My son has a wheat allergy. For several years, we were purchasing their amazing blueberry muffins- his favorite and then he started to request that his birthday cupcakes be from Cherbourg. What's amazing is that the cakes don't taste gluten free and all of our guests love them and look forward to them (as well as the frosted cutouts) when we host gatherings. Everything is always fresh and delicious! Get there early because everything sells out fast :) read more

Amazing gluten free bakery! Our son has celiac disease. We are so thankful to have such a great place to take him where we know he won't get sick! read more

My wife has Celiacs so this is her go to place in Bexley. Staff is amazing but you have to show up early or they sell out. We took 7-8 pastries back to Phoenix so we can freeze them. They rival Mikes in Boston as the best gluten free bakery. read more

Yep, STILL the best desserts you will ever consume, and bonus you may ask?! All gluten and nut free! You would never guess! Ugh I love their cinnamon ands chocolate donut + the s'more bar! read more

Wow! This place is amazing. Its definitely a hidden gem. Located in Bexley on a little side street and hidden btw several other businesses. I had no clue it was there, but I started to hear about it on social media and decided to make the trip over to try it out. It's super popular! Even on a weekday the line was out the door as people lined up to grab a sweet treat. They have a big menu with tons of offerings. Not to mention everything is gluten free, I believe its vegan too bit dont quote me on that. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Their case was packed full with treats, but theres wasnt really signs describing each thing, so it was nice that they took time to explain what each item was and give their recommendations. My favorite was definitely the smores bar. I was super impressed by the texture of it and the marshmallow topping was to die for. I also like the donuts. Interesting enough they had mini donuts and full sized ones. There was several flavors, I went with strawberry. Simply excellent!!! Highly recommend stopping by if you have already. read more

Oh, how I've longed for a gluten free donut! The staff was helpful, it was bright and cheery inside, and most importantly - I could eat anything I wanted!! You have no idea how rare that is! The coffee was great too! I brought some goodies home and my boys promptly devoured them :) read more

This place is awesome. I was passing through grabbing some stuff at Rogue when I decided to stop here. Grabbed some s'mores bars and cream puffs. Wish they shipped their gluten free deliciousness because the s'mores bars I put in the freezer are all gone now. read more

The sweetest people and treats! No pun intended! I was in from out of town looking for some breakfast snacks to bring to a meeting full of hungry sales folks! They cut items in half for me and everything looked and tasted delish! The box was wiped clean before I could set it down! read more

Called this morning to see if they had any vegan gluten-free treats available, and she said, "No, but I can have some vegan chocolate cupcakes ready in 20 minutes." So I dropped in 40 minutes later and they had four of them set aside for me, topped them with a tower of vegan icing, and I was off. Our birthday girl said they were the best vegan gluten-free cupcakes she's ever had. So there. read more

So we love treats there! Every time is great especially gluten free you can rarely find good places

This place is heaven. Just heaven. You have to get here early to get your goodies because they run out fast! I actually get depressed thinking of all the weekends that I cannot make it here because it's a little out of the way. I am really hoping that they open another location. They have wonderful savory and sweet items to choose from. Please stay open longer or get another location. I'm greedy! I went here one morning too late and all they had left was quiche. Of course I wanted an espresso brownie or a smores brownie, but I thought why not? I'll give the quiche a try. And wow. Just wow. I inhaled a fluffy and moist slice of nirvana with a hint of cheddar and dill. I sipped on my coffee and sat at little bistro table inside. My day was made. So, I added the quiche to the list of items that I love there. Cherbourg Bakery has the gluten-free baked goods perfected. read more

Everything is Gluten Free here. All the pastries I've had there are excellent. I'd give it a 5 star, but every time I've gone in, the service has been kind of cold. Polite, but not warm or friendly. Good thing the pastries are so good! read more

The happiness this place bring my diet restricted wife is life changing. Cinnamon rolls, blueberry muffins and lemon bars were absurdly good, gluten free or not. read more

Guys. The blueberry muffin. THIS is a blueberry muffin. This is no dense and dry blueberry muffin with three blueberries in it (I'M LOOKING AT YOU WHOLE FOODS!) but wonderfully crumbly, moist, packed with blueberries, and DELICIOUS. That blueberry muffin. read more

