My partner is a coeliac, we decided to have lunch here after a lot of the menu items were marked gluten free, but was told all of the gluten free food was cooked in the same fryer as everything else which doesn’t make it gluten free anymore. They couldn’t offer us anything else to be substituted in.DON’T EAT HERE IF YOU ARE A COELIAC

Gluten free pizza bases are phenomenal, and the Wagyu Pastrami with Candied Jalapenos Pizza is definitely a repeat order. Drinks are great, GF drinks on tap are clearly marked, and been told the full gluten beers are exceptional from those that partake!
A MUST GO in Maleny!! 😍 Stacey and Alex are both darling and have created such a beautiful space. The food is so nourishing, affordable and delicious, and the energy is so positive, magical and contagious. Highly recommend their toasties, salads and delicious raw donuts… healthy and vegan and gluten free!! I always come by when I’m in the Sunshine Coast. Thank you so much for existing and doing what you do x
Ecletic venue, love the vibe. Delicious gluten free morsels to enjoy! The juices are lovely however could be colder by adding a little ice. Otherwise highly recommend for brunch lunch and everything in between.
We picked to eat here on a recent weekend away , the reviews were mixed so we thought we would give it a go .. My wife is gluten free and she ate 3 bites of her Hawaiian pizza and threw the rest in the bin . Myself ordered the equivalent to a supreme pizza this also was very disappointing , it was well under cooked both top and bottom of the pizza , there was so much raw white onion it was not - edible last but not least there was so much herbs just sprinkled on top it over powered any taste of any of the pizza , again did not even complete 1 slice before the rest was thrown away .
We rang to mention to the owners how bad this was but the young girl on the phone just took my details down and no return call was made . $60 wasted with not even a sorry about the issue from the store . I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone based off my experience

My husband and I had a beautiful authentic meal at Daawat in Maleny tonight - one of the best Indian meals we have had in many years. Great food and service and lovely owners. I also noted from other customer's that they catered
for coeliac's. I can't recommend highly enough 😊

What a gem in sleepy Maleny. Absolute Top Authentic Pasta and Sweets. Never had a better tasting gluten free pasta - more like a little pancake than pasta but nevertheless super yummy. Partner had lasagna and we shared some pistachio creme. Everything super tasty and at a fair price. This shop alone is worth a trip up from Brisbane!!
So lovely to come into a cafe and find a great variety of Gluten Free options. Tried the Maleny Angus beef burger, it was delicious! My coffee also hit the spot perfectly, thank you!
Always fresh and delicious food, quick service and good value for money. Lovely little garden nook outside with two tables to eat at as well as another table on the footpath. Good choices for vegetarian and gluten free as well.
Gorgeous food! We had the surf and turf and absolutely loved it! Beautiful oysters and yummy creme brulee too. Super helpful with being coeliac with great options. Lovely wine, great service and delicious food 🥰
Most items overpriced but what can you do, hard when you want to support local. Biggest disappointment is they stopped doing the gluten free roast chickens. We were told by staff it was a owners/management decision.
Beautiful food and really reasonably priced. The staff were so lovely and accommodated 10 of us for my sons birthday dinner, even made him a special icecream bowl for his birthday which was a highlight for him. Thank you and can't wait to come back!!! What was even better, ALL of their dishes are gluten free!!!
Celiac friendly
