Flour Chylde Bakery
850 Grant Ave, Novato, CA
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.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

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.…

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. …
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.
