Cute place, awesome server, killer food. Tons of different vegan or gluten free options. Waits for brunch are insane, so we got there early. Worth it! The hash browns done in hot sauce are killer, the French toast casserole is amazing, and the care they take for a customer with severe food allergies was unparalleled. You made 4 customers for life- well done! With a killer belini and mimosa to boot. Unreal in the best possible way!
Liza took phenomenal care of us. Food was terrific. My wife has celiac disease and their menu is easy to navigate and the kitchen accommodates GF requests.
They got us seated right away. Excellent server who helped accommodate some requests. (We asked if mocktail versions of a couple cocktails were possible. We came during a quieter time, so they were able to accommodate us - I imagine that would be harder to do at a busier time.) The (Neat and Classic) burgers were very good. One of us needed to order the non-dairy (vegan) cheese and gluten-free bun, so it was awesome that both substitutions were available (and tasty!). I'd also recommend the crispy brussels sprout appetizer and the gluten free cheesecake!
Love their gluten free cupcakes! And their selection of cupcake flavors is huge! Wish they would make a gluten free and sugar free cupcake then their bakery would be hard to beat!
Food is fine, not stellar but definitely but not bad. Average hipster-level diner food, which is fine in my book. Very VERY few gluten-free options. The best part is the venue itself. A cute little old diner car with really cool wallpaper and authentic booths, etc. The worst part- the server dudebro who is bordering on disrespectful- just strangely blunt. This was the 3rd time we went and his weirdness has been consistent. I don’t like complaining about service usually, I know people need work and being in the service industry isn’t making wait staff wealthy, but it’s like this dude has no self awareness. It detracts from the experience.
We’re visiting town and chose this place based on the multiple, creative vegetarian and gluten-free menu options. I’m GF and my mom is vegetarian. I was very happy they had a mock-tail to offer as well. I’m so happy we came here the food was absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced and a relaxed atmosphere.
Such a lovely little place! If you’re veggie or vegan definitely try this restaurant! We loved the Buffalo wings, the plantains and the lettuce wrap. The service was amazing and the cook guided us through gluten free options of their menu! We really loved and are planning on coming back :)
The food was delicious and the staff was really great especially. Our waitress was kind enoughh to inform us the fries are not gluten free when my order was in withh gluten free bread. Good coffee, clean place, nice sized menu withh out being too muchh.
Always been a fan of the Chippewa location. This one is just as great and includes parking. Perfect chill place. Great coffee. Mike's sandwich on gluten free Kaiser was amazing. Regular bread for grilled cheese and BLT was a little dry which was surprising. Other then that it was perfect.
They are good here. I have to eat gluten free which is hard in places like this. They don't have gf bread or pancakes like IHOP. They had turkey bacon which I appreciate being allergic to pork and the Waitress was super sweet and knew gf and said the hashbrowns were ok and the bacon was listed Gf. They gave me fruit instead of bread. It worked.
The Salty Chef's restaurant is a great family friendly feel place to eat! There's a section of the restaurant that is set up like a dining room table area. It makes you feel right at home! My husband LOVED his bacon blue burger. I have celiac disease and this facility is not a dedicated gluten-free, HOWEVER, the husband & wife owners were very knowledgeable of how to accommodate my gluten-free dietary needs. I ordered a cup of Vegan Carrot Ginger soup & Salty Chefs Salmon Cobb Salad. Both were SO delicious! I can't leave out the amazing warm gluten-free brownie topped with homemade fresh fruit compote that I took to go! This is a MUST try place! You will not be disappointed! Thank you Salty Chefs for giving me a worry free gluten-free meal & dessert!
If I could give 10 stars I would. We were a party of 6 celebrating my son's birthday. I have celiac disease and have not ate at a regular restaurant in 4 years, I have stuck to eating at 100% gluten free restaurants because of the risk of cross contamination. A lot of restaurants list gluten free items, but then use the same cook tops, pans, ect ect, so now it is no longer gluten free. I emailed the restaurant in advance and asked if they would be able to accommodate me, and what precautions they take. Wow they were great. The manager didn't make me feel bad, or like I was being dramatic for asking questions. The staff were so knowledgeable regarding my disease restrictions and cross contamination. As soon as I got there the manager said we have all hands on deck in the kitchen and they are all aware of your restrictions. It was so refreshing to be treated well and not like a "Karen". The food was absolutely amazing! All 6 of us were very happy and full when we left. Thank you for everything. It was nice to have a meal out with my family. We will be back many times!!!
