Chambelland is a charming gluten-free bakery in Paris, where inventive pastries and artisanal bread shine, proving that gluten-free can be downright delicious.
"You’re not going to find a croissant in this town without gluten. But you will find delicious bread made with nuts and figs, seasonal tartlets oozing with lemon, apple, or pear creams, and other wheat-free baked goods—and you’ll find the best at this charming bakery off of rue Oberkampf. Pop in for a quick snack in the morning before heading out for the day, or later on to grab some carbs that you can bring to the nearby Square Gardette. We love their mini loaves, or “chambellines,” and the shockingly light and moist rice flour focaccia with kalamata olives." - sara lieberman, emily monaco

"Chambelland specializes in an all-gluten-free selection of breads, cookies, cakes, and individual pastries; for lunch, there are also sandwiches (on homemade gluten-free breads and focaccias), soups, and salads. If you don't compare Chambelland's gluten-free goods to their conventional counterparts, you'll be able to appreciate them for what they are: entirely different kind of bread and pastries. And you don't need to be gluten-intolerant to enjoy them—the chocolate-chip cookies are as good as any others you've had elsewhere. This is the flagship location." - Lindsey Tramuta
"Given gluten is such an essential part of Parisians’ day-to-day, it may seem impossible to run a gluten-free bakery in the city. But Boulangerie Chambelland is a local favorite. Their gluten-free breads, pastries, choux, tartes, and cakes are all exceptional counterparts to the gluten-filled pastries elsewhere. Even better: Chambelland is devoted to sustainability, and the bakers use all organic ingredients." - Dayna Evans, Lindsey Tramuta
