Absolutely some of the most delicious food I had in my life! I had the Mexican street tacos, which was not a big portion, but the flavour was immense.
I travel a lot and this place is outstanding, I will be back bringing 10 friends! 🤩🤩🤩 I only wished I had eaten here before so many times! Gluten-free by default and lots of dairy-free options. I even had room for delicious gluten-free dairy-free fried plantain for dessert with agave syrup subbed for the chocolate and whip. Yummy!! 😋
No wonder they won so many awards!

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!
A trendy spot with a great vibe, offering a spacious interior, a delightful heated patio, and awesome cocktails for a relaxing hangout.

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.
Expect unique flavors and creative treats that redefine what donuts can be, making it a must-visit for sweet enthusiasts!

Had the GF donuts. Best I've had in 25 years of eating gluten-free. Jay went above and beyond, made me a bulletproof coffee even though they didn't have it on the menu.
One very happy customer. Couldn't recommend Bigfoot Donuts enough. You won't be dissatisfied. Even the drip coffee is superb 👌
Enjoy a vibrant spot with bold flavors and creative options that keep loyal fans coming back for more, especially after a workout.

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!
With unlimited high-quality fries and generous portions, this spot is a hit for families looking for great value and satisfaction.

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:)

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!

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.

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.
Amazing spot with outstanding service and a variety of options like cauliflower crust that everyone raves about—definitely a must-visit!

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 👌👏🙌!
Gluten-free tacos! I went for the Box with lamb that came for ~20$ and was fully satisfied - wonderful spices, great looks and the guacamole was bang on.

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!!
Always bustling with activity, this go-to spot ensures quick service and reliable orders, perfect for those busy nights when cooking isn’t on the menu.
Known for hearty, meaty burgers loaded with toppings and decent portion sizes, it's a fair-priced spot that's become a new favorite.

Burgers are awesome. Hardy, meaty, full of toppings. The staff is friendly. Fair price for kids meal, portions are decent size.. It replaced our old regular dinner spot Triple O's. Gluten free options are nice if you need that.
Come for great beers and food too! The kitchen menu is excellent - a good mix of snacks and mains to go with your booze. Includes a healthier selection of salads, bowls and options for gluten free etc.
We had the special nitro stout donuts and they were amazing!
Super friendly and prompt service. They do well with celiac and it's refreshing to be able to explore a menu rather than be limited to just a few options.
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!

Love everything Owynn has to offer in the food truck as a celiac and lactose intolerant person! Been loving her burgers and Mac and cheese, the buns are so soft for gluten free! Can get my caffeine fix there with nice coffee which is an added bonus. Will be back to try all of the gf and vegan options
It is very difficult for me to be able to find places to eat as I am Celiac. They provide gluten free options, make sure everything is changed so there isn't contamination. I was able to eat out! The food was amazing too!
A spot that impresses with a standout pizza experience, perfect for those with dietary needs and packed with flavor.

I recently had the pleasure of trying Papa John's Gluten-Free Pizza, and I am beyond impressed with my dining experience. As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a pizza place that caters to my dietary needs without compromising on taste is a rare gem, and Papa John's exceeded my expectations in every way.I highly recommend Papa John's Gluten-Free Pizza to anyone seeking a delicious, gluten-free dining option, kudos to Manpreet for always making me best and delicious Pizza.
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.
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.
Charming and cozy vibes make this hidden gem a must-visit, with a menu that tempts everyone to indulge and leave satisfied.

What a lovely treat to find this place. The location was perfect and the decor inside was warm and cozy.
I am a celiac and there was SO many amazing food choices (that weren't just salad) for anyone who is allergic to gluten/wheat.
Everyone's food look so good and every plate went back to the kitchen empty. Looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu
