Ginger snap, oatmeal, and Linzer cookies were amazing!
Fruit muffin with jam filling was light, airy and filled with berries.
It’s always a wonderful surprise when a gluten-free bakery pops up unexpected in a mall you’ve never been to before. You made my day! I can’t add any photos because I ate them all so quickly.
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.
Mel’s Diner offers a classic diner experience with friendly staff, good food, and a retro vibe. We came at 9:30 on a Sunday and had a 20-minute wait for a table to open for 5 people, which felt like a reasonable wait time. There was counter seating available for smaller groups. We ordered quite a lot of food, and all of it was pretty good— nothing life-changing but a good, solid diner breakfast, with surprisingly good coffee. I typically find diner coffee to be pretty underwhelming. Mel’s menu also caters well for vegan and gluten-free people, which is something a lot of diners and breakfast places are missing. Mel’s has been around for a long time, and it makes sense why good food at reasonable prices with something for everyone on their menu.
I had a wonderful experience at Ottawa St South Street Burger!! I eat gluten free and they were very knowledgeable, safe and answered all my one million questions!! I would recommend to anyone who needs to eat gluten free :)
Thank you!!
I was excited to try a gluten-free donut since it’s been years since I’ve had one. While in town for a work event, I stopped by and got the apple cider donut. Unfortunately, it looked pretty sad. The texture was a bit off, and the only saving grace was the cinnamon sugar coating. There was also an oily aftertaste, which wasn’t great. My sister liked the vegan donut I brought for her.
Yum!! This place was terrific. I went there with a couple of friends that were gluten intolerant and we were wondering how many options they would have. There were plenty of options for them. I enjoyed my pear pizza. It was one of the best I have had in awhile. Surprisingly the bread cooked and served in the terracotta pot was fantastic. It was warm and what a neat presentation. If I am back in the area I will definitely be going back.
Ordered for dinner for the first time. Menu is clearly marked for Gluten Free menu options. We ordered shrimp fresh rolls and beef fresh rolls - the rolls were large and very fresh! One order of fresh rolls comes with two rolls and a light, but flavourful dipping sauce. We also ordered chicken pad thai and tofu vegetable curry. Serving sizes were enough to feed two adults with leftovers. Food was ready quickly and was fresh and flavourful!
Will definitely order from Bangkok Cuisine again!
**Update: We order almost once a month from Bangkok Cuisine and have NEVER been disappointed. We only wish they were open more!!
Delicious food and stellar service! We visited Borealis Grille & Bar in Kitchener today for a belated birthday celebration for our son. The restaurant had a great vibe and atmosphere. We sat inside, but the patio looked nice from the large wall of windows.
All of the staff were warm and welcoming, and our server, Luigi, was exceptional! He was very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable about the menu. He had a good sense of humour and seemed to enjoy interacting with guests, even as the restaurant became busier.
The menu offered locally sourced options and a variety of selections, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan choices. We ordered Barrie’s Farm Nachos, Blackened Chicken Taco Salads, and Cheddar Burgers. The prices were reasonable with good portion sizes. The food was delicious, timely, and well-presented and the homemade iced tea was refreshing.
Overall, we had a great experience and will visit again when in the area. Thanks again for birthday wishes Luigi! Cheers! Luana :)

We explicitly asked if the tuna bowl was gluten free and our server told us it was. We took our order to go. After eating it we saw a small note on the box that said sauces are not GF. My daughter has been throwing up since she ate. Very very disappointed.
I have a gluten allergy, so I ordered the harvest salad, and it was perfect! The staff took the time to explain the gluten-free options in detail, which made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated their attentiveness!
Made a lunch reservation for my family at Red Ginger and we had an amazing time! The food was delicious, lots of gluten free and vegan options. The service was amazing, our server Noot took good care of everyone and made our dining experience excellent! :)
The taco’s are fantastic and the service so friendly! They have gluten free, dairy free and meat free options. Best place to eat at the Kitchener market
Edit: I spoke with Brandon the owner and agreed to come back. As previous the pizza and drinks were great. Both Brandon and his brother were apologetic and made sure we had a great time. While they could have just ignored it, they owned the issue which says a lot. We will be back.
I recently dined in at The Civil with some friends. I had heard great things about it and was eager to try it. On arrival our waiter, did seem relatively new to the role, to give this context, I have worked in Food and Beverage in 6 countries for large luxury hotels. He was pleasant and made every effort to accommodate. Received our initial drinks and they were well presented and tasty (Flights).
We ordered pizzas and my girlfriend made sure to advise the waiter she does have a gluten intolerance and ordered the gluten friendly specific pizza crust. When her pizza was brought out, I clarified with the waiter it was gluten friendly and he said yes. Immediately following ran back to the table to let her know he made a mistake and forgot to make that note for the kitchen and he would get it fired immediately.
To this point no issues and it was handled well. I understand mistakes sometimes happen and appreciated his sense of urgency in resolving it. They also waived the charge for her pizza which I thought was a kind gesture. The new pizza took approximately 18 minutes to come out of the kitchen. At this point everyone else is done eating.
