Review Cocoabeans Bakeshop And Cafe - Winnipeg

I don’t have any gluten intolerance but momma does. I came here and grabbed her a few treats for her birthday and she was very happy. Will definitely be back.

My friend is not able to eat even a ml of gluten. We went out of our way to go to Cocoabeans. He stocked up for the next week. He was thrilled!! He did a happy dance eating the cookies ❤️ He didn't get sick at all. That's not true for other places we bought food.

I have really enjoyed Cocabeans food over the past several years, especially with a family member who is celiac. However, I'm finding the increased prices and reduced hours hard to swallow. Over the past few years I've found the portions smaller, the food more expensive and the hours difficult. I have always loved their food and want to support local businesses but getting there in a narrow window on the weekend to pay $50 dollars for 4 times making this difficult to do so.

The best gluten free bakery I've found in town since I had to go gluten free. Great quality and value for a fantastic set of products. Huge kudos from me as over the last little while they've modified their bread recipes to be completely pea/soy/legume free; which I really appreciate as someone with a bad legume allergy. Cocoabeans is the only gf bakery in Winnipeg that I have found has done that, and it is a huge relief to be able to see ingredients lists (also rare from gf bakeries) and know that I can safely eat and enjoy. Favourites include their sourdough loaf (personal favourite), teff loaf (fantastic sandwich bread), multigrain loaf (amazing for French toast), teff buns (I got to enjoy a burger for the first time in years!), and sourdough baguettes. I haven't tried any of their cakes or cookies but I've heard great things from others, and also about their ready cake mixes. Highly recommended.

The staff are welcoming, friendly and very easy-going. It felt like talking to friends. I dined in with my sister, who paid for me via gift card. I had the Chicken Tenders entree with an Iced Americano(dairy creamer, added hazelnut syrup), and sister had Today's Special, which was a pulled-pork poutine, as well as an Iced Americano(non-dairy creamer, added vanilla syrup). We also grabbed some Peanut Butter, and Chocolate chip cookies. The food was stellar. Its kind of a stereotype for gluten-free food to be a little lackluster, but I, a gluten enthusiast, enjoyed it whole-heartedly. The entire meal was incredibly well-seasoned, and came to us piping hot. The chicken tenders have a dry rub on the outside, so don't expect something like crispy fried chicken. The fries were out of this world. Crunchy on the outside, soft, pillowy potato deliciousness on the inside. Seasoned and herbed to perfection. The portion size was medium-large, but they also offer snack-sized portions. The atmosphere is really lovely. The only vivid colours you see are a light green back-wall, as everything else is a wood/brown tone. There is lots of natural light, and 2 lights by the counter. For people with sensory issues, I would say maybe bring some headphones, because they do have speakers playing music. The only reason I rated this 4 and not 5, is because parking is incredibly limited. It was difficult to find parking on side streets, and it accounted into a fair bit of walking. The door is also a bit narrow. For those reasons, I believe someone who has/needs mobility aid(s) may find difficulties. They do have accessible seating, and an accessible patio.

Ordered a sugar free lemon cake for birthday, the cake looked good but internally it was too dry and had many undercooked areas. Not worth the $60

Went for a light dinner, checking the place out for a visiting relative with celiacs. On the whole it was pretty good. Had burgers and chicken fingers and their chocolate cake for dessert. The buns were very good, I have no problem with gluten but usually can tell the difference when I have gluten free foods. These buns were great. The breading on the chicken was delicious, crunchy and tasty. The cake was a bit heavy in texture, but still rich and chocolaty,. Saw a pizza on our way out and it looked pretty good too. On the whole, I found it a bit expensive since I don't need to avoid gluten, but for someone who needs to avoid it this is a great place. I would cheerfully go with someone who needs it and look forward to taking our visitors there.

Great staff! Farm to table, creative menu with gluten-free, healthy theme. Excellent brunch with Choco chip pancakes and bananas, side of sausage. Also had the avocado toast with poached free run eggs. Nice Cap coffee.

Was very disappointed .� I’ve been eating gluten free for 4 years, and was excited to find a restaurant I didn’t have to worry in . But after two burger meals a macaroni and couple drinks $60 my kids who eat EVERYTHING wouldn’t eat the Macaroni it was so over cooked it was mushy. ( yes We tried it to to make sure there comments were accurate) I told the staff it seems way over cooked and showed her and all she said was oh. � My husbands burger was so dry aswell .. wasn’t looking for a refund but can honestly admit having 2/3 meals this way was disappointing after all my high hopes! Knowing others who eat gluten free I can admit I won’t be recommending this place � I’m sorry .

This restaurant is a blessing for celiacs!! I finally can enjoy going out to a restaurant without getting sick. I was blown away by the amazing food and the look of the shop. Cocoabeans Bakeshop makes me incredibly happy :) They have vegan options too which is great. Their desserts are so tasty. I am so in love with everything about this place!

Excellent food and treat options. Great location, beautiful decor. My go to for all things gluten free. My favourites include the morning glory muffin, date bar and the chicken salad. And of course, an Americano with almond milk.

I enjoy the food every time I go however but have found the staff both times to be less than friendly, disinterested or helpful both times I have been there in Saturday’s which has been disappointing.

The staff is kind, attentive and very friendly. The food is delicious and very well portioned. We will be back! Thanks for a great evening;)

I am so in love with this place! I have had celiac disease for over 10 years and I can finally go to a restaurant and know for sure I'm not going to get sick! Their whole bakery is to die for! I am so excited this place exists and I will be coming back with everyone I know! Thank you Cocoabeans!

I ordered a special cake on my wife's birthday, but to my embarrassment it was just the opposite to what it looked!! The cake sponge was so hard like it was couple days old and had too much sugar frosting on the top! I will never recommend anyone to go there!

I highly recommend the red velvet cake to anyone. Delicious!

Wonderful menu, stellar staff! Will definitely go back.

Just had the BEST burger and fries from the corydon location! My hubby who isn't gf couldn't believe how good it was. So impressed with this menu and location! Can't wait to try more!

Coconut chicken sandwich with chickpea salad!! ��

We come in almost daily for the delicious muffins but we've liked every product we've tried here. Love the treats, homemade kombucha, great service and the friendly faces. Not just for those eating gluten free products, all around yummy stuff!

I told my husband we may have to emigrate to Canada so I can eat here everyday! :) I've been Celiac for almost 5 years, and I couldn't tell any of this was gluten free. It was such a gift to eat this food. My husband wanted some of the goodies I brought home, and I said, "Hey, that's my gluten free stuff--you can get baked goods anywhere!" He said, "I can't get anything this fresh and good anywhere around here." Whether you are gluten free or not, the friendly service, excellent food, and comfortable atmosphere can't be beat. We will be back soon to stock up.

Went for the first time today and had the coconut chicken sandwich! It was amazing and the people there are great.

My wife and I stopped by to check out the store today and was amazed by the selection. So many things to pick from and tons of GF products to bring home and cook with. We grabbed a couple of muffins for us and PB cookies for the kids. They were amazing! Look forward to going back.

Outstanding!! I'd love to see more straight up paleo goodies. Delicious!
