This is a dedicated gluten-free & dairy-free facility, verified by menus, signage, and an employee. I tried a Sunny Salad (Egg) sandwich, which I enjoyed immensely. The bread was slightly over-toasted, but I also acknowledge that gluten-free bread can be tricky to prepare. To drink, I sampled a Dalgona Coffee, which was novel to me and therefore interesting. But I don't think it was prepared quite right-- the sugar wasn't full dissolved, and if I had been asked I would have stated a preference for warm milk to the coldish milk with ice cubes that I received. I had a vanilla cupcake and a slice of lemon-almond cake for dessert. The cupcake was moist and full of flavour, not too sweet. The orange-almond cake would be best served with a cup of black coffee, in my opinion since it has a texture similar to a unfrosted cake donut. Inside is cute! The teal and white colour scheme feels open and airy, and the bright colours make it easy to forget the dark-toned Starbucks that used to occupy the space. Orders are placed at the quick-service counter, and diners can choose seating from a few tables downstairs or venture upstairs to a largest space with additional tables, a washroom, and even and outdoor rooftop patio! Take your parent or grandparent here--...
Read moreAn excellent gem to find if you struggle with dietary concerns. Everything on the menu is gluten and dairy-free and they have a lot of vegan options. The café feels very comfortable and has a home-like quality where you can sit down and relax. The food and drinks are freshly made so it does take some time to prepare, but the employees give you a heads up if something will take a little bit longer to make. It's honestly worth the wait, though! I had the tofu scramble sandwich since the worker recommended it to me (pictured in the last image): it was delicious. I savoured every last bite--even the tomatoes which usually aren't my thing! I also ordered the almond mocha smoothie and an iced chai latte sweetened with maple syrup and both were delicious. If you need any modifications made to your order, the staff are happy to accommodate you. I really felt cared for and seen. The washroom is upstairs and is a bit small, so if you have mobility issues that could be something to keep in mind. But the upstairs also houses more seating with lots of light and some couches for comfortable relaxation. All in all, I would absolutely recommend this cafe and hope to go...
Read moreAmazing food and service. My friend and I got the truffle melt sandwiches with Greek salads and the mini cupcakes. Everything was SO GOOD. I was already scheming up the next time I could visit again since it’s rare for dairy-free and gluten-free food to taste so yummy. I could not tell the bread was gluten-free from taste. Usually, I find gluten-free bread grainy/mealy but this tasted like bread with gluten. The truffle melt part had a slight coconut taste that I loved. The mini cupcakes were vanilla-flavoured with vanilla frosting and glitter. I got two for dine-in and two to-go… would have gotten a box of 10 if they had enough. I also felt glowy after eating here - I was full but the meal was light and nourishing. I did not feel weighed down after the meal. Lastly, the vibe was awesome. The service was warm, friendly, and lovely. The decor was comfy and inviting. Thanks so much, looking forward to returning and trying more...
