One of the best dedicated 100% GF places in TO. A life saver for people in midtown !

Brooke Waters

Delicious celiac safe establishment with world class baked goods and crepes. Their almond and chocolate croissants are fantastic! The crepes were devine. The owners were present, extremely friendly and confirmed their food was celiac safe. I was diagnosed with celiac 8 months ago. In my prior life, an almond croissant with morning coffee was a favorite. This was my first gluten free croissant and it was the best one I’ve ever had…better than I remember. Please visit this cafe and enjoy everything on their menu. Bon appetite!

Lily Kane

100% GF Lots of options Staff really nice

Nikita Crane

I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.

Julian Catalano

Amazing food! I am celiac and have never ever found gluten free Chinese food , that was incredible. I am still thinking about it , the flavour and the freshness of all the food was amazing. I got many freezor items to try that I am pumped for. I highly recommend this place!

Jillian Cramer

The best gluten free bakery in the area! I have 0 worries about eating here.

Sienna Woodhall

I love their gluten free batter! Always a good time and the food is fresh!

Shiemara Hogarth

The staff are super friendly and the food is delicious! I went with a group to carry things back for the family, and I'm convinced the only thing we didn't take was the bakery with us :) Things we got: date, key lime & strawberry squares, cinnamon buns, lemon blueberry danishes, chubby bunnies, bourbon tarts, a chicken pot pie, and a cherry pie. For a family that has egg allergies, gluten & dairy intolerance, everyone enjoyed the food. The only constructive criticism I'd give is maybe that the sucrose could be a bit less? However, overall, we enjoyed ghe food and will absolutely be back :)

Jason Fowler

Great place for brunch! Gluten free is a huge plus if you or your partner (in my case) are celiac.

Ken T

Dedicated Gluten Free! Absolutely delicious menu and excellent portion sizes. If you didn't know it was totally gluten free, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Raquel Alejandra

Beautiful place. They have food ready quickly. Their crust is amazing and gluten free! Can't wait to try more items in their menu

Allegra Nardulli

This spot is the ultimate bakery for the flakiest gluten and dairy free pastries!! It is by far my favourite gluten free bakery! I would go back to Montreal just to visit this spot 😍

I'm writing from Alberta! I was in Homesense a few days ago and found Susie Sans Gluten cookie flour - I eat gluten-free, and generally haven't had a lot of luck baking gluten-free treats that taste or act the same as treats made with regular flour. I turned the package over and saw this company is Canadian, and I thought - why not? Let's give it a shot. And oh. My. GOSH. I made my favourite cookie recipe from a blog I follow, subbed the flour for Susie's GF flour, and produced the yummiest, chewiest, MOST PERFECT cookies!!! My husband couldn't even tell they were gluten free!! I was honestly blown away. I found Susie's store online and reached out to her, and she was SO KIND and let me know I could buy stock through homesense or well.ca. So I may have placed a large order through Well to try some of the other flours and mixes.... haha can't wait to continue experimenting. Highly, highly recommend, based on the quality of the product and how kind this product's creator is, that you check this store out if you're in the area (wish I could!!), or if you're like me and too far away, purchase some of these flours online. I promise you won't be disappointed. Get ready to level up your gluten-free baking. Merci again for responding to my email questions, Susie!! ❤️ this is the first time in a long time I've felt excited about baking. My birthday is in May and I'm looking forward to making my own gluten free cake. If your cookie flour is any indication of how awesome your cake flour is, my cake is going to be amazing this year.

Kim McKelvey

I am celiacs with a tapioca allergy they were very accommodating and the food was excellent. Beware the dark staircase to the bathroom! We sat outside, it was very nice.

Deanna Dobrowsky

The staff are SO friendly and the food is SO delicious! Heaven for celiacs. A lovely place for a casual meal or a sweet gluten-free snack.

Kat “DiamondsAngel” Thib

Most awesome bakery for gluten free!

Kellian Debargis

The service is lousy, and there is a big lack of hygiene. Gluten-free pastries are not bad but not great either. If you're looking for a quick gluten-free pastry this is good. Otherwise it's not worth it.

Janel Esguerra

This place is awesome! Been here a few times now and everything holds up. Portions are huge. Even the tea they serve you isn't in tiny cups and a kettle; I got 3 full cups out of it. Their menu is 95% gluten free, I've taken my celiac girlfriend here twice and she loves it! Only thing is their water is not free, it comes in cans and is 75cents but I was happy with my tea. Love coming here!

D Barrett

Really enjoyed having supper here with the family. They pay close attention to Gluten allergies and have a large selection to choose from.

