This was such an amazing experience! They were so willing with work with my celiac! They had so many gluten free options and the staff were so knowledgeable!! Definitely a repeat!!

Great little Cafe in the middle of Deep Cove. Coffee is good, baked goods are really great - freshly made each day. Iris the manager made us a special Gluten free cake at our request a couple of years back - awesome. Staffed with young people from the local area which I also like. Don't forget to check out the patio/deck out back to get away from the busy main deep Cove Street, or sit out front and watch the people sound their thing.

Came during happy hour and got a seat on the outdoor rooftop area, great views of the city and water. While we waited (10 min) for our seat my husband was given a glass of complimentary bubbles. We had the burger, beer, frozen lemonade, and grilled chicken club (gluten free bun was great!). Our server Taylor was efficient and friendly!!

I have celiac and this was by far one of my best restaurant experiences! The staff were very knowledgeable and even made sure to check that my drink was safe to have. The food was delicious as always. I’ve been to this location multiple times and I’ll definitely be back!

Although we were more recently at the Lynn Valley location (which was also great), we have had many good experiences at this location. A really big shoutout to Darcy (because even though he shared he is usually at the Upper Lonsdale location he was at the Lynn Valley location today). He was attentive and thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy and went a step beyond by providing the gluten free brownie dessert after a really lovely meal and shared how he knows it isn’t always easy to come across a nice gluten free dessert. It was such a wonderful and thoughtful detail that went a long way for us. These are moments that make a customer feel special and cared for - and unashamed despite dietary restrictions/allergies. I wish for everyone who is impacted by food allergies and restrictions to be treated with such kindness, respect, and in this case, additional generosity. Thank you, Darcy and Brown’s for a really wonderful experience.

This was such an amazing experience for me and my daughter! The food was amazing and they were very knowledgable about celiac diet. It was incredible!!

The food and the service was fantastic. Most items are gluten free, and if you ask, the owner is very clear about which items are not gf or are fried with non gf items. Really great experience. I will definitely be back!

I tried Captain’s Oven Pizza for the first time and went with their gluten-free pizza with vegan cheese. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect because gluten-free crusts can sometimes be dry or too chewy, but this one was actually really good. It had a nice texture crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and it didn’t fall apart like some gluten-free pizzas do. The vegan cheese was a pleasant surprise too! It melted well and had a nice taste without that weird artificial flavor some dairy free cheeses have. The toppings were fresh, and they didn’t overload the pizza, so everything felt well-balanced instead of heavy. Overall, I really enjoyed it! It’s not always easy to find a good gluten-free and dairy-free pizza, but Captain’s Oven Pizza did a great job and is my go to spot.

Love Romers! The food is awesome - lots of options for celiacs. Their Smokey Bourbon is worth the price. Happy hour selections are terrific and staff are friendly, efficient and reminiscent of The Black Bear Pub’s . My fave🩷

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

A shopping trip to North Vancouver lead us to Buddha-Full for lunch. To fully check out the menu, I clicked the Order Now button, where there are more items, and I can check 'Nut allergy' or Gluten 'allergy', select all kinds of Add Ons, check boxes on the 'No List' and the Sub menu. They are Buddha by name only – while Buddhists don't eat garlic – some of the menu items here contain garlic 😟. I ordered the Wild Heart Bowl with the miso ginger sauce, substituting stewed lentils with tofu, my partner ordered the Grilled Please Panini. Both looked good. I found the tofu a bit too dry and hard. The sauce was good. The sandwich was very good and so was the sourdough. We also tried the chestnut latte, but the foam milk was underwhelming. Then, I discovered that the entire 2nd shelf of their sweet treats display is gluten free. These days, because I have so many allergies, I have to check all the ingredients before I try anything, and not being to see what the sweets are made of means I didn't feel safe enough to try anything. I did buy the GF Almond Energy Bar which my partner enjoyed. Most of their customers behave like regulars. If I live near this place, I would become a regular as well.

