I found this restaurant to be gluten friendly. The staff was well aware of cross contamination and assured me the kitchen takes it seriously. We have gone twice without any issues. We had the Belgian waffles and Huevos Burrito.
There are many items not marked gluten free that can be substituted to be gluten free.

Have been to 2 other locations of OEB in Canada with great experiences so we thought we would try this one. Went this morning. Hostess has no idea if they offered GF options, but said the server would know more. The server admitted that they did. It know what would be safe, but would check with the chef to see what the safest options were. I overheard that entire conversation- the server saying it was Celiac so a gluten allergy and that I was concerned with cross contamination and asked what he recommended. I saw the chef look confused and there was a lot of shrugging during the conversation. They then went to confer with another server. Came back to me and recommended waffles and a wrap.
Given the lack of knowledge of the chef, we decided to leave and not chance it. Ended up at First Watch on Frank Lloyd Wright and had a great breakfast.

Gluten free Belgian waffles and knowledgeable chef and servers! Great about cross contamination if you are clear about your needs as they can accomodate!

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!

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.
