New Blue Jewel Cafe-

Recommended Posts

I just visited the NEW Blue Jewel Bakery and Cafe on Ross Road in Nanaimo. They share a space with the old Sausage factory.

I cannot tell you have incredibly impressed I am!!! They have married the gluten free meats with the bakery and made something fabulous. They made me a ham sandwhich on the spot that was to die for. I also took home a pepperoni pizza. I couldnt usually eat that because of the meat having gluten addititves but they have bison pepperoni that was better than any pepperoni I'd ever had. My family was eating pizza too and after tasting mine decided that my crust and pizza was WAY better than theirs. Now that is a first. It was sooooo good. I also bought their butter tart cookies.... and OHHHHH I was in heaven. Soft chewy mouth watering cookies that are huge and delicious. I got their chocolate mint cookies too and they melt in your mouth. I thought the girl giude chocolate mint were great but these are amazing and way better. Tonight for dinner I am trying their greek Grape leaves stuffed with meat.

They have everything from goodies, muffins, sandwhiches, soups, coffees and meat dishes ALL EXCLUSIVELY Gluten free. The lady told me that she decided to go from a regular bakery to a gluten free bakery so they closed shop, and set up on Ross Road with clean equipment and they have succeeded to produce the most incredible gluten free foods. She said she's been baking some gluten free stuff for a while but in the same store as gluton bread with is not a good idea.

I am a person with severe symtoms from my Celiac. If I have microscopic traces of gluten in my food I am very ill, very fast. My whole system seems to shut down. I can attest to the fact tht yesterdy was the first time in my life that I ate really amazing gluten free food that tasted better than glutonous food!! I am blown away and wanted to share my experience!

The Blue Jewel was kind of behind country club mall, on Ross Road, very central for all of us in Nanaimo.

Let me know what you get and tell me how it goes. She also told us to let her know if anyone has any sensitivities to any of her stuff to inform her immediately so they can ensure that they are getting the top quality of dedicated gluten free incredients. That impressed me.

Cheers,

They also have the most amazing Nanaimo Bars. The service is slow and it's definitely not a great place to take little kids but it was nice to go out for a sandwich and a treat and not have to ask a million questions.

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause? 
    • Aussienae
      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