What a gem. Not only is a gluten free bakery a rarity but they're offerings were fantastic. Nice texture and great taste

This was a fantastic find on our cross country trip! Cherbourg is a gluten free bakery with baked goods and breakfast items. We ordered the strata, lemon bars, and chocolate donuts. The strata was incredible, and I was thrilled to find the owner has a blog with the recipe posted. I always make strata for Christmas morning, and I'm going to use her recipe next time! The lemon bars were so good too, I wish we were locals but grateful we can try some of the delicious recipes at home. We'll be back on our next trip through Ohio! read more

My friend and I came across this cute bakery on the way to our friend's house, where we were headed empty-handed. Luckily, we took a wrong turn and found Cherbourg! There wasn't much left when we got there, which to me is a good sign. Everything is baked fresh, and when it's gone- it's gone. We got two of everything that was left: double lemon bars (apparently, their most popular item), espresso brownies, and some sort of pumpkin chocolate chip bar. The lemon bars were delicious...no wonder they are the most popular! They have the perfect balance of tartness to sweetness. These lemon bars were the first to disappear among our friends! The espresso brownies were so moist and didn't have an overwhelming coffee flavor; I could have eaten a whole box of these suckers. I didn't care for the chocolate chip pumpkin bar, but it was moist and soft- it was our least favorite. The prices are a little high here but worth it. Everything made at Cherbourg is gluten and nut free (who knew gluten-free baked goods could be so yummy), so no need to worry about who has what allergy if you are bringing goodies from here. Can't wait to take another wrong turn on the way to my friend's and "accidentally" run into this bakery again! read more

Definitely a gem. I'd like to see more GF AND DF products. When I stopped in, there was only one option for gluten-free AND dairy free. I understand that it makes things difficult yet most people I've met who are GF are also sensitive to dairy, so it would be nice to have a one-stop shop :) I did buy a few things - donuts and lemon bars. They were delicious! Lemon bars were a little too sweet for me, but I like things tart. So if you love your sweets SWEET, I think this is a perfect place for you. Enjoy! read more

Haven't been reviewing much since I've been relegated to a gluten-free diet. But this place is the bomb!!! Haven't tried one thing that I wasn't satisfied with....so far I've tried -mocha brownies -s'more bars -Pumpkin bars -at least three kinds of donuts -several muffins -madeleines (some savory) -strata -probably more, but I'm getting too hungry to continue.... Anyway, it is very very small. You can watch them making the items by hand. The people who work there are very friendly. You can tell that they like each other, like what they do, and are proud of their products. I've taken their rosemary polenta cake and lemon pound cake to work events and people loved them. If you have family or friends who are gluten-free, they are probably used to being left out when it comes to breaking bread with friends. You seriously have to introduce them to Cherbourg. There will be nothing there they can't eat because the whole facility is glutenfree (and nut free). Those of you who can eat gluten, I promise you-you won't miss it!!! read more

I have celiac disease and this bakery is a gluten free delight. It's so great to be able to have those treats I miss so much. They do birthday cakes as well. Get there early if you want something specific or call ahead to order. They sell out quickly. Doughnuts are to die for. read more

I love pie. I love pie so much that for years, instead of a cake, I received a birthday peach pie. Then, in 2009 tragedy hit. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. Eff. Geri and the rest of the Cherbourg team has reunited me with all that is good about dessert. For the first time in three years, I received a delicious, fresh baked peach pie, handmade by Geri herself from Cherbourg. Not only was it amazing with its flaky crust and fresh peaches, but it was super affordable. Two berry pies later, and I'm a believer in Geri's pies. But I'm also a believer in her lemon bars, s'mores bars, pay day cookies, tiramisu cookies, cream puffs (!!!), muffins, black tie cupcakes... how do I stop? I'm on the Paula Deen train to diabetes as we speak, but I'm thankful everyday that a place like Cherbourg exists in Columbus. Glutards like me struggle to find baked goods that hit the spot, and I'll tell ya, this is the place to find 'em. Also- don't pass up the egg strata. With an olive oil and sea salt bread base, goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, olives, and spices, this is an awesome way to kick off your day if you're gluten-free (even if you're not.. it's still awesome). read more

