Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Kelowna

One of the few restaurants my celiac boyfriend still trusts. However, he got sick 2 times by the cross-contamination. They are not the most careful staff so you have to make sure they understand how severe your celiac disease is and explain to them NO CROSS CONTAMINATION NO GLUTEN and they're usually pretty good. Also good with take outs

Trina Tymko

Yummy vegan food! Lots of gluten free options too!

I look forward to visiting Marmalade Cat Cafe every time we visit Kelowna. I love the vibe and food and coffee! Can't go wrong. They have gluten-free bread and desert options, which I very much appreciate!

Sarah

The server was wonderful and made sure that my food came out gluten free. I have celiac and I feel very comfortable eating here. I'm thoroughly impressed with my entire experience.

Transcend Beauty Services

Delicious gluten free/ vegan pizza!

Sarah Nova

Great meals at a reasonable price, we had excellent service and everyone in our party loved their meal. Would definitely go back! They were very accommodating for food allergies like salt and gluten

Tara Gemer

This is a great place for delicious food with a variety of choices, including vegan and gluten friendly if you need it. Our service was top notch, staff were very friendly and super responsive to any needs. Would recommend a reservation as it was a very popular place. Highly recommend.

Weather you are Vegan or Vegetarian or neither, like me, this restaurant is an amazing experience accompanied by awesome food. As someone with Celiac Disease they are extremely accommodating. They even have their own Gluten-Free fryer so all can experience there incredible Chickpea Fries. I recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a wonderful meal!

El Taquero recently catered our wedding. They were absolutely incredible in all aspects. They had an exceptional team during the lead up to the event. On the day of they were extremely organized, personable with our guests, and the food was AMAZING! They managed allergies and took great care with my celiac disease. We are a few weeks out and I still have guests commenting on how delicious the food was! A huge thank you to the whole team! You made our special day that much more special!

Very disappointing to say the least, save your money and go somewhere else. Both deep fried dishes came cold and soggy from sitting on the pass while we waited for an entree salad and a burger to catch up. $4 for a gluten free bun is absurd but good on the bartenders for a delicious spicy marg. Kelowna local but I’ll never go back!

They’re great at accommodating gluten-free dairy-free! I was able to get a burger with no cheese, butter, etc. and didn’t get sick. However, that is the only thing on the menu that is gluten free (other than salad). My partner ordered fish tacos - they were drizzled with liquidy guacamole. The guacamole used at least a small amount of spoiled avocado and it ruined the whole dish. The burgers are pork and beef mixed. They were great at accommodating kids, the server was nice and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was as expected.

Amy Krell

The standby Cora‘s in Kelowna doesn’t disappoint. Happy to get egg whites and gluten-free toast! Incredibly friendly service.

Allison Pellegrini

This is a classic lunch stop in Kelowna. Crystal and her team are fantastic. She remembers my name and I go months without seeing her. They have alternating soups of the day. They also offer soup flights. She usually serves 4 types of soup and a sandwich feature and a lunch special. I love the veggie sandwich. She also has a lot of options for dietary restrictions and many gluten free options. It’s a nice warm place to feel important and have the most delicious lunch. Be sure to try her classic hobo soup. You can also purchase large format soups to go that are frozen to be enjoyed at home. Great value and comfort food!

Dor B

Great music, service, delicious food. Excellent gluten free pizza, she checked with the kitchen on everything since I'm celiac including the chocolate mousse dessert with warm caramel foam which was also gf, super sweet but yum!!

Jessica Kearney

They have a dedicated gf fryer, I had wings, hot chicken and pickles, avocado dip, fries! So many options, gluten free breading and separate fryer. No side effects or bloating and food was amazing 😍

Nicholas Wilson

Delicious food, especially the gluten-free friendly menu. Great retro-modern decor! Really loud when it's busy. Service friendly, but infrequent: coffee refills were sparse. ☕👍🏻

Siman Sandhu

The food is absolutely delicious and the service was great as well. Dosa is a little hidden gem. They have a large menu of savoury and sweet crepes that cater to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diet options to choose from! I had the vegetable Dosa. I'm obcessed. The prices were reseasonable too! N the service was excellent.

Melony Catana

Lots of gluten-free options. Great Bennies with actual gluten-free english muffins. Friendly service, kid friendly, cozy atmosphere, good portions.

