Kith & Kin Bakeshop & Bistro 100% Gluten Free

One of the best restaurants in WNY. I’ve had restaurant anxiety my entire life and when I walk into the doors of Kith and Kim I never feel an ounce of worry. Every single staff member is so kind and welcoming. We are always immediately greeted. The owners a very involved and make sure you are having a good experience. I’m new to eating gf foods and every dish I’ve tried here is so good. The atmosphere of the place is beautiful. No drama, just families and good food. I 100% plan to eat here many many more times. I sincerely hope this business gets all the growth it deserves.

Update: came back to a cottage on Lake Ontario so we could eat at this restaurant a year later! And guess what - the food is still so incredible, we had 3 meals in a row at this lovely restaurant. The cinnamon rolls are still to die for. The cabbage roll soup of the day was incredible! +++ recommend for gluten free buddies and anyone. Original review: Food so good, we came back the next day! We were near this town for a weekend getaway, and found this place while searching for celiac/gluten free options. It’s both a bakery and restaurant, with dine in and take out options. Over the 2 days, we ordered the following: Friday fry fish (look at the size of that piece!), Chicken fried chicken burger with zuppa toscana soup and sautéed vegetables, the app sampler (fried pickles, chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, and garlic bread), and the cubano panini with more sautéed vegetables - all of it absolutely delicious. From the bakery we got sugar cookie, cinnamon roll, cheesecake, and a marshmallow cookie thing - also all incredibly delicious. We got more zuppa toscana to go and 2 strombolis for the freezer. Will be visiting again when we’re near this town!

I recently was diagnosed with a wheat allergy, and life has sucked until now. I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience. Service was a little slow but was worth the wait. They were packed, and once my food arrived, I could see why. Everything looked, tasted, and smelled amazing. I was able to indulge in a cookie while I waited, and my hamburger with fresh cut fries was amazing. Everything was fairly priced, and I left with my leftovers and a frozen pizza to try later. A few days later, I tried the pizza and was again blown away. It was fairly priced and delicious. I did not feel like I was "settling" for gluten-free food because this was good enough that I'd eat it even if I wasn't gluten-free.

Kith and Kin will always be a favorite for my family and me. It was one of the first places we ate at when I had to go gluten-free, and it made such a difference. The staff has always been kind, welcoming, and understanding, and the food reminded me that eating gluten-free could still be fun, flavorful, and something to look forward to. It’s one of those places that just feels good to be in. I’m so thankful for this spot and all the great meals and memories my family and I have shared here over the years.

Delicious, fast, amazing! It’s hard to decide what to eat when you can actually have everything! My 11 year old son had funnel cake (available during fair week) for the first time, and loved it! Worth the 6 hour trip to get here!

If you have a gluten allergy or sensitivity or even Celiac, you HAVE to try this place. They are 100% gluten free! They also allow for dairy free, soy free and nut free for many items. The menu looks normal with pretzel bites, chicken fingers, pizza, stir fry, sandwiches, wraps and get this FRENCH TOAST! It was incredible! I had it dairy free and added apples, it was so moist and delicious. They have an amazing bakery as well. You can get items to go, including bread, pizza dough, and baked goods. Peanut butter bars, cupcakes, muffins, cookies, so many types, cinnamon rolls, and more. Several are dairy free. This family has done an amazing job to serve the GF community. We were able to get a table both times we went in, and it was after the normal lunch rush, but it would totally be worth the wait if you had to wait for a table. I'm so thankful for Kith & Kin. Thank you!! Update: I'm still thinking about this French toast days later!! So so soooo good!

i am a very sensitive celiac and this is hands down one of my favorite restaurants now!! restaurant is so cute and cozy, very homey! the food was some of the best gluten free i’ve ever had, would highly recommend!

First time ever going! Highly recommend to any gluten free food lover within an hour of here!Affordable gluten free which is very rare in general so that was a wonderful surprise and everything was delicious, I can eat wheat products but have always liked GF food. When I say you couldn't tell the difference if it was regular or GF, you really couldn't! It was another great surprise. Absolutely worth the long drive to get out there! The baked goods are also very tasty!

