My favourite cupcake place! Never had such a good cookie other than the marble one.

Bunner's Bake Shop in Kensington Market is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious vegan and gluten-free baked goods. They offer a wide variety of treats, from cakes and cookies to bars and other desserts. I was particularly keen to try their pies, but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we arrived. This speaks to their popularity, so I'd recommend arriving early for the best selection. Despite missing out on the pie, I was still impressed with the other options available. I especially enjoyed their date squares, which were both sweet and chewy.

My go to place to pick up bread and anything gluten free

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Absolutely worth going to. Yes my short review is biased, but if you read the longer version below. It’ll make sense. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Speed: 10/10 For the longer review - those who care to read: I won't pretend the restaurant is like a five-star hotel. In comparison to your top high-end luxury restaurants, it would be four stars. But you can't compare apples to oranges. The one most crucial thing to note is the belief, the idea, and the story behind the restaurant. They are specially tailored to people who have strict allergy requirements. My personal needs are to avoid gluten, nuts, egg, and more. Try that anywhere else…. Most places will just "nicely" shoo you away—and while I understand any restaurant ultimately is a business to cater to the masses, those of us who have strict, deathly dietary requirements can finally experience a place to dine without fear. To enjoy a time with family and friends eating the same things. To experience the fun and joy of picking at another person's plate. For those reasons, and to me, it's better than any Michelin-star restaurant. If you have allergies to gluten, if you have celiac disease, you can finally share the experience too. You may come out an emotional train wreck like me.

In my humble yet educated opinion (18 years celiac ) this is the best bakery I have ever eaten at. Great options for the dairy free and vegan eaters as well. From the ease of ordering 2 loaves of olive bread to the warm friendly atmosphere at the store my experience was perfect. I walked in expecting bread and left with so many sweet and savoury treats. Great little store for products as well. If you’re in the area for work or for a holiday and have special food needs this is the place to check out .

This place was incredible!!! We looked for a safe gf place for our celiac daughter, and this one was such a treat in that it is all gf. But even more amazing was the healthy, plentiful and incredibly tasty meals we had. We left fully satisfied and it kept us going for a very long time. Amazing service as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you for giving us an amazing meal. We hope for Impact restaurants to come to Vancouver, our home.

Absolutely LOVE this spot, have eaten in-restaurant twice over the last year, and ordered delivery multiple times, with someone Celiac at home we have NEVER had any issues with gluten! Food is delicious and fresh, service is spectacular, honestly absolutely love this place! We’ve had oysters, fish & chips, tacos, poutine (also a fan of their vegan options for poutine, garlic aioli and tartar sauce!), their deep fried Oreos are to die for, and the selections for beers and drinks are always nice! (Ps, sorry for the almost demolished food pic, have tried and failed to take a picture before digging in for almost a year now)

Nicole Smith

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

Gilda Lewis

Myself and another coworker along with three people we support had dinner at this location. We sat on the patio. My experience at a different Scaddabush location was not that great so I was apprehensive about eating at this location. But it was the best decision we made and that was because Mark our waiter made sure we had a great experience. Mark was Awesome! He was friendly, patient, accommodating and was just over all a great person It was also great especially for the gentleman with us who eats gluten free. Thank you so much Mark! Keep smiling! Keep being Awesome! We appreciate you!

Christina Stair

Fantastic service, they were so kind and happy to help us when we visited. Food was amazing, and everything can be prepared gluten free in dedicated appliances so there is no crosscontamination. Would definitely come back if we are in town!

Vaidehi Patel

I came here to dine in last weekend for the first time, closer to their closing time and was greeted very nicely and food was very amazing! I love all gluten free idea. My drink was a bit bitter so i went and asked for a different drink, the supervisor (im assuming, short brown guy) was very rude to me and said, “what do you want then?” And then slammed the drink on the floor. This is ridiculous behaviour. I understand the hurry to close but this is not the way to go!

Ashlee L

Very accommodating for celiac

Laureano Ottonello Tanno

Excellent Latino restaurant with gluten-free options. Thank you, we will definitely come back!

Cristiano Therrien

Tasty gluten-free food, thank you!

Ben Kidd

Excellent gluten-free pasta, possibly the best gluten free pasta in the city.

Varsha Dinodia

My to-go dinning joint when I wish to eat at Toronto’s BEST vegan and plant based fine dining cuisine at Planta- Toronto Queen Street location. From wait staff to servers and of-course the food- the bestest of ALL. I have soy and gluten allergy and the kitchen took care of my dietary request-with utmost love and care. I enjoyed my meal very much like always and I have been a patron for almost 10 years now. Because Planta is Planta. Thankyou :)

Krystle Manintveld

Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.

Raminder Dhaliwal

Hidden gem, love it. So many gluten free options!!! Thank you for having this. They even have gluten free ravioli and garlic bread

Madelaine Espinosa

Food was really good! Love that everything is gluten free. Rudi was really nice!!

Nadia Suleiman

Cute place, good gluten free pasta

Ebony Jones

Great atmosphere and food! Lots of gluten free options available and staff were very accomodating. We had the yellow curry with chicken and the ginger stir fry with beef and extra vegetables - great flavours

shaun marq

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!

