My favorite place to go every time I visit Vancouver. It’s one of the best gluten free bakeries I know (and I like to visit lots of gluten free bakeries)

In the land of sushi in Vancouver this restaurant hits at a solid okay. I say that because it advertises itself as gluten free which was the main draw for us. We made a reservation which seems like it’s mandatory. The tuna tataki, karaage and tempura we ordered was great. The gyoza was a big let down. It was made with rice paper and resembled an egg roll more but it also fell apart and came stacked on top of each other. I wouldn’t consider them gyoza. The service was okay but once the restaurant was half full it was non existent. Something that most may not care about but I noticed was we all got different plates and there were no side plates for soy sauce or other sauces. Table setting was lack luster. For gluten free it was decent but I hope they continue to work on their GF options into the future.

Gluten-free specialty store. I was very satisfied with the taste, which didn't feel like it was gluten-free. The employees are kind and it's a recommended place. Some people can also speak Korean.

I don't have any problem with gluten. This is just a great bakery.

Delicious, so many gluten free options. Sweet & Savoury

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.

Amazing little find! I had the sausage breakfast bagel it tasted like Tim Hortons ! Donuts are amazing too!

Laura Parce

Fabulous gluten-free bakery, we had baguette sandwiches, my husband is not gluten-free and he thought it was great. My rhubarb tart was delicious

Stephanie Burston

We are from North Vancouver and every time we go to Kelowna, we make a trip out to Jaide & Joel's Baking Co. Everything they sell is amazing! I am plant based and celiac and this place for me is heaven. Aside from the sweets, We particularly love the pizza crusts and cheese, jalapeño bread!

Erynne Green

Best gluten free bread I've ever had. Light, fluffy, and actually turns golden when you toast it. So delicious.

Ada S.

We came from Barcelona for a bite to eat. The food and service were excellent, attentive to everything and welcoming. A very good option for celiacs and highly recommended in general!

Morgan A.

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!

Missing Tipsy

John and June are incredible. They do wizardry level magic with baking and you never think of their stuff as “gluten free” - you just think of it as the best you’ve ever tasted.

Peter Hall

Amazing gluten free pastries and tea and coffee and selection of books and magazines. Excellent service.

Ruby Wineck

Stumbled upon this gem while on my way to the ferry… 100% gluten free menu and the most delicious fish and chips ever! I loved the house salad as well. We sat outside and the vibes were casual and very relaxing. Service was also very quick. Highly recommend!

Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏

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.

greg Mccowan

Best gluten free bread in town made by happy enthusiastic people!! The food is amazing 👏 I'm always excited to come back i strongly recommend 👌 absolutely love it 😀

Peter Longhurst

We've eaten here and had a great experience. Most recently I just dropped by to pick up some take out. Awesome for celiacs :)

Lily Clerf

Best gluten and dairy free treats I have ever tasted. The peanut butter brownie is to die for! Amazing selection and such a cute cafe. Recommend to anyone with Celiac Disease and looking for a sweet treat!!!

Sarah Desrosiers

The food: Phenomenal. The smoothies are great, the bowls are savory and full of great stuff, the banh mi wrap is my all time favourite... everything is good, filling and healthy! One of the only places I can eat at that doesn't hurt my stomach afterwards (the girls get it). They serve fast, it's easy to order ahead and have meals that are ready to be taken out and cooked at home. The service: Even better. They are kind, accommodating, personable and don't judge you when you've ordered the same thing three days in a row. The location: Feels like a community space. They always have posters of local events, host local artists and it is wheelchair accessible! Based on all my experience there, I'd also say they are neurodivergent friendly - always patient, don't mind repeating themselves and are willing to adjust. FYI: I'm not vegan or gluten-intolerant. :) I just love good food. Keep it up!

Checked out Big Fat Lion Bakeshop, which makes vegan/gluten free/egg free/dairy free/nut/soy/sesame free goodies. They had muffins, cookies, brownies and a few other treats. No prices in their display. Got a German brownie ($6.00) and lemon lavender cookie ($4.25). Brownie was slightly denser texture with coconut caramel. Cookie was better; good flavour and texture. 3.5 stars.

Absolutely loved that this restaurant is 100% gluten free! However the service and food was mediocre. The chicken tajine was well flavoured and a good portion to price, however the rice was quite dry to the point where it was a bit crunchy…. The braised beef sandwich was very disappoint. For the price it’s very small and didn’t really have any of the toppings listed in the menu. Service was slow and not very coordinated, by the time I received my dish everyone else at the table was already done eating. The chicken waffle sandwich was actually very good and a good portion for the price!

Irene Lovund Toews

An incredible GEM for anyone who’s gluten free. I am visiting from Nashville, and I wish I could pick this whole little bakery up and bring it home with me. I will grieve not having access to this.

Danny Vanderbyl

Absolutely some of the most delicious food I had in my life! I had the Mexican street tacos, which was not a big portion, but the flavour was immense. I travel a lot and this place is outstanding, I will be back bringing 10 friends! 🤩🤩🤩 I only wished I had eaten here before so many times! Gluten-free by default and lots of dairy-free options. I even had room for delicious gluten-free dairy-free fried plantain for dessert with agave syrup subbed for the chocolate and whip. Yummy!! 😋 No wonder they won so many awards!

Matt

Best churros I've ever had. Service was friendly with a unique atmosphere. Totally gluten free too

Justin Malhi

Pancakes were cool, the overall restaurant is great for gluten free people as well

pratham deshmuk

Great selection of gluten free breads and baked treats. Also their muffins coffee was pretty good. A must try place for people who have gluten sensitivity.

Claire Scott

This brewery is a 100/10! The beers are absolutely outstanding and even though the process was explained to me I still don't know how they have managed to make gluten free beers that, dare I say it, are better than some gluten-filled beers! We visited the location on a trip to Kelowna and met the owner, Chris Neufeld, who was so welcoming, kind and knowledgeable. He spent so much time with us answering all my questions and you can truly see the love and dedication that he puts into his beer. Go visit them for an outstanding experience, we will definitely be back!

Garry Christensen

HMMMM. Delicious fish in a light and crispy gluten free batter. GF fries. Burgers for those who insist on a glutinous diet. Great meal.

Evita Kalnina

I love the place and my visit there, the baker and owner Bruce is absolutely incredible person to talk to and the food is delicious, as close to glutinous products as it can be. Will definitely come back here 😊

It's a gluten free restaurant with great vegan options. Never disappoints. Super friendly staff, I go almost every time I'm in Port Alberni

Becca

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.

Baljinder Sharma

Wow the sweets were great. My niece has gluten allergy we finally found pizza shells she loves. Double chocolate cookies are the best😋

Sally Whibley

The food was great! Ocean view on a quiet golf course setting. Most restaurants only offer a few gluten free options and charge extra. Off the Hook has a full gluten free menu so it doesn’t limit my choices. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Thanks Cori for a great evening!
