Somewhere to have coffee and a cake with non-GF friends in central Valencia. This place also does meals adapted for coeliacs.
Four GF pastries are listed on their website, but only two were available when I visited.
www.nibs.es/site/es/12-sin-glutenPlease note: These pastries were uncovered and there were slices of pizza on the shelf above, so
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone really sensitive. However, I took the risk and was fine, with no bad after effects.
I had a Pastel de Chocolate – not cheap at just over €3.00, but pleasant enough. This was “sin gluten” (GF) and also “sin azucar” (sugar-free - for diabetics), “sin lactosa” (lactose-free), and “sin huevo” (egg-free), which possibly affected the taste slightly. It was also listed as “sin frutos secos” (nut-free), but I doubt the usefulness of this, as I think nuts would have been included in other pastries on shelves nearby.
There is a second branch of Pastelaria NIBS at C/ Trafalgar 50, (behind El Corte Ingles, Av. Francia).

Has a separate gluten-free menu – in English. Specialises in pasta and piadine. My spaghetti Bolognese was very nice and my friends also loved their non-GF pasta dishes. Not particularly cheap, but very pleasant. Good service and our waitress spoke excellent English. In the centre of town. Open daily, book at weekends.