Let's be honest, the turn in off of Transit is foreboding. Not knowing what the parking lot looked like didn't help either. Under no circumstances let it deter you for years like it did for me!!! The service was so friendly you almost felt like family. I was hesitant because of all the things you hear about gluten-free (dry, cardboard taste, etc) but I was soooo happy to be proved wrong. When I say you can't tell the difference I truly mean it. The spinach feta quiche was absolutely delicious. I didn't expect such a wide assortment of baked goods, but they really had almost everything. There were quite a few baked goods that I've never seen anywhere else as well (molasses cream cookies, Nanaimo bars, millionaire bars, funfetti cookies) and the prices were pleasantly shocking, I expected them to cost quite a bit more. I'm definitely going back again as soon as possible.

Cute place glad we tried it. Nothing too special overall. They were absurdly busy and a touch rude if I'm being honest. Glad they're doing a good business but the food is lacking in flavor as a result. I got a turkey club wrap it was dry. Needed to add a lot of extra dressing to make it palatable. Dessert case was lovely lots of options and everything was pretty good. Heard staff being sort of exasperated at customers on several occasions which on a busy day I get but you just can't do. Soup was very unfavorable no real taste to either that we tried. Loads of parking but less so actual tables. It was crowded in there. I feel like they would better benefit from being a fast casual restaurant with food and drink pickup instead of table service. They'd get more folks in and out quicker and avoid the log jam of people trying to wait and move around staff.

If you are "gluten free" and especially if you have celiac disease, this is the place for you to go to get the best "gluten free" soups, bistro meals and desserts. Everything is available and available homemade. If you're "gluten free" or you have celiac disease or allergies to different foods, "Kith & Min bake shop is the place to go and eat. They also have takeout too.

For being Gluten Free this place is so good! I myself don't have the restrictions of not being able to have gluten but I have brought friends here who do and they are amazed and impressed. Definitely a great spot for lunch or bake goods to go.

Nothing on the menu is marked vegan, so you have to ask the help what is or is not. Shame on you Kith & Kin because NONE of your bread is vegan, so we couldn't even get a sandwich. Sorry, but my husband and I will not bother stopping again.

This is my go to place whenever I visit from NYC. Not just because it is a dedicated gluten free facility (although that definitely helps) but because of the people who work here. It is obvious immediately that this is a mission. They have comforting, good food that is safe for most allergies (everything is marked specifically and they are incredibly careful about cross contamination). I cannot give higher praise. They treat their patrons as extended family, even making something I enjoyed previously that is no longer on the menu. I highly recommend this place, even if you don't need to be gluten free.

Great service - waitress was very attentive and suggested lactose free options without prompting. The food is always great - and the bakery case is a must visit!

We were a group of 7 and were seated promptly. Everyone loved the food. Chicken fingers were delicious. Also salads, burgers, panini, and Reuben. Desserts are AMAZING! Service was excellent. This is not a fancy place-the vibe is like being in a house. The best thing is that EVERYTHING is gluten free! No need to scrutinize the menu when you are safe with EVERY option!

Fun and friendly restaurant with great food. I'm not gluten sensitive but loved the gluten free bread, would not have know it wasn't until waiter/owner told me. Will visit again when in Lockport.

I ordered a cake for my graduation and I could not be happier. They took my ideas and references for the cake and turned it into a truly spectacular masterpiece. I am the only one gluten dairy free in my family, and sometimes bakery items can be a hit or miss for them taste wise when they cater to my dietary needs. They all LOVED the cake, which make my night even more special. I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff was very communicative during the ordering process online, and pick up was very easy! Thank you guys for helping make my graduation special!

First time visiting this busy cafe! Nice ambiance and friendly waitstaff! The variety of baked goods was great! I Especially enjoyed the nut bar! Yummy! Can't wait to go back and get more!

