Ben and Naomi have put together easily one of the best cafes I've ever been to. I only visited twice while in Montreal, but I left feeling like I was a regular. The bread is amazing, the pastries are divine, and the classic Italian-style espresso is some of the best I've had outside of Europe. Whether or not you have Celiac, gluten sensitivity, any other allergies or none at all, I cannot recommend this little fallen piece of Elysium enough.
Not the fanciest bakery and was missing some products, but the food they did have was amazing. It is always great to find these hidden bakeries that are 100% gluten-free. I will definitely be returning.
Since I've been gluten-free (almost two years!), this is one of the few places where I finally feel "normal" when I order a dessert, a loaf of bread, or a delicious meal without having to worry. Everything is delicious, safe, and made with love.
Suzie Sans Gluten has literally changed my life. Their caring team, incredible products, and warm atmosphere make every visit a joy.
I took away the strawberry rhubarb pie/tart. It said gluten free but I was expecting at least a gluten free crust. The fruit was so over baked, it was puree. It was too sugary and not tart enough. The crumble on the top was very sparse. For the price, it was disappointingly a rip off.
The sandwiches are incredibly well-crafted, with ingredients and sauces that complement each other perfectly. You’d never guess they’re gluten-free. Even my toddler (who usually refuses to eat sandwiches) loved it. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. Hope one day to see you guys in my area - i'd be ordering every day!
Ginger snap, oatmeal, and Linzer cookies were amazing!
Fruit muffin with jam filling was light, airy and filled with berries.
It’s always a wonderful surprise when a gluten-free bakery pops up unexpected in a mall you’ve never been to before. You made my day! I can’t add any photos because I ate them all so quickly.
My daughter and her husband took me out for dinner last night and chose this restaurant because it was gluten free. What a win! They were featuring a concert band and we were seated in the first seat, right beside them. We thought at first that it would be too noisy, and it was! But what fun! As my daughter said,
"We get to visit all the time, but when do we get to be entertained like this?" As expected, the food was great and I didn't have to worry about being sick. It was very special, and we will be back.
Just had an amazing experience at Selia Bar and had to share! The entire place is 100% gluten free, which was such a relief — no need to worry about cross-contamination at all. It’s so refreshing to be able to choose anything from the menu without second-guessing or stressing.
There were so many delicious options to pick from, and everything we tried was fantastic. Our server, Erick, was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better with his thoughtful service.
If you’re looking for a safe and genuinely enjoyable place to eat out, I highly recommend Selia Bar. I left feeling full, happy, and totally at ease.
This place was incredible!!! We looked for a safe gf place for our celiac daughter, and this one was such a treat in that it is all gf. But even more amazing was the healthy, plentiful and incredibly tasty meals we had. We left fully satisfied and it kept us going for a very long time. Amazing service as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you for giving us an amazing meal. We hope for Impact restaurants to come to Vancouver, our home.
They had a lot of freezer items, and different shapes of gluten free pastas, which was nice to see. There were also a lot of lovely baked goods in the case.
I read that they had GF beaver tails, so that's why I came. I was excited to try my first beaver tail (newcomer to Canada). When I got it, it was slightly warm on the edges, but refrigerator-cold and damp in the middle. My partner told me they are usually fried, so it should have been piping hot. It was disappointing.
I was thinking about getting a sandwich, but overheard someone ask about getting pasta, but it would have taken 40 min for that. Surprising, since they use the dried pasta they sell to make it.
I had some questions about items, but felt dismissed and almost belittled by the answers. I was off-put by the rude tone, and combined with my disappointing menu item, won't be back.
I'm sure it's fine if you're just going for cookies or frozen goods, but some other folks and myself were wondering if someone was actually there. It took quite some time for the owner to come out from the back. Not sure if that's the norm- maybe they were short-staffed, but don't go unless you have lots of extra time to spare.
Myself and another coworker along with three people we support had dinner at this location. We sat on the patio. My experience at a different Scaddabush location was not that great so I was apprehensive about eating at this location. But it was the best decision we made and that was because Mark our waiter made sure we had a great experience. Mark was Awesome! He was friendly, patient, accommodating and was just over all a great person It was also great especially for the gentleman with us who eats gluten free. Thank you so much Mark! Keep smiling! Keep being Awesome! We appreciate you!
What a treat. I live gluten-free and to be able to feed a little urge for classics like baked goods or a chicken pot pie is just wonderful. And they are sooo friendly ☺️
Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏
An okay diner it feels kinda tight and is loud but the fact it's gluten friendly is a big plus and on top of that the food tastes absolutely amazing, which is hard without gluten. Coffee was not fun and it was super busy. Overall it's a cute place every once in awhile, though I don't think you'd want to make it a regular spot.
Absolutely love Communitea Cafe in Canmore! The vibe is warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and flavourful, and there are tons of clearly marked gluten-free and vegan options. As someone with celiac disease, I felt completely safe eating here. Great service, amazing teas, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend!
New owner (Raj) has really outdone himself! The new layout is beautiful—a fun, fresh vibe for sure! Food is still delicious, lots of variety (the gluten free fish n chips are AMAZING!), and the staff are very friendly. Will come back for sure!

