This is the best!!! I am so happy!!! I have celiac and I felt safe at this restaurant : ) The staff are so friendly and also knowledgeable about food allergies. Their music was great too and I almost had trouble eating cus I was headbanging (calmly headbanging to calm music .) Please never close down. I didnt finish my food cause i got real full but it was sooo good Im like tweaking. Thanks
The gluten free treats were some of the best I've ever had. The first day I had a gluten free brownie bite and it was so delicious I went back the next day to have it again
But alas! It was different treats! Luckily there was a gluten free carrot cake instead. It was delicious. Light and fluffy and so pretty! There were two gluten free breads to eat as well. The sourdough was amazing. The bun was crumbly and fell apart everywhere so I would recommend not getting it.
The service was also excellent. Very kind and friendly staff :)
This was my 116th eatery in Vernon on my quest to eat at every eatery in Vernon.
Huge chain coffee shop in town. Super comfortable seating. It's very quiet in here too.
I paid $5.52 for a gluten free Belgian brownie. I don't know if I would ever pay that much money for any brownie again (regardless of its EU origins).
Staff was relatively friendly. Employees seem to like talking to each other. That's fine. They're young.
Overall, I enjoyed my Belgian brownie and my visit at Blenz on Anderson Way. Oh, and free wifi.

Fabulous plant based bistro, serving bowls, panini and wraps as well as fresh baked muffins and cookies etc. Lots of gluten free options too. My go-to place to eat in Vernon.
I’m writing this review after a shockingly disappointing experience. My mother-in-law, who has a severe gluten allergy, ordered a dish labeled as “gluten-free” on the menu. Naturally, we trusted the menu as presented—only to discover afterward that this restaurant hides the crucial detail that these dishes are only gluten-free upon special request, buried in the fine print.
This is unacceptable in today’s dining landscape, where “gluten-free” menus are expected to clearly and accurately cater to dietary restrictions and health needs. This oversight put my mother-in-law’s health at serious risk, which is utterly inexcusable.
When we raised the issue with our server and later the manager, their responses were defensive and dismissive. They argued that we should have read the fine print, as though a customer’s life should depend on scrutinizing hidden disclaimers. To add insult to injury, they even debated whether they should charge us for the meal they served her—despite their clear negligence.
What made the situation even worse was the manager’s unprofessional behavior. When I mentioned that I knew the restaurant’s owners, she dismissively stated, “I’m not threatened by you.” This level of hostility and arrogance, especially in response to a legitimate complaint about a life-threatening issue, is both shocking and unacceptable.
This level of carelessness and lack of accountability is appalling. Restaurants must take dietary restrictions seriously, and hiding critical information in fine print is irresponsible and dangerous. We won’t be returning, and I encourage anyone with dietary restrictions to think twice before dining here.
Please, if your server is Dillion, or your manager is Siman, double check your meals for allergy compliance.
This was an amazing experience. I’ve seen some not as good reviews but I am a Celiac and they took such awesome care of me and they made sure that I was taken care of All 4 meals was amazing and the couple with us said they had the best coffee they had at a restaurant in Vernon. It was simply AWESOME FANTASTIC AMAZING
Can not rave enough!. Service was great and funny. Food was superb. I've terrible food allergies and they were so accommodating and understanding. Will definitely be going again and bring all my celiac friends too. Thank you.

Very accommodating, wheelchair friendly parking kid friendly Gluten free options dairy free options
Fairly quiet atmosphere
We were seated quickly and drink orders taken. I had gluten aware alternatives for my Ahi tuna poke bowl. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the sushi was very good. Wasabi would have been nice. We were checked on and attended well by friendly helpful server.
Bean Scene Coffee House is such a lovely spot! It has a cozy, warm atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and we had the best gluten-free raspberry muffin—so fresh and flavorful! A perfect place to relax with a coffee and a treat.
Giving a 3 because the dessert menu is lacking in the chocolate/dark chocolate options as well as vanilla/caramel type options. It’s so full of FRUIT desserts - every choice has a fruit in it except the cheese. I had the lychee which has white chocolate but I didn’t like it. I don’t like fruit desserts and I don’t prefer white chocolate. I feel a dessert menu should ALWAYS have a DARK CHOCOLATE choice preferably gluten free! Chocolate is so many peoples favorite. I think peak fine should consider their dessert menu so it’s more rounded and not so full of FRUIT! Where is the decadent vanilla and caramel and brownies and chocolate!!?
They had a dark chocolate gluten free dessert about two years ago and it was divine. If they could bring that back to stay on the menu I would be coming there way more often.
Celiac friendly
