Top 10 Gluten-Free Cafes to Delight in Burnaby

David deSousa

The chef is not only Gluten intolerant himself, but us an absolute artist. My wife and I were in Vancouver for a few days while I took care of a couple of business meetings, and we happened to stumble across La Fontana Caffe while looking for something that would appeal to both of our tastes while also having at least a couple of decent Gluten Free options. Reviews said they could make special gluten free dishes, I was skeptical, but when I asked the chef, who I believe is the proprietor because of his passion for his craft and customers, he said all of the sauces are made from scratch and are gluten free, and though the home made pastas are not, he imports the gluten free pastas from Italy mostly to avoid cross contamination due to the gluten in the fresh pastas he makes daily. Portions are generous, flavors are to die for, coffee drinks smooth and rich without being bitter or too sweet (Carmel machiato). Plus, they have fresh baked gf desserts too! Bottom line, this reminded me of a little Cafe I used to frequent when I spent a year in Sicily, except they didn't speak English, and they probably would have kicked me out if I asked for gluten free pasta.

On behalf of Morley PAC I want to thank Fior Di Latte for catering an amazing lunch for our teachers and staff. Working with FDL was an easy, pleasant experience. They were able to accommodate several dietary requests including gluten free, vegan and vegetarian. Everything was packed beautifully and delivered on time. I had many staff and teachers tell me the sandwiches and pastries were delicious. Thank you again for helping us show our appreciation for Morley Admin, Teachers and Staff.

The highlights of this cafe are definitely the ambience, seating space, and hours. I come here fairly often as it's the only place in the area that offers those things, so it's great to have something like this in the neighborhood. The staff are always friendly and they keep it pretty clean. I would avoid coming here on weekends as it's insanely packed and incredibly noisy. The food is pretty mediocre and definitely overpriced, drinks are ok and on the sweet side. If you have dietary restrictions, particularly with gluten, you will not find much here. My personal hangups-- They don't seem to update their playlist, so if you come here with any regularity bring headphones or you'll be listening to the same 15 songs every time. And it's usually cold inside, but it's a big place so I'm sure heating is not something they want to spend on.

They use real chocolate for their mocha which was a nice surprise. Not a great place for a snack, if you need to eat gluten-free. Staff was very friendly.

The gluten free caneles were absolutely delicious. A wide range of food options, some looking better than others, but nice with all the dietary options.

We just went for coffee and a cookie. They had a gluten free option as well which was good. Staff was friendly! We'll come back some time to try their food. Couldn't sit outside unfortunately as they were working on their food truck which was very noisy.

Some of the best in house pasteries around. It can be busy at times but the staff is very quick and knowledgeable. They have an option for everyones taste and even have gluten free options!

Gluten-free pastries sit on the bottom shelf open and with non gluten free pastries right above. What's even the point? Would be nice if JJ bean showed some actual concern for people with allergies. it wouldn't be hard to separate and seal them. Otherwise, it's just a trendy gimmick.
