Reviewers describe Tapi Go! as a cozy gluten-free haven in Montreal where celiac-safe options and distinctive Brazilian flavors shine, with widespread praise for the cheese bread pao de queijo and the tapioca dishes, as well as the acai bowls and fresh juices. The menu is highlighted for generous fillings, crisp textures, and a strong sense of authenticity, while the small space, warm decor, and Brazilian atmosphere blended with Montreal vibes add to the appeal. Staff are repeatedly noted as friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming, easygoing atmosphere, though a few comments mention occasional slower service.

Thank you for responding. I understand that you take pride in being a gluten free kitchen & that systems are in place to prevent cross contact. I am not questioning your intent or effort. Your food was so good & amazing!
I do want to clarify a few important points, particularly for others with coeliac disease who may read this.
The statement that a contamination issue would typically affect more than one guest is not medically accurate for coeliac disease. Gluten exposure does not behave like food poisoning. Cross contact can occur at the level of a single ingredient, a single supplier batch, a single preparation window, or a trace exposure that only affects highly sensitive individuals. Two people can eat the same food & have completely different outcomes. One person becoming ill does not rule out gluten exposure.
Large batch preparation does not eliminate this risk. In some cases it increases it, especially if an ingredient lot changes, a substitution is made, or a single contaminated input enters a batch. Only guests who eat from that specific timing window may be affected, & that can easily be one person.
Similarly, not receiving other reports does not mean an exposure did not occur. Coeliac reactions are often delayed, misattributed, or milder in others. Many people do not recognize the source, do not connect symptoms back to a meal, or do not report it at all.
I am newly diagnosed & extremely careful & very sensitive. I was visiting from out of town & grocery shopped for all other meals. Everything else I consumed was labelled gluten free or naturally gluten free & ingredients were checked. I ate from your restaurant twice because you advertise as gluten free & trusted that representation. Twice because it was so dam good.
Following those meals, I experienced a severe delayed coeliac reaction. Something clearly went wrong somewhere, even if unintentionally. My review reflects my lived experience & is shared so others with coeliac disease can make informed decisions.
I will email you at the email address you provided.
-----------------
The food was incredibly good, & I would have happily eaten here again. Unfortunately, despite advertising as gluten free, I experienced a severe delayed coeliac reaction after eating here twice that required emergency medical care. This suggests cross contamination or gluten exposure. I'm sharing this so others with coeliac disease can make informed decisions.
We stopped by this café with my daughter completely by chance & had never been here before - what a lovely discovery. The café positions itself as gluten-free & lactose-free, & it truly delivers.
My daughter chose a gluten-free dessert with banana & nut butter - absolutely delicious. I had a matcha latte with plant-based milk, & honestly, it was the best matcha latte I've ever had.
I also want to mention the prices: for gluten-free & healthy food, they are very reasonable & affordable. Anyone who follows a healthy or mindful diet knows how expensive this usually is, so this was a pleasant surprise.
It's great to see more places like this opening in the neighborhood - where you can eat well, feel good, & trust the ingredients. We'll definitely be back 🤍
Tapi Go devrait tout simplement remplacer tous les Tim hortons, c'est 100 fois meilleur!! Svp pouvez-vous en ouvrir un à Terrebonne aussi, le jus fait maison est vraiment délicieux, les PAO de queijo sont incroyables en bouche ils sont chaud & fondant & le tapioca au boeuf effiloché est un must si vous y allez😉💚💙🤌
I would recommend even non gluten free folks to come here & try out their delicious pao de quejo. The best. I wish other cities also had such grab & go gluten free places.

The food is very delicious & the cheese buns are to die for (even as a non-gluten-free eater)! I literally went back two days in a row for the traditional cheese bun; the pepperoni cheese bun is delicious as well, but the texture of the traditional is unmatched.
The staff were very friendly & helpful to English speakers, so definitely pay them a visit if you're from outside of the Montreal area!
Je m'ennuyais de pouvoir manger sans à avoir à apportez mes lunchs, donc pouvoir apportez des gens avec moi pour de la bonne bouffe à un prix raisonnable ? Aucun regret.
If you have coeliac disease, this place is a MUST. Their cheese bread is really good & tasty, I regret not trying their pepperoni one! Their tapioca crepes are soo tasteful & crispy. It's so hard to find delicious gluten free food, but this place is for sure in my top 3. Its a small place, but it's cozy & the music is great.
Se você é brasileiro morando em Montreal e está com saudades do Brasil, parada obrigatória. Bom pra levar os locais pra conhecer um pouco da nossa culinária.
Comi tapioca, estava deliciosa. Açaí, muito bom, pao de queijo, hmmmmmmm sem comentários de tao bom.
Tudo isso somado a um atendimento de primeira, todos muito simpáticos, e serviço rápido.
De quebra ainda compramos uns paes de queijo congelados pra trazer pra casa.
Já estava esquecendo, tem Guaraná normal e diet também. 😄
