I ordered from Busy Bee on UberEats and was very pleased with my order! The breakfast burrito was so tasty and filling; that plus a slice of banana bread made two meals for me! I really appreciated that the sauce is dairy free! The gluten free tortilla was tasty and did not fall apart. The granola and banana bread were both very tasty as well! I'm gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian, and I'm so happy to have found this restaurant that has tasty and nourishing options!
The entrees are very gluten-free friendly. All sandwiches and wraps can be made with gluten-free breads. Our server was very helpful and knowledgeable - he told me their fryers aren’t dedicated to just French fries and gave me a salad on the side instead.
I only tried Alfalfa for the first time 2 weeks ago and today is my 3rd time getting it. Growing up in Jersey City, I love that the founders grew up in the area and they went to St. Peter's Prep. I love that they offer gluten free wraps which are so good. The food is always fresh and exactly as it is described on the website. I will definitely be a loyal customer going forward.
Everyone there is so nice. Their rice pudding is gluten free and soooo flavorful. I'm a huge fan. They also have a perfect key lime pie. Don't miss out on this excellent place!
A tale of two pancakes
This was a takeout order
The buckwheat pancakes were the best I've ever had, however the gluten-free pancakes were the worst I've ever had.
Many places mess up buckwheat pancakes. However, this place knew exactly how to make them and they came out really good. Moist and full of flavor.
The gluten-free pancakes were another story. They were dry. Had no flavor and were very hard and too dense, matching the gluten-free waffle we ordered.
Unfortunately, the texture and moisture content of the gluten-free items made us throw them out after a few bites. They should try adding oatmeal or oat flour to their mix to alter the whole profile of those items.
The omelet I got was cooked perfectly and the home fries were really good. Just wish I had asked for ketchup and hot sauce. Unfortunately they were not given to me which is my fault. I should have asked for them, but most places do automatically give you ketchup at least with an omelette, Plus we had ordered a side of fries also that we should have asked for ketchup for.
I appreciate that this place has real maple syrup that they offer for a surcharge, which I'm fine with because it comes in a nice little glass jar that I could reuse.
They can make you any gf breakfast sandwich on their menu. Delicious coffee options as well!
I didn’t see any other gf specific options or baked goods other than their sandwich bread. But the bread was a nice big portion! No small pieces of bread like what you get in store.
Good tunes, good people, good food. Sometimes I carry out, sometimes I stay in. Everything on the menu is tasty, and lots of gluten free options for my GF friends
Loved the gluten free pancakes served with fruit! Nice serving portion.
Not a ton of seating available, but there was no wait for us on a Saturday mid-morning, and we got seated right away.
Good service and lots of unique dishes!
These are great fluffy bagels with exactly the right amount of exterior crunch. I do the sausage, egg, and cheese and it outcompetes many of the beloved NYC spots. Unlike a lot of places, they even give you some cheese options, the smoked Gouda is excellent. They even have gluten free which makes it an easy place to take friends. I also love the muffins and Balthazar pastries. The owners are super nice and extroverted which helps the whole place have a great vibe. My only complaint is they are so popular it can be a bit crowded at peak times. I would love an online order-ahead option to pick up quickly, but I don’t know if they could do that without the whole place becoming a delivery biker nightmare scene. This place is awesome awesome and something downtown JC desperately needed. So glad it’s part of the neighborhood!
Nice spacious location with plenty of indoor seating. Very clean, both tables and bathrooms. Staff was very helpful! Plenty of Gluten Free options, though you should reference their menu as there are so many options. Convenient to the Exchange Place PATH station and neighboring offices.
Gussy’s is simply the best! I have eaten in house and gotten delivery via DoorDash many times. I have Celiac Disease and always order their gluten free options. I’ve never had an issue. Their Goin’ Back to Cali sandwich is truly fantastic and HUGE.
This time, I opted to get catering for my staff for special breakfast. We included a vegan option and a gluten free bagel option to accommodate staff allergies and preferences.
Gussy’s was easy to work with. Delivery was on time. The food was a great temperature and was delicious. The coffee was excellent too. Staff told me how much they enjoyed everything. Well worth the money for any meal. Plus lots of safe gluten free options!
Best vegan Mac & cheese ever!! And I’ve tried a lot of them. Soo flavorful and satisfying. The Zak is a must try! I love the perfectly smoky mushrooms on top with the delicious sauce. The salad + pico on the side is a lovely fresh addition to the comforting dish. I also had the churro waffle — soo delicious!
Seriously my favorite restaurant on the east coast. The intention, donation based, vegan, organic, gluten free, friggen delicious — not to mention the beautiful garden, free produce fridge out front. I’d love to see more models like this, feels like a real gem in the community
I'm embarrassed to say it was the first time visiting in my 20+ years living in downtown JC. Even worse, I've been to every other taco place and this was my last to visit. If you're getting takeout, I'd recommend another taco spot but if you're eating in-person definitely visit. We had the shrimp ceviche and Carne tacos (5 minis w/ rice & beans for $17, super economical) for food. For drinks, we enjoyed 'The Neil' margarita (w/ one Marlee thrown in) and bubbles option. The waitors were extremely helpful and familiar with the menu. Celiac Annie felt at home and was able to partake in all the food options mentioned. I cannot wait to come back. Total package... Presentation, atmosphere food, and drinks...

Skinners loft was fun. My dining mate has severe food allergies, and they verified that the fryer wasn't cross contaminating with gluten. Super awesome. Most restaurants can't do that.
My dinner had hiccups. I got the watermelon salad, and the lettuce was bad. They fixed it and comped the salad part. Service was impeccable throughout this. The salmon was perfectly cooked, also.
I'll definitely go back. They had some organic options, the fish was wild. Yea, good stuff!
