Absolutely amazing place! The food is the best you will ever have!!! You can't even tell it's gluten free! The people working there are incredibly kind and your food comes fast! There is indoor and outdoor seating and it feels like a loving home. We went here every day on our Ashland trip and will continue to do so when we return! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I love Vida!!!! read more

Vida Baking - Bakeries Near Me - Ashland, Oregon

i really wanted to like vida baking co. because everyone talks it up, but honestly it just didn't live up to the hype for me. the place looks cute and cozy when you walk in, but it was way more crowded than i expected and kinda stressful just trying to stand in line. nobody really explained where the line even started so people were just awkwardly hovering. i got a latte and an acai bowl and both were just... okay at best. the coffee tasted straight up burnt and bitter, like the espresso shot sat way too long or something. i still drank it because it wasn't cheap, but it definitely wasn't enjoyable. the acai bowl looked pretty but the fruit didn't seem very fresh and the texture was kinda watery. the wait felt really long for just coffee and food. i don't mind waiting if something is amazing, but nothing really stood out. the staff weren't rude or anything, just seemed overwhelmed and not very welcoming. what bothered me most though was that the place just felt unsanitary. i saw an employee making a sandwich wearing only a single glove instead of two and it just kinda grossed me out. maybe there's a reason for that but it didn't look very clean or professional. maybe i just went on an off day, but for the prices i expected way better quality and service. i left feeling disappointed and still kinda hungry which sucks for a bakery experience. read more

To highlight the good things: The staff was extremely nice and welcoming. The place and its location are really charming. The café is very clean and has a pleasant atmosphere. Things I wasn't too excited about: There weren't many fresh bakes available when we visited, and the matcha, unfortunately, wasn't very good. A small recommendation to the staff: It seems the matcha used isn't ceremonial grade, which is understandable given the price. However, some suppliers now sell ceremonial matcha in bulk online--I'd definitely take a look, as higher-quality matcha could really boost your drink menu. I'd also personally consider trying another oat milk brand instead of the Costco one. Another thing worth adjusting is how the matcha powder is stored. Matcha is sensitive to light, and since it's kept in a clear container, it can oxidize and turn yellow (and possibly become more bitter). A dark or metal container would help keep it fresher. I only tried the matcha, so the rest of the drinks may be great--I just didn't get the chance to try them. Wishing you all the best with the business! read more

Fabulous GF food with delicious flavors. I enjoyed the egg salad sandwich and the rest of the table devoured the waffles with fresh fruit surrounding each segment. The mocha with coconut milk was yummy too. Definitely a stop worth making while traveling up the interstate. read more

Super friendly staff, I could tell regulars stopped in and they knew each other. Everything here is gluten free, which was amazing. I enjoyed a coffee and sweet potato muffin which was not too sweet! My son had a cinnamon roll and my other son enjoyed the Brazilian bread. Outside seating has bright yellow umbrellas and the cheerful decor and breezy inside gives you a carefree relaxed feeling. I enjoyed relaxing with a sunbeam warming my Skin. read more

Very tasty brewed coffee. There's a light brew and a dark brew at the ready with choice milks. On a busy Sunday morning, the place had space for all to sit indoors or out, to take orders to-go or linger. Well-managed with an efficient kitchen staff (yay!). I will return and bring more out-of-town guests. read more

Love everything about this place. The food was so good- had an amazing dill and salmon quiche- so fluffy and delicious - perfect crust and filling. Asked the girl behind the counter what her fav was and she directed me to this Brazilian chocolate covered corn muffin- omg so good- super messy to eat but that was half the fun. Friendly staff and amazing food- what else do you need? read more

Hidden gem. Great friendly staff, chill vibes, and great for lunch. Turkey Sandwich is great with avocado. Chatted with who I think was the owner and sounds like they have a breakfast sandwich coming soon. Will be first in line for that. read more

A fantastic spot for those with celiac, Vida bakery has delicious food for those who CAN eat gluten as well. I still think about the pao de quejo (brazilian cheese bread made with tapioca flour) with tuna that I had here three years later. Uber-charming bakery in Ashland that I wish I could return to on a daily basis! read more

Gayle and I have a soft spot for yummy baked goods, and as these sort of places have come and gone in Ashland over the years, we were pleased to enjoy our visit to VIDA Baking. It's Brazilian and with gluten free goodies that you would never guess. Cookies and Scones are the favorites and our only regrets were not stopping by more often and maybe taking a sweet loaf of something home. Counter service was fast and friendly, with a casual and welcoming ambiance. read more