Michael Rowsell

A great place to go if you and your friends enjoy sci-fi/fantasy/horror themes. A lot of care and effort has gone into making it a fun place to have drinks and food. The staff and service have always been friendly and accommodating. One of our group is celiac and one is vegan and we have never had an issue.

Samantha S

Accidentally stumbled upon this place and super surprised to find out everything is gluten free! All the ice cream flavours and the cones! Staff was super friendly and nice, ice cream itself was so good and they have alcohol infused ones that tasted amazing. I only got the ice cream to go but they have a cute set up for drink pairings as well - I'll definitely be coming back to try that.

Alice Leung

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Michaela Storoschuk

Had a work night dinner with some out of country guests and oh my goodness did this restaurant went above and beyond. Attentive service, fully could accommodate the menu for each dietary allergy (dairy and gluten), and had an amazing variety of options from land sea and farm. A bit of a spend but it was worth it for a lovely night out, and the ambiance was divine.

Lisa M

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to sip overpriced coffee in a space curated entirely for instagram but devoid of real warmth - congrats, you've found it. This place doesn't know if it wants to be a cafe, a store, or something else entirely so it excels at nothing. Vegan or not vegan? Keto or not keto? Gluten free or gluten? Caters to "everyone" but if you have severe allergies the cross contamination risk is high. The "community" is more like a rotating cast of people conveniently used for photo ops.

Bronwyn Caklos

The absolutely best server, the most accommodating for my gluten free dietary restrictions, so friendly, so kind and an absolute delight! I love Liz!

Tara Sotoudeh

Great food and service. Had the prime rib, mushroom Neptune, Billy miner pie, lobster and steak, and crème brûlée, all of which were amazing. Lots of marked options for gluten free. Only thing that wasn’t great were the bacon wrapped scallop. Sara was extremely attentive and gave us great service. 10/10

Becca Kellner

4.5. Great classic spot, been around forever. Amazing rooftop patio and classic Italian fare- always specials too. Atmosphere is lovely and service is attentive. Servers are knowledgeable and have typically been there a while. Like a many Toronto spots- more attention if you’re ordering drinks, less attention if you’re not. The busser’s are good about refilling the water and they always leave a bottle on the table. Atmosphere is bustling throughout the restaraunt, the patio is also beautiful and a fun vibe. Great for people of all-ages (a little quieter outside which is nice). Food is great and they also have an allergen menu which indicates dairy free, gluten free, and vegan options- so accommodating and helpful. Aside from this they don’t really ever make accommodations to the food. They’re good about allergies - specifically helpful with a soy allergy. The bread is made in house and is delicious- ingredients listed on side of the basket. The food is consistent - some dishes really shine. Don’t sleep on the funghi salad starter, the grilled calamari starter, the spaghetti a limone, or the bolognese. Cocktails are GREAT, albeit a little on the pricier side. A classic Toronto spot that always comes through.

Erica

It is THE place to go for Thai. Handsdown best Thai in the city. Best service, best food. Great place for gluten free options. Cannot wait to go again.

Mario DiNillo

Delicious food... great service and even understood my celiac dietary needs.

j

so grateful to find an actual gluten free and sugar free restaurant 😍 this was needed in Toronto

Whitney Bruno (Prose)

Able to handle special requests, have gluten free options, good food, not too noisy, and fast staff.

Cassandra Velasquez

Needed a sugar free dessert for my boyfriend’s diabetic mother and decided to order from here! Cupcakes were delivered in wonderful packaging and were surprisingly tasty for no sugar and are also keto! Highly recommend this place for those who can’t have sugar and can only consume anything gluten free :)!

Allegra Nardulli

This Mexican breakfast spot is so delicious and quaint. Their menu is loaded with so many gluten and dairy free options and the service is amazing. They are knowledgeable of gluten and dairy allergies and do whatever they can to accommodate you. All the staff is so friendly as well! I will definitely be back!

Krystle Manintveld

Great for gluten free eaters.

Barbara Foley

We dashed in out of the Freezing Rain and hit the jackpot with a welcoming fire, and a genuinely great welcome for the bartender and floor staff. The menu is delicious and loads of GF options for my partner who is Gluten intolerant. I was delighted to find Gunpowder Gin and more than a token selection of Irish Whiskey in a country that favours Scottish Whisky. The Fish and Lobster pie was loaded and piping hot. Lamb was perfectly cooked and surprisingly everything came out on Hot Plates another Rare thing in Toronto. Can’t recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back. B

Ashley Capern

This was the first time in a long time I could order almost anything on the menu and it could be made gluten free. They have a dedicated fryer and a gluten free desert! Staff were all very knowledgeable I’ve been multiple times now.

Ms. Zandina

Excellent customer service from our server, Victoria. We were a party of 10 for my niece's birthday dinner, and Victoria kept us engaged and made sure we had a smooth dining experience! The spring menu has some excellent choices, and the calamari starter was prepared to perfection, I should know I am calamari conersoeur. Love how the menu identified "gluten friendly" meals. Overall, this visit was a delightful dining experience!
