The Gluten Free Epicurean is unquestionably one of my favorite bakeries in the city. It’s the only gluten-free bakery in Vancouver that I know of that uses aromatic herbs like rosemary in their cookies. Yup, you read that right… rosemary in cookies.
To say it’s divine is an understatement as this bakery pushes the boundary by introducing savory concepts to sweet treats. Besides a rosemary chocolate chip cookie, there’s also pumpkin cookies, cookies loaded with walnuts, and others oozing with marshmallows and chocolate.
