OEB Breakfast Co.

Had the Chasing Chickens bowl GF and was delicious! They make the fingerling potatoes GF by baking instead of deep frying them. I like 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 spinach for the bottom. Be prepared to wait. Excellent service and care for those with CD.

I’m 2 for 2 now at OEB — positive experiences at their North shore and now the Yaletown location. Servers seemed very GF aware, there were lots of good options and I had my first waffle in about 5 years from their dedicated GF waffle maker. I don’t normally look for GF beer at a brunch place, and you wouldn’t find it here anyway. But plenty of good options all around.

I’ve eaten here many times, perhaps 10 times and they always list my order as celiac. One time they brought me the fried fries by accident (as opposed to the roasted potatoes) but realized their mistake right away before I had eaten it. I will continue to eat here and feel very safe!

Update: just ate here yesterday with one of my celiac friends and she ordered one of the sandwiches, and they brought her a gluten bun, despite saying multiple times that she’s celiac…which she didn’t notice until she had eaten 1/2! So unfortunate, because I really trusted this place! It’s also a good reminder that even if a Place is very trusted and does gluten free, there is always a risk!

Just went there for breakfast. The menu was clearly marked and the waitress was very careful asking me about my gluten allergy. When the food arrived she told me she had spoken the the chef to make sure there was no cross contamination.

Lots of great options (definitely more than three options as another reviewer suggested - just talk to the server). Staff is very knowledgeable about celiac disease.

A bit disappointed with the food option, there’s only 3 GF options to choose from . Food was good but not worth the wait to get a table for only 3 breakfast options .

Love OEB! I only eat the Benny’s which are so good. The poached eggs can be a bit runny/undercooked so if you are picky just ask for it to be cooked longer. They have a waitlist on Yelp which you will need on the weekend unless you plan to be there before 9am. They offer a gluten free potato option since the duck fat potatoes have gluten in the seasoning and cross contamination risk.

Ok, that was 100% worth the wait! A diverse and original menu, wonderful staff, and so many options! It was quite a long wait to get in, but once we were seated the service was quick, the kitchen was on point, and the whole place was bright and clean! Ten out of ten!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They were able to accommodate my celiac disease by modifying their menu by small amounts (frying the potatoes in canola oil instead of duck fat). They were called in advance to be made aware of my dietary restrictions and the staff were well aware of what could and could not be had or accommodated. I would suggest calling in advance (and speaking to Darren if possible) to let them know and ask any questions because their website doesn't give a lot of information on their gluten free options even though they're well accessible.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A great experience! The server confirmed the staff are knowledgeable about cross contamination. He confirmed what I could have on the menu: their waffle has its own designated waffle maker and they have oven roasted potatoes that are gluten free (since their regular potatoes have flour) He advised not to do anything fried since it’s shared. But could even create a gluten free pancake. It was an excellent breakfast!

OEB has gluten free specific items, and dishes that can be made GF by subbing for the alternative. This place is great. I always enjoy eating at this chain.

I like the downtown location better - this one is a bit squished for seating when using a mobility device. Again, OEB is excellent at serving those with CD with safe food. I was with 4 celiacs and no issues! The waffles which are GF and served unknown of their status to everyone, are excellent!