I have been wanting to dine here for so long and finally did. After a day of relaxation and hiking, my boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night around 5:30pm. We waited a long time for our main meals, which were sandwiches. We also ordered deep fried pickles. They were almost $9 and there were only 4 pickle spears, which I thought was a high price for a low amount of food compared to the other things we ordered and the amount we received and the prices on those items. They were good though. As we were waiting for our food, other tables' food was delivered and everything looks so scrumptious. There is so much I want to try off that menu, and in the bakery. I ordered a Cuban with a side salad. It was delicious. The side salad and half of the sandwich filled me up and took the other half home. My boyfriend ordered the artichoke sandwich with a cup of the Rhode Island chowder. He enjoyed it as well, but could eat dessert right after his meal. I took a star off because the service wasn't great. The waitress we had took out drink order and our food order and never came back, another server did. We were out of beverages for quite a while as well, until another server came around. Also, they close at 8pm and at 7pm they were putting the baked goods away, while we were trying to pick out a variety of them to take home. The baked goods were great. We got a pecan bar, which was good, a coffee cake muffin, which had great flavor, a custard cream puff, and a moon cookie. Everything was delicious. I think I would stop here for takeout more than eating in, just because it was a very long wait. I really liked the food here, and am probably going to give the service another try. I realize everyone is trying their best, so please don't let that deter you from going here. I do like to write about my full experiences though.

Positives: this is the most affordable gluten free bakery in the area. Their selection of baked goods is huge and they're delicious. The savory food that's deserved fresh is great as well. We love the appetizer platter and ratatouille the most. Cons: the head chef who is perhaps the owner as well, is very intense, and in an open kitchen it gets uncomfortable as a customer. Food service is a stressful industry, so I get it somewhat. It doesn't feel great as a customer to watch him be annoyed with other customers and wait staff as he loudly directs them from behind the kitchen divider. Very awkward to sit next to while enjoying a meal.

Having a Gluten Free Restaurant and bakery in town is heaven sent. But not just that it is gluten free, the food is AMAZING!!!! The staff always remembers us when we come in and we feel special. If you have not been here, run don't walk! You won't regret it.

I go here at least once a week as I am gluten and dairy free. I get one of every baked good that is df because they are all incredible. Avaia is an absolutely wonderful worker and has such a pleasant demeanor when she's cashing you out. I have never been treated so nicely at a restaurant and that's because of Avaia.

Nice hidden gem in Niagara county. Food is good . In the bakery section you must finish off your meal with a cream puff

Absolutely, hands down, my favorite gluten free restaurant. Highly recommend if you are in the Lockport area. The entire menu is gf and the options are plentiful, portions are great and the food is awesome. The owners are very friendly and engaging and it's nice to see [despite COVID] so many smiles! The desserts are incredible too. Tons of options to choose from and I have yet to be disappointed. The building is bright and welcoming and they have certainly taking all COVID restrictions seriously.

I get gluten free bread here about once a month. Worth the drive to Lockport, their bread is that good. They have tons of other treats too. We've sampled a bunch and they are all really good. There is seating and they serve some sandwiches and the like too. I've only ever been there early in the day, so haven't seen any of the lunch process. It's a small place and you go in via the back. There's parking in back. You may drive past it your first visit, but then you'll know where it is. 6/20

It's the best gluten-free bakery I ever tried. This week was my 21st birthday and I ordered a gluten free cheesecake with cherry sauce and cherries and it was amazing 10 out of 10 definitely recommend

While picking up an ordered birthday cake and various desserts my wife and daughter experienced horrible and rude service from everyone they had contact with. We often travel to support this business, yet we experienced eye rolls with questions and employees acted put out by anything asked of them. The owner was not nice either and seems to foster this negative atmosphere. The food is nothing special and I don't care how good the dessert is we are done with this place.

Super friendly staff! I feel very safe eating there with all my food allergies and the food is delicious!

What a huge disappointment. We love this restaurant. We came here for a birthday celebration dinner and, maybe it was a bad night, but pretty much everything was off. The service was terrible. Too many clueless servers made for a very confusing ordering process. We wanted to eat outside and we were treated like that was a huge problem. We were asked for our phone. Umber so that they could text us when our food was ready, yet no one did. So our food sat on a shelf getting cold, while we were starving. Lots of changes to the menu and not for the better. I get that COVID has been tough on restaurants, but we asked a few questions about the changes and got very impolite answers about the cost of food. It honestly felt like we were being blamed rather than having it explained. We've enjoyed coming here for the past year but maybe this is an instance of a business that has lost its focus or grown too big too quickly. Two other couples came out and said similar things to us. The worst thing is that I shared my concerns with the manager and he said he was sorry but also seemed weirdly checked out and didn't really do anything to fix it or make it right. Overall a big disappointment.

