vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨
Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away.
The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat!
Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone.
Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.
Solid 5 stars!!! EVERYTHING is gluten free. The cafe is beautiful and so zen. I got a green onion & cheddar scone and was recommended the blueberry apple crumble muffin. Delicious!
Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;)
the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!
In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.
We were here from Ontario, and read that they served gluten free burgers and fries (my wife and son both have Celiac Disease). They were delicious!! Best burger and fries they've had, and my other two sons and I both loved our non gluten free burgers too. We all liked everything so much we came back a second time during our visit! Excellent and friendly service. Highly recommend!
Always a lovely evening on the patio overlooking False Creek. The food and service is great and my partner who has celiac disease never has a reaction. Thanks to Danielle and team for a great meal!
Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉
I have to eat gluten free ( not celiac) and the Dalorit dish (roasted butternut squash) was absolutely delicious in my opinion and of course, gluten free! I would highly recommend!
Celiac friendly bar. Dedicated fryer for gluten free with lots of options. Nice layouts for sports viewing in the bar area and indoor picnic table seating area. Also an indoor games corner and outdoor seating area

They had some good choices for gluten free and vegan. They deep fry the tofu so cross contamination if you go for that but otherwise safe. It's a loud environment.
We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.
Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating.
Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not.
Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊
Delicious vegetarian menu including several signature concoctions and several dishes which are also gluten free, or vegan or vegan option. Every food dish is healthy here. At least everything here is served with healthy intent. I only say this because they do serve beer and wine also.
Absolutely delicious food. Still have all of the old favorites, with some new delicious additions. Personally still enjoy their old vegetarian dishes more, but their new dishes are great as well. I have it in my rotation to have. They clearly mark the gluten free options, and the food are all flavored delicately, good for people who prefer a healthier, lighter twist of Vietnamese food. Their banhmi was delicious, definitely one of the best ive had. Not sure about authenticity but the meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the bread was great. I probably won't order it too often though because I found it to be a bit too expensive for the price - but I'll order it as a treat every once in awhile.
Seemed to have a lot of gluten friendly options and some gluten free. Waitress was really nice and was telling me which options were safe for coeliac. Food was delicious ! Long wait time to get a table (4) even on a Tuesday night
Had the BLT bagel it was stacked with bacon and great value, DELICIOUS! Loved the mayo/sauces and guac it had on it! Espresso drinks have minimal sweetness which is nice. Quite impressed with the food and drink I enjoyed here today. Also loved the gluten free options. The service was wonderful. Looking forward to summer mornings on the patio with my dogs. Will definitely be back again and again!
We had a great meal in Coast. Great fish dishes and excellent help from our server Micheal who advised on adapting dishes to be gluten friendly. Excellent service.
Unforgettable Dining Experience at Zarak – A Must-Visit!
I had the pleasure of dining at Zarak for the first time in July with a group of five people, each of us with different dietary restrictions – gluten-free, dairy-free, coconut-free, and vegetarian. While I initially felt overwhelmed by the menu, our server, Sanmeet, turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and enjoyable experience. She took the time to carefully listen to our restrictions and, in less than a minute, curated the perfect menu for us, ensuring we could enjoy our time together without worrying about what to order. Her recommendations were spot on, and the variety of cocktails was equally impressive!
From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the entire team made us feel welcome and cared for. The level of attentiveness was beyond compare. One detail that stood out to me was how the staff intuitively timed their service – they approached us only during natural pauses in our conversations, which I deeply appreciated. At one point, I needed a napkin, and just as I was about to ask, one of the staff members approached me, and it felt like they had read my mind. It’s those small details that really made the experience special.
Now, the food was incredible, but what made the evening truly unforgettable was the exceptional level of customer service. Towards the end of the night, everyone except me ordered dessert because I couldn’t find anything on the menu that was both dairy-free and coconut-free, which I was fine with. Sanmeet noticed and immediately went above and beyond to accommodate me. Within minutes, she brought out a delicious pistachio gelato, which had no gluten, coconut, or dairy – and it was on the house! That thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about her dedication to making sure everyone had a wonderful time.
What’s even more impressive is that when my partner and I returned to Zarak a month and a half later for drinks and dinner, Sanmeet remembered us. The genuine smile on her face when I greeted her by name made it clear that this restaurant isn’t just about serving great food – it’s about creating lasting relationships with their guests.
Sanmeet’s warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for her guests left an incredible impression on me, and I’ve been raving about Zarak to everyone I know. If you ever visit, I highly recommend asking for her – she truly made our dining experience unforgettable. I look forward to returning again and again!
Great spot for breakfast. Portions are massive! The food was good and Susan’s service was excellent! One thing to note is there are no gluten free hashbrowns or potatoes. Sad times for me.
The GF bagel, brownie, and bread was delicious. They have regular and oat milk options for the lattes. I had a dirty chai with oat and loved it. The regular sourdough for the salmon toast was delicious. Highly recommended for anyone with celiac.
We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious
I would go back in a heartbeat.

