Visiting from Sydney and we thought we would have our Friday night here. We had an awesome night… great service. There’s heaps of gluten free options Thanks Tyson
A café that really surprised us—in a good way.
Right from the start, it felt different. Thoughtful touches were everywhere, from the layout to the little details. You could tell someone actually cared.
Service was warm and efficient. We were greeted straight away and made to feel welcome. Before we even ordered, it was clear this place runs with heart.
The gluten-free menu was done well. It wasn’t just a token option—there were plenty of choices, and each one was marked clearly with a small flag.
One detail that stood out: all the women at our table were served first. It was a simple gesture, but it said a lot about the care behind the scenes.
The food was spot on. The hash brown was house-made and crisp—not the frozen kind. Pancakes (gluten-free) were a hit, and the bacon and egg roll was packed and cooked just right.
We all had different egg requests—some runny, some not—and they nailed every one without issue.
It’s the small things too: a bite-sized brownie with each coffee, a quiet green courtyard, and tidy, unfussy decor.
Only minor note: the cappuccinos were a bit heavy on the chocolate, almost like a mocha. Nothing major, just a personal taste.
To the team—kitchen, floor staff, and whoever’s behind it all—thank you
Breakfast was amazing! Liberty was super friendly and attentive especially when we needed to order a gluten and dairy free meal for our toddler. Would happily come back again.
I love the burgers at this place. Fast service. Good food. Easy ordering. Gluten free bun options available. Staff member Stephanie was very attentive and friendly. We will be back for more burgers. I recommend the Big Boppa burger. 10/10
Donuts are amazing. It was so good to be able to get these for teenager recently diagnosed with coeliac disease. Wish there was something like this where we live.
Visiting from Sydney and needed somewhere to have breakfast that had gluten free options. The staff were fantastic with my dietary requirements (coeliac) and were able to make a breakfast option that I could safely eat. Highly recommend.
We had our staff Christmas party in the private room upstairs, and it was fantastic! The Christmas meal provided was delicious, and they did an excellent job catering for several gluten free guests. We also loved that we could play our own music over the built in speakers, and that there is a private bar in the room too
Very busy. Asked for 1 slice of gluten free bread got 2 toasted slices. Not sure what they put on it - certainly wasn't butter.
Had asked about what was in the pumpkin soup and was not told about the cream they decorated it with.
Waited for ages to have glasses and water on table. When I asked a waitress she told me to get my own from the fridge!
They were reasonably fast in serving food and it was hot when we got it. Soup tasted nice as well.
Another time I got a chicken, feta and strawberry salad. Very delicious. Wish it was on their main menu. Huge serving of salad. Yum
Such a beautiful restaurant. Had a lunch passing through town. The food was delicious, price amazing and the staff very friendly. Was really nice to hear laughter from coming out the kitchen, which means the staff enjoy being there. So did my partner and myself. Total plus was our food was gluten free. Perfect. Thank you guys for the pleasant experience. Will drop in on the way back home.
Lavish Coffee and Cuisine in the Woolies Riverside Plaza have Gluten Free Options for most meals on the menu. I observed staff changing gloves and using baking paper as a barrier to make my GF toasted sandwich when I asked for it to be made as safe as possible to avoid cross contamination. Thank you for the care taken and the friendly atmosphere.
Sunday night my husband and I and a few of his mates from the cricket team went in for dinner as we had just arrived from Sydney, the tall lady behind the counter at the restaurant was so helpful, one of my husbands friends is Coeliac and when he mentioned this to the girl, she was so understanding and made sure that everyone in the kitchen was aware in order to prevent cross contamination, she was also just extremely polite and accommodating, so we went back again last night (Monday) and my husband told the rest of the team and they mentioned it to the other teams and I saw most of them there last night. The two guys at the bar were lovely and the same girl behind the counter at the bistro was again fantastic- they were so busy in the kitchen and she kept a smile on her face the whole time! The woman and men who were cooking in the kitchen did a fantastic job to keep up with all the orders and even though there was a sign about an extended wait time and the lady at the counter let us know, we really didn’t wait that long. Hats off to all staff at the Commercial Sunday and Monday night, we will be back every night we are in town and most definitely when we come back through here. The Commercial has certainly had a facelift and personnel improvement since the last time we were here (a few years ago).
