I discovered Parc Sans Gluten yesterday while hanging out at Parc La Fontaine with some friends, & I am so glad I did. As someone with celiac disease, finding safe places to eat can be stressful, so the fact that it was only about a five minute walk from where we were in the park already felt like a win.

Even though we arrived pretty late in the day & they were closing in about an hour & a half, I was surprised by how many options were still available. The selection felt generous & thoughtfully organized. One side had more tarts & pastries, while the other featured classic items like croissants, chocolatines, & almond chocolatines. It actually felt like walking into a'normal' bakery, which is rare when you have to eat gluten free.

I ordered a ham & cheese croissant, which I have been craving for so long. Being able to order one at a café without worrying about getting sick honestly felt amazing. It was super flaky, reminded me of buttery goodness (but it is dairy free!) & really satisfying. I also grabbed a chocolatine for later, & it held up perfectly. I reheated it at home & it tasted fresh, with lots of rich chocolate inside, exactly how I like it.

My friend, who does not need to eat gluten free, also loved their almond chocolatine & said they would definitely come back. The staff member working was incredibly kind & attentive, even checking in to make sure everything was good. They also gave me a loyalty card, which was a nice touch.

It is maybe about a dollar more expensive than other gluten free spots I have tried, but for the quality & peace of mind, it is absolutely worth it. I will definitely be back & recommending it to others.

So damn tasty-Gluten & dairy free. We tried the empanadas, the tarts, a plain croissant (plus, took home the chickens pie from the frozen section). Everything was great & the service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Delicious gluten free delicacies! I did have some confusion with the website saying they were dairy free & found out they were not all dairy free so make sure to check first but everything is delish.

Incredible gluten-free pastries & a delightful flat white to pair. The croissants & empanadas were absolutely to die for (even by non-gluten-free standards, but this is all gluten-free!) & the perfect start to our day. Staff was helpful, bilingual (French/English) & super friendly! Everything in shop is gluten-free, which was such a huge relief for my celiac partner. 5/5!
