Was a bit chilly. Good night out with family. Food was good and reasonably priced. Gluten Free options not indicated on paper menu at the table, only via viewing the on-line menu so had to reference that via phone. Shouldn’t have to pay extra for Gluten Free items.
Had breakfast here with my family.. I have coeliac disease.. it was delicious!!! Would definitely return back when we are in the area! Highly recommend!! A beautiful atmosphere aswell! 👌
A very cosy cafe with a delicious burst of flavour! Loved the haloumi stack and the veggie stack. The dandelion latte was so unique too. A heap of gluten free options in the cabinet and on the menu. We'll definitely be back to try some more of the range ❤️
Can I give this place 100 stars??? The food is spectacular. Tasty and authentic... not your generic Thai place. Everything is homemade and it shows. They were easily able to accommodate a gluten allergy. If I weren't leaving Gold Coast tomorrow, I'd be eating there again and again.
Great burgers, I've been told these are the best gluten free burgers too. Friendly staff, good price great value. The ingredients of the burgers always feel fresh. It feels like you are eating a healthy meal... Highly recommended
We attend yesterday and we have two very sensitive coeliacs in our family. The chips are Gluten Free and the kids love eating them.
Smoothies and drinks amazing. Staff super friendly great smiles and good sense of humor. We are definitely going back while we are on holiday.
Food choices bit average and not really catered for the gluten our mate had literally nothing to eat as no steak no salad no nothing it’s not a choice he had he gets very sick. We went past again yesterday but skipped eating in here which is a shame
Absolutely love the Coca Bar!!
The food is amazing, with plenty of gluten free options available.
They have the best coffee on the Sunshine Coast and the staff are awesome!
I love this place. Plenty of places around to get a coffee, but this is undoubtedly the best. Great selection of cakes too, many of them gluten free. Yummy food as well
Bought two pizzas through Uber eats, but forgot to tick the gluten free box. I called straight away and the man that took my order made sure they were gluten free, for no surcharge. Will definitely order again. Delicious gluten free bases as well
Food was a long wait but appreciated being told that when we placed our order.
Meals were tasty but on the small side - parmi just came with chips, you would usually expect some salad on the plate.
Beware the half chicken meal. I chose this as 1 of the few gluten free options the sauce on the chicken is very hot!
My other negative was the cigarette smoke that wafted over during our time there, this did not make the overall very enjoyable.
Always a great meal here with super friendly service and the best Coffee. The only reason I did 4 stars on the food is I would love a gluten free bun for the burger but always well prepared according to dietary requirements. Highly recommend this little Cafe 👌
What a lovely spot for a coffee with a restful view over the marina! Nice coffee and friendly service Plenty of parking across the road, appears wheelchair accessible. Most meals have gluten free options.
An imaginative name and a very popular café by the number of people we saw when we dropped in during the week.
As their hours are from eight o’çlock in the morning to two or two-thirty in the afternoon they only serve breakfast, lunch and snacks.
The café appears to be noted for its gluten-free foods for which, I guess, you need to make a specific request if gluten is a problem for you.
We ordered a cup of coffee and sandwiches. The coffee was very pleasant, the sandwiches very fresh, and the service very friendly.
Had the most amazing service at Columbus Coffee, Beerwah.
With a Gluten & Dairy intolerance, both staff members went out of their way to make sure the kitchen staff received the order correctly, super friendly and helpful, food was fantastic, thank you so much.
The best coffee, ever. Coffee before work is a daily highlight, whether it be an iced or hot cup, its always smooth & delicious. We love our morning chats with the guys, listening to the tunes pump while we wait. To top it off, the food is also top notch, and so accommodating, was very excited to find many gluten free options.
Love love this place. Located in the Chatswood Shopping centre with entrance straight from the top carpark. Great food. Great coffee I've been a few times now and have been able to get a seat. I ordered vegan/ gluten free.
Casual indoor and outdoor dining with a good general menu. Staff seemed to understand my strict dietary requirements (coeliac needing gluten-free). Keto and Vegetarian also listed.
I had a great first experience at Mecca Bah, so we decided to have my friend's birthday dinner at this place. One of the worst decisions I've made since disappointing doesn't even cover what happened there.
We had to wait 20 minutes just to be served, and a further 30 to 40 minutes for the food to arrive when the place wasn't even busy. There was a waitress who basically ignored us while the other waitress was hurrying around and apologetic about our wait.
Worse still, the food was absolutely terrible this time round. Gone was the tender and juicy lamb skewers. What arrived was basically lumps of tough and chewy jerky with some burnt bits. The rustic smashed potatoes were more like undercooked boiled potatoes, which was extremely disappointing (see photo).
We also ordered a gluten-free lamb roast pizza for a coeliac friend and emphasised on the coeliac bit. The previous time, the pizza was amazing even with the gluten free base, chock full of delicious lamb, rocket and sauce (see photo attached). This time, the pizza base was basically a chunk of undercooked play dough, and there were so little toppings I was wondering how it even got sent out of the kitchen. All we got was less than a handful of lamb (see photo) and cheese. No rocket, no sauce. On hindsight, we should have sent it back instead of continuing to eat but we were starving after the 1 hour wait for the food. The worst part of this was that the food was not handled properly, and our coeliac friend had an extremely bad reaction to the food, which did not happen during our first experience. It's ridiculous that we paid extra for gluten free but it was not actually gluten free.
When we provided this feedback to the staff, the waitress was extremely apologetic and said that it was because they were training new staff. I don't know what happened there because it seemed like no one cared enough to check the food that got sent out since we got terrible food. I was surprised that the restaurant didn't even bother doing a quality check considering the price of the items on the menu.
Waitress then grabbed the manager when we approached her for at least a discount for the terrible experience on my friend's birthday. The manager was completely unapologetic about what occurred and after a few minutes of discussion, he agreed to remove the potatoes from our bill, probably just to get us off his back so we don't continue complaining in the earshot of other customers.
Sorry for the lack of other photos but we were starving so we didn't take many.
Overall, extremely disappointing experience. Will never come back again.
Fast friendly service. Manager went out of his way to cater to our needs. One of our party is celiac and restaurant offers gluten free options. Manager went and bought GF soy sauce for us. The food is delicious. Very authentic. Definitely have to make a visit here. You will be impressed. Servings are very generous just like the manager
Thank you to the staff.
Oh man happily stumbled on this place. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Orchid Ave. Being Gluten intolerant it's often hard to find great food with value for your money. But the search is over. Wanted something light so ordered GF corn flat bread with cheese and with refreshing pico de gallo here and results are in why go anywhere else Gluten intolerant people! Thanks La Tienda Latina for the nice surprise out of Orchid! I'll be back for more soon especially for what I call the Holiday goers go to combo $20 Rump and Chips and $7 Corona!!!
Absolutely the best Indian Northside. The lamb cutlets in the tandoor are amazing. Service is very good. Lots of gluten free choice. Superb service. Well done!!
Our family had dinner here one evening as a wee treat, absolutely fantastic selection of pizza, you order by the slice so you can always get more if you are hungry. Great selection of beers and cocktails. Gluten free is also available
Great, consistent coffee with a good range of snacks and - and a couple of gluten free options like my chocolate coated coconut cookie in the video.
It draws a “let’s catch up for coffee” crowd that varies from colleagues & networkers to local residents and their social groups.
🐶 Puppy friendly in the alfresco area.
🚗 Easy parking in the Gasworks complex
Spent the afternoon there on a Sunday. We ordered a cocktail and they were beautiful, included edible flowers. We are both gluten free and were offered gluten free options!! A must try for GF crowd ❤️
There was an open mic afternoon on, very talented performers.
