How to Use This List of Nut-Free Bakeries

Obviously, I haven’t been to many of the following nut-free bakeries and cannot vouch for their allergen safety procedures, ingredients, taste, or value. Keep in mind that nut-free bakeries can change owners, ingredients, or recipes at any time.

And because I do not know the nature of the allergies you are avoiding, please visit their website, call and ask questions to verify safety before serving or consuming. I’ve created this list as a general resource for Nut Free Wok readers to use to begin their own research.

Keep scrolling below to see my list of nut-free bakeries in the United States and Canada as well as some mail order and retail store options. I added some new bakeries to the list, noted by *new* but that doesn’t mean they are a new business, just that they’re new to this list.

If you find a bakery that’s not on the list, I have some suggestions on how to decide for yourself on whether it’s safe or not for your family. And if you love them, please share below in the comments.

How to Decide If a Bakery Is Nut-Free?

We need to know about nut-free bakeries in our communities regardless of whether you need an allergy safe treat to send for a school party, desserts for a special occasion, meeting a friend for coffee or lunch, or just passing through while on vacation. I love that there are owners of nut-free bakeries who are committed to nut allergy safety procedures to provide an invaluable service to people who live with life threatening nut allergies and their friends and family.

I think for most people “nut-free” means that there is no intentional addition of nuts in the ingredients. But for a person with life threatening allergies, “nut-free” has to mean free of nuts as well as traces from potential cross contact from a wandering spatula, shared equipment, ingredients with allergen advisories, etc.. It’s important to learn how to evaluate any bakery or dining establishment and then to vet them to establish safety.

Are They REALLY Nut-Free Bakeries or Restaurants? 

Most bakeries have some risk of cross contact with allergens. However there are some allergy friendly or nut-free bakeries available and I look at their website for more information.

  • Look at their menu options and see if any of their products contain obvious allergens that I need to avoid.
  • Do they use any red flag items such as candy toppings which are known to be labeled with allergen advisories, such as “may contain peanuts”?
  • Then I look at their home page, about page, FAQ, and/or nutrition page to look for an allergen or ingredient statement that describe what allergens they are free from.
  • Do they share their reasons for having a nut-free or other allergen-free bakery? Do they or their loved ones live with life threatening food allergies?

I have come across some bakeries that are peanut-free but not tree nut-free, some are tree nut-free but not peanut-free, some are gluten and nut-free, some are gluten-free but use almond flour as a gluten-free flour substitution. There are all kinds of permutations of how they might be allergen-free so we have to be alert to the possibilities and don’t assume anything! If the bakery still looks promising then I will ask questions.

Double Check Nut-Free Bakeries With a Conversation:

When talking with nut-free bakeries or restaurants, it goes without saying to always be polite and to respect their time. Call or visit during non-peak times to speak with a manager. We need to pay it forward and make it easy for the next person to have their questions answered.

Since we are a nut-free family, here are some questions I might have when looking at a website or talking with a bakery owner. You can substitute or add other allergens you are avoiding, and depending on the answers and your personal comfort level, you either keep asking or thank them for their time and say goodbye. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, your questions are a reflection of consumer needs and can shape the restaurant and food industries.

  • Do any of your pastries/dishes contain peanuts or tree nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, etc..)?
  • Do you use ingredients that are derivatives of peanuts or tree nuts such as peanut butter, almond extract, chocolate hazelnut spreads, etc.?
  • Do you use ingredients with allergen advisories or call your suppliers or distributors to check for allergen advisories for any chance of cross-contact from being made on shared equipment or shared facilities?
  • Be aware that some gluten-free products have allergen advisories for nuts and other allergens. Be sure to ask gluten-free bakeries and restaurant which brand of flour they use and then check on the manufacturer’s website to be certain that they’re also safe for your nut allergies.
  • What procedures do you have in place to limit cross contact of allergens? This is an example of an open ended question and some examples of great responses that I have heard include
    • we bake the most allergy sensitive items first thing in the morning
    • we bought all new equipment without seams (so that allergens aren’t lodged in the cracks)
    • we have visited the manufacturer (of a company that makes gluten-free flour and nut flours) and are assured that their gluten-free flours are free from cross contact with the nut flours.

Triple Check by Cross Referencing

  • City or county health inspection reports are important. If a dining establishment can’t keep up with the basics of health and safety, they won’t be able to meet the needs of a food allergic customer.
  • Have you heard of Allergy Eats or Spokin? Both are great resources with crowd-sourced information by people with varying allergies and preferences. Consider them short-lists of options that you must check for yourself. When I travel, I use Allergy Eats to quickly zero in on allergy friendly restaurants. I’ve also downloaded the Spokin app to search for recommendations and their blog often has great lists organized by cities.
  • Check Yelp for other health and safety measures and decide whether you are comfortable with dining in, outdoor dining, or takeout.
  • Check Yelp, Open Table, or other online restaurant review sites and see what others have to say, hit “control + F” and search results for “allergy” and see if any allergic diners had comments.