There is nothing but good things to say about Vida! This Brazilian bakery is a must-stop for a weekend sweet treat. Vida is an entirely gluten free bakery!! In small towns like Ashland, it is a luxury to have a bakery this delicious where the entire menu is gluten free. My favorite things to order are the coconut gem or one of their scones. This bakery never misses and changes flavors quite regularly. As for drinks, their chai latte is amazing. Even better if it is iced and you sit out on the patio taking in the views. Vida can get relatively busy for such a small space, so plan ahead. There is a big free parking lot right across the street. The service is fast and friendly. The girls at the counter are always quick to give you a smile. Vida is top of the list for bakeries in Ashland! read more

as someone with celiac, dedicated GF bakeries are such a blessing. and i think those without any kind of gluten restriction would be a big fan of most of these options i'm a big fan of pão de queijo, so was happy to see our sandwiches served on it. kind of small, but enjoyable and reasonably priced. my dad wasn't as big of a fan of the bread once it was panini-pressed for his ham sandwich though. so maybe one that's not--like the caprese, veggie, and egg salad options--would be more enjoyable to others as well? most disappointingly, we ordered 3 small rolls of pão de queijo that tasted stale. the frozen Trader Joe's ones are easily better than the ones we tasted. however! the same bread for our sandwiches was realllyy good, so i know they can do it well! not sure what happened with those was also nice having an iced latte, but i noticed kirkland oat milk on both visits, which is definitely cross-contaminated with gluten. that's concerning for a dedicated gf bakery. if celiac or otherwise sensitive to wheat, i would ask about their methods before ordering a hot latte the cupcake was good, but i liked the frosting more than the cake part itself. was a bigger fan of the chocolate ginger cookie despite a couple concerns, i do wish they had a closer location to me! read more

The best sandwich on the planet is found at VIDA...and it happens to be dedicated Gluten Free?! My favorite on their menu is the smoked salmon sandwich, closely followed by the turkey sandwich which comes with tomato jam!! Their bread has that airy chewiness that so many other gluten free places can't seem to get as perfect as Vida does it. What else can I say? Every time I'm in Ashland I swing by Vida to get myself a treat. If your bucket list doesn't include tasting their chocolate banana bread, your list is incomplete. Always Great service, Lovely vibe, read more

I can't imagine Ashland without Vida at this point. Delicious food (and drinks), welcoming atmosphere and staff. They have fantastic live music, especially on First Friday, when honestly, Vida feels like the center of the universe, with a lively crowd that pours out onto the street in the best way. Definitely worth checking out, whether you are gluten-free or not! read more

Easy to find and park nearby. Everything is Gluten free. Added bonus very dog friendly. Ordered an açaí bowl and was delicious.

I was very excited about this place given that I'm gf. The quiche was excellent - as was the pumpkin muffin - two thumbs up. But things went downhill with the pistachio brownie which either was very old - you know how old brownies crumble and are kinda crystallized - or it was just the way it was made. And since i don't drink coffee, I had a matcha latte with coconut milk which was so watery I had to dump it. Service was nice - it was very quiet in there. I will likely come back and try a few other things off the menu. read more

Nice little place off the beaten path. I had Life Changing Toast. Hummus and Avocado. It was tasty. I didn't care for the avocado mixture. I guess I like avocado that looks and tastes like avocado and not an oily paste. The seeded bread was amazing. I was a little surprised at the super small portion. I would come back but will order something different. read more

Super tasty caprese sandwich. Fresh everything! BUT the sandwich was extremely small. And it cost over $9. Similarly, the shredded pork sandwich was also too small and expensive. Other Ashland restaurants offer more food for $9, so not sure where their model is off. My stomach is growling! read more

A little escape to Brazil right here in Ashland. The little dining area was so cozy with additional outdoor bistro tables perfect for families and furry kids. We were gluttonous with our order: pistachio brownie, two types of quiche, pao de queijo roll, pao de queijo focaccia- 2 types, mocha doce de leite, and Brazilian carrot cupcake. Each bite was savored. The entire time we ate there was a line to order, I can see why this place was such a hit. Icing on the cake was the coffee was delicious. read more

A definite visit when in Ashland. Gluten free eaters paradise. Less so for vegans btu some good options Low sweet mocha was very good. They were out of oat milk so they recommended hemp. I have to dirty Lotte which was with adapter genic mushrooms and must've had turmeric as well. It looked like a golden latte and tasted similar. Still not convinced I got the Charlie latte but either way it was very good My partner had the famous Brazilian gluten-free cheese roll. read more

I stop here every time I am in town. Gluten free happiness. Love everything but dream of the quiche.

Being a complete gluten free bakery, I thought it had possibilities to explore. Arrived around 12 and much of their bakery items were sold out. We chose their pesto sandwich on baguette, tho it was quite small to share the flavor was delicious It was worth taking time to enjoy every bite Definitely worth driving down from Central Point Next time I will arrive earlier and try out their sweet offerings read more
