I called and found it was open until 6 pm and did salads, crepes, and other stuff. He confirmed they do nothing that has gluten, so I could relax. I am GF but also must be DF and SF. It's a tiny shop front, doing mostly lunchtime trade. It has light fare and desserts and non-dairy ice cream as well as normal ice cream. Young oriental trio, cooking in full view. Lots of selection. I had ginger squash and beet soup, with a home made lavash cracker. Both were outstanding. Then a buckwheat crepe with 2 types of mushrooms, tomato, basil, spinach, and vegan cheese. So good. Finished up with a coconut mango ice cream. My companion had the same main and dessert but had an awesome salad starter (quinoa, beet, carrot….15 things in it) and he said it was delicious – he doesn't have to eat GF.

And it wasn't expensive either. Not even $30 (Cdn) for 2 people for 3 courses. Parking is tough… there are some parking garages but little street parking.

This gem of a place for anyone with GF DF SF etc is the
