FIVE VINEYARD

Mernda ·
GF·CoeliacA

Five Vineyard has built a solid reputation among the gluten-free community for its handling of coeliac needs. A dedicated gluten-free fryer is in use, and staff change gloves and move to a separate prep area for gluten-free orders. One coeliac diner reported a safe experience across multiple dishes, including gluten-free pizza. The kitchen remains shared, so some risk persists, though the protocols in place are strong.

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; the chef can be asked to handle the meal.

The menu includes gluten-free options, GF versions of noodle, rice, and mock meat dishes, and staff are reportedly accommodating, though 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.

The cafe’s Facebook page states that gluten-free options are available. Community members on the Atly listing note that staff are well aware of gluten-free needs, and that gluten-free options exist alongside dishes that contain gluten. The kitchen is shared, meaning gluten-containing items are also prepared there. No dedicated equipment or separate preparation area is mentioned, and no accreditation from a coeliac body is listed. This places the venue in a Reliable tier: staff can accommodate dietary requests, but cross-contamination risk remains due to the shared kitchen.

Julia's

Doreen · Italian · Brunch
GF·CoeliacB

Julia's in Wallingford, Seattle, has a clearly marked gluten-free menu and uses dedicated equipment (fryer, waffle maker, toaster) and separate prep areas. Staff are reported as knowledgeable, and one owner has coeliac disease. However, the kitchen is not 100% dedicated, and there are a few reports of cross-contamination incidents. 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.
