We visited for lunch/brunch in a Spring Break trip because of the gluten free/Celiac safe reputation of this little restaurant. We found the staff to be busy but very attentive and knowledgeable. I had the GF bison chili with a locally sourced GF bun on the side. Delicious.

I've come here twice now. My friend is Vegan and i'm not. This place offers a variety for all. I came all the way from Airdrie and my friend from deep south. Worth the drive! Exceptional food and service.. mushroom swiss burger was the best burger I've ever had and my vegan friend had the breafast burrito and said it was awesome.

I had the delicious fried buttermilk chicken, nice and crispy, and absolutely packs the heat with flavour, 10/10 best gluten free (or any fried chicken) I've ever had! The honey sauce they sneak on there is an amazing touch. Sweet and savory gets my vote any time!

Had a great time at this cosy little spot on a chilly winter Calgary morning. The herbal lemon tea and the fluffiest omlette were a highlight♡ And the service was really great as well. The time between ordering and being served was amazing. Would definitely go again!

Classic high quality Canadian brunch. I had Hillhurst Breakfast Sammy and my wife had the Spinach, Sautéed Onion & Mushroom Egg Benedict and we both loved our foods. It’s a small cozy restaurant and you definitely need to make reservation (or join the waiting list) if you want to go there for a weekend brunch.

This is a wonderful little spot. Yes small, but dont be fooled, your meal is freshly prepared, arrives hot at your table, is perfectly seasoned, and served with a smile and some conversation. We had breakfast, now I want to go back and try lunch! And we live 3 hrs away! Worth the trip!

Awesome little place. I’ve been dining here since it was a sweet little ‘Mom & Pop’ restaurant back in the early 2000’s. The place is still a gem. Always a creative menu offered, with delicious food, & generously portioned meals.

This is a hidden gem in Kensington. They also own the coffee shop next to them so if they are full they open seating in the coffee shop. Excellent food and superb staff.

Amazing friendly service. Food was delicious- I had a breakfast burrito and my daughter the eggs Benedict accompanied by the smoothest of lattes. Definitely worth a second visit

Dairy Lane has the best brunch in Kensington. The ingredients are fresh, the atmosphere is cosy, the staff are authentic, and the barista bar is an added bonus.