Astin Leigh

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Kelowna !! They’ve been here over a YEAR!!! Best find ever. I’m currently posted up here by myself, working on my laptop while munching away on the most Bombbb food and sipping margaritas. I’ve tried a number of items off the menu and every single thing has been a winner. The service is always fantastic and incredibly friendly. Fantastic Happy Hours with delightful drinks and all my favourite dishes on the happy hour menu. They don’t use gluten in the building for anything and outsource their flour tortillas and buns. I have experienced zero digestive issues which is almost unheard of eating out. **Must try** the tacos dorados & the sticky ribs appies Huaraches are so good too omg - obsessed w the birria one. GLUTEN FREE CHURROS. Tacos and Burritos are equally bomb according to those who I’ve brought here so far haha 1000/10 recommend

Gina Schlenker

Wow, just wow. I didn't think I'd ever find a good gluten free crepe, but low and behold, Empire Crepe exists. I've tried many different crepes with all different types of batter and they all have had a gritty texture or a taste that was starkly gluten free. Not Empire Crepe. Next time I drive through Kelowna (or anywhere nearby) I will make sure that Empire Crepe is one of the stops I make!

Kimberley Truman

Visited on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. He had the Baron of Beef and I had the butter chicken. Because of my allergies to gluten and fish, I always ask a lot of questions before I order. I could have had any burger on a gluten free bun. I have had the spiced jamb burger in past and it is quite lovely. Today the butter chicken was a nice mild lunch choice. I love the addition of peas and tiny tomatoes to the sauce which burst in your mouth as you eat them. When my food arrived, I was about to hand over the naan bread to my husband but our server informed us it was cauliflower!! It had a nice sea salt finish and there was so much of it I had to bring it home to munch on later. We had the Okanagan Iced Tea to drink. When the bill came, I noted we were not charged extra for the gluten free "naan bread" which was a really pleasant surprise. Overall a satisfying experience. *Note: this is a dog friendly patio, they even have a dog menu so you can order your furry friend a treat*

Fabiola Klassen

The food was delicious. We got gluten free everything in the picture and it was absolutely delicious! We were very impressed 👏

Krystal Watson

I enjoyed the food and service was good. Food came out quickly for a busy Saturday night. I am disappointed that restaurants take advantage of people with Celiac disease. I understand that gluten free food cost more however typically gluten free options remove items to make it gluten free so I feel like this should balance the cost out. Also, if you tell customers they can sub something then the cost to do so should be advised before the customer orders. They were going to charge me $3.75 for a ceaser salad without croutons and $2.75 for gluten free bun. I will say the gluten free bun is really good. At the end the manager did remove the upgraded cost which I appreciated however I probably will not be back as the cost to be able to eat gluten free is excessive.

Lisa Haftner

Sarah C was amazing! Co sulted me gluten free options and amazing service!

Christina Lister

Thank you to our server Emma for recommending the lemongrass chicken salad as a great gluten free option. A lovely stop in the middle of the long drive. Will be back!

Grace Lee

Went at 11am on a Saturday and it was busy as expected (15 minute wait outside) but the service was fairly quick once we were in. We ordered, ate, and left within an hour. Appreciated the variety of options, good quality free run eggs, and gluten free options. Also appreciated having the option of choosing the number of eggs Benedict to order, which makes it nice for sharing at the table. Our server was super friendly- they forgot something I ordered, but ensured the issue was solved right away.

Marilyn Champagne

Such a cool spot! Eclectic decor, super nice staff, lots of vegan and gluten-free options. The food is soooo good, decent portions too.

Kira Schmidt

Came here for lunch and had an amazing time. They offered suggestions for gluten free meals and the service was incredible. We also had the sangria which was delicious. I would definitely come back again when I’m in the area.

Holly Hobart

Kind informative amazing place. I wish I lived closer! The Tiramisu was great, apparently they also do them to order and can make gluten free sponge cake Tiramisu. I feel the need to try both now. Friends had the Sprioli which looked and smelled great, I only ever knew them as rice balls but these where a meal on their own. Lots of vegan options.

Stephen Hubley

Had a great breakfast this morning! The Chicago Eggs Benedict was delicious, and I appreciated the wide variety of options available for my friend who is gluten-sensitive. Excellent experience overall!

Francesco Cheema

The lady who served us was very nice and gave us a run down of the gluten free options and was caring overall with the service.

Crystal B

Great authentic food, gluten free options and generous portions. Reservation recommended but if go early, can get a table.

