Fully gluten free cafe but only opens on a Saturday! There was a queue (all coeliac tourists!) but I managed to get eclairs, an almond slice and a variety of cookies! Croissants and baguettes were long gone by the time we got there at noon. Three pastries and four cookies were €33 so not cheap but delicious!

Unfortunately arrived so late on in the day to Paris that everything had been sold 😭 Owner was so kind though and pulled out a coffee eclair from his secret stash and gave it to me free of charge. The eclair was incredible. Will definitely be going first thing in the am the next time I am in Paris

This was a wonderful experience! The baguette I purchased from Helmut Newcake was beyond my expectations. It tasted just like fresh bagettes should. It had the perfect texture, perfect flavor, and was still warm. The bread was flavorful and did not need any embellishment. The baker acquainted us with the components of the various pastry masterpieces that he offered. They all looked glorious and tasted sumptuous. This bakery exceeded my expectations. I wish we could come back over and over. While we were graciously received at the spur of the moment on a Saturday morning, preorders are recommended to reduce waste at this location. I'm so thankful to have been able to experience lovely french bread and pastries as part of my trip to France. It will always be a wonderful memory of my time in Paris.

Saturday only pop up shop with a selection of gluten free pastries. Just a short walk from the arc de Triomphe and Champs Élysées this is a can’t miss place if you are around on a Saturday. Everything I tried was delicious. Call ahead if you want to try something specific. The pastries were all amazing looking and there was a steady stream of customers. I hope they can expand to a larger place one day.

Thanks for your comment Peter. However the entire production is 100% gluten free. I am afraid that the saleswoman gave you a wrong explanation in english.. we will improve our wording in other languages ;-)

Wow! I would go to Helmut Newcake every day if I could. Most amazing GF pastries I have ever had - truly don’t taste gf. This place is an absolute must if you’re in Paris and gluten free. I stopped for lunch on my last day in Paris. Had a fabulous quiche and Paris Brest. Also picked up a ham and cheese sandwich for the flight home (the baguette was to die for!) and bought some pastries to bring home to my family. Everything was absolutely fabulous. Can not recommend enough. Definitely more of a quick lunch/bakery vibe. They have about 5 or so tables in the back.

Absolutely delicious!!!! We went twice during our trip to Paris. We would have gone more but they are closed on Sundays and Mondays and only open 11-7 on the other days. Being Celiac, I felt like I was missing a huge part of the Paris food experience. Then we found this shop. We got lunch and desserts both days. The first day was salads and the next day a sandwich. I almost cried tears of joy. I haven’t had a normal tasting sandwich in 7 months. We bought several pastries each time we went. We also bought cookies, meringues, bread and granola to go. Everything was delish! The sweet girl in the shop was darling when I kept adding food to my order. I seriously wanted to give the owners a kiss for providing the Paris food experience for those of us that cannot eat gluten. 😘 I really wish I spoke French so I could buy their cookbook and understand what it was saying.

This was the only gluten free patisserie we could find in Paris. It was amazing! They had everything ranging from eclairs, to opera cake, to baguettes and sandwiches. We bought a couple items to take home with us to enjoy later. They kept fine and were boxed up nicely by the staff.

This bakery is 100% gluten free! The chocolate eclair was fabulous as well as the chocolate cream puff. The rolls and croissants didn’t need any butter! You can either eat in or take out. Don’t let the line discourage you. It’s gf paradise. We are going back for more before we return home!

This place is AMAZING!!!!! To be able to get gluten free French pastries in Paris was a dream come true!!!! Everything I tried was delicious. They have a wide variety of pastries and also offer sandwiches, which were great for packing for train travel. My French is not that great, but seeing a sign for a “patisserie sans gluten” brought me so much joy!
