Egg Harbor, Café is hands down the best spot for breakfast! They offer a fantastic menu with something for everyone, including a dedicated gluten-free menu alongside their regular options. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service make it an absolute favorite. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Egg Harbor Café is a must-visit for a delicious and satisfying breakfast experience!

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

Green Joe has great espresso, and thats all I've ever gotten here. They always have an array of local artists' wares on display, which is very cool of them. I noticed, as have many others, that they slowly ran out of things and closed down over the last few weeks/months, which was, as a customer, weird to witness. As for the negatives - this wasn't a coffee place you could go if you liked pastries with your coffee. All they stocked was a small selection of gluten free/vegan options, and the ones I tried were honestly the *worst*, inedible gluten free products I've encountered. The atmosphere was cold, I dont remember them ever playing music, and the only appreciable light was cool daylight from the huge windows. All hard surfaces - not a great spot to hang out if comfy cozy Cafe is your preferred vibe. The employees gave a similarly disconnected vibe - almost none of them were outwardly friendly, it was almost like ordering coffee from robots most of the time. Regardless, GJC is/was the only independent coffee shop in a huge radius. Their pricing was great as was the espresso. I certainly hope they can reopen, at least for the sake of all the locals who lived closer than I did. If not, I guess Brewpoint and Conscious Cup are my only remaining options!

This is my favorite restaurant to get GF food. I order & visit here more than anywhere else. I order via phone, have it marked appropriately & they have NEVER made me sick. Their management has trained their kitchen staff very well. Don’t be nervous ordering if the person answering the phone takes awhile placing the order. They’re trying to get it perfect. All restaurants in this area of high turnover rate. The servers, kitchen staff, & management is the BEST I’ve found. They will take care of you.

I had an amazing experience at Mezé Mediterráneo! I tried their gluten-free lamb flatbread, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned, tender lamb with a great balance of flavors. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. The live music added a wonderful touch to the atmosphere, making the evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for great Mediterranean food with a welcoming ambiance, this place is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be back.

Stan’s Donuts has a few branches in Chicago but sadly, none in Dallas—and we miss it badly! They truly have some of the best donuts ever, especially their gluten-free chocolate donut. It’s so popular that it’s usually sold out unless you pre-order the night before or early in the morning. If you’re lucky enough to grab one without pre-ordering, consider it your lucky day! It’s incredibly addictive—once you try it, you’ll keep craving it again and again. The packaging is also super cute, making the whole experience even better. Dear Stan’s, please open in Dallas, Texas! It’ll be a guaranteed hit. If you’re in Chicago, don’t miss out—consider yourself lucky and go treat yourself to the best donut ever!
