Excellent gluten free chicken sandwich! 10/10 recommendation

Thank you SO MUCH for all the gluten free options. Amazing service. Place could do a masterclass on poached eggs (my grandmother would have been very impressed)

Best gluten product i ever had . Extremely nice lady at the store offered a few products as a gift of purchase since I mentioned I just got out of an ab surgery and are very limited to choice of food in recoverstage (no gluten , egg and dairy) . In love with the cream puff and lemon walfer. The muffin took me by surprise after the first bite from the oven. Never had to go for McDonald breakfast sandwich ever , perfect replacement. Gluten free life is pleasant with all the kinnikinnick product

James Kissick

From ottawa to edmonton this is the best gluten-free treats I have had the pleasure to sample. As someone that became celiac at 47 the baked items are legit and so are the staff.

Paul Roney

Hands down, one of the best REAL gluten free places in Calgary.

Just had an amazing experience at Selia Bar and had to share! The entire place is 100% gluten free, which was such a relief — no need to worry about cross-contamination at all. It’s so refreshing to be able to choose anything from the menu without second-guessing or stressing. There were so many delicious options to pick from, and everything we tried was fantastic. Our server, Erick, was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better with his thoughtful service. If you’re looking for a safe and genuinely enjoyable place to eat out, I highly recommend Selia Bar. I left feeling full, happy, and totally at ease.

Monica Lantz

Cannot recommend more! It was safe for celiacs and even made a carnivore say he could become vegetarian. Really beautiful and tasty food! The staff is so polite and kind.

Lance L. Unser

I’m a Celiac and they had so many options for me it was AMAZING. I haven’t had Sushi and Tempura Shrimp and Calamari in YEARS The staff are amazing so helpful and it was so much fun. Words cannot describe how wonderful this experience was

Greg Widmeyer

Best gluten free pizza I've ever had!

Jadyn Brown

Love this place! They have so many vegan,vegetarian and gluten free options it makes it easy for anyone to eat here

Katie Chalifoux

An okay diner it feels kinda tight and is loud but the fact it's gluten friendly is a big plus and on top of that the food tastes absolutely amazing, which is hard without gluten. Coffee was not fun and it was super busy. Overall it's a cute place every once in awhile, though I don't think you'd want to make it a regular spot.

Jen W.

The food is incredible! The chicken crack and cauliflower is the best combination, popcorn chicken and fried cauliflower. If you’re gluten free and haven’t been here, you need to go. I come here with people who can eat gluten all the time and they also love it.

Jennifer Heard

Absolutely love Communitea Cafe in Canmore! The vibe is warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and flavourful, and there are tons of clearly marked gluten-free and vegan options. As someone with celiac disease, I felt completely safe eating here. Great service, amazing teas, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend!

Bailey Jackart

Steve was an absolute delight as our server! The food was delicious and the gluten free options were great!

Alex Thompson

We loved this place. Best burger I’ve had in a very long time (bison burger), plus the waiter was first class. They catered really well for my coeliac wife and the beers they had from the 3 Bears local brewery were excellent too.

Eric Schultz

The Next Act is the quintessential third place. The staff is always welcoming and make you feel like you're at friend's place, not a restaurant. And their gluten free fish and chips is a real treat for those of us with Celiac 🥰

zamacity61

Fantastic little diner on the east side of Airdrie, tucked into a strip mall... easy to find with plenty of parking nearby. Went for Sunday brunch and weren't disappointed. One of our party is celiac and requires a gluten free menu, Abe's features many GF options, the veggie scramble was amazing. The rest of us enjoyed burgers and a chorizo Benny. Good if not great service so we will be back. Especially for the gluten free pancakes!

Marc Quinn

Absolutely amazing food, everything is fresh. Highly recommend to anyone with celiac. And if you're an egg person, these are the freshest eggs I've had in a very long time.

Timothy Laidlaw

This place is fantastic from every aspect. The moment we stepped foot in the door we received a warm welcome. Our gluten and dairy allergies were catered for with ease. We massively over ordered but found all dishes to have such great flavour. The food is very fresh and tasted very traditional in the way it was cooked. Ben and his team are really setting the standards for how customers should be treated whilst serving amazing food right here in wonderful Calgary. We will be back

RM

I am celiac. Everything here is amazing. All the desserts are gluten free and there's lots of variety and choice. The sandwiches can be made gf and the coffees are great. The business is female owned and operated so happy to support female entrepreneurs too. The high teas are a great excuse to get together with friends

Worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Gluten free poutine was inedible. Felt like the fries had been sitting all day. They were grease upon grease.

Rob

We had breakfast here and came back the next day for again breakfast and lunch take out. Pancakes delicious!! They have separate glutenfree menu, all options i had where amazing. Kind service.

Patrick Turvey

We really enjoyed our breakfast at Rocky Mountain Bagel Company during a recent trip to Canmore. The food and coffee were great and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. They also offer some great gluten-free options too! We went one morning as soon as the restaurant opened, and within 10 minutes, there was a line up to the door - it seems to be a Canmore favourite!

