Such a wonderful place! An oasis in tourist hell. Everything is delicious, gluten-free, dairy-free, and even vegan. The people are super friendly and the place, especially with the garden in the back, is absolutely beautiful! Thank you!!

My daughter was in Heaven. She got the ham and cheese croissant, the traditional custard pastry, the chocolate croissant, and a small sugar croissant and it was all delicious!! I wished we would have known about this place on the first day of getting here. I’m glad we tried it out. The prices are great as well.

Brunch, lunch, snacks

Certified 100% gluten free and delicious

Unfortunately my family and I, we arrived at the closing time so was not possible for us to dinner there. Judging on how well the deserves and salads looks, I can say that it’s a really good place for Celiac people. Come on, they have their own Celiac version of a “Francesinha”!!! What’s motivates me to drop my review here was the absolute empathy of the owner who gets us to a neighbours restaurant that also sell gluten free food, we need more people in the world like him. My eternal gratitude to him. Thanks you!

Cotufagra

The best vegan chocolate cupcake I have ever tried! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. All products are gluten free too. It was my favourite spot in town <3

Jenny Griesser

Great service, efficient, fast, and friendly! Excellent and original smoothie! Incredible pancakes *_* Gluten-free, vegan, and lactose-free options

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hello, Paulina! We have several gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. From tapioca, salads, smoothie bowls, shakshuka, pancakes, etc. We'd also like to inform you that all toasts can be served on gluten-free bread or with a baked sweet potato base instead of traditional bread. You can see our menu at: https://www.zenithcaffe.pt/EmentaZenithPT.pdf // https://www.zenithcaffe.es/MENU_ZENITH_ES_ENG.pdf   However, given that all the products are made in the same kitchen and that we have very limited space, we can't guarantee 100% that there won't be any cross-contamination, even though we take every possible precaution. To date we have never had any reported incidents    If you come to visit us, we suggest that you inform the manager immediately when you order, so that we can take extra care.  We hope to see you soon, Zenith team "

Very nice brunch at Noshi! We enjoyed the ambiance and natural lighting of the patio, and you also have a couple of different options of where to sit down. We ordered a couple of drinks and food. The golden milk was on the sweeter side so keep that in mind! Also, even though the orange juice said natural, I felt that they had added sugar to it. We also ordered the vegan toast, delicious gluten free bread, wonderful balance of flavors and textures, we both enjoyed it very much. We also got the chia pudding which was great as well, nice proportions of fruit and jam. The service was alright. Attention was a little slow, maybe it was busy, and our server had little patience with us that day when I was asking questions, but thats alright. Would definitely return to try more goodies!

Exceptional! Was a very nice surprise today :) we were looking for a cozy coffee place to escape the rain and found this cute bistro ran by a lovely couple on Google maps. We ended up eating and trying some snacks and were blown away to find that they were not only vegan, but gluten free, too! The coffee was tasty and the vibe was right. We will for sure come back. Thanks for the nice afternoon :)

Iris Lys

Excellent food, friendly servers who communicate easily in several languages, and a short wait that was quickly forgotten. Be careful, there are no gluten-free options.

Maiju S

Everything is glutenfree. Very good service.

Mia Nielsen

It has all the gluten-free options, and everything is delicious. The custard tarts are highly recommended.

Mia Uu

It's incredibly delicious, everything's vegan, there are plenty of gluten-free options, the service is friendly, and everything looks beautiful! What can I say, it was amazing! Absolutely recommended!

Saioa

I booked on this site because I had read it recommended on Google. The truth is that the restaurant is very cool and they have a lot of varieties of French dishes: gluten-free, vegetarian... everything looked very good. We order the normal and the pure. The truth is that we expected something more, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it's the best franceshina I've ever eaten in my life. The treatment was very good and the atmosphere was very cool.

