Everything!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Very accommodating for celiac

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.

Impact Kitchen is 100% gluten free, and yet people who aren’t following flourless diets frequent it. The healthy bowls, sandwiches, and toasts are made with whole foods, that are excellent to fuel you for work or a workout. Despite being “good for you”, the offerings are flavourful, and very hearty. I’m particularly fond of the beef brisket sammie and avocado chili toast! It’s a takeout/ casual quick eatery, so don’t expect the quality of a higher end restaurant. Despite this, I’ve always had good service, and the space is quite large. All in all, great for what it is! Happy to see so many good gluten free brands be successful.

Coralie D'Souza

One of the best gluten-free spots in the city! Every single item is delicious.

Aryelle Segal

It's a pleasure to have an option that is dairy free, gluten-free and kosher It's as if this company knew exactly what I needed Everything is perfectly delicious, sweet and enjoyable Would love if there would be a space to sit or have this product more readily available in more restaurants or cafes

Ellen Musgrove

nice place , clean and it’s nice to know it’s fully gluten free

Heidi Tanninen

First time here! What an awesome surprise to find this restaurant while we were out and about shopping! So pleasant to walk in and be greeted with friendly and happy staff! Then, to find out that there was an abundance of tasty gluten free options!!! It could be that their whole menu is gluten free, but I’m not 100%. We had a jerk chicken wrap, sipping broth, hot chocolate, and a cookie. These gluten free choices , as I said earlier are done well and so tasty - great ingredients too! Our server, Venkat, brought our experience up to another level! We will be back to this area just to eat here. Oh ya, we enjoyed the vibe in at Impact. Clean, and pleasant

Lori Lake

Food was phenomenal...good quality, fresh...and so many really great gluten free options.

Jason Booker

I haven’t had any thing bad from here. Awesome gluten free goodies. Great drinks. If you prefer treats with a mellow sweetness. This is the place for you.

Maryam Younis

celiac safe restaurant. healthy but super tasty!

KIKO

(Celiacs Beware) They have a a lot of gluten free items on the menu but only some of there items are gluten free for example it will say there Empanadas are gluten free but there actually not since they use the same fryer for their non gluten free items. Their arepas though are truly gluten free since they don't fry the bread but a lot of their so called gluten free items are not safe for celiacs so please do ask the waiter and don't just look at the menu and be like wow all gluten free cause its really not. Food was good tho

Krystal Leung

They have a lot of different waffles choices on the menu. I ordered the Churros one with some cinnamon sugar and syrup on the waffles. It was delicious and i love it. The environment was nice, good for people who want to chill or gathering with friends. They also have gluten free and vegan options. Good for vegan people to enjoy waffles. One thing a little bit inconvenient to me is they only accept debit/cash. not really a big deal but just i prefer pay in credit card.

R Massey

Seeing the unique name of the cafe and the fact that the cakes were vegan made us visit this place. Though there is less seating place inside, there is a large patio at the back. I wonder how this space would be used during the winter season? We ordered a coffee and a chai along with some cakes and we were not disappointed. The chai was excellent and tasted like desert. The cake was dense and tasty. Not overly sweet. I wish it was a gluten-free one. The service, too, was good, and we had fun chatting with the baker+ server. This place seemed popular as quite a few people were dropping in to have their coffee and some savory items. Unfortunately, the cakes we wanted weren't there, hence the selection was less.

While looking for a gluten-free breakfast spot in Toronto on Find Me Gluten Free, we came across a highly-rated place and decided to give it a try. I must say, this is the best gluten-free and vegan spot I've tried here, especially for the coffee. I ordered a mocha, and it was the best cafe mocha I've ever had. Made with real dark chocolate, it had that distinct bitter taste, complemented by coconut cream and a splash of maple syrup, along with some added spices—it was amazing. We also had steel-cut oats and a chocolate muffin. The muffin was delicious, not overly sweet, gluten-free, and vegan. If you're ever in Downtown Toronto, check this place out; you'll love it.

Sebastien Rahman

REALLY GOOD coffee, I ordered an oat Cortado and it was made very well. Also grabbed a gluten-free muffin which was fresh and fantastic. Great vibes too, love the atmosphere and music inside. Highly recommend!

Vlad Nabok

Great coffee ☕️ shop in the Beaches area. Lots of gluten-free and low carbon snacks. Really enjoyed their espresso. The location is great too. Nice outside bench for people watching in the Beach. Highly recommend and would definitely comeback when I am in the area.

Jonathan Lowe

Food was fresh and delicious. Celiac safe protocols. Yay!!

Bryan B

Delicious food, good variety, great gluten-free options, including several desserts! Brownie was quite good.

Michaela Storoschuk

Had a work night dinner with some out of country guests and oh my goodness did this restaurant went above and beyond. Attentive service, fully could accommodate the menu for each dietary allergy (dairy and gluten), and had an amazing variety of options from land sea and farm. A bit of a spend but it was worth it for a lovely night out, and the ambiance was divine.

Lauryn

Not to be missed! This is an incredible Royal Thai restaurant with a beautifully done menu and great atmosphere. The food was absolutely incredible - even items I don’t usually enjoy like caviar were amazing and done to perfection. We loved every single dish. Highly recommend for a date night, anniversary, or birthday dinner. I have 8 food allergies including Celiac (gluten free, dairy free, soy free, peanut free and more) and they accommodated and adjusted the menu so I could enjoy the meal! If you’re a foodie, you need to go here to experience a Royal Thai cuisine meal. The attention to detail was amazing!

