So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

As someone with multiple dietary restrictions, I really appreciate how clear and easy to navigate Virtue Bakery is. No guessing games, everything is labeled, and the staff behind the counter genuinely understand the ingredients. It is refreshingly straightforward without ever compromising on flavour. Their offerings include all gluten-free, and a variety of dairy-free, egg-free, and low-sugar baked goods, catering to a wide range of folks. They do have nuts on-site, goodies share a display case, however whatever is labelled as nuts has nuts in it and other stuff doesn't. A rare gem for those of us with dietary restrictions! I love the df lavender brownie and df banana bread.

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!

We always have a fresh and delicious gluten free meal at Hitoe. The service and sushi is exceptional. So happy to have Hitoe in the neighborhood!

Noah

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

Nikul Sharma

We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.

Patty Bowman

Great service and great gluten free menu!

Lindsey Johnston

Had a great first experience here today. They are especially accommodating for Gluten free options.

If this is your first time visiting Vancouver, Miku would be my top recommendations on your itinerary list for places to eat. Now, this isn't your typical sushi restaurant, in fact, I would consider this to be fine dining and here's why. When it comes to Japanese food, presentation is the most important next to customer service level, and they are bang on. I absolutely love how intricate their sushi layered to simplicity on a plate. Reminds me of a zen garden. The waiters/ waitress' are knowledgeable of their dishes being served and super friendly! Dishes are, at minimum $20, but the portions are decently sized. (Anything with Wagyu will always be expensive). They do offer gluten -free and vegetarian dishes and non alcoholic drinks. (I had their Shiso Nojito and it was the most refreshing non-alcoholic I've ever had. Not too sweet either). Overall, I would highly recommend it for first time travellers to Vancouver. It's absolutely a beautiful place to dine in!

I absolutely love The Acorn. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner or a special night out. The menu is creative and beautifully presented, offering a wide range of seasonal, locally-sourced vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Every dish feels like a work of art, bursting with flavor and texture. The service is top-notch, with knowledgeable staff who are genuinely passionate about the food and happy to accommodate dietary preferences. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just curious about plant-based cuisine, The Acorn will exceed your expectations with its innovative approach to wholesome, delicious food. The cocktails are also outstanding, with unique, well-crafted drinks that pair perfectly with the dishes. Overall, The Acorn offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you eager to return.

Probably my favourite ice cream place in Vancouver. Try to get there a couple times per summer. They have seasonal flavours that are always interesting. Had the easter egg on this last time and loved it. They list gluten and vegan friendly options and are very accommodating.

Kaley Merritt

Went there to celebrate with a group of 5 people. The wait staff were very friendly, I was greeted by each server I passed as I came in. The servers were always nearby to assist when needed and the owner was walking throughout the restaurant helping to attend to each table. The service was a 10/10 and noticeably better than most restaurants. The food was incredible and so flavourful. We ordered most of not all the appetizers to share and they were amazing. We had a vegetarian in our group and there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. They also had a variety of gluten free and dairy free options too. I will definitely be returning to try their entrees. The lamb popsicles are what I have my eye on for next time. They also had an extensive drink list which included a good variety of non alcoholic options too. Are the prices high? a bit but food costs have increased and most restaurants have had to adjust their prices for this reason. For the experience and the value of the dishes, it’s reasonable. The ambience of the restaurant was nice and dimly lit. We all enjoyed our time there and I will definitely be going back again soon!

cheap food, cheap drinks, lots of gluten free options, looks like it's stuck in time, I loved it and would absolutely come back

Joelly Segal

Easily my favourite go to restaurant for my family. Menu is extensive and reliable. My son is celiac and they take extra care always and have lots for him to choose from.

I had been given a few coupons for some free ice cream, and wanted to finally come see what the fuss was about. Upon my fiancée and I getting there, we were pleased to see the different available flavors and styles clearly marked with their respective allergens. As my partner has Celiac's disease, it was important to avoid gluten, but the staff member at the counter was able to keep is informed clearly about any gluten risk, and was even able to use my 'free scoop' coupon to go towards a pint to take home! Great experience, and FANTASTIC ice cream. The London Fog is very worth trying.

Tina Nguyen

Friendly staff and all the food is tasty, vegan, and most are gluten free too. My favourites are the smoothies!

Anouk

This place is dangerous for my bank account. They serve multiple addicting flavors on a rotating basis. Shoutout to Spruce Bud, which tastes like a Christmas tree in ice cream form and gives me such painful childhood nostalgia that I should probably discuss it with my therapist. The oat and brown sugar flavor is also great. There doesn’t seem to be a limit on samples here (unlike at other places), which is great for an indecisive person like me. The shop is almost always crowded and staff do a good job of keeping things moving. Vegan and gluten free options are available and common allergies are posted on the affected flavors.

Laura O'Reilly

Fantastic place for an authentic Rajasthani experience. Vegan & glutenfree thali was scrumptious. Perfectly spiced chai served in a kulhad. Hearty servings of a variety of foods. Friendly service with all the information you need. Worth the drive to Vancouver

Veronica

Came here after dinner for take out cheesecake one night. Options were limited to basic mix and match toppings and two bases of cheesecake. The cheesecake portion was ok but the biggest disappointment was NO CRUST. So the texture was very one note. I’m assuming they do this to accommodate gluten free customers, but I think it would be better to do gluten free crust ingredients. Didn’t feel like a proper cheesecake.

Billy Muir

Many gluten-free options available and the smoothies are satisfying.

