Libby's - Notting Hill

The cutest little dedicated gf cafe with the most delicious pan au chocolat I’ve tasted - even before my celiac diagnosis! The workers there are sweet & accommodating. I’ve already gone twice on my trip and I will most likely be going again. You can’t miss this if you are gluten free & in London!

Very few choices when I went at 12pm, and a small case so not entirely sure how much they have to start the day. But the bagel I got to go was a great texture and I got a pb&j brownie which is not something I would pick with more options but it was great!!

Great little cafe in Notting Hill. I echo prior reviews that there aren’t as many offerings as I may have liked. But we picked up a tuna melt panini, carrot cake bite, fruit and nut bar, and lemon polenta cake with frosting.

They had bread but were sold out of bagels. I was so happy to find an iced latte, which seems few and far between in London.

Overall it’s a lovely place and was worth the trip. I would go again for the gf paninis alone!

Very limited offerings, just a couple of cakes, which were good, but I went out of my way to find this place and was disappointed by how limited it was.

I was super excited to try this place, all the pictures show all this choice and its totally gluten free. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. Only 3 options of cakes and I choose two. Carrot/orange and Raspberry/white chocolate. Firstly, they should name them 'slices' as they are not really cakey. Sadly they were also not something I would have again. I went at 1pm on a Sunday.

They were no longer offering a bunch of things on their menu, which sucked because I walked really far to get there. I actually ended up sitting in the back while eating a peanut butter brownie next to a sign that had all the old offerings scratched out and had eventually been banished to the back of the cafe to rot. The stuff I had was fine, but some of it tasted like it had been baked a few days prior.

There are better things to eat in London, so if you walk by this place go ahead and try it but I wouldn’t make a point to go to it.

I'm always excited to try a new gluten free bakery. Unfortunately, the croissant and the pain au chocolat I ordered were extremely dry and burnt. The girl asked me if I wanted them warmed up, and it's probably due to this (they were in the oven for about 5-10min).

I was disappointed, given the high reviews.

The mocha was really good.

Wow! Honestly, I visited Libby’s 2x during a 3 day stay in London and I’d move here just for Libby’s… I tried: bagels (10/10), pain au chocolate (10/10), and some of the cake treats (more mid, like 5/10).

I absolutely loved the breakfast treats here. The bagels were lovely & chewy, the pain au chocolate melted in my mouth. Also loved that they were a dedicated GF bakery. I thought the staff was very knowledgeable & helpful and the ambiance of the bakery was exactly what I wanted on a chilly spring London morning.

very disappointing, arrived at 11 and they had sold out of all pastries + majority of stock. not sure why they don’t prepare for more and plenty of other disappointed customers came in too. had a brownie/cookie sandwich which was okay but went out of my way to try this place and it was a huge disappointment!

This place is amazing. We stopped in for a coffee, a croissant and a danish, all of which were so good. It’s all gluten free, and there’s so much to try, we’re definitely going back. It does seem to be first in best dressed, so if you don’t get in early some of the variety might disappear.

I though the pastries / cake were mediocre at best. Everything tasted very similar, I tried the blueberry lemon pastry, carrot cake, hazelnut pastry and a few others I can’t recall. Not sure if it’s the chicory root or potentially cloves that give the overwhelming flavor and made everything taste the same . Frosting was very heavy, resembles cream cheese but tasted like a stick of butter on top. The base was too dense for my liking and a bit stale.

The woman who rung up my order did not seem knowledgeable about the ingredients, when asked about the flour mix used for the baked goods. Some had oats listed and one of the pastries had some sort of nut butter which was not listed in the ingredients list/ description.

Americano was a hard pass for me, had a thick layer of coffee grinds at the top of my cup.

Absolutely amazing place! The staff were so friendly and offered some great recommendations for what to buy. The croissant was super flakey and delicious, I wouldn’t tell it was gluten free! Been coeliac for nearly 3 years now and by far the best bakery I’ve been too! Must visit if you’re in London!

i recommend getting here early because they will run out of popular items like croissants! we got there around noon and they were out of most things, but i had a delicious mini carrot cake and chocolate chip sea salt cookie. the cappuccino was lacking for me, but overall a solid place! the desserts aren’t sickeningly sweet either

I haven’t had a GF croissant since I’ve had to adopt a GF diet (10+yrs), so this one - and the pain au chocolat - are hitting pretty spectacularly! Flaky and rich with the just right bite and chew texture, mmmmm… Libby’s for the win! And got a bagel for later. What an absolute treat for the GFeaters in the area!

Can't say enough good things about this place! We went fairly early in the morning (recommended. It got busy soon after) and some it was my birthday weekend i 'accidentally' ate 4 pastries. And these pastries are muggle-sized beasties! Spinach and feta pastry was delicious, the pistachio bun was pretty tasty, and the cinnamon roll and croissant were DELICIOUS!!! Seriously, even my muggle husband thought they were great, based on the teeny nibbles I reluctantly permitted him. 🤣

Bought a sourdough loaf and a cookie to bring home with me. Both really good. The loaf tasted like the bread my Nan used to feed me when I was really young.

On top of all this, the prices were reasonable! So if you're in the area, go, stock up, enjoy, because I'm not sure there's better gf pastries anywhere else in the south!

BEST GF CROISSANT I'VE EVER HAD! This is the celiac Mecca. I tried the plain croissants, pain au chocolat, bagels, and white sourdough. All so good. Lovely staff. The notting hill location is really quite small with only a few tables for eat-in. But so good for takeaway. Get there early so they don't sell out! I came all the way from Los Angeles for this!!

The cakes looked delicious, however the selection of cakes was small. The taste was not great, and if you have a sensitive stomach maybe you should be careful. Our stomachs hurt for some hours afterwards, probably due to the unfamiliar ingredients.
