Wonderful GF bakery. I have been celiac for a few years now and just discovered this local gem. Usually GF items are hit and miss, but everything I have tried so far from Rio Vida has been amazing. LOVE the perogies, the bread, the chicken empanadas, cookies, and I can’t wait to try every single thing here. Please keep this bakery in business, Edmonton.
I went there to pick up glutten free pizza crust for my grandson's birthday party and everything smelled so yummy. The owner is very nice and the crust was delicious. Big hit at the party and affordable enough to feed us all so we didn't have to worry about cross contamination. 100% recommend this place
I recently started eating less gluten, and it has been challenging finding food that actually tastes good. So far everything I've tried at Rio Vida has been delicious!! Najah is soooo informative and very kind. I highly recommend this bakery!" So good you can't believe it's Gluten-Free!"
Great gluten-free options. A one stop destination.
Maybe they were just having a bad day, but my experience was very bad. Can’t comment on their product as the service was so bad we left without purchasing anything. Rude customer service. Enough that even though we walked 30 min to get there, it wasn’t worth supporting a business like that.Just look at their response to this review. Not willing to take responsibility. Just blame Covid. Nope, sorry, doesn’t work for me. We were wearing masks, fully vaccinated, and respecting social distancing. Rude customer service doesn’t get a pass because of Covid. Be better.
I have been missing alot of items as I'm a recent diagnosed celiac. Found this little bakery and my heart jumped for joy on all the things I've been missing. Their apple fritters was a party in my mouth. And their chicken pot pie Calzone was to die for. Their sausage roll made me question what the heck I've been eating before. Their freezer selection I will be coming to for lunches. Keep up the good work and delicious baking.
I have been fighting my dietary restrictions for months and I'm sitting at home after visiting Rio Vida today eating a sausage roll and I am in tears. It's so good and it tastes the way it should and it's such a huge relief to eat something that wont trigger my autoimmune disease! I will definitely be back! Thank you to the amazing ladies who helped me select items according to my needs, you have a special place in my heart and I am forever grateful. If you need gluten free/dietary restrictions go visit! I promise you wont be disappointed!Crying happy tears! Thank you SO MUCH!
What a great discovery during my Edmonton stay. The owner took her time to present her products, she reheated some for me, gave my son a cookie and some donuts to sample. Thanks a lot, it's great to have options like these as a celiac!
Food we bought was excellent. Pastry was all well made, and they offer celiac pastry alternatives that are difficult to find in other places (puff pastry, donairs). Would recommend and we will certainly be back.
Edited March 5th to include pictures.Wow!!! First time here today and I cried at the kindness and great tasting cheese balls and donut holes that I got to try. I can't wait to try the sausage rolls, empanadas, green onion cakes, calzone and fresh buns that I purchased. I appreciate the time that was taken to show me all the good stuff and the tips to save money. I expected my bill to be substantially higher than what it was which was also wonderful. I will gladly make the drive across the city to support this wonderful business.
