Not celiac safe. Cross contamination.

Christine Howlett

Gluten-free bakery and confirmed no wheat cross-contamination.

Amazing gluten-free/vegan treats!

Always LOVE Sansho Sushi, and visit often. They are always busy with dine-in and take out orders, which tells you it’s a great spot. Never had to wait for a table though, and the staff are always friendly & attentive no matter the time or day. Excellent selection of boxes and special items. The highlight is the gluten free menu!! Super thankful for a sushi spot that offers so many gluten free options- including teriyaki!! I love their chicken teriyaki roll, V4 roll (vegetable) and spicy salmon roll. The miso soup is also Gf and delicious.

What a fantastic place to have dinner! The service was outstanding—worthy of 10 stars—and the food was simply divine. There are many gluten-free options available, including a dedicated gluten-free menu. We ordered the nachos, and wow, I never thought nachos could taste this good! Every meal that was served was absolutely mouthwatering.

Tasty gluten free and vegan “twinkies”

David Bierce

Amazing food. gluten free accommodations well explained. Food amazing!!!

Sara Norman

Cassandra is a peach! I have a gluten allergy and she was very accommodating and personally made sure my meal was safe for me!

Melanie E

White We came here for a quick lunch as we knew the food was reliable. They didn’t disappoint as we all gobbled up our food after a day of moving. We ordered the seafood fettuccine, beef dip & avocado impossible burger. The avocado burger was a nice change & wouldn’t hesitate to order it again. With all burgers you can choose to have it wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun. There’s gluten free past too. Service was decent considering they were busy & short staffed. Great experience!

Justin Malhi

Gluten free options that are actually good! Very tasty and satisfying meal! Everything was delicious!

I tried Captain’s Oven Pizza for the first time and went with their gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect because gluten-free crusts can sometimes be dry or too chewy, but this one was actually really good. It had a nice texture crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and it didn’t fall apart like some gluten-free pizzas do. The vegan cheese was a pleasant surprise too! It melted well and had a nice taste without that weird artificial flavor some dairy free cheeses have. The toppings were fresh, and they didn’t overload the pizza, so everything felt well-balanced instead of heavy. Overall, I really enjoyed it! It’s not always easy to find a good gluten-free and dairy-free pizza, but Captain’s Oven Pizza did a great job and is my go to spot.

Came here for brunch shortly after they opened at 10 am on a Saturday. Had their Tan Tan Ramen (non-spicy version). It was tasty! The gluten-free version comes with rice noodles instead of the regular homemade noodles. The butternut squash broth was tasty! It was definitely on the thinner, lighter side, and not as rich as your traditional ramen broth (which we expected). The kale and nut medley were good textural additions! They also sell a variety of plant-based treats at the front counter, and refrigerated and pantry items. I picked up a rice crispy treat to-go. Staff bring you the food, but diners clear their own table. Friendly service and there is lots of street parking in the area! I came to use my Plant Curious coupon, but also knew of the café previously having purchased their mochi cake mix (by The Plant Based Workshop) at an event last year. I don't live in the area, but would recommend and would be happy to return again!

St Andrews charges $4.25 for a cookie and $4.75 for a Nanaimo bar. The price of the Nanaimo Bar might ‘just’ pass mustard since it’s gluten free apparently, but $4.25 for a cookie is just wrong. No wonder they don’t post prices. I think these guys are charging what the people who visit this place from other communities can afford, not what their local customers who live in a 1 block radius can afford, and/or what’s reasonable or needed for the cafe to make a decent income. Be fair and follow your morale compass guys. The rest will follow. If you want to cater to what those with higher incomes can afford, maybe give the locals a discount card upon showing the address on their license as compensation for your more wealthy “out-of-community” customers taking up the parking spots on our street. This might also preempt the locals asking for parking restrictions from council. Or maybe a local thanks for your support day for locals who live on the same street.

