Fabulous carrot gluten free carrot cake

Gluten free options (and not just only GF toast) with separate menu, great fish and chips, lovely atmosphere, special bins for backpacks, water and snacks for dogs, highly recommend!

Rachel Dawes

Excellent GF fish and chips, best I’ve had in Scotland! Dedicated fryer, be sure to add the GF/malt free vinegar, delicious!

Olivia C

The service here is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable on gluten free meals and how they adapt their menu to fit GF needs. If we were staying longer I’d be back here for breakfast again!

Finley Kilmartin

Yeah just lovely, I had the slow beef brisket sandwich, my partner who is coeliac had the frittata. We sat outside, the staff were lovely. All around positive.

Maryam alFalahi

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very sweet staff. One of the best brunch spots in Edinburgh. lots of gluten free options available.

Natalia Fernandez Caja

The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

Monika Turska

It was a real treat, excellent food! We had a veggie and vegan breakfast which kept us full for most of the day visiting Glasgow. Vegan and gluten free bread and cakes were great!

Linzi Todd

Amazing Toastada’s, chocolate cake, and scone was amazing too, went back for the Mac Cheese and haggis today. Fantastic going out to eat and knowing you’re completely safe.

Meriel Graham

Fantastic breakfast. Had the gluten free option of the full breakfast. Would highly recommend!

Hannah Young

Had the most amazing blueberry matcha, and great toast (gluten free option) that was very tasty. Such friendly staff.

Jill Simpson-Vince

Our server Elizabeth was great at understanding my daughter needed gluten free. Service from all staff was great, food arrived quickly and was very good. Would definitely recommend and next time we are in Edinburgh would go back.

Pum Vaandrager

Great restaurant for a lunch bite. Plenty of vegan and gluten free options.

Madison Holmes

Wonderful little coffee shop in Skye! The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free) and helped me have a nice meal! Highly recommend stopping by if you are in Skye.

L.

Very tasty food, also a special menu for gluten-free dishes. The friendly staff pointed out possible cross-contamination due to the small kitchen. Highly recommended.

Ailsa Kent

Loved this place. It was a rainy morning and we popped in for breakfast. The dining space is light and airy. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was prompt and hot. Coffee was tasty. Would go back tomorrow if we were still in town. Photos are of the Porty Smash and Poached Eggs on Toast with crispy bacon. Gluten free bread option available with really decent sized slices of GF bread, which made a nice change.

Martin Baumeister

Absolutely delicious vegan and gluten-free breakfast. You have two options for breakfast. One is the regular full breakfast that contains gluten and the other one is gluten-free variance of the full breakfast. We went with the gluten-free, which was excellent! Great selection of coffee and tea drinks as well. Very friendly service as well! Cute outside patio!

Ben Anning

Super friendly staff, great selection of gluten free food at very reasonable prices, lovely relaxed atmosphere inside and ideal benches outside at a prime spot in the hills. Terrific!

Rowan Murphy

I stopped by with my mother to grab lunch. We got a tea, leek and potato soup, and 2 scrambled eggs on gluten free toast. The wait time was pretty long, about 40 minutes. The tea was not very hot, and tasted like whatever had been in the pot prior. My mother was not very pleased with her eggs or toast- especially considering the pricetag of £9. I enjoyed my soup, a very large amount, however the potato had seemed to have partially dissolved in the broth and there wasn't very much of it actually in there. More of a personal issue, but the music was extremely loud to the point where we could not hear each other talk, even at louder volumes which was rather limiting to conversation. The door was also kept open despite the rain and I found myself rather cold. We used to come here a lot but the quality of the food and service has dropped significantly and I dont think we will come back. However the waitress was very nice! She swapped the dairy milk for oat when we asked about it and brought over extra water :)

Chloe Crowe

Best gluten and dairy free bagel and cake I have had in a very long time! Really good vegan looking options too.

Tricia B

Excellent gluten free and dairy free pizza options.

Anna Hewett

My family stopped here almost immediately after arriving in Glasgow for the first time. We were exhausted from a long flight, barely standing! The Willow Tea Rooms brought us back to life - it’s rare all of us to enjoy something at the same time, but this won everyone over. Absolute heaven. I got the gluten free traditional afternoon tea and my partner got the savory tea. Our son ate all of his ham and cheese sandwich, which is rare, as he’s very picky. Thrilled with our experience, will be back!

Anna T

My husband and I stopped here for breakfast while passing through town, and it was absolutely delightful. The staff were friendly, the food was both delicious and healthy, and the coffee was excellent! I have celiac disease, and I was so pleased to find plenty of gluten-free options—the gluten-free pancakes were incredibly fluffy and tasty. The menu even included treats for dogs, which was such a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Milnathort—great food and even better people! ☕💕

Brenda fleming

This is one of my safe places that I can eat. The food is amazing and the staff are really lovely and welcoming.

Donna Avery

Loved this surprise find! Stumbled in here looking for something warm to drink and got this mulled wine and gluten free carrot cake.

Andy Taylor

Great gluten-free options 👌

Jacintha Canary

Stopped off for a break from driving with my friend. We had sandwiches and lovely gluten-free mint cheesecake. My friend raved about the pocket full of roses tea, and it was divine. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Oh,and the outside is absolutely lovely with plant pots full of colourful flowers.Weekend will definitely stop here again.

