Opened in 2011, Helmut Newcake was the first fully gluten-free bakery in Paris. Co-founder Marie Tagliaferro has Celiac disease herself, which is what inspired her to offer such a wide selection of pastries, many of which are indistinguishable from the traditional recipes. Helmut Newcake is lauded for the gluten-free éclairs, delightfully fluffy, with heavenly creamy fillings. Ready-made sandwiches with gluten-free bread are available for an on-the-go lunch, or you can sit at the bar inside to enjoy your treats. Bread is baked fresh on weekends – the simple pleasure of these warm, crusty loaves is one you won’t want to miss.

Maison Kayser

Multiple locations

Founded in 1996, Maison Kayser is a highly popular French boulangerie with a large line of gluten-free options. Despite not being an exclusively gluten-free bakery, you don’t have to worry about cross contamination here. There is a separate baking space for gluten-free goods, specially run by bakers with Celiac disease. The gluten-free breads are also double wrapped and stored away from the other products. The bakers at Maison Kayser spent 18 months developing the perfect gluten-free bread recipes, utilizing alternative flours such as buckwheat and chickpea. Premade gluten-free sandwiches are available, as well as gluten-free fruitcakes and cookies if you want something sweet.
