Always fantastic food and friendly service! Online stuff needs work though - online ordering perpetually says "coming soon" and the website menu is often out of date. But I'll give them a pass for that because the ability to go to a restaurant as a celiac and safely order anything I want off the menu is so fantastically wonderful I can't take a star off for such a small oversight.
This cafe features a small street-side patio perfect for people watching and an interior with reclaimed wood furniture and repurposed burlap upholstery, creating a warm, west coast atmosphere. The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating to gluten-free needs, ensuring a comfortable dining experience.

Stopped by because of the claim of having gluten free breakfast ood items.
We were there right when they opened, one of 2 tables and then boom the place was packed with customers. And we could see why: Excellent tasting food and we found the portion size was just right- my partner is a big eater and he was pleasantly stuffed. You do pay a bit more but the food was of excellent quality and prepared very well.
Coffee was done expertly.
It is cafeteria style- go to the counter to put in your order and then your food is quickly delivered to your table.
The place has a great vibe: reclaimed wood furniture, repurchased burlap coffee bags as upholstery and local artist art on the wall. Very inviting: small patio outside the Cafe on the street: great for people watching.
Definitely will return if we are in the area again. My partner couldn't stop raving about the place when we discussed our experience to the friends we were visiting.

Out of the three places I’ve tried in Nanaimo this might be my favorite Nanaimo bar. It’s thinner, which means each bite had more balanced ratio of chocolate, cream, and crust. The crust has a nice mix of nuts and is perfectly crunchy (I believe it’s gluten free). The cream layer is not too sweet and overpowering either. Overall a delightful treat with iced coffee! My companion had a bagel sandwich which was delicious as well. Loved this cute little cafe.
This intimate spot is a long-standing local favorite known for its attentive, informed staff who handle gluten-free needs with grace. The lively atmosphere and welcoming environment make it an excellent choice for those seeking many gluten-free options and accommodating service.

Everytime I tried to come here, I couldn't. I didn't know you had to book a reservation at first, then I couldn't book a reservation ahead of time enough, then it happened. I thought, "maybe this time", and found the reservation site and there was an opening right when we wanted to be there on the same day (today!).
We sat down, they served tea right away and then we had the gluten talk. I am still nervous about this being the new allergy that it is but the server handled it with grace and kindness.
There were still many things that could be made gluten free. We got the aburi raft, substituted the unagi for saba and wow.
I can see why Nori has been a long standing local favourite and why you need a reservation.
