Johnny Doughnuts

Location: San Fransisco, California

“Update: we went yesterday and tried some new flavors including their ‘crodough’ a mix between a croissant and a doughnut. It was even filled with cream which is my favorite. They were so good!! Nut free donut shop in the Bay Area! I was told the owner has an allergy herself so completely nut free. They have a few locations, but I’ve gone to the one in San Francisco. Delicious donuts and great flavors! I believe they do have almond milk as an option to put in your coffee but that doesn’t really make me nervous. Definitely recommend!”

Mariposa Baking Company

Location: San Fransisco, California

“After hearing so many wonderful things about this bakery, I had a chance to visit it, and it exceeded all of my expectations! Dedicated gluten and peanut-free, they do use pecans, walnuts, and almonds, but as Emily mentioned, they take cross-contamination seriously. I would highly recommend the chocolate croissants and the spanakopita!”

French Corner Bakery

Location: Cambria, California

“My son had a delicious cinnamon roll and a croissant. Both were safe for him and were very good. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a clear designation of the pastries that had nuts or not. They did not use peanuts at all, only almonds and walnuts on a few. They were aware of cross-contamination issues as well. Good coffee and hot chocolate.”

Local Grind Coffee + Cafe

Location: Long Beach, California

“They had a lot of vegan and gluten free options which is nice. I don’t normally eat at coffee shops with my allergy kiddo but we had a good experience here. They told us what we could eat and that they hadn’t had any pastries with peanuts in a while. They did have some walnuts. No cashews or pistachios. My allergy kiddo could safely eat the pretzel croissant, which was amazing! She said it was the best she’d ever had. Super local and friendly place.”

Qargo Coffee

Location: Long Beach, California

“We came here since it was within walking distance of our hotel. The cafe is super cute. They had a nutrition chart and checked ingredients for us. My allergy kiddo had the pain au chocolate which doesn’t have nuts. The chocolate croissant does have almond and hazelnut. The biggest find here though was the vegan croissant! Great vibes and super helpful and friendly staff. Would come back here. Coffee was excellent, I got an oat milk latte. They use lavaaza coffee. They also have boba tea here which was good. My kiddo had the tropical boba safely.”

The Merchant

Melinda’s Gluten Free Bakery

Location: Capitola, California

“Dedicated gluten-free and peanut-free bakery in Capitola! I’ve found a lot of new bakeries popping up that are gluten-free + peanut-free but do use tree nuts, and found that there’s a lot of discrepancy in their allergen practices and cross-contact procedures. Melinda’s was the most tree nut allergy-friendly spot I’ve visited! None of their flour mixes contain nuts, so the only items that have tree nuts are pastries topped with them – it think it was just one with almonds! They also have a sandwich with pesto. They were fantastic about pulling stuff from different shelves, changing gloves, and keeping everything cross-contact free! They fill their cream puffs in the back after you order them so they’re super fresh, and I was so excited when the person working the register asked for a fresh glove change for a nut allergy before it was filled! Everything I got was so high quality and tasted delicious! Highly recommend the donuts, croissants, monkey bread, and breakfast sandwiches!”

Three Girls Vegan Downtown

Location: Guilford, Connecticut

“Three girls vegan has been serving delicious Italian cuisine for years. They recently opened a bakery at a second location in Connecticut. They serve bakery foods, breads and more. I went there on their third day since opening and enjoyed their croissants, focaccia, pain au chocolate, cupcakes and cookies. I also had their soft serve ice cream with chocolate dip on a cone. They have a few different soft serve flavors and a choice of chocolate or cherry dip and other toppings. They also make soft serve sundaes, shakes and ice cream cakes. Their soft serve is oat milk based. I believe they use almond milk as well. Their cones are gluten-free. Everything on their menu is dairy-free, vegan and delicious! I can’t wait to go back to try more items on their menu!”

Makahiki

Location: Kapolei, Hawaii

“Part of Disney Aulani resort, this restaurant serves breakfast and dinner. Ate here for both meals and had a wonderful experience. The attention to detail on allergens is superb, starting from the reservation where they proactively collect allergen information from guests to the check-in where they confirm, to the waitstaff who confirm again. They have allergen menus and the kitchen was able to handle my nut and legume allergies with ease. For the breakfast service, they even brought my my own safe basket of breads and pastries. I almost never eat baked goods out, and was almost in disbelief that I could eat a croissant in a restaurant. All allergen meals delivered separately with allergen flags on each item to confirm.”

