Everything!

Winnie's has been a go to for my daughter who has Celiac. We have only purchased their desserts and she LOVES them. Maybe one day we will try some of their other food items. If you are looking for a CAKE you need to pre-order. They have various flavors available.

I was told by a friend to try their gluten-free lemon tart. Initially dubious, I'm now completely enamored. The filling was perfectly tart, and the crust was crisp and buttery.

Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics! You can sprout a new love for gluten-free eats at this local cafe, and you'll hardly miss the gluten. The sandwich is as satisfying as it looks, with ingredients that come together to deliver a delicious bite where basil is the star. They also have a mini side salad, but I opted for an orange almond cake too, and the citrusy addition pairs nicely with the sweet, nutty almond base.

This place was incredible!!! We looked for a safe gf place for our celiac daughter, and this one was such a treat in that it is all gf. But even more amazing was the healthy, plentiful and incredibly tasty meals we had. We left fully satisfied and it kept us going for a very long time. Amazing service as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you for giving us an amazing meal. We hope for Impact restaurants to come to Vancouver, our home.

They had a lot of freezer items, and different shapes of gluten free pastas, which was nice to see. There were also a lot of lovely baked goods in the case. I read that they had GF beaver tails, so that's why I came. I was excited to try my first beaver tail (newcomer to Canada). When I got it, it was slightly warm on the edges, but refrigerator-cold and damp in the middle. My partner told me they are usually fried, so it should have been piping hot. It was disappointing. I was thinking about getting a sandwich, but overheard someone ask about getting pasta, but it would have taken 40 min for that. Surprising, since they use the dried pasta they sell to make it. I had some questions about items, but felt dismissed and almost belittled by the answers. I was off-put by the rude tone, and combined with my disappointing menu item, won't be back. I'm sure it's fine if you're just going for cookies or frozen goods, but some other folks and myself were wondering if someone was actually there. It took quite some time for the owner to come out from the back. Not sure if that's the norm- maybe they were short-staffed, but don't go unless you have lots of extra time to spare.

Have been going here for many years. Best prices, quality, taste for a gluten free bakery in Ottawa

Great small business, not many people put as much pride into there work as cal, from sourcing the best ingredients and always pushing the boundaries of gluten-free food this store embodies what all Gluten-Free products should be trying to do 👌 I'm not even gluten free. My aunt is I just get snacks for her and eat them on occasion and find they're phenomenal! 10/10 👌

100% gluten free, good bakery options

Plant Matter Kitchen is such a wonderful place to enjoy healthier, delicious options. Everything on the menu is vegan, and most items are gluten-free or can be made gluten-free, which I really appreciate. One of my absolute favourite desserts is their blueberry cheesecake—so creamy and flavourful, you’d never guess it’s vegan and gluten-free. Their chocolate cake is just as divine—rich, moist, and totally indulgent. Truly a slice of heaven! The presentation is always so beautiful. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff, especially the waitresses, are always so friendly and lovely. It’s a spot I keep coming back to, and I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.

Andrea Adam

What a treat. I live gluten-free and to be able to feed a little urge for classics like baked goods or a chicken pot pie is just wonderful. And they are sooo friendly ☺️

Eric McDonald

Amazing coffee, the biggest ice cream cone I've ever seen and great croissants! Gluten free snacks as well!

Shana S

Delicious mini tarts. Loved the pecan for sweet and the beef for savory !

Rob Aleksic

Excellent plant based gluten-free menu 👌 Will recommend anytime 😊

Vaidehi Patel

I came here to dine in last weekend for the first time, closer to their closing time and was greeted very nicely and food was very amazing! I love all gluten free idea. My drink was a bit bitter so i went and asked for a different drink, the supervisor (im assuming, short brown guy) was very rude to me and said, “what do you want then?” And then slammed the drink on the floor. This is ridiculous behaviour. I understand the hurry to close but this is not the way to go!

Ashlee L

Very accommodating for celiac

Ally E

These guys have the absolute best gluten free treats that you’ll be able to find in the Hamilton/Niagara region. They also have so many options for gluten free treats too, not just one type of cookie. They have squares, cookies, donuts, cheesecake tarts, bread and more and you can’t even tell it’s gluten free

Dipankar Arora

Healthy food. While ordering I was told that everything here is gluten free. I tried K & K lasagna.

S K

Love it here. It’s so cozy. Lots of their little treats and baked goods are gluten free and I believe they are all vegan. Their brunch menu is good too! Very generous portions. They always play the perfect cozy calm music, you can reserve a table which I would recommend doing on the weekends. I’m the warmer months they have some patio tables out on the sidewalk to watch all the Locke street dogs walking by. The banana bread is 20/10. I also love their matcha oat latte with strawberry syrup.

Amber Lynn H

So delicious. Gluten-free Waffle cone and calico ice cream was incredible.

Vic Coy

Superb gluten-free options on the menu. The best gluten free pizza and cookies. An excellent small grocery area, as well. Staff are amazing. I work a very physically demanding job and always feel great and energized for my day after eating here.

April Weatherbee

I just love your Gluten free and Vegan donuts! I appreciate you making gluten free and vegan donuts! It’s usually just one or the other. I tell all my allergy friends about your shop!

Alannah D

It is not at the location. It is a columbian bakery with a sign to call if you want something. For someone just passing through hamilton this put a damper on our ability to get gluten free.

