Probably the best gluten-free cafe & bakery in London, Ma Ma is a great little cafe offering an amazing range of gluten-free and vegan bread, savoury snacks and cakes, all made on-site with no cross-contamination. The coffee is great too and I make a bee-line for the place when I'm in the area.

We went here for my mum's birthday as she has celiac disease and she can't have anything with gluten at all. We tried the original sourdough, lemon and fennel sourdough, cheese ham and tomato pastries and the chocolate chip banana bread. All of these products were great - We could not believe they were gluten free! It was better than any other sourdough bread I have tried. The same can be said about the pastries and banana bread - they were just so good! (also the detail and design on the bread was beautiful!) Alongside this the service was great. A super kind and lovely man served us (one of the owners) I would recommend this place to anyone (gluten free or not) Thank you! :)Dietary restrictions: Gluten free for someone with celiac disease

A lovely cozy spot with desserts and some savoury options. The blueberry cake was great! I definitely recommend checking this bakery out.The part that is really outstanding about this small business is how they care about their customers. I first encountered their products at a local market and after trying their cheesecake left a review with constructive feedback. The owner apologised for the situation and offered some complementary options and after visiting their place and talking to the owner in person who explained everything in detail, I trust that it was a one-off oversight.This business takes feedback seriously and acts on it and this is what creates trust with the customers. Another positive side is that the owner of this business was a proponent of the local street food market rather than an opponent like some other business owners were, which is really important for the ecosystem.Bumping 4 stars into 5 and leaving the original review here for transparency:“The cheesecake was good although to be honest it tasted pretty basic. The price/quality ratio seemed a bit off for that one to me”

Our son is coeliac and this has been the first time we have found such delicious bread. The staff are incredibly friendly and the cakes and pastries are delicious too.

An elegant and cosy place with a calm, friendly atmosphere, perfect to sit and relax. But what's most important here - gluten-free baked goods! It is one of the best gluten-free bread I have eaten, with perfect texture and taste! Sourdough bread, plain or with multi seeds, a really imperceptible difference between traditional, good bread from a small, family-owned, artisan bakery :)

The food is so tasty and high quality. And totally gluten free!! But you’d never know. We all loved our treats, from my son with celiac to friends with no gluten allergies. Everything was clearly labeled with other allergens as well. And they were super friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!!

Absolutely delicious gluten free cakes in a lovely cafe with friendly owners. Having tried a lot of gluten free cakes these were among the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely be coming back. We brought our dog who was made very welcome too.

So I wanted to give a review for Ma Ma Boutique, after I visited yesterday.I want to be clear and say that I am giving it 3 stars as I do not think I can score this any higher, as my experience of the bakery is limited.I was so happy that a GF bakery had opened near me and was excited to attend. Sadly for me, the majority of their cakes are made with almond flour and as I have a nut allergy it prevents me from tasting the majority of the menu. What I will say is, the Victoria sponge cake slice looked moist and appetising, if I could have eaten it I would have!The gentleman who helped me was very helpful and confirmed what I could eat. I happily got the blueberry banana bread which was moist and enjoyable. In the photo I took I had eaten some of it. I got it to take away and it came in a fitting cake box.The bakery did not have lots of sitting space and the place was busy. I will note that the plates were all empty which I think is generally a good sign.We did not go until later in the day, whereby there were lots of cakes and one type of roll available to buy.I would recommend you give it a try, however if you come from further away seating is not guaranteed.

Absolutely amazing gluten free cake and bread. Recommend the raspberry frangipan. My friend was vegan so lots of choice for her as well. Lovely owner, very friendly. Highly recommend

The most delicious gluten free café! I’m such a regular here, having waited months for it to open, I’m always devouring every treat they have to offer. From cinnamon rolls to sourdough loaves to muffins and carrot cake, I cannot get enough of the delicious range and the vegan options too! Always a favourite and Nigel and Marzena are the loveliest two around! Would highly recommend for coeliacs!
A jewel of bakery. Have been looking for a gf bakery for a long time, and ma ma was shared by a coeliac instagramer, so glad I looked it up and tried their bread.

The best gluten free bread I have ever tasted! Even though I am trying to follow keto diet and don’t eat much bread, I ate the bread within 3 days of buying it. It was so yummy. I also tried a spinach and feta pastry (which I got as a free treat) and almond and orange cake and they were both delicious. I will definitely be visiting them again. I wish they sold carrot cake as well.

My sister and I were in bad need of a coffee and a small bite, but looking for a healthy place to go to was our main concern. Ma Ma Boutique Bakery ticked all the boxes, as their coffee is DELICIOUS and their cakes (some of them) are vegan, so we could eat happily without any worries of the cakes having gélatine. There are savory pastries too, like spinach and feta, which is halal. All the items have a label above them with the ingredients, but if in doubt, take something vegan, as they have a large range of items.

Finally got a chance to drop by this lovely gluten free bakery today, and it did not disappoint! I got a very friendly welcome from Nigel, one of the owners - you can tell that they care a lot about their customers. I was so thrilled to have such a broad selection, and everything I got was delicious: the breakfast roll, sourdough bread, banana bread... to name a few! I highly recommend!
