vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨
Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away.
The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat!
Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone.
Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.
Solid 5 stars!!! EVERYTHING is gluten free. The cafe is beautiful and so zen. I got a green onion & cheddar scone and was recommended the blueberry apple crumble muffin. Delicious!
Fave gluten free bakery in Kits. The turkey & cheese croissant is a favorite. Alongside their paninis and sweet baked goods. I enjoy stopping here for takeout to bring to the beach for a morning breakfast or late lunch.
Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;)
the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!
In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.
Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”.
We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing.
This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling.
The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails.
I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.
I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.
Always a lovely evening on the patio overlooking False Creek. The food and service is great and my partner who has celiac disease never has a reaction. Thanks to Danielle and team for a great meal!
Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉
Ordered a few gluten free cakes from vegan bakery Edible Flours.
- Green velvet ($60.00 for 6" GF) - best of the three. Decent matcha flavour
- Raspalicious ($60.00 for 6" GF) - texture lacking, mute flavour. Wanted more raspberry
- S'mores ($60.00 for 6" GF) - bland
EF's cakes are nowhere close to the quality of the other, better GF bakeries in town.
This place is a hidden gem. A women owned business which serves delicious vegan options. Restaurant does not have huge seating space but can accommodate a group of 6-8.
We tried Bombay Bad Boy pizza and were surprised with flavor. I will highly recommend trying "Almond Cassava" crust; it is gluten free but not too hard or crispy.
Definitely worth visiting if you are vegan/vegetarian food lover or, interested in trying vegan food.
Service was amazing. Food was mediocre; brisket was good but lacked flavour; ribs were tough and dry; mac and cheese was spicy, but needed someone else; chicken was good and it was gluten free.
Not celiac safe like they say they are. Had a very bad reaction after eating here. The manager is also rude and condescending. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. One of the lower scores restaurants in the area, lower than old spaghetti factory and that’s saying a lot!
Have been missing Red Robins since they closed all their Alberta locations! If you have any food restrictions, don't look at their allergen menu online, just ask your server. I have celiac and it was showing almost everything to have gluten, even the beef burger patties. Luckily that was not the actual case! Server was knowledgeable about what sauces and ingredients had gluten, and shared that fries can be made in a dedicated gluten free fryer. My meal also came out with the purple allergen stick.
I do however have to take stars off for the physical aspects of the location...menu had several sticky spots, carpet looked filthy and sticky, bathroom floors were even stickier! Very unappealing and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. We were in a booth and the back of the seat would move from both sides, uncomfortable when people are sitting on both sides and it kept moving!
Service was also quite slow, especially considering it was lunchtime on a weekday and there were not many other customers present
Went there to celebrate with a group of 5 people. The wait staff were very friendly, I was greeted by each server I passed as I came in. The servers were always nearby to assist when needed and the owner was walking throughout the restaurant helping to attend to each table. The service was a 10/10 and noticeably better than most restaurants.
The food was incredible and so flavourful. We ordered most of not all the appetizers to share and they were amazing. We had a vegetarian in our group and there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. They also had a variety of gluten free and dairy free options too. I will definitely be returning to try their entrees. The lamb popsicles are what I have my eye on for next time. They also had an extensive drink list which included a good variety of non alcoholic options too. Are the prices high? a bit but food costs have increased and most restaurants have had to adjust their prices for this reason. For the experience and the value of the dishes, it’s reasonable. The ambience of the restaurant was nice and dimly lit. We all enjoyed our time there and I will definitely be going back again soon!
Found this fabulous social enterprise cafe by chance on our trip to Vancouver from the UK. The food is really tasty, they cater for gluten free we were welcomed with a smile what could be better? I loved their detox smoothly, hopefully I can replicate it when we get home.
The GF bagel, brownie, and bread was delicious. They have regular and oat milk options for the lattes. I had a dirty chai with oat and loved it. The regular sourdough for the salmon toast was delicious. Highly recommended for anyone with celiac.
Easily my favourite go to restaurant for my family. Menu is extensive and reliable. My son is celiac and they take extra care always and have lots for him to choose from.