Jenny Yi

I love this treasure of a coffee shop/bakery on Bloor. It is a combination of an old fashioned coffee shop with old fashioned pricing and atmosphere with modern gluten free offerings. It is so unpretentious and authentically '90s that we cant help but cherishing it for what it is! We've only tried drinks and snacks, but they also offer other foods which we will try very soon.

Marko Andjelkovic

enjoyed the gluten free pizza and afagatto

Eileen Lau

I've been here a few times for brunch and to get their pastries. There is some seating inside but the patio is much larger. I got one of their bagel sandwiches (big new Yorker) with a side and it was pretty average, they didn't give me much salmon. Price was on par with a nicer brunch spot. I've also had their chocolate croissants, it was pretty big and inexpensive, but nothing special. They have gluten free and matzo (kosher) options too Service is ok

Matthew Mason

They have always been very accommodating for our reservations (placing us in a spot that would best suit dinner with our young daughter) and careful with my wife's allergies (main one is celiac/no gluten). The food has been great and the service is top-notch. We love it there.

Tatiana Grigorieva

Friendly service. Good variety of gluten free pastries.

Cassia Attard

Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The pistachio is to die for. Same with the Sicilia flavour (mascarpone and pistachio). The vegan chocolate is amazing. They’re so friendly and let you sample 2 flavours. They have so much other stuff too - cakes, cannolies, pies, gluten free cookies.

Ilyssa S

A hidden gem! Love this place! They are so friendly and great customer service. The food & drinks are fresh and delicious. They have gluten free options too :)

Keiko Nakazawa

A shop that serves delicious organic coffee and gluten-free cakes. A cute Japanese girl was working the cash register! There is a wide variety of black tea leaves and it would make a great souvenir!

Samantha Julien

As someone with a gluten sensitivity, finding a bakery that caters to my dietary needs while still delivering delicious treats has been quite a challenge. However, I am so thankful I have found XO Bisous! Whether you have dietary restrictions or not, this bakery deserves a visit. I am grateful for their dedication to crafting high-quality gluten-free desserts.

Claire Maclean

Vegan gelato and GLUTEN FREE cones! The folks who work there are sweethearts! An awesome addition to the Danforth!

Cassandra Velasquez

Needed a sugar free dessert for my boyfriend’s diabetic mother and decided to order from here! Cupcakes were delivered in wonderful packaging and were surprisingly tasty for no sugar and are also keto! Highly recommend this place for those who can’t have sugar and can only consume anything gluten free :)!

Gifty Dickson

gluten free tuna sandwich, delicious. I love the home fries. cozy atmosphere. Best Gluten free sandwich.

Kash Arora

Great service, and good food! No complaints :) I got the Mediterranean Shakshuka and the Landwer Iced Tea. The Shakshuka was pretty standard although I wish it was a bit warmer because the eggs were a tad bit too runny. I got the Shakshuka with gluten free bread but it was just standard grocery store toast lol. However, the tea was delicious and refreshing! No wait time on a weekday lunch which was SO surprising considering this place is always packed. Highly recommend joining the waitlist before going to the restaurant to avoid long wait times.

Lior Seidel

Fabulous GF food. Great brownies and cookies!

Hello Beast

Loved the catering I got - really fresh and delicious gluten free options. The energy and protein balls were a highlight. The smoothies were excellent, serving sizes large for everything. Highly recommend!

Mika Lough

I ordered cupcakes and cookies from The Sweet Escape for my wedding in the Distillery. They were an absolute delight to correspond with, very organized and even suggested doing special matching wedding sprinkles on all my different cupcake flavours for no extra charge. Also I was so happy to find gluten free, vegan options for my guests with dietary restrictions. I would order through them again in a heartbeat and not to mention our guests loved the desserts, they were delicious!

Judith O'Donoghue

We were there for a Christmas work party. We need to eat gluten free. I had a seafood pasta ( gluten free) which was chock full of shrimp, squid, scallops, mussels and clams. Delicious. My husband had a steak that melted in your mouth. The service was excellent. We also enjoyed Caprese salad with cherry tomatoes. It was bursting with flavour. Great atmosphere too.

The home Office

Great staff. Huge selection of dessert! If your gluten free this is your spot

Zach Bishop

Delicious food, excellent service, and a beautiful restaurant! The pizza is the closest I've had to the flavors of Naples, and they even offer gluten-free options. I brought the whole family, and we all had a fantastic time!

Nadim Kara

Friendly service, large clean bathroom, vegan and gluten free treats her selection of teas

Natascha Malta

The food is great, something for everyone from your gluten free friend to the burger lover in your family. The mac n cheese is perfection. Also love that the washrooms are accessible, and the staff is always great about accommodating food sensitivities. My favourite place to go after a show.

Johnette Mannato

Visiting Toronto from the USA. Had the gf chocolate chip cookie as well as the gluten free kitchen sink bar. They were fantastic. The coffee was also very good.

Vibusha V

I don’t know about best coffee ever. I would say it’s just okay but that might be my fault for ordering a latte at place with “black coffee” in the name. I found it to not be strong enough and tasted mostly of milk. I also got a gluten free date bar that I didn’t realize was gluten free until after. It was really dry and didn’t hold together at all but again that might be my fault. There’s also not a lot of seating available; just the one big table and a few stools.