Medici on 57th

Location: Chicago, Illinois

“I love Medici! Such a wonderful environment with great food and people. I’ve had so many things here, from pizza to burgers to shakes to croissants to bread to coffee to tea and the list is kinda never ending. There are a few items in the bakery that have nuts, and they always give me a warning if possible cross-contact, but I’ve never had an issue and they’re normally clean and thoughtful about my allergy. I don’t think there are any other nuts on their restaurant menu, but if there are there are few of them and the staff is fantastic about making a note and keeping my meal safe. During COVID, I ordered online for delivery from Medici and it was fantastic. No problems at all!”

Caffè Nero

Location: Boston, Massachusetts

“Omg!!! Just got my first ever croissant from here!! They have vegan croissants and a few vegan breakfast sandwich options that are all also nut free! They are all kept in the same case as other sandwiches with dairy and egg but they used a separate pan and paper to heat the sandwich for me. I’ve always been a Cafe Nero fan but this really made me even more of a fan.”

Belle’s Bread Japanese Bakery and Café

Location: Columbus, Ohio

“This is such a gem! It’s a bakery free of peanuts and they use limited tree nuts (walnut, hazelnut and chestnut). The items that are wrapped and in the main area (not in the fridge/case) all have the ingredients clearly listed on the back. They carry bread, sandwiches, amazing Japanese and French pastries, soft serve ice cream, coffee, tea and sodas. Everything is ultra fresh and absolutely delicious. We tried the croissant, chocolate croissant, chocolate cornet (GET IT), chocolate cake and a cream puff. Nothing is too sweet which allowed the quality of the ingredients to shine. Staff referred to an ingredients list while checking for the nut we avoid when we asked about items in the case and we were comfortable. Don’t hesitate to try this place if you can!”

“Wonderful French bakery with no peanuts. Walnuts are used only for walnut bread, not too many almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts, but they’re definitely present. I safely had Kaiserbrötchen, baguettes, and Croissants here—YUM! One little warning: the person I spoke with was not sure where the chocolate was sourced and potential contaminants so I would still avoid the pain au chocolat.”

“I went to a different location, but that one is not on spokin so I’m doing my review for this one. Everything on their menu is gluten free, which is why I went. I got there in the afternoon, but they still had a lot (if not all) of their products in stock. I talked to the lady behind the counter, explaining that I am allergic to a lot more than just gluten, handed her my French allergy card, and she checked every pastry they had!!! She had an ingredient table like the other bakery I mentioned, but looked at it herself. I probably could’ve asked to see it but I trusted her. I ended up getting a cream puff (very messy and sweet, but I thought it was delicious), a salted caramel eclair(same story just a little less messy and sweet), a croissant, and a pain au chocolat. I had never had any of these things before, so I was really excited. When I asked my mom to try a little of the p.a.c. she said it tasted good, like a normal one(my mom has no allergies) Overall an amazing experience!”

Land&Monkeys Turenne

Location: Paris, France

“I have never been more excited for something than I was after finding dairy free pastry options. Coming to Paris to study abroad it was my goal to find as many dairy free alternatives to known Paris foods as I can. Of course a croissant and pain au chocolat is a Paris staple. They had sooo many options; dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan options. They have their full allergen list on their website so I checked it out beforehand to get an idea of what I could eat because they do use nuts in their products. I also got a cinnamon roll which was okay but probably wouldn’t get it again. Going to miss this place when I have to leave.”

“This family owned bed and breakfast is amazing. I notified them of my celiac disease before we arrived and they were incredibly prepared. Every morning they made an incredible breakfast including a basket full of packaged gluten-free breads, croissants, and crackers to accompany the fresh eggs, fruits, meats, cheeses, and more. We ate like queens at this place every morning and ate fresh sandwiches and salads for lunches on a few days too when we stayed around the property. One of the few bed and breakfasts with a private beach. The only con is the amount of stairs at the property. We had an ocean view and our own private terrace for the most reasonable price we could find in Positano. This place is an absolute steal.”

“100% gluten-free bakery in Amsterdam. You will likely have to wait in line but it is well worth it as you’ll have some of the best options in front of you. I had the chocolate croissant and apple pie croissant, which were gluten-free and dairy-free. They were SO good, huge, and impressive for those who weren’t gluten-free. Make sure you check their hours as they are only open a few days of the week, but this is a perfect spot for a morning pastry and coffee.”