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

A shopping trip to North Vancouver lead us to Buddha-Full for lunch. To fully check out the menu, I clicked the Order Now button, where there are more items, and I can check 'Nut allergy' or Gluten 'allergy', select all kinds of Add Ons, check boxes on the 'No List' and the Sub menu. They are Buddha by name only – while Buddhists don't eat garlic – some of the menu items here contain garlic 😟. I ordered the Wild Heart Bowl with the miso ginger sauce, substituting stewed lentils with tofu, my partner ordered the Grilled Please Panini. Both looked good. I found the tofu a bit too dry and hard. The sauce was good. The sandwich was very good and so was the sourdough. We also tried the chestnut latte, but the foam milk was underwhelming. Then, I discovered that the entire 2nd shelf of their sweet treats display is gluten free. These days, because I have so many allergies, I have to check all the ingredients before I try anything, and not being to see what the sweets are made of means I didn't feel safe enough to try anything. I did buy the GF Almond Energy Bar which my partner enjoyed. Most of their customers behave like regulars. If I live near this place, I would become a regular as well.

Veronica Khazani

It was pretty good. Since I’m gluten free, my options are limited but I can depend on Greek food to be tasty.

Ching-Ting Wu (Dini)

I love how they made many flavours to be diet inclusive. I haven’t seen soooo many options as gluten free ice-cream ever. Took 3 scoops, ended up quite full for the day and pretty satisfied. Thank you for giving me precious memories.

Paul Taylor

As a local I go here frequently, there are not a lot of choices in Deep Cove and for sure we are lucky to have Arms Reach. Although it's not as busy in the winter its enough to make the atmosphere what it needs to be for a rainy winter night - cosy. It's not the cheapest option but you know your going to have a quality dining experience and a good time, every time and that is worth the price. I do occasionally get a bit bored of the menu, but that is because I'm there quite a bit and have gluten sensitivity - and the specials do help out with some extra variety. For sure worth a visit, book in the summer or expect an hour plus wait, due to its place by the ocean in the heart of Deepcove.

Chelsea Marcantonio

So many vegan and gluten free options 😍😍😍

Briana Wiebe

The staff was so friendly, service was quick. I have celiac disease and one of the owners came out to ensure my dietary restrictions were taken into account. She brought my food to me and confirmed all precautions were taken to avoid cross contamination. The pasta was the best pasta I have ever tasted, my husband couldn’t even taste that my pasta was gluten free. Highly recommend Alberello!!

Christina Duncan

I’ve been to white spot many times in my life, but this experience was one of my favourites. We had a server named Gemma, she was fun and very sweet to my two sons. We recently discovered that one of my sons has a gluten allergy, and Gemma was very helpful in finding all the options for him, and reassuring she would let the kitchen know. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday brunch with my family.

Tracy Adams

One of my favourite pizza places. There used to be one in Vancouver close to my house, so we would go there a lot as a family. Although that location is closed now, we often stop at the North Van location when driving through. Their pizza has flavourful sauce, and is the only thin crust pizza I have had without the crust getting oily/burnt. Delicious! The reason I did not give five stars is because: -The restaurant itself is small so there is not room inside for bigger groups, and also is not air conditioned. -The gluten-free crusts are small as they are most likely pre-made. However, everything else is great!

Deanne Nielsen

Great options for gluten free diets! Hopefully some gluten free beers come into rotation soon!

We have been ordering your sandwiches for some time now and LOVE them all. We have have tried every sandwich you offer at least 3 times over. Additionally, we love your potatoe salad and the gluten free snacks. I would love to see a new sandwich on the menu to try. Or maybe a new sandwich of the week to see what sticks. I think you guys nailed this business concept and would love to see more of your sandwich ingenuity down the road.

Kate Nugent

This is the 3rd location I’ve been to that doesn’t offer gluten free. Why have it on the menu?! Such a waste of time to drive to these locations and be disappointed. Not impressed and will not be returning. This has happened several times now and as someone who is limited to gluten free options, I will be letting others know of this. Do better.

Karen Oh

Great gluten free options and an amazing staff who are very aware of cross contamination.

