BEST GF BREAD EVER!!! Unfortunately it is very expensive thought

they support the queer community and their pastries are phenomenal, especially the lemon bars 😉

First time ordering delivery for a Gluten Free pizza. The pizza was delicious and came in Gluten Free box as expected. Based on reviews pizza did not affect Celiac individuals. Based on reviews items are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. I hope it stays true to this so we can keep ordering it for our family. Thank you!

We recently used Sweet Ali for food to keep a celiac bridesmaid safe for an entire weekend. They also helped us with sweets for our vegan guests. Definitely recommend!

I have Celiac and this place was outstanding. I immediately let the server know I have Celiac and asked about the dedicated fryer and cross contact and she confirmed and said everything can be made gluten free except for the mushroom 'escargot'. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the slow cheetah drink, sweet corn hummus, moroccan onion dip, Big Eye Tuna & Summer Melon, Feta & Olives, Crispy Potatoes, and Lamb & Beef Kefta. All amazing, and I think our favorite of the lot was the moroccan onion dip. They have house made gluten free crackers for the hummus dips that were very delicious and crunchy. I always wait to write my reviews until the next day when I know I'm not sick from being glutened, and can confirm I did not get glutened here. Wish I took more pics of the food!

I could rant and rave about this pizza for hours. Their gluten free, stuffed deep dish is rediculously good. Dont even get me started on the gluten free calzones 😭 I've ordered delivery from here like 3 times this week, it's just so good!

Sylvia Smith

Excellent gluten free options, including blueberry pancakes!

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

Nicholas Sanchez

Very bed establishment. Very accommodating to my celiac girlfriend, and food was delicious as always.

Raj Joshi

We thoroughly enjoyed the gluten-free fish and chips, asparagus dip, and drinks. The ambiance was wonderful, and the service was friendly and attentive. I’ve been craving fish and chips for a while now, and I finally found a place that satisfies my craving.

Irena Savic

Delicious gluten-free burgers! Knowledgeable and family-owned.

Giselle Ballesteros

Dedicated Gluten Free kitchen, and the food was delicious! Raspberry mojito was amazing. Alligator dip was so good with amazing baquette toast, hard to beleive it was gluten free, the texture of the baguette was amazing. The gumbo had perfect amount of spice. The chicken wings were the best. The fettucine had such great texture for a gluten free pasta, totally nailed it. Loved chatting with Chesa! The atmosphere, decor, music, waitstaff, food were all wonderful.

Sarah W

Dedicated GF restaurant with the best bowls! I love the fan favorite.

Michelle Raclaw

Chase was amazing! Made my sister’s bday dinner special & gave special attention to the gluten-free choices to make sure the dishes were gluten-free. 10/10! Highly recommend Aba!

Kurt Hill

Love this place! They have gluten free, covered pretty well also. Food is excellent and the owner is usually hanging around enjoying his customers. Will definitely be back.

Rachel Mandelker

100% Gluten free and so so good! You can bring home taquitos frozen or they can heat them up for you - loved it!!

Lise

Absolutely the BEST GLUTEN FREE meal! From meatballs & onion rings to pasta and then topped off with the gooey chocolate chip cookie for dessert!

April Henry

My celiac family stops here whenever we visit the zoo. ☺️

Angela Spaeth

The entire bakery is gluten free & they take precautions with other allergies as well. Everything is AMAZING! Every time I go I usually get 1 of everything thats dairy free/vegan (and gf of course) and I am never disappointed. The owner/head pastry chef, Lorena is so sweet! She will make your vision come to life for custom orders!

Liv G

Very cautious with allergies. Fries made in dedicated fryer. Gluten free bun or lettuce wrap available.

Wayne Partington

Fabulous gem of a restaurant in the Fulton Market area. Croatian theme cuisine and excellent cocktails. Great vib. Shrimp scampi, charred green beans, risotto with carrots, pork ribs and branzino were amazing! Gluten free and egg free menus also.

Ella Patino

Fantastic GF options - so accommodating!! Food was very good!! Will be going back

Laura McKee

Great gluten free, vegan, and delicious food. Kind people. Nice space

Letty Terrazas

Great GF Pizza. Dough is soft and has a wonderful taste. Staff is really nice. Worth the 45min drive.

C. Lor

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Michael Baron

Rice noodles and knowledgeable on gluten free broth and other items

Kris Hamacher

Food is excellent, lots of gluten free options suitable for someone with celiac. Service is great, but it's very loud and overly crowded. Tables are extremely close and people are often yelling at each other, which isn't how I like to brunch. If you go early it's not as bad.

Hannah McGinty

The food was absolutely delicious. My group of 6 people had food allergies (shrimp and gluten) and our server, Chyane, was very kind and made sure that the kitchen was informed of our allergies. She answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Chyane is awesome!

