My mom and I have consistently gone to this bakery for years and it's our favorite place to get gluten free baked goods. There are many options and some delicious sandwiches too! read more

Went here with my mother to pick up desserts for Easter. As this was our first time there, I asked the young woman behind the counter for recommendations and was treated rudely. Maybe the staff was tired or maybe they figure they are locally popular enough, they don't have to be friendly to new faces, but fortunately there are other bakeries to go to. read more

This gluten free bakery is the real deal. Cases filled with baked treats, all of the gluten free variety and every one as delicious as the next. If you're thinking gluten free is dry and crumbly, you haven't tried Vin-Chets... no, seriously! read more

Vin-Chet is a staple GF treat provider in Buffalo. Is everything Gluten-free? yes. Is it good? well, that depends on the strength of your sweet tooth & the depth of your wallet. Their savory items (rolls, crusts, breadcrumbs) are all great and fine choices for the gluten-conscious among us, but their sweets are SO SWEET. I mean, cloying, nauseating, one-bite-and-you-want-to-vomit sweet. I don't know why they can't find balance, and I swear if they cut the sugar in half their items would be enjoyable, but I can't get past the sweetness... it's like trying to swallow a dry mouthful of granulated sugar. Everyone who works here is also very sweet, but that doesn't cancel out the cloying sweetness of the products they sell- for a rather high price. Their lunch items (prepared in house) are expensive and overrated. Occasionally they have a balanced cupcake, but that's usually due to a citrus flavor where the acidity naturally helps balance out the sugar content. If you're gluten-free and you neeeeed sweets, go to Kith and Kin Bakery out in Lockport. 100x better, balanced, and much less expensive. read more

A great little home town bakery and deli catering to the gluten free clientele. My brother avoids gluten and we wanted to grab a sandwich. We ended up here and I enjoyed a spectacular sandwich that would compete with any sandwich anywhere. No concessions or sacrifices made to eat gluten free. Delish!!! read more

What a great little bakery!!! Everything is gluten free, and the staff was extremely nice, personable and welcoming. They did not push themselves onto us as we looked around for a birthday cake, but pointed us in the right direction. This is a great place to go to get "normal" bakery food for people who have a gluten intolerance. read more

We visited for the first time today and are already excited to come back! Their customer service was fabulous....we instantly felt very welcomed, comfortable and had personalized service. Thank you for putting our minds at ease as we serve our out of town guests this weekend! read more

Vin Chet's is a must for celiacs living in the area. Great cupcakes, rolls, and all around baked goods with none of the worry. Centrally located near Kensington and Harlem means I don't have to drive all the way out to Lockport or South Buffalo. read more

Just when I think I can't find something better than the last item I tasted at Vin-Chet's, they surprise me yet again! I went to pick up my order today of cranberry orange muffins and blueberry muffins and when I got there, what do I see but double chocolate muffins and lemon poppyseed muffins! So I wasn't heading back to Hamburg without those, too. And they are both AMAZING!! Thank you for always making such amazing products and the staff is so helpful and friendly. read more

Great snacks, baked goods. Gluten free items marked and taste great. Stop in and get some cupcakes, I can enjoy a 4 pack all week. read more

Vin-Chet Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Amherst, New York

I had their apple pie this week gluten free Wonderful!! They are the best I would like a home made cocunut cake with pineapple filling 8 inch And another 8 inch of one side Gran Marier And the other side yellow cake with pineapple filling Do you think this request is possible?? read more

So unfortunate that the staff here doesn't seem to understand what covid-19 is! I used to love getting holiday baked goods here but since the pandemic started and the staff refuses to wear masks correctly around customers AND customers food, it's best to avoid this place. me and my family and friends have unaffectionately named this "the trump bakery" because of the proudly-displayed trump 2020 paraphernalia we saw when we went in around thanksgiving (even though they had trump 2020 masks they still weren't wearing them right) and just last thursday i went to pick up an order for christmas and the lady who waited on me at the counter and assembled my order was blatantly not wearing a mask or gloves. it's gross. it's unhygienic. and it recklessly spreads the pandemic. all businesses are required to tell their employees to wear masks and enforce that policy in new york state. did you not get the memo????? there is such little selection for gluten free baked goods in buffalo, it's such a disappointment to have to cut this one out. while their baked goods are truly great for being gluten free, the lack of basic safety protocol means that there could be just about any germs in your food and they would neither think twice nor care. read more

