Boonzaaijer's Dutch Bakery

I stopped here based on reviews but I really should have known better. Not celiac safe and I was glutened but it was delicious. The hazelnut meringue was out of this world. I highly recommend for non-celiac but this is a bakery with flour in the air and crumbs all over the place. The woman who attended me was unfamiliar with celiac protocol/ cross- contamination but I really don’t think it would matter anyway since so much gluten is all around.

Excellent gluten free treats, especially the eclair. The hot chocolate with whipped cream was great too - just sweet enough.

The owner said they are gluten friendly and can’t prevent cross contamination. However when asked they are taking appropriate precautions despite having a primarily gluten bakery. I had a gf eclair and chocolate covered cheesecake dome. Both were excellent and I did not get sick and I am very sensitive to cross contamination.

STOP! Please read! I am writing this review a week after visiting this bakery. I wanted to make sure I didn’t get sick from possible cross contamination before posting. I am a dx celiac and very sensitive to cross contamination. Here is how my visit went!

MIND BLOWN! Absolutely blown. I purchased the eclairs, cheesecake dome, hazelnut meringue and a chocolate decadence cake. First up, the eclair. My stomach dropped in sheer panic! By the taste and texture there was no way I wouldn’t get sick! It has been over a year now that I have been strictly gluten/oats free and this just brought me back to pre gluten free baked goods! Unreal! Everything was incredible!

After indulging it was time to wait. Nothing happened. Not one single symptom. The friend that invited me is gluten free, purchased the same items as me and had zero issues. My daughter who is gluten free, also had zero issues.

Overall? GO! Don’t walk, RUN! My daughters birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and we plan to go! Hope you enjoy!
