Lu & I is described as a charming Montreal bakery that specializes in vegan and gluten free pastries, offering cupcakes, tarts, muffins, cookies and donuts, with a noticeable emphasis on grain free, organic approaches and avoidance of seed oils and processed sugars. Reviews praise rich flavors and varied textures, from rhubarb strawberry pie and lemon tart to carrot cake cupcakes and chocolate treats, and many items are noted to be dairy free or gluten free without sacrificing taste. The outside terrace is a pleasant setting for enjoying treats, and the bakery is regarded as a standout for gluten free and vegan options that appeal to both vegans and non vegans alike. A few comments mention higher prices and occasional baking hiccups such as mushy gluten free cookies or a cake icing design not being followed, but overall customers express enthusiasm and plan to return, often calling it one of the best gluten free and vegan pastry spots in the area.
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
The two ten year olds sitting with me are raving that these desserts taste better than they have any right to. They didn't want to believe me that it was gluten free & vegan. The brownie is apparently "heavenly" & the donut is "way too good". They want to go back to personally thank the chef.

I ordered a cake for my daughter's 1st birthday from here. The taste was great & it was so wonderful that it was vegan, gluten free & without regular sugar. Everyone enjoyed it! However, the presentation was really lacking. The way it was decorated was somewhat haphazard & not what I would expect for a cake costing $78 plus tax. If they would have skipped the randomly placed dried oranges, it would have helped.
My girlfriend & I were searching for a small vegan cafe during our first visit to Montreal. This place was perfect. & the sweet potato soup was delicious!

En raison d'intolérances alimentaires, je suis toujours à l'affût de pâtisseries végan, donc sans produits laitiers. Je suis passee par hasard & j'ai decidé d'entrer pour essayer des cupcakes. Celui au chocolat & framboises est un pur délice. Le gâteau a presqu'une texture de brownie & goûte le bon chocolat. La crème à la framboise est divinement sucrée. Bref, un gros coup de coeur!
My friend bought my vegan birthday cake here, & it was delicious! Everyone finished their plates. I also recommend adding a strawberry coulis on the side to make it more moist, it was fantastic 😍🍓🍰
