As a vegetarian visiting St. John's I was bit concerned about food selections for myself but Nook and Cannery was such a delight. The vibes were immaculate and the food was incredible. They offer many ways to adjust meals to suit vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free folks. My favourite meal during my trip!
Quaint spot with a stunning bay view, great vibes for working or relaxing, and awesome coffee that'll keep you coming back.

Everything is perfect there ! As I have no home, finding a place that feels welcoming and where I can use a good wifi is precious and I felt good working all day there, for few days actually. People that work there are awesome, pretty good coffee/chai latte/caramel macchiato and they also had gluten-free option (only the bread for sandwiches but they have plenty of choice and the one I had was delicious). I recommend 100%
Enjoy a stunning location with great views and a unique atmosphere, perfect for a memorable meal experience!

I have celiac disease and asked about gluten free options on the menu. I was told I could have a gluten-free bun with my burger. I asked if the soup of the day was gluten-free, the wait staff went to check and told me that it was. I ordered the soup and a gluten-free burger.
When the food arrived, there was a bun alongside my soup. I asked if the bun was gluten-free. The waiter went to the kitchen to check and came back and told me it was not. They took the bun away. I was not offered a gluten-free bun.
A few minutes later, I was several bites into my burger when the waiter returned to tell me there had been a mistake, and the burger bun was not gluten-free. They took the burger away. I was not offered a replacement burger.
The manager came to our table to apologize for the error. I explained that this would make me very ill, within about an hour. A few moments later she returned with the chef, who also apologized. They told me took my information and told me they would go over what happened with their staff to make sure it didn’t happen again. They took my phone number and said they would call me to check on me the following day, and the day after that. They never called.
This is serious. Eating gluten not only makes people with celiac disease very sick, it also causes permanent intestinal damage.
With unique breakfast options and a welcoming vibe, this spot promises a delicious experience that'll leave you wanting more.

I had a great gluten free sandwich here! The gf bread is made off-site and they have a separate toaster and mayo for the sandwiches. Obviously they bake regular bread here so the risk for a Celiac isn’t zero but I enjoyed my sandwich very much and the man at the counter was so helpful and patient with my questions!
Expect a lively atmosphere with generous portions, quick service, and a diverse menu that truly represents the local vibe.

Had breakfast here twice during our week in St. John's, and it was worth it! So many options, and the fact that they can serve most options gluten-free (i.e. on a gluten-free bagel) was great. Unfortunately, they do not have a dedicated deep-fryer, so I wasn't able to get any of the unhealthy stuff that everyone else had, but that's okay...I appreciated the fruit substitution for the hash browns!
Discover a charming spot with a stunning outdoor patio, perfect for a lovely meal amidst breathtaking surroundings during your travels.

My partner and I ate here once during our stay. I am celiac and need gluten free options which they had on the menu!!! Great experience and so lucky to find GF options even in a small town. We will be back!

This place is delightful! Highly recommend it!! Super clean, food was amazing and there were gluten free optio s for my daughter, the server was so pleasant and attentive and I love how the building is a mix of original structure and new. The gallery and gift shop on the 2nd floor was an added pleasure.

I go here everytime I'm in town, which is a couple times a month for work, and I've never had a bad drink here. There's a huge variety of drinks hot and cold and they always have interesting seasonal drinks as well. I always get a sandwich with a gluten free bun when I'm here, my favourites are the pesto chicken and the cran-apple chicken sandwiches, the gluten free bun is very good, and doesn't fall apart like other gf breads tend to.
With a cozy deli vibe and a unique selection of cheeses, expect a pleasant but slightly chaotic experience when visiting.

I do enjoy the deli environment but the layout here is absymal and it's never straightforward to order deli items and or pay for them.
The gluten free rice Kaiser is decent but a bit crumbly so plan accordingly. Dining in at a table is very pleasant if available.
My favourite sandwich is the curry chicken salad. Get the olives, carrots and pickles on the side.
The modest selection of cheeses is decadent. I look forward to bringing a wedge or two home.
Do not visit this place if you are in a rush. But overall, it is worth the bit of chaos.
Retro diner vibes and stunning views make this spot a must-visit, plus it's known for a creative menu and quick service.

