Great spot, and better than most other dairy-free/gluten-free baking in Vancouver. Their vegan cakes + cupcakes are especially good - about as close as you can get to a dairy cake in terms of texture and flavour
Charming spot with a lovely vibe, perfect for families, offering a welcoming experience for those with dietary restrictions.

Wonderful food and service. They accommodated our son's peanut and tree nut allergies with ease and were so kind about it, which doesn't always happen. Such a cute vibe and location. Would come again and recommend especially to allergy families (also very gluten friendly)!

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating.
Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not.
Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Delicious vegetarian menu including several signature concoctions and several dishes which are also gluten free, or vegan or vegan option. Every food dish is healthy here. At least everything here is served with healthy intent. I only say this because they do serve beer and wine also.
This cozy spot offers a fresh and clean take on healthy bowls, perfect for a quick and fulfilling meal, though be prepared for slow internet and no restrooms.

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too.
I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city!
But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

Really friendly service. Great atmosphere. Great location. Great gluten free options. Good vegetarian food. It is on the pricey side- that would be my only negative. Think Steak prices for a mushroom dish. I would go again.

A great breakfast or brunch spot with a lot of Americana and Canadiana on every inch of the walls!
I really enjoy their Eggs Rancheros or Eggs Mexicana. Try their in-house hot sauce with your food (which you can also buy).
For you gluten free people, you can sub in gluten free toast for an extra charge and it's actually better than the regular toast!

Maenam used to be my favourite spots pre-covid.
There food was delicious, like no other, and they gave good portions sizes.
Even pre-covid this place was not cheap, but the price you paid matched the quality of service and food, so it didn't matter.
This time, such a disappointment.
Me and a friend came by to celebrate my belated birthday dinner a few weeks ago, and it was such a let down, that I'm writing this review a few weeks later.
Cost was $130.00 CAD for 1 Soup, 1 appetizer, 2 entrées and rice.
The soup was good, the meatball appetizer definitely NOT WORTH IT.
The entrées were TINY, FLAVORLESS, and DRY. Could have basically just been an appetizer. We ordered: Squid, and stir-fried beef.
In addition, before they used to make the Pad-Thai gluten-free and now they don't, only offering the vegan version.
Why would I pay $26 for Pad Thai that has no meat?
Not worth the price for the amount of food and quality we received.
Maenam, you've lost a loyal customer.

A great place for sweet treats and coffee/tea. There's a good selection of baked goodies - cookies, bars, cakes, breads and scones for all occasions. It was worth the drive after reading the reviews.
Food: 5/5 - we tried the brownie (gluten free) and blackberry lemon bar. Our favourite was the brownie. Both were tasty and fresh. If you need a cake for a special occasion, they have whole cakes and loaves available. The prices were reasonable considering it was good quality. They had a couple of samplings near the cash register.
Atmosphere: 5/5 - seating is available with a nice vibe to the place
Service: 5/5 - servers were friendly.
I'll be back to try their other tasty treats.

I have attempted to eat here twice now in the last 4 months.
First attempt: came in 40 mins before close to get three slices to-go. The lady behind the counter was already counting the cash and slammed down the money in her had and was very outwardly frustrated at me wanting something. Left immediately.
Second attempt: I come in mid day and there’s only three types of pie, and one ended up mis-labeled, so two (gluten free). I still decided to get one slice from them and asked for it to be heated and add whipped cream “we’re out of whipped cream” in a pie shop???? Then I asked for a cup of tea, and when I go to pay it’s over $18 for one small slice of pie and one cup of tea. I asked if a mistake had been made. The server stated the tea is $6. This is just earl grey, it’s not a fancy frothed milk concoction. $6!? Then the pie is obviously $13 for a small slice. I said I didn’t want either anymore.
I ended up going down the road a little to Breka and having such a lovely piece of gf mouse cake with a very fancy drink and taking 3 donuts home for my husband. All 5 products came out to the same price as a piece of pie and a plain cup of tea! Highly recommend going to Breka instead!
Expect a deliciously authentic experience with a great variety of options that cater to every craving, served up in a vibrant atmosphere.

