All menu items can be made GF except one! Amazing staff awareness, as soon as I mentioned Celiac the server told me about how all their sauces are already GF (including hot sauce on the table!), no gluten goes in the fryer, and they have a separate toaster for GF bread. I had the florentine benedict and it was great, no issues. Only drawback with this place (and why I don’t go often even though it’s delicious and safe!) is it’s usually impossible to get a spot without waiting at least an hour (they don’t take reservations). We specifically went on a weekday and even then it was jammed, but we got a table for two relatively quickly.

Almost all menu items can be made GF. Delish! Had no issues as a celiac. Definitely recommend (if you’re able to get a seat)!

Great experience, seem to have the celiac check boxes all checked with only about 1 or 2 menu items off limits. Had the duck eggs Benedict with home fried potatoes “homies” on gluten free toast and it was delicious. Will definitely be a go to Ottawa brunch place for me!

Only note: it is a small place with no reservations so be ready for a wait. We waiting 25 minutes and they text you.

Today was my first time there, all I can say is oh my God! Why haven't I been here sooner? Amazing food, conscientious business, amazing staff unbelievable food and fantastic portions! Best breakfast potatoes (by far) I've had in 3.5 years. I had the Breakfast Tostados, incredibly delicious & fresh tasting. The Lulo coffee was very good. Can't wait to return!

Almost the entire menu can be made gluten free so there use plenty of choice. Staff are very knowledgeable about celiac issues and confirmed that dishes were gf both when taking my order and when delivering it.

Food is really good - I had Eggs Benedict with duck confit - absolutely delicious.

Highly recommended for brunch.

Absolutely delicious and most of the menu is gf! Servers were very knowledgeable about celiac and cross-contamination. Had the Blackstone Benedict on gf toast with their gf home fries and baked beans. So so good, reasonably priced. It’s a tiny spot and they don’t take reservations so make sure you come early if you have a large group, there was a line out the door most of the time we were here.

Great experience! They asked about allergies and then gave a detailed explanation of how things are prepared when I mentioned I was celiac. I could tell they were trained well and understood the importance. I ordered the classic breakfast and had no issues at all.

Really wanted to eat here but couldn't as they only take Canadian cash or debit. No credit cards. :( Didn't know that till I showed up which was very disappointing. Coffee shop behind does have GF options.

Hands down the best breakfast out that I have ever had! Friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious food! I have Celiac Disease and am very sensitive to cross contamination- I was able to eat here with absolutely no issues!! The staff was super helpful and treated my need for gluten free seriously. Highly recommend.

This was the most incredible brunch I have ever had. I ordered a spicy dish with eggs and bacon and I am still dreaming about it. We will be back! Best Brunch in Ottawa. They were so kind and comfortable with celiac. The neighbouring coffee shop is owned by someone with celiac and they helped set up Wilf&Ada’s kitchen to be celiac safe. 11/10 amazing coffee, amazing food, amazing service

Such a great spot. Amazing menu and they told me everything could be made gluten free. All sauces and sides as well. Nothing with gluten goes in the fryer and they have separate toasters. Food is just overall amazing.

I’ve finally found the cozy brunch spot with instagrammable food that my celiac heart has long desired. Most anything can be made gluten free, they even have a dedicated toaster which is a rare find. Staff was lovely, helpful, and reassuring when I kept double checking everything in my usual fashion lol
