At Libby's Bakery, we're more than just a 100% gluten-free spot in London—we're a place where people rediscover the simple joy of biting into a flaky croissant, a warm bagel, or a slice of seeded sourdough without a second thought about cross-contamination or discomfort. Our dedicated kitchens in Notting Hill mean everything on the menu is safe for coeliacs, gluten-intolerant folks, and anyone who loves great baking. Over the years, we've heard countless stories from our regulars about how Libby's has brought back that "normal" feeling whether it's a family weekend treat, a comforting expat ritual, or the thrill of enjoying pastries they thought they'd never have again. Here are a few heartfelt spotlights from our community, drawn from the smiles, messages, and reviews we've cherished. 

James the Expat: A Taste of Home in a New city James, an Australian expat who's lived in London for five years, was diagnosed with gluten sensitivity shortly after moving here. "London's food scene is incredible, but finding reliable gluten-free options felt impossible at first," he recalls. "I stumbled into Libby's Notting Hill one rainy morning and ordered a ham and cheese croissant. It was the first time in years I'd had decent savoury pastry without worry." He became a regular, often grabbing bagels or brownies to take to work. "As an expat missing familiar comforts, Libby's feels like a little haven. The pastries remind me of home bakeries, but better because I can actually eat them! I've recommended it to every gluten-free friend visiting London. 

From Our Community: Echoes of gratitude! We've seen similar sentiments across reviews and messages. A visitor shared "One of the best GF bakeries I've been to anywhere in the world. The pain au chocolat was the lightest, flakiest croissant I've ever had GF." 

These stories remind us why we bake every day! To create moments where gluten doesn't define the experience. Whether you're a local family creating new traditions, an expat finding comfort far from home, or someone newly navigating coeliac life, Libby's is here to make it delicious and worry free. If Libby's has been part of your story, we'd love to hear it!