The food was absolutely outstanding. The peace of mind that comes with knowing whatever I order and consume are safe and will not make me sick is something I have never had before while dining out. They are very busy in their but that's only because of the quality of their food worth the 30 min drive for me!

I still remember when I used to go to Kiss & Kinn Bakeshop years ago. This was long before Mike Tyson became a regular there. I like to watch TV.

Been to Kith & Kin Multiple times now. Have yet to feel the slightest disappointment. One of The best places in Lockport!

Don't let the outside of this place fool you. The outside just looks like a little house. But it's an amazing gluten-free very popular restaurant. The food options here for gluten-free, dairy free, vegan, vegetarian, free are endless. I highly recommend this place to people that enjoy home cooked delicious specialty foods. The baked goods are out of this world. Yum! The only thing I found disappointing was they did not offer "real" maple syrup for an up charge and they didn't off any unsweetened milk alternative other than soy. AKA KKBakeshop.

Owned by Kithie Lee Gifford and Kinny Loggins. Speaking of Loggins, my Yelp account has some weird Loggins lately, so if you see any captions that aren't funny at all... IT WASN'T ME. It was Shaggy. I wasn't expecting to like this cuz I usually don't like places which fit this description. Very highly rated on Yelp with a sort of hipster new-age healthy vibe to the food. I love healthy food, but it just doesn't usually get it done for me in this context. The concept usually outweighs the taste. But K & K is different. This place really surprised me because I really liked everything I ate here. They were good value and I give them 5 Stars, which I don't do lightly despite what people may say. Service is really lovely as well, even though it can take a while if you are behind someone in lind. It's worth the wait, because a lot of their products are really good. Some of them didn't do it for me as much as the others, but overall I was impressed. The chicken Florentine sandwich was amazing and the breakfast sandwich was delicious if a little cheesy. The salad really didn't do it for me, but if you like this kind of thing then their popular and imaginative salads may do it for you. As for the baked goods I prefer their actual meals but the cookies are absolutely delicious. It takes a lot for me to say that about a vegan dessert, and the gold standard is strong hearts in Syracuse, but these cookies are definitely commendable. And if I see you in here, and you're cute, don't be surprised if I ask you if I Kin get your number. It's not like I'm looking for sex. At most, maybe a kith and cuddle.

Oh my goodness, what a gift to the gluten free community-- and other allergy eaters. My friend (dairy free) brought me here on a recent trip to Buffalo, and I could not be more impressed with the food selection and quality. The restaurant itself is adorable, with ample parking in the rear of the building. And, a Little Free Library to boot! The prices are also shockingly reasonable for gluten free food. I got a delicious mac and cheese, turkey club sandwich, blueberry muffin and several pieces of a gluten free, diary free marble cake. My only regret is that I will have to wait until my next visit to try more of their menu. Any chance you'll open a branch in San Diego??

It really is that good. Located in a converted house on Transit Road (there is another building behind it , I was a little confused which to enter .You enter through the back of the primary "house"). This is a quaint little gluten-free establishment that I can't wait to re-visit. I stopped in for some gluten-free baked goods , and also wound up picking up some broccoli cheese soup, to go . I was completely satisfied with everything , and that is actually an understatement. Everything was excellent . My partner and I tried the pastry hearts, the molasses cookies, peanut butter cookies, a black and white cookie , and also-the broccoli cheese soup . I recommend all . There are maybe 8-10 ? tables inside , and they were all taken . Many people were in to take their orders to go, so all in all a hoppin' place . A nice little breakfast/lunch/dinner menu as well , I will investigate next trip. Tell all of your friends who need a gluten-free diet , and tell those who don't, as well .

I absolutely love this place!! The staff and owners are so sweet and I've been a customer since they opened the first place. They just did my baby shower sweets the cheese danish? recommend. I enjoy their bread, you can get a nice gluten free version of pumpernickel I've order before. And their cookies? if you have time I recommend eating in or getting a meal to go. The French toast has me driving half an hour at least once a month. My husband adores the Ruben sandwich and couldn't even tell it was allergy friendly. That's the best compliment when it comes to allergy friendly food.

After waiting for 15 minutes at front register being ignored by 4 people we were then informed that it would be 1:45 to get an order to go! Really, you couldn't tell people at the start that it will take that long?! Too bad couldn't try the food.