Pum Vaandrager

Great food with good gluten free and vegan options.

Fiona De Luca

We had visitors 2 were Coeliac and 1 was lactose intolerant and one was vegetarian, the staff could not have been better, GF and vegetarian menu were available and they even adapted something from the main menu for us. The atmosphere, food, service and drinks were amazing, I will definitely be back again. Amazing place, congratulations to you all.

SJ Barlow

Yummy lentil and lime soup. Vegan and gluten free! Took it to go since they were about to close and found a spot up the street to enjoy, Middle Meadow Walk.

Rob Booth

This place was fantastic, got the last table available for breakfast. They have a full gluten free menu which covered just about everything I could want. I ate a mushroom Benedict which was delicious. Staff super helpful and friendly.

Bruce Milne

Have been in twice now and the food/staff have been great. Both times the service has been slow, but they apologised both times. Not sure exactly what the reason was, but hopefully something they can improve on. Other than that, decent food, plenty of options for coeliacs too, which is nice. I'd advise booking in advance (easily done on their website) as it can get quite busy.

Tia W01

I went with 4 of my friends and the staff were beyond friendly and accommodating, had such a lovely experience! The food was delicious and had great variety for Gluten free and Vegetarian.

Beryl Graham

Gorgeous gluten free porridge bowl with loads of yum toppings. Looks like most other breakfast things like pancakes etc can also be done gf. Lovely staff and space and atmosphere.

Laura Tur

We found Café Calluna thanks to Google Maps reviews while looking for a place that offered gluten-free food. We found more options than we expected. The staff was lovely, considering we were with a two-year-old who was constantly busy. The atmosphere was family-friendly. Pleasant space.

Neil Russell

New to the menu - by special request, dairy & gluten free flapjack 👏👏 Absolutely outstanding 😋😋 Thanks so much, Julie

Rebecca Robinson

Ah Dishoom! We had a business brunch meeting, not our first, we love this place in the mornings. Bottomless chai and chocolate chai just keep appearing at your elbow, staff are so good. Other coffees and teas also excellent. I'm gluten free so the granola bowl is perfect - granola, vanilla yogurt and colourful fresh fruit always make me so happy. Everyone else went for wraps or the omelette or the bottomless porridge - something for everyone including the dairy-free folk too. We'll be back. Set over three floors, but very popular so do book

Aaron Avery

Amazing food, and many gluten free options, including sticky toffee pudding!

Kathryn Boothroyd

The food was delicious. The menu was great, with a lot of gluten-free options, which is rare in my experience of cafes. The cafe itself is beautiful, exhibiting local artists' works (which are for sale). We were driving up to Stirling for our holiday and broke our journey in Jedburgh. We'll visit again on our return journey and see more of the town, too.

Colin Paterson

Great food selection and good service but most importantly for me, great gluten free options.

Emanuel Maxim

Great place for lunch and awesome catering for celiac needs with their GF menu

Katie

Great spot! Amazing selection for vegans, vegetarians and gluten free folks. Fantastic juices and coffee too :)

Fenja Wonderland “May”

This is a cozy cafe with a nice alternative vibe. Where you get delicious looking and tasting food and drinks. Where you can chill out, grab a board game or work on your laptop. It is quite popular, so sometimes in summer you might have to wait and come back as they have 7 tables and ruffly 18 seats. Vegan and gluten-free friendly and always new cool drinks on the menu. Plus I like that they display and sell local arts and crafts.

Jing Z

Good coffee and yummy gluten free cakes. Definitely worth a stop.

Peter Mackenzie

We visited this restaurant just over a week ago (party of five) for dinner and it was exceptional. The food was delicious, plenty of gluten free options, really imaginative dishes, generous servings, and great service - all at reasonable cost given the quality. The best meal I’ve had in quite some time. If you’re in the area, just go. You won’t be disappointed!

Ana Simarro

They are very friendly, and the food is very delicious, they also have vegan and gluten-free products.

Update on an earlier post. This time we dined in the Bath Street entrance version. Saturday lunchtime. Restaurant was very busy yet staff pleasant and helpful, willing to chat and discuss the menu options for a Coeliac member of our party. I was surprised another of the party had a dairy allergy which added to the complications of menu discussion. Starters arrived, looked and tasted great. My own main course a Pizza infernale was huge and delicious. Much better than the cardboard box variety from supermarkets. One of the main reasons for going out for a meal. Properly cooked stuff from professionals. Other members of the party joined in with the delicious notation. Chicken wrapped in ham, summer salad, garlic bread extras shared about the table. We enjoyed the meal and the chat. The atmosphere was very good too. The only issue as the restaurant was very busy, it was also loud and at time the discussions went unanswered or we missed the point in the story.

Sarah R

Delicious food, and great for celiacs / gluten free.

Kay Crawford

Awesome little cafe. Staff were so lovely and very quick. Lots of gluten free and vegan cake options as well as other food. Coffee was also fantastic. Would visit again :)

morag sterrick

Best selection of gluten free cakes and savouries we have seen anywhere. Well done Cafe Royal Girvan. All delicious!
