My friend and I loved this place. I got a cookie and she got the cinnamon roll! You would never know it is gluten free strictly with a taste test. Staff are so nice and accommodating as well!
I am recently gluten free and it is so nice to be able to be able to go somewhere where I could eat everything! I was feeling so discouraged being gluten free.
I bought this bread for my bonus grandma who has been complaining about the gluten free bread at the stores. I surprised her with this homemade loaf and she said its the best bread she has ever had.
Amazing food, neat decor, great staff, & is a very clean establishment. This is a must stop for people with Celiac &/or require a gluten free diet. GF options were plentiful and clearly labeled on the main menu in green. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable about Celiac & said many come in regularly. They modified their 'Shame Bowl' to be GF subbing the gravy for cheese. (Basically a better version of the KFC bowl.)
I absolutely loved that all the decor was of local people, people that worked there, etc. It has a cozy, southern feel with so much to look at!
Tried the German chocolate and coconut lime cakes and both were really good. The cost is a little extreme. 2 slices of cake and 1 cookie was $16. I am sure this is due to the use of almond flour for keto but I only care about gluten free, so may go back, may not.
Partner and I have been coming here for ages, and we don’t even live in KC. It is always a must for us. Great service, great atmosphere, great gluten free options, and excellent food. Often a bit of a wait, but never long. I do miss the calmer vibe of the older days before counter ordering, but I can’t argue with the speed. These folks have it figured out.
We decided to try Blue Bird Bistro on my birthday. We went on a Monday evening and made reservations, however, this particular night no reservations were needed and we were seated right away. We got there at 7:30 and stayed until close, it was so relaxing and we didn't feel rushed. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. The food was a little more bland than I expected but it was still good and hot and fresh. There were plenty of gluten free and dairy free options for me.
The cocktails were great!
Recommend the catfish bites appetizer.
All in all it was a great experience and we will definitely visit again.
I love it here- the servers are knowledgeable and aware of Celiac. I have been here multiple times with no issues, and their menu has a ton of gluten free options!
I am celiac and it was a wonderful experience! Our server Valerie was so knowledgeable and sweet! They have so many gluten free and vegan options! I was very impressed! The food was absolutely amazing!! I got the chicken skewers and the fries. I can't wait to try all of the other gluten free options! I found my new favorite restaurant!
I love when I move to a new area, and I find GREAT gluten free food. But to find the best gluten free doughnuts I’ve ever had?? Wow!
I came into Parlor Doughnuts to try their gluten free vegan flavors, but they also have amazing coffee, breakfast items, and staff!
I first tried their avocado toast (as I can still eat sourdough as gluten free sensitive gal), and I really appreciated the hint of lime and touch of tajin. The egg was a perfect addition. I also got a cortado with almond milk, and it was the best coffee I’ve had in Branson so far!
Onto the doughnuts… I tried the summer special blueberry lemon, French toast (crowd fav), and chocolate chocolate. The texture was so good! It tasted like real cake and they melted in my mouth.
If you’re gluten free…try Parlor. If you’re not…try Parlo. You can’t go wrong!

We had one of the best waitress were probably ever had! At first, my food was not prepared the best ( they were busy) BUT. It was fixed quickly, without fuss and was delicious. I actually just sat and didn't say anything. She noticed and just took action. The gluten free pancakes are fantastic and you can get different kinds, not just one note. OJ is made fresh in the restaurant. Tip: Expect to wait a bit. A large party, call ahead.
This was my first visit to this cafe, and it won't be my last! Stopped by for brunch with my gluten-intolerant friend after a hike and Urban Cafe had so many great options that looked delicious for both of us! We got the Midwest omelette and the truffled mushroom omelette. They arrived relatively quickly and was delicious. On top of that, they did the interior of the place very well; the ambiance was comfortable and the music was great. Great small, local business. Will be visiting again!
Cute place. Friendly staff. Good service. The food was good. But not great. Nothing was "wow that's good, I will be back". It was $30 with tax and tip. I had an omelet with sweet potato hash browns, 2 sausage links, and gluten free toast. Hot cocoa to drink. For a $30 breakfast, I want to be wowed.
Always the best crepes in the state. Sooooo good and gluten free is available for all crepes. I love the French infused atmosphere and the staff. A must visit breakfast brunch spot in the city

This is our absolute favorite donut shop. We had a lot of fun trying to choose our favorites amongst the wide selection of pastries. (They even have gluten-free options)
The staff here at this Branson location were wonderful, light-hearted, and entertaining.
We look forward to our next visit to Branson's Hurts Donut Company!

