I always try to make my way here to get some gluten free pancakes when I'm in Melbourne. Today I was looked after by Deb, who although was busy working hard, she was friendly and efficient. I'm grateful for getting my food and drink in good time and that the toilets were very clean!!!!

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 😋
This restaurant offers the best tasting food in town, not to mention it has a really cool vibe. Our family has various dietary needs, such as vegetarian gluten free and lactose intolerance and they cater for all of it.
Unreal! This coeliac safe burger and sweet potato fries were amazing. Arrived very quickly and I really appreciate the extra care for gluten free safety. YUM
Manager is very rude , quality is substandard. Husband ordered gluten free meal and only received 1 small pancake.. valued at the price of $28 when he asked the manager why it was only one pancake in the serving he was shamed and made to feel bad for having a health condition! Won’t becoming back
St. Ali Coffee Roasters in the departure hall (after customs) is a nice place to chill and have coffee/tea/snacks. It has a beat and may get crowded. Nonetheless, people do come and go. The gluten-free fudge brownie goes very well with a hot mocha coffee. The staff is also friendly and nice. Great way to say goodbye to Melbourne with this cup of coffee and snacks before departure.
A varied brunch menu (many interesting egg dishes) & a great selection of cakes. The orange cake was gluten-free & lush, but could have been sweeter. Very subjective :-)
The rest of us ate main courses, all of which were good. Mine was chicken & mushroom risotto, nicely cooked & presented. Excellent flavor. Caesar Salad is a generous serve, prawn linguine smelled good.
Service is polite, enthusiastic, very friendly... & incompetent. On Sunday afternoon I am very laid back. The wait staff are all late teens- but even allowing for that - oh my. We were delivered other people's dinner or drinks not once or twice, but six times. I think three different waiters did this.
I've been a waiter. We didn't complain (they were genuinely honest mistakes, really nice staff, it was brunch, let's get over ourselves). But six times?
I checked the bill carefully. It was right. We tipped :-) But check that the plate you receive is the one you actually ordered.
Would I go back? Absolutely
We held the first part of our wedding reception at the Collingwood Children's farm on Boxing Day, organised and held via the Farm Cafe, and it was a stunning day! Carina, Amelia and the rest of the cafe staff were friendly, efficient and fully on top of things. The menu was entirely gluten free as we requested, and was delicious (the smoked salmon main was my favourite). Our guests enjoyed strolling about the farm and the general ambience. Highly recommended.
First time for a chicken and a beef burger on Gluten Free buns. Loved the burgers. Tasted fantastic. GF buns were really nice and reasonably priced.
I can see these burgers spreading galactically!
I don’t usually leave reviews, but after multiple consistently great experiences at GYG Highpoint, I felt compelled to share just how fantastic this place is. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with vibrant energy, friendly faces, and the irresistible aroma of fresh Mexican food being prepared with care. It’s honestly one of the best fast-casual dining experiences I’ve had — not just at Highpoint, but anywhere!
The food is phenomenal. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu at this point — from their classic burritos and burrito bowls to their nachos, quesadillas, and tacos — and every single item has been delicious. The ingredients are always fresh, the flavors bold, and the portions generous. Their pulled pork is unbelievably tender, the grilled chicken is full of flavor, and the slow-cooked beef has a richness that tastes like it’s been simmering for hours. Not to mention, their guacamole is some of the best I’ve ever had — creamy, zesty, and just the right texture.
What I really appreciate is how GYG caters to all kinds of dietary needs. Whether you’re after something vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or just want to eat clean, there’s something for everyone. And you don’t have to sacrifice flavor — their “Clean” range is super tasty and satisfying.
Service at GYG Highpoint is consistently top-notch. The staff are upbeat, efficient, and genuinely seem to care about the customer experience. Orders are prepared quickly, and they always double-check to make sure everything is right. Even when it’s busy, the team handles the rush with professionalism and good vibes.
The store itself is always clean, modern, and inviting. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends for a casual meal, the seating area is comfortable and the atmosphere has that cool GYG vibe — upbeat music, warm lighting, and that colorful Mexican-inspired design.
Another thing worth mentioning is how convenient and reliable their ordering system is. I’ve used the app and self-serve kiosks and found both to be super intuitive and fast. The ability to customize your order down to every little detail is such a great feature, and I always appreciate how it lets me tailor meals exactly how I like them.
In short, GYG Highpoint has become my go-to spot for lunch, dinner, or even a quick snack on the go. It’s rare to find a place that nails consistency, quality, service, and atmosphere all at once, but this team does it every time. Whether you’re a longtime GYG fan or trying it for the first time, you can’t go wrong here.
Highly recommend! 5/5 without hesitation.

