I’ve ordered gluten free fish & chips and I must say it was the best gluten free meal
I have ever had!! Usually GF foods taste like cardboard but my fish was fresh, hot and crispy. I absolutely loved it. I will be coming back for more. Well done and thank you!

Such friendly service!! Elaina (I hope I spelt her name correctly) looked after us very well and was very knowledgeable with all the allergens. This is a great place for people with Coeliac Disease/ gluten free. The food was delicious, we had the mezze dishes and we loved the decor in the place too. Had a lovely evening here for dinner and will be back!
A vibrant spot with extensive vegan options and delicious desserts, making it a hit for friends and family gatherings alike.

A beautifully presented place with excellent food, and I've been here many times now. My only notes are that the lighting is VERY bright, and some of the staff are clearly carrying the weight of the work more than others. At my most recent visit we were not given menus or cutlery, the staff member had no idea what gluten free meant, we were asked personal questions, and then asked to leave a positive review. The staff member was very friendly and enthusiastic, but maybe it was their first week. The other staff were very helpful and smoothed over our visit perfectly.
This cozy spot offers a unique vibe with a curated menu, romantic décor, and standout cocktails, making it perfect for a special night out.

The loveliest restaurant with amazing service and beautiful food. Everything was wonderful. The only thing I’d love to see is maybe a gluten free bread alternative for the complimentary bread, I went with my mother who is coeliac and felt so guilty eating the bread when she couldn’t !
A casual café in a shopping center, it offers decent coffee and occasional tasty muffins, but lacks a cozy vibe.

I would more accurately rate this a 3.5/5.
This Bakers + Baristas is a solid café located in the atria Watford. It lacks a bit of charm given it's somewhat open-plan (i.e. no walls/ not an actual independent area) inside a shopping centre.
The coffee is good, not great. The latte was very milky, with a lot of foam at the top, which is not something I particularly enjoy. While I was pleased they offered a gluten free muffin, this isn't always available. Of the 5 times I've passed by, I only seen it offered once. There was only one option - banana and walnut - but it tasted good, and was very fluffy inside.
In summary, good for a shopping centre café, with decent food options.
Family-owned spot with a great variety of made-to-order options and cool party platters for last-minute gatherings.

Lovely family owned sandwich bar. Food made to order and accommodated our needs being vegetarian and gluten free was no issues. Variety of choices - definitely a regular spot for us.
Also enquired about work/office party platters which they can do-amazing!! Especially for last minute xmas lunches.
A must to check our and try, you won't be disappointed.
Charming spot perfect for a healthy break, with a cozy vibe that keeps people coming back for more.

5 star! Amazing food which offers gluten free pasta too which is a great bonus! Big portion sizes and friendly waiters, will definitely be back! The limoncello was the perfect end!
This place is great for everyone. All ages! Caters for all dietary needs - vegan, gluten free etc. It also has a mini children's menu. Fresh bakery on site too.
Enjoy a peaceful breakfast vibe with delicious options, quick service, and a cute shopping area nearby for some extra fun.

We went Coté this morning for breakfast,we could not fault it. The breakfast was delicious,I had the Gluten Free Coté breakfast which was absolutely delicious. The Mushrooms were delicious,so was the Bacon and the Saussages. The Hash Browns were absolutely delicious,by a long shot they were the nicest quality and flavour of Hash Browns I have ever had. The Toast and Butter was delicious. I had the Green juice and Apple juice which were delicious. The breakfast complete deal was fantastic,it came with a breakfast of your choice,a juice and a hot drink. The Staff were friendly and the service was quick. It had a nice atmosphere,it was very peaceful and quiet. It was airy and the decor was nice. I would recommend you park in Church car park as it is close to the high street and you end up outside of Las Iguanas. Just two doors down to your left is Cote. There is a lovely shopping centre behind Coté and there are loads of entertainment places available nearby. I would highly recommend Coté.
Enjoy a spot where specialized preparation takes center stage, ensuring a safe and pleasant experience every time.

Great place for gluten free option. Our food is always prepared separately by a member of staff who knows about contamination and we never had any problem there. Staff is always friendly and accommodating, highly recommended.
Very good food. I had gluten free salad ....not a lot of gluten free options. They really celebrate birthdays if you go in for a birthday dinner. Good wine and outdoor patio for nice weather.
Tucked away in an industrial estate, this hidden gem combo of a café and yoga studio offers a cozy vibe and a warm welcome.