By far the best lemon blueberry scone I have ever had. I groaned internally when I realized after I ordered that it was gluten free...but seriously the best. You would never know. Their macaroons are creative and fun (lucky charm, shamrock shake etc). And the brown sugar latte was fantastic. I saw someone picking up their birthday cake and it was adorable. The whole team was friendly and warm. A must stop.
This place is amazing!! Fresh tacos, salad, soup. The service is great and it’s a chill environment! Great for gluten free options. Whole menu is GF except flour tortillas! Get the cake!!!
Lakeside restaurant is great. They are easy to get to by the water and the food is top notch. I always appreciate their positive attitudes and service. Great place to get an ice cream also. They even have gluten and dairy free options.
Our waitress messed up my order several times. I ordered the crab avocado toast on gluten free bread. The first order arrived without the crab. The second order arrived with crab, but on regular bread. The third attempt was the exact same plate as the second. The fourth attempt was on gf bread, but with scrambled eggs, not the easy over eggs that I had ordered. I took the last one as everybody else in our family was done eating. Our waitress made no attempt to make this right. To top it off, they rang up the wrong ticket and charged our son for a much larger ticket. Our son had to wait in line for 30 minutes to get it fixed. I was very disappointed with First Watch for Mother's Day brunch.
So many yummy gluten free options! Server was awesome, he was fun. Eric H. Know the menu well and very personable. Hope he's there when we get to go again
What a delightful place! It's so vibey with graffiti'd walls (and ceilings), and an open, welcoming charm. It was relaxed and casual and delicious with HUGE portions without breaking the bank. Options for vegetarians, vegans, and a whole extra menu of gluten-free options (gotta request it). I live thousands of miles away, otherwise this would be my go-to place, especially for my out of town visitors! Loved it!
Waiter was extremely friendly and helpful when we had questions. I was so excited to order gluten free pancakes (gluten sensitive)- I’ve never seen them anywhere! They were SO good and I was amazed they didn’t have gluten. It’s not often you find gluten-free food that is fluffy and not dry! If we are ever in the area again we will be stopping by.
Phenomenal! Great food, great drinks, lovely indoor and outdoor seating - all in a cute little country store. Can’t wait to come back!
They were also very knowledgeable about my gluten-free restrictions, which I very much appreciated!
I’ve lived in the Grove for about two years, and I’m walking distance from Songbird. This means, most days I’m up at 7 am walking my dog past this place to smell all the smells. Great smells, and all for free. I like to think my dog thinks the same, bc he will usually stop and take extra sniffs by this place. Fantastic place to smell, first and foremost.
Okay, you want to know about the food. Yeah, I’ve gotten take-out from here, PLENTY a times. And it’s always going to be the same effing thing. THE COMBO SANDWICH! Please! Cmon! Insane to the fricken membrane! Never gets old! Perfect sandwich, and please know I come from the land of breakfast sandwiches (new jersey) and this place knows how to do a breakfast fricken sandwich. Freshly toasted sourdough, thick bacon, incredible cheese, and that EGG! 😫 With salt and honey on top, please. 🙏 Any time I get this to-go, it’s always warm, egg perfectly cooked, and so easy to order through their user-friendly website. Shoutout whoever does their web-design BTW - love it.
Okay, now you want to know the dine-in vibes. Such a cozy, lovely, well designed interior. It feels like you’re eating at your down-to-earth rich friend’s house who definitely is a NPR contributing member. So like, good vibes. Love the hand-painted designs all over, and the color scheme is not overwhelming, it aids in your eating experience. One bathroom - small, and does the job well. Great bathroom. Every detail of this place is so well thought out, to the cookbooks on the bar, to the little figurines on the sill of the mirror. Also, always love a purse hook! Which there are a plenty of!
The wait staff here - they are professionals. Like true, real deal professionals. My dad still references this phrase someone used - “How was your first chew?” I mean, how does one even think of such an original sentence? Thank you for inspiring thought and critical thinking.
I’ve sat at the bar and at a table. Both spots had excellent back support, and how enjoyable to place my feet wherever I so choose when we sit. Perhaps I swing them! Love the choice. And the open-kitchen concept for the drink making, love it. How fun to watch espressos and kombuchas and teas and delicious alcoholic morning beverages be made!!
Okay, now you want to know about the dine-in food experience. As much as I love that OG sandwich, I was recently diagnosed with a random autoimmune disease that restricts some foods I can eat, including gluten, so I was so happy to see they have a gluten-free option for their combo sandwich! I’m really not supposed to eat a lot of food, but the thing is the quality of ingredients is so incredible, I never have a poor reaction to their meat, dairy, or butter. I love they have partnerships with lots of local businesses, and you can really taste the quality.
Okay, so I know I raved about the combo sandwich, but their menu is so full of variety and they have the best seasonal specials. My dad loves the Kale Frittata, and I’ve also enjoyed their Sprouted Grain English Muffin, and their grits are so yum! Please try everything once, you won’t regret it. Also always get the combo. lol.
