Fantastic coffee on house made almond milk. Food is delicious. Lots of gluten free options. I love the zucchini fritters made with chickpea and rice flour mixed with polenta. I think though my favourite is the mushrooms on house made pumpkin polenta bread 😋
Dana Patisserie is a wonderful patisserie at 175 Carlisle St, Balaclava and truly an institution in the area. I am always impressed with the quality of the pastries, especially the croissants and pains au chocolat. As a fellow French woman and fan has mentioned, they are exceptional, a testament to the quality and care they put into their baking! The food is consistently amazing, and I always enjoy the warm and welcoming service from the staff. I was particularly impressed with the gluten-free Basque cheesecake and greatly appreciate the numerous gluten-free options available. I especially love the creamy, delicious cheesecake and canelé. I highly recommend your cafe to others in the area. The coffee is excellent and high quality, the pastries are always fresh, and the service is consistently amazing. Open 7 days a week 7.30am - 5pm.

Amazing food with heaps of gluten free vegan options. The salt and pepper tofu vermicelli salad is my go to, paired with a salt and pepper tofu rice paper roll. Never disappoints, even when delivered, still incredible
Delicious every time, we got addicted during lockdowns and even though we’ve since moved we still make the trek from northside for Tavlin laffas. Gluten free wraps are beyond anything you’ve tasted. A cult fave for us!
Excellent food and flavours. We had the 7 course tasting menu and everything was adapted to be gluten free or seafood free. The dishes were very tasty and the presentation was excellent. I would definitely go back.
This was such a great find. Caters for celiac, which is amazing!! Bagels are delicious and really good coffee, too. Definitely will go back to support this little gem.
My Grandson -who is on strict gluten free diet due to Cealiac - loves the burgers here. Plus the staff found his wallet on his last visit and kept it safely for him- money and bank card intact- which has been such a relief. Honest staff and provide for gluten free menu. Well located cafe in Carlisle street.
I come here all the time for food, hot drinks and various other things. I’m gluten free and they have great options for me.
The hot drinks are incredible, slowly made my way through the list trying things I’ve never had before. Amazing place!
At first, I was very happy to see such fresh looking sushi in the window at Taiko, and friendly smiling staff. I bought two cooked tuna rolls and two fresh salmon on brown rice. Then I was sad when I finished eating the sushi...but then I was happy again because I know I can visit Taiko again tomorrow. Also, they offer gluten free soy sauce on request. Yay!
Always delicious and fun with a great variety of flavours and toppings. Good labelling of gluten-free options and no reaction from a coeliac on any of the multiple times we've been there, so seems safe, much appreciated!!
Beautiful space, cosy ambience, and the most perfect food and service! Great vegetarian and gluten-free options. Thank you, Grace and Roy for such a memorable evening! 💜💜💜
Had a great dirty chai, there’s an extensive hot drinks list. 3 cheese toastie on gluten free bread was great. Friendly service with a smile. Will be back!
100% worth it!
This little gem on Carlisle St under the train bridge delivers heaps of different lasagnas, gluten free, classics and I always go for the special flavours. It’s become a weekly thing in our household and what better thing than with homemade style lasagna. Adriana is always so attentive and they got a large offer on all gluten free products and other groceries! Couldn’t recommend more! 👌
Beautiful experience! Very friendly stuff! I am coeliac and the waiter double-checked twice about my dietary requirements.
Colourful and bright environment!
