Top 5 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Annandale

Alexandria

I chose this spot given all the reviews mentioning gluten free options, but the cafe must’ve changed hands or menus, because when I arrived there was only one menu option marked GF - the fritters. Staff did not know about coeliac disease and had to find the owner which took some time. The owner then advised the fritters were perfect for someone with coeliac disease. Some time after I ordered them, I was then advised the chef cannot guarantee they’re gluten free on that day in particular (?). Obviously very concerning given it was marked GF. The whole back and forth took so long, that my friends had already received their food. I ended up having to order expensive $17 plain eggs on plain gluten free toast, the only safe option - super disappointing.

Great little local cafe, serving up freshly baked goods. MEALS: Great variety of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free food. Great gluten free bread and banana bread. They also have healthy poke like bowls which sound great. PRICES: Very reasonably priced dishes between around $6-25 per meal. SERVICE: Overall lovely staff, possibly not the most competent with us. I paid extra for ricotta and honey and it didn't come. I haven't been more than once so wouldn't rate down on this basis. ACCESSIBILITY: Wheelchair accessible, with some seating out the front allowing for those with large prams, dogs and wheelchairs. Only issue might be that they don't do table service, you have to go to the back to order. OVERALL: I'd still come back and get them to repeat my order back when I give it to them.

I got a whole box of doughnuts, a variety of different things and they were all bad. We couldn’t believe how bad these doughnuts were. They just didn’t taste good and the gluten-free ones were terrible, the worst gluten-free doughnuts I’ve ever had