Now - the drinks. You might be saying, why is this tiny little Songbird latte $10? Yeah, I wonder that too. I think it’s because of inflation, and also because the quality of house-made syrup, cruelty-free coffee, and delicious milk varieties are just worth it. But hey, don’t want to spend that much? Get one of their insanely delicious teas, matchas, or juices. But don’t sleep on that kombucha. I won’t lie, it’s a bit of a small amount for the price point, but again, you get what you pay for here. My boyfriend tried their Coffee with a Kick as well, and he got a SUBSTANTIAL amount of liquor in that jawn 🤣. Very pleased.
I know it’s a long review, but I must address one final thing. All of you weirdos are always complaining about the wait, and being “pushed out.” Go work in a restaurant once in your life. Please. Learn patience. It’s worth the wait.
When you want to feel fancy, eat fancy, and just be fancy...for breakfast!
This is the place!!
I think my kids love it more than me. The Funky Monkey! It's not for the faint of heart...but for sure do it once!
Pro tip; get a mimosa while waiting for your table!! They use top shelf everything!! Amazing atmosphere; matched with amazing food!
6/5 stars recommended!
Of and yes! Gluten free, vegan options, and for all the Ron Swansons!!! The "meat and cheese" omelet! Just order 1-2-3 meat and sit back and wait!! It's amazing!
My experience at Hatched was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our waitress, Mia, took our order and immediately understood what it meant when I mentioned I have celiac disease. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and made me feel very reassured.
When our food arrived, a gentleman (whose name I didn’t catch) brought it out and mentioned that he is also a gluten-free diner. He explained that they had taken special care with my meal to make it safe, and even adjusted the “Blue Pancakes” by leaving out the lemon to avoid any risk of cross-contamination — while still trying to stay true to the original flavor.
What truly stood out was that after the meal, Mia came back to the table specifically to ask how I was feeling. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed how much they genuinely cared about my dining experience.
Because of their attention to detail, understanding, and kindness, I felt completely comfortable eating — without any fear or hesitation. I can’t recommend Hatched enough, not just for the incredible food, but for their outstanding service and heartfelt care for their guests.
Hands down the BEST gluten free bakery I've ever had. The Almond Heart Cake is unbelievable, so delicious. The pistachio cheesecake and turtle cheesecake are equally incredible. Do yourself a favor and visit this gem!
Great service, good for large groups. Our group of 10 sat outside on the back patio and it was very comfortable.
The food was full of unique flavors. They have lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options. The sweet potato fajitas were perfectly cooked. Equal parts sweet and spicy.
My friend is gluten free and I’m a vegetarian, so it’s hard for us to find places for us to both eat. We were so impressed and absolutely blown away by the flavors, textures, and quality. Everything was amazing and we will be coming back!!! The honey mustard chicken sandwich tasted like a mcchicken and it made me emotional. So good!!
Great gluten-free options! Thank you Wonderful server “Tarn” that went above and beyond to help us out with our specific food and dietary requests. Started with the bubble bar flight, then had the apple and fig salad, so good. Ended with the lobster and gluten-free Mac, but traded out the lobster for steak and it was delicious.
It would be nice if they offered gluten free toast or English muffin. Paying full price and not being able to have a substitution offered or even when asked for what they have in gluten free (fruit or half a waffle) is not accommodating to guests who are gluten free (not by choice). Colorado offers it, they should too.
Terrible service for Tuesday at 9am. The server did not know what celiac was so I only ordered eggs over medium and a fruit salad. They offer GF crepes, and have lots of GF options otherwise, but not safe for celiacs .
We went for lunch/brunch and received excellent service and really great food. The breakfast burrito was superb! The gluten free Nutella menu item was enjoyed but the serving size was tiny. The fig crepe was generous and tasty. The server was fantastic! We had a table in the back area and that was nice. The huge long shared table space was pretty much occupied and would not have worked for conversations.
I forgot to get pics but this place is wonderful. The staff, especially out waitress Dana, was very friendly and attentive. The service was fast and the orders were spot on. The place is fairly large and they were quite busy for lunch but the wait was minimal and food came quite quickly. Prices were fair and the portions were large. The quality was excellent. Breakfast served all day. Lots of gluten free menu options, including pancakes. Large drink menu with a variety of mimosa's featured. Highly recommended!
10/10 will always recommend this Black owned bakeshop. I always go here for gluten free cupcakes and healthy, tasty food options. They have a little something for everyone, they are so kind, and the vibes are immaculate. The waffle fries, cup cakes, Cajun home style breakfast potatoes, tacos, and vegan burgers are some of our go tos
