One of the best dedicated 100% GF places in TO. A life saver for people in midtown !

Brooke Waters

Delicious celiac safe establishment with world class baked goods and crepes. Their almond and chocolate croissants are fantastic! The crepes were devine. The owners were present, extremely friendly and confirmed their food was celiac safe. I was diagnosed with celiac 8 months ago. In my prior life, an almond croissant with morning coffee was a favorite. This was my first gluten free croissant and it was the best one I’ve ever had…better than I remember. Please visit this cafe and enjoy everything on their menu. Bon appetite!

100% GF I’m Celiac but I went to this place with many friends who don’t have to be on a GF diet and they all loved it!

Excellent gluten free chicken sandwich! 10/10 recommendation

Brent Helwig

So I’ve been gluten free for a while and the bread scene is just rough…it just is! This is the best bread I’ve had! And the donut balls!!!OMG!!! I have no words! They are worth the drive from wherever you are! They come in threes because you can’t have just one! Dangerously delightful! I’m going back tomorrow for more! Overjoyed that I found this place!

Michelle Bradshaw

We got the tempura, some sushi, swordfish, bruschetta! Everything was unreal. The cocktails and mocktails were very well made too! Fully Gluten Free restaurant which was amazing for celiacs! Highly recommend.

Sonia Cloutier

Excellent restaurant, very good and homemade meal! Impeccable service and very friendly owner. A restaurant this good and 100% gluten-free is rare these days. I live 2 hours from Quebec City and I will return. I recommend 12 stars out of 10.

Jessica H

Amazing!

Marissa Hay

Whoever we interacted with (I think the owner?) was very attentive to my friend and I, and the other patrons. I loved that everything what gluten free!! The food was classic and delicious. The frozen fish to take home looked vibrant and yummy too!

Nikita Crane

I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.

Leanne Gilbert

Soooooo good!! Highly recommend whether you need to eat gluten free or not! Super fresh, hot & fantastic tasting gluten free Chinese food. It's better than any "regular" Chinese food I'd had prior to being diagnosed celiac. Everything we tried was delicious - fried rice, chop suey, chicken balls, general tao chicken, etc. but my favourite was the honey garlic pork. Everything was so good we ordered more food for takeout to go along with our leftovers from dinner. Also a great selection of frozen items. It was well worth the hour & a half drive for us to get there & we'll definitely make the trip to get there a few times a year!

Lily Kane

100% GF Lots of options Staff really nice

Jillian Cramer

The best gluten free bakery in the area! I have 0 worries about eating here.

Danielle Truong

Delicious fish and chips, super appreciate the separate frier for gluten free items.

Taylor Troock

Delicious gluten free! Gwen was a great server.

Joy Pamnani

Bunner's Bake Shop in Kensington Market is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious vegan and gluten-free baked goods. They offer a wide variety of treats, from cakes and cookies to bars and other desserts. I was particularly keen to try their pies, but unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we arrived. This speaks to their popularity, so I'd recommend arriving early for the best selection. Despite missing out on the pie, I was still impressed with the other options available. I especially enjoyed their date squares, which were both sweet and chewy.

Divine Blinds

Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! Price was good too. 10/10

Christian Griggs-Drane

Julia made this an incredible experience! I am so grateful for Julia and The Mule, as a celiac and anaphylactic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts, my time finding restaurants that I feel truly safe is rare. This was the first place in Canada where I felt that safety to just explore the menu, relax, and enjoy. Everyone that came to our table was kind, informed, and awesome! Also the food IS AMAZING! Best tacos I’ve had in Ontario. Thank you again to Julia and the team for making a memorable meal and amazing experience. Will be coming back to Hamilton just for The Mule!

Allegra Nardulli

This spot is the ultimate bakery for the flakiest gluten and dairy free pastries!! It is by far my favourite gluten free bakery! I would go back to Montreal just to visit this spot 😍

Celiac approved and delicious

David Stemen

Ben and Naomi have put together easily one of the best cafes I've ever been to. I only visited twice while in Montreal, but I left feeling like I was a regular. The bread is amazing, the pastries are divine, and the classic Italian-style espresso is some of the best I've had outside of Europe. Whether or not you have Celiac, gluten sensitivity, any other allergies or none at all, I cannot recommend this little fallen piece of Elysium enough.