Matt Mistruzzi

Great gluten free menu…. Tons of selection… Definitely recommend… 👍

Tyrell Sargent

Not only one of the best bakeries in the city, it’s 100% gluten free! Makes it a lot easier to shop for friends and family without having to triple check labels and ingredients. A good amount of options can be made vegan, too; we’ve served cakes to large groups and many people were impressed that they were gluten and lactose free.

This is a negative review directly related to how hot cross buns were being displayed & arranged. The buns were stacked on top of each other & squashed like pancakes. Like so many folks with celiac I have to eat GF otherwise suffer the consequences which can be very severe. I commented to the staff member running the till about the hot cross buns all being squashed & asked if there were any in the back that were not squashed. She blinked at me like a troll from Frozen with a completely lost & confused expression & whispered no. Life is very expensive & this made me sad. I bought hot cross buns from a grocery store for the rest of my family and even those were sad in my eyes but they were not squished. Packaged in a recyclable box measuring 6.5cm in height. I measured kinnikinnicks to find that at the highest point was just over 2cm!! That's not even an inch!! The highest point! I know the person working the till is just staff likely being paid minimum wage (which is another hill to die on) but is it too much to ask for no squished hot cross buns!?!? I would ask that we all take a bit more pride in our jobs, no matter the job, & please be a bit more thoughtful. Can you please arrange baked goods in a way that will not ruin the product? This is sad. If I was the owner I'd be embarrassed.

Malindi Vaughan

Whole menu is gluten free! Amazing crepes made with local produce. Quick to arrive and they were delicious

Ronnie Noonan-Birch

Excellent place for celiacs! Note that if you want to book a group of 10 or more, you must EMAIL them although it says call on the table booking portal. Also with a group size of 14, we had to agree to a set menu. No problem there since the food was fantastic but the communication for this large group booking could've been better.

Brooke Waters

This place is now 100 percent gluten free. I confirmed Celiac safe with the server. No gluten in entire restaurant and they are cautious with product sources. To top it all off, they make their own honey on their rooftop. My husband and I were so excited to discover this lovely restaurant. The staff is also amazing. Support this restaurant, we need places like this to stay open and thrive. Mahalo and Merci Bistro Hortus!

Carly Brender

Dedicated gluten free, nut free, vegan, and kosher bakery. Friendly staff and yummy sweet treats.

Preeti Dhillon

Stumbled upon this place as we were visiting the area from Toronto. I loved that everything was GF. A lot of dairy free options as well! The food was fresh, minimal ingredients and my stomach felt great after. We tried the breakfast platter, London fog latte, and a few DF/GF pastries that were delicious! Highly recommend the crème brûlée! I haven’t had one since my gluten/dairy intolerance and I was in heaven! I purchased a few more for the road. They also had a Mother’s Day high tea which was so cool because I haven’t found a gluten free high tea place in Toronto. We hope to be back next time we are in the area and would love to try high tea.

Emily Souders

Winnie’s is the best! As someone who doesn’t necessarily need gluten free options, I would still choose to eat here. The food is so delicious you don’t even notice it’s gluten free. My husband feels the same and he is a tough critic! They do have dairy free options as well which is great for me. From sweet to savory they have it all. I even got an amazing cake made for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Toronto that was not only delicious but so cute and fun!

R Steinb

Best place to go for gluten free food! Totally recommended! Wish there would be one store in Toronto! Susie is amazing!!!

Leisel Quinton

❤️so many GF options. Knowledgeable, friendly staff.

Mark Blair

I ate at this restaurant when it was called Riz, and i just went under their new name. The menu is expanded and is all gluten free. It is a treat to be able to order anything and not have to ask about ingredients. As a huge bonus, they had a dessert pastry selection of items I’ve never seen available in gluten free versions. I had a chocolate eclair which was amazing.

Cheryl Hutley

I really wanted to enjoy my meal but I was so disappointed. The Caribbean chicken bowl I ordered was very poor. I had four 1-inch pieces of dry chicken. No juices or sauce, which should surely be there if it's 'braised'. There was a lot of rice, but it was so dry. The vegetables were ok, I really liked the carrots. That was it! I was so happy to find a gluten-free restaurant, but it was a big letdown.

The best gluten-free fine dining restaurant in edmonton. Food is delicious even if you are not on a gluten-free diet worth trying, especially on live music nights.

Jessica Fielding

This place is the best and they are extremely thoughtful. I came for dinner with my kids and they surprised me with a delicious mother's Day dessert and a card. I love eating here because it's 100% gluten free and safe for Celiacs. Please support this small family-owned business whenever you have a chance!

Natasha Collia

We stop here every time we take our pups to the vet or make an excuse to stop in and get their delicious gluten free food. You can’t go wrong with anything you get there. The quality is incredible. The food is fresh. The owner is extremely kind and your food will always be prepared with care.
