a wide range of cupcakes, tarts, muffins, pies and drinks; items like rhubarb strawberry pie, lemon tart, carrot cupcake and chocolate raspberry cupcake are highlighted for their flavor and the icing, while rhubarb tarts and edible flowers on muffins or cake add charm; the venue is described as charming and welcoming, and it is praised as a standout for gluten-free and vegan desserts even for those with celiac disease; some reviews mention price as a consideration and note occasional issues with texture or icing design, but the overall impression is that Lu & I is a must-visit bakery cafe for quality, dietary-friendly treats and a warm atmosphere.
6$ for a cupcake i understand since its a small bakery & i dont mind supporting, however, the chocolate cupcake tasted awful, smells old almost funky & cake part was stale just dry, icing is not edible at all. i tried to eat it since it was expensive but couldn't after 2 bites. It tells you how awful this tasted.
Bit pricey & they didn't bake the gluten free cookies right because they were just really mushy. But they seem new to this area with only about 90 reviews & it's hard to find gluten free lactose free option so I hope it gets better. But yeah, probably will go somewhere else for pastries...
I came by for the first time to pick up my order from sarrasin boulangerie, & decided to try out 2 muffins while i was there. I got the carrot muffin as well as the strawberry. & they were both so delicious & full of flavor. Will definitely be coming back soon. Its so hard to find gluten free bakeries in the city that are mostly grain free,organic & without the use of seed oils & processed sugars - basically everything i avoid! Its perfect! Cant wait to come back.
Lu & I is an exceptional bakery! We tried 6 items: Rhubarb & Strawberry Pie, Lemon Tart, mini Chocolate donut, Date Square, Chocolate & Raspberry Cupcake & Carot Cake Cookie. All items were exceptional with the perfect sweetness. This is a charming little spot that is a must in Montreal.❤?
Delicious cupcakes. They're unconventional & dense but also moist & delicious. The rhubarb tarts are absolutely amazing. Excellent stuff & super impressive to be gluten, dairy & refined sugar free.

My wife & I tried their carrot, lemon & poppy seed cupcakes. They were amazing, & we ordered white icing lemon & poppy seeds wedding cake. It was so delicious. They also put edible flowers on the muffins & cake which was nice. My wife is celiac, so she was happy with the cake. We will visit again. But while ordering our cake, we asked for a specific cake icing design. They didn't follow that & made another design, but still, it was good for us.
I called same day to see if I could get a last minute gluten free cake however cakes required 24 hrs notice. Instead I got 8 cupcakes since the persons who birthday it was required gluten free.
I am not a gluten free or vegan person but these were absolutely amazing, tasted so good & for sure the best gluten free &/or vegan cupcakes I've ever had. The whole crowd loved them as well. We got an assortment & all of them were a hit
Un brownie végétalien, sans gluten, sans farine & sans céréale, c'est tout simplement Divin 😁 C'est le meilleur parmi tous ceux que j'ai mangé dans ma vie (& je suis un grand amateur de desserts)
