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. :)
Discover a cozy gem with a menu full of locally sourced, clean ingredients and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.

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.
Known for its uniquely diverse menu and impressive food presentation, this spot is always bustling, especially before 9am—definitely worth checking out!

I've been going to this restaurant almost every weekend for a couple years now and I have no idea why I haven't written a reveiw for it yet.
10/10 for everything, every time I go there. Food is always spectacular and the staff are phenomenal. The menu is uniquely diverse and as someone with a gluten intolerance, they cater quite well to individuals with dietary needs. Their food presentation is always 5 star, and constantly far above every other breakfast place in Cambridge. I would recommend coming in before 9am, because afterward the place is incredibly busy and for good reason. 100% worth going.
With stunning views of the river and beautiful settings, this venue is perfect for special celebrations and memorable photo ops.

The menu is very meat heavy; I opted for the lamb, but even the potato rosti that came with it was a block like a fish stick! The grilled parsnips were tasty.
We were not in a hurry, but the food was very slow to arrive after the salads and bread.
My friend asked for gluten free bread which she had previously enjoyed at the restaurant, but it was toasted and didn’t measure up to what she had enjoyed previously.
I ordered a second glass of Chardonnay and had to send it back, as it clearly wasn’t Chardonnay. My husband, too, didn’t get what he ordered for his second drink.
Very noisy when we arrived, but we were able to carry on a conversation by the time we left!
I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. We had a much more enjoyable time at the Elora Mill recently.
Expect a warm ambience and masterful dishes crafted with artistic flair for a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Went here for the Mother’s Day brunch. Atmosphere was very nice and they had a DJ playing music. I payed the extra $20 to get the steak and eggs since there wasn’t many gluten free options.
I asked for the steak to be prepared medium rare. Unfortunately it was very undercooked. Pretty disappointing. Service was pretty slow but it was busy as it was Mother’s Day.
The rest of my group had the small plates (2 plates at a time limit) they seemed to enjoy it. It was $300 for the 5 of us plus tip.
Expect a chill vibe with attentive service, perfect for a leisurely visit—people can’t wait to return!

Great meal on Thursday nite. 2 for 1 soup & salad meant a big bowl of Tomato Tuscan bean soup and a large Cobb salad with chicken for $16. Dessert was a chocolate gluten free “hockey puck” (at least that’s what it looked like) which was to die for. Our server, Aliya, was great…smiley and attentive . All in all a very enjoyable meal…we will be back.
With a warm vibe and welcoming owner, this spot keeps locals coming back for its delicious offerings and cozy atmosphere.

Had a first visit today at Java Jax. The food was amazing. Lots of options, including gluten free options. The service was excellent, friendly and courteous. The food is made in house, so we had to wait a few minutes, but it was totally worth it for the taste and the freshness. The soups are made in house and were incredible!! I also enjoyed a chai tea latte, which was perfect. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning! Thank you!
A cozy spot with fresh flavors and a variety of options that offer a fantastic experience, despite its small and intimate setting.

Pricey? Yes. But so worth it!
We thoroughly enjoyed our first time here. The food was so fresh and lots of gluten free options. The fish pakora, chili chicken, naan and biriyani were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is nice, clean. Super intimate, small space, not much room for privacy.
The staff was friendly upon arrival and very helpful (and patient) when asking questions about the menu. Good Indian food is hard to come by in this city but Saffron is a new favourite place for us.
Homemade freshness shines here with a diverse menu that's perfect for picky eaters, making it a bite-sized delight for everyone.

They were delicious and wicked! They catered a kids events event with various different nationalities and accommodated by making flavourful yet super mild food. All the children and adults were able to eat !!! Despite them giving extra and above what we ordered, the food was so good we ordered more and they were quick and efficient and getting it all ready! Great service, great accommodation. Eben made sure everything we ordered was gluten free!! Affordable and great taste! Definitely ordering and catering from them again! Thanks ;

Recommended: it's pretty good for Subway. They remodeled a while back and it really brought life to the place. The staff are friendly and polite. They are quick to make your sandwich. I ordered a gluten-free sandwich and half-way into the order I asked about whether he heard my order. He said yes, but he wanted to finish the first two sandwiches so that he could change gloves. I appreciated the attention to allergy needs.
