Celiac approved and delicious

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

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.

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.

Aimee Newton

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.

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.

Super coffee and gluten free cake options

GLUTEN FREE CROISSANT OF MY DREAMS!!

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.

Lots of GF celiac safe goodies my personal fav is the turtle cheesecake. You can also buy their products at Save On Foods frozen. Such a cute little bookshop and cafe but always packed!

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.

Marck S

Like this place very much. We tend to visit each time we are in the area. Great selection of vegetarian items, gluten free bakery options, as well as good breakfast and lunch choices.

Brenda Gibson

How lovely to find a place that is entirely gluten free!! Also vegan and sugar free. The meals were delicious, the desserts were ok. All quite pricey but I guess that's the cost of fresh and healthy.

Jamie Potter

We were here from Ontario, and read that they served gluten free burgers and fries (my wife and son both have Celiac Disease). They were delicious!! Best burger and fries they've had, and my other two sons and I both loved our non gluten free burgers too. We all liked everything so much we came back a second time during our visit! Excellent and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Kirsten Scoffield

Nice bakery and local diner offering a full palate of gluten free options.

Zoe Kirk

The new owners have kept up the high standards of the previous long time proprietors. Even more so...the ability to continue to get 'specialty' dietary options - celiac or gluten free - makes this a place I can take even my friends with the most complicated diet needs. Great coffee, fabulous food and intimate shady outside courtyard, and close to the farmers market, make it an easy decision to frequent the cafe. Visitors have told me they make the best gluten free sandwiches they've ever had!

Elaine Bright

Purchased a carrot cake muffin. Hubby says it's delicious work lots of nuts. Cream cheese icing. Purchased a rectangle piece of gluten-free pizza. About 6" by 5" for about $5. It was very delicious with a little bit of spiciness. The crust was made with rice flour, and was quite heavy with oil.

Noah

Great spot, and better than most other dairy-free/gluten-free baking in Vancouver. Their vegan cakes + cupcakes are especially good - about as close as you can get to a dairy cake in terms of texture and flavour

Justin Malhi

Pancakes were cool, the overall restaurant is great for gluten free people as well

Nixie Knox

So happy to find gluten free options. Raspberry cheesecake was good. Nanaimo bar was flavourless. When I was young they had a barely-sweet, chocolate graham cracker base, custard buttercream layer (sweet) and real semi sweet chocolate on top. Now, everywhere not just here, they have no contrast, every layer is sweer, no custard taste and the base is greasy like a keto fat-bomb. Curious if this was a change to the original recipe or new style of Nanaimo bar?

gluten friendly options and can accommodate celiac

Christine Howlett

Gluten-free bakery and confirmed no wheat cross-contamination.

Stéphane Vermeulin

Very nice bakery with Gluten Free options. We always stop by when we are on the Sunshine Coast

My Gypsy Tale

Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating. Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service. They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges. Cheers

Mariah I

Cozy not crowded, no to little wait for a table. Food was delicious and as a gluten eater would happily go back for more gluten free things. The mushroom Benny and breakfast poutine was delicious and filling.

Christine Endicott

Great little café offering fresh donuts including gluten-friendly options. It's always busy, for a good reason – everything is delicious, including the coffees and teas. There is also a nice outdoor patio.

Mia Collavini

Stopped by because of the claim of having gluten free breakfast ood items. We were there right when they opened, one of 2 tables and then boom the place was packed with customers. And we could see why: Excellent tasting food and we found the portion size was just right- my partner is a big eater and he was pleasantly stuffed. You do pay a bit more but the food was of excellent quality and prepared very well. Coffee was done expertly. It is cafeteria style- go to the counter to put in your order and then your food is quickly delivered to your table. The place has a great vibe: reclaimed wood furniture, repurchased burlap coffee bags as upholstery and local artist art on the wall. Very inviting: small patio outside the Cafe on the street: great for people watching. Definitely will return if we are in the area again. My partner couldn't stop raving about the place when we discussed our experience to the friends we were visiting.

