One of the more creative diners in town. Great food, flexible for gluten free options, vegan or vegetarian. I still go for the chicken or meat options but haven’t had a bad meal here. The popcorn chicken that I had last time was fun and tasty. The pot stickers were also great. Highly recommended.

As a celiac, I get very excited about restaurants that know what's up. This is one of those places. Like a diamond in the rough. 😍 I got the chicken strips and fries, with gravy on the side. All gluten-free and all delicious! The servers were kind and reassuring. I felt safe eating here which is such a great feeling. So the bonus of crispy yet fluffy fries and crunchy, juicy chicken strips was heaven. I got a cheesecake to go, and managed to snap a photo of the last bite. Haha. I almost forgot. So, my celiac friends, you gotta eat here if you're in Gander!

There are a lot of vegan options available and gluten free substitutes as well. This is a beautiful place to eat and enjoy with great service. I recommend eating here to everyone because everything tasted so amazing!!! Pictures are of the vegan mushroom burger/ parm fries with vegan cheese and asian slaw. The others- not vegan cheese pizza, garlic parm fries.

Everything is perfect there ! As I have no home, finding a place that feels welcoming and where I can use a good wifi is precious and I felt good working all day there, for few days actually. People that work there are awesome, pretty good coffee/chai latte/caramel macchiato and they also had gluten-free option (only the bread for sandwiches but they have plenty of choice and the one I had was delicious). I recommend 100%

Hadn’t been to the bagel cafe in years. Now gluten free + many other allergies. Servers were able to help me navigate the menu for what I could safely eat. Service was excellent, food was amazing & the restaurant still has that rustic charm’

Couldn’t eat much due to my dietary restrictions (allergies to fish & nuts, gluten free) but server was very knowledgeable about safe options. I usually inwardly groan about ordering salad but it was the best salad I think I’ve eaten in my life

Pizza is awesome! The kids' kitty cat and dog shaped pizza is fun. The personal size pizza is plentiful and the gluten free garlic sticks are amazing.

Although not advertised, and probably tough to accomodate on a busier night, the staff worked with me to meet my dietary needs! I appreciate their hard work. If you are gluten free or have other food allergies, would recommend giving it a try. Pretty hipster for the locale, but typical new age brew pub feel. I managed to get pan fried cod and it was fantastic!

Love this place so much! So cozy, great food, gluten-free options, and reasonable prices. I love Grandma Liu's Vegan Curry and the Smash Burger. The creme brulee and pavlova are some of my favourite desserts. Great place to go on a Saturday night with friends. If you're in Carbonear, you must check it out!
