The best GF pastries in Vancouver!

We were here from Ontario, and read that they served gluten free burgers and fries (my wife and son both have Celiac Disease). They were delicious!! Best burger and fries they've had, and my other two sons and I both loved our non gluten free burgers too. We all liked everything so much we came back a second time during our visit! Excellent and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Easily my favourite go to restaurant for my family. Menu is extensive and reliable. My son is celiac and they take extra care always and have lots for him to choose from.

Tina Nguyen

Friendly staff and all the food is tasty, vegan, and most are gluten free too. My favourites are the smoothies!

This restaurant is AMAZING !! We ordered the nachos and several tacos. Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. My husband and I both have allergies, gluten & egg, and the Manager, Chris, came out to talk with us in regard to our allergies to make sure the dishes we ordered wouldn't be of concern. Thanks so much! 10/10!

Nice cafe although I think some of the previously posted pictures are wrong (don’t belong to the cafe). They seem to have the nondairy options for vegetarian or vegan people; however, that doesn’t help me as I don’t want to be forced to drink these so-called “milk”s just because I am lactose intolerant. That is to say, they don’t have lactose free cow’s milk. I can’t have each of the nondairy “milk” options for various medical reasons but in any case it could be the case that I just don’t like them. So I would prefer if they had an actual lactose-free milk option. Because of the reasons described above, I always have to get black coffee or tea. Their coffee is good and they have nice herbal tea options, so it’s not that bad. However I couldn’t try many of their lattes. I tried a matcha latte once with oat milk and it made me sick (as I mentioned I can’t actually have oat milk or any of the other nondairy “milk”s, but I tried it as they didn’t have an option that would work for me—big mistake of mine). And I didn’t try any other latte or any cafe latte. The gluten-free mini loaf was way too sugary. I’d recommend adjusting the ingredients in their recipe. I like the vibes in this cafe. Plenty of tables. The big table by the entrance is good but it is uneven and kind of bothers me. The chair pads are somewhat dirty though and I don’t feel comfortable sitting on the padded chairs. I find the morning staff more friendly than the afternoon staff, although both parties are friendly enough.

We just discovered Bao Down and it’s our new favourite place. The staff was polite, the service was speedy, and the gluten free options were legitimately impressive.

Visited Brewhall on Sunday with a group of 12, and we had a fantastic experience. The beer selection was excellent, including gluten-free options for both beer and food. The atmosphere was great, with high ceilings, clean washrooms, arcade games, and a fun photo booth. The outdoor seating added to the overall vibe, making it an ideal spot for larger groups or gatherings. Highly recommend!

Cecile Dubois-Herry

This is such a cute authentic place for an afternoon treat (the matcha latte and tofu pudding were great, they have tiramisu & cheesecakes) or a fairly priced Japanese meal with a delightful service. I'll try to come back for their omu rice and gluten-free options!

Helga Agleh

A true gem in Vancouver.

Alysia Duemler

All the locations are top notch 5 stars. Love the gluten-free and while not strictly kosher, certainly very kosher-style friendly, vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options. Delicious and nice staff everywhere. Support Jewish food!

Christian Naumann

Nook is the place to be for pasta in Olympic Village! Always delicious pasta & pizza, seasonal rotating specials and gluten-free options. Can’t ask for more!

Earth Explorer

Mediocre standard coffee with decadent pastries. Very few gluten free choices. No pour over or bulletproof. Noisy and no outlets. Wi-Fi is 5/1.

Ruty Rinott

Good coffee, great croissants, amazing pasta Bolognese. Gluten free options!

I can’t say enough good things about Mercato di Luigi —the staff here are absolute gems! From the second I walked in, Dario at the till was so welcoming and genuinely friendly, and was able to attend to my gluten free allergy. You can tell he actually cares about the customers, not just taking orders. He took the time to chat and made the whole experience feel personal, which is so rare these days. And then there’s Nate in the kitchen—this guy knows what he’s doing! Not only was the food amazing, but you could tell he puts real effort into making sure everything is just right. It’s one thing to have great food, but when the people behind it are this awesome, it makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a spot with incredible service and people who actually care, this is the place. Can’t wait to come back!

We've been smelling the coffee roasting for ages and finally started to come regular. Although the seating is hit and miss – sometimes, we had to go elsewhere because there were many patrons parked long term with their laptops – we always try this place first because all the staff make consistent espresso drinks with excellent micro-foam and the order takers are experienced and accurate. They have an amazing variety of sandwiches, and it was my intent to try one soon except I finally became a vegan and missed the boat because they don't have any vegan+gluten-free sandwich offerings. I used to love the carrot cake, and still do, it is not sweet and very addictive, but now that I cannot eat eggs, wheat and dairy, that's out as well. My partner continues to enjoy it though, no longer able to share it with me. Despite the fact that the space is rustic and the couches are too soft, we love that it is on the second floor and gives us a great view of Jonathan Rogers Park and Vancouver. In the winter, they don't have a canopy, so we cannot sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. I vote that they install a new rain-proof awning and replace the cold metal chairs outside!!!

Love this place for it's atmosphere. They have the best gluten free chocolate trio cake. My husband even loves it, can't tell it's gluten free :)

Laura D'Alessandro

Maddie made sure my food was gluten free and was very friendly. The food was great! Would definitely recommend this place!

Chris Hill

Really good with lots of those gluten-free options I like.

I’m not a fast food fan but Fatburger is different! The care and attention that is put into the burgers is amazing. So delicious and you can’t beat a classic burger like this. I’m gluten free and a lettuce wrap burger is one of the most affordable lunches in the city! Delicious 😋
