Buns & Roses Organic Bakery — Restaurant in Greater Strathcona

Tried this place for the first time today. WOW, I had an AMAZING grilled GF sandwich (he used a GF pizza crust and kind of made a panini idea for an extra few dollars. I got the butter chicken and spinach with cheese. SO GOOD! The texture was amazing. I will be going back again for another one! The nice gentleman behind the counter let me know all my options for someone with celiac. (Just FYI this store does make non-gluten-free baked items like bread, etc). They even have posters on the wall about different grains that they use.

However, I also got some of the other baked goods, sadly, I would not purchase again. I got the GF oatmeal cookies (which i usually love this flavour) but from this company, the flavour was strange, undercooked, kind of gummy, the cinnamon roll fresh from the oven wasn't any better, texture was weird. I also got the rhubarb crumble, this one was ok. It came frozen and i let it thaw before eating.

Some GREATS and some...

I just wanted to inquire if they do have eggless cakes and instead of saying yes or no, the guy said we can't take order over phone, you have to come here to talk and his tone was very rude. I mentioned that I will come there to place the order but I just wanted a general price inquiry and how many days in advance do I have to place the order. The guy finally said, yes we do eggless cakes but can't tell you much unless you visit store. He was extremely rude had no courtesy to talk. Not going to...

Found out about this place about two years ago when having one of their gluten free pizza crusts at the now defunked park Allen restaurant, and I drive 45 mins every weekend to support them. The staff is very friendly and helpful in choosing what's gluten free or egg free etc and the prices are very good. They have it set up that u can enjoy coffee and other Hot foods in their comfortable chairs and tables and there's even a fridge with stuff for u to use as well! Now that the pandemic has been in full swing all of those extra perks have of course been removed for client and staff safety, but I'm sure will return once the curve of the viruses has been flattened. Lots of people in the park Allen neighbourhood have been coming here for years and it's nice to see the family feel that this...
