As a celiac who recently moved to Victoria, I was excited to try Origin Bakery. The Almond Slice and chocolate ganache cupcakes are to die for... absolutely delicious! I have enjoyed many different GF breads from independent bakeries across the country (coast to coast) and the bread here is very decent - not my favourite, but WAY better than commercial, so definitely recommend. This past weekend, with the anniversary sale, I made a large order and was thrilled with all of it with the exception of the lemon curd. I was very disappointed in that the curd was a brownish colour, rather than yellow, and had a burnt/caramelized taste along with flecks of dark brown near burnt pieces and was, in my opinion, not edible. I wrote to the bakery to ask what could be done, and the response I received was that they make it that way on purpose and that due to personal preference, no refund or a new container would be provided. Fair enough. But also good to know that I will NEVER order the lemon pie from the bakery or again order the safe lemon curd to use in my own baking. Disappointing. It has left a bad taste in my mouth - literally and figuratively.

We picked up a couple loaves of bread for my Sister with Celiac this afternoon & she was ECSTATIC. We'll be back! Appreciate you guys - thanks!

Love their Portuguese tarts (although they vary in size/amount of filling from day to day). But it's OK because I just love that they are available at all! Good variety of baked goods. Including pizza and gluten free! There can be long wait times sometimes, especially if the same one staff member has to handle the line, barrista and baked good packing! Nice to have in the neighborhood, good outdoor sitting. Baked goods do vary in presentation/suze/taste from day to day/week to week

A very small bakery with a large wood fired oven with which they make a variety of delicious baked goods. Some goods are gluten and other ingredients free. I only left out an "Atmosphere" rating because it is simply a small counter to purchase goods. There is no place to sit.

NOT great for someone who has Celiac as very limited GF options (no GF burger buns) - they are clear that they cannot guarantee cross contamination, etc. HOWEVER, we did take a chance and ordered the Bacun Crafty Mac N Cheese dish with GF pasta - it was delicious! And so was the London Fog! The staff are friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere was relaxing. Nice to have tasty Vegan food in Victoria!