Although we were more recently at the Lynn Valley location (which was also great), we have had many good experiences at this location. A really big shoutout to Darcy (because even though he shared he is usually at the Upper Lonsdale location he was at the Lynn Valley location today). He was attentive and thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy and went a step beyond by providing the gluten free brownie dessert after a really lovely meal and shared how he knows it isn’t always easy to come across a nice gluten free dessert. It was such a wonderful and thoughtful detail that went a long way for us. These are moments that make a customer feel special and cared for - and unashamed despite dietary restrictions/allergies. I wish for everyone who is impacted by food allergies and restrictions to be treated with such kindness, respect, and in this case, additional generosity. Thank you, Darcy and Brown’s for a really wonderful experience.

Olivia Lang

Hands down some of the best gluten free pizza in the Metro Vancouver! Such a squishy, buttery, chewy crust that it's hard to believe it's gluten free. The brussel sprout pizza is uniquely delicious. Definitely worth the drive to Deep Cove.

Aleasha

There’s a lot of sushi options in Vancouver but that doesn’t mean they’re all good. This place was awesome. The rice was well seasoned, not overly sugary at all. The fish was all fresh and delicious (had the wild sockeye salmon ) and mind you I hardly ever eat raw fish because many places are gross! Both the veggie and fish I had was perfectly made! They also offer gluten free soy sauce! Thanks guys!

Domenic Carlucci

I am on the search for restaurants that offer GF anything. (I am not celiac). I was pleasantly surprised to see they had GF buns on offer for the burger ($3 up charge). With this up charge my expectations were high. When the burger arrived it looked unusual with white spots on the top, shriveled and flat. All for research I thought give it shot… it was horrible the bun was freezer burned, the beef in the burger was dry and bland, no sauce! thank goodness for ketchup that I added! I would say this was the worst burger ever! I let the waiter know it was horrible. His comment was I will let the “chef” know and then started to explain to me how buns get freezer burn! He missed one point it properly was at the bottom of the freezer for a VERY long time. If you can’t serve a good GF bun don’t offer it! The burger for $25 not worth the price every with out the GF. As I ate the beef only. I should have complained more but I did not A word to the chef/cook If it’s freezer burned don’t serve it!

Veronica Muniak

I dont know why the reviews are so low and I honestly don't care to read why! This place is amaaaazing! I have been several times and evertime I go I fall in love with the staff and the sweets. I personally am not a fan of sweets but when a craving hits this is my go to now. I got the gluten free, vegan cupcake (and I'm niether) and it was honestly the best cupcake I have had. . Don't knock it till you try it, and I recommend trying it 🤤

Tiffany Woods

There are few options.. their GF pasta is great!

Kayte Lawrence

Fantastic place for breakfast. They have gluten free buns, so they're able to make GF breakfast sandwiches, which was a huge bonus for me. Food was excellent, staff were great, and the tea was actually really good tea! I had English breakfast tea, expecting the usual red rose garbage, but instead, they had really nice organic tea that had colour and flavour! I'll definitely be going back again.

Rebecca Martz

We loved our dinner here. I had the salmon plate, which was Gluten free. It was cooked to perfection and the potatoes with the mustard sauce were absolutely divine. My husband had the Canadian AAA steak; mouthwatering!! It was perfect for us that it was in the Bridge park, while it may have been more pricey for that reason, it was beyond convenient!

Hsieh Karen

We came for lunch with 2 young children, and one of my boys is allergic to gluten. The staff was very friendly to let us know that they could tailor some dishes to gluten-free. Although it took a while for the dishes to be served, we really enjoyed the dishes.My boys ate lots. We also got a scoop of strawberry Gelato to go.The gelato for sure was the icing on the cake! If we are around next time, definitely would like to try out other dishes. *Excuse for the first photo, cause my kids can't wait to dig in.

Darya Ostad

Sophia was our server and she was amazing! Like a fairy that comes to your table and gives you everything you need (: Food was great — not easy to find good gluten free pizza! I like the lighting for the atmosphere. It’s a cozy and intimate spot Will def visit again.

