A trip out to Bexley for coffee and lemon bars? Yes, please. Cherbourg does an amazing job at gluten-free baking, but let's scratch that and say instead that it is an amazing bakery. Neither my spouse nor I are gluten-free and we both enjoy visits to Cherbourg. It's a nice stop to pick up something special to bring over to a friend's house too. read more

Amazing service and experience. Highly recommend if you are gluten-free or just want to try something new. Very inclusive restaurant.

Still 5 stars. My family and I have been eating here for a very long time and it's still excellent. The bakery has really carved out it's spot here in Columbus and Geri will be opening another location in Cypress of Cincinnati soon as well. We are excited to visit. Pour over coffee and baked goods are still amazing and the quality is still top notch. Still made with farm fresh eggs and farm butter from happy grass grazing cows. Something husband and I both appreciate. An added bonus is a couple of years ago she made it competley dye free as well. So no gluten, nuts, or dyes but still all the taste and texture you would expect from a fine bakery. Coffee still takes awhile being that its pour over and made to order so let them know you want coffee right away so they can get it started as you mull over which treat, or two or three, you will buy. Every Fall I look forward to the seasonal pumpkin bars and spiced doughnuts. This most recent Winter she offered egg nog and peppermint stick doughnuts that have become something to look forward to as well. In the Spring and Summer I lean towards the citrus side of things with the lemon bars and pink lemonade doughnuts and on hot days I get an iced coffee. Everything she offers is good. I miss the polenta cake though. For some reason, even though they said it was a top seller, they don't bake it for everyday anymore. They can still be special ordered. If you are ever in and it happens to be offered do yourself a favor and get a slice. The last few times I have gone they have had cream puffs out. They used to be special order but sometimes they had extras and sold them in the case. I'm hoping that they are a new daily staple because forget Schmidt's. These cream puffs are lighter with just enough bite but still so airy in your mouth. Honestly I don't know how they can be this texture and be gluten free. I'm happy to see this bakery has not only stuck around but is expanding and I wish her well! read more

Cherbourg Bakery - It's true. Gluten free cream puffs that have the taste and texture (actually better imo) than dare I say it, Schmidt's! - Bakeries Near Me - Bexley, Ohio

As someone who has been eating gluten free most of my life due to Celiac Disease, this place is my dream come true. EVERYTHING here is gluten free! It's also all not just gluten free, but it's actually GOOD. A lot of times I will get gluten free baked goods that are ~okay~ but every single thing that I have had from here is incredible. They also have a variety of vegan options as well which is very nice. They serve local coffee which is also a bonus and the customer service is always great. I could rave on and on about this place, but truly what I like most is how "normal" it makes me feel. I can stroll in and order ANYTHING I want without having to ask to read ingredients, etc etc. I highly highly recommend this place to those who eat gluten free and those who don't! I've brought many friends here who are able to eat gluten and they love it as well! read more

Hands down favorite bakery in Columbus. I love Geri. The desserts are great. I love the strata. The lemonbars will change your life. Have been coming here for so long. They also do specialty orders. So delicious makes me think I'm not gluten free. read more

Just excellent. Bought the strawberry cookies- scone like but chewier texture and the fresh strawberries make it. Lemon bars are amazing- both the lemon and the crust. Frosted sugar cookies are incredible. Super buttery frosting and lots of it- beautiful piping too. Can't wait to try more! read more

I'm in love with their coffee. I come here during my lunch break at work and their coffee always saves me. I'll get the iced or hot coffee. The beans are freshly ground and they take such pride in their pourovers. I enjoy all of their baked goods. The staff is super friendly and there is just such a welcoming nice vibe there. read more

Delicious gluten free treats! I cannot wait until the next time im here again to grab some chocolate dipped doughnuts. They were absolute heaven. Price is affordable and to be honest less than other popular overpriced gluten free bakeries. Portions were spot on. Plenty of options to choose from when I was there. Very friendly service. I love supporting local small businesses and I will give this place praise to everyone I can because it really is that good. Gluten free or not please try this place. read more

