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.
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.
We have eaten weekend breakfast here on many occasions. The gluten free waffles are the best I've ever tasted. The coffee is great. The service is friendly. The seating is tight but worth the wait on a busy day.
I have to eat gluten free as I'm celiac & family members kindly picked me up some GF morning glory muffins from Paisley Cafe to try. Wow...best GF muffin I've ever had!!! I will be making the 45 minute drive to see them soon (& I suspect often!) to hopefully get more muffins & try whatever other GF delights they have! I wish I still worked at McMaster University so I could visit them every day!! :-)
**Update - visited in person - do be careful if celiac as server used same tongs on regular gluteny treats on the GF treats. I didn't notice the tongs weren't fresh until midway through server packing up my goodies & I ended up having to give away $30 worth of treats as I couldn't eat them. My bad, I should have asked server to use fresh tongs when I ordered.
The sweetest staff ever!! I always feel so welcome at Mulberry :) the salty vegan cookie and cinnamon bun latte are a must. I wouldn't recommend for celiacs, but they have an awesome gf banana bread for those with an intolerance!
Great place my wife is gluten free and they served us a great breakfast i like the button system for the less fortunate we donated $10 today toward it keep up the good wor
Drove from Oakville to visit Coven for the first time today. What a treat! All the staff were friendly and helpful. The product selection and quality was great. As someone with a few dietary restrictions (vegan for the animals and celiac for medical) I was extremely happy to find some of my favourite foods and even some new treats I'd never heard of before! Thank you, Coven. I'm looking forward to coming back again when I'm in the neighbourhood.
ALL their waffles are GF gluten free by default. Default was never so delicious as this! The Belgium Waffles had a perfect texture with a buttery moist chewy yet delicate airy interior and a crispy golden exterior. You can't make them better than this! Yum!! Thank you for sharing your talent 🙏
Clean, well managed and good value for the money. I like my pork not so well done but I understand that restaurants have to be cautious and not everyone likes pork on the pink side. The portions were good and they have gluten free rice-based pasta that my wife enjoyed. They even had GF bread to make a garlic toast! We each had a drink and found them to be reasonably priced too. So many establishments are gouging on that element now. We weren't expecting much from initial impressions but we ended up pleasantly surprised and would definitely go back if opportunity presented it.
I went today for the first time to get a gluten free cookie that someone recommended. It was excellent, as was the other baked goods I bought.
The atmosphere and so bright and cheerful. It was the perfect spot for me on a cold and snowy day.
Keep up the good work, Pinch Bakery.
This is a great cozy neighbourhood cafe! The coffee shop has a variety of different seating from different tables to bar stools lined up against the window. They have a variety of baked goods with some gluten free options. I enjoyed a mocha which was well made and tasted great!
First visit with some friends. It was great! The latte I ordered was perfect. Might be the best I ever had! Smooth. Not bitter at all. So happy Ancaster has a cute cafe that offers gluten free dessert (from Fairly Frosted). Looking forward to return visit. I will be a regular customer. And there is a porch swing!!
No matter where I go across Ontario, I cannot find Café Oranje's equal. The staff, the atmosphere, the coffee, the food... There is no comparison. I am delighted each and every time I visit.
If you are gluten-sensitive, there are always wheat-free options aplenty and their muffins are some of the best I have had in a long time. There is also gluten-free bread available if you want to get into any of their robust selection of sandwiches. And to any fans of oat milk, there is Earth's Own Barrista-style oat milk available.
The coffee is excellent - fans of black coffee, rejoice. It needs nothing added to be enjoyed to it's fullest. I simply tend to order lattes as a matter of preference.
The store is always clean and welcoming with an atmosphere that delights in clever simplicity. The owner reflects these values with her personable, easy wit, and her staff are always professional and courteous. I'm incredibly socially awkward and still, I find everyone who works here is really easy to talk to.
I am also sound sensitive but never feel the need to drown out noise here. Guests trend towards intelligent or pleasant conversation at a reasonable volume, and that over the sound of smooth jazz or lo-fi beats makes for pleasant background noise.
If you are someone who likes to work at the café, I have been using the space to draw and work on commission illustrations and have found it very easy to focus and get a lot done here.
The front door is a little small and heavy, but the staff are super courteous and if you think you will have any trouble with it, flag them down and they will absolutely help you. It's worth noting for the sake of accessibility as well, the bathroom is a rather small single-person room that requires you to ascend about two or three steps. As a result of the size and age of the building, there is no wheelchair accessibility.
The store is very lgbtq2+ friendly! I was asked for my pronouns (for context, I use they/them) and they have been well respected ever since.
All in all, I love this café. It is easily my favourite in the province. I am moving away soon, so I will dearly miss it. But I hope that it will continue to thrive so that whenever I visit Hamilton, I can stop by for a while.
My daughter and had 2 different versions of vegan, gluten-free waffles with fresh fruit, syrup, nuts and chocolate drizzled on top. I think I need to go back often, it was awesome! 🤩
Really excellent gelato! Everything was so fresh and naturally flavoured with local ingredients. The best part was the lovely service, they clearly cared about their product and customers. They were very knowledgable about gluten with a variety of choices with most options being naturally gluten free.