While the bakery's products are a good option for those on a gluten free diet, it is very concerning that the employees do not wear masks and gloves when attending to customers. We thought maybe we stopped in at a bad moment the first time this happened, but upon a few more visits to give them another chance, we found the lack of mask/glove wearing to be a regular trend with this business. Very upsetting that they are not following the rules set by the Department of Health to ensure customer (and employee) safety. read more

I was in there yesterday 3/11/21 and very disappointed. Owner and staff member had NO MASKS. They are a specialty bakery who serves people with auto immune concerns and allergies and they are not taking precautions. Will NOT support them again. How selfish they are to the customers they serve . read more

Didnt read the prior reviews before stopping by today so didn't know...young girl behind the counter had a mask on told her I would feel better if her coworker was wearing a mask and she repeated my request to unmasked coworker who ignored the request so I walked out...real shame because the baked goods are so good and was planning on spending a lot of money...ignorant and disrespectful!!! read more

I have definitely tried to go gluten free in my lifetime and it isn't an easy change to go about. But if or when that happens this place is around the corner and literally has everything! Muffins, cupcakes, bread, pasta, pizza, etc! The list goes on. Not to mention the cupcakes we tried were delicious! I couldn't even tell the difference from a normal cupcake! Melt in your mouth delicious! Gluten free heaven. read more

Vin-Chet Bakery - Smores and pumpkin cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Amherst, New York

I have NO idea how it's possible that Vin Chet doesn't have a yelp review yet! They need one, so here I am to deliver it. Not only has Vin Chet been known for delicious baked goods for years (especially that Italian cake with the cannoli filling, i.e. cassata cake) but they're recently ventured into the gluten free world and run a certified GF shop a few days a week. They have gluten free products available Tuesday through Saturday in the freezer cases, as well fresh items towards the end of the week. My experience with the fresh stuff in summer is that yes, it does mold as quickly as regular bread - so refrigerate it! They cover all the bases of baked goods with the GF tag - almond rings and other pastries, rolls, breads, cookies, cakes, etc. My favorite product is the cottage bread - it's made with cottage cheese and toasts up beautifully. Their stuff can be found all over town including Dash's Market, Feel-Rite stores in the southtowns, Braymiller's Market, the Lexington Co-op, Lancaster Deli, and Leo's Elite Bakery in Rochester. Most of the GF stuff is made with Bob's Red Mill flours but unfortunately they also use canola/soybean oils in the breads so they aren't fully "paleo" or "primal" but for the Celiacs out there, they're pretty ideal. A few times a year they have tasting events and invite everyone to come by and try everything they make for free! You can sign up on their mailing list or check their fb page to get info on those events. read more

Vin Chet bakery is pretty much a dream come true for a celiac sufferer like me. Gluten free baked goods can be hard to come by, especially ones that are baked in a certified GF kitchen. And usually your selection is limited. But Vin Chet has a wide variety of delicious gluten free baked goods! Donuts, almond rings, cookies, the works! They also have a small freezer where you can buy various types of GF frozen pizza, and many kinds of GF bread. I had a peanut donut which was light and delicious. It tasted like an actual donut rather than the heavier cake-like consistency that a lot of GF donuts seem to suffer from. I also had a chocolate peanut butter cupcake which was first of all, very large (not that I'm complaining) and really good. The peanut butter frosting had just the right amount of sweetness. I also got a loaf of bread and almond ring, but I've frozen those for later. If they're the same quality as the donut and cupcake then I'm in for a treat! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

This is the best gluten free bakery ever! I am there at least once or twice a week! I serve their gluten free breads, pizza, donuts, pies, cakes and cookies , etc. to friends and family...they can't tell the difference. Thanks, Nancy and crew! read more

I like it but many times shelves are empty Bring back the ginger bread cookie read more

My family was introduced to Vin-Chet from a family member of their family Lucy Spampata in the 1960's. We fell in love with what they made and it became a regular item on our table. The most special item was a Christmas Tree coffee cake that we always got for a snack before bed after midnight Mass on 12/24. I still remember it well even as the youngest of 6 I got a nice size piece to go with the hot cocoa my mom made to help us sleep. I wish I had a photo to share. read more

Absolutely the BEST gluten free bakery I've been to. Such a selection! Celiac Safe... amazing texture... You'd never know their treats are gluten free. read more

No masks or pandemic protocols being followed at all. Good for you for standing up for your freedoms lol but I will be paying for overpriced gluten free baked goods elsewhere from now on. read more

