Tapi Go! is widely praised for a fully gluten-free menu with standout pão de queijo, tapiocas, and açaí bowls, plus tasty coffee and fresh juices; reviewers note friendly staff, a cozy vibe, and good value for gluten-free choices, making it a reliable go-to for celiacs and gluten-sensitive diners alike. The food is described as delicious and authentic Brazilian fare with creative toppings and generous fillings, and many say they would return and recommend to others. However, some mentions warn about cross-contamination risks and delayed celiac reactions, underscoring the need for careful handling in a gluten-free kitchen, and a few experiences cite slower service or higher prices for certain items. Overall, Tapi Go! comes across as a standout gluten-free spot in the area, loved by locals and visitors for the quality, flavor, and friendly atmosphere.
Best'tapiocas' in Canada (that's a typical Brazilian gluten-free tortilla made of cassava), you should try. My wife loves their'pao de queijo' (typical Brazilian cheese-filled bread). & their açaí also is delicious & perfect in summer in their outdoor area on the sidewalk.
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 🤍
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!
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.

Tapi Go! was incredible. We read about this place on a celiac food blog & were SO glad we came. Completely gluten free & celiac safe, the food was delicious & fresh. The cheesy bread balls (I forget the name for them) were to die for, & the passionfruit drink was an absolute must-have. The staff were super friendly, too. We had a wonderful experience here & can't wait to come back.
Little gem of Brazilian gluten-free fast food (tapiocas). You can eat/drink inside (4 small tables) or take away. Very healthy. Easy going atmosphere. Tasty juice. Cheap. Pretty staff. 6 stars!

It's hard to find gluten free options that are actually good. It's easy to find that here. Great food (especially the tapioca taco), & very friendly staff!
Always a delight to eat here. Tastes so good. I love how it is gluten free. Vegan options available which is nice too. I recommend nana hazel & tofu tofu. Good for dine in (some seating) & take out
Had the Creamy Chicken tapioca & the cassava cake & both were delicious. A really great place to visit if you are gluten free. Gluten-free food is often dry & not quite as good as glutenous food. But Tapi Go! have clearly perfected these recipes. Everything I tried was wonderfully moist & had a good texture. Staff were friendly & location is great. Would definitely go back if I'm ever in Montreal again!

I can't believe they don't use oil for their tapioca fries. Omg. They are air fried. The crêpes are all gluten free & they have many vegan options. Excellent service also. The team is so adorable.
This place is good not just for folks seeking gluten-free fare but for anyone seeking delicious & healthy novelties. I have had the mushroom tapioca taco & the one with shredded meat & they were both very satisfying. The cheese balls are a mandatory snack everytime I go, as well. The tropical smoothie is fantastic & my friend had the salmon pink tapioca "taco" & was happy with it.