Shanea Pederson

Brown sugar is amazing! Lots of gluten free options if that's something you are looking for. They also have the best sugar cookies in okotoks. Highly recommend

Makenna Short

Went for the first time this weekend and we love it! Fantastic Gluten Free options and they took my allergy very seriously. Super yummy food and the staff were amazing and lovely and kind 💕

chavy dworkind

All the arepas can be made gluten free. A bit too greasy but tasty and good quick service.

Lydia Van Thiel

Gluten free crepe. ! Delicious.

PJ Swan

We were celebrating an 80th birthday. Jeremy was very accommodating with our reservation and we were able to bring in a gluten free cupcake for the bday girl. There was only 3 of us and all our meals were absolutely delicious. However, our server Cailie was extremely inattentive. We had trouble to get just a water. She never offered any of us another wine, tea/coffee or dessert - even when she brought out the single cupcake we had brought in. Upselling is somewhat expected as a customer, but we certainly didn’t have to worry about that! Anyway, I would go again because it wasn’t my first time and I know the food is great and service is usually awesome as well. Tonight was just a big disappointment being I picked it myself for this special event.

Renee Rogers

I love that they have gluten-free for people with celiac so good and nice to be out of the house with my daughter

India Cyr

Visiting from Calgary and stopped by Remedy Café for their gluten-free options. The staff assured me food prep is safe for celiacs, with a separate prep area, toaster, and utensils. Tried the coconut chicken wrap on a GF wrap, Punjabi style — absolutely flavorful and filling. Saved half for later! Great experience and will definitely be back. Shoutout to the server for being knowledgeable of gluten free practices and a stellar recommendation for my wrap!

Sean Mount

They serve gluten free and vegan options that taste good. A little expensive, but it is a tourist town. Would definitely recommend.

Courtney Clark

Rob gave us excellent service and the food was to die for. My mom and I both have celiac and the strawberry French toast was fire. They were accommodating and fast!

Lucy P

Lots of gluten free options. The first time I have had Benedict and crepes since being diagnosed celiac and I’m a happy camper!

Ashley Bredesen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Path Plant Based Metaphysical Café is truly a treasure in every sense of the word. Their food is always delicious, but what sets them apart is the incredible care and thoughtfulness they show toward their customers. Recently, I asked if they could make their gluten-free nuts and bolts mix—a seasonal favorite of mine—and they joyfully agreed, even though they no longer focus exclusively on gluten-free offerings. When I picked it up, they mentioned they had trouble sourcing some ingredients and had to improvise, but they still put so much love into making it. They even gifted it to me, which was such an unexpected and heartwarming gesture. This kindness turned my entire day around. It reminded me how special this café is, not just for their food (which is amazing—I even got to enjoy one of their gluten-free pretzels, my favorite!), but for the heart they pour into everything they do. If you’re looking for a place with tasty plant-based treats and a team of people who genuinely care, The Path is the place to be. Thank you for always going the extra mile and for being such a blessing to your community!

Larisa McIntyre

Best gluten free and vegan sushi, they are very fast and accommodating. Highly recommend wholelifego it’s amazing! Thank you WholeLifeGo!

Alex M

Great place to go whether it is brunch with your mom, date night, game time, business lunch, or family meal. Highly recommend it. The food is delicious. Tried the new teriyaki salmon bowl tonight. Partner loves the gluten free fish and chips. Very well managed. Staff, food, and atmosphere are always 🎯⭐️. Thanks!

Candace L

Canela is amazing! Been visiting since we discovered their offerings at Barrow Coffee way back when, and then started visiting the Little Red House off Macleod! So stoked when they opened up a beautiful bakery in Inglewood! Consistent quality all around, and the drinks are amazing, full of flavour! Savoury treats (Korean hot dog all the way!), lots of desserts (why cant I just have one of EVERYTHING?) I’ve brought many of my non vegan family and friends here, and brought many treats to them as well, and it’s always “what? It’s vegan? I couldn’t tell!” Ps - the gluten free chocolate caramel loaf is to die for, and I will cry tears of disappoint they ever stop making it. THE BEST.

jody s

Truly amazing meal. Fresh, great taste, excellent service, and fantastic drinks. My mom is celiac and enjoyed the risotto and I had the bison meatball pasta. You will not be dissapointed with the flavor and fresh products.

Donna Jenson

Against All Grain Benny was by far the best eggs benedict I’ve ever had. Got the spicy hollandaise and it was just the right mild spice. The Brussel sprouts were sweet, carmelized and pure perfection. Vegan and gluten free which was perfect. I will be back to try other vegan GF items.

Janine Young

Great food, excellent outdoor seating! Ate here twice during our stay-excellent gluten free options.

Zach & Rebecca Wiebe (Zach&Rebecca)

They are not careful when it comes to correctly labeling and preparing for dietary needs. I have Celiacs Disease and due to them giving me a regular bagel with the written label of a "gluten free" I'm now experiencing agonizing symptoms. Luckily I won't die, but if you have any allergies DO NOT GO TO THIS REMEDY. Could you imagine if it was a nut allergy?! Do better.