Just went there with my girlfriend and her mom, the owner is super sweet! Everything is gluten free, Gordie explained he's a fellow celiac and gives the place/food careful attention. The prices are really affordable, and the food is delicious and super accessible for people with dietary restrictions and allergies!
Fave gluten free bakery in Kits. The turkey & cheese croissant is a favorite. Alongside their paninis and sweet baked goods. I enjoy stopping here for takeout to bring to the beach for a morning breakfast or late lunch.
I wish I had taken pictures of my food everything was incredible! Our server, Sabrina was very friendly and helped my fiancé and I navigate the menu. This was one of the most gluten free accommodating places I’ve ever been. I wish I lived closer so I come back!
Went for dinner with my spouse on Father's Day. We barley even waited before we were sat at a table. Honestly I was very surprised given the day we were dining. Out server was really warm and attentive. He suggested and I ordered the Pink Gin Froze and it was really nice. Not too sweet but tasty. Would order again. Let our server know we had both Celiac and dairy allergy at our table and was very accommodating. I ordered the Chicken Parm burger on a gf bun with a side of gf mac & cheese. IT WAS SO GOOD and everything I wanted and hoped it would be. The sandwich packed with flavour and the perfect amount of messy. The mac & cheese was cooked perfectly with the gf noodles not overdone and the sauce thick and cheesy. My other half got the BLT chicken sandwich with fries. He really enjoyed it as well. If there is only one suggestion we could make it would be to offer dairy free cheese for the burgers. It's so hard to find dairy free cheese burgers literally anywhere. Given the how the menu is already set up, it would be a cool add on. Anyways, it didn't matter all that much because the chicken burgers were still amazing! We were too full for dessert as tempting as it looked on the menu. Such a great local gem and I look forward to visiting again!
The Next Act is the quintessential third place. The staff is always welcoming and make you feel like you're at friend's place, not a restaurant.
And their gluten free fish and chips is a real treat for those of us with Celiac 🥰
I came here to dine in last weekend for the first time, closer to their closing time and was greeted very nicely and food was very amazing! I love all gluten free idea. My drink was a bit bitter so i went and asked for a different drink, the supervisor (im assuming, short brown guy) was very rude to me and said, “what do you want then?” And then slammed the drink on the floor. This is ridiculous behaviour. I understand the hurry to close but this is not the way to go!
The food: Phenomenal. The smoothies are great, the bowls are savory and full of great stuff, the banh mi wrap is my all time favourite... everything is good, filling and healthy! One of the only places I can eat at that doesn't hurt my stomach afterwards (the girls get it). They serve fast, it's easy to order ahead and have meals that are ready to be taken out and cooked at home.
The service: Even better. They are kind, accommodating, personable and don't judge you when you've ordered the same thing three days in a row.
The location: Feels like a community space. They always have posters of local events, host local artists and it is wheelchair accessible! Based on all my experience there, I'd also say they are neurodivergent friendly - always patient, don't mind repeating themselves and are willing to adjust.
FYI: I'm not vegan or gluten-intolerant. :) I just love good food. Keep it up!
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!

I came in on April 4th, around 8pm, I was an hour late for my reservation, i was having major anxiety and felt like an ass for being so late. Your staff were unbelievably kind and helpful. The staff here were the absolutely nicest I have ever encountered. I was really struggling that day and everyone helped turn my day around (even though I know I was acting weird). I really needed a night out and I am really thankful to everyone. Also having a seperate gluten free menu is amazing!
A go-to spot for us. The staff is always so friendly, and the service is consistently great. We’ve celebrated birthdays there, stopped in for late-night bites, and ordered on Uber Eats — it’s always a good experience.
It’s also amazing for anyone who’s gluten-free or has celiac. They’re super accommodating, and it’s clear they take it seriously, which we really appreciate!
Haven’t tried too many things yet. The buns we got were a little dry but that happens with gluten free baking sometimes. However, the skor donuts are a favourite of ours! So good.
Superb gluten-free options on the menu. The best gluten free pizza and cookies. An excellent small grocery area, as well. Staff are amazing. I work a very physically demanding job and always feel great and energized for my day after eating here.
I don’t normally review , but WOW. I have had a gluten intolerance for a few years now and have recently been taking it very seriously. As you can imagine it’s been hard to find things to substitute things with gluten that doesn't taste like cardboard. If your gluten free THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I had a ham panini , cupcake and brownie all gluten free. I was so delighted how fresh and yummy the bread tasted , the cupcake was just right amount of sweet with a light tasting icing. Oh gosh, perfection. I haven’t tried the brownie yet but I’m confident it’s delicious. Too bad we live an hour away, but I will 100% be returning here soon, worth the trip. Thank you 3 Sisters!
Always a lovely evening on the patio overlooking False Creek. The food and service is great and my partner who has celiac disease never has a reaction. Thanks to Danielle and team for a great meal!
Best breakfast we ever had! We took my husband for his birthday and we love it!
Foos is delicious and they have a lot of options, including GLUTEN FREE!
We love it!!! Highly recommend

Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.
I have been a longtime customer of Big Feast since it opened. I did slow down over the years just due to costs. I have gone back a few times in the last year and have not at all been very impressed (it's not like it used to be).
1.Today I went for brunch, we decided to sit outside but noticed after a bit that it was a bit chilly, so we got our menus and went back in to request to sit inside. Our server told us their heaters were not working this morning then went to get someone else with an unwelcoming facial expression who made a point of saying it is our policy we do not change tables and reluctantly sat us inside. Note it was not at all busy. I am not sure why she made a point of telling us about the policy, it did nothing but make us feel bad like we did something wrong. Instead, she could have said sure no problem and sat us inside without mentioning the policy OR let us know the rules ahead time.
2. The food was overpriced for what you get. I ordered the Thai curry. It lacked flavor and tasted of salt and vinegar. I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago at the cactus club and t was so delicious and cost the same. I had a sweet tooth and went to the showcase and ordered the pecan pie. It was not good at all hard as a rock and no flavor at all. I got my bill, and the pie was shockingly 10$ for a slice. Absurd. I can make whole gluten free homemade pie myself that tastes like something. 7$ may have been a better price. I said to the server the pie was 10$ and she says yep smugly and said it is homemade and the whole pie costs 75$. Ok thanks. If you need a good pie go to Hansel and Gretal bakery.
