How gluten-free bakeries work in Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s two dedicated gluten-free bakeries sit close together on the south side, in Marchmont and Bruntsfield, a short walk across the Meadows from the Old Town. Both open Wednesday to Sunday only, so plan Mondays and Tuesdays around that. The other places on this page bake with wheat and offer some gluten-free bakes or cakes to order.
In the UK, “gluten-free” on food means 20 parts per million or less. Some gluten-free bakes use gluten-free wheat starch or oats; if you avoid either, ask. Where a bakery holds Coeliac UK’s accreditation, we show it only when its own site says so.
At the counter, ask three things. Is everything here gluten-free, or only some bakes? Is it baked here, in your own kitchen? And in a mixed bakery: how are the gluten-free bakes kept and boxed apart?
