I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.

Unfortunately we had a really bad experience at this pub. I was taking my fiance out for a date and he was very excited to have fish and chips again (Gluten Free.). I will say the perogies were very good, it was two big perogies in one order - not the best quantity but the flavour was very good. I ordered the mushroom gnocchi and my fiance ordered the two piece fish and chips. The first thing that was off was the waiter brought food to the table beside us but as he was putting their food down he quickly took the plates back around the corner and brushed something off the plate. Then came back and one of the ladies he was serving asked what that was all about, he dodged the question and left. It set an odd tone right away. After a while, our waiter returned to tell me he "couldn't sell me the mushroom gnocchi" he wasn't being direct and avoided telling me why so I ordered the mac n cheese. He wasn't sure if I could have that either so went to check. It was such a weird vibe around the whole situation and a little unsettling. Anyways, when he brought out our order, his thumb dipped into my mac n cheese. He left and then came running back to tell me he gave me the lobster mac n cheese not then regular. he asked me if I had eaten it yet and was relieved when i said no.. I assume he was going to bring it to someone else? I finally got the mac n cheese and he said to be careful, the skillet is very hot, it wasn't, i literally picked it up to take it off the serving plate because it had a bunch of greasy finger prints on it. The food was sadly not good at all. The fish and chips had next to no fish, it was just super thick batter. The mac n cheese barely had a flavour and had glazed over from sitting out. It was an extremely disappointing experience. To wrap this up, the table behind us had to return their food because there was "A shard of glass" in it. The server comped our meals and we left very unsatisfied. I know people have off days but man was everything going wrong that evening. I am sad to say we will never return or recommend this place.

So nice to be able to enjoy vegan and gluten free treats without worrying. So many different flavors.

I really wanted to enjoy my meal but I was so disappointed. The Caribbean chicken bowl I ordered was very poor. I had four 1-inch pieces of dry chicken. No juices or sauce, which should surely be there if it's 'braised'. There was a lot of rice, but it was so dry. The vegetables were ok, I really liked the carrots. That was it! I was so happy to find a gluten-free restaurant, but it was a big letdown.

Night service and a great variety of delicious gluten-free things!

Maddi W

Only Chinese restaurant I’ve ever come across that had GF options!!

Shannon S

Love this place. They do both gluten free and standard baked goods plus a big variety of vegan treats and they're all spectactulor. They recently open a coffee shop inside too. The bougie drinks are a little on the sweet side for my taste but I can't argue with the quality. It's delicious! (the cold brew especially). I'm in trouble with them so convenitently close to my office.

Felicity Shotter

While their donuts are decent for Gluten Free we've had their cookies twice now and Both times they've been so under cooked the middle is basically raw. Not a great experience with the cookies. 9/10 reccomend the donuts though.

Kim Bamburak

First time at the fish store and tried the gluten free halibut. Staff were very knowledgeable and asked if this was Celiacs. Lots of choices on menu and fish and fries turned out very tasty!

Kyle Embley

Horrendous experience. We recently heard that this restaurant could cater to those with Celiac disease. So we gave it an go today!! Everyone was excited. After asking repeatedly to confirm everything is gluten free and free from cross contamination, before/during/after, we were assured it was. My 10 year old is now violently ill. I might point out that it was 2:00pm when dined and we were the only table there. All any parent of a child with Celiac asks is that a restaurant is just honest on whether they can guarantee gluten free food and possibility of cross contamination (within reason). If you can’t, we’ll bring something with us!! The severity of the reaction my son experiences is always in proportion to the amount gluten he ingests. If it’s a slight cross contamination, it’s usually a couple trips to the toilet to vomit, bit of Tylenol then he’s good. The severity of this particular attack tells me it was direct ingestion of wheat. We’re moments away from going to the hospital. To the waitress that served us and the owner of this establishment…shame on you. I wish you were here watching my child experience the effects of your neglect. Watching your child suffer like this is heartbreaking. While I’m on it…the service was terrible too. Seeing as how we were the only table in the place, why did I have to go to the bar to tell her we were ready to order, again to order a drink, then again to ask for the bill. The Canadian guilt in me still left a 15% tip. Regret that now. Edit to this post after the fact…Owner contacted me and refunded money. Offered up apology. He did clarify that food is prepared in same kitchen so avoidance of cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. He said staff are supposed to tell the customers this. He’s committed to retraining and educating.

