My favourite cupcake place! Never had such a good cookie other than the marble one.

Everything!

The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious! I went with a group to carry things back for the family, and I'm convinced the only thing we didn't take was the bakery with us :) Things we got: date, key lime & strawberry squares, cinnamon buns, lemon blueberry danishes, chubby bunnies, bourbon tarts, a chicken pot pie, and a cherry pie. For a family that has egg allergies, gluten & dairy intolerance, everyone enjoyed the food. The only constructive criticism I'd give is maybe that the sucrose could be a bit less? However, overall, we enjoyed ghe food and will absolutely be back :)

Great place for brunch! Gluten free is a huge plus if you or your partner (in my case) are celiac.

Extremely disappointed in our experience today. The display case was bare, yet the macarons and tiger cake we purchased were all rock hard and very stale. When you’re paying such a premium for a gluten free item, the bare minimum is the product isn’t stale. Every item we bought smelled of refrigerator and not of anything remotely like the product it was advertised as. Whisked is monopolizing on the very small gluten free market and selling people stale items at an unfair markup considering the poor quality.

Matt Mistruzzi

Great gluten free menu…. Tons of selection… Definitely recommend… 👍

Carly Brender

Dedicated gluten free, nut free, vegan, and kosher bakery. Friendly staff and yummy sweet treats.

Stumbled upon this place as we were visiting the area from Toronto. I loved that everything was GF. A lot of dairy free options as well! The food was fresh, minimal ingredients and my stomach felt great after. We tried the breakfast platter, London fog latte, and a few DF/GF pastries that were delicious! Highly recommend the crème brûlée! I haven’t had one since my gluten/dairy intolerance and I was in heaven! I purchased a few more for the road. They also had a Mother’s Day high tea which was so cool because I haven’t found a gluten free high tea place in Toronto. We hope to be back next time we are in the area and would love to try high tea.

Winnie’s is the best! As someone who doesn’t necessarily need gluten free options, I would still choose to eat here. The food is so delicious you don’t even notice it’s gluten free. My husband feels the same and he is a tough critic! They do have dairy free options as well which is great for me. From sweet to savory they have it all. I even got an amazing cake made for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Toronto that was not only delicious but so cute and fun!

R Steinb

Best place to go for gluten free food! Totally recommended! Wish there would be one store in Toronto! Susie is amazing!!!

Megan Edwards

Their gluten-free brownies are the best I’ve had. Super rich and fudgy without being too sweet.

Brianna Wilson

I absolutely LOVE this bakery! Truly a celiac heaven - I've been back twice since going with my partner because I was so happy with the experience. I recommend the beef patties, anything by Riz, eclairs, crullers, and my friend loved the samosa (he's not even GF)! Absolutely worth a long browse through their market, freezers and fresh bakes.

Lori Palmer

This place was incredible!!! We looked for a safe gf place for our celiac daughter, and this one was such a treat in that it is all gf. But even more amazing was the healthy, plentiful and incredibly tasty meals we had. We left fully satisfied and it kept us going for a very long time. Amazing service as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you for giving us an amazing meal. We hope for Impact restaurants to come to Vancouver, our home.

Spencer Clerk

Great food, really friendly and welcoming service. I feel very safe and at ease bringing my celiac mother here, as well. It’s such good peace of mind to be able to trust that a place can serve celiac friendly food.

Brianne Morris

I was THRILLED when I stumbled across this bakery today. I couldn’t believe my eyes! A gluten free bakery! I got three cupcakes, two butter tarts, and an apple crisp, and everything was absolutely 10/10. The texture of the cupcakes was AMAZING— absolutely blown away. Thank you!!!!!

Käyła

They have an amazing and delicious selection of items all made in house. Very sweet and welcoming workers. The best part they’re all gluten free for good pricing!! Highly recommend!

Michael March

A fun little Cafe, with plenty of gluten free options. Impromptu seating. There is an upstairs area also.

Robin keane

Plant Matter Kitchen is such a wonderful place to enjoy healthier, delicious options. Everything on the menu is vegan, and most items are gluten-free or can be made gluten-free, which I really appreciate. One of my absolute favourite desserts is their blueberry cheesecake—so creamy and flavourful, you’d never guess it’s vegan and gluten-free. Their chocolate cake is just as divine—rich, moist, and totally indulgent. Truly a slice of heaven! The presentation is always so beautiful. The vibe is warm and welcoming, and the staff, especially the waitresses, are always so friendly and lovely. It’s a spot I keep coming back to, and I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.

