Delicious!! Love all the gluten free ice cream flavours, but best of all the amazing, fantastic, delicious gluten free waffle cones!! I never thought I'd be able to have a waffle cone again, let alone one that good!! It was excellent! I had the chocolate milk ice cream & the salted caramel ice cream...kicking myself for not buying some of the salted caramel ice cream to take home. Guess I'll just have to go back again soon!

We booked this location for a large group. They were able to accommodate our request for a specific seating time. The table and seating area were comfortable and the noise level was reasonable. We had two servers assigned for 14 people. They were very busy so service was somewhat uneven. We were very happy with the selection of food from meat to vegetarian to gluten-free and vegan options. Unfortunately, some of the food delivered to our table was lukewarm because they left it under the heaters too long. I don’t fault the kitchen. I believe the service staff were very busy. They forgot our meals until we asked for the status of our entrees. Overall, a great place to meet with a large group. But be prepared for some service gaps on a busy night. The table next to us with six people had the manager and a server doting on them all night, even though our table spent more money!!

Always our go-to restaurant in KW for bringing friends/family visiting the area. Consistent, well-priced, and something on the menu for everyone. Also very gluten friendly with a large plant-based menu as well.

Always an absolute delight having breakfast here. Food is amazing and they have gluten free bread for toast. 10/10

Alex Brubacher

Amazing food and wonderful staff. Their gluten free crepe was big, and the best I have had in a very long time. The staff was friendly and our server Hannah was amazing, getting our food to us so we could all eat together even though some of our items were delayed. It was busy there, and thus load due to many conversations. So if you are looking for a quiet place for breakfast/brunch look at how busy it is first.

Favourite cafe in the region. Always lots of seating, amazing sandwiches, SOOOO many gluten-free options. The baking is so good. My go-to spot for a coffee date.

Andrea Hildebrand

We had the freshest salads, absolutely scrumptious pasta, by far the BEST gluten free pasta I've had anywhere ever, and a wonderful house-made tiramisu. The food was excellent! We recieved very warm, hospitable and attentive service from Sarah A. We brought a friend visiting from abroad with the promise that Ennio's is legendary and one of the best places in town. Thanks for meeting and exceeding our expectations!

Faizal Jamal

We love the food at this place! The best Gluten-free and vegan food I’ve ever had! Great service and management, and they are very well informed of the menu and different allergies. Have eaten here multiple times and always come back to try something new. 😋 make sure to try their power smoothies as well.

Very friendly, awesome that they do gluten free fries and burgers, which is hard to find!

carl fournier

Had gluten free pasta with shrimp. Fast service and delicious food.

Kathy Brookes

Amazing dinner as always and love that they deal with my Celiac with respect and ease. Little bit noisy and can feel a.bit cramped depending on where you are seated. Highly recommend. Lots of choices and always perfection

Karen M

GR wraps and Halva, which I bought to take home

Abby Lavell

This cafe is amazing!! Great place to work or just sit and have a coffee. The food is incredible and almost everything on their menu can be made gluten free. The gluten free products taste great and are good quality. The staff there are also very nice and friendly. Highly recommend!!

We decided to check this place out for the first time (I called and confirmed they have GF options including cesar salad) this evening and we had a terrible experience. I asked for Gluten Free Cesar Salad (no croutons) and the server even asked if this was a preference or allergy and I mentioned allergy. My salad came and after a few bites, I found a few crotons underneath my lettuce! They apologized and brought me a new salad (which I was skeptical about after the incident). Service was not good at all. We were the first to sit on the patio and ordered our food and drinks (water only) quickly. Time passed and 4-5 more tables were filled in the patio, our server brought everyone else water except for our table (seems like she skipped us intentionally rather than forgetting us!). we waited a few minutes and she passed by a few times without even bringing us water until we asked. She did not come across polite at all (young tall lady with blond her braided on the back). Terrible experience - won’t come back again.

Scott was great and hospitable. Playoff hockey and wings for this Celiac was perfect...

Katelynn H.

Good breakfast. I always get the gluten friendly pancakes, and they sit well ( celiac ). I would strongly recommend joining the waitlist before going. It's a great option !