Why Care About Nut-Free Bakeries and Restaurants?

Nut Free Wok reader Lucy shared an adorable photo of her son intently looking at allergy friendly pastries, “…he’s in front of the glass case looking in. He looks at me and says “Mama, I can have anything??- in disbelief- Are you sure??”   🙂 Their story was truly really sweet and resonated with many readers, a few confessed to being teary-eyed (me too!). 

Nut-free bakeries make kids and grown-ups happy and they touch our lives. These bakeries and restaurants are a part of our birthdays, weddings, baby showers, graduations, and every other celebration.

Nut-free bakeries deserve our support. I asked Nut Free Wok’s readers on Facebook and Twitter for their suggestions, please go visit the thread and this thread from May, 2015 to read each others comments and discussion (THANK YOU!!). But there were so many great places all mixed in together, I decided to create a page here organized by country and/or state.

Is Coconut a Tree Nut?

I refer to information listed on ACAAI’s website and for the purposes of this list, bakeries that use coconut aren’t excluded but if I know that coconut is used in the bakery, I will note it. If you are avoiding coconut (or any other allergens), please clarify with the nut-free bakeries before ordering or eating.

Coconut is not a botanical nut; it is classified as a fruit, even though the Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut. If you are allergic to tree nuts, talk to your allergist before adding coconut to your diet.

Latest update: May 16, 2024

I update this post about once a year. This year I added more recommendations and reorganized the post so that it’s easier to find a location near you and moved my tips on checking a bakery to the bottom.

If you find any new bakeries that you think others will like, please leave a comment below. That’s the best way for people to find your recommendations in between updates! I prefer to add reader recommended bakeries and not owner submitted recommendations.

Many bakeries have changed their hours and some have closed, so be sure to check their website or call for hours. Also many bakeries have added mail order options , so be sure to look at options from nearby cities and states.

I also added *new* to any listings that are new to this page, does not mean that they are a new business. Thanks!

  4. We just discovered a nut-free Chinese restaurant in the Toronto area. “Bean Sprout”. They have pretty much all the regular dishes you would expect. Even dessert! Sesame balls with red bean paste and steamed bun with red bean. Our Peanut/Treenut allergy teenager ate there twice…. with no issues! The owners have a nut-allergy kid, which is why they opened the restaurant. Really nice people! Great food! They’ve been in business for a few years, can’t believe we have not heard of them before.

NOTE: They do have nuts for a few months during the holiday (Christmas) season on one side of the bakery, completely separate (separate utensils, dishes etc). Our PN/TN kid has eaten lot of their donuts, turnovers, empanadas, pies etc, no issues. This a Filipino bakery, they also have Filipino baked goods!

    Thanks,

    Kevin

  8. Swirls in Mississauga, Ontario and Oh So Sweet in Vaughan Ontario are nut free bakeries and absolutely amazing!

  9. We discovered Flour Atelier last year in San Diego, CA and tears rolled down my face as I let my nut free kid have his own independence in choosing whatever he wanted and he got to try his first macaron ever made out of sesame flour! We have since been back and it is a 2 hour drive for us but we will always make the journey for our kid to be able to walk in to a delicious bakery and choose whatever he wants without fear and hesitation

    1. Omg, that’s so sweet. THIS is why I maintain this list year after year, to help all the kiddos have these opportunities. Thank you for sharing. <3

  14. Flour Atelier in San Diego is also nut free and makes absolutely beautiful pastries. They use sunflower flour instead of almonds in their macarons. They’re brand new, having just opened around the holidays.

  15. For Washington State, I would like to add Askatu Bakery by Liberated Foods, LLC and Doughjoy. Askatu is free of top 9 allergens and Doughjoy is vegan and nut-free.

  17. Our greatest thrill before traveling is referring to your list, and finding a safe spot! It was from this list originally YEARS ago that I learned my uncle has a safe-for-us bakery 2 miles from his place. Just yesterday I ordered two cakes from them (Sensitive Sweets in CA) for a family gathering that’s happening next month. SHARON, I DO NOT HAVE TO BAKE SOMETHING! AND IT IS THINGS I COUDN’T BAKE (well). What. A. Treat. 😭 I’ve visited before but never had the chance to take my allergic family member there. A whole bakery filled with “yes!” It’s a big holiday treat.

  18. Coles Bakery in Spokane, WA is completely peanut free 🙂 Gluten free too and they handle allergies well with no outside food allowed in to protect customers.