100% gluten free, good bakery options

Canada Eagle

Good stuff! Fresh gluten free delicious picks ❤️

Andrea Adam

What a treat. I live gluten-free and to be able to feed a little urge for classics like baked goods or a chicken pot pie is just wonderful. And they are sooo friendly ☺️

Mel Hare

Fantastic! Great cupcakes and the brownies are delish!

Sebastian Coveyduck

Read the reviews about the gluten-free fish and chips, and decided to check it out for a date with a Celiac girl. We were blown away, crispy batter, moist tender fish, house cut fries, all in a quiet, tucked away little spot with plenty of old school diner/pub themes. Will definitely be coming back.

Becca

As someone with Celiac, I have learned it is hard to find good tasting gluten free treats! These were amazing and the frozen meals are good too! Love it! New Fav spot to pick up stuff!

Hafsa

Nice atmosphere and service, but inedible gluten free pastries. As someone who has tried the majority of gluten free bakeries in Toronto and countless storebought goods, it’s ludicrous that this bakery is charging $5.93 for a single black forest cupcake. The cupcake had a weird texture, it was like munching on uncooked quinoa in between cake crumb. The frosting was overwhelmingly sweet and not creamy at all. I’ve had plenty of good vegan frosting at other bakeries—this was not it. There was very little cherry filling and it should have been a jam-like consistency, instead I think they just soaked dried cherries in sugar syrup. Not to mention the black forest cupcake is a “seasonal” flavor which is how the bakery justifies an extra $0.75 surcharge. Last I checked, dried cherries are available year-round so I’m confused and you should be too.

Christina Stair

Fantastic service, they were so kind and happy to help us when we visited. Food was amazing, and everything can be prepared gluten free in dedicated appliances so there is no crosscontamination. Would definitely come back if we are in town!

Kennedy McLean

I love their gluten free plain butter tarts. It is so nice to have somewhere to get treats I can eat!

Deb Gibbs

Two friends and I had a lovely Moms Day off brunch here. First time visiting, I’d googled places my friend, who’s celiac, would be able to find good options. We opened the door and were greeted with a smile from the host and the wonderful smells of fresh baked goodies. There wasn’t a wait, but I wouldn’t have minded as I’d have had more time to look through to-go items for sale in the front. Our sever was friendly and prompt. Helped me decide between two things I was interested in, thoroughly assured my friend on what was gluten-free, substitutes to make things so, and our coffees were never empty. I will absolutely be coming back with my family soon.

Jennifer Lau

Nice to have a "safe" bakery in the community. Treats are tasty and not super sweet or dry like most gluten free desserts. Frozen items available to take home as well. Wish they would do fresh breads as I would be all over that! They prefer cash or debit. Surcharge with credit card purchase.

Rob Aleksic

Excellent plant based gluten-free menu 👌 Will recommend anytime 😊

Maud C

I went there, they told me they were not dedicated. Half of the kitchen is gluten free, and the other 1/2 is not. This listing needs to be updated. Can you please update this listing ?

Pam

I’m annoyed enough to write this review because I just spent $25 on food that went into the garbage. After hearing good things I thought I would try them out. I got a gluten free muffin which was dry and mealy with over sugared icing. We got a couple sandwich cookies which were also mealy and so insanely sweet that I couldn’t taste anything other than sugar. They need to reduce the sugar by 50% to allow any other flavours to come out. We also got a butter tart. I’ve eaten a lot of butter tarts in my life and this was the worst. It was dense thick, icing, almost solid sugar, poured into a hard tart shell. Butter tarts are supposed to be gooey or even a tad runny and soft flaky crust. I have no idea why people recommend this place. Almost any bakery in the city does a better job.

Brit Gracka

Absolutely stellar experience at JWW! The owner was one of the most jovial food truck owners I’ve ever encountered and immediately made my fiancé and I feel welcomed as celiac diners. Jimmy was quick to ease our fears about CC and went above and beyond to offer our little pup an ice cream treat while we waited. We ordered several things off the menu for takeout including the corn dog, chicken club, chicken dinner and fries. We immediately drove it over to my parent’s place for lunch and it travelled beautifully (didn’t go soggy or cold). We were over the moon with the taste and texture and have raved about it to all our family and friends ever since (GF and non GF folk alike) because you absolutely can’t tell the difference. Thank you for catering to celiacs, a growing group of customers often dismissed/overlooked in the food space, and we can’t wait to dine with you again!

