My daughter and her husband took me out for dinner last night and chose this restaurant because it was gluten free. What a win! They were featuring a concert band and we were seated in the first seat, right beside them. We thought at first that it would be too noisy, and it was! But what fun! As my daughter said,
"We get to visit all the time, but when do we get to be entertained like this?" As expected, the food was great and I didn't have to worry about being sick. It was very special, and we will be back.
An okay diner it feels kinda tight and is loud but the fact it's gluten friendly is a big plus and on top of that the food tastes absolutely amazing, which is hard without gluten. Coffee was not fun and it was super busy. Overall it's a cute place every once in awhile, though I don't think you'd want to make it a regular spot.
The Next Act is the quintessential third place. The staff is always welcoming and make you feel like you're at friend's place, not a restaurant.
And their gluten free fish and chips is a real treat for those of us with Celiac 🥰
Cannot thank Angela and the team at Banh Mi Day enough for taking on my massive catering order for my office this week. Not only was the communication incredible (including suggestions on how many platters/types of platters to order), but when the food arrived day of, it was so carefully packages and labelled to make setting it out for staff that much easier. It was a first ordering banh mi to the office and it was an absolutely hit - especially with my gluten free and halal staff. Will definitely be ordering for catering in the future, as well as continuing to stop by for a banh mi and Vietnamese iced coffee on my own time.
Always delicious and fresh, fast service. A true gem .
(Last months visit)
Today's visit. After waiting a month to return here with my family, I am very let down .
I need to amend my review from 5 stars to 2 to reflect on today's visit. I had an awful experience by Greg, the owners son. We were treated poorly and without respect at all. How embarrassing to be argued with in front of the entire café. After explaining to him about the foods quality and taste, I was treated as though I was not being truthful. I asked for a 1/2 gluten-free turkey sandwich with everything but tomatoes and lettus and a cup of soup. The food was brought out it was a whole sandwich. I mentioned that i only ordered 1/2 and then was told after it came out that "they don't do 1/2 sandwiches for gluten-free bread," and there were no sprouts. (Instead of letting me know when I ordered) I took one bite and couldn't even eat it as it was dry and the turkey meat was a large amount of dark, bruised meat and a tiny bit of white where it wouldnt even stay on the bread, in comparison to my last visit where it was the best sandwich I ever had, I was very disappointed and let down today. Also, for being charged $32 for a breakfast for my mom and sister it was cold and over priced for 3 eggs and 8 pieces of meat, cold potatoes and dry toast.
Also, none of the kitchen staff were wearing hair nets or gloves, and I witnessed one cook wipe his nose with his finger and then on his apron. 🤢
The other 2 staff members we encountered were kind and polite.
I am absolutely sad to be treated with such rudeness after I've been visiting this café for years off and on and being a paid, returning customer.
I am still in shock as to how Greg treated me today, so upset and left hungry.
Kennedy was an amazing waitress and it was an amazing experience and atmosphere. The food was amazing. I especially like it here because they have many gluten free options including gluten free buns and a separate gluten free fryer.

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.
This location at least has the gluten free bread option. Was actually really tastey, doughy gluten free bun. Way better than the subway gf bun option. Lady working there told me almost all subs can be made gf so I got the club. So far so good. I did see them take precautions in the kitchen with gloves for cross contamination but you can't see right into the whole area. I'm celiac and don't usually risk places like this but the sub was delicious and would go back again.
Friendly Staff, Amazing subs much better then the competition, so so happy they have gluten free buns and they taste good. They also have a really nice soda machine with hundreds of options.
Such a cute spot! Lots of options in the menu and they are able to cater to unique dietary options as the menu mentioned halal and gluten free options. Came for an early dinner and we thought we'd have to wait, but the food was ready almost immediately. Maxim served us and he was absolutely delightful. Very attentive and took the time to check in to make sure everything was good.
I'd recommend this spot and will return to try more sandwiches. Was skeptic about trying the duck fat fries, but they turned out so good!
Have come here a couple times and was lucky enough to be helped by a girl named AJ. Super friendly and made a great sandwich each time. The gluten free bread is great here by the way.
I stopped here for lunch today because they have a gluten free option. I ordered two 6 inch subs as the GF bread only comes in that size. I was then charged $4 for GF when it's only supposed to be $2. I brought it up to the lady and said I never pay double at any other location. She said because we are located in the mall we charge more. Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. I paid $15 for a cold cut 12 inch sub. Why are they charging double at this location? Every other Subway is the same.. But because they are at WEM they are different? Please...
This Subway location never disappoints. Everything is always fresh, the staff is friendly and they are always conscious of how they handle my gluten free sub.