Three of us waited about an hour in the cold to get inside. I love the vibe inside, I got a good but not outstanding gluten-free meal, service was good but I’m jot sure the whole experience is worth the hour wait outside
I usually love noodle box but this location service was terrible. I am a celiac and the kitchen mixed up my order. When I pointed the same the manager Romy was absolutely unapologetic and in fact rude about how it was a small mistake. Very disappointed about utter disregard for food allergies.

Got a sandwich here for lunch. Food was great, decor and atmosphere are nice if a bit quirky. They offer gluten-free bread for sandwiches which I enjoyed!
Both times I visited there was no one at the counter when I arrived which was a bit awkward. The second time I waited for a while and then ended up leaving because no one arrived.
Totally vegan heaven with generous portions and delicious treats, making it a must-visit for plant-based food lovers!

The staff at W. BROADWAY consistently screw up orders that endanger people with celiac health allergies. What’s the point of offering gluten free buns when almost every single time we order gluten free, we almost always get buns with gluten that make my partner unwell?! This is a MAJOR health concern for someone who is seriously celiac and accidentally eats gluten due to Tera staff’s carelessness. Not only can they not eat the food, but we just wasted a good amount of money only for them to go hungry.
Not only that, but when we walked in to pick up our order tonight, the person behind the counter was on her phone and didn’t even turn around until I cleared my throat.
Two stars for good menu, minus two stars for consistently screwing up the gluten-free orders, minus one star for slow and poor service.
Cozy vibes with flavorful dishes and generous portions make this spot a must-visit, well worth the drive!

Delicious Thai with plenty of celiac friendly GF options. I found my Pad Thai BKK (I think I got it right, but don't quote me) was flavourful and the portion was huge for the price. The dine-in experience was cozy and the staff were friendly and engaging. It was worth the drive!

Thank you Lily!
I recently had to go gluten free for medical issues. Even the cross contamination from products processed in the same factory as wheat might make me sick. So I've gotten paranoid about food I haven't prepared myself. And have become one of those customers that asks annoyingly in-depth questions about food and drink preparation (do you know how stupid it feels to have to ask about gluten in beverages because even a couple droplets from splashed beer could make me sick? What kind of lunatic asks if margaritas are gluten free? Me. That's who). Lily was kind about answering my questions and reassured me that the kitchen takes medical dietary issues seriously. She was really attentive despite her full section and never seemed to be in a rush, giving every table the same amicable service. Sometimes you can see when someone is giving great service but is emotionally checked out deep down (I can't blame them. I've bartended), but Lily genuinely felt like she cared about each of the people in her section.
The food came out in perfectly reasonable time considering we were there during dinner rush and it was delicious! I can tell within 10-15 minutes if I'm going to be sick and I'm pleased to say that not only was there no problem with the food, but I'm eating my leftovers now. So much for having lunch tomorrow lol
I've been several times before I got sick and had to cut out gluten and the enchiladas were my go to. I'm SO grateful I can still enjoy them. Only thing that wasn't perfect was the noise level. I can't blame them. It's a large, popular restaurant. So we sat on the patio where it was quieter and we could dance in our chairs to the music.

Carlo and his team catered my wedding last weekend at the UBC Botanical Garden, and I couldn't be happier with their service. From the first time I inquired, Carlo was extremely kind, polite and professional. We stopped by the restaurant and they kindly hosted us for a tasting. Of course everything was delicious and we knew it would be such a fun idea to serve at the wedding.
We were on a tight budget and the catering price is extremely reasonable. My communication with Carlo leading up to the event was pleasant, and the event itself went off without a hitch. The guests LOVED the pizza - everything tasted great. The staff were nice. The pop-up tent with the mini ovens on-site is really cool since guests get to watch them cook, and know that they are fresh from the oven.
Carlo met a few of my requests like providing gluten-free pizza crusts, and bringing pizza boxes for extra pizzas to leave with us after we determined that my guest count had dipped below the minimum amount needed to book.
THANK YOU - I'm so glad I found you guys, thank you for helping to make my wedding so special :)