First time visiting CB since we moved to Kamloops last month. We dined in for breakfast. Breakfast tacos, waffle benedict (bacon and apple), coffee, service...it was all absolutely fantastic. We also picked up a couple pieces of cheesecake for dessert after dinner. Peanut butter brownie cheesecake and champagne strawberry cheesecake. Amazing...delicious. This bistro/bakery is 100% gluten free...and if you didn't know that, you wouldn't know. This is one of those businesses that you want to shout about from the rooftops; but at the same time not because you want to get a seat when you go. CB will definitely be a go-to for us on a regular basis.

I went in to check out this place as I'm on a gluten-free diet, as are several other family members. What a great selection of buns, bagels, and breads all gluten-free free. Im so happy I found this place as I also found the prices very reasonable.

Missing Tipsy

John and June are incredible. They do wizardry level magic with baking and you never think of their stuff as “gluten free” - you just think of it as the best you’ve ever tasted.

Allison Pellegrini

This is one of my favourite hidden gems in Kelowna. I don’t normally eat seafood or much fish. But this place changed that for me. The fish they bring in is so fresh and of such high quality. The batter is so thin and crispy. It’s also gluten free. The cod and halibut are my favourites. The tartar sauce is amazing. The coleslaw is one of my favs also. The service is excellent. They also serve wine and beers and cocktails. The happy hour has many great choices. A definite must try in Kelowna.

linda milton

Had a lovely pizza and Choc brownie, highly recommend it, but what made the place so memorable was the server Sienna who was awesome and the young chef who took the time to ensure we enjoyed our meal. The only downside was that the gluten free pizza crust my buddy had was not so good but edible.

Ron O.

We liked it so much that we went twice! The restaurant served super-clean gluten-free food. The servers were knowledgeable, kind, and easy to smile.

As someone with multiple dietary restrictions, I really appreciate how clear and easy to navigate Virtue Bakery is. No guessing games, everything is labeled, and the staff behind the counter genuinely understand the ingredients. It is refreshingly straightforward without ever compromising on flavour. Their offerings include all gluten-free, and a variety of dairy-free, egg-free, and low-sugar baked goods, catering to a wide range of folks. They do have nuts on-site, goodies share a display case, however whatever is labelled as nuts has nuts in it and other stuff doesn't. A rare gem for those of us with dietary restrictions! I love the df lavender brownie and df banana bread.

Fantastic experience here on all fronts: service, food, and atmosphere. The people who run the place were exceedingly friendly and went above and beyond taking care of customers. The design is modern but with little details in the decor give the place an authentic homely feeling. The backstory behind this cafe is so interesting - apparently the space has been in the family for three generations (you can read about them on their website). The menu features modern HK comfort food and is all gluten-free! I was there around 2 pm on Saturday and many of the baked goods were sold out, but luckily they still had what I wanted. I tried their corn pot pie, a ginger milk burnt sugar cookie, and an iced HK milk tea. The corn pot pie was creamy but not heavy, topped with a pastry that was the perfect sweet spot between crisp and soft. Very comforting. The cookie was phenomenal!! At first bite, the taste of fresh ginger was VERY strong and the burnt sugar added depth to the flavour without making it too sweet at all. The texture was also amazing, soft and chewy, and I loved the thick edges. As expected, the HK milk tea was also excellent, strong and smooth. The tall and full glass was much appreciated because I didn't want it to end. Dipping the cookie in the milk tea was heavenly. I can't overstate how much I enjoyed my visit here. You can really tell how much love has gone into this cafe.

