Celiac approved and delicious

So nice to be able to enjoy vegan and gluten free treats without worrying. So many different flavors.

I really wanted to enjoy my meal but I was so disappointed. The Caribbean chicken bowl I ordered was very poor. I had four 1-inch pieces of dry chicken. No juices or sauce, which should surely be there if it's 'braised'. There was a lot of rice, but it was so dry. The vegetables were ok, I really liked the carrots. That was it! I was so happy to find a gluten-free restaurant, but it was a big letdown.

Night service and a great variety of delicious gluten-free things!

Love this place. They do both gluten free and standard baked goods plus a big variety of vegan treats and they're all spectactulor. They recently open a coffee shop inside too. The bougie drinks are a little on the sweet side for my taste but I can't argue with the quality. It's delicious! (the cold brew especially). I'm in trouble with them so convenitently close to my office.

While their donuts are decent for Gluten Free we've had their cookies twice now and Both times they've been so under cooked the middle is basically raw. Not a great experience with the cookies. 9/10 reccomend the donuts though.

Horrendous experience. We recently heard that this restaurant could cater to those with Celiac disease. So we gave it an go today!! Everyone was excited. After asking repeatedly to confirm everything is gluten free and free from cross contamination, before/during/after, we were assured it was. My 10 year old is now violently ill. I might point out that it was 2:00pm when dined and we were the only table there. All any parent of a child with Celiac asks is that a restaurant is just honest on whether they can guarantee gluten free food and possibility of cross contamination (within reason). If you can’t, we’ll bring something with us!! The severity of the reaction my son experiences is always in proportion to the amount gluten he ingests. If it’s a slight cross contamination, it’s usually a couple trips to the toilet to vomit, bit of Tylenol then he’s good. The severity of this particular attack tells me it was direct ingestion of wheat. We’re moments away from going to the hospital. To the waitress that served us and the owner of this establishment…shame on you. I wish you were here watching my child experience the effects of your neglect. Watching your child suffer like this is heartbreaking. While I’m on it…the service was terrible too. Seeing as how we were the only table in the place, why did I have to go to the bar to tell her we were ready to order, again to order a drink, then again to ask for the bill. The Canadian guilt in me still left a 15% tip. Regret that now. Edit to this post after the fact…Owner contacted me and refunded money. Offered up apology. He did clarify that food is prepared in same kitchen so avoidance of cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. He said staff are supposed to tell the customers this. He’s committed to retraining and educating.

First time visiting CB since we moved to Kamloops last month. We dined in for breakfast. Breakfast tacos, waffle benedict (bacon and apple), coffee, service...it was all absolutely fantastic. We also picked up a couple pieces of cheesecake for dessert after dinner. Peanut butter brownie cheesecake and champagne strawberry cheesecake. Amazing...delicious. This bistro/bakery is 100% gluten free...and if you didn't know that, you wouldn't know. This is one of those businesses that you want to shout about from the rooftops; but at the same time not because you want to get a seat when you go. CB will definitely be a go-to for us on a regular basis.

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.

As someone with multiple dietary restrictions, I really appreciate how clear and easy to navigate Virtue Bakery is. No guessing games, everything is labeled, and the staff behind the counter genuinely understand the ingredients. It is refreshingly straightforward without ever compromising on flavour. Their offerings include all gluten-free, and a variety of dairy-free, egg-free, and low-sugar baked goods, catering to a wide range of folks. They do have nuts on-site, goodies share a display case, however whatever is labelled as nuts has nuts in it and other stuff doesn't. A rare gem for those of us with dietary restrictions! I love the df lavender brownie and df banana bread.

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

GLUTEN FREE CROISSANT OF MY DREAMS!!

Ivo S

So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Nikita Crane

Fried chicken, dedicated fryers and beer

Lana Fedora

In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.

K M

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

Nikita Crane

Lots of GF celiac safe goodies my personal fav is the turtle cheesecake. You can also buy their products at Save On Foods frozen. Such a cute little bookshop and cafe but always packed!

Adrienne Rademaker

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

Karmen Johnson

Called to place a take out order. Staff was very nice and friendly. We were given a very accurate time that our food would be ready. Four of us ordered four different meals and we were all very happy, especially my daughter who cannot eat gluten. It was so nice to not have to worry about any gluten cross contamination.

Wyatt Miller-Unser

Barts is great, affordable food, good selection of drinks, lots of menu items are Gluten free or can be made gluten free.

