The cutest coffee shop with delightful baked goods and lovely staff! Great gluten free panini and lentil chili, cannot recommend the salted caramel brownie (gf) highly enough! Such a gem of a cafe to find.
Everything is perfect there ! As I have no home, finding a place that feels welcoming and where I can use a good wifi is precious and I felt good working all day there, for few days actually. People that work there are awesome, pretty good coffee/chai latte/caramel macchiato and they also had gluten-free option (only the bread for sandwiches but they have plenty of choice and the one I had was delicious). I recommend 100%
I had a great gluten free sandwich here! The gf bread is made off-site and they have a separate toaster and mayo for the sandwiches. Obviously they bake regular bread here so the risk for a Celiac isn’t zero but I enjoyed my sandwich very much and the man at the counter was so helpful and patient with my questions!
Had breakfast here twice during our week in St. John's, and it was worth it! So many options, and the fact that they can serve most options gluten-free (i.e. on a gluten-free bagel) was great. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated deep-fryer, so I wasn't able to get any of the unhealthy stuff that everyone else had, but that's okay...I appreciated the fruit substitution for the hash browns!
I go here everytime I'm in town, which is a couple times a month for work, and I've never had a bad drink here. There's a huge variety of drinks hot and cold and they always have interesting seasonal drinks as well. I always get a sandwich with a gluten free bun when I'm here, my favourites are the pesto chicken and the cran-apple chicken sandwiches, the gluten free bun is very good, and doesn't fall apart like other gf breads tend to.
The Irish Loop Coffee House has a surprisingly large food menu with reasonably priced and tasty items. We went there for coffee and tea, but I also had an order of home fries. The fries were really great!
There are options for those who are gluten free and vegetarian. I didn't see any vegan only dishes, but I think they'd be able to accommodate people looking for a plant-based dish.
The service was quick and friendly, which is always appreciated. The atmosphere and decor is retro diner themed, which was a cool surprise.
I definitely recommend The Irish Loop Coffee House when driving route 10 through the area.
My wife & I stayed in the area for a few days on our honeymoon & this was absolutely the highlight. Their gluten-free fish cakes were a highlight for me (best I ever had) & the toutons were my wife's.
Cheers to Dawn, Kim & Kim for making such a warm environment & having a great chat with us.
Had a great time! There are many gluten-free options that you can choose from. The sandwiches and soup were very well made and fresh. The atmosphere was cozy with a lot of seating.
My Husband was so appreciative for his gluten free meal. He felt it was the best roast beef sandwich with mushroom gravy that he had ever had!!! Thank you to all the staff!!!
Very cute cafe with a surprisingly large selection of ways to get your coffee. A healthy menu of selections baked goods, including vegan and gluten-free options.
The owner is very friendly. Chatting with him makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. Newfoundland hospitality at its finest, and definitely worth a stop!