Dark Horse Espresso Bar is a fantastic new spot with direct access to Indigo 📚. Despite its small size, the place radiates great vibes ✨. The pastries and sandwiches are top-notch 🥪🥐, with gluten-free and sourdough options that are absolutely delicious 😋. Their cookies are also a must-try 🍪. The coffee is outstanding ☕ — rich, flavorful, and expertly brewed. For coffee lovers, they even offer beans to take home. The friendly and helpful staff make the experience even better 😊. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or savoring a cup of coffee, this place delivers. Highly recommend! ⭐
I have tried every single thing on this menu, and honestly you CANNOT go wrong picking anything! That being said my favourite bowl is the greenhouse (add chicken for extra protein) and either the classic or the dill tacos! They also have gluten free wraps which is a win! Cannot recommend this place enough! Everyone is so kind! Oh and don’t forget to treat yourself to an iced caramel macchiato!!

I had the best service today from Leah and Alex - two of the girls who work here. Even though the cafe was busy they made me feel right at home! Excellent pastries - lots of gluten free options, which made my day!
I'm only giving four stars because I think the coffee could have been better. Espresso was bitter and the milk was a bit burnt, but all in all I would recommend checking out this haven in downtown Dundas!
I have been wanting to check this restaurant out for a while. The name is intriguing. Driving by, it looked like a nice coffee shop. however, it is way more than that! I dropped in for a 2pm-ish lunch. There was a full house and a lineup at the counter. A sign says, "Order at the counter, and we will seat you." They have an incredible system! You place your order, are given a table number, and miraculously you look to see a placard with your number! They know when a table is available! The lineup to order went quickly. The atmosphere is perfect for conversation with lots of space to navigate tables. Your food is brought to the table by a super friendly employee. The food is delicious! It is appropriately priced and worth every dollar spent. My pearberry salad was more than ample as a side salad. The options for sandwiches include gluten-free. My friend had it for the Eggs Betty Sandwich. Feedback....really good!

This place is awesome. Sando’s are so addicting! Make sure you get there early before they’re sold out. The freshly made bread and cheese selection is great. I also love the gluten free pasta they offer on the shelf!

went to this little cafe on a whim to try out the gluten free brownie - it did not disappoint! nor did the vegan friendly strawberry/cherry square or the coffee. Or the friendly staff!
tucked away in the corner of a rec centre, I suspect this is a local 'secret'!
appreciate the concept of ' a place where everyone is welcome'
the hours are a bit tricky but we will be back!
I’ve been here a few times for breakfast. I have had the gluten-free options of their toast breakfasts, as well as gluten-free versions of the breakfast sandwiches.
If you are Celiac there is definitely chance for cross-contamination but they do a great job managing/preventing that! Just be direct as some staff are not aware of severity :)
Great ambience, little coffee shop vibes, good for studying.
Everyone loves Donut Monster. Our kids will have core memories of this place, we've been bringing them here since they were babies. If we tell the kids we have a fun surprise for them, their first guess is always "were going to donut monster?!?!" Always such creative and fun selection of flavours! My favourites are the cake donuts, just enough of a treat without being too heavy. They also have a walk-thru window at the side, so if you're walking your dog on Locke Street, you can walk up from outside to get your donuts! They also have some picnic tables at the side to enjoy your treats in the nice weather. We love ordering multiple flavours and splitting them and sharing them! This place is great because they have VEGAN options, but it would be nice to see a gluten free option as well one day.
We are super lucky to live above this place! Its a great spot - quality coffee, delicious baked goods, speaking of which, they have been able to give me gluten free options countless times and its been delicious! Finally, the atmosphere is great. Its a cozy spot to go solo or with friends. It is easy to see why there are so many regulars. The staff are always awesome too.