What really left a negative taste in my mouth was the conversation I overheard between our new server and who I believed to be the manager. His words were "you need to go talk to that table, there time is up and we need the table, They need to settle the bill."
I can appreciate that they have policies in place and agree with the application of it, but at this point, my girlfriend has just gotten her pizza, is a slice in and we now have a waiter telling us its time to go. We were not here this long because we wanted to be, but rather as a result of you and your staff's actions, or lack there of.
I am disappointed that we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience in a situation that we had little control over. The pizza was great, and overall the service was okay, but in light of the way in which we were treated, I will not be returning and could not wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone else.
I have visited this restaurant before, has always been good. My last visit was the kickoff to my birthday trip to Kingston, and it was exceptional.
Really love this place, because Stacked is one of the few breakfast places I've found in Ontario that offer gluten-free pancakes, waffles AND French toast. Most bfast places just offer GF bread, which is nice, but these days, with all the products available, I'll die on the hill that it's just lazy to not offer all menu items GF. Stacked always delivers.
I picked up my rental car in Kitchener, and decided to eat breakfast before driving to Kingston. Good choice.
It was a Thursday, but there were still a good number of diners eating...usually a sign on a weekday that the place is really good.
I started off with the celebration of Cinnabun pancakes. Do you know what a treat that is? I don't eat this stuff at home and these taste like the best cinnamon bun you ever tasted. With the pancake stack, you will also get meat, eggs and potatoes. It's a big meal full of carbs yes, but always good to treat yourself on occasion...life is short!
My server was Pratyasha. She is the most friendly and engaging server I've had at this restaurant. It's always nice when the server asks you a few questions and has a little conversation outside of just the food. She shows a genuine interest in her customers and it was much appreciated. Best server I ever had at this chain. She also knew that the sausage was not GF, and I always appreciate when your server knows that about menu items without you having to ask. Makes you feel safer about the food and shows they really care about their customers.
The food came out quick and was delicious. The scrambled eggs were not dry and the bacon was so good. Potatoes were perfect as well.
The restaurant was clean, including the bathroom and decor was cute. Easy free lot parking too. I'll definitely return. Hope Pratyasha is always my server!
Well I was told that the food was cooked on a bbq and there were no grilled lines or anything on my jerk chicken the rice was average at best all they did is put sauce on a cooked chicken breast I would save my money and not come back ! Although it is gluten friendly, if it’s a grab and go and not sit and eat I understand why it’s not that great you will wait to get home before you see the over priced food, maybe they should also say truffle chips are truffle salt on potatoe chips, marketing wins again not quality or value
I picked this restaurant for my family and i for breakfast because they meintioned they have gluten free options. When we 3ntered the restaurant i asked the lady if they had gf options just to confir and she confirmed. I ordered benedict eggs with toast, when it was served we asked if it was GF and the waiteress said it was not gf hence she brought me gf bread with eggs. I called her yesterday to confirm again if the sweet potatoes fries were gf and she confirmed it was gf because they use fresh sweet potatoes and they coat with chickpea flour. I now doubting about the bread if they really exchanged for gf. I have celiac disease, I haven't slept for two nights since Wednesday night because of excruciating pain all over my body. I usually feel pain during the day but if it gets worse at night. I have never experienced this much pain before. I will never go to this Cafe again and if you have celiac disease or any food sensitivity stay away from this Cafe.
Amazing service and their desserts are unbelievably delicious. They did my wedding cake and dessert table. It was amazing! They also offer gluten free options which is great.
This was my first time in this location and I really enjoyed it. We took my mom for mother's Day. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have specials for mother's Day, but that's not a necessity.
The food was quite good. 2 of us has the bison burger and the last had a French dip. I would recommend them both. The gluten free options were pretty good, but I think they could be better. A separate fryer or buying gluten free bacon bits would be easy. The sides were lacking for gluten free and the overlap of vegetarian and gluten free is surprisingly low.
The hot chocolates we had were quite bad. Not sure what they're using, but I would honestly just not serve it rather than serving that.
The food was decent. The atmosphere is cold and could use some love… a picture on the wall or some candles? The waiter seated us in the back corner at the worst possible table even though the restaurant was not busy and we had made reservations days in advance. Also extremely disappointing that they have no gluten free pasta dishes or pizza. Probably wouldn’t bother going back for that reason as there are very few options for me.

Have to say the food and service are +10….. Great menu selection, and also a good bar menu if interested. They also have gluten free and a kids menu also. They make sure you have a great portion of food, and you can see how the staff and even the managers are working. D making your experience a good one.
Roasted beet salad, red pepper soup and turtle cheese cake all gluten-free! Washed with it down with a peach sangria. Everything was great ! Eating out anywhere is expensive now so I cannot critique the cost.
To top off this evening our server Christina was absolutely fantastic! Attentive to gluten free requirements, patient and friendly, this earned her the largest tip I have given in ages.