I am on the search for restaurants that offer GF anything. (I am not celiac). I was pleasantly surprised to see they had GF buns on offer for the burger ($3 up charge). With this up charge my expectations were high. When the burger arrived it looked unusual with white spots on the top, shriveled and flat. All for research I thought give it shot… it was horrible the bun was freezer burned, the beef in the burger was dry and bland, no sauce! thank goodness for ketchup that I added! I would say this was the worst burger ever! I let the waiter know it was horrible. His comment was I will let the “chef” know and then started to explain to me how buns get freezer burn! He missed one point it properly was at the bottom of the freezer for a VERY long time. If you can’t serve a good GF bun don’t offer it! The burger for $25 not worth the price every with out the GF. As I ate the beef only. I should have complained more but I did not A word to the chef/cook If it’s freezer burned don’t serve it!

I adore this tiny gem and the lactose and gluten free options they have, plus it’s super dog and pet friendly ♥️

As a local I go here frequently, there are not a lot of choices in Deep Cove and for sure we are lucky to have Arms Reach. Although it's not as busy in the winter its enough to make the atmosphere what it needs to be for a rainy winter night - cosy. It's not the cheapest option but you know your going to have a quality dining experience and a good time, every time and that is worth the price. I do occasionally get a bit bored of the menu, but that is because I'm there quite a bit and have gluten sensitivity - and the specials do help out with some extra variety. For sure worth a visit, book in the summer or expect an hour plus wait, due to its place by the ocean in the heart of Deepcove.

We love the food here, and we come often. The menu isn't deep, but it's always tasty and as authentic as you will find in Canada. I did prefer their old chicken recipe to the current one. Gluten-free is available. The regular stools and tables are bit too low.

Hands down some of the best gluten free pizza in the Metro Vancouver! Such a squishy, buttery, chewy crust that it's hard to believe it's gluten free. The brussel sprout pizza is uniquely delicious. Definitely worth the drive to Deep Cove.

Great gluten-free bennies!

Roshan Beaven

cozy fun atmosphere and absolutely delicious, quality food! the house made gluten free pasta is a wonderful option for gluten free folk. we especially love the pasta prosciutto e zucca (squash puree campanelle) and the flourless chocolate cake. the servers are all friendly and fun, and we always leave with smiles and full bellies!

We ordered Uber from Burgoo whilst visiting North Vancouver. The Beef Burgundy was delicious and comforting after days of travel. The meat was tender and served on mashed potatoes. Since I am gluten free, this was a nice option. We ordered the donuts for dessert and they weren’t my cup of tea….too salty!

We were accidentally given gluten which made my friend extremely sick but decided to give the restaurant another shot. So I made a reservation for my best friends birthday, confirmed by email. When we showed up they said we didn’t have a reservation and turned us away without offering any options.

We came here for the first time. Tried a few dishes and everything was super tasty. I’m glad they offer several gluten free options and take allergies seriously. Staff were very nice as well. Loved the atmosphere overall. I’ll definitely come back soon :)

A group of 5 of us went on a Wednesday around 5:30pm, it wasn’t too busy, we were seated quickly. We enjoyed everything about Steamworks - the food, atmosphere, and especially the exceptional service we received. We agreed we’ll happily return! •Location 5/5: great new (ish) option for any North Shore folk! Ample free street parking nearby; plus, near a main bus route. •Atmosphere 5/5: love the option to sit inside or out on the large patio, which is dog friendly! Good range of music, which wasn’t too loud so you can easily carry on conversations. •Food 4.75/5: plenty of options that are sure to accommodate everyone (vegan, gluten free, etc.). Portions were generous, yet not unnecessarily big. •Staff/Service 5/5: welcoming, very attentive, happy to accommodate, prompt. •Price 5/5: reasonably priced, especially during Happy Hour! •Cheeseburger 4.25/5: the charbroiled patty makes for exceptionally great flavor. All veggies were fresh and crisp, burger sauce was very tasty! •Prawn & Chorizo Jambalaya 4.75/5: packed with a variety of spices, generous amount of perfectly cooked prawns. It has a bit of a kick, but nothing too extreme. •Vegan Goddess Bowl 5/5: three out of five people in our group ordered these, it was their second time here (specifically for this dish), so it’s a clear winner! •Beeramisu 3.75/5: I’m not a tiramisu fan, but friends ordered this and gave the rating. Big portion, sharable, a neat spin on tiramisu. •Other: friends ordered Poutine, Poke Nachos, and Vegan Dumplings as starters, which they enjoyed and said they’d order again.
