lu & i — Restaurant in Montreal

This place is awesome. I have IBD and thus have to maintain a silly little anti-inflammatory diet, and it's exceptionally rare that I find a shop with freshly made pastries that I can actually eat without becoming dead. But everything in this godsend of a shop is both gluten-free and mostly cane sugar-free, (most of their baked goods are sweetened with maple sugar and/or coconut sugar) so there are tons of things I (and you as well, my hypothetical fellow dietarily restricted friend) can eat! I just ate a doughnut for the first time in like fifteen years and it was so good I feel like I could punch a hole in the sky.

Also, if you're ridiculous like me and choose to torture yourself by not drinking caffeine, the decaf coffee here is great, and has very little caffeine, which I can tell because I don't get anxiety from it lol

15/10 will go...

Very very very good cupcakes. I don't even normally like cupcakes but really wanted a treat and to try this place. The icing is soft instead of hard like normal cupcakes. And the ingredients are actually healthy, not just gluten free with highly processed ingredients like you find at many places.

Was very pleasantly surprised but the texture and moistness.

Looking forward to trying more from here, and fresh buckwheat baguettes the next time they are in stock! Nice service and cute little things for sale too like glasses,...

Every random month I type in google « paleo montréal » in the hopes that something new pops up that I can eat. Thankfully last month Lu & I popped up in my search and the excitement of finding this bakery did not disappoint!

Soo delicious and so stoked to have somewhere I can buy treats from that won’t hurt my belly. I’ve lived in gf/paleo heaven aka California and Oregon and this bakery is up there with the best I’ve had. Vanilla cupcake is truly incredible! Merci Lu & i, nouveau...