Good ramen but not sure I'd wait almost an hour again next time. My friend and I put our name in around 1:30pm on a Saturday and were told to expect at least 75 minutes. We ended up getting a table around an hour later. It's nice they have the text system so it gives you a chance to walk around 4th Avenue.
I had the negi-goma ramen and added a soft boiled egg. My friend is gluten free and got the classic ramen with the vegan soup and gluten free noodles. She told me ramen danbo is the only ramen place in the city that she's been able to order gluten free noodles. Surpringly the ramen took a while to be served. Not sure if they had to make the vegan broth or get the GF noodles. My broth was really good and had a good sesame flavour. Noodles were good texture, unfortunately they forgot my egg. But I noticed a server and they brought one out on the side quickly. The egg was cooked perfectly and the yolk was nice and jammy.
I enjoyed it overall and would go again to try the classic ramen.
Amazing vibe with an extensive authentic Mexican menu; the tortilla soup and battered fish tacos are standout favorites!

I will start by saying this is some of the best Mexican food in Vancouver. Each dish was packed full of flavour with generous portions...but the service...was terrible.
I'm not sure if it was the staff on the particular Friday night we went but, I've never experienced such terrible service.
The staff were friendly but ridiculously slow and forgetful.
It started with when we arrived. We were left standing at the door for 5 minutes while the door staff pottered around doing seemingly nothing, fixing lights and what not. The place had multiple empty tables too, we still had to wait in the cold to be seated.
The women who took our order started to take it, once we listed out appys she just turned around and walked away...said absolutely nothing and didn't come back. It took 5 minutes to flag down someone to take the rest of our order.
We thought it was random misunderstanding and enjoyed our appetizers. But it took 55 minutes from us finishing our appetizers to get the main course, and when we got it, we needed to request cutlery twice.
During that almost hour, our glasses were regularly empty, and it was difficult to flag staff down to request a refill, and once we did, it took even longer to get the next glass.
I usually wouldn't complain about something like this only for the place was half empty, the staff stood in the hallway to the kitchen chatting and it wasn't just one staffer, it was multiple bad interactions.
We paid almost $150 for food and drinks and only for the food was that good I'd be leaving 1 star.
Please speak with and train your staff, your food is too good to have such poor service.
I really want to come back and try more, if there is guaranteed better service, especially because almost everything on the menu is gluten free which is rare in Vancouver.
This spot boasts contemporary Canadian cuisine and farm-to-table dining, plus a MICHELIN nod, making it a local favorite for good reason.

Had brunch with a larger group and the menu accommodated many dietary choices. Vegan, gluten free ect. Falafel, lunch platters, desserts were all delicious. A great new find in Kitsilano.
Delicious food, great service, interesting atmosphere and fantastic prices.
I had the gluten free BLT 🥪 it came with fries and salad for under $16, it was such a good portion that I had two meals out of it!
Nice atmosphere and location. But my partner is coeliac. And they were not very accommodating. When ordering food, said they could meet allergy requirements. But then when food was being served, they informed half of the dish was not gluten free. And substitutes were inadequate. Was still charged full price and extra for gluten free bread with no apology from staff, which would have been nice. So if coeliac, would not currently recommend until further improvements are implemented.

My go-to place for Greek take out. I love their traditional recipes, especially the Greek salad! Convenient location on 4th makes it an easy stop via transit. Recommend the prawn souvlaki. If you are gluten-free, you can ask for extra Greek salad instead of the bread that comes with the souvlaki.

Amazing experience, the whole idea is awesome, unique and inspiring! Hiring the visually disabled is something a company should get more applause for doing! Joe was awesome and funny! Our needs were met! I had a gluten allergy and had no problem finding gluten free stuff on the menu, they can change pretty much everything to be gluten free! My only real complaint is that the prices were super high and the food was a solid 7.5/10 which isn’t bad at all! It’s more for the experience and I’m so happy with everything!

Amazing food, it's incredible and is worth the not too high price. I personally can't eat many things in other restaurants because I am celiac. But this place offers many gluten-free options, as well as buns for any sandwich you would want, so it makes you feel like you can have basically everything.