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them to find out in advance if they could accommodate my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back " Dear Paulina,  Thank you for reaching out.  We would very much like to have you, and there are a few options on our menu that might be suitable, but we are afraid that our production environment may not be 100% safe for your requirements, as we have only one area where everything is prepared. Thus, we cannot guarantee the absence of cross contamination. We don't have a certified gluten-free kitchen, and even with the attention and rigor we put in our operation, we fear that the risk may be unacceptable for you."

Clara

I had an amazing glutenfree cupcake and sandwich! Lovely place and super friendly staff!

Graeme Wheatley

Great cafe with top-notch coffee and food. The pancakes are amazing for breakfast, just make sure that you are hungry. Also they have a brilliant selection of gluten free and vegan cakes.

Eva Polliart

Discovered this brunch in the old town of Aljezur. A nice hippie atmosphere, but not very cozy if you want to feel comfortable while eating 😅 Very good acai bowl granola, as well as the gluten-free banana bread. Lots of vegan and gluten-free options, which are pretty good!

Teresa Tong

Decent offering of gluten & sugar free desserts, with the option of being lactose free and vegan. The outlet mainly create larger cakes and offer frozen food for sale🎂 Dining in is possible, with very limited seating available only outdoor. Indoor seating is somewhat used as an office and seminar room for cake and pastry workshop. Taste for both Lasagna and apple tart are decent in taste. Coffee ☕️ (decaf) was average. Wifi is available. Service is attentive. Portuguese command is highly advantageous for a smooth experience, as the staffs speaks close to zero English.

Nazareno Ostorero

Very good atmosphere and better food. But they charged me €10 for two slices of gluten-free bread (we ordered the mixed board that comes with regular bread, we wanted it to be without bread and order the extra gluten-free bread that cost €2, but they offered to make the change directly without telling us about the disproportionate surcharge). A great pity

Emily Palmer

First of all, the coffee is exceptional, this is an absolute must-visit (every morning) for a great cuppa. Next up is the vegan treats! My son is allergic to eggs and dairy and has had a really tough time finding anything he can have, I was amazed to find the bakery section was all either vegan or gluten free. Cue very excited 3 year old to be included! The staff have been extremely welcoming, even when I've been turning up at opening on the dot to have a coffee before work! (Sorry!) There is a genuinely lovely collection of staff so very kind and inclusive. Ohh AND - the list goes on, I know - you can also work from here. It's not overly crowded, a real-life hidden gem with great coffee, great staff and a quiet place to work.

María Filgueira

It's super good, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. One drawback is that if you're celiac or gluten-intolerant, it's quite exhausting to be charged the difference and an extra 1 euro. It just doesn't make sense. Otherwise, everything is delicious, the atmosphere is super nice, and so is the place.

S K

Very glutenfree friendly

Paula P

Very, very delicious sandwiches and burgers. The best thing is that they can be adapted to suit celiacs, as they have gluten-free bread (although it's regular sandwich bread, not the typical Madeira bread that the gluten-free options offer). The fries are simple but very good and also gluten-free. However, we had to wait a long time for our food, even though the place wasn't particularly busy. Still, the waiter was very pleasant, and despite the terrace being on a busy street, it's very quiet.

Sofia Trujillo R.

A very good option for breakfast and for people with celiac disease too! You cannot reserve, so arrive early since the place is not very big, we only had to wait 5 minutes for a table. We decided on toast with eggs that were very juicy, with avocado, and we wanted to try the cheese and cold cuts tasting board, the pumpkin jam was delicious. A good option for the tourist area.

Lenki Szpojnarowicz

Delicious gluten free brownie!! Lovely little hike treat. great service and seating outdoor with toilets, coffee, drinks and lots of cakes.

AJ Baron

A gem worth visiting! Good food, beautiful cafes, and friendly service. Had gluten free bread for my love. Everything was great.

Emma Andrew

Exceptionally Gluten Free friendly! I had the gluten free wrap (which is hard to find often even in the UK)! They can change almost all breads wraps burger buns etc. It was exactly what we wanted. Lovely staff

Tiziana Vieira

A place with gluten-free and lactose-free products. I loved it 😍 I recommend it!

