Girdlers Café - Dee Why

Got to love gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar pancakes, especially when they look this good

Their chocolate gluten free crepes were delicious. The staff were really nice.

Celiac Beware: We visited today to celebrate my son’s bday. My Son is a Celiac. Sunrise and Breakfast was the first gift of the day. The Menu was clearly advertised as “gluten free” so I felt we may be safe. We even took this cafe as recommendation from other celiacs. At the bottom of the menu is does indicate the following: “Your safety is important to us. While we take steps to prevent cross-contamination, trace amounts of allergens, including nuts, may be present. Please consider this when placing your order.” I had several conversations with staff to ensure the Hot chocolate and the “all mine” that my son ordered was Gluten free and the staff reassured me that the chef would be notified and that my son was celiac. Unfortunately my son is currently experiencing gluten poisoning. This could be something in the ingredients or a cross contamination we are unsure. 🫤 Location is amazing, Staff were pretty average with service. Came out with Breakfast without the bacon we ordered so served separately. The hot chocolates we ordered were powdery. The coffee wasn’t as great as I had read in other reviews. My meal “Bircher bowl” or something was actually pretty nice. The crepes my wife ate were ok apparently. And the juices were fresh and yummy. Overall, disappointed with my son getting sick on his birthday and having to cancel all his plans. Found some items good, but overall over priced. This maybe because is of location. Maybe if the service and the restaurant can be better to manage Celiacs and quality of coffee/HC they could definitely improve the value vs cost.