Ramzi Karam

Wide choice of desserts and hot beverages- limited gluten free options though

Cecile Dubois-Herry

Just had an amazing quick lunch there, it was supposed to just be a coffee but they have gluten-free crepes, had no idea. The flour was tasty (oat based, organic), the haloumi/pesto/sun-dried tomatoes/spinach combo perfect. I'm used to the buckwheat ones so it was a nice surprise, so was the strawberry/pistachio/clotted cream smoothie to go. The prices are very fair and the service excellent, I'm absolutely going back for more!

Alysia Duemler

All the locations are top notch 5 stars. Love the gluten-free and while not strictly kosher, certainly very kosher-style friendly, vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options. Delicious and nice staff everywhere. Support Jewish food!

I was very disappointed with my recent experience. I purchased a rainbow cake on Sunday for a birthday party, and the quality fell far below expectations. The cake was stale, the icing lacked flavor, and parts of the sheet pan were burnt. Unfortunately, no one at the party, including the children, wanted to eat it. Given the price of the cake, I expected far better quality. To address the issue, I returned the cake to the store and was informed that the manager was unavailable but would contact me on Monday. When I didn’t hear back, I called, only to be told once again that the manager was unavailable. I then visited the store in person, but by that point, the cake had already been discarded without being tasted. The manager also declined to take any responsibility for the situation. I’ve given an additional star because the cake was ready on time at the agreed location and the vegan gluten-free cupcakes we ordered for our dietary constrained guests were fine. The lack of accountability and the dismissive handling of this situation have left me deeply disappointed.

Tl;dr: be careful ordering if you're Celiac Breka's food and drinks are great, if a bit spendy. That's not in dispute. Their breads are amazing, the Bienenstich is top tier (we're from Germany and have grown up with this cake), their donut game is dope. The service and atmosphere leaves a little to be desired. The latter is the fault of them being an exceedingly popular location with inadequate parking and a small space for how intensely popular. I get why they haven't moved; it's the flagship location and if you're from the neighbourhood you know the history of the location so moving would be a bad choice. The service though...yeah I'm left with the impression that their hiring managers perhaps have a bit of an implicit or explicit policy of hiring international students who are likely a bit vulnerable/naive to local labour laws. It's not like I'm sitting here going, "they're taking our jobs!", naw. I'm sitting here going, "jeez, I hope they're not taking advantage of their staff". HUGE NOTE for Celiacs. If your autoimmune disorder isn't so bad that you're able to walk into a non-GF bakery, be advised their GF items are often on the bottom shelf of their display case. I politely suggested they keep their GF items on the top shelf so there is a lower likelihood of crumbs from non-GF items falling into the GF items. The gentleman at the till rolled his eyes, said, "really?" (his voice dripping with disbelief and a complete lack of caring) and then told me my total. Listen, I get that it's perhaps unreasonable to expect a non-GF bakery to not have any cross contamination with their GF items, but maybe at least try? Also, I'm not 100% convinced their mango coconut mousse is, in fact, GF. I'm not Celiac (just gluten sensitive) so it's not a huge deal if I have a bit of white, refined flours but after not quite ⅓ of the mousse my stomach started feeling the way it feels after I have a forbidden bite of a donut or something.

Was in town for my husband's birthday and got the pistachio San Rival cake because my husband is gluten free. Called them and they were so helpful when ordering. The cake looked beautiful and tasted so amazing. Highly recommend this business.

If you are gluten-free, do not eat the banana bread. I did. I paid over $5 for it. It's not gluten-free. It's not even very good. And if gluten makes you sick, like it does me, trust me when I say you don't need to pay $5 for something that takes like sugar bread that will cause you gastro and other issues. *In response to the reply by Trees, if gluten free products are cut and packaged in the same area where wheat flour products are, cross-contamination occurs. So any gluten free product handled in these areas will cause issues for your patrons.

For a fast food restaurant, it is excellent!!! Everything is so fresh and deliciously made! My new go to place on Granville Street. You get to choose your own burrito or salad. They don’t have gluten free tortilla however you can get a bowl.

So pretty! The Chai latte with oat milk is delicious and the banana loaf gluten free is amazing totally worth it

s.m. kindersley

my friend and i came in with dietary restrictions, one vegetarian and one gluten intolerant. with help from the friendly staff we had a delicious meal. crunchy tasty green beans and Hai lan, back eggplant, stir fried tofu, vermicelli with veggies. pleasant light background music was playing, the servers were attentive with tea and water and condiments. i would be happy to go back with family and friends.

I’ve eaten here twice and love it! Serves are so friendly and knowledgeable, know exactly what I can and can’t have and even offered me a free dessert that was GF on my birthday! Stunning views over Vancouver and the water

Ordered the GF bagel for my young daughter, recently diagnosed gluten intolerant we are always looking for new options in the area. I started making gf bagels at home, so we tried this sandwich from RRS and honestly weren’t very impressed with the quality for the price. Bagel was so small (hard to tell by the pic) that the insides of the bagel were spilling out everywhere, and the bagel itself was super tough/hard to bite. Left the tops of the mouth quite raw, will likely stick to the gf bagels at home!

Love this place for it's atmosphere. They have the best gluten free chocolate trio cake. My husband even loves it, can't tell it's gluten free :)

Lily Chycoski

Sollys is a dangerous place for someone who is trying to cut out gluten. Everything I've tried (and I've tried most things) is delicious here. Staff is friendly and to the point. Simple, and yummy.

Mirza Salman

Tried keto and gluten free desserts for the first time. This is the place to fulfil your cravings! A must try!