Sachin Aurora

My go to place to pick up bread and anything gluten free

Gurleen Pandher

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Savannah Huyer

Absolutely amazing options for gluten free from delicious homemade bread to onion rings!!! Plus, Faune provided incredible service. They went above and beyond for us to enjoy a lovely brunch. Highly recommend.

Victoria Alexander

Not the fanciest bakery and was missing some products, but the food they did have was amazing. It is always great to find these hidden bakeries that are 100% gluten-free. I will definitely be returning.

Dre C.

Since I've been gluten-free (almost two years!), this is one of the few places where I finally feel "normal" when I order a dessert, a loaf of bread, or a delicious meal without having to worry. Everything is delicious, safe, and made with love. Suzie Sans Gluten has literally changed my life. Their caring team, incredible products, and warm atmosphere make every visit a joy.

Jacqueline Martens

Turtledoves is a great gluten-free bakery! I have Celiac disease, and they make some of the best bread I have tried. Their hazelnut chocolate croissants are also delicious. I highly recommend checking out Turtledoves — you’ll be impressed by the quality!

Danika Jacob

100% gluten free. Sooooooo good even my Gluten eating friends love it here

Jason Whitmore

vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨 Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away. The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat! Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.

James H

Thank you SO MUCH for all the gluten free options. Amazing service. Place could do a masterclass on poached eggs (my grandmother would have been very impressed)

Johnny Manny

Got take out here. Amazing they have good gluten free options. They fish isn’t greasy , yet crisp. Portions are good. I would highly recommend

Alfred Tso

Great gluten free pastries. Thanks for the recommendation of the banana chocolate chip muffin. Simply delicious

Dan Ket

Didn’t eat here but checked out the menu. Pizzas $30+

Brooke Waters

This place is now 100 percent gluten free. I confirmed Celiac safe with the server. No gluten in entire restaurant and they are cautious with product sources. To top it all off, they make their own honey on their rooftop. My husband and I were so excited to discover this lovely restaurant. The staff is also amazing. Support this restaurant, we need places like this to stay open and thrive. Mahalo and Merci Bistro Hortus!

John Bragg

I took away the strawberry rhubarb pie/tart. It said gluten free but I was expecting at least a gluten free crust. The fruit was so over baked, it was puree. It was too sugary and not tart enough. The crumble on the top was very sparse. For the price, it was disappointingly a rip off.

Bowie

Best gluten product i ever had . Extremely nice lady at the store offered a few products as a gift of purchase since I mentioned I just got out of an ab surgery and are very limited to choice of food in recoverstage (no gluten , egg and dairy) . In love with the cream puff and lemon walfer. The muffin took me by surprise after the first bite from the oven. Never had to go for McDonald breakfast sandwich ever , perfect replacement. Gluten free life is pleasant with all the kinnikinnick product

I've been visiting Ben's for quite s few years to get my Gouda wheels for smoking and other Dutch necessities. Dave always has the best prices, quality, and time to chat. Having picked up GF foods there in the past for my celiac daughter we decided to visit the new location for lunch and shopping today. We were both amazed at the new store. Big, bright, lots of parking, and a fantastic selection of GF foods at reasonable prices. Wasn't hard to fill up a basket! The food at the cafe was top notch. I can see why it was very busy for the hour plus we were in there. I know I'll be back. Congratulations on your dream shop Dave!

Cassy A

Absolutely amazing!! Everything is gluten free and the food tastes soo good!

delicious gluten free crepes! had a sweet one with apples and pears and caramel, wasn't bad. my husband had a savory one with egg and it was great! the people working there messed up though, we put in the order for 2 crepes and they only made the savory one for some reason. they came out and asked me what I ordered and I had to wait another 20 mins for it. it was especially strange since we were the only customers so not really sure how that happened, and we were in a bit of a rush so having to wait was annoying. they were nice about it though.

Lyvia Rose Vaillancourt

LOVED the churros (fantastic with some coffee), so happy to have a gluten free option.

Carly Brender

Dedicated gluten free, nut free, vegan, and kosher bakery. Friendly staff and yummy sweet treats.

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.