We had the high tea, 4 of us regular menu and 1 gluten free. Absolutely loved the food, so fresh and tasty. Teas/Coffees also very good. Service was great too.. The only thing I didn’t like was the space, it’s quite a small cafe. Other than that, big tick! See you again.
Don't dine here if you are a coeliac. We called before booking and was assured it was fine to eat here and I was violently sick after attending the buffet breakfast. The chef walked me around and showed me what I could eat and only ate what I was told (and didn't consume much).
I have contacted Crown 3 times with no response which is extremely poor to say that least considering how much money we spent to stay there as a family and to have our day there ruined!!
I asked for Gluten free bread for a Ham, Cheese, & Tomato toastie and was disappointed. I had to pay an extra $4.00 for gluten free bread. There was no salt or pepper on the toastie, and limited fillings. No taste EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED…. Price: $16.50
Phoned up prior and asked if there were any gluten free options available given that I have coeliacs disease and was advised that they have gluten free pizza bases.
On arrival was told the opposite and offered a chicken salad instead.
When said chicken said came to the table it contained: Rocket, red onion and balsamic vinegar minus the chicken.
I then asked for the appropriate salad that I had asked for (assuming there was a mistake or the wrong table)
Then they handed over a small side plate of seared chicken for me to add to my disgraceful bitter bowl of rocket
We had the antipasto, mixed grill and a range of desserts all was absolutely delicious. Staff were very attentive, friendly, providing a great atmosphere and able to cater to a gluten free requirement. Very well priced for what we got, definitely worth the 5 stars and our group is already talking about coming back! Definitely a not to miss restaurant in Footscray and the inner west, recommend coming with a group so you get to try everything.

Excellent excellent excellent service!!!!!! They made sure to check more on my allergens more than I did!!!! They are Lara and Keysa. They checked milk, chocolate and made sure to ask if I’m celiac or gluten sensitive. So far the best service I ever got in Australia!!!!! Thank you guys! ❤️ Very cheerful and welcoming everyone with a smile too.
This is one of my favourite places in the area. Always very yummy food. I need to eat gluten free and they have a separate fryer that they use for gluten free products only.
The lemon cheesecake gluten free was delicious and fresh, and coffee was aromatic and the right temperature, as with the strengh. Service was courteous and swift. The tables were clean. I would have given it a 5 for the atmosphere if I had table inside the coffee shop..but it is a shopping centre....value for money

We were lucky enough to be given a free smoothie card down near Seed and the lovely lady told us where the shop was and that it was “quite a walk but worth it”. We walked down to Luup and fell in love instantly. All the products are incredible and the staff were insanely friendly!!
We got our delicious free smoothie and ended up ordering breakfast too! (gluten free granola and coconut yogurt - 10/10!) As I was feeding my newborn baby, I wasn’t able to go to the counter and the lovely gentleman offered to bring it to me and I could just pay afterwards. When I went up to pay before we left the staff were so kind and gave me my breakfast for my first Mother’s Day.
It’s so unfortunate that it’s placed inside fountain gate but I do think we will be making it “our new local” from now on. Please bring one to Berwick - there is a big gap in the market ready for you!