Everything about this place is excellent, from the food, to the staff, to the actual bakery itself. They are always pulling fresh food out of the oven, and you can watch the whole process. The staff clearly love the food they make, and are happy to give recommendations. I have tried many of their menu items and am yet to be disappointed. However, if I had to recommend something it would be the s'more blondie for something sweet or the quiche for something savory. Go in the morning and take time to sit and enjoy a great breakfast read more

Wow! What a great find in Bexley! The blueberry muffins and lemon squares are out of this world. Wonderful, friendly staff too!!

I recently learned I am allergic to gluten. My cousin recommend this shop to me through her experiences with allergies to dairy and gluten products. When I arrived to this quaint little shop, I was unsure about how impressed I would be. I had never had any gluten free baked goods. I was blown away. I tried an espresso brownie and a lemon bar, both were incredible. If you have a gluten allergy, or just in the mood for a tasty treat, you have to try this bakery! read more

Cherbourg Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Bexley, Ohio

I absolutely love this bakery. Everything tastes great! As someone who has a nut-allergy, this bakery is truly fantastic. I know a few people who are gluten free and this bakery is a great place for me to buy treats that we can both enjoy! The bakery is located in a great space and parking is not hard to find. I highly recommend Cherbourg to anyone visiting Columbus or looking for treats as gifts or desserts to bring to a party. read more

Small bakery with a great selection. Gluten free. I gave always walked away happy with great baked goods.

One of my absolute favorite places! Food is always amazing. The strata is perfect. Owner and employees are super great as well. Alway have a wonderful experience. A must try if you have never been!! read more

so many options and people behind register are always friendly! gluten free is a plus for me

Cherbourg's egg Strata is probably my favorite food item in Columbus. I could go on about all of the other things I like to get there (hello lemon squares) but the Strata is hands-down my favorite item on the menu. Sometimes they sell out quickly, so you can always order 24-48 hours ahead or call to hold a slice! read more

Wouldn't be able to tell you it was gluten free if I tried. It's definitely not sugar free! Wonderful offering of baked goods with some French pastry influences. On my lineup was an espresso brownie, smore bar and madeleine. Madeleine was great, light and spongy with a hint of vanilla. The brownie was rich and decadent, with just the hint of coffee bitterness to compliment the chocolate. Star of the show was the smore bar, so good I forgot to share it with the wife (guess I have a return trip in my future). Five stars all the way, wonderful bakery with cheerful service. read more

Awesome bakery delicious treats taste buds on cloud nine. This little hidden treasure in Bexley Ohio is a must stop for anyone living in Bexley or driving through Bexley. Every baked good is freshly made every day and you can tell. They have a wonderful menu with gluten free options. You can just tell they know how to make baked goods here with every bite your mouth is craving another one and another one and another one. I destroyed a monster blueberry muffin it fell apart so lightly and crumbles on the top or so sweet and savory. And blueberries were nice and big cooked to perfection you didn't have to search for them. Now that atmosphere of the location is quite unique. They have several small little tables nothing major and they play decent music but there's also seating outside as well so that was nice. I came back the very next day and try something new and loved it just as equally so the bakers here are top notch and doing a really good job you have to come here you have to try these baked goods. I can compare it to maybe like an American bald eagle flying in my mouth and exploding with a firecracker on the Fourth of July it's that good lol read more

Great spot! Gluten-free options were wonderful to have since I am not eating gluten now and the Madeline we got when we just stopped by was fantastic. Unfortunately we were too full to eat something else but we'll be back to try out those lemon bars we're hearing so much about. And brunch! Yes, brunch...yum!!! read more

Totally Gluten Free Bakery. They have the Best Gluten Free Donuts!! Cinnamon sugar are amazing.