A really cute place with delicious fish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The Islandic salmon is amazing! Staff was attentive and super nice. Music list created a great vibe. I am looking forward to when the garden reopens! BYOB with great mixers.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amazing experience from start to finish. We had a party offsite for 75 people. The whole night went off without a hitch. Diana was easy to work with and her experienced advice was spot on. From planning stage to night of party- exceptionally organized and delivered as discussed. Staff was professional and accommodating with any request. In passing I mentioned a gluten allergy for one of our guests- unsolicited Diana put together a plate and personally delivered it. Aside from all of that- the food was incredible!!! I highly recommend Diana and Casa Cubana.
Great little cafe in the area. Great selection of hot and cold drinks with different milk alternatives for people who are dairy free like myself. There are also gluten free options available here such as brownies and donuts! The ambiance of this cafe is perfect if you want to stop in and work for a short period of time or take a break. The gentlemen here are VERY friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting more often.
I had food delivered. It was amazing! I called to ask about gluten free options. The guy was so patient and nice with all of my questions. I am amazed he spent that much time with me. And the food matched the quality of customer service. This will be one of my go to restaurants. Thank you!
A small cute asian fusion brunch restaurant.
The portions are decent. You get a lot of food and vegetables. I guarantee you get full after finishing your meal.
Every bites were filled with flavor. I recommend trying their vermicelli bowl. They have more western options such as breads and eggs too.
There are options for vegetarians and gluten free.
The coffee could be stronger.
Staffs are nice and welcoming.
A Cozy Hidden Gem in Jersey City!
I recently visited Belle Âme Café, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! Walking in from the rain, I was immediately greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The café is spotless, with plenty of natural light pouring in through the large windows, creating the perfect environment to relax.
What truly stood out to me was their Gluten-Free Brazilian cheese bread. I asked them to use it to make an egg and avocado sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious! The coffee was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot.
To top it off, the staff behind the counter were an absolute delight. Their friendly, welcoming energy added to the overall charm of the place.
Great staff, friendly and involved owner, and it’s very nice to have a lovely place to get food in this area of the city where there aren’t as many options.
I love to see the extended menu since they first opened.. but please 🥲 some more gluten free options would be much appreciated!!
Highly recommend the corned beef hash… I got the full rundown on how this was made- so much effort goes into this dish and you can tell: it’s beyond delicious! I always clean my plate with this one.
My favorite place to go, the food, people, juices, like literally everything is amazing here! I’m so lucky to have this cute cafe nearby and I’m NOT EXAGGARATING, you feel like you are home.
They have Gluten free (GF) muffins (It’s one of the best, never found them anywhere else) and other GF food. 100% recommended!
Really nice spot. Semi limited gluten free options and nothing is clearly marked GF on the menu (however vegan is marked). Food was good but not amazing, prices are a tad high for the food I feel. Great atmosphere though, nice place. The waitress was very sweet (Erika) she was great
Cannot express my love for Hybrid enough! Evan and his team are awesome. They make sure they know you and your order. I go here almost daily for my iced matcha latte. Great matcha. All the baristas are genuinely friendly - Mikey, Michelle, Gabe and Mel. Evan has been working on gluten-free donuts which I had the pleasure of trying and they did not disappoint. Also, if you see the pao de quejo definitely order. Clearly, I'm obsessed
Charming Neighborhood Cafe with a Personal Touch
Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood, this cafe exudes warmth and charm. Its cozy size often leads to a wait, but patience pays off here. We ordered the special omelet of the day, featuring asparagus and Swiss cheese. My gluten-free friend was thoughtfully accommodated with a generous fruit bowl in place of bread. While their lattes were a delightful pick-me-up, their known for pistachio croissant - this is a must-try.
The icing on the cake? The friendly owner, who, even amidst his culinary duties, takes the time to mingle with guests, ensuring everyone's experience is nothing short of awesome.
It had parking in the back and the food was good but very very spicy. They didn't have reuten free options and they're very clear as to what dishes were gluten free and what we're not. For example none of their Dosa items are gluten free. Paneer biryani was awesome so was there medu vada.
I saw this place had a full Irish and I needed it you see because the last one I had was lacking, no puddings, which, it's not like they're my favorite thing but if you're gonna full Irish then go ahead and Irish me fully. And they did. It was delicious food, the breading on the tomato was a nice touch. I ate it too quickly. They had a Brewdog IPA (Elvis Juice) that went well with it, and then let me do a black magic (Guinness and Magic Hat #9).
They were also nice enough to let me move to a bigger table outside when my friends joined for some drinks along with a hairy baby!
Oh and they have a gluten free beer for my partner who said it was great. She wouldn't let me have any it was so good (not true, I was perfectly content with what I ordered). Ten for ten would recommend. Heck I'll take you just to go again. I do wish it wasn't only a brunch thing though.
I stopped by this little coffee shop one evening after work. It’s a small, charming roadside spot with a cozy vibe—just a handful of tables and chairs, but enough for a casual hangout or for folks working remotely. Beyond coffee, they also serve ice cream, baked treats, fresh sandwiches, and soups—perfect for a light refreshment.
I ordered a regular drip coffee ( with cream) and a slice of what seemed like a coffee cake. The cake might’ve been gluten-free (which I didn’t realize at the time), and it turned out quite dense—not soft or spongy as I’d hoped. It also lacked sweetness, apart from a thin sugary crust on top. Not terrible, but nothing to rave about. The coffee itself was very basic—drinkable, but not particularly rich or flavorful.
Service was a bit slow, but to be fair, only two staff members were handling both orders and prep, and the place was quite busy. Despite the wait, they remained polite and well-mannered, which I appreciated.
The food is delicious and healthy. Customer service is fantastic as well. Love that they have the option for gluten free food too!!! Will order again :-D
100% Dedicated Gluten-Free