Brenda Gibson

How lovely to find a place that is entirely gluten free!! Also vegan and sugar free. The meals were delicious, the desserts were ok. All quite pricey but I guess that's the cost of fresh and healthy.

Matt

We had a great experience at omni. Extremely safe for celiacs. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free and anything they put in their deep fryer is naturally gluten free (rice flour). Huge plus for no fryer cross contamination! They had about 4 gluten free canned beers to choose from and we loved the fried Cajun honey chicken wings. Waitresses were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We will be back!

Cameron Shier

This place is great! Love the food and the yam fries, The service is friendly, and it's awesome that they have gluten free buns!

André Paris

I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.

Zoe Jamieson

We always love visiting Ulis. Last night we were visiting and I believe Dean (bubbly guy with beard) served us— he is the best! So knowledgeable and attentive, always making great recommendations. Plus there are many options for people with celiac disease. Thanks again Dean and ulis staff!

diana estrada

Best breakfast we ever had! We took my husband for his birthday and we love it! Foos is delicious and they have a lot of options, including GLUTEN FREE! We love it!!! Highly recommend

Izzy

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! As someone who needs gluten-free options, I was thrilled to see so many choices on the menu. The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The only hiccup was the choppy radio, but when we asked if they could turn it off, they were incredibly kind and took care of it right away. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a friendly spot with excellent service!

Patty Bowman

Great service and great gluten free menu!

Alexander Andersen

Excellent food, even on the gluten-free side, and thank you, Amanda, for the excellent service

Darragh Greaney

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

Noah

Great spot, and better than most other dairy-free/gluten-free baking in Vancouver. Their vegan cakes + cupcakes are especially good - about as close as you can get to a dairy cake in terms of texture and flavour

Nixie Knox

So happy to find gluten free options. Raspberry cheesecake was good. Nanaimo bar was flavourless. When I was young they had a barely-sweet, chocolate graham cracker base, custard buttercream layer (sweet) and real semi sweet chocolate on top. Now, everywhere not just here, they have no contrast, every layer is sweer, no custard taste and the base is greasy like a keto fat-bomb. Curious if this was a change to the original recipe or new style of Nanaimo bar?

maree fudge

SO good! And gluten feee 🩵

Lindsey Johnston

Had a great first experience here today. They are especially accommodating for Gluten free options.

Olivier Salvas

This restaurant was absolutely fantastic! We had the soup and sandwich combo, and everything was incredibly fresh. There were plenty of accommodations for dietary needs, including a great selection of gluten-free options. The atmosphere was spotless, and the decor was superb. Highly recommend!

My Gypsy Tale

Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating. Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service. They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges. Cheers

Mariah I

Cozy not crowded, no to little wait for a table. Food was delicious and as a gluten eater would happily go back for more gluten free things. The mushroom Benny and breakfast poutine was delicious and filling.

Joel Van Beek

My wife and I enjoyed high tea and it was fantastic. It felt like a fancy experience and the food was great. They also accommodated my celiac needs really well!

Jenna Francis

I’m Celiac and they used clean pans for me and was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about cross contamination and how to keep me safe. Very happy with service.

Nikita Crane

dedicated fryers perfect for wing Wednesday and beer

Lindsay O'Grady

Gluten-Free pancakes with many options for toppings. Nice renovated atmosphere and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Vikram S

This place is a hidden gem. A women owned business which serves delicious vegan options. Restaurant does not have huge seating space but can accommodate a group of 6-8. We tried Bombay Bad Boy pizza and were surprised with flavor. I will highly recommend trying "Almond Cassava" crust; it is gluten free but not too hard or crispy. Definitely worth visiting if you are vegan/vegetarian food lover or, interested in trying vegan food.

M B

Best burgers in town. Prices are reasonable for what you get, service is almost always great. Love that they always have a seasonal burger which keeps things exciting. Disappointing they don't have the house made chips as you wait anymore but overall still a great place to eat. Quite good for allergies too, especially celiacs.

Jen Blake

Amazing restaurant!! Our server was Katherine, we were even served a mini bottle of champagne on the house for our anniversary! Really good gluten free menu choices, which is hard to find these days. It is our second time here, we are from out of town. We will definitely be back when we are here again! Thank you!!

Melanie Mitton

Red Robins, Kamloops has the best gluten free buns of any burger place I have been to. I never feel deprived for having food sensitivities at this restaurant. We also recently had part of our daughters birthday party here and Jordanne (server) and Nyree (Manager) were so accommodating. The kids menu has so much choice, the bottomless drinks are a hit, and the hot cookie to go always makes the visit for my kids. Thank you for such a great visit.
