We learned Najah started her bakery in Ed's Gluten Free Store. However, since Ed's closure in the Summer of 2012, Najah had the opportunity to open up her own gluten free bakery in Edmonton's west end.

Najah shared a variety of amazing gluten free samples with us and we learned about her production. She explained that she also prepares some egg free products and also some vegan products that are all also gluten free. She takes great care that her gluten free vegan and gluten free egg free products are not cross contaminated with her standard gluten free products by baking those products on separate days. While eggs and dairy are not issues for me, I was so moved to hear her honesty and openness regarding her views on the importance of keeping this separate to ensure safety.

All of Najah's baking is done from scratch, no additives or preservatives. For example, we sampled the most delicious layered sponge cake.The layers were moist and fluffy just like their gluten filled counterparts. The layers of icing were sweetened and coloured with fresh fruit (raspberries) and let's just say... I am ordering one of these fabulous cakes for my next birthday! Wow!
There are a variety of fresh baked gluten free goods along with many frozen to-go options as well such as flat breads, muffins, doughnut, cake, pizza and pies just to name a few. Najah will also do special orders for parties.

Thank you so much, I tend to check out the places you write about.
I find so many of your posts valuable, but I think this is themost valuable of all! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks to your recent review, I visited Najah myself and was treated to her hospitality. I gathered up many items for myself and enjoyed samples of jam shortbread cookies, lemon bars and a flat bred with spinach and feta. AWESOME!! I will be back to enjoy more of her delicious and mindful baking.
I have had a problem with gluten all my life and all i haveto say is thank you so much najah for the food you make, i have never had such good food in my life u would never think it is gluten free and the hospatality is amazing u make me feel welcomed and comfortable you have a customer for life thank you so much again your food and your service is one of a kind.
Perogies, perogies, perogies! Thanks Najah!
Our family was so happy to find a place with such great options we can go when we visit Edmonton. Looking forward to our next visit!
Absolutely amazing, I have tried the spinach & feta flatbreads and pizza so far, very delicious, and the pizza espcially is amazingly priced. Her 'rye' bread tastes just like rye bread, but best of all she is a wonderful lady with a huge heart. Keep up the good work Najah, you are a gem!

I went there after it was recommended from a friend. They were very friendly and happy to help. I did have a problem with everything was frozen. And their portion sizes were very small for the price. Sorry I could not bring myself to try.
I did try there muffins. The one on the first day was good. On the second day they were rubber and the blueberries were just on the top of the muffin with none inside. Same with the raspberry muffins.
When I am spending a lot of money for tiny portions I would like to know what I am buying. Samples were not offered. And half of the product was in the window thawing.
Would have rather purchase fresh. That way I can eat it or freeze it myself.
Hi There
I am so sorry you did not enjoy our products , however we do not defrost our products once is frozen for quality assurance so your comment is not correct and that is not the way we sell our products and I wished you returned your muffins or anything you did not enjoyed at Rio Vida Bakery , our portion of our product is very generous and that is accordingly to our quality of the products we use to bake with , which is `made from scratch including our blueberry jam or any fruit we use to bake our muffins .
I do respect your opinion and would be very happy to return your money if you had called us and let us know , and samples is always available if you had asked and if you had preferred fresh you should not had bought it frozen and we would be very happy to fresh bake specially for you .
Thank you for your attention ,
Najah