Shawn Wasserman

Great for Celiacs! I used to go to Mel's all the time as a student. Then I stopped when I was diagnosed with Celiac and I then had a very bad episode. This was years ago, long before COVID. NOW, they have completely redeemed themselves and then some! They have a great GF menu and try very hard to ensure safety. I felt great after eating and the burgers are just as I remember. Pretty sure the GF bun was from O'Doughs, so it could be better (especially with all the great GF bakeries around). But they clearly toasted it on the grill so it was really good. Glad to be able to come back to this old haunt again. ❤️ Whomever updated their gluten free training, menu, and setup, I thank you. ❤️

Bess Lillico

This little cafe is a hidden gem. The staff is friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, and the food is comforting and tasty. They have many vegan and gluten-free options and everything is delicious. Their gluten-free muffins are incredible. Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend The Healthy Owl.

My wife and I had Jose and the Los Rolling Tacos team cater our wedding of approximately 50 guests. They did an absolutely fantastic job, can't say enough good things. The menu selection, scheduling, food quality, gluten free and vegan options, fair pricing, it was all A++++. Would recommend to anybody looking to cater a food truck for an event, or looking for a place to go for some of the best Mexican food around. Big thank you to Jose and the entire Team @ Los Rolling Tacos. We'll be visiting soon. Eric and Jill

My go to restaurant in KW that is very celiac friendly and hands down the best Thai in KW! The owners are lovely, the menu is very accommodating to allergies and the take out is quick.

I recently visited Noodlebox and had a great experience! The food was fresh, flavourful, and came out nice and hot. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when I had questions about spice levels and options for customization. I also appreciated that they offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-friendly options — it’s great for groups with different dietary needs.

We enjoyed our evening at Kelsey’s. Our waiter, Tim, was very entertaining and assisted us with our food and drink selections. We ordered the Steak Fajita (big winner), a retro menu item, the Beef Tenderloin with Creamy Blue Cheese Pasta (which I requested with gluten-free pasta; it was a bit heavy on the salt, but I still enjoyed it), the Chicken Thai Curry Bowl (disappeared fast), and the Chicken Fried Chicken (the presentation was lacking on that one, but it still disappeared).

Kimber Munford

It's so nice to find a mostly gluten free menu, and especially dosa, my favourite food ❤️ Absolutely delicious, with generous portions. Shivani was so helpful and sweet. She even packed up some sambar to go! 5/5, we will be back!

Jamie Tremain

I wish there were more than 5 stars! I haven't been to the Pickle Barrel for a while, but over the years have visited and enjoyed meals at various locations. Last night's meal, to celebrate my daughter's birthday, was perfect. Our server, Pam, was attentive to our party of 5. Everyone had something different and I didn't hear one complaint. I enjoyed a fabulous Greek Salad, and the gluten-free chocolate cake my daughter enjoyed (and shared!) was tastier than I would have expected. Well done, Pickle Barrel. I will be back!

Amelia

Server was very friendly. The oat ice cream was great for someone who is lactose intolerant and gluten free. Will definitely come again. You can also get the ice cream for $1 for the summer deal on the app!

Aidan Perry

Great place to get tasty burgers! Inside tables are very clean and service is fast. Good variety of different burgers included in the daily combos through the week. Employees are knowledgeable about gluten-free options which is greatly appreciated.

I had multiple miscommunications over my meal which created frustration. I ordered the seafood sirloin but without shrimp (allergy) abd mashed potatoes instead of croquettes (gluten-free). The waitress asked if I wanted more of another seafood instead of shrimp so I requested scallops. The meal initially arrived with shrimp so it had to be taken back. When I got it replaced, there were only scallops and cold chunks of butter in the sauce. I was told the lobster wasn't served due to contamination with the shrimp, which is fine had I been told. If I knew the plate would be so limited I'd have ordered something else. And where the restaurant saved money but not serving shrimp OR lobster, I am really unimpressed with the value. I was offered a dessert in compensation (only one gluten free option) which we took to go. I'd have preferred a discount on my meal as the issues with my dish really took away from the experience. While the food was otherwise ok, I'm not thrilled with my expensive dining experience this evening.