Carolyn Nichol

So impressed to find a place that cares about the ingredients they use for the health and well being of their clients. LOVE that they are gluten free and have vegan options. Take out, or sit down that doesn't set your health back is what Toronto needs more of, and this company has it!

Jessica H

Great variety and taste

Andrea Ziedenberg

Delicious gluten free food! Had fish and chips for the first time in years. Servers kind and helpful. Very good with kids.

Sandra M

I came in on April 4th, around 8pm, I was an hour late for my reservation, i was having major anxiety and felt like an ass for being so late. Your staff were unbelievably kind and helpful. The staff here were the absolutely nicest I have ever encountered. I was really struggling that day and everyone helped turn my day around (even though I know I was acting weird). I really needed a night out and I am really thankful to everyone. Also having a seperate gluten free menu is amazing!

Brittany MacDonald

Please bring back your old gluten free butter tarts!! They were so good and tasted just like a regular one. I don't know if the recipe has changed, but they aren't as gooy anymore! Otherwise, good gluten free items and sandwiches are yummy!

mitch gill

First I had a chocolate chip muffin, came back same day for an oatmeal cookie, came back next day for this incredible Breakfast Bowl. What a gem! I’m plant exclusive and gluten free, and here, I ate like a king. I’m coming back to Toronto this summer, this will be a must stop.

jagpreet singh

Gluten free food !

Ken Johnson

Coffee.... GOOD Gluten free bread..... GOOD Tuna Melt.......GOOD Service...... GOOD 10/10 will return!

Eric Shaw

Gluten restriction or not, this place did not disappoint with food or drinks! Service was also some of the best. Wish I could remember our server's name because he was awesome and knowledgeable of the menu.

Joel Desjardins

Mel’s Diner offers a classic diner experience with friendly staff, good food, and a retro vibe. We came at 9:30 on a Sunday and had a 20-minute wait for a table to open for 5 people, which felt like a reasonable wait time. There was counter seating available for smaller groups. We ordered quite a lot of food, and all of it was pretty good— nothing life-changing but a good, solid diner breakfast, with surprisingly good coffee. I typically find diner coffee to be pretty underwhelming. Mel’s menu also caters well for vegan and gluten-free people, which is something a lot of diners and breakfast places are missing. Mel’s has been around for a long time, and it makes sense why good food at reasonable prices with something for everyone on their menu.

Peter Kerr

It's a sports bar, busy and loud during happy hour. Great food and plenty of options for my partner with celiac disease (who is very concerned about cross contamination and staff are knowledgable)

Sareela Ramcharan

Had a great time catching up with my bestfriend here. She is Celiac and wanted to try this place out for quite a while. We both ordered the Chicken Fajita Poutine. It was really tasty and really healthy. I got a special drink called "Rachael's Tears" which was a mix of earl grey tea and chai, with their sheep's milk. It was absolutely delicious. My bestfriend got the matcha organic tea and she loved it. Care and thought is put into everything here. They offer so many health friendly products and foods. They also had a fridge with fresh local produce. Lots of parking in the front. It is not wheelchair accessible, and does not have a washroom on the premises.

Saba Cossor

100% gluten free, great variety and tasty treats as well as safe bread options. Open later than most bakeries which I appreciate

kimee De

Burgers are so good , Gluten free bun . French fries are very good

Jen Tavares

I LOVE Scoops! I’m a Celiac (must eat gluten-free medically) and go to Niagara probably twice a year if not more and I always make this a stop! Sometimes going two days for breakfast! They’re accommodations and understand of cross contamination and it’s one of the only places I can have breakfast safely! But they’re also super friendly we’ve enjoyed every time my husband and I have went and really can’t believe I’ve waited this long to review them! I have def told people on various GF sites to go there for breakfast! YUM! I’d give you 10 stars if I could 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - we were there this past Monday the 20th and although quieter than a weekend day our waitress was delightful and even when I used the washroom prior to leaving the gentlemen (staff?) sitting at the employee table was super nice and wished us a great day! I hope they’re there forever!

Tanya Fendler

My husband and friend loved your donuts. I have celiac and was so happy to see that you have two gluten-free options. They were more "cakey" than "donuty" but still very good. Rice flower is lighter and a little extra xantham gum might get that "chewyness" that glutenous donuts have. :)

Ashley Capern

Lots of gluten free options on the menu and staff were very knowledgeable about ingredients and cross contamination. Would absolutely go back!