Nova Sweeney

Chicken pot pie GF is to die for. My family has been ordering from this place weekly for almost a year now since we found it.

Julia Summers

By owner: "We are a dedicated Gluten Free Kitchen! We cater to many food allergies. We are a scratch kitchen, so most dishes can be modified or adjusted. We look forward to serving you!"

Caitlin McAllister

Best gluten free dining experience I ever had

Steven Polokonis

The dosas, idli, sambar, ice cream… it’s all so wonderfully delicious and perfect for anyone anytime, whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten free or not. It’s worth a trip into the city by itself for sure and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

Eva Gandhi

I had a great friend share these with me so cannot speak to the price but OMG best gluten free “baked” dessert I’ve had. I feel so good after eating it and it’s still sweet. Truly perfect. I think the best flavors are the date one and the banana bread cup. And it’s vegan, yay!

Regina Torres

This British bakehouse is phenomenal, personable, and not insanely priced. I'm not even gluten free and I loved it. My friend has celiac disease and is so limited when it comes to wheat eats so we went there as a small group to try it out and have some weekend fun. We each drooled over everything we ordered, (and I have a professional baking background so I'm pretty discerning)... Lemon bars, raspberry cake, other vanilla cake of some kind, sprinkled donuts and lattes. Go get them. Now. You're welcome. When I'm in the area again I will definitely be back for another sugar rush.

Hailey Weeg

Food was amazing! Great gluten free options

Lane Healy

Love it, gluten free!! Delicious

D T

I'm gluten free and they took my restriction very seriously and were so thoughtful and kind! There's gluten free pasta and plenty of dishes to choose from. Customer service was 10/10!!

Matthew Foster

Delicious food. One of the most flavorful fast food places I have tried in a long time. Made fresh to order, delivered quickly and accurately, and great service made the visit enjoyable. Also, a completely Gluten-Free restaurant. I had the Sweet BBQ bowl with chicken, and would gladly order it again.

Bernadette bianca Viñeza

I had pasta al limon with salmon ( gluten free) I chose zucchini as alternative for noodles, it was tasteless and the sauce is less dense like it's a soup unlike the picture, salmon is ok it wasn't burnt and good seasoned. Please correct it. My husband had a BBQ chicken it's good we like it.

Matthew Weber

The food is always top-tier at this restaurant! We are particularly delighted with the options available for gluten-free, particularly their gluten-free pizzas which are indistinguishable from regular full gluten. Just tonight, we ordered a pizza and a pasta to share. The pasta came out with a strange, overly smoky and very large chunks of chewy bacon which we had asked to be cooked crispy, and they very apologetically, took the order back, and at no charge swapped it for a gluten-free pasta dish of a different variety and it’s to go container to take home. The drinks are delicious, and the atmosphere is really nice. Keep in mind that if the temperatures outside are very hot, the restaurant does struggle to maintain a comfortable temperature inside. I noticed this evening that the thermostat was set on 65 but the actual temperature was 83 in the restaurant. Because of the hot temperatures, I did feel some urgency to get out of there quicker than usual. The service is always impeccable, the food is wonderful, and it is worth the hour drive that we often make to enjoy this restaurant.

Elizabeth Nemura

Wonderful cafe with the sweetest staff and tasty gluten free doughnuts, wraps, and THE BEST bacon. As locals we frequent this place -- they take extra care to appreciate every customer. Highly recommend.

Katie Rylko

I've been wanting to try this place for some time and finally made it! I have to eat gluten free not by choice. This is literally the first place I've ever been to where I can eat everything on the menu! Never had this option before this is awesome now I just wish there were more locations this one is 30 minutes away and not in a direction I typically go. I ate here with my 10-year-old and 12 year old. We each got a bowl. The lemon turmeric rice did not disappoint. One of my kids tried the glass noodles they were very good and fun. My kids did not try any of the sauces they thought overall there was a slight spiciness to the dish without adding anything extra. I tried the teriyaki it was good. Oh and don't forget the free miso soup, lovely bonus. The broth is excellent.

Sasha rodriguez

Absolutely delicious! Celiac/Gluten Free friendly. I appreciate the customer service, fresh ingredients, and gluten free sauce options. The space is clean and welcoming atmosphere. Excited to go back soon!

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Patrick Donahue

We stumbled into Baby Doll Bakery after going to the Wheaton Farmers Market. We had no idea this was a gluten free bakery until after we visited. We loved all of the desserts and decided to have them cater my daughter’s 1st birthday party. They were very easy to work with an accommodating after a last minute party date change. The brownies, and sugar cookies were a hit at the party. All of the kids seamed the cake pops when they were brought out. Will definitely order from here again.

Mandy Konior

amazing good with gluten free options!

Dori D

Always a wonderful experience. We shared a salad, pasta course, main course & dessert ; everything came already divided which was so nice. My guest has a gluten allergy and we had plenty of options, no problem