I dealt with the owner, Andrea and her husband. They are extremely knowledgeable about ingredients and allergies. I have celiac and feel confident after conversing with them and eating there that they care enough to take the time with food prep. They are also generous with proportions and had good ideas about ingredient combos! 6** review! **It's best to be clear about severity of allergy with any other staff members
Careful attention to detail and a good selection of Italian food. If you are looking for a great dining experience in a non-chain restaurant, then go here! Great gluten free pasta and the special of the evening was delightful. Leave room for dessert.
My wife, son and I really enjoy eating here. The food is always excellent and the staff is friendly. I appreciate that they take great care in preparing gluten free food for my celiac wife. It makes for a great start to a night out.

We ordered extra-large pizzas from Pizzaville for a family gathering, and everything was perfect! They have so many options — including gluten-free and vegan — which made it easy to accommodate everyone. The pizzas were delicious, and both kids and adults were genuinely happy with the food. The staff at the store were also so kind and helpful. We’ll definitely be ordering again!
**Casa Toro 88 in Kitchener:**
* **Cozy and Gluten-Free Friendly:** This small Mexican restaurant offers a variety of gluten-free options, which is a big plus.
* **Seating:** Be aware that upstairs seating might be limited during peak hours.
* **Food:** The tacos are the highlight here, served in platters and boasting delicious flavors. However, the Esquites (corn in a cup) was unfortunately not very enjoyable and seemed overpriced.
* **Areas for improvement:** While the tacos were good, some additional garnishes could elevate them further. Additionally, expanding their appetizer options might be beneficial.
**Overall:**
Casa Toro 88 offers delicious tacos and caters well to those with gluten-free needs. While some appetizers might fall short, the tacos are worth a try.
Ordered Uber from them, needed some feel better food - when the order was lost in delivery the first time they replaced it for me in my second order still catering to allergy. Bless you and thank you for some good gluten free bowls
Fantastic experience, fast, hot and delicious. Gluten free pizza is the best I've had. They don't skip on toppings or cheese. Communication was easy, order was perfect and they delivered sooner than expected. Cheers to great pizza!
My boss brought me here for our annual leadership dinner and omg I go here everyday now. What a gem in Kitchener for a picky eater like me. I could eat their food every single day haha. They have the BEST AND FRESHEST Greek salad I ever had and I’ve had ALOT of Greek salads as it’s my favourite salad. I love how they grill their salmon it’s fresh with a crisp perfectly seared finish EVERY single time. There’s lots of options for everyone, gluten friendly, meat, poultry and sea food. You can’t go wrong with coming here, it’s nice for dates, great ambience and everyone that works here is really warm and homely. If you’re looking for a review to make a decision, look no further.
Genuinely horrible pizza. It's like Pepi went one by one through the ingredients to optimize how terrible each one could be. Terrible dough, no gluten structure, awful texture, no flavour. Ketchup like sauce with way too much sugar. Rubbery cheese. Suspect tasting pepperoni. Pepi has created an ensemble of flavours and textures that makes you question pizza itself (in a bad way). Would give 0/5 if I could. I hear the munchie subs are good though.
I really like coming here.. I know based off the two stars you'll think why two stars. Let me explain. I am gluten free and I always order a gluten free bagel with cream cheese. I've gone 6 times now. 6 times... 6 TIMES. ordered that. They always bring me out it on gluten free bread???? Stating they don't have bagels.. then they check with the kitchen and bring back a gluten free bagel that's half done and sloppy and in horrible condition because they had to remake it. Every single time I've went in this has happened. WHY
Nice ambiance and very nice owner but I must leave my honest review, the food wasn’t bad, but it also was evidently not the most authentic flavour and texture. I ordered gluten free pad Thai (it’s nice they have the option) but I must say it tasted kinda like the ketchup version of pad Thai. Pad Thai is made with low cost ingredients so I just can’t
justify $18 for a single person portion of pad Thai that isn’t better than thai express. I would definitely be open to trying more on the menu like a curry but this restaurant seems to be serving a westernized version of Thai food—serving personal portions in an “order at the cash register” fashion but sold for the higher price of the real deal. You even have to go pick up your own order. A very strange modern restaurant concept that seems to justify a higher price with less effort. I will say, it is beautifully decorated, and it may be perfectly suited for the Waterloo resident unfamiliar with the style of cuisine.
The staff was friendly and the burrito was delicious. They have many options to choose from, even vegan and gluten free. I had the Halibut burrito in a small size with a corn tortilla and l was more than satisfied. I will return again soon.
Our new favorite spot when visiting Kitchener! Our daughter and son-in-law just moved from the states and we were here visiting them. We came here two nights in a row because it was so so good! The first night we had the tapas small plates…olives, chicken nuggets, pork belly, scallops ….all were excellent! Service from Jack was top notch as well.
Second night we went back for the burgers and more chicken nuggets, and it was one of the best bacon cheeseburgers I have ever eaten! So full of flavor, it melted in your mouth, ah so good. My wife loved the lavender drink as well. They were very accommodating with gluten-free options… Their attention to detail was fantastic. The ambience and the staff are all very welcoming. Just what you want in a local restaurant. I’m a huge fan.
