We believe everyone deserves a truly exceptional croissant.
At Off The Gluten Path, Cape Town's dedicated gluten-free bakery and cafe in Woodstock, our croissants deliver everything you expect from a great pastry — delicate layers, a golden finish, and that irresistible balance of richness and flakiness — all completely gluten-free and safe for coeliacs. Every croissant is baked in our dedicated GF kitchen, with no cross-contamination risk.
We offer our classic buttery croissant and a vegan version, made without dairy or eggs, for anyone with additional dietary needs.
But great food is about more than what ends up on your plate — it's also about what happens to the ingredients along the way.
Less Waste. More Creativity.
We work with premium ingredients, and we believe they deserve to be treated with care. Any croissants left at the end of the day are never simply thrown out — they're freshly reworked, the next day, into something new: our almond croissants started life this way, and now we're taking it further, transforming plain croissants into indulgent Nutella croissants or white chocolate and pistachio croissants.
Then There's You: Bake Your Own at Home
Buy our plain croissants unbaked and finish them yourself — add your favourite chocolate, nuts, fruit, preserves, cream, or anything else you can dream up. Our buttery and vegan croissants are available baked or unbaked, and our frozen croissants make it easy to recreate that fresh-from-the-oven experience whenever you like — just bake according to the pack instructions.
Because being gluten-free shouldn't mean compromising on craftsmanship, indulgence or choice.