    Reply

    1. I just checked out their website, they seem so allergy-friendly (gluten-free, peanut-free). I sent them an email to see if they use any other tree-nuts besides coconut. Thank you Breanna for your recommendation!! I looked through their food photos on review sites and decided not to list them because they use tree nuts on some of the food, which might not be a good fit for everyone who follows this page. Thank you anyways!!

  19. We’ve been on the road again and found an amazing nut-free donut shop just outside St. Louis, Missouri! Freshest, tastiest donuts ever and the nicest people! This small business is truly a pillar in their community (and not just for those with nut allergies). It’s a busy place every morning and the line was justifiably out the door! We even bought a dozen just to take home and freeze… soooo good!

  28. Two places to list in Michigan that we have been fortunate enough to find in the past year — Bake Superior Bread in Ironwood, MI is peanut free (not sure about tree nuts), and Oh Mi Organics is a chocolate shop in St. Johns, MI that is gluten, dairy, peanuts, soy, sesame free.

    There is also a candy store in Clio, MI called Clio Candy Co – they are peanut and tree nut free. They just changed locations, they used to be in Flushing, MI

  34. I believe Al Dente restaurant in Elmwood Park NJ is peanut-free because they have a family member who is allergic. You may want to give them a call to confirm.

  38. Great post! I see there is nothing listed for Texas. In the Houston area we have Awesome Bites Co. which has delicious allergy-friendly muffins, cupcakes, cookies, bars, and ICE CREAM! All items are vegan, peanut and tree nut free (except for coconut) and many of their items are Top 8 free. It’s a great option for locals, but they also ship some of their items nationwide. Check them out! I’m not affiliated with them in any way but love them as a customer—my son was able to enjoy his first completely safe ice cream shop experience because of this business.

  39. Unfortunately, BreadSmith bakery in Maryland has closed. I’m on the hunt for an alternative here but haven’t found anything yet. Also, Videri Chocolate in Raleigh is still open (it was crossed out on your list and is tree nut and peanut free. Was it crossed out for another reason? Thanks and I love and cherish your information for my peanut allergic son!

    Reply

    1. I will add your updates to my list of things to do. I suspect that Videri is crossed out because the link needs an update as well. Sometimes websites change their URL for different pages. It’s not an intentional cross out on my part. Thanks for letting me know.

  40. I can recommend the Lemonade Bakery in Manassas–they used to be just custom orders but I believe they now have a storefront too. I’ve gotten my son fun birthday cakes from them for about 7 years now but they have other things too–I’ve only tried the doughnuts in addition to their cakes (I wasn’t a fan of the donuts). From their website: Everything is egg, nut, and peanut free. Vegan, dairy free, soy free, and gluten free options are also available for certain menu items.

  43. David’s gluten free chocolate chip brownies also work great for me. They are listed as Nut free, gluten free and dairy free. I’m allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, coconut and sesame (Had previous issues with trace amounts of allergens) but never had an issue with their brownies. I think they make other products as well.

  44. We love Out of the Bubble Bakery in Virginia. They have made several birthday cakes for us. Their work is amazing — they can make *any* cake! A couple of years ago they made the most gorgeous Frozen themed cake for my daughter’s 10th birthday. This year, I’m planning a Messy Room cake and I will definitely be using them again.

  47. Peace, Love and Little Donuts of Worthington, Ohio is peanut free and nut free (they do use coconut). All other Peace, Love and Little Donut locations are NOT nut free and therefore their allergen statement on their website lists nuts. The owners of the Worthington, Ohio location have intentionally chosen to make their shop nut free. They even use Skippers from Vermont Nut Free Chocolates!

    One a side note – Nut Free Sweets in Ohio made my wedding cake and it was the best cake I have ever had!

  49. Vegan Bites is awesome, but they are not totally nut free, my daughter has wheat, dairy, eggs, all nut and fish allergy, so they are very accommodating and helpful in that area.
    Dreamy desserts close shop and I really miss Penny. Will continue to find that person in Vegas. Thank you!

    They are nut free and have 2 locations in Toronto, and also supply to Toronto Pearson Airport at both their terminals, http://www.grodzinskibakery.com/locations
    Their desserts were beautiful and tasty as well. The great thing is that they supply several types of baked goods and not just the typical cupcake and cake only type shop.

Brought home some amazing bread, muffins, a simply to die for cinnamon horn and two gingerbread people (holidays in July?). My son was almost overwhelmed with all of the safe and yummy choices.

    We also love TWIST Bakery and Café in Millis Mass–they have great breakfast and lunch items in addition to bakery treats.

    We also really like BellaCakes in Clinton Ma. They are nut free but also have homemade made on site nut free hard scoop ice cream–(hard to find)! They also have a vegan ice cream as well.
