Fave gluten free bakery in Kits. The turkey & cheese croissant is a favorite. Alongside their paninis and sweet baked goods. I enjoy stopping here for takeout to bring to the beach for a morning breakfast or late lunch.

Lots of options for celiacs

Ordered a few gluten free cakes from vegan bakery Edible Flours. - Green velvet ($60.00 for 6" GF) - best of the three. Decent matcha flavour - Raspalicious ($60.00 for 6" GF) - texture lacking, mute flavour. Wanted more raspberry - S'mores ($60.00 for 6" GF) - bland EF's cakes are nowhere close to the quality of the other, better GF bakeries in town.

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu. I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile. The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you. This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of 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 😊

A lot of gluten free options, pricey but the food is very solid. Waitress was kind and the vibe was lovely!

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.

Easily the top ice cream in Vancouver! All the flavors are so good and their waffle cones are truly the best I have ever had! The lines always move super quickly and staff are super sweet. This time around had the seasonal almond + sour cherry and brookie dough, which was actually from May’s menu. The brookie dough was UNREAL and it was also gluten free as well which is great that they were considerate of that. Couldn’t recommend enough!

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too. I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city! But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

Really friendly service. Great atmosphere. Great location. Great gluten free options. Good vegetarian food. It is on the pricey side- that would be my only negative. Think Steak prices for a mushroom dish. I would go again.

Maenam used to be my favourite spots pre-covid. There food was delicious, like no other, and they gave good portions sizes. Even pre-covid this place was not cheap, but the price you paid matched the quality of service and food, so it didn't matter. This time, such a disappointment. Me and a friend came by to celebrate my belated birthday dinner a few weeks ago, and it was such a let down, that I'm writing this review a few weeks later. Cost was $130.00 CAD for 1 Soup, 1 appetizer, 2 entrées and rice. The soup was good, the meatball appetizer definitely NOT WORTH IT. The entrées were TINY, FLAVORLESS, and DRY. Could have basically just been an appetizer. We ordered: Squid, and stir-fried beef. In addition, before they used to make the Pad-Thai gluten-free and now they don't, only offering the vegan version. Why would I pay $26 for Pad Thai that has no meat? Not worth the price for the amount of food and quality we received. Maenam, you've lost a loyal customer.

Beware when ordering the rice noodles, if you are ordering because they are gluten free. On two occasions in the last 6 weeks, I ended up with regular noodles, even though the order slip clearly shows that I ordered rice noodles (GF). As someone that eats gf due to an intolerance, this is not ok.

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!

The staff at W. BROADWAY consistently screw up orders that endanger people with celiac health allergies. What’s the point of offering gluten free buns when almost every single time we order gluten free, we almost always get buns with gluten that make my partner unwell?! This is a MAJOR health concern for someone who is seriously celiac and accidentally eats gluten due to Tera staff’s carelessness. Not only can they not eat the food, but we just wasted a good amount of money only for them to go hungry. Not only that, but when we walked in to pick up our order tonight, the person behind the counter was on her phone and didn’t even turn around until I cleared my throat. Two stars for good menu, minus two stars for consistently screwing up the gluten-free orders, minus one star for slow and poor service.

Lots of gluten free choices and beautiful food

So lovely to find some delicious gluten free options!! Only two options when we arrived, 45 min prior to close on Saturday.
