The coffee is good, service is great, and the pastries are good. However, gluten-free items are not on the top of the pastry cabinet, where they should be, to be properly labelled. There needs to be more strict standards for where they keep these items, especially for celiacs. Otherwise, don't bother calling it gluten-free.
We really enjoyed our meal here from the food to the atmosphere to the service. At first, we were disappointed with the menu since they have limited gluten-free options. It would be so easy for them to get a good quality vegan/gluten-free bread – – perhaps from”Food in the Nud” nearby — and be able to offer a gluten-free option for the sandwich and tomato soup combo and the veggie burger combo, both items that we hoped to try.
We ended up very happy with our selection, however, and shared the gluten-free pancakes, which were Matcha/lemon/blueberry and the vegan omelette. Both had incredible flavor profiles, were cooked to perfection, and you could tell they were made with quality ingredients. We are so grateful to have found this restaurant during our visit to Edmonton.

Everything great. But if you are celiac, you need to determine if the risk is worth it. I got contaminated but maybe not everyone is as sensitive as myself. Tasted great, but for me, I cannot tolerate any gluten.
Ordered delivery through Uber. Gluten free (popular according to the restaurant), Margherita. The crust was soggy and a really strange consistency. Toppings slid off because of the weird plastic like crust. Cheese was also strange, like it was fake. To top it off, there was a hair baked into the crust. I get those things can happen but on top of the terrible, tasteless pizza it was pretty disappointing.
Went there on a first date last year and again as we were both getting hangry. The difference in the 2 visits is I've become gluten sensitive so we weren't sure how or what I could eat. But all thr pizzas and Flatbread had a gf option which was great. We got the smoked Mozzarella wrapped and Prosciutto which was great! Then this spicy Italian sausage pizza on the gf crust and it was delicious. With limited places and choices I will be going back!
I went to this restaurant for the first time for a work lunch meeting with a group of coworkers. I am always nervous to eat somewhere new as I am celiac. But to my HAPPY surprise, the menu was clearly labeled with so many options for gluten free! The server was also knowledgeable about giving me a gluten free experience. The chips and guacamole that first came to the table were fried with a safe fryer and not shared with gluten items. I ended up having chicken tacos with a side of shrimp. It was delicious! I will definitely be going back to this restaurant. I didn’t feel limited and I did not get sick afterwards. Celiac approved!
The best ever! Im celiac and its such a struggle finding restaurants with good food that fit my dietary restrictions, and AUM cafe hits ALL the marks! I highly recommend their butter chicken with rice! All their curries are gluten free i believe and they all taste great! They have cakes and loaves that are GF as well! The staff here are amazing, they all treat you so kindly and love to interact with their customers, its so refreshing to see especially in this day and age. I love this place and I'll always come back to them when im in need of a meal! Wish they were open longer!!!
The staff are helpful and kind (and also always have amazing sense of style), the neighbourhood is cute, great place to stop for an iced coffee or lunch with a friend.
Some gluten free options are available.
Being gluten free can sometimes be stressful confusion and frustrating but I must say with the service of Mya having my intolerance felt like nothing. Her service was timely efficient and always given with a wonderful smile.
How awesome to be able to go back to Rooster today after the "Covid break"! Staff was warm, welcoming and efficient as always. Food is always delicious and filling for very reasonable prices. They offer early bird breakfast deals as well as burger deals later in the day. They have a variety of breakfast dishes - my favourite includes gluten-free French Toast while my husband prefers the Brisket Bowl. Rooster burgers and sides are unique and scrumptious! Try it out - you won't be disappointed by this Whyte Avenue gem!
We always have a pleasant experience at Original Joe's. The food is good. Our kids are welcome. The prices are reasonable. The service is great. Dig the burgers and that dill dip for the fries..kids options are decent. My only ask would be more gluten free options. A dedicated fryer for gf items would attract a lot more people and give us more options for our celiac daughter. Even my parents, one is vegan and one is rather picky, both enjoyed their meals and want to come back and that never happens.
Got gluten friendly chicken here and it was so flavorful and crispy! The owners are super friendly and too time to tell us about the different flavors :)
Our first time, and it was nice. We popped in for a pre-game cocktail & snack. We were greeted warmly and shown to a table by the wall. Our server was lovely and helped us choose the perfect cocktails. She also was very aware of the gluten free options etc.. We did find the music a bit loud (Though we are two ancient over 40 year olds ha), but I could see how the younger crowd would love this place, and we will come back too. I'd recommend the Korean popcorn chicken, delicious!
