Best Gluten Free Bakeries York Near Me

4worldlovers: Doe brings colour and calm. Come and visit, absorb the surroundings: The rainbow walls, the glitter tassels, the multi-coloured chairs and the eye-catching murals. Escape from reality, oh and enjoy a doe-nut whilst you're there.

4worldlovers: Most big ideas start with tiny roots and our bakery began life on our kitchen table in the heart of York.

After a full night baking, we sold our bread at a market stall and hand-delivered a few loaves to our neighbours and the local community pub. We couldn’t have been any smaller.


But, we did see an enormous appetite for ‘real bread’ – the antithesis of mass-produced additive-loaded supermarket loaves – and the fledgling Bluebird found a new nest: a restored gig-house, now our Malton bakery and shop.


This was closely followed by a second residence on York’s famous Shambles, a third shop in bold and buzzy Leeds’ Kirkgate Market and (exactly ten years after we started all this) a new bakery and coffee shop in Acomb.


We are Al and Nicky Kippax – and we’re joined by brilliant bakers and bread buffs who help to shape our small enterprise and keep it ticking over nicely. Our vision is just the same as it was back in 2011: to bring back the lost tradition of hand-shaped, artisan loaves which are nutritious and delicious.


Ideally eaten for breakfast in Paris along with a café au lait - but if you can't make it, our Yorkshire version is a classic. Slice for bruschetta or serve with olive oil & balsamic, tapenade or salami and cheese - there's no end to what you can stick on your baguette.


The original roost, our smallest shop is attached to the cake bakery so all those sweet treats travels just a few small yards from oven to shelf.


If you can squeeze past tourists taking photos of the shop window, inside our Shambles shop there’s something for every bonafide loaf-lover.

Little Shambles is the perfect setting for artisan bread and we can tell you about every loaf, what it might pair well with and whether there’s a daily special you shouldn’t miss.

Nowhere embodies a big-city buzz more than Kirkgate – the largest undercover market in Europe – and we’ve joined some of the best producers Leeds has to offer. If you need some help finding us, just head up to the top of Fishmonger Row.

Our Acomb bakery and coffee shop is now open – and we’re really looking forward to welcoming you. Everything we make is baked freshly on the premises, travelling just a few short yards from oven to shelf. Pick up your daily bread from our shop – or feel free to linger longer, for a Roost coffee and a bite to eat.

You’ll find our newest bakery & coffee shop set among the rolling hills of Holme Valley – in the heart of bustling Holmfirth. Famed for Last of the Summer Wine, the Picturedrome and a brilliant Folk Festival, Holmfirth is a special place with a supportive community. We’re thrilled to have joined forces with our bread-loving-bestie, Hilary, to bring our good baked goods here.

4worldlovers: Simple food, boldly made. For us it has always been about the way we make people feel.

Focaccia, pizzetta, tortillas, savoury scones and ham hock toasties jostle alongside our Cornish pasties and viennoiseries. They're all so irresistible that perhaps we shouldn’t mention our famous cheese straws too...

Cornish Bakery is probably baking its fresh and delicious food somewhere near you.

4worldlovers: We have two locations along Museum Street in York, just two doors apart. On the way into town from the train station, opposite Museum Gardens and 1 minute from York Minster.

We are inspired by seasonal, quality produce. Our aim back in 2013 was to build a place we would like to go ourselves for breakfast/brunch/lunch or just coffee & cake. We continue this to this day which is why we have never compromised on ingredients or generosity. Our aim was always, & continues to be, to bring our vision of northern hospitality to life at our cafe and coffee shop in the centre of York.