I tried this bakery on the way home from the airport. Let me just say . . . Everything was amazing!!!! I don't have to eat gluten free but if I did I would not be missing out on delicious baked items. This is a must try!!!! read more

Although I just popped in to Cherbourg Bakery for what amounted to 5 minutes, I had a very pleasant experience. The young lady at the counter took the time to explain what every menu item was, and was very patient after several failed credit card payment attempts. I have been meaning to come in for a long time and I'm so glad I finally stopped in! And I almost forgot: everything was delicious! I got a lemon bar, some sort of savory cheddar biscuit thing, and a sugar cookie with buttercream icing for my picky husband. read more

I'm not a huge muffin person, but Cherbourg bakery makes the most heavenly, unbelievably delicious muffin you will ever eat. We have a co worker who will bring in pastries from here, and I always request more! And on top of everything, they are gluten and nut free! I am excited to try more stuff from here! read more

Absolutely fell in love on Christmas with this bakery as I tried the iced sugar cookies. They are so delish I can not say enough about them. If you have a fix for sugar and icing then please order two....you'll thank me. I went to the bakery myself just yesterday and ordered a spiced carrot muffin, an espresso brownie (and of course two isc) all of which are gone now. The muffin was the best I've had ever. The brownie cured my illness of chocolate deprivation with perfection. Go. Order. Eat. Be happy. read more

It is a huge delight to find a gluten-nut-free bakery near my home in Bexley, OH. I've sampled a lot of their baked goods and tea, it's all great. My disappointment is that a lot of them have dairy and white sugar which I am trying to avoid. They also do not serve breakfast sandwiches with meat (sausages/bacon,etc). The prices is on the steep side, so I can only come at least once a month. Service is friendly - quite a few servers knew a little bit of sign language to my delight!! Atmosphere is cute, cozy and small. People are always coming and going. I hope to bring more friends here. read more

Cherbourg is amazing. My husband has Celiac, so we started going there to get some treats for him, but the gluten-free goodies are now the favorites of the rest of the family also. I have been disappointed by almost every regular gluten donut since tasting Cherbourg's (especially the cinnamon), and my children (ages 4 and 2) both ask regularly if we can go to Cherbourg for zucchini loaf. Imagine a toddler in the backseat cheering, "keeeneee! keeeneeee!" Every time we go I'm surprised by the reasonable prices (sometimes cheaper than a typical bakery, which is amazing because I know how much more gluten free baking supplies cost). The service is always friendly, they accomodate call-ahead orders with ease (a must for the cream puffs, crescent rolls and anything else you'll be sad if they're out of), and there are so many great choices. We particularly love the s'mores bars, zucchini loaf, donuts, and lemon bars. Someday when our children are less like wild animals we look forward to sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee with our treats! read more

There was a time when Cherbourg was beloved as a gluten-free bakery by its devoted early clientele. Now it is that and more: Cherbourg is widely praised -- very highly -- as a bakery. The treats are a delight for all. The coffee is swiftly made one pour-over cup at a time, so each cup is just right. And the service is even sweeter. Such generosity and graciousness! Such hospitality! read more

As someone who's had a nut allergy most of their life, when I discovered this place I was so excited! I hadn't had a donut in yeeeeears so I really wanted to have one. Sadly, we got there in the late afternoon on a Saturday & the had run out. I got a granola bar, cream puff, & a cream-filled cupcake. I hadn't had a granola bar in almost 10 years & this one was the best one I've ever had. The rest was so good as well but the homemade chewy granola bar was the highlight of my visit. While most of this stuff I could make at home, it was nice to visit a bakery & buy something from it that wasn't water because of fear of a deadly reaction. I will definitely want to visit again soon. read more

Absolutely delectable! The variety and taste were equally impressive. Grapefruit doughnut? Yes please! read more

Popped in here quickly during a morning of errands. Pleasantly surprised by the variety of treats available. Was only planning get a pour over coffee (the only option - and for good reason) but the large, gluten free blueberry muffin with crumble topping wouldn't stop calling my name. It was outstanding!!! I was half expecting it to be missing "something" (gluten) but you can't even tell. It was chock full of delicious blueberries and had that perfect balance of sweetness. Perhaps it's because I was able to eat it soon after purchase, but it was incredibly moist and not dried out like some big muffins. I can't wait to go back to try the other treats! read more