Delicious mexican food and even better margaritas! This is a great place to hit up before going out downtown!
The vibe is super cool! I really liked it! The green enchiladas were absolutely amazing!
Lots of gluten free options!
This is my new favourite restaurant. Every single dish i try here is genuinely the best version of that dish I have ever tried. Not exaggerating. I would expect this kind of quality from a much more expensive restaurant, but this is fine dining level food with prices that are super reasonable. Plus the portion sizes are huge! Im also a celiac (severe gluten allergy) and this place has lots of GF options and have been very accommodating and knowledgeable every time ive visited. Cannot recommend this place more highly. Friendly service too! Even if the service was bad I would come back every time for the food lol it's that good.
Such a cozy pizzeria!
The atmosphere is incredible, all the workers are friendly and seem to enjoy the team they are apart of!
The owner came over just to ask us how everything was.
We only had 2 cheese pizzas... so far!! One on regular dough and one on cauliflower dough.
Not kidding the cauliflower dough is INCREDIBLE! I have mild gluten intolerance and I felt so good after eating it. We can't wait to come again and try more tasty items!
A Hidden Gem in Edmonton!
Three Vikings is truly one of Edmonton’s best-kept secrets. This family-owned, local spot delivers everything you could want in a great dining experience. The food is absolutely fantastic—everything is made from scratch, and you can taste the care and quality in every bite. Even better, the prices are incredibly reasonable, especially considering the homemade quality of the dishes. They have vegetarian and gluten-free items on the menu as well.
The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of eclectic—it's the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. Whether you're grabbing a casual meal or meeting up with friends, Three Vikings is the perfect spot. Support local and do yourself a favour—check this place out!
Wonderful service, and great cocktails! Our server took the time to give us helpful tips as well, and were great for allergy awareness (gluten/peanuts/etc). The portions were on the smaller side for "sharables" but overall was a good experience.
My 9 year old daughter has celiac disease and a lot of worry about getting sick. the servers are always so kind. They make extra little efforts to reassure her that mean a whole lot to my daughter.(clean the table in front of her, reassure her the GF crust is actually what came out, and last night offered to have a kitchen staff member come and tell her how they made her pizza if she needed). She has never gotten sick at this restaurant but recently did at a different pizza place so it’s a big worry for her. It’s so nice as a busy mom to be able to go out for dinner somewhere she feels safe!!!! Great customer service.
I have been here several times - we drop in since it is convieniently located in our neighbourhood. I wanted to love this place. The renovation and interior design is beautiful abut I am disappointed with the service (sometimes) and allergy food selections (dairy and gluten). One time I came to meet a friend for coffee and despite the restaurant being practically empty two employees gawked and whispered while looking at us. I asked if they closed between lunch and dinner to make sure we were not keeping over staying, they said no, so we continued our conversation and coffees. At first I thought perhaps this was a misunderstanding or one time thing but my friends and I have had similar experiences when we drop in for coffee and do not order food. I noticed when we go to order drinks and food the service is significantly better. The lack of options for people with dietary restrictions is also disappointing. Overall, it is not as friendly, charming, and accommodating as Blackbird Cafe which we loved. To be fair we have had a couple nice waitresses and the drinks are good but the negative experiences have left a sour impression.
We went here for my mom's birthday as she loves Rockabilly culture and were pleasantly surprised about not only how fun it was, but delicious!
They have a lot of traditional Hawaiian spam dishes, great craft cocktails, and gluten free options!
I had their orchid cocktail and it was so delicious 🍸. For my entree I had the gluten free macaroni with squash cheese sauce and it was SO good!
I would definitely go back. Inside tip - ask about the secret $7 menu!
I highly recommend Saffron! The food was absolutely amazing and they had gluten friendly and dairy free options. . The staff were super friendly and helpful as well.
I had some catering done for a student group event at the University of Alberta and CPU did a perfect job! The process to order the pizzas was simple and the owner was very accommodating! Pizzas were massive, a wide variety of topping options, and the students loved it. Bonus is that their pizzas are all halal and have gluten/vegetarian/vegan options as well. Definitely recommend this place and I look forward to ordering more from this place for my student group as well as for myself 🤗🤗
Food was mediocre, service is terrible. Even though our waitress was lovely, management is garbage. The waitress felt really bad and embarrassed.
