Tempting Treats: 8 Best Gluten-Free Bakeries in Madrid Solo Traveler’s Guide

Bakeries-in-Madrid

Hey there, fellow gluten-free foodies!

Are you trying to find gluten-free bakeries in Madrid? Don’t worry I got your back.

Although it’s not simple, Madrid offers more gluten-free options than most other Spanish cities. Since freshly baked bread and other baked goods are typically the hardest to locate, I try to concentrate my recommendations for gluten-free travelers on places to explore in a certain city.

Spanish people adore bread. Frequently, it serves as the primary ingredient. For instance, toast topped with tomato sauce and olive oil is a common Spanish breakfast dish. Therefore, I want to research where I may acquire some fresh, gluten-free pan for myself in Spain! That’s why, while I traveled in Madrid, I set out to discover a few excellent gluten-free bakeries.

Although I don’t eat bread daily, I find it quite difficult to survive in countries where bread is a major part of the diet, such as Spain, Italy, and France. People may be seen all over you, eating bocadillos, pulling off pieces of baguette to take with the Jamon and cheese, and using large slices of warm bread from the bread basket to wipe their plates.

Are you short on time? Here are my recommendations for the top 8 gluten-free bakeries in Madrid; I’ve eaten at nearly all of them, with one or two exceptions.

Sound good? Now let’s get started!

0% Gluten

The idea behind 0% Gluten is straightforward yet brilliant: it’s a place where people with celiac disease and other allergies may eat without worrying. Imagine being able to eat anything and everything without worrying about the slightest, including salads, hot cocoa, bread, and pastries. With a 100% gluten-free guarantee and fresh baking done the day you indulge yourself, they’ve got you covered.

Let’s talk treats, shall we?

0% Gluten offers a wide variety of baked goods, including pizzas, focaccias, tarts, muffins, cakes, brioches, cookies, and biscuits. I’ve almost finished the menu, and I promise you that every meal is a gluten-free revelation.

They also have savory treats, so it’s not only about the baked goodies. Imagine a wide selection of drinks, salads, sandwiches, and pizzas to satisfy all of your cravings. This little chain of bakeries and restaurants can be found throughout Spain’s major cities, and trust me when I say that anyone with a gluten, lactose, or egg allergy will find paradise here.

Toma Café

In June 2023, I discovered Toma Café, a cozy safe haven tucked away in Madrid’s trendy and bustling Malasaña district. I have to say, this place is a coffee lover’s paradise. Their goal was always to make the best coffee and espresso possible, and they certainly succeeded in this regard.

In my opinion, celicioso is one of the best gluten-free bakeries and a coffee shop. Imagine a sweet little place that serves an abundance of treats, like cheesecakes, brownies, cupcakes, slices of cake, banoffee pie, and delicious cookies.

La Celiacateca

Let me tell you about one of my favorite places to visit in Madrid, La Celiacateca, which is tucked away in the Lista neighborhood. And believe me when I say that this place is essentially heaven on earth if you have a sweet taste like myself.

La Celiacateca is well-known for its incredibly decadent freshly baked goods. I’m talking about donuts, you know, loaded with custard or wrapped in chocolate, that are so delicious they ought to be outlawed. What about the butter cookies? Let’s not even talk about me. They have pastries, cakes, pies, and magdalenas that will make you wonder if you should really follow that diet.

Here’s the story twist: this isn’t just about getting a sugar rush. La Celiacateca is a master of the savory dish. There are plenty of flavors of empanadas and crispy boules of bread that would make any fan of carbohydrates weak in the knees. Oh my, and the specialties. When I last visited their Facebook page, they were serving up something like an incredible French toast.

The main attraction of the performance is the gluten-free brioche. And believe me when I say that it’s revolutionary. Buttery, chewy, and freshly made every morning. You’ll question why there wasn’t always such delicious gluten-free food.

Casa Brioche has a wide variety of fluffy, delicious delights and is similar to a wonderland for gluten-free foodies.

The best aspect is that their prices are affordable. This bakery provides a sweet deal without sacrificing taste or diversity when compared to other bakeries.

It’s time to discuss their breakfast deal. This business is a lifesaver for someone like me who can never seem to locate a fast coffee and a gluten-free pastry for less than 10 euros. Imagine paying just 3.50 euros to purchase your preferred croissant or muffin and a cup of coffee. The small things, like freshly baked pastries, fragrant coffee, and news updates, are what really make this place seem like home.

Pastelería La Oriental Sin Gluten

Let me finally tell you about La Oriental, a secret gem in Madrid that has captured my gluten-free heart. What makes this location special? They have two locations that are adjacent to one another. While the other is less of a gluten-free haven, the former is. The best part is that you won’t feel left out at either location because of the sweetest owner ever.

The owner simply listened to her clients and came up with an excellent idea to go gluten-free. She dedicated one entire side of La Oriental to gluten-free delicacies as more and more people were unable to enjoy her treats, removing any possibility of gluten transmission.
