My girlfriend is gluten free, I am not. I understand why she eats certain things, because it is the best she can get... I often cringe at the thought of some gluten free food I have had, because I'm lucky and can eat "the real thing". That said, there are places that you stumble across, like Edible Options, that really do a great job. This was our first time there. We had a Boston Creme donut, a vanilla glazed(I think), a French Cruller, and a cupcake. The cupcake and French Cruller were great, just as good as a traditional bakery that has solid standards. The donuts were pretty good overall, but they tasted like the oil needed to be changed, or they were just slightly overcooked. Either way, they were better than 90% of the donuts I have tried up to this point, so I still see it as a win. Service was good, but I did feel a little pressured to rush. I know it's a busy place, but since we aren't regulars we had a couple of questions. I don't feel like we took a lot of time, but that underlying push to keep it moving was there. We'll be back when we are in the area, my sweets loving girlfriend will be sure of it. read more

I was really let down when I purchased a celebratory cake. The red velvet cake was decent in and of itself, however the topping and filling were terrible. Since the topping was too sugary, the majority of the party attendees--including the children--swiped it off ( and there was alot of it!). You would assume that a bakery with a health-conscious focus would offer a topping other than water and pure icing sugar. A vegan cream cheese substitute, or whipped vegan butter, could be added? Pure icing sugar, water, and a barely detectable raspberry flavouring made up the filling. The cost would undoubtedly cover some vegan substitutes. This is a good option if you enjoy sugar; if not, go somewhere else. read more

Soooooo gooood!!!!! Bagels are out of this world. French Crullers literally made me cry. I haven't had these in 7 years, since before my celiac diagnosis. And tasting that fluffy, melt in your mouth cruller was so emotional, never ever thought I would enjoy something like this again. The bread is phenomenal, large loaves for sandwiches. The cheese and herb bread i can eat by itself as a snack. I put some Brie on there, and i tasted a little corner of heaven. The staff is friendly and the store is super clean. I would give them a ten if I could. Definitely buy all the things here!! read more

I am surprised when I see 5 star reviews here. The staff is lovely but the desserts are grainy way too sweet and had a real disappointment with the chicken meat pie. The crust was nice but the filling was just boiled veg no sauce no seasoning.... terrible. There breads are good when they have stock. Always a gamble what they will have Closing at 5PM closed mon and tues oly open til 3 on Sundays for people who work this is hard. Time y to up the recipes for desserts for sure and maybe a bit more tasty savories read more

I visited my friends in St. Catharine's for New Years, from NYC. I am gluten free and on the FODMAPS diet. Finding baked goods is difficult and expensive, even in NYC. This bakery is phenomenal!!! My friend's dad knows the owner and recommended we check it out. I could not be happier. They have it all- cookies, cinnamon rolls, cakes, bread, tarts. And you can see the care they take as they bake behind the counter. I tasted the bread, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, and biscuits and each was lovely. The textures, flavors, and density of each matched their gluten filled partners. I hope they start shipping so I can enjoy it down here. This is a must for anyone with dietary restrictions. They also do vegan, nut free, and corn free. Absolutely amazing. read more

We happened to be in St. Catharines and found this place through a quick yelp search under "gluten-free" and boy, am I glad that we did. After being disappointed that Beechwood Donuts didn't carry any gluten free options, Edible Options quickly saved the day. The interior of the bakehouse is welcoming and inviting, yet chic and modern. The woman behind the counter was very helpful and patient with us as we slowly made our decisions on which sweet treat to indulge in. They had MANY baked goods to choose from- cookies, cakes, cupcakes, tarts, and cakes! It was also amazing that they had several vegan and dairy free options. A must-visit for people who have lots of allergies! They also have lots of drinks with dairy free creamers and milks. We also decided to purchase a loaf of their gluten-free bread in the multigrain variety. SO glad we did. It is hands down the best gluten free bread I have ever tasted- and I'm from Toronto. Tastes better than a lot of the non-GF breads I used to eat before my allergies. Do yourself a favour and check this place out ASAP- whether you're gluten-free or not. They'll definitely have something you like. And definitely try the bread. The. Bread. I'll be back for SURE! read more

I've never been disappointed with anything I have ever bought from Edible Options. There bread is out of this world, you would never know it was gluten free. Their "cheesecakes" are to die for and their cupcakes make me drool just thinking about them. The staff are awesome and so willing to help! I can't say enough great things about this gluten free bake house! read more

Simply amazing. Edible Options made a gluten free cake for my granddaughter's (Emma's) birthday. It was so delicious and sweetly decorated. Thank you so much! read more

Food is very good, but I wish they had a nutrian guide to let us know how many calories and sugar is in any of this. Specially for people with ciliac and Diabetes. I found there bread better tasting then glutino. Which used to be my fave. read more

*Insert happy cry here* Everything - and I mean everything - is edible and safe for my family. Gluten free dairy free. We ordered a lemon tart, a Whoopie pie, two cupcakes, and a baguette (which they provided dairy free butter). We're from Chicagoland and it was worth the stop on our way to Niagara Falls. So so wonderful! If you plan ahead, call and place an order for the day you are coming to have breads made. If you're in the Toronto/Niagara area and need birthday cakes, pizza dough, pot pies, breads, hamburger/hot dog buns, pizzza dough, or cookie dough that's safe for your allergy family - THIS IS IT. Bring an insulated cooler and ice packs if you have a long drive. read more

I've gotten food here a few times, and everything has been wonderful. I special ordered a birthday cake (chocolate with almond-ganache filling) and it was AWESOME. Everything from the bakery is gluten-free but they also cater to a number of other dietary considerations, including vegan, dairy-free, sugar-free, and paleo. In their showcase, they clearly label which foods fall into which categories. One caution, though: they have been known to sell out. read more

More folks need to review this place and put it on the map because it is outstanding, decadent, delish, food allergy suffers cornucopia of delightfullness...I think you get the drift! I have travelled all over and I have never, never ever been in such an amazing bakery ever before, with or without food allergies, but imagine my surprise on a dreary Sunday when I stopped in to enquire if they had gluten/dairy free bread and then to be told the entire store is just put me over the top! The assortment of goodies from cupcakes to cookies to avocado brownies and more...is absolutely astounding. I couldn't contain myself and had to buy 2 loaves of their bread, 2 of their shortbread cookies (layered with jam) and a couple of to die for chocolate chip cookies. And if the baked goods are not enough of an excellent review all on their own, then go in and meet the owner and her staff! They all on their own are as sweet as their treats...how refreshing is that to have an entire store of great people!!!! The boss was in making treats to thank her staff for coming in during on of the worst storms in their history...and she even offered treats to me!!!!!!! I think I've died and gone to heaven! Placed an order for the homemade bagels for pickup on Tuesday...same experience again today! I love this place and I will be coming here as often as possible while in the area for the next month! P.S....order the bagels! Their to die for! read more

My husband has Celiac disease and we live in Brampton. Edible Options has "hands down" the best gluten free bread around. It's worth the drive to St. CATHARINES!! read more