I booked a Mother’s Day dinner at The Table Bistro to celebrate my mom, and it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional—and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Taylor. Taylor was friendly, knowledgeable, and absolutely wonderful with my little one. She had fantastic recommendations and made us feel so well taken care of. Her attentiveness and warmth truly elevated our evening—she turned a lovely dinner into a true 5-star experience. My mom and I both have gluten allergies, and we were so impressed by the number of delicious, high-quality gluten-free options available. It’s rare to feel so confident and included when dining out, but The Table Bistro really delivered. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all top-tier. I can honestly say I’ve yet to have a better experience at a restaurant. Highly recommend The Table Bistro—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Taylor as your server!

Shasta Ferranto

The gluten-free vegan donuts were delicious!

Chanelle

I am always very happy with my experience here, the coffee, the gluten-free baked goods (Sweetened with maple syrup!!), and my chats with the owner. Definitely buy their beans if you're a coffee conoseur! Thank you for actually fulfilling my request for an "extra hot" beverage!

Jacq Janzen

My fave place to stop any time I’m in Revy. Authentic tacos with a twist. Lots of options & safe for gluten free needs. Great drinks & atmosphere. I recommend trying the yam taco!

Dominic Mayhew

Amazing gluten-free/vegan treats!

Kristy Keus

Gluten free, Vegan, AND delicious 😋

Eric Fenato

I don’t usually do reviews, but the gluten-free blueberry peach muffin was amazing and the staff are all really great. Awesome place.

mohammad mohammadi

I had a fantastic experience at OEB Breakfast, thanks to all their staff and chefs for catering towards our Gluten free diet —I also wanted to thank a very friendly and helpful young gentleman I believe his name was Lachlan who truly went above and beyond. From the moment we were seated, he made us feel welcome and took the time to assist us with our dietary needs and walk us through the menu in detail. He ensured everything we ordered was perfect, and the care he put into making our experience enjoyable really stood out. The food was absolutely amazing, and his exceptional service made it even better. I just wanted to give him a huge shoutout for being so kind, professional, and attentive. I hope Lachlan gets the recognition he deserves. Thank you to all the staff making our visit so memorable—we’ll definitely be back!

Becca

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too. I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city! But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

Trina Tymko

Yummy vegan food! Lots of gluten free options too!

Camille D

I look forward to visiting Marmalade Cat Cafe every time we visit Kelowna. I love the vibe and food and coffee! Can't go wrong. They have gluten-free bread and desert options, which I very much appreciate!

Emily F

One of the best breakfasts I’ve had while visiting coastal BC. Smooth espresso makes a lovely latte and the Ryders Oatmeal was delicious and filling. I’ll be trying to recreate this at home! Gluten free options available as We’ll.

Meike G.

I love everything about this place! Super cozy, great service, and how awesome that it's right by the beach. So happy they're 100% vegan/ plant-based. Everything on their menu is delicious and the cookies are to die for. I always make sure to get some of their gluten-free baked goods for my partner.

Out of the three places I’ve tried in Nanaimo this might be my favorite Nanaimo bar. It’s thinner, which means each bite had more balanced ratio of chocolate, cream, and crust. The crust has a nice mix of nuts and is perfectly crunchy (I believe it’s gluten free). The cream layer is not too sweet and overpowering either. Overall a delightful treat with iced coffee! My companion had a bagel sandwich which was delicious as well. Loved this cute little cafe.

Ty Sundquist

So happy to find a gluten-free and vegan Nanaimo bar in Nanaimo! The employees were super helpful and friendly. The black rabbit outside was amazing and perfect!

fishlet

This is the best!!! I am so happy!!! I have celiac and I felt safe at this restaurant : ) The staff are so friendly and also knowledgeable about food allergies. Their music was great too and I almost had trouble eating cus I was headbanging (calmly headbanging to calm music .) Please never close down. I didnt finish my food cause i got real full but it was sooo good Im like tweaking. Thanks

Delicious gluten free/ vegan pizza!

Rebecca

Love the location and atmosphere and the vegan milk options for coffee were appreciated. The vegan baked good were okay but I think the issue was they were also gluten free. Since some people are both vegan and gluten free, I know it is difficult for restaurants to maintain separate options but the vegan baked goods would probably have been better with gluten. I didn't have a meal but they also had a lot of vegan meal options which is appreciated. They also have vegan desserts to consider.

Justine Brennick

Incredible breakfast, especially for a gluten free meal