What I ordered:
1. Escargot: it was good, but nothing amazing… it was an average garlic butter. Probably the tiniest escargot I’ve ever had. It comes with a side or bread… I’m celiac and the waitress offered to replace for GF bread. They gave me a slice of toast and then they charged me $5 for it, without any notice. Yes, $5 for a slice of thin toast, I’m pretty sure it was the PC brand one that I buy a Superstore.
2. French onion soup, small size. Tasted good, again nothing mind blowing. But beware, this is not a small size, it is a miniature size. The bowl is probably 2 inches in diameter.
3. Deviled egg, which they forgot about and I had to re-order. It is not a deviled egg, it’s HALF an egg. This was terrible, very salty and very dry.
3. Dark chocolate crème brûlée: they are quite small, about an inch wide in diameter and it didn’t taste like a crème brûlée at all, just a plain custard.
- if you want a lime wedge for your water they charge 50 cents. They also have a policy of no phone-calls.
I wouldn’t recommend this place. It was tiny and cramped, also hot in there. Parking sucks and the food is not worth the hazle nor the arrogance of this place. Will not go back.
There are so many other tapas-style places were the food is much superior, like Bodega for instance. For French food, even The Creperie is better.
First time visiting today, and I was so happy we did. Staff were all really nice.
Coffee was amazing - I had an iced strawberry latte (seasonal offering), and my husband had a latte.
I also had a gluten-free dessert, I believe it was called a Match-O. Oh my lord, it was good. Couldn't believe it was gluten-free.
There's a lot of seating inside the cafe, but there's also outside seating on the patio. I like the patio seating, and you can still hear the cafe playlist outside. The music was nice, loud enough to hear but quiet enough to carry on a conversation. They also played Tame Impala, nough' said 😎
One of the staff who works in the kitchen was so nice and chatted with us about the food made there. She also cleared our cups and plate.
There is some street parking that's free, which is added bonus.
I want to visit again, especially with summer around the corner, and chill on the patio with some awesome coffee.
I ordered a pizza that was on a post last week but didn't know there was different crust as I like tge gluten free taste even when I'm don't have gluten intolerance, today I ordered the same and the girl that helped me ordered a keto crust, when I saw it looked different but I tried it and it tasted different, I went back and spoke to the other person was there, it looked like he was the manager and he was so kind and understood my situation and made a new one for me, that's what I call a great customer service, my favorite place from now on for pizza, their crust tasted delicios either sesame seeds and the tomato paste it is delicious and the right sweetness for the combination with the other salty toppings, thank so much red swan who ever helped me, didn't have the time to ask for his name as I was starving.
Always fantastic service. Amazing drink menu and food never disappoints. A hidden gem. I have Celiac (gluten free) and they always take care with my food. Highly recommend
Super friendly local place, reasonable prices and fresh food. Gluten Free options are tasty and actually affordable ($0.65 upcharge for GF toast, not $3 LOL) Love this place. Great story behind it as well.
Fantastic burgers! Absolutely delicious. The lady manning the till is a great rep for the restaurant, helpful, friendly and has excellent suggestions. Lots of gluten free options( the gluten free bun is actually really good! ) . I hope they carry wine soon. They are working on getting their pizza oven up and running, that will be lovely! It will be better when the tvs are up, you could then stay and watch a baseball, football or hockey game. I will definitely be back!!
Not just the best Indian food in Edmonton, the best food in Edmonton hands down. This place is INCREDIBLE. The food is unbelievable, the prices and portions are great, and so much of what they offer is gluten free. The paneer fritters will blow your socks off. I promise. I love this place. AND the staff are so kind and lovely! They also gave us free chana masala. 100/10
Wonderful restaurant and cafe that's got options for Gluten Free food and pastries. The decor and vibe is lovely, I highly recommend sitting down for a meal here.
I only really care about ambience and quality espresso coffee. Great European feel, and the best espresso I’ve had visiting Edmonton. I’ve been at least every second day while I’m here. I don’t eat sugar or gluten so haven’t eaten anything here.
The AC is set too cold. So I recommend taking your visit outdoors to their patio.
I found this place using Google. We were not disappointed. They converted a house into a small Cafe. There is plenty of seating outside when the weather is nice. Very reasonably priced, and they were able to accommodate my need for gluten free.
I was at the Spirit of India Kitchen recently and very happy with the food and service. They accommodated requests for gluten free and level of spiciness with
our order. Restaurant was clean, tables were big/spacious. There were even plugs on walls for charging electrical gadgets. There was ample parking in front. Will definitely visit again.
Nice quaint little place, Vishal very friendly and very accommodating to my dietary needs, being celiac. Pizza crust good and a fair amount of toppings.
