Hazel Mountain Chocolate

Celiacs beware!! This place advertises being all gluten free but then everything has a label saying it is processed with gluten. I asked a couple of staff about the safety of the chocolate or bakery items for celiacs and they all answered that everything is gluten free. But when I asked about cross contamination they just said it is all made in the same place with gluten ingredients and they weren’t aware of any measures to reduce cross contamination.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Not at all

Travelled here as advertised as a gluten-free bakery. Not all products were gluten free and baked in the same facility so no guarantee on cross contamination. Chocolates are advertised as gluten free in the factory but have ‘may contain gluten warning’ on the packaging. Very disappointed could not eat anything having travelled there.

Only dedicated gluten free facility I’ve come across in Ireland. Delicious cakes and hot chocolates! Previous review mentions wheat bread, but there were only cakes on offer here and all are gluten free baked on site. Nima tested for my own peace of mind, all came back gluten free. Carrot Cake is so good. Loved the mint hot chocolate, too. Snagged a lot of cakes for takeaway, all scrumptious! Poppyseed Babka is also great. If you’re celiac, just try them all! Too good.

Chocolate factory next door, they have one item with gluten and they take extra care to ensure other chocolates are not contaminated. The kitchen for these two, cafe and factory, are totally separate.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cafe next to chocolate factory, gluten free kitchen although sell wheat bread produced elsewhere. Menus clearly marked for allergens. Beautiful setting, friendly staff.
