I have Celiac Disease and was thrilled to come across this stall in the market. The difficult part was deciding which gluten- and dairy-free baked treats to buy. They have so many options! The service was super friendly and prompt. 

We decided on a GF DF carrot cake slice with the most amazing frosting/cream layers. We also wanted a mince pie because we don't have those in our home country. I also enjoyed a peanut butter cup. The treats were delicious but not as sweet as they would have been in the US. 

If this was anywhere near my house, I would visit every weekend!

Thought this was a brick and mortar bakery but turns out to be a bake stall at Borough Market. No problem with that, just not the experience I'd hoped. So hard to find good GF bakeries. We tried several things that were delicious. Still working on this small carrot cake. Failed to take photo first, sorry. Loved the coconut in the icing. Nice and rich, moist and chewy. Delicious.

LOVE!!! Was so excited to see this bake house with a stand @ Burrow Market after seeing they were recently placed in Whole Foods. I got the carrot cake and banana bread with chocolate chips. As a GF/DF sensitive human- this place had ALL THE INFO & ALL THE OPTIONS- If you know, you know!!! 

Soooo wonderful!

As a newbie to the Borough Market, the Free From Bakehouse's stand within the market was a bit tricky to find.  I resigned myself to wander until I found it and I was rewarded heavily!  
To get to their stand, enter the market and walk straight back, cross a street (past Fish!) and into the very back of the market.  Their stand is amongst coffee, cheese, pie, and bread stands.  They accept cash and credit card and have a great selection of allergy-friendly treats. 

I am vegan, which makes baked goods difficult because I am deathly allergic to eggs. I am also gluten-free, which makes finding baked treats difficult to find. Finding delicious baked treats is akin to finding a four-leaf clover or walk-in availability for a Sunday Roast.  I was in luck though!  I found many different treats here to indulge my deprived sweet tooth.  I walked away with a variety of decadence, including a little jam-filled almond short-bread treat (I forgot the name, but went back and bought two more!), some fudge, a brownie, passion fruit cheesecake, and an apricot cupcake.  I was not disappointed! 

Now that I'm back home in the states, I am already plotting a way to get them to ship a lorry-sized load of treats to me to keep in my freezer!  If you have any food allergies, visit The Free From Bakehouse.  If you don't have any allergies, visit The Free From Bakehouse.  You will not be disappointed!

Caroline went to great lengths to deliver a delicious gluten free cake to my friend on her birthday during the lockdown. I had carelessly entered the incorrect post code, but Caroline and her assistant - in addition to contacting me - figured it out and absolutely made my friend's birthday during this strange time. Upon receiving the cake, my friend declared it amazing, and I'm only jealous I couldn't have joined her to taste it. I am really impressed by Caroline's dedication and craft, and am looking forward to visiting the premises in person once lockdown is over.

This was very difficult to fine. Finally someone took pity on us and walked us there. When you got within meters of it you still couldn't tell because there wasn't a prominent sign marking the place. Otherwise the baked goods were good. Although I prefer to not have to pick egg shells out of the baked goods!

 I would give them five stars except for all the eggshells in the food.

When I heard there was a free from bakehouse at the borough market I was so excited. When we arrived at the market they were easy to find and had a great selection of their cakes, slices and cupcakes. Each item is clearly marked with what it's free from which is very helpful. The chocolate and raspberry brownie looked really good, as did the spiced plum cupcake and chocolate banana bread however the award winning carrot cake with orange zest icing was the one for me.
I'll admit it wasn't as incredible as I was hoping and maybe I'd have enjoyed the spiced plum cupcake more but it was very nice and definitely great for those  with food allergies. I really enjoyed my slice of cake, but it's something I'd pick up if I was passing but not travel across town for.

I'm trying to give 5 Stars but for some reason posted only one star

I've been walking around for 30 minutes and I can't find it. Found, it is a small kiosk in the secondary room, not main room, behind GF granola kiosk.

My favourite is the lemon polenta cake very moist with small delicately candied pieces of lemon on top.

SUPER friendly staff and AMAZING baked goods. Try the brownies, you won't regret it. I think I bought 5-6 in one day? That's how amazing they are. Perfectly fudgy and superb when microwaved. I can't wait to go back to Borough market to pick up some more. The cupcakes were also so amazing, and I really want to try the cakes next time I'm there!
