Tried out some gluten free loco bread - yum! They've taken it off their menu at the restaurant, but still made it for me anyways since it's on the online menu :) Also, the nirvana dessert is certainly well named. What a treat! Wish I lived closer so I could go back regularly.

We visited the Brazen Poppy while waiting to get our winter tires installed and were very pleased we did, as we ran into some longtime friends there! The vaulted ceiling and large windows are welcome on a rainy fall day. Service is friendly and the food tasty. We appreciate the gluten free options. Glad we chose the Brazen Poppy.

Serious Coffee has gluten free bread to customize their breakfast menu, as well as a few gluten free pastry items.

Warning: you are going to have a very long wait on weekends for a table. There's a reason it's so popular! The food is great, there is gluten free options and the staff are excellent. However, best to come on a weekday!

Very experienced waitstaff. Decent wine list. Nice menu with great Gluten-free options. Very much worth a visit when in the Parksville area.

Probably the worst food we have eaten in a long time! My girlfriend ordered the cauliflower in coconut sauce with veggies and lentils. Hard veggies with no flavour. Dried hump of lentils. Sauce was very bland. The veggies burger was terrible. Presented like one was eating at Dennys. The pattie had no flavour what so ever. They charged $5 extra for a gluten free bun! For the prices they are charging there is no excuse for this kind of experience. One can literally run to any supermarket and get veggie patties that are flavourful and look like patties. We were warned by others that the food was very bad. We thought maybe it's subjective. We were wrong. It's 2025. No reason whatsoever to serve food like this. It's not 1999. The competition with very little effort does so much better. A resort/restaurant that charges premium prices, should know better. Unless they take it for granted? It's so frustrating having this kind of experience in a place one would expect to have high standards. Appears after reading past reviews, management isn't paying attention, or they don't care.

A great experience at KD’s! Food was great and overall atmosphere was cozy and comfy! The owner even recognized my boyfriend was gluten free without us having to tell her and gave him some gf bread with his meal! Great place!

Such delicious coffee, food, and just a wonderful place to meet with friends/get some work done. The service is always incredible as well (lovely people working) would HIGHLY recommend checking them out! Also, they have a few gluten-free options which has made them a go-to of mine when working in the area!

we stopped in for lunch. We shared the Prawn Cucumber Guacamole appetizer and then I had the Brimm Club. It was fantastic. My wife had one of the appetizers for her meal (sort of a nacho thing), and loved it too. Place looks great and the servers were really nice. Looked like a lot of Gluten Free and Vegetarian options on the menu, if that's something you are looking for.
