Amazing gluten free menu and service. These folks know what they are doing! GF food served on different coloured plates. So many pasta choices, pizzas and desserts. GF calamari, bruschetta and so much more. So happy Atly helped me find it ❤️

I was THRILLED when I stumbled across this bakery today. I couldn’t believe my eyes! A gluten free bakery! I got three cupcakes, two butter tarts, and an apple crisp, and everything was absolutely 10/10. The texture of the cupcakes was AMAZING— absolutely blown away. Thank you!!!!!

Absolutely amazing experience here. Truly celiac safe. Dedicated gluten free area. Gluten free wraps. I’ve never gotten to have shawarma before in my entire life so this was amazing. Staff were so friendly and quick to ease our cross contamination concerns. Well worth the trip out here.

Sandro Massa

Best place for no gluten options!

This place is not 100% gluten free. Atly, please update this listing.

It's a small place and very popular. I took my sister here who has a gluten allergy and she had grilled cheese with lentil bread (pictured and almost finished). She loved it and they do not skimp out on the cheese. I had the Oaxaca sandwich which was very good and the spiciness was just right, paired with a Thai carrot soup. Coffee was good and served in a big glass mug. We had a window view which was a bit cramped but felt alright. You see so many people come in of all ages and backgrounds. Servers were friendly, left us mostly alone and revisited when needed. Atmosphere is very local and rustic.

They had some tasty gluten free options. Wish there had been more. The server went above and beyond to clean my dishes. Defiantly going back.

This is a very cozy and cute place for a date or reading a book. Their sandwiches are great and desserts looks delicious! Bonus: they have gluten free paninis and desserts!

We got a birthday cake for my son’s birthday party. Needed a gluten free and dairy free cake. Ours was 4”, vanilla, with a berry jam and vegan buttercream. It was coconut flour. It turned out really well! And so beautiful!! Picked it up the day before the party, just in time. Cake a good texture, not hard or crumbly, the buttercream was surprisingly sweet despite no refined sugar. Overall I recommend!

Hello, We’ve came to the bakery thinking that it would be a great time and look around for some goodies since we like desert. As I came I didn’t feel welcoming which is an important part of the customer service. Just smiling and say hi. What is something important as a person that took food handling is that there’s a way of putting the desert in box to make sure that it is sanitary with gloves or tonsils or a wrapping paper. For someone that worked in food industry we all learn that it is a basic that we learn since the beginning and it is necessary for the health of everyone and every customers. Which was not the cas for us, all the desert was taken by hand which is not sanitary. The dessert were all put in one box which it can mix the flavours of each squares. I would recommend putting one layer in the box or add one parchemin paper between the first and second layer. Thanks for serving the gluten free community in your area .

Extremely helpful staff. They discussed with me what options are really safe and which ones aren’t. I wanted to order something that was only gluten free but made in the same fryer, however, the friendly staff made it possible to do it in a separate fryer

Carly Brender

Nearly the entire menu is gluten free. Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Food is delicious and the staff are fantastic. Always a safe and delicious spot to visit. Our go to special occasion resto for years.

Bryan Beecham

Their gluten free bun option is a gluten free waffle corner! Great tasting chicken. Non GF donuts that have rave reviews too.

Paul Marchand

Wonderful dessert place with many dairy free and gluten free options. We tried a great piece of chocolate cake. We also had a brownie and a piece of chocolate truffle cake. Yummy!

Amanda L

Got there just before they closed and Staff were so helpful. Bagels were amazing, cream cheese so good. Gluten free options as well.

Tiara Battiston

Late night cravings met the perfect match here. The smoothies are spot on, blending taste with health in every sip. Waffles and crepes aren't just your regular fare; Belgian chocolate really ups the game. And for those watching their diet, the vegan and gluten-free options don't disappoint. Friendly staff are the cherry on top, making sure the vibe stays as uplifting as the beats in the background. Definitely a spot where the desserts and bubble tea keep things fun.

I tried the gluten free waffle with coconut whipped cream. Very good. Great portion size. Comes with fruit and chocolate sauce. Loved it.

Francis Ho

We ordered high tea, one set of which is gluten free. Good food, good service and a pleasant environment. Price is reasonable.

Stefanie Nelson

The atmosphere here was contemporary chic as well as cozy with the low lighting. The only reason I rated it lower was because the seating was in between the bar and a small hallway, to the front of the restaurant which made our table a high traffic area (it was a Thursday night with reservation) Oysters (5/5): Biggest oysters I’ve seen in Ottawa for $3.50 a piece! Steak Frites (3/5): quite a thick piece of steak that was great overall. I found the knife dull and wish I had more of the Demi glace. White 6 Pizza (4/5): Made gluten free!

Chris Whiting

Loved the atmosphere food selection worked for all 8 of us. They were able to accommodate us with a gluten free meal and dairy free meals.

Charlotte Keogh

My go-to place in Ottawa. Amazing proteins (meat or fish - always great choice), salads, pasta, desserts for dinner and the Farmer breakfast for brunch. As gluten free, you won’t find a better place!

Erin Pebesma

My husband and I have eaten here several times and their food never disappoints! He is gluten free and we love that Pocopazzo offers such quality pastas that he can enjoy. But I want to leave this review because of how wonderful they were with handling the food for our wedding. Since this is one of our favourite restaurants, we decided to get takeout for our 20-guest wedding from them and the chef was so helpful in getting it organized and communicating with me. The staff had no problem handling a big takeout order like that, and they made the order and pickup process so smooth. The food was delicious (as always) and everyone loved it!

Attentive server, delicious food, and clean, comfortable interior. Had a gluten free Mexican breakfast burrito which came with a huge basket of gluten free tater tots! Friends ordered French toast and it was delish.

We came here to celebrate a personal milestone and the dessert shop did not fail. I’ll be honest, I had some doubts when I called to make a reservation but the young lady who served us between 8:45 and 9:30 pm (Thursday June 20) was nothing less than amazing and caring. We are both celiac and she was attentive to our needs. Gluten free options, while few, were good and the item we purchased was very good. Our hot coffee drinks were made to our liking, however it would be great if there was a non fat dairy option. We were invited back and will definitely go back.

Favourite place. Really creative and delicious snacks. Nice gluten free section. Fantastic ice cream fridge (stock goes fast!!). Acceptable to use your laptop or read or play cards w friends. Not all the seating is great. Fridays they have really fun trivia. Starts at 7:30 but get there by 5:30pm if you want to get in with a partner, earlier for bigger groups, no resos.
