Hugs and Sarcasm

My Friend & I were craving Fried Chicken, but we are both celiac so thats hard to find. We both had the Fried Chicken burgers, ceaser salad & fries. We had to take our burger home, there was so much food. The staff were super helpful & knowledgeable. Not everything is Glutrn free, but many things are. Just ask.

Somehow missed this one on previous trips to Toronto. Went for breakfast and decided to go the traditional greasy fry up route. Bacon, sausage, eggs, GF fried toast, baked beans, grilled tomato and some deep fried potato pieces (nothing but GF food goes in the dedicated fryer). My only disappointment was having to forego the black pudding (not GF). Food was delicious, with no aspiration of being healthy. Spotted cans of GF beer (Glutenberg) — didn’t order for breakfast.

Thanks

Service was very good, kind and knowledgeable about my gluten allergy. 99.9% of the menu is gluten free or can be modified to be gluten free. Best home fries I have ever had. The place is a little small but I’d come here breakfast lunch and dinner if I could. They also have Trivia on Thursdays and Fridays.

Absolutely incredible brunch and lunch spot. I've gone three times so far in the last month, and I'm definitely going go be going back. Their entire menu is basically gluten free, and they have incredible British and Irish foods (including spice bags, buttys, and proper full English breakfasts, including gluten free fried bread!) I didn't even think you could get some of the food they sell in Canada, much less gluten free! I can't get enough of this place!

Hi diana111525

Thanks for this amazing review. This makes me so happy. We love taking some of the food we loved as kids and making it more accessible and just as delicious for our celiac/gluten free community.

We will be adding more days to our opening hours in a few months so you can come by any day of the week!

See you soon

Thanks

Hugs Team

Loved the food! I had a crispy chicken sandwich and a pancake and was so happy. I did ask for extra sauce on the burger but it was really good. The bun was fresh and didn’t crumble like a normal dry gf bun. They aren’t entirely gf, but mostly. My friend had a non gf option and loved hers too.

Extremely good food and great service, at a very reasonable price. Up there with the best breakfasts I’ve had since being diagnosed as a coeliac, generous portions, and a wide variety of potential options and additions. Staff instilled a lot of confidence in the no-fuss and knowledgable way they dealt with my queries on the menu. Highly recommended. Wish I’d had time to visit again.

They have a dedicated gluten free fryer with SO many options! I got a yummy crispy chicken sandwich and the home fries were delicious! Only thing I will note is they’ve updated the menu so you can’t get chicken and waffles anymore.

Thanks for your email. We did change the menu very recently as we dont have the bone in chicken any more however you can ask the server about chicken and waffles and they will be happy to order it for you it would just be made with chicken breast not thigh

Hope to see you again soon

Kate

A comfortable spot for brunch - most of the items on the menu are GF and those that aren't can be modified so that they are. Our server was aware of Celiac issues and the food was delicious. I had an omelette with home fries and gf toast; my daughter (also Celiac) had waffles with fruit. Lots of other choices as well. We will be back!