Kith and Kin started out to be very good. Their pastries were and probably are still very delicious. However, I went there for a fish fry twice. The first time the service was great and the fry was very good. The second time I waited while many customers were served before me. I finally asked a waitress when I might be getting my fish dinner, and only then after a wait, I received my dinner to go. Then next time I came in and ordered a brisket dinner. I eagerly looked forward to enjoying my take out dinner only to find that the briskey was almost entirely fat with only a fine shaving of brisket on the top. Since then I resolved to NEVER to there again. I would give Kith and Kin a half star for the pastries and vegetable sides service and brisket dinner a triple negative!!! This review is a definite negative review. No 2 stars...maybe a quarter of a star!!

Ooooolala. I sent my fiancé in to pick up some food and I'm so glad he did! The best club I've ever had in my life, hands down! The turkey alone was seriously the most delicious I've ever had, so moist and insanely good. The quiche's were fresh and tastey as well. Pastries were delectable as well. Insane turkey club though, I just moved here and sooo happy I found this place, we'll be regulars from now on :)

Super yummy spot to get 100% gluten free AND SUPER YUMMY food and pastries! I've ate here 3 times since finding out about this place from a friend. Kith & Kin is located inside a house. From the outside... ... it seems a little sketchy at first. There's a bunch of junk piled up outside of a building to the side of the restaurant. There's also no sign for the entrance, which is in the back of the building/house/restaurant. BUT, once you realize where the restaurant is and get inside, you'll have no idea you're inside someone's house! They did a great job at modeling it and every detail is clean, fun and reminiscent of a gluten free lifestyle. My favorite item is the Okie Dokie Artichokie panini! Who would've thought to put quinoa in a panini!! It's so small and lightweight you barely notice it, but it still gives flavor! I also love their salads and their pastries! I'll def be back. Some things are very affordable and some things are pricey. After all, it is 100% gluten free, so I guess I can't complain about certain things being gluten free. It's the convenience of it. Also-- gluten free really doesn't taste much different from gluten! Unless you're eating plain bread, then you'll notice a difference. Check it out and try some items yourself! They cater!

It's hard to find a place that really understands celiac disease, and this place does not disappoint. Food is also amazing, and everyone is so nice and accommodating. Definitely my favorite spot

I respect that they are 100% gluten free. As for the pizza, I thought is was ok. Cheese and pepperoni could use more flavor, but the crust was surprisingly crispy. It's not for me, but If gluten free is what you need, def try it.

Not sure why or how I've never gone in til now! My daughter and I watch our gluten and dairy intake as we have a sensitivity! Kith and Kin caters to both, so we quickly found out how outrageously good, probably the best ever honey cruller donuts are. The catch to theses donuts is only made on Friday and Saturday's. We'll we load up on all our favorite desserts every other week now! We feel guilt free eating gluten free. We haven't eaten lunch or dinner here, but we need to. We follow Kith and Kin on Instagram to see their daily/weekly specials. I'll be trying the gluten free fish fry soon. Christmas menu looks outstanding. They always have a wide variety of desserts, honestly so many kinds to choose from "all gluten free" cookies, cupcakes, cakes, pies, cannolis, donuts, muffins, scones and brownies and more. Our new favorite bakery!

I am so grateful every time I walk in here ( which is every time I'm in Lockport). Your menu is huge and completely gluten free. It's such a relief to go to a restaurant and know that every single menu item is an option without asking the waitress to check and double check for ingredients. The menu is huge, varied and delish. Usually I split with whoever I go with so we get double tastes. I never leave without pizza rounds to take home. Even spring for a crème puff yesterday. Sweet!

SUPER grateful for Kith and Kin!! This place has been a lifesaver with my dietary restrictions being GF. The Fish Fry is delicious and taste like your regular fish fry you would find at any other establishment. Their baked goods are out of this world being so good. I have also placed orders for events such as cupcakes and they are EXCELLENT!! My family enjoyed the cupcakes over the gluten filled cupcakes. The Jermyn family really put much love and dedication in the business and want everyone to have a great experience. Everything is delicious on their menu, give them a shot you will be happy you did!

