Top 16 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Explore in Hamilton

First time here this afternoon and had a fantastic experience! Staff were so lovely and the food was DELICIOUS! Can't go wrong with a poke bowl, but this was one of the best I've ever had, plus the lime and coconut pudding was an excellent treat afterward. EVERYTHING is gluten free which earns extra points for me and my celiac partner. Next time I'm in Hamilton, will 100% be stopping by! Minus one star for atmosphere because the music, while great, was a little too loud for me who is sensitive to noise.

Amazing! 11 of us ordered take out for curbside pick up last Friday for an office luncheon. Everyone of us enjoyed our lunch immensely. There was only 1 error for all of the orders, not a big deal. I ordered a burger with a gluten free bun, expecting the usual disappointment in this department and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The bun was AMAZING as was the burger. Fries are not celiac safe so I opted for the chopped salad with ranch on the side. I very much enjoyed every bite!! Everyone was pleased with theirs (minus one order of fries that were plain when they were supposed to be ranch fries) but all in all, this one will remain on the list of options and I am sure we will order from here again. Thanks Memphis for a great lunch for this medical team!

Amazing food! Always freshly made. My daughter is celiac and when I let them know through a note left with my online order they called me back almost immediately to assure me that they take allergies very seriously. They took all precautions to prevent cross contamination and also had gluten free soy sauce. Atmosphere rating doesn’t really count as its take out only.

A funky vibe with a good retro decor. The service was excellent, especially dealing with allergies. For gluten free, everything except the pancakes/french toast is either gf or can be made gf. Great cocktails too. Try the brussel sprouts dishes!

No matter where I go across Ontario, I cannot find Café Oranje's equal. The staff, the atmosphere, the coffee, the food... There is no comparison. I am delighted each and every time I visit. If you are gluten-sensitive, there are always wheat-free options aplenty and their muffins are some of the best I have had in a long time. There is also gluten-free bread available if you want to get into any of their robust selection of sandwiches. And to any fans of oat milk, there is Earth's Own Barrista-style oat milk available. The coffee is excellent - fans of black coffee, rejoice. It needs nothing added to be enjoyed to it's fullest. I simply tend to order lattes as a matter of preference. The store is always clean and welcoming with an atmosphere that delights in clever simplicity. The owner reflects these values with her personable, easy wit, and her staff are always professional and courteous. I'm incredibly socially awkward and still, I find everyone who works here is really easy to talk to. I am also sound sensitive but never feel the need to drown out noise here. Guests trend towards intelligent or pleasant conversation at a reasonable volume, and that over the sound of smooth jazz or lo-fi beats makes for pleasant background noise. If you are someone who likes to work at the café, I have been using the space to draw and work on commission illustrations and have found it very easy to focus and get a lot done here. The front door is a little small and heavy, but the staff are super courteous and if you think you will have any trouble with it, flag them down and they will absolutely help you. It's worth noting for the sake of accessibility as well, the bathroom is a rather small single-person room that requires you to ascend about two or three steps. As a result of the size and age of the building, there is no wheelchair accessibility. The store is very lgbtq2+ friendly! I was asked for my pronouns (for context, I use they/them) and they have been well respected ever since. All in all, I love this café. It is easily my favourite in the province. I am moving away soon, so I will dearly miss it. But I hope that it will continue to thrive so that whenever I visit Hamilton, I can stop by for a while.

Hipster central. The fashions are great people watching. Pricey but nice coffee, comfy seats and tasty treats. Be warry of vegetables in your muffins and scones :) usually they have gluten free cupcakes.

I love to visit this place with my dog. There's always friendly people and dogs. The food is great. They also have gluten-free options.

I am a certified foodie! And I have dined in some of the best restaurants in North America (think food network featured ones!) I honestly love this place! Delicious big cheesy burgers, fresh fries, amazing sweet potato fries, fresh ingredients, lots of topping options, fast service, super clean joint, kind attentive staff, and a huge delicious funnel cake! We had a great time with party of 12! Wish this place was within the GTA! Can’t wait to be back! Love that gluten free options are available!

Ok. Martello - whoever you are. You cook the best food!!! I have two enemies in this world, the sun and gluten. I was super impressed with how diverse your menu is! Lots of gluten free options. Everything I had tasted awesome too :)

As someone who has celiac and who's had it for over a decade, I was really excited to order food from you guys once I saw you offer gluten-free pizza only for you guys to tell me that you just carry a gluten-free base and none of the toppings are gluten free? Why bother then because you're not accommodating the celiac people like myself. I fully understand for some people it is just preference but for people like me it is a full-blown allergy.

Such a wonderful restaurant and foods. In Hamilton, compared to others restaurants I found very much reasonable price with large quantity of food portions.I recommend people do visit and try their thali set( Lunch/Dinner) Combo, Tandoori chicken items and non veg curries. Besides it has huge parking spot. Large dining room It follows dietary requirements. Place is clean and hygience, it is nuts and gluten free. I loved to come again and again.

Absolutely loved the local artists' art for sale on the wall; love that they are serving up Ontario made brews - was a random stop in and me being the one to ask a million questions the server was patient, kind, and knew the menu well (props)! Gluten free options, beer to go options, Jamaican patties to munch on - I was content.