We ordered a gluten-free dessert, but it contained gluten, causing my friend to become very ill. If you have a gluten allergy, please avoid eating here.

I am following up from my previous review that I had left a few weeks ago. Despite having a negative experience, the staff at Browns Crafthouse went above and beyond to make sure that my friends and I had a good experience to make up for what had initially happened. The manager Matt reached out and was very kind and generous, and offered to make the experience better for us. They accommodated drinks and many appetizers for our large group, and were super sweet the entire time. I cannot remember our servers name, but she was a tall caucasian woman. She provided excellent service and took my friend's gluten allergy very seriously. It was some of the best customer experiences I had. Matt himself had come out and greeted us, apologized for the previous experience, and made sure we had a great time. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had a good experience, and it was really appreciated!
A great place for sweet treats and coffee/tea. There's a good selection of baked goodies - cookies, bars, cakes, breads and scones for all occasions. It was worth the drive after reading the reviews.
Food: 5/5 - we tried the brownie (gluten free) and blackberry lemon bar. Our favourite was the brownie. Both were tasty and fresh. If you need a cake for a special occasion, they have whole cakes and loaves available. The prices were reasonable considering it was good quality. They had a couple of samplings near the cash register.
Atmosphere: 5/5 - seating is available with a nice vibe to the place
Service: 5/5 - servers were friendly.
I'll be back to try their other tasty treats.
Went for happy hour - great cocktails and great GF options. Many things are GF or can be amended, server was super knowledgeable. I had the wings, hummous with a GF flatbread and nachos. Really tasty! And great waterfront views.
Staff was so friendly and helpful. Food comes out fast, and is so delicious. Prices are super affordable. Awesome atmosphere. My friend has a handful of allergies and sensitivities and the staff accommodated him perfectly (gluten, dairy)
Tried so many of their pastries from here and they all didn’t disappoint! There’s so much variety all the time for both sweet and savoury foods, for good price as well. Breka also has a lot of variety for gluten free and vegan options as well. I love how they’re open 24 hours because not many dessert places in vancouver open past 12 so Breka has been a go to for my friends and I. I highly recommend the mango coconut cake!!
It is so cute! Both my wife and I went to experience the Hot Chocolate Festival items about a month ago. We cannot eat gluten but there are more options than I thought there would be! The cookies are so cute *and* tasty. The matcha tiramisu is one of the best things I have ever eaten!
There was pistachio cheesecake and the sign said “gluten free” (it was the only item that stated it was GF) We asked the employee if it was gluten free and he said “I don’t know”
Great cafe find. Very solid coffee and some lovely gluten free dessert items.

It was my first time at Breka Bakery and Cafe, and I loved the dessert there! I was looking for vegan desserts, and they had only one option which was the ultimate chocolate ganache cake. It was very delicious and very filling too. They had lots of variety in desserts and had some gluten free options too, but this was the only vegan option. I believe they also had hot chocolate there among other things. I would definitely go back there someday for the ultimate chocolate ganache cake! This place was very crowded in the evening around 6 PM or so. It was a little hard to find a table but I could find one. I did not have to wait very long.
Been getting my gluten free sandwich from
Number e for years!! I love every single of their sandwich and small bites. And did you know their pastries are divine? We at lululemon bulk order them for our meeting and go into food coma and workout haha! Thank you so much
The place was such a vibe! Staff was super friendly. I believe there was a staff or maybe the owner (?) whose name was Ranu and I’d love to give a huge shout out to her and the team. They were so kind and super helpful! The food was soooooo delicious. And on top of that, the beef stew was gluten & dairy free, it was so delicious 🥹❤️ definitely try it out folks!!
All the locations are top notch 5 stars. Love the gluten-free and while not strictly kosher, certainly very kosher-style friendly, vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options. Delicious and nice staff everywhere. Support Jewish food!
Always so happy to come here. Everyone is super helpful and friendly and the food is always delicious. The only place in the city to get a gluten-free pita!!!
