EAT: Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery, Vancouver, BC

I was really excited for my first trip to Vancouver. Even more excited to find Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery in Cambie Village. Everything in the bakery is gluten free. Tracy, the owner, greeted me at the door and was most helpful with ingredients of each item. My corn intolerance makes gluten free baked goods difficult for me, since many bakeries add corn when they remove wheat gluten. Tracy informed me that the breads and baked goods have corn, but Lemonade GF Bakery makes their own baking powder to make sure it is corn free. Tracy went over which items are corn free, which was a nice selection and difficult to narrow down. Can I get one of everything??
Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery's baked goods looked amazing and I so wanted to try the yummy looking croissants (not corn free).
The breads smelled delicious. I really liked the variety available to give gluten free diners a selection of breads they may not have enjoyed since going gluten free. 
Now, time for what I had to try! The Chocolate Caramel Silk Torte was rich and divine. Chocolate Mousse with a layer of gooey caramel inside. Please share with another person, as a couple of bites is all you need to satisfy any craving.
Tiramisu?!? Ohmygosh, how long has it been since I have had tiramisu?? One of my old favorites, but not usually gluten free due to the lady fingers having gluten. The tiramisu at Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery did not disappoint. My only caveat is that it needed a little more coffee flavor.

On your next trip to Vancouver, be sure to stop by Lemonade Gluten Free Bakery. I really liked that Tracy was available for questions and to make sure everyone had a great experience. Any items that were dairy free or egg free were listed on the description tag for those with other allergies. During my mid afternoon stop, the bakery was quite busy with people getting to-go orders or enjoying their sweet treat at the store in either the two tables inside or outside at the sidewalk tables.
