Top 6 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Haney, Maple Ridge

Jamie Wells

I have been a longtime customer of Big Feast since it opened. I did slow down over the years just due to costs. I have gone back a few times in the last year and have not at all been very impressed (it's not like it used to be). 1.Today I went for brunch, we decided to sit outside but noticed after a bit that it was a bit chilly, so we got our menus and went back in to request to sit inside. Our server told us their heaters were not working this morning then went to get someone else with an unwelcoming facial expression who made a point of saying it is our policy we do not change tables and reluctantly sat us inside. Note it was not at all busy. I am not sure why she made a point of telling us about the policy, it did nothing but make us feel bad like we did something wrong. Instead, she could have said sure no problem and sat us inside without mentioning the policy OR let us know the rules ahead time. 2. The food was overpriced for what you get. I ordered the Thai curry. It lacked flavor and tasted of salt and vinegar. I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago at the cactus club and t was so delicious and cost the same. I had a sweet tooth and went to the showcase and ordered the pecan pie. It was not good at all hard as a rock and no flavor at all. I got my bill, and the pie was shockingly 10$ for a slice. Absurd. I can make whole gluten free homemade pie myself that tastes like something. 7$ may have been a better price. I said to the server the pie was 10$ and she says yep smugly and said it is homemade and the whole pie costs 75$. Ok thanks. If you need a good pie go to Hansel and Gretal bakery. No More Big Feast

One of my absolute favorite spots in Maple Ridge! Alina’s Café is a gem—always spotless with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. I’m especially grateful for their amazing vegan menu—it’s not easy to find healthy, fast, and flavourful plant-based options, but Alina’s delivers every time. Their customer service is top-notch—always friendly and helpful. I also love the little extras, like 10% off their bahn mis on Tuesdays, and their selection of vegan and gluten-free treats is fantastic. Oh, and don’t forget the bubble tea—a perfect pairing with any meal. Highly recommend for anyone who values clean eating, great service, and a relaxed café vibe. Thanks to the Alina’s team for consistently going above and beyond!