Service may improve though seemed to be shorthanded on a Sunday evening.
Food was good, fish and chips (rice flour batter is an excellent solution for gluten issues).
We loved out brunch there, the staff is fantastic and the atmosphere chic & cosy. The eggs Benedict with salmon were accompanied with delicious stacked potatoes and the generous avocado toast had a gluten-free bread option. It was presented scrambled with shredded cheese and a poached egg, I really enjoyed it as well as the mimosa with what felt like real oranges. The prices were very reasonable for that kind of place, in fact we paid as much in more "laid back" cafes, maybe because it's brunch but the service & food quality would definitely be worth a dinner too.
They make a Gluten Free crust and it is near impossible to tell apart from real pizza crust! Also, the happy hour offers are awesome!
This is my new favorite neighborhood pizza place now!
I added olives, and I'd do it again! Delicious.
This restaurant is AMAZING !! We ordered the nachos and several tacos. Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. My husband and I both have allergies, gluten & egg, and the Manager, Chris, came out to talk with us in regard to our allergies to make sure the dishes we ordered wouldn't be of concern. Thanks so much! 10/10!
I came here with some friends for lunch. I ordered the Teriyaki Bowl and the Sweet Potato Fries. They have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, which is nice. I enjoyed my meal, the teriyaki bowl was flavourful and the rice in it was soft but not mushy. I also liked how the fries were crispy and well seasoned. Our server didn’t really check in on us after the food arrived and we had to ask for our water and drinks to be refilled. Other than that, our food came out within a reasonable time and it was a pretty good experience overall.
Great Smoked Salmon Benedict for brunch. The coffee wasn't the best but they were able to accommodate gluten-free options. Substitute bread for more potatoes but they can't guarantee cross contamination it seemed like so if you are severely celiac just consider that.
Purchased 3 meals, all three meals were absolutely fantastic! One was also gluten free and cannot fault its price and quantity.
The service by a young male was terrific! Very well spoken and delivered an amazing service on phone and in person!
Whilst waiting on meals, drinks were delivered without even asking and was very polite throughout the whole process.
Also credits to the chef and the team, would definitely go back in a heartbeat!
First meal in Vancouver coming over from Australia and was absolutely mouth watering!
I’ve been wanting to try Lila since I found out about it opening and I finally did. I love that it has a modern twist on Indian food with a number of dishes being vegan/gluten free or having a vegan option available. As someone who has been dairy free for over a year, I often find it difficult when I there’s no dairy free or vegan options available (and Indian food is one of my favourite cuisines).
The restaurant itself is small so I would recommend making a reservation especially when heading into the evening dinner hours. They have super cute but small patio upfront and also a back yard too with some tables (didn’t get to see this).
Service was wonderful. The staff were quite friendly which was amazing. I will definitely be back here.
Great (all-day everyday) brunch spot with a nice, dog-friendly patio!
Been a few times and love their vegan breakfast! The vegan eggs are seriously good. It's nice that they cater to a range of dietary preferences/restrictions (vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free).

We sat at the chef’s table and ordered the chef’s tasting menu and it was a delight! Perfect amount for 2 people, it’s a wonderful journey through some of the best dishes they have to offer. Everything is vegan, and can be made gluten free upon request.
Lovely staff, beautiful place, and you pay for what you get for and you wanna get on this Folke train, trust me!
Wow! I brought my 13 yr old out to breakfast, and found this cute little coffee, café, bistro? Kranky's has a little of everything, and it is mostly made there, fresh! The owner and waitstaff were super friendly, kind(helped us find a tasty choice for me(I have Celiac), and had a joyful small-talk conversation with our daughter about her choices on a future pet :)
Thank you, Cat, Hope? and ummm, dagnabit! The owner!! I know, I know her name, it is just out of my reach right now.
Love this new healthy spot close to home.
Had the chick pea gluten free wrap it was great and didn’t fall apart like most gluten free items. Highly recommend!!
The labeling of their menu is completely wrong! And has been for at least the past 2 years. If you are vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free (or have any dietary restrictions), avoid!
One time, the server did acknowledge that labeling is wrong and brought an "updated" menu with stickers to cover some of the errors but even those were inaccurate or missed a lot of v/vg/gf options.
I think that the inconvenience to fix the menu labelling is totally worth it to create a more pleasant dining experience (especially since a lot of Vancouverites have specialty diets).
Hope to see some changes soon!
Food was phenomenal they even accommodated for my gluten allergy. Adam had impeccable service. Fernanda and Noor were also a huge help! Filling up out waters n such! Great place to eat! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 10/10

This place was so delicious! I’m celiac, and one of the owners went through the whole menu with me to identify gluten free options. Really cute vibe in this family owned diner!
I had the shakshuka and Turkish coffee - both were delicious. They pay great attention to detail, have great servers and the general vibe there is excellent. Sitting by the window is also prime people watching. There are gluten free options
There was pistachio cheesecake and the sign said “gluten free” (it was the only item that stated it was GF) We asked the employee if it was gluten free and he said “I don’t know”