This is a fabulous cafe - great coffee, fantastic food, good service, reasonable prices and a great building and courtyard garden. We ate the banana bread and the pumpkin salad with extra chicken. The owner and chef are both coeliac so they really look after GF people. An absolute must if you’re passing through Dubbo.
Outstanding customer service!! Terry, you made my day. Incredible gluten free options. Food is delicious. When you’re in Dubbo, do yourself a favour and visit this place.

We had a great lunch here! There is a great variety of options, including several gluten free and vegetarian options, and the prices are really reasonable
Nice little shop with lots of food choices including plenty of cakes. I was particularly impressed with their good range of Gluten free cake options.
I have a Bahn Mi style chicken roll with chilli which was fantastic. Admittedly the roll could have been a little crisper but none the less tasted great. Prices were reasonable.
Went for dinner last night, my daughter has coeliac disease which we informed the proprietor. No trouble she said!
My daughter was up all night vomiting so obviously the proprietor misinformed us.
Please be careful if you dine here!!!
They don't realise how badly this affects people.
If you advertise gluten free make sure it is gluten free!!
A fantastic little cafe for a cuppa and a snack! They mostly do takeaways, but have a few tables and chairs, plus plenty of stools to sit while you wait.
I especially loved that they actually have the complete ingredients lists on their allergy friendly foods, not just general gluten free or dairy free indications. It made it so much easier to choose something I could safely eat. They were also very knowledgeable about the ingredients of the breads and products they use to make their meals!
The staff were very friendly and so helpful!
An 8 hour drive to Dubbo for a zoo visit and decided this looked good. Loved the vibe and bar service. Went to order dinner and needed to check Gluten Free Options. Asked about the risotto and the hostess went to find out. After a visit to the pantry I was advised the stock had glucose so the risotto wasn't GF. We worked through that issue and I was asked if I'd like to have the Garlick PaddleBread swapped out for the foccacia which was GF so my partner could have some. The server bought the entree to the table while I was away and when my partner asked if it was GF the server replied yes
When we werr 3/4 of the way through the entrees kitchen staff came and told us it wasn't GF
So now my partner faces a day of stomach cramps and gas while we look at the zoo but it could.have been so much worse. Of she was coeliac who knows how it wpuld have ended up
There is no excuse for food providers not having a clear understanding of food allergies
Mains weren't bad
My partner enjoyed the risotto
I had the Greek board. Just a note the skewers have one piece of lamb on each and the Greek salad is drowned in some white dressing
Fantastic Cafe for breakfast, so mush so, went back the next day.
Staff are efficient, friendly and helpful.
Plenty of GF options for those that need them (wife is coeliac) and they know the importance of it.
Could not fault the food, tried different dishes each day and all were 1st class. Coffee was great, Pineapple juice refreshing but the winner was the smashed Breakfast and a Mango smoothy.
I regularly order a gluten free, dairy free, egg free brownie platter from here for work functions as my team mates have multiple allergies.
Every member of staff loves this brownie, and it's now a regular request for birthdays.
Should have taken a photo today, but it didn't last long enough.
Brilliant Gluten free Acai bowls and amazing coffee - I went the "Health Nut" bowl. The staff are absolutely lovely too. I will be back on my next visit to Dubbo!
The area upstairs is great for dinner out, delicious food and reasonable prices. They have a good range of meals and desserts, including gluten free options. There is a lift to get upstairs, go around to behind the bar area when you walk in.
We had our staff Christmas party in the new function room and it's a great space! The food was delicious and the staff were all friendly and professional.
Celiac friendly
