Any cafes in ED serve gluten and dairy free cake?

[indiepanda]

My food intolerances have gone crazy and I am not sure if that means I'm stuck with just having a black coffee and nothing to go with it when I go to a cafe.

[Inkmaiden]

I'm fairly sure they have some gluten free and vegan cakes at The Dish and Spoon on Cheltenham Road.

[indiepanda]

Thanks, I've never been there so a good one to try out. Shame they seem to be closed on Mondays which is my day off :-(

[Inkmaiden]

You could also try Homemade or Cafe Viva on Choumert Road- have seen gluten free cakes in both of them. Not sure about dairy free.

I don't spend all my time in cafes and thinking about cake, honestly.

[indiepanda]

Lol, thank you.

I don't want to resort to baking myself as even a gluten and dairy free cake won't be calorie free, but I do want somewhere for an occasional treat that I won't react badly to so all tips appreciated.

I don't think Homemade do gluten-free stuff, just wheat-free?

I may be wrong.

[Inkmaiden]

They do polenta cake sometimes- I thought that was gluten free. But I may be wrong as well.

Bambuni on Evelina Road in Nunhead sometimes do a orange and chocolate gluten free cake which is delicious.

Just to second Inkmaiden's suggestion, Dish and Spoon do indeed do a gluten and dairy free cake. And my sister-in-law (who seems to have every food allergy possible) loved it.

Just slightly off-topic, mm mum is celiac and for Christmas we have got her a day at River Cottage learning how to minimise the inconvenience of the intolerance and have fun in the kitchen, in case that floats your boat at all!

Hi there, a friend of mine bakes a delicious selection of gluten free and dairy free cakes that are sold at The Blue Brick Cafe and Cafe on the Rye which I would highly recommend tasting

hey

Im currently trying to get more cafes to stock dairy egg and gluten free cakes in ED.

Drop me an email on [email protected] if you are interested in the results, I look forward to when every cafe has something that coeliacs and vegans can eat!!

I think I've seen gluten and dairy free cake in Andersen & co on bellenden road.

Franklins on Lordship Lane sell products from the WAG Bakery, not exactly a cafe (they have some tables and chairs outside) but defintely worth popping into to pick up one of the delicious chocolate tarts! I am not sure if the products are vegan though...

I would highly recommend visiting the actual bakery in Brixton Market if you are in the area (http://www.wagfreefood.com/). They sell an amazing range of wheat and gluten free food including all kinds of cakes and pastries, pies and even fish and chips!

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. Am not vegan, just dairy and gluten intolerant.

[Homemade Cafe]

Hiya- we do occasionally have gluten free cakes but we're getting more and more requests for them so I'm thinking we should have one on all the time. We have a granola bar on at the moment which has no wheat in it if that helps. Depends if you can eat oats. It has a small amount of yoghurt icing on it (dairy) and contains butter. We also have coconut macaroons which are wheat free and always fruit yo-yos (delicious fresh fruit leather). If you ask us, we have lactose free milk in the fridge and can fix you up a banging soya hot choccy whenever you like.

I'll make sure there is a gluten/fairy free option on more often! Please do introduce yourself to us and feel free to bring in recipes or tell us what you like :)

You poor thing - gluten and dairy-free cake = fun-free eating.

Trust me, eating dairy is even less fun than avoiding.... has very unpleasant impact when I do :-(

[Tom Micklewright]

Would be great to see some vegan cakes at Homemade Cafe!!

[pexprincess]

Ellies bakehouse on Choumert Road, next to cafe viva always have at least one gluten free cake.

[josephineB]

Literally just ate a gluten free cake in Blackbird Bakery. It was a horseshoe shaped thing and it was delicious..

[indiepanda]

Thanks for the replies. Seems there are lots of gluten free cakes around but not many dairy free! Unfortunately dairy is the one that seems to cause the worse problems.

Thanks Homemade for the offer of more gluten and dairy free options, very kind.
