Olivia's Cafe restaurant

Olivia's Cafe

Whittlesea · Cafe · Brunch

The kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free, but multiple coeliac diners report a clearly marked allergy-friendly menu, knowledgeable staff who discuss cross-contamination protocols, and a chef who comes out to talk to guests. Some reviews mention a dedicated fryer and food flagged with allergy picks. Two separate locations exist (Orlando, FL and Whittlesea, VIC), each with slightly different feedback; the Whittlesea venue has only one review noting separate tongs, while the Orlando venue has many positive coeliac experiences. The menu marks GF items but the shared kitchen means risk remains — ask for the chef to handle your meal.

Vegelicious restaurant

Vegelicious

Cheltenham · Vegetarian

The menu has gluten-free options (GF versions of noodle, rice, and mock meat dishes) and staff are reportedly accommodating, but the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing items such as wheat-based mock meats (seitan) and egg noodles. Coeliac diners should call ahead to confirm which dishes can be made safe and whether separate prep is used.

Cafe 59 on Church restaurant

Cafe 59 on Church

Whittlesea · Cafe · Brunch

The cafe's Facebook page says 'Gluten free . . options too' and the Atly listing reports that community members note staff are 'well aware of gluten free' and that gluten-free options are available alongside gluten-containing dishes. The kitchen is shared (gluten-full options also offered), no dedicated equipment or separate prep area is mentioned, and there's no accreditation from a coeliac body. This points to a Reliable tier where staff can accommodate but cross-contamination risk exists in the shared kitchen.

Julia's restaurant

Julia's

Doreen · Italian · Brunch

Julia's in Wallingford, Seattle, has a clearly marked gluten-free menu and uses dedicated equipment (fryer, waffle maker, toaster) and separate prep areas.

The FindMeGlutenFree page carries a disclaimer that the venue is not a dedicated GF facility. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

Honest caveat, A small number of reviews report severe reactions or accidental gluten exposure, so caution is advised for highly sensitive coeliacs.
