Flour Chylde Bakery

850 Grant Ave, Novato, CA

★★★★★4.6(125 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

This beloved Downtown Novato bakery is a serious destination for gluten-free and vegan treats, with devoted customers driving from neighboring counties for their exceptional pastries and plant-based options. Beyond the impressive dietary inclusivity, their house-made cakes like the Rapture Cake and Banana Dates Cake earn genuine raves, though sandwich execution can be inconsistent. It's the kind of warm, family-friendly spot where you'll find quality baked goods and a welcoming community vibe, even if you should double-check your sandwich before leaving.

I was sadly disappointed with my sandwich. I got the turkey avocado. There was no tomato like it shows online, maybe I was mistaken, but there was also only avocado on maybe half. The sandwich was pretty dry. The bread held together nicely but the sandwich definitely wasn’t worth what I paid. The latte was yummy though.

Passing through Novato, I stumbled upon this gem in beautiful Downtown — and what a discovery! I tried the Rapture Cake (absolutely incredible), the Banana Dates Cake (delicious!), and a turkey-avocado sandwich, fresh and tasty. But here’s the magic: everything is gluten-free. The cakes and pastries are so rich, so flavorful, so perfectly made, that I could hardly believe it. Truly irresistible — I could eat the whole shop.

Im pregnant and this was the sandwich I got today. The egg smelled so bad and tasted (to my siblings who tried it) super disgusting. I called to let them know that the egg looked and smelled terrible and they literally said "this is normal" terrible. Their food was below par for insane prices and I was fine with that. We were trying a new place. But this is ridiculous.

This place has some of the best gluten free treats in the Bay Area! I drive from the next county over just to go here, that's saying a lot! I have been coming here for a little over 5 years and it never disappoints. I love their rapture, carrot muffin, pumpkin and chocolate. I saw they now offer layered cakes which makes me so happy, definitely going to remember that! Their ginger cookies are so good as well!! I have tried a Turkey sando there years ago and it wasn't bad. I have never tried their bread items. Great service and they have remained consistent which is actually really special. Don't miss out!!

If you're looking for vegan / plant-based options this arguably one of the best bakeries in the bay area. Dozens of really tasty pastries, a few good sandwiches, and multiple choices of bread.
