Delicious and unique ice cream flavors with gluten free and vegan options! The staff is friendly and helpful, especially with allergen info. Can't wait to try more flavors in the future!

What a great find! We stumbled upon Mudsharks Coffee Bar while looking for a healthy lunch with vegan and gluten-free options — and it delivered. The Glory Bowl was packed with flavor, the homemade soup was comforting and delicious, and the gluten-free lemon poppyseed loaf was the perfect finish. So many fresh, wholesome choices. Friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend!

Lots of gluten free options! Very yummy food and lattes!

It's very trendy. I had the Angela Burger with brie. Wouldn't order it again, but it was very filling, and the beef patty was perfect. The appetizers were incredible. Had little falafel balls and loved them. The staff are amazing and it's much bigger inside than you'd expect. Very poor area for parking but a nice place to pop into if you're walking around town. The bartender was very skilled. There are plenty of gluten-free options. Uncertain if there's accessible facilities, but I know the washroom I used required 2 steps to reach. The main dining area is accessible. A walker and a cane managed well. Would be wheelchair friendly.

I love so much about this place, the people and the food. I frequent it often. Unfortunately they’ve recently changed the gluten free noodles and the result…not so good (mind you I got them to go. Maybe they hold up better if you eat them right away. By the time I got home to eat 10 minutes after pick up, the noddles broke apart into small pieces and into clumps loosing the noodley texture but also the flavour wasn’t there like it was before. I’m lucky that I’m not strictly GF so I will still go back for the odd bowl of much loved gluten filled ramen. Thought it might be worthy feedback to share from a loyal customer. Otherwise, keep doing what you’re doing!

The best value for the price in the area. My fish and chips were fresh and delicious. Everyone else was happy with their meals.and gluten free options are labeled now.

Tracy Pigeon

Forgot to take photos (oops) but we got their BBQ duck rice noodles, BBQ duck bento, house rolls, and negitoro rolls. Took about 30 mins to get our takeout order and the person helping us was very knowledgeable. Yummy food! A lot of selection for gluten free meals as well and gluten free soy sauce too:)

Richelle Titus

This place is amazing! The best gyro I’ve had in a very long time. They have great rice wraps if you are gluten free so you can still enjoy this authentic Greek food without feeling like you are missing out. We went through the drive-thru and the convenience was awesome! They even gave our dogs some left over meat. This place is a new favourite…for us AND the dogs!

Laco

Incredible food, the GF calamari was the best I've ever had. I appreciate businesses so much when they have so many options for us with celiac! Thank you to the chef and to the wonderful server we had.

Kimberly Fisher

The food was amazing. My partner and I have dietary restrictions and the kitchen did a great job accommodating us with gluten-free options. We sat on the back patio in the evening and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere with a glass of wine and gluten-free Whistler Forager lager. Can't wait to come back to Courtenay for more!

Karen Comer

Loved the coffee (dark or medium espresso option) and treat options (vegan and gluten-free options rocked). Great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Danielle Crawford

Love! I’m a coffee lover and a bit of a coffee snob. This coffee was soooooooo delicious. I also don’t consume gluten or dairy, and they had milk alternatives as well as food options (I had a freshly made trail mix bar that was delicious!). The vibe in the cafe was great as well.

Bernadine Courage

Staff are so kind! Pizza is great! I'm personly gluten free so we got the cauliflower crust. Best one I have ever tasted! ❤️ lots of vegan dairy free gluten free options and our server was awesome! One hundred percent recommend this place 👌👏🙌!

Marius Scurtescu

Great coffee. Good sandwiches, even gluten free english muffin. Nice cozy space.

Valentina Vincenti

If I could give our visit more stars I would. By far the best meal I’ve had in my life. Service is impeccable, food is incredible, and it felt cozy. They even closed the kitchen later for us as we came in right at 8! I’m celiac, and they accommodated my needs perfectly. My husband had the tortellini, and said it was 10/10. I will be a regular for sure!!

Carrie Pc

Gluten free options! :D

Beverley Derby

Two of us had very different meals there at dinnertime. We both enjoyed our choices. The gluten free brownie was a generous portion, delicious and easily shared for two!

Chuck Thompson

Beautiful facility. Old world grandeur. Great service, good food, bright lounge with very high ceilings, tall windows, Canadian logging history on display. Chairs are a little tired on seat cushion, but don't let that keep you away. Pleased they have vegetarian and gluten free options. Nicely done.

Lisa H

Omg amazing! The gluten free prawn and scallop taco was great! A little bit of sweet and a little bit of heat makes for a delicious taco!

Jason McLeod

They're super friendly,and very accommodating with food allergies(gluten). Great place to get away and without going anywhere.

Custom Charger

Service was excellent and food was fantastic. My son and daughter enjoyed everything and they were able to make something enjoyable even though my son can't have gluten. Awesome experience.
