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

One of yhe best pizzas I've ever eaten. The gluten free pizza base was exceptional. Absolutely excellent service too. I would recommend this place to anyone!
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
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
Out order was on 26/10/2024
The staff are all very friendly and helpful when it comes to answering questions regarding dietary requirements. The gluten free and vegetarian options are plentiful and the meal portions are perfectly sized.
The lamb madras is amazing (the lamb is incredibly tender) and the keema naan is perfect.
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.
What a delightful restaurant. Staff are incredibly friendly, attentive and caring. I’m coeliac and both the owner and the staff checked everything and even went the extra step to clarify certain dishes with me. The views are spectacular even with wild weather. Highly recommended this restaurant.
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