The Irish Loop Coffee House has a surprisingly large food menu with reasonably priced and tasty items. We went there for coffee and tea, but I also had an order of home fries. The fries were really great!
There are options for those who are gluten free and vegetarian. I didn't see any vegan only dishes, but I think they'd be able to accommodate people looking for a plant-based dish.
The service was quick and friendly, which is always appreciated. The atmosphere and decor is retro diner themed, which was a cool surprise.
I definitely recommend The Irish Loop Coffee House when driving route 10 through the area.
Enjoy a magical vibe with stunning views, creative decor, and a memorable atmosphere that’ll make your evening unforgettable.

My partner and I went twice on our stay. I am Celiac and need Gluten free foods and the staff were very knowledgeable and lots of options for me including gluten free bread which I believe was homemade. Delicious! Will be back if in the area.

Although not advertised, and probably tough to accomodate on a busier night, the staff worked with me to meet my dietary needs! I appreciate their hard work. If you are gluten free or have other food allergies, would recommend giving it a try. Pretty hipster for the locale, but typical new age brew pub feel.
I managed to get pan fried cod and it was fantastic!
The staff here is fantastic. I have Celiac Disease and they always take great care in preparing my meals properly. This is one of the only places I trust with this. I've never had an issue. The staff always greats me with a smile, and the food is amazing. Lots of variety, and healthy options. Top notch!
Experience a cozy atmosphere with delightful flavors and a local touch that's a must-visit when in the area!

My wife & I stayed in the area for a few days on our honeymoon & this was absolutely the highlight. Their gluten-free fish cakes were a highlight for me (best I ever had) & the toutons were my wife's.
Cheers to Dawn, Kim & Kim for making such a warm environment & having a great chat with us.
There's a gluten free version of most everything on the menu. Penne as a gf pasta, all of their sauces are gf, and most of their toppings. It's very good to not feel limited for choices.
Charming spot by the ocean with plenty of seating, delicious cheesecake, and a reputation for outstanding burgers that’ll keep you coming back.

Sweet little cafe on a beautiful Oceanside drive. Lots of seating and an outdoor table option on a fine day. The menu has a good selection of appetizers, salads, burgers & wraps. The server said that a lot of the menu can be made gluten-free. We had the squid rings and they were some of the best I have tried around NL - the batter is light with a salty flavouring. The Spinach dip was meal size & the French fries delicious. The fried chicken had a different kind of coating, reminded me of shake and bake crumbs from years ago. Tasty just not a crunchy batter. Really good portion sizes. The bountiful cheesecake selection will bring me back in an instant. Oh, and don’t leave without a Homemade Flakey for later. A great spot that really is worth the drive.
Excellent music by Ron Kelly, great menu options and service on a Friday night in May. Consistent friendly welcome from Chico when he only sees us from out of town a few times a year. Food was delicious. Scallops, spinach salad and fish and chips with sweet potato fries. 3 salad options, lots of fish and shellfish and gluten free options on dinner menu.
My friend called and asked if they could accommodate dairy free along with the gluten free menu and they said they could- when we got there- they could not. Womp womp
Excellent service. Fast. The gentleman served a gluten free meal along with a regular meal and asked the appropriate questions in concern to cross containing.
The staff were friendly and helpful.....4 of us were gluten free and our waiter (of 16 years their) was great....he took super care we had gluten free delicious food!
A cozy, bustling spot with a homey vibe, offering delicious meals at great prices; definitely plan ahead to snag a table!

