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!

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!

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