Celina R.

Love their strawberry matcha, smoothies, and peanut butter balls! Lots of gluten free baked goods available as well.

Andrew Braun

Tons of gluten free options and very tasty with lots of yummy flavors. Have desserts too and their house made sauce is great.

Christina Bialik

Great food, great vibes, and best celiac friendly breakfast in town! (Also good for non-celiacs too)

**WARNING - Long Review** To start off, I, being a forgiving imperfect human myself, have eaten at many different establishments. Whether it be “high class” or “whole in the wall” types of places. I’ve worked in the foods & service industry for many years. Only reason why I gave this a two stars, is for the fact that I am showing compassion to our server, who seemed to be either inexperienced or very overwhelmed. I was not aware of where our dinner reservations were going to be (definitely was not dressed to impress, and don’t tend to really dress to show my status anyway. My skin colour tends to do that for me before I even have a chance to speak, to show those who make judgements/presumptions otherwise… ~ would dressing prettier or more put together made a difference to how everything transpired… highly unlikely!) When I walked up and saw the sign, I was excited to experience what all the hubbub was about. Our group walked in and we were in very happy spirits, very excited to be uniting to celebrate my sister-in-laws 70th spin around the sun. We were greeted by a person that didn’t seem too impressed with the volume of our joy and promptly asked us if we had a reservation. It took him a few seconds to find the name and then directed us to follow towards our table. Reservation was for ten people. Set very nicely, in the middle of the room. We were respectful with timing and were not late for our reservation either… we arrived at approximately 6:20pm, the reservation was for 6:30pm. As we all settled and found our seats, we all noticed that our server wasn’t present. (Which we all agreed was a fair bit odd, as we are all accustomed to have someone either offer to bring water for the entire table, promptly after being seated, or offer a moment to decide on drinks. After about 5 minutes the server finally took the order. Not sure why it took 10 to 15 minutes for the bartender to pour five or six glasses of wine into the mini carafes, along with preparing a couple of glasses of draft, and pouring ginger ale into a glass, but even the water hadn’t been brought to the table yet. At this point, it was not busy. There were about 8 tables with customers already seated, and possibly had given their order. Can’t say for sure… After there were a few mixups with which wine belonged to whom and a glass of wine, with what seemed like, to be missing for a good 20 minutes, we were finally able to put our meal orders in. At this point we’d been sitting for just over 30 minutes… At about 7:15pm (give or take, it may have been later) the server brings a few plates of a sliced baguette with a creamy cucumber butter. For those who could eat it, it went down fairly quick, all voracious by that point, thinking we would be close to finally seeing the light of our meals. Sadly, we were all sorely mistaken. (Personally, I have a severe gluten/dairy intolerance and was not able to enjoy the bread and butter). One good thing out of all that waiting, our server was able to replenish our water & beverages, when she wasn’t too busy. At about 7:48pm, still no meals. My husband, sadly, cannot eat after a certain time and he had to ask for his meal to be cancelled. The server seemed a little indignant as to why he was cancelling the order (as some of our group also wanted to do, including myself) and I found it quite ignorant that she would respond in such a way and make it sound like it was inconsiderate of HIM to even make such a request. It was after 8pm when we finally received our food! Over an hour wait! When the food finally arrived, the GF/DF seafood **Penne** (there is not a GF Tagliatelle option, and had we known that, we wouldn’t have ordered it), other plates arrived lukewarm also. My sister-in-law and I both sent our plates to get properly heated. It had three cherry tomatoes cut in half, shrimp was tough and the DF sauce was a watery/oily mess at the bottom of the plate. The dish had a kick to it, but no actual flavour. There was zero compensation for the long delay or poor quality of the meal. Would not recommend!!

Finding a place that does a good gluten-free breakfast beyond standard bacon and eggs can be a challenge. Hash Breakfast Eatery met that challenge with a large gluten-free menu that included their bowls and bennys. The service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant was clean, as was the washroom. This place is definitely worth the try if you have gluten allergies.

Barbara Spieker

Nice atmosphere, good food, great value for money. And fully gluten-free.

Nancy

The food is delicious with lots of gluten free options! Tamara was our server, super friendly and welcoming! We will be back!

Megan K

Went to this place for brunch for the first time and had 3 amazing things to note. 1) the coconut chai was to die for and I would return just for that drink alone. 2) the vegan eggs Benedict on falafel was so perfectly savoury and delicious, as someone eating vegan and gluten free, I haven’t had something that covers my dietary restrictions taste so good in a long time. 3) the portion sizes!!! The quesadilla my family had was enormous, the side salads were huge! Amazing to have leftovers for later and even though we ate a lot, we didn’t feel gross after (which we often do with other places) because the ingredients were so clean. The staff were so kind and the restaurant gives cute earthy vibes. Hands down will be going back! (Wish we got photos to share!)