Excellent service; yummy food; reasonably priced; small-town breakfast and lunch cafe. Lovely atmosphere of family-like service. They were super accommodating for me as I can't have gluten and the gluten free breakfast sandwich they made for me was soooo yum! Still thinking about it 2 days later! 🤤 keep it up, Crooked Phil! 😊 Will definitely be back whenever we come through Carbonear! *Busy little spot with not many tables, so I recommend making a reservation if you're tight for time*
Usually the service is great.I have celeacs disease and I'm not able to get anything from a fast food restaurant but subway serves gluten free selections.which is great for me
Expect a top-notch pick-up and delivery spot with a focus on health-conscious options and delicious choices that'll make you keep coming back!

A must-stop for a casual breakfast or lunch when in St. John's. Don't pass on trying the delicious fish cakes. While I prefer mustard pickles with mine, the tartar sauce was tasty. I also tried the schnecke - croissant pastry with coconut, honey, and lemon curd. Quite sweet and sticky, but great with a cup of coffee. There are so many delicious-looking baked goods, salads, and more at Rocket Bakery - Water Street. The cafe is eclectic Newfoundland, fun and friendly. Lots of seating on a weekday morning. Friendly staff, too. There's an all-day menu, a vegan lunch menu, and a gluten-free menu to help you choose. I go every time I'm in town.
P.S. If you're watching the latest season of Reacher on Amazon Prime, you will recognize the filming location on Water Street. 😃
Fast, friendly drive-thru service. Food is delicious and on par with other A&W locations. As someone who is gluten sensitive, I love that they lettuce wrap their burgers!
Always a wonderful place to eat and celebrate special occasions with family and friends. The food was delicious as always. The staff were exceptional! Being the mother of a child with a tree nut allergy it is scary going to some restaurants that either are unaware or nonchalant about allergies. The chef took time to speak to us about the various dishes and he checked on the waffle batter which is a mix that was not safe. Then dessert time another lovely lady took well care of my daughter with tree nut allergy and my aunt with Celiac- gluten allergy. They were very accommodating. Highly recommend and the new owner is sweet! It was also beautifully decorated for Christmas!
Excellent staff and knowledgeable about celiac, I felt comfortable enough to have my first gluten free truck stop breakfast in years complete with homefries and toast.
This charming spot offers a delightful vibe with standout dishes like a must-try burger and unforgettable bacon-wrapped scallops that wow diners.

Lovely restaurant with a delicious gluten-free burger (the Amelia burger, with a GF bun) and the best bacon-wrapped scallops (also gluten free) I've ever had. The server (Kim) was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable about celiac and concerns about the potential risk of cross-contamination with wheat flour. Strongly recommended! 👍👍🍔 🤤
They have variety of options, and you can eat healthy, or live on the edge!!
It’s gluten friendly so that’s a plus if you are sensitive, not too many places around!
The Subway worker went above and beyond all expectations. He throughly explained was he was doing and why. Half the order was on gluten free bread. Well done and appreciated.
When in Corner Brook sometimes it can be hit or miss when looking for a decent meal, non fast food or inexpensive. Aromas offer from the table or from the counter. Gluten options available. We eat there whenever in Corner Brook simply because no surprises and goodvalue with great staff.
Wide selection of gluten free options and alternatives that can be offered; I believe only 3 or so menu items they said couldn't. Our server (Brianna?) Absolute gem and very cautious about making sure it was celiac friendly. Been 24 hours, no gluten reaction.
Love the bacon lovers breakfast. Melissa served me with smiles and greetings. It helped make my delicious breakfast (including gluten free toast) enjoyable!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant located within the Delta Hotel in St John's. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is open yet cozy and there were meal options that suited my gluten free preferences. I was lucky enough to enjoy a 1.5 lbs steamed lobster with vegetables before there were no longer any available. It was steamed perfectly and the vegetables were seasoned just right. Breakfast the next morning included an egg white omelet which also hit the spot and fueled me for my journey to Cape Spear. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're visiting St John's. One more thing: try the gluten free carrot cake. You won't regret it!
Celiac friendly