A nut-free, gluten-free bakery just miles from my house. Gosh I love Bexley! You pretty much can't go wrong here. My husband isn't gluten-free and still goes crazy for their baked goods. I love popping in every so often and getting a pour over coffee with a lemon bar. They have a lot of seating considering how small the bakery is. Their staff is friendly and if I lived any closer - I'd eat their donuts every morning. read more

Review Haiku: Donuts, brownies, cake. Desserts for the glutarded. Cherbourg has it all. Delicious gluten free bakery. Everyone was incredibly nice and cheerful. Our favorites were the donuts and the lemon bars. We're looking at them doing our wedding cake too! read more

Pastries were very good. No pics because we were focused on eating ‍. Also the person that helped us was very nice. My daughter bakes and she had a lot of questions and even showed some of her cakes. He gave her some advice and compliments. We don't live in the area, but next time we pass through we will be back. read more

Lemon bar and lavender citrus cake are my faves! My boyfriend likes the s'mores bar.

You don't have to be gluten free to love this place. All the desserts I've tried (at least 8 of them) have been delicious. I wouldn't know the difference about the lack of flour. Cute store with a handful of seats and outside seating as well. All-around adorable AND tasty. P.S. They can do large orders for parties. read more

Cute little bakery right by the university. Nice ambience. Would have loved more options with food and coffees, but it's nice and affordable. read more

Absolutely delicious. First time coming here and it won't be the last. The desserts were so delicate and I felt like I took a trip to Heaven while eating the chocolate brownie. So many options to choose from. I love that this bakery doesn't limit the options. The options are limitless where it is so hard to choose what you want which is a good thing. read more

I love this place! A go to if you have a gluten allergy/intolerance. I would still recommend it if you had no allergies. I am not a huge sweet person , but when I get a craving, I come here. The cinnamon sugar donut and chocolate donut are amazing. Not too dense. The cheese/jalapeño bites are also addicting. Friendly and helpful staff as well. read more

Amazing, delicious gluten free treats and a super friendly staff! A delight to find in Columbus!

Best gluten free bakery in Columbus. They are truly the gluten free baking champs. My wife has celiacs so we get products from here regularly. I especially like the brownies. read more

Excellent! Genuinely friendly staff. Everything we tried was delicious: strata, lemon square, zucchini loaf for breakfast and a citrus lavendar muffin, mini loaf and rosemary polenta to go. Lovely atmosphere and we sat outside to enjoy our breakfast and tea. My husband and I are gluten-free (intolerance for me and my husband went gf to support me but as a result, his daily headaches went away). It was wonderful to eat all of these treats and not taste like the bleh gf products out there. I was very happy to learn they have some items at Whole Foods in Cleveland, where we live near. Yay! read more

I used to get there sugar cookies all the time but now they upped the price 50 cents; come on $2.50 for a sugar cookie?! The actual sugar cookie is pretty bland, I'm basically just paying for the über good butter icing but now the price is just too high. read more

I am some what of donut connoisseur from the days of Thurns Bakery in German Village! I stopped by for a donut. A singe donut is almost $3 an a brownie about $3 They were both a joke! Save your money!! Go to Jolly Pirates read more

Simply amazing. Their baked goods are so good it's almost unbelievable they're gluten and nut-free. This bakery is what every neighborhood in America needs - great food, strong coffee, and kind employees. read more

This place is legit! If you're like me and don't eat gluten because you are Celiac then this is heaven on earth! I am always skeptical about gluten free claims but ate here WITHOUT INCIDENT. And if you're celiac then you know that is critical. Everything I have tried has been delicious. (And I've tried many things.) The s'mores bar was so unusual...like nothing I have ever tasted. And the muffins were moist and flavorful without any texture issues. I even bought enough to last me several days and it stayed fresh and delicious. All I can say is thank you Cherbourg. Thank you! read more

A hidden gem that's right around the corner from my house. Took a walk down Main Street and saw a line out the door as I passed this place on Drexel. Walked in and had a great cup of "pour over" coffee and had the best lemon bar I have ever had! The donuts were so tasty as well. read more