This is my favorite little gluten free bakeries. They were making treats for Thanksgiving and agreed to set aside a strawberry scone for me the next day. My favorite is the smores bar and cookies. But really who am I kidding I love it all. If you have gluten issues this place needs to be in your rotation! read more

So much flavor and excellent service. She remembered me after just one visit. My son has a friend with food allergies so I like to pick up treats here when he comes over. The kids love the cookies and cupcakes. I recommend the lemon bars and brownies. read more

Cherbourg Bakery is a cute and quaint little shop located right around the corner from the Drexel. So cute, in fact, that I want to pinch their cheeks and squeal with delight! Specializing in gluten-free (and nut-free) decedent treats, Cherbourg bakery has one of the best brownies I have ever tasted. And you would never know it by looking at it. Unassuming it stands in the case, lightly dusted with powdered sugar. But take one bite and you'll see how the taste and texture is so rich and complex. The secret ingredient must be espresso powder, but even I don't think I can recreate this delicious chocolate staple. The lemon bar is equally as complex in flavor, but the gluten-free crust is, well, obviously gluten-free. It has the slightly grainy texture that is so hard to overcome.with gluten-free restrictions. I've also tried a pumpkin bar with chocolate chips that was out of this world, with none of the graininess found in the lemon bar. Even for those not on a gluten-free or nut-free diet, Cherbourg Bakery is a must for their chocolate brownie! read more

Amazing service and experience. Highly recommend if you are gluten-free or just want to try something new. Very inclusive restaurant.

Still 5 stars. My family and I have been eating here for a very long time and it's still excellent. The bakery has really carved out it's spot here in Columbus and Geri will be opening another location in Cypress of Cincinnati soon as well. We are excited to visit. Pour over coffee and baked goods are still amazing and the quality is still top notch. Still made with farm fresh eggs and farm butter from happy grass grazing cows. Something husband and I both appreciate. An added bonus is a couple of years ago she made it competley dye free as well. So no gluten, nuts, or dyes but still all the taste and texture you would expect from a fine bakery. Coffee still takes awhile being that its pour over and made to order so let them know you want coffee right away so they can get it started as you mull over which treat, or two or three, you will buy. Every Fall I look forward to the seasonal pumpkin bars and spiced doughnuts. This most recent Winter she offered egg nog and peppermint stick doughnuts that have become something to look forward to as well. In the Spring and Summer I lean towards the citrus side of things with the lemon bars and pink lemonade doughnuts and on hot days I get an iced coffee. Everything she offers is good. I miss the polenta cake though. For some reason, even though they said it was a top seller, they don't bake it for everyday anymore. They can still be special ordered. If you are ever in and it happens to be offered do yourself a favor and get a slice. The last few times I have gone they have had cream puffs out. They used to be special order but sometimes they had extras and sold them in the case. I'm hoping that they are a new daily staple because forget Schmidt's. These cream puffs are lighter with just enough bite but still so airy in your mouth. Honestly I don't know how they can be this texture and be gluten free. I'm happy to see this bakery has not only stuck around but is expanding and I wish her well! read more

As someone who has been eating gluten free most of my life due to Celiac Disease, this place is my dream come true. EVERYTHING here is gluten free! It's also all not just gluten free, but it's actually GOOD. A lot of times I will get gluten free baked goods that are ~okay~ but every single thing that I have had from here is incredible. They also have a variety of vegan options as well which is very nice. They serve local coffee which is also a bonus and the customer service is always great. I could rave on and on about this place, but truly what I like most is how "normal" it makes me feel. I can stroll in and order ANYTHING I want without having to ask to read ingredients, etc etc. I highly highly recommend this place to those who eat gluten free and those who don't! I've brought many friends here who are able to eat gluten and they love it as well! read more

Delicious gluten free treats! I cannot wait until the next time im here again to grab some chocolate dipped doughnuts. They were absolute heaven. Price is affordable and to be honest less than other popular overpriced gluten free bakeries. Portions were spot on. Plenty of options to choose from when I was there. Very friendly service. I love supporting local small businesses and I will give this place praise to everyone I can because it really is that good. Gluten free or not please try this place. read more