I came in Kith & Kin Bakeshop & Bistro a little unaware of their gluten free mission. I was waiting for my brother to get home from work one day and looked up bakeries/coffee shops on Yelp and soon thereafter discovered Kith & Kin. The family owned business is located unassumingly in a strip mall of sorts but quiet and quaint upon entering. The staff were all very helpful - a father and daughter duo - the day I visited. There's everything at Kith & Kin well, besides gluten of course. They have a beautiful display case of baked goods - cookies, cupcakes, pies, bread, you name it. I indulged in some delicious gluten free pierogi which was so much tastier than I had anticipated. Also on the menu were a selection of flat bread pizzas and sandwiches. Kith & Kin also offers plenty of to-go options including food dishes but also frozen breads, gluten free flour, pastas... The owner told me several customers come in and do mini grocery shopping trips right in the restaurant! If you're gluten free, interested in trying gluten free food, or just want a nice place for lunch or dinner in the Lockport area, be sure to check out Kith & Kin Bakeshop & Bistro!

Amazing!!! All GF people or people with similar dietary needs absolutely need to try this place. Giant, varied menu. Totally reasonable prices. Kind staff. Good portions. Tasted fantastic and had great texture throughout, what I can't get at other places with GF items on their menu. Wish they had more locations. Even someone without dietary restrictions said that it tasted great and you couldn't tell the difference being GF. Thanks for making a girl with a sensitive stomach's dream!

Finally made it in for Friday fish fry! It was excellent and tasted just like I remember a glutenful fish fry tasting! Crispy outside and tender inside, served nice and hot. The french fries and coleslaw were very good, as were the fried mozzarella sticks we had for an appetizer. My husband is not gluten free and he loved everything just as much as me! Service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. I overheard many customers commenting on how good their meals were. Tim, the owner, came out from the kitchen to say hello to a table of people who were there for the first time. They drove in from East Aurora and were raving about the food! They said it was worth the drive!

Stopped in here for lunch a few days ago. The whole place was very clean and cute. I had the cowboy burger. It tasted pretty good but wasn't really anything to write home about. The bbq sauce was to overpowering and the whole burger tasted like the sauce and the gluten free bread. This meal came with home made potato chips. Skip out in them or ask for an upgrade if you can because the chips taste a lot like dirt. I also got a small marshmallow tea cake for dessert. This was also pretty good but there are better places in the area for desserts. Overall a cute place with decent food but it's nothing to write home about.

This cafe is a favorite of our gluten free family, but the food is delicious for any human! Fresh, hot, homemade sandwiches, baked goods, soups and entrees, literally something for everyone. Today, we had fried chicken tenders with fries, and Reuben sandwiches with homemade potato chips. Fresh, hot, crispy and delicious. The sevice is quick, friendly and fantastic. The restaurant is tiny, but they are moving to a larger location soon. Definitely check them out!

What a great place!!!!! The sweets are just to die for, the GF breads are terrific and the meals are just plain yummy! Last time we stopped in we had the red, white & blue salad with grilled chicken - simply delicious!!! Highly recommend!!

My wife jumped for joy! Gluten free, finally, she could eat anything and everything on the menu. She was like a kid in a candy shop. We both got supper she got cookies, pancake mix, and loaves of bread for later. She all but licked the plate, maybe she did that too!

They are always so nice to us!! The gluten free fish fry is delicious and you wouldn't be able to tell their cakes are gluten free. Love them.

This place is amazing. The baked goods are all so good hard to believe they are gluten free. I removed a star for one reason. I was there on a busy day. People were lined up to either pick up orders or buy baked goods from the counter. The girls at the counter and check out were very polite and efficient . The tall man there (not sure if it's the owner )was extremely rude. The line was long and he yelled at the people in the back to go outside..I think they were all stunned at the manner in which they were approached and no one moved for a minute and he said " What are you staring at? Get out of here there's a pandemic going on! " These people are your customers. They are patiently waiting in line to give you their money . If they were asked politely to please wait outside I'm sure everyone would have readily obliged. There is no need to berate your patrons . I was checking out at the time and the group that were yelled at were not waiting outside, I believe they left and I don't blame them. The baked goods amazing , rest of the staff great but I do not think I'll be back. Kith&Kin..not very Kind.

I would have given it two 1/2 stars if that was an option. They changed their menu and now offer mostly sandwiches, burgers and some breakfast items. They had an excellent stir fry which you don't see in many restaurants, they also had more entrees before, now it seems like a sandwich shop.
