By the Way Bakery

This bakery is located on Lexington Avenue, between 83rd and 84th Streets. The Mini Lemon-Poppy Seed Cake ($5.50) was one of the best of its type that I have ever had.

Visited for the first time yesterday. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The pastries are delicious! This is definitely my new bakery as I’m new to being gluten free and finding great tasting gluten free desserts is very hard.

Reasonably priced & so many options! The perfect little bakery treat! I had an apple donut (SO GOOD)—- however, more cake than donut & some kind of raps berry tart—- also tasty

Great gluten free food. A very informative and helpful staff.

Everything is GF. Was amazed as it all tasted amazing. Best gf baked goods I’ve had. Price wasn’t overly extortionate either. Had the choc and cinnamon muffin and choc brownie

Well it should really be called ‘Out of the Way’ Bakery!! We needed gluten and dairy free goodies for a tea party so we trekked to the Upper East Side specially as all their baked products fit the bill.

It turned out to be a good decision - there’s so much choice for us gf/df folks which is not the norm.

I splurged - $5/6 for cakes, $2/3 for cookies. The almond cookie was light and tasted like marzipan- delish! The ginger cookies are also great. The lemon poppyseed and sour cherry cakes were moist and flavorful. The cakes were quite filling so I have several leftover - looking forward to eating them later....yummm!

Amazing, I’ve been all over the United States and this is the best bakery

Tried their slices of cake that are sold at Whole Foods in NJ. Definitely some of the best GF/DF dessert I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to try more from their bakery in NYC!

Everything here is really tasty and well packaged. I especially love the almond cookies.

Amazing baked goods even if some were a bit too eggy for my taste. The staff was so incredibly helpful about my dairy issues too and helped me select the tastiest options, which ended up being their favorites too! :-)

Very helpful in navigating my other allergies. Everything is so delicious, but my favorite is the Amy cake!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% gluten free. everything. I also have allergies to oats and soy and as soon as I told them they brought out the flip book of all the ingredients of everything they had for sale. They didnt make me feel uncomfortable for having extra allergies. absolutely amazing. I got the lemon cake and the almond cookies! worth the visit if you're in NYC.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome gluten free bakery. So many choices!

This beautiful little bakery makes me so happy! It is so pretty and clean and the staff was nice. Everything is gluten free and everything I ordered was delicious! I loved walking into a bakery knowing that I could pick anything I wanted to eat - 🙌❤

I love this place with all my heart. A lot of desserts have some soy and coconut in them but not corn or dairy. Every time we go to New York we visit this place. They have laminated sheets that have the ingredients of each item. The staff is very knowledgeable.

Everything was absolutely amazing, tasty & fresh. I wish I lived a little more convenient to it, I’d be there all the time!! In addition to everything being GF, it’s also Dairy Free!

Brownie was great but staff were kinda rude. Everything GF so definitely safe.

Celiac friendly?

This place is amazing; got a pumpkin bunt cake and free sample of a brownie, and both were delicious. The staff was friendly and answered questions about other allergens. It is pricey, but that's pretty typical for gf bakeries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything gf!!! The Linzer tarts are a lot

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fabulous cakes that are excellent in their own right--not just good-for-gf. Pricey $5 per mini Bundt and cruller cakes. No pastries, just simple cookies and cakes

I did my very best to eat my way through every gluten free bakery in NYC while in town, but this place is truly the best. I am gluten free but not dairy free and don’t usually like dairy free sweets. But not here. Every single thing I tried here was incredible—tasted like it was full to the brim of both gluten and dairy! This is an incredible gluten free bakery and definitely not one to miss if you’re in NYC.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Literally amazing! The brownies were amazing and didn’t fall apart at all they were so moist and the cakes were delicious. entire place is gluten-free and it is amazing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had no bread or buns. But the cookies was good.

Cannot say enough good things about this place!!! Their baked goods are like “real” baked goods—super moist, don’t fall apart, etc. Great selection. The pumpkin bundt was probably the best baked good I’ve had in 7 years of being celiac

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best chocolate cake I have ever had hands down. Love them! Coffee was great too! They don’t do cakes by the slice, they have a cake of the day you can get a slice of, otherwise you gotta buy the whole cake but they have other dessert options! They are fabulous!

Amazing! I was worried I was going to miss out on Fall treats but they have a delicious pumpkin bundt cake, a moist apple spice cake and fudge cookies. I'm very happy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

THE BEST BAKERY, PERIOD! The universe has answered by prayers! Perfect texture, incredibly moist, absolutely delicious. I’m a super-sensitive celiac. I will never by a cake or pastries anywhere else in my life. I’ve bought three varieties of layer cakes on four different occasions and have never had any reaction except sublime bliss and gustatory delight.

The RASPBERRY CHOCOLATE CAKE is an act of divine intervention, paradise regained for celiacs. It’s is simply the best cake I’ve ever bought in my life. Only my mother’s homemade German chocolate cake made from scratch is better.

Their loaf pound cakes are absolutely amazing, both vanilla and chocolate marble.

The Lemon layer cake is my third favorite—you actually taste the lemon. Perfect with Darjeeling or Earl Grey.

The chocolate chocolate cake is amazing, even perhaps a bit overwhelmingly chocolate. It’s more like eating ganache, which is actually an amazing thing. Serve with espresso-based coffee.

The chocolate vanilla is very good—great cake, but the frosting needed more vanilla oomph as it was nondescript. However, the brilliance of the chocolate cake compensated gallantly.

And one Friday, I will make the journey to get a challah.

Everything delicious. Dairy free too! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Excellent place!

Kosher gluten free, dairy free bakery. Small but delicious.

I was so looking forward to going here with my celiac family. They loved it. However if you can not have corn like I can’t then there is nothing here for you. The two items I might have been able to have they couldn’t confirm if the confectioners sugar had cornstarch or tapioca starch in it nor could they tell me the ingredients to the vegan cheese alternatives they use. Disappointing for me, good for my family.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just had tons and tons of GF bakery goods for Passover ( they are kosher, but not kosher for Passover) and everything was just delicious. And no GI issues at all. And all my non-celiac family and friends liked their desserts better than any non-GF desserts that were served. Thank you, bakery gods.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What the what ?! Amazing! We got several things to take with us and everything was great! We had white cake, coconut cake (tasted like vacation), lemon cake and a brownie.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

DELICIOUS!! Whoever I spoke to at the counter was very friendly! I got an apple crumb donut and it was so good I went back for a second!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the lemon poppyseed muffin. It was fabulous and was not dry. Good texture. Most everything was a sweet. The cakes and pecan torte poke yummy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything on menu is GF. Obsessed with it here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So why do people like this sugar laden bakery??? It’s so over priced for spoonfuls of sugar. Even my husband who loves sweets was grossed out. The desserts would taste way better with only a third of the sugar. I can’t eat gluten but really does that mean you have to put so much duds in everything? The sour cherry muffin was so sweet, nasty!

Very delicious and without any problems :-)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious!!! An awesome selection! And everything is homemade GF deliciousness! What a treat! And the taste, look and feel like regular food but so much better!!! 😉

This place is definitely pricey, but it is a dedicated gf facility. The chocolate chip cookies are absolutely amazing.

Stopped here on my way back to MA from NY. I’d read great things from this app and man I wasn’t disappointed. I got an oatmeal raisin cookie that was EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, a pumpkin bunt cake that was super delicious, and a Chocolate chip cinnamon muffin that was very yummy. Anyone that finds one of these DO NOT I repeat DO NOT drive past it. I promise it’s well worth the trip

Celiac friendly?

I can’t believe all of their baked goods are GF and DF. They’re THAT good.
