I made reservations for Easter brunch and I was not disappointed at all. Being someone who has to deal with Celiac disease, eating out is literally playing Russian roulette. I was in Toronto visiting my daughter and spending some time with friends and in my planning for this trip, I found this place. I quickly decided to give it a try for breakfast and it was so good. I will definitely be back!!
I have searched far and wide in Toronto for the best glutenfree breakfast cookie, and this place is absolutely the BEST! Please never, ever take it off the menu. If you're gluten-sensitive like me with friends/family who love gluten, this is a great option for brunch - everything is so tasty they won't realize they aren't eating gluten. Yummy!
Visited this place recently and noticed overall evidence of bottom line cost saving quality and safety concerns on our breakfast order:_ Rotten avocado, showing highly visible black colouring all around_ Re-fried old potatoes- Very small eggs cooked over water, to save in oil/ butter (water was pouring out of the uncooked eggs)- Milk was pre-poured on coffee- Upon asking for marmalade, it was served on a side dishOther than that, the bread was fresh and good.Overall a regret.

Another great meal at Almond Butterfly. My husband is gluten free which is why we keep coming back, but the rest of the family isn’t and still loves the food.Highly recommend the French toast and the smoked salmon on toast. The banana Nutella pancake is also amazing.For lunch the chicken fingers and grilled cheese are stand out.

I had mixed feelings when the pizza arrived, because I thought this pizza is small for this prize. However, when I took the first bite I quickly had to check other reviews to make sure this place is really dedicated gluten-free. Oh boy is this pizza amazing!It is fluffy and crunchy and has the perfect cheese to tomato sauce ratio. No way in the word would you guess this is gluten-free. Can’t wait to order again!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease and have been a little depressed with how limited I am in terms of places to eat out for a treat. We madebthe trek down to the Almond Butterfly Bistro on a reccomendation from my Celiac community and were not dissapointed. The staff were friendly and kind, the food was delicious and generously portioned and I left feeling happy. I have not felt safe esting since my diagnosis at Christmas 2023. Thank you, Almond Butterfly Bistro!

This place is my go-to for a brunch date with the girls! I always have difficulty choosing what to get as everything i've had has been amazing! The Banana Nutella pancakes and the French Toast are probably my favourite though! The atmosphere is lovely & the staff are so nice! And honestly the $5 mimosas make every brunch date even more fun!
Delicious! A great stop for a gluten free bite. The pancake was a little dry, but still good. The toast was a delicious sourdough (gluten free), the hash browns, vegan sausage, and beans were fantastic! In addition, the restaurant interior is beautiful.

This is a hard review to leave because there wasn't anything wrong. Except that the food was nothing to write home about - bland and flavourless. I wouldn't return because of this at the price point. However, the service and vibes is the selling feature for this place.

If you are ultra rich and want to waste your money to spend on half portion sized, bland food (and if you are okay with eating hair of the staff in your food) please go ahead and visit. So, we visited this place last week monday afternoon for brunch. The mimosas were good. My only problem is the “policies” this place has. I ordered “the west palm” ($20.95). It came on 2 medium sized breads with NO SIDES. Extremely expensive for a basic vegetarian avocado toast. After eating half of one of the toasts i find a hair in it (see the picture). Now, i bring this to the servers attention. She apologises and tells me “oh this happens not an issue” and asks me if i wanted anything else? I then order the Venice beach ($21.95) which she brings out half of the food????? BASICALLY JUST ONE TOAST! And tells me i am giving you 15% off which was $3!I ate literally maybe 60% of the food and paid 85% of the price? Even after finding a HAIR? Don’t compensate at all, i was okay paying full price but at least should have brought the full plate of the second item I ordered. I wasn’t compensated at all which means that they really don’t care about bad customer reviews and service! OR the staff thought that i lied (thank god i took a picture to show it to my BF). So here we are.

We had brunch at this spot on the weekend. The food was good but had higher expectations based on the reviews. However the staff were friendly and the customer service was great. Nice decor and cozy atmosphere.