Maria Laura

Sweet and savory delights, vegan and gluten-free options. Excellent service. Somewhat high prices.

Paulina Kasongo

I emailed them about my allergies and about cross contamination and they emailed back "Hi Paulina, cross contamination may occur in the kitchen"

Ricardo Mendonça

Good energy! Vegan/gluten-free concept! Soups; salads; pancakes; wonderful homemade cakes... And so many other fantastic things! And of course, a carefully selected bookstore! Friendly and cheerful service! It could only be Insensato! Thank you!

Natalia Tatarka

Lovely place for brunch with friendly staff and a great menu - bonus points for gluten free options!

Faye Moore

Lovely cafe. No options for gluten free, not even bread so one of our group couldn’t have anything unfortunately

Iris Lys

Everything was very good and original. It would benefit from adding some gluten-free savory dishes. We will be happy to come back!

Scott Handelman

Fantastic place! The best gluten-free and vegan options we've found in the Algarve region! It's a really cool shop, too!

Kane Robert Hoskins

Great option for gluten free cone. Great place would highly recommend!!

M S

Following from a recommendation from a friend in Saudi Arabia, we popped into this cafe for brunch. Stylish and chilled out decor, amazing food and hands down the best coffee in the Algarve!! A must visit when in Albuferia.. Super friendly and welcoming staff, very knowledgeable on gluten free.. 10 stars all the way🌟

Camila Kestelboim

Mercador Café & Brunch in Porto is a gem for those looking for a cozy place with a modern atmosphere. The service was super friendly and fast. I enjoyed a delicious açaí with fruits, which was fresh and very well presented. 🍓🫐 In addition, they offer gluten-free bread, which is a great plus for those who need it. Their coffee is excellent and perfect to accompany their varied menu, which includes fresh and healthy dishes. 🥑🍳 The decoration of the place is elegant, ideal for relaxing or having a good time. Although the prices may be a little high, the quality justifies it. Without a doubt, a place that I recommend for a quiet and tasty brunch in the heart of Porto.

Veronica Lax

So thrilled to find this vegetarian place with homemade gluten free bread which was delicious. Very cute atmosphere by the river with a beautiful lemon tree. A little oasis.

Ana Belén

I loved this bar for gluten-free and vegan breakfast!!! We went twice during our trip to Porto and we will return for sure, thank you very much for giving us options for those of us who have dietary restrictions. The place was also very nice.

Nikki M

incredible brunch with welcoming staff and gluten-free options, a must in Lisbon. The gluten-free bread was one of the best ive ever tried, fluffy and dense which is extremely rare to find!

Stela Ilicic

Sunrays kitchen is a truly cozy spot with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was exceptional—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. What impressed me the most were their gluten-free desserts, which were absolutely delicious!

Fantastic food & quality! (tuna tacos are simply AMAZING!). Tasty gluten free beer. Super efficient & friendly servers. One of the best places to eat in Porto!

Almost everything is gluten-free. And it tastes delicious, with generous portions that fill you up. The staff is, as always, fantastic 🌞definitely go!

Jennifer Hardt

Delicious eggs benedict with gluten free option of having it served on a hash-brown instead of bread. Well-prepared iced latte, iced chai and cherry lime lemonade. Plus a very pleasant and helpful server as well who kindly brought us a bowl of water for our dog. Recommend!

Laia Tomàs-Rodó

Everything was delicious! Excellent and very friendly service. Gluten-free options.

Ana Silva

Incredible Vegan Space! Gluten and sugar FREE options! Amazing service, super attentive staff and the atmosphere is truly incredible! They have MBWay. And take-away! The only place in Aveiro where I can find vegan, gluten-free and no added sugar birthday cakes! My favorite place! 🤍

Camille Duchaussoy

A great place for friends. The dishes are excellent, the servers are very attentive, and despite a 10:30 p.m. reservation, we were very well received and ate very well (even gluten free). Thank you