Kitchen Star

Very nice bbq place with very friendly staff, accommodated all our gluten free needs.

Sacha Wind

Ooooh looky what I found at Delany's today: Nothing less than The Actual Factual Meaning Of Life! In a cup of deliciously warming coffee. (I wait in wonder with baited breath for when enlightenment will ensue). I am LOVING that Delany's Lynn Valley now offers a small but tasty selection of specialised dietary options in their baked goods! I am seeing a regular smattering of vegan, sugar free, or gluten free muffins, energy bars and even scones. The servers are friendly and quick on their feet, and represent the beautiful diversity our glorious nation. Keep up the good work! Five stars for this review.

Catherine McIntosh

Absolutely love this place. So many non dairy options for coffee and had a great almond milk latte. Super friendly staff! Also delicious baked goods and one of the best gluten free muffins I’ve ever had!

Aly Madhani

Love the food here. They are also good with gluten free/Celiac

Farhan Baig

Never had such great service!!! We told them this is our first time and they gave us lots of samples. Sweet or savory, something for everyone. Even gluten free cones!!

Ferial Fahim

On my third visit, I can confidently say that their Americano is excellent, and I highly recommend their homemade gluten-free Chocolate Banana Loaf. During our last visit, we enjoyed the Apple Spiced Cinnamon Loaf, along with a vegetarian egg and spinach sandwich. Overall, their pastries are delightful.

Tricia “Gigi” Jackson

If you're in Edgemont and looking for a unique sweet treat, I would highly recommend dropping by BjornBar Bakery! I'm gluten-free, so my favourite would be the Edgemont Bar. Trust me if you're in a rush and need a hostess gift, or something sweet for a party, drop in and get a box of sweet perfection to go! You'll be a big hit!

Jessica N

Delicious, fresh food and exceptional service. So glad we came in for dinner. The restaurant was kid friendly and they happily catered to vegetarian and gluten free dietary restrictions.

Ava O’Loughlin

Amazing sushi. I ordered takeout…I am a celiac and they called me saying a part of my order wasn’t able to be made gluten free, they were very helpful to come up with a substitute.

Carly Marciniak

I ordered gin and tonic for happy hour and got brought a gin and soda. I chose to just drink it because it still tasted fine. I ordered the coconut curry, I was a little disappointed that the rice wasn't gluten friendly, but they offer chopped veggies to dip. I wish I had thought to ask them to sub the rice for chickpeas after, but the curry sauce was fantastic and I felt full afterwards. Washrooms were very clean and we really enjoyed the patio space. I would dine there again for sure.

Donovan Voigt

Burgoo was able to coordinate a gluten friendly experience (celiac) over the phone when Uber failed!! Thanks so much to the wonderful person I spoke to. This tomato soup cured my depression…

Henry Friesen

Gluten-free options, so that's nice. That is where the nice ends... While I was sitting, waiting for my food, my friends joined me to wait with me with their food from another shop. Staff comes out and kicks them out. So, they stand on the sidewalk by the street, waiting for me to get my food. Staff comes out and says they cannot stand on the sidewalk. "We own the sidewalk, so you cannot stand there." Never mind the fact that my food took ten times longer than my friends' food, but now they cannot stand on a public space while I wait for my stuff? Also, never mind that my friends bought donuts here, can't mix and match, I suppose... kinda ridiculous. Rude policies. Basic food. Unfortunate vibe.

Angeline Zak

I ordered all of the vegan and gluten free menu items and the hibiscus ice tea. Everything was delish!! It was kind of fun to order at the kiosk and have food come out on the cute conveyor belt. It's a really nice dining room too, the decor is festive and tasteful. I'll be back.

Sofie McCook

Great food, gluten free options available, small or larger portions, great service. Great place for dinner!

Michelle Lackie

We love this place. Two of the three of us are celiac and are able to enjoy dinner without worrying about cross contamination. GF fryer! Highly recommended. And it is great fish and chips whether you’re celiac or not. Parham the manager is super nice and friendly.