Cutest bakery and cafe! Really tasty gluten and dairy free breads, made fresh every Thursday! Great selection of gluten-free desserts. Not celiac friendly, but those looking for GF items it is great.

Debbie Stirling

All I can say is WOW!! Being gluten free and being off dairy right now I thought my days of poutine were over! The vegan/gluten-free poutine is so delicious and such a generous portion! The gluten-free deep fried pickles are crunchy and tasty. The service was incredibly fast, easy by phone/app with updates and all. I was greeted with a smile and positive energy when I walked in the door. I will 1000% be back again!!

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

Paul Cooper

Super coffee and gluten free cake options

Emily R

Completely separate prep area, fryer, etc. Celiac safe :) So many choices for GF dishes, and great!

Chelsea T

Awesome spot, delicious food… always great service! As someone with celiac disease too, it’s a treat to find a gluten free location as well.

Chey Petrich

GLUTEN FREE CROISSANT OF MY DREAMS!!

Ivo S

So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

Kendall Elliott

I have only just tried the regular gluten free sourdough and I'm super impressed. It toasts so perfectly. Can't wait to try more.

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Deanna Mcmullen

Such a gem for gluten free foodies 😀.2 of us dined on wings, calamari, mozzarella sticks, fried sourdough & onion rings, everything was delicious and the pride shows in the food. Will b back again & again whenever we r in Victoria.

Lana Fedora

In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.

Jessica Shifrin

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!

Nikita Crane

Fried chicken, dedicated fryers and beer

K M

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

Julie Chalifoux

I didn't go in to enjoy the service, I had take out. I had the gluten free option and have finally found a pie I can order again. I am thoroughly pleased with the taste and texture of the GF crust. It actually tastes like really having pizza again. So glad to have found these guys.

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

Adrienne Rademaker

Great pizza. My partner has a gluten allergy, so he always orders the gf crust and it’s almost as good as the regular pizza crust - by far the best gf crust I’ve tasted.

Not all who wander are lost.

My travel partner and I each had a gluten-free free lamborghini with salad. Fresh ingredients, meat had nice seasonings, and a good flat bread (gf "bun"). They earn a double tasty and a recommendation to all GF eaters out there. Already planning a return visit when back in Vancouver in a few weeks.

Karmen Johnson

Called to place a take out order. Staff was very nice and friendly. We were given a very accurate time that our food would be ready. Four of us ordered four different meals and we were all very happy, especially my daughter who cannot eat gluten. It was so nice to not have to worry about any gluten cross contamination.

Carissa Burk

I haven’t had an ice cream sandwich since going gluten free about a decade ago so when I heard this place had GF ice cream sandwiches on TikTok I bookmarked it. Thankfully we had a chance to order delivery from here on our recent trip to Victoria and it did not disappoint. The flavors were not typical but they were quite enjoyable. The texture of the cookie was also superb. No telltale cardboardy-ness that GF cookies can sometimes get. Definitely worth a visit - especially if someone in your party is gluten-free.

Matt

We had a great experience at omni. Extremely safe for celiacs. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free and anything they put in their deep fryer is naturally gluten free (rice flour). Huge plus for no fryer cross contamination! They had about 4 gluten free canned beers to choose from and we loved the fried Cajun honey chicken wings. Waitresses were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We will be back!

Wyatt Miller-Unser

Barts is great, affordable food, good selection of drinks, lots of menu items are Gluten free or can be made gluten free.

Brittany Rene

This place is unreal! One of the best breakfasts of my life. Begging for y’all to open a location in LA. Objectively delicious breakfast. Plus perfect for my gluten and dairy free needs. I’m still thinking about that hollandaise. Kind staff. Good vibes. Went back the next day it was so good. If I lived in Victoria I would eat here once a week at least. Wish I could give more stars. NEVER CLOSE I BEG.

Annie Yang

The menu is SO CLEARLY LABELED! I can’t have gluten or dairy and I had the most fabulous dinner! The cider was also lovely. Kind staff that take allergies very seriously