Bob Cowan

It has some of the better tasting pizzas, but the outlandish prices are unwarranted in my humble opinion. My wife paid a very high price for a small gluten free with rather dry crust...

Dope Sheet

This place is awesome. We went two days in a row while visiting. The staff is SUPER nice. They have nitro cold brew! Really cool atmosphere. Delicious coffee. And they even gave our pup a big bone and told us he's welcome inside anytime. They also have a lot of gluten free options for pastries which is always a plus for me.

Stephanie Mandryk

Brent was KILLER!! He was a fun, easy going, amazing server. He helped us our with our first oyster experience. Awesome service. Also super conscious with allergies - even brought me gluten free bread and asked the kitchen for me and dealt with being bombarded with questions. Thanks so much again

Matt

The food is so wonderful and the service is so helpful. My wife who is celiac can eat here. Greyden made the dining experience exceptional.

Annie Burton

Very friendly staff. Food was delicious and although limited options, the kitchen accommodated my celiac needs.

Marybeth Zelent

For those of you who have to eat gluten free you know the sad story. Well, here is a place that makes food specifically for GF (And DF) with a specified fryer! gluten free fish and chips with housemade tartar sauce! Those first bites were a flavour explosion, followed by disbelief! “Can this really be gluten free?” Followed by crying because it was something that didn’t have to be altered for my dietary needs. It was made for GF! I mean, other people can eat it and enjoy it, but they will never know that feeling of MADE GF!!!!! Thanks Chef Chris and Mario. And thank you to our server Morgan! Excellent care and attention. Wait there’s more! GF chocolate lava banana cake! Perfection! BEST. BEST. BEST!

Camille D

I love that they have gluten-free options! Their GF pizzas are the same as normal ones, and that's very rare! My husband loved the beer, and the atmosphere was really good. We had a really nice waiter also, so a great experience overall. Oh, and being rugged by the lake was also nice!

Natalie Gilgan

Went for lunch today, got a gluten free pita with chicken. The ladies working behind the counter were absolute dolls, excellent customer service and the pita itself was delicious. A great spot for lunch, quick and healthy.

Vasi Petrova

Very friendly staff. Delicious food!!! Really good gluten free options. They forgot our toast, but it's okie. More than enough food. Good portion sizes.

Hal Saxby

Terrible gluten-free buns. Terrible service.

Stéphanie GAYRAL

Good products Beautiful presentation especially for desserts Lots of gluten-free dishes

Liza Guenette

Food was good and came out quick. Our server was lovely and even realized that I request a gluten free English muffin and asked if it was a preference or an allergy, which is really appreciated. The restaurant was clean.

Impact Events

Great service and delicious food. Every time I go to Krafty I always say "why don't I come here more often?" The space is comfortable, the selection of food items are plenty and they have no problem accommodating my gluten free needs, along with a great BC wine list and tasty farm to glass cocktails. Mia is always a pleasure to see, but every team member ensures that you are comfortable and checks-in to make sure that you have everything you need. Highly recommend.

Duncan Harte

Thrilled to finally get Ethiopian food in Kelowna! Excellent Injera flat bread (made from 100% gluten-free Teff flour), delicious Tikil Gomen (savory cabbage) and yummy Chicken Tibs! Lovely, warm people! And you can eat outside in the park, by the lake! Try it!

Dennis Barnes

Very good food. Lots of Gluten-free and vegan dishes to choose from which are very tasty. Highly recommended.

Brad Lagore

The veggie options are good. Surprised there were no gluten-free bread options. Overall it's a good local eatery for breakfast!

Brent Forder

It's a cool, independent café with personality and reasonable prices. I enjoyed the tomato soup, a veggie sandwich and a matcha latté. There are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options in the sandwiches, burgers, salads and soups, but unfortunately not in the "hot lunches" category. The menu is designed with nutrition in mind and I appreciate that they have items like quinoa, sprouts and avocado. The service was friendly and authentic, and I have to bump them up to 5 stars for that since it's so rare. It lifted my spirits a bit to have lunch here instead of a chain.

Luke

Very kind people, delicious food, reasonable prices. Will definitely be back! Small gluten free menu but great options (I had the grilled chicken bento box). Lots of vegetarian and some vegan as well. My friend said it was one of the best vegan sandwiches she’s had. I would live off the dalgona milk tea if I could.
