Pasteleria La Oriental – Sin Gluten
La Oriental has 2 locations right next to each other. One is completely 100% gluten free and the other isn’t. However, you won’t find too much of a difference in inventory and that’s thanks to the cutest owner.
She wants to make gluten intolerant people feel normal and so she doesn’t skimp the catalog. Instead, you’ll find Spanish classics all over the bakery.
The owner got the idea to become gluten free by listening to customers who couldn’t eat her products. More and more clients kept asking for gluten free. She dedicated a whole other side to La Oriental due to this so there is 0 chance of gluten contamination.
Her pastry chefs are all professionally trained but also certified in gluten free cooking and work with the Madrid Celiac Association. Feel safe here because they truly got it covered.
