Amazing gluten free crust. It’s not pretty, but the flavour is great. Rare to be able to enjoy an authentic pizza with GF crust that doesn’t make you wanna cry. Great spot - would recommend to anyone. Oh and also, loved the music. Nice indie playlist at a reasonable volume that had me feeling super chill, and even bobbing my head. Thank goodness no overloud top 40 🙌

Could do with more variety of options for the brunch, it was a lot of eggs Benedict which is not my jam. But I enjoyed what I did get. Would also suggest adding turkey bacon and gluten free options to really elevate. Service was adequate, atmosphere was really cool. 👌

one of my favourite places to eat in Hamilton! very reasonably priced, great options for people with dietary restrictions (dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian, etc.) the best part is that you can play one of their board games while you wait if you ask your server!

These guys very quickly became my number one lunch spot (I work in the area) and a regular place my lady and I order from at night. At this point I’ve tried the whole menu and met all the staff. Every menu item is a complete BANGER!!! All the ingredients and toppings are fresh, high quality, and Canadian sourced. They also cater to all dietary restrictions; gluten free, Keto, halal, vegetarian, and vegan options are all available!!! The drink options (both alcoholic and non alcoholic) are incredible as well, no matter what your favourite beverage is they’ve got something for you! The staff are all incredibly friendly, sweet, and knowledgeable which is huge! I’ve found that lately good service is tough to find sadly and these guys blow the rest outta the water with service! They’re a real community spot focused on good food, customer service, and growth within our community and I couldn’t be more stoked to support them! If you get a chance or are craving some of the best pizza, sandwiches, and desserts hamilton has to offer definitely pop in or order online!

One of my new favorite spots at Hamilton Farmer's Market! As someone with celiac, I appreciate the gluten-free options. The Laksa is my favorite meal thus far, and their sambal is also very tasty. Before I knew about them, I had bought a jar of sambal at Cherry Birch General and it was a pleasant surprise to learn that they opened up at the Farmer's Market for hot food service! Thanks again, and I look forward to ordering more gluten free items!

Great food. They offer a gf version of a shawarma without the pita bread - it proved to be safe to eat for a celiac. They never have your order ready to go for pick up, they seem to wait until the order is paid before making it. They've forgotten items in my orders twice, so be sure to carefully check your order before you leave. Reasonable, but the best deal is through their La Luna Express - get the Family Feast for $60, loads of delicious food for a very good price. It really is enough for a family get together. I'm a big fan of their falafel sandwich. They use a spice I haven't had elsewhere.