Courtney Lewicki

I don’t normally review , but WOW. I have had a gluten intolerance for a few years now and have recently been taking it very seriously. As you can imagine it’s been hard to find things to substitute things with gluten that doesn't taste like cardboard. If your gluten free THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I had a ham panini , cupcake and brownie all gluten free. I was so delighted how fresh and yummy the bread tasted , the cupcake was just right amount of sweet with a light tasting icing. Oh gosh, perfection. I haven’t tried the brownie yet but I’m confident it’s delicious. Too bad we live an hour away, but I will 100% be returning here soon, worth the trip. Thank you 3 Sisters!

Amazing place with an incredible variety of gluten-free and dairy-free foods. There is truly something for everyone here. I also love that they're always trying new things and bringing in different items from other vendors. My personal favourite items are their mint chocolate mega cookie, original (chocolate chip walnut) mega cookie, ice cream sundaes, and then some of the vendor products they stock in their freezer (cheese sticks, croissants, etc.). The owner and other employees are also very helpful, especially in determining which allergens are present in their products. They are thorough with labelling their products, which is very appreciated!

Rochelle Buenviaje

It's a small place and very popular. I took my sister here who has a gluten allergy and she had grilled cheese with lentil bread (pictured and almost finished). She loved it and they do not skimp out on the cheese. I had the Oaxaca sandwich which was very good and the spiciness was just right, paired with a Thai carrot soup. Coffee was good and served in a big glass mug. We had a window view which was a bit cramped but felt alright. You see so many people come in of all ages and backgrounds. Servers were friendly, left us mostly alone and revisited when needed. Atmosphere is very local and rustic.

Great costumer service and very celiac friendly menu.

Rhonda York

They had some tasty gluten free options. Wish there had been more. The server went above and beyond to clean my dishes. Defiantly going back.

Stumbled across this bakery when travelling with a party of 2 gluten free people, the treats were unreal! I had the vegan gf blueberry scone which was yummy and the vegan gf cinnamon scroll/bun which was absolutely unreal ! My friend had a gf brownie and cookie and loved both! Great service, lovely little store and would definitely order a cake from them in the future if i come back!

Jodi Kipp

Great place for gluten & dairy free food!!

Sara Lei

Love the atmosphere and the food. Lot of options for people who are gluten free

Coralie D'Souza

One of the best gluten-free spots in the city! Every single item is delicious.

Kate De Sousa

Traveling through and was looking for a place that could accommodate gluten free. I had a sandwich and fries! It was absolutely delicious! I haven’t been able to eat fries in a restaurant for years! The food was fresh and had amazing flavor!

Mark Bocock

My fiance and I went to check out their gluten-free options and love their sandwiches. We had an egg salad and a tuna. Both were great (the bread tasted good and didnt crumble). They also offer salmon and cucumber w cream cheese sandwiches, which I look forward to trying next time. Recommended.

Racheal

Absolutely delicious treats and fresh bread. The date squares are light and the perfect sweetness. The best gluten free bread I’ve tasted. I’ll be back! Merci 🙏

Sometimes it's hard having celiac disease. Today our group went for sushi and I unfortunately couldn't eat anything there. Lucked out and Sweets from the Earth was close by! I met Olivia and she was so friendly and sweet! She gave me coupons and bonus cookies too!

I stopped by the Bakery Cafe yesterday to grab some quick eats before hitting the road. The place is quaint and cute inside. Rustic feel with lots of natural light from the windows, and they were playing some great upbeat music (Ibiza feels 😂). The staff were nice and the food was quick. You order at the front counter and can go take a seat after in which you’ll be given a number for your order. They bring what you’ve ordered to you. They have a little kitchen station area in the back of the seating area where you can grab water for free, Jam and condiment containers, and other eating needs. They also had bins to place your dirty dishes after you’re done eating. I found the prices to be very reasonable and the baked goods were also very well priced. I had a butter tart and it was 🔥👌 so yummy. I made sure to buy a six pack of butter tarts on my way out. They also had freezers either frozen meals you could buy which is perfect for those going up to the area for a weekend. They had the fresh bread and other baked goods as well as Keto and Gluten Free products!!! For those that might be celiac. Overall, this was a great place to stop by quick for some morning fuel before starting the day. Will for sure come back when I’m in the area again.

This Mexican breakfast spot is so delicious and quaint. Their menu is loaded with so many gluten and dairy free options and the service is amazing. They are knowledgeable of gluten and dairy allergies and do whatever they can to accommodate you. All the staff is so friendly as well! I will definitely be back!

Marsha Lebeau

This cozy cafe had an amazing selection of delicious and beautiful treats. Vegan, gluten-free, savoury and sweet....it met all our needs!!!! We will make this a regular stop between Ottawa and Kitchener !!!!

Perfect food really nice servers. Also they have gluten free options. Really enjoyed with the food and with patio:)

Amanda Hammond

The tea flavours are delicious and there are lots of gluten free options. Also genuinely the most comfortable couches I’ve ever sat in in my life.

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Camille Cayot

A great place to create your own gluten-free bowl, just the way you like it. A special mention for their paleo pecan pie bar: delicious 🤤 Build-your-own gluten-free bowls + their paleo pecan pie bar = 🤤

Denise Berg

Amazingly tasty food, very friendly service and reasonable prices. The gluten-free Nanaimo bars taste just like the regular ones. Original, beautiful artwork is on the walls. Coffee is quite good too. Love the place!

Alex Kinsella

Always an absolute delight having breakfast here. Food is amazing and they have gluten free bread for toast. 10/10