I was given a beautifully decorated cake from Vin-Chet for my birthday. the cake was moist and delicious. I would say that it was probably one of the best gluten free cakes that I have every had. Many members of my family have a gluten issue for over 35 years. I thought that I would be going to this bakery myself until I learned that they do not follow the health safety regulations. In this day and age not following health protocol for food consumption is just unthinkable. An too not wear mask during a high transmission period of Covid-19 is just unethical. I will not recommend or go to this place of business. Nor will I be purchasing these goods again from their outlets. In this day an age when so many individuals need special diets to help with daily lives to keep them feeling healthy, its a shame that a place of business believes that their beliefs are more important especially when the ones that have the scientific knowledge of what is suppose to happen are shunned and ignored. To bad because I have many people that I would have suggested that they go right to the shop and purchase from there. read more

The holiday cookies were amazing. Kathy was friendly and personable. The best part it was gluten-free cookies. I couldn't tell the difference. I will definitely buy more cookies and almost forgot those fabulous cupcakes. read more

I really enjoy this bakery. I will admit that I do not like all their baked goods (breakfast cakes). I will tell you that there are many that are delicious such as: peanut donuts (I cried they were so good hadn't had one in years), apple pie, cheese cake, lemon poppy seed bundt cake, pumpkin roll, yule log, holiday jingles (OMG so great), cupcakes with regular frosting and whipped cream frosting, cakes that are beautifully decorated, cherry pie with a crumb top (I prefer a crust top but beggars can't be choosers), pizza, and the list goes on. I have eaten in the bakery. It does take a while to have the food prepared but then again you know it is freshly made. You can sign up for rewards and earn free cupcakes. This is my new go to gluten free bakery. It is on the pricey side but then again All gf bakeries are. The people who work here are all great and friendly. read more

Stopped here while traveling to Buffalo for work. My fiancée has celiac disease so it's nice to find a place that offers gluten-free items such as bread, pizza dough, and pastries. The quality of the food was excellent and I will be stopping here again next time I'm in town. read more

Just stopped in here to finally check it out after passing by twenty-something times and I'm happy I did! I got a blueberry muffin to split with my dad and it was delicious! Moist (even though I hate that word) with a subtle lemony flavor to it! And yummy crumbles on top! Wish I'd taken a pic before devouring it. Only complaints are: - I wish they'd fix the sign out front--it's fairly worn, making it look closed! :( - A little spendy ($2.75 for the muffin). But not too much to keep me from 5 stars! read more

Being gluten free is difficult at times. These baked goods are often better than many regular baked goods. They have them in the freezer section of Wegmans, Tops and Market in the Square and thaw out nicely. Best baked goods I've had. read more

This is a fantastic bakery that provides very tasty gluten free products that are as good or better than most non-gluten free. Their gluten free sherbet cupcake placed third out of eleven bakeries in a cupcake challenge. The traditional non-gluten free stuff is great, however, availability is kind of spotty...they're probably overwhelmed with demand for the gluten free. read more

It's wonderful that Buffalo has so many options for people with dietary restrictions. The pizza dough (pre rolled out) was excellent, I've had many a gluten free crust. This excels all. I don't feel a need now to buy a second regular crust for my family when I make pizza, its that good. Pizza joints around here would be wise to serve Vin Chet. The sweets however could use a bit of a redo, I think they could make a better muffin, the donuts are decent, the chocolate cake is Very rich & tasty. It's true, it is expensive. But these are specialty items so I expect to pay more. I may go this morning! read more

Decent prices for gluten free goods. Great selection. Choose the muffins for a snack. Celiac paradise.

Some of the best baked goods I've had in a while. Love the fact that they cater to gluten free customers

This is by far my favorite bakery to go to for gluten free baked goods. Their chocolate cake is to die for and all their cookies are amazing. I would highly recommend this bakery for anyone even if you don't have celiac disease. read more

Way over priced. Some food good, some OK. All over priced. They would get way more volume if they weren't so expensive and truly unjustifiably so. Other gluten free bakeries do as good a job for way less. read more

I always find the staff extremely helpful in picking out gluten free items. Everything I've tried is delicious.

How do I love thee?? Let me count the ways! I love your rolls, your muffins and your cottage bread. I love your pastries, cookies and pies! I love that you have developed such wonderful products for us Celiacs. I truly would starve without you. Yes, the prices are more than "regular" breads and goodies but, the cost of the base products is out of sight and the development and production of the recipes is worth it's weight in gold. Nothing I've tasted from other stores comes even close. You have made Celiac disease bearable for me! So there! I've said it! I LOVE you Vin Chet's! Nancy Ross (now can I have some free stuff????) read more

Had the Gluten Free Cupcakes and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Wouldn't have know they were gluten free! Can't wait to try other things read more
