Deliciously varied treats await you, from fluffy carrot cake to amazing sourdough, all paired perfectly with great coffee.

The gluten free treats were some of the best I've ever had. The first day I had a gluten free brownie bite and it was so delicious I went back the next day to have it again
But alas! It was different treats! Luckily there was a gluten free carrot cake instead. It was delicious. Light and fluffy and so pretty! There were two gluten free breads to eat as well. The sourdough was amazing. The bun was crumbly and fell apart everywhere so I would recommend not getting it.
The service was also excellent. Very kind and friendly staff :)
Expect a vibrant dining experience with a diverse menu featuring fresh sushi, a cute aesthetic, and plenty of options for various dietary preferences.

It is very difficult to find an Asian restaurant whether it’s Korean or Japanese with a menu that’s clearly label with items that are gluten-free. I was extremely pleased that there was clear label of what was gluten-free on the sushi and especially since that was what I was jonsing for. The sushi nigiri and the rolls were super fresh, delicious and generous portion and reasonable in price. I really enjoyed my experience.
Expect exceptionally swift delivery services and helpful staff who come to your rescue when you're in a fix.

This is my number 1 go-to for gluten-free Chinese food! Handy tips: they can sub the beef and broccoli sauce for the gluten-free black bean sauce. Truly excellent!

This was my 116th eatery in Vernon on my quest to eat at every eatery in Vernon.
Huge chain coffee shop in town. Super comfortable seating. It's very quiet in here too.
I paid $5.52 for a gluten free Belgian brownie. I don't know if I would ever pay that much money for any brownie again (regardless of its EU origins).
Staff was relatively friendly. Employees seem to like talking to each other. That's fine. They're young.
Overall, I enjoyed my Belgian brownie and my visit at Blenz on Anderson Way. Oh, and free wifi.
116 eateries down in Vernon; 40ish to go !
Charming and cozy with a diverse menu setup, it's perfect for anniversaries or gatherings, plus the cocktails are a crowd-pleaser!

We always loved going to the Lake Country location and are so happy with the Vernon location.
We chose The Italian Kitchen to celebrate our 20th Anniversary.
The restaurant is cozy, the service great and the food was excellent.
We enjoyed the complimentary warm breadsticks and the bruschetta was amazing.
They were very helpful with meeting my husband's food intolerances and the gluten free pasta was delicious.
You won't go wrong choosing the Creme Brule!
Highly recommend this restaurant.

Gluten-free options for Celiac-challenged people like myself! The owner, Susie, is amazing - so friendly & knowledgeable. They have a dedicated gluten-free fryer and gf prep takes place in a different area of their kitchen. There's a gluten-free menu and they offer a lunch combo, which is delicious with so much food - my take-out weighed a ton! And the crowing touch? 🥠 Gluten free FORTUNE COOKIES🥠 Not kidding. SO good!! 🙏 And I must have hit it right, I got a wall calendar & bought a few solar-operated mini lucky cats!! 🐈
My order:
Crispy chicken with sweet & sour sauce (lemon sauce is also offered)
Veggie chop suey
Fried Rice
Veggie chow mein with rice noodles
This chic spot stands out with its sleek vibe, modern ambiance, and attentive touches, making it a must-visit for a delightful dining experience.

I’m writing this review after a shockingly disappointing experience. My mother-in-law, who has a severe gluten allergy, ordered a dish labeled as “gluten-free” on the menu. Naturally, we trusted the menu as presented—only to discover afterward that this restaurant hides the crucial detail that these dishes are only gluten-free upon special request, buried in the fine print.
This is unacceptable in today’s dining landscape, where “gluten-free” menus are expected to clearly and accurately cater to dietary restrictions and health needs. This oversight put my mother-in-law’s health at serious risk, which is utterly inexcusable.
When we raised the issue with our server and later the manager, their responses were defensive and dismissive. They argued that we should have read the fine print, as though a customer’s life should depend on scrutinizing hidden disclaimers. To add insult to injury, they even debated whether they should charge us for the meal they served her—despite their clear negligence.
What made the situation even worse was the manager’s unprofessional behavior. When I mentioned that I knew the restaurant’s owners, she dismissively stated, “I’m not threatened by you.” This level of hostility and arrogance, especially in response to a legitimate complaint about a life-threatening issue, is both shocking and unacceptable.
This level of carelessness and lack of accountability is appalling. Restaurants must take dietary restrictions seriously, and hiding critical information in fine print is irresponsible and dangerous. We won’t be returning, and I encourage anyone with dietary restrictions to think twice before dining here.
Please, if your server is Dillion, or your manager is Siman, double check your meals for allergy compliance.
A great spot for a cozy dinner, known for its attentive service and vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a fun night out with friends or a date.

If you have celiac disease - this is a safe space. It’s difficult to find restaurants that make it possible for my daughter to eat in Vernon. Cactus has GF fryers and safe handling. We have not had any issues with cross contamination here. The staff is super friendly and the food is great! It’s our go to as a family.
This spot is a must-visit for delicious meals and a fantastic variety of options, topped off by attentive and friendly service.

My husband and I just went to the Phoenix for our 20th anniversary, and boy it did not disappoint! They have many options for gluten free, and they are so conscious about it! Celiac friendly for sure! We have lived in the area for around 15+ years and have never been- now it is a new favourite. You can tell it is a local family-run restaurant, and that they care about their guests.
Enjoy a cozy vibe with attentive service, soothing music, and relaxing fountains while devouring expertly crafted dishes that impress.

Absolutely delicious! The gluten free Chicken/Bacon/Aioli was incredible. Hubby had a Supreme and said it was the best pizza he’s had in years. Quality ingredients, amazing flavours, excellent crusts. LOVE!
A must-visit for hefty portions and delicious flavors that surpass the usual, perfect for those who love a good taco salad experience.

I’ve been patiently waiting for this location to open and the food was well worth the wait.
Portions for a taco salad (gluten free) was 3x the amount I get from the Rutland location; 3 meals worth!
Mmmmmmmmmmmm so good
Quick service, tasty steaks, and solid sushi options create an inviting vibe, though a dash of wasabi would have elevated the experience.

We were seated quickly and drink orders taken. I had gluten aware alternatives for my Ahi tuna poke bowl. Steaks were cooked perfectly and the sushi was very good. Wasabi would have been nice. We were checked on and attended well by friendly helpful server.
Cozy, quick service, exceptional seating for store size. Near a highschool so busy hours may be during school breaks. Outdoor seating for summer. Parking for store. London Fog with coconut milk is great. Food and speciality coffees available. As well as gluten free and vegan milk alternatives.