Lovely, quiet coffeehouse with excellent atmosphere. Coffee was good, latte was great, but the gluten free waffle was inedible. I originally thought the dough hadn't been mixed enough, but when I complained I was told "that must be the sugar cubes." I've had liege waffles before and typically the sugar chunks are much smaller, not the size of a pea. And normally sugar is sweet. It's a shame because the toppings on my waffle were great and it's so good to see gluten free options. I just don't think the sugar chunks work with the gluten free mix they use.
I had a great experience at Toasted! The Italian Fruit toast was amazing and the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that all my needs were met. I have a gluten allergy, but the gluten-free options were just as delicious and did not impact the taste one bit! The ambiance of the place was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Toasted to anyone looking for a great experience. :)
The Lunch Box catered my sons college graduation party this month and we would highly recommend. The food was incredible and beyond what we expected. We had ordered various sandwich platters which came with incredible sides.
Many compliments from our guests on all of the dishes. The portions were perfect and everything was delectable. The fresh fruit was especially wonderful and we were pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the gluten free options were.
Ben was very easy to work with and so accommodating. We felt the price was very reasonable. We we definitely be ordering from The Lunch Box again!
Love this place! Wait staff is always friendly, food is fresh, high quality and well prepared. Prices reasonable. Great place for breakfast or brunch! Gluten free options that are delicious!
We all loved our food very much!!! Fantastic service, delicious unique flavors! Best creme brulee I've ever had! Only suggestion would be perhaps a few more gluten-free options, they were a little limited.
Can't wait to go back!😋
Extensive and creative menu, lots of gluten free options (have celiac), prompt service, generous portions. Ordered today and got the jerk chicken rice bowl with arugula and mango salsa in size large: two full servings. Flavors were impeccable and spot on. Exactly what I was craving. I will definitely be coming back. So so good, a must try.
The food, atmosphere, and service was exceptional. I had a egg sandwich with a gluten-free bun. Delicious!
I am a disabled person with a above the knee prosthetic. I was meet with exceptional service. On my out one of their wonderful staff members, Danny, walked me to my car. Above and beyond.
The menu is marked with gluten free options. The staff are knowledgeable about gluten free options and are are helpful to answer any questions. The restaurant has an upscale vibe with a really nice atmosphere! However, be prepared to pay big bucks as the dishes are pricy.
We ordered our wedding cake from Fairy Cakes. Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious! We had some guests with dietary concerns and they told us the gluten-free cupcakes we got them from Fairy Cakes were the best they’ve ever had.
Perfect communication. Super accommodating. Highly recommended!
We had a private party here and it was absolutely wonderful! All the food was gluten free and so delicious! The staff were great. The look and vibe of the venue was beautiful and elegant!
Had a late dinner when we arrived and had the pleasure of having Nicole. She was educated on gluten free items, was very friendly and so much fun. We had a fabulous dinner and conversation!
The menu is not marked with gluten free options but the staff were very knowledge about what could be made gluten free. Good amount of gf options. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was very cool! Just a bit too pricy
BEWARE ! I bought a new product for spot coffee. David's cookies. Gluten free chocolate chip brownie, nut free, dairy free, 44 percent sugar, 44 percent added sugar. Total 88 % sugar. No way. Not acceptable. Not healthy!
I eat the gluten free pancakes with egg. It is always good and I don't have a problem with them. The waitress who isn't gluten free says she eats them and loves them
TLDR: I wish I could comment on the food, but we never received it. They canceled our online order without telling us!
My partner and I traveled to Buffalo this weekend for a wedding. Traveling can be challenging because she has celiac disease. We found Owl Eyes Cafe and were so excited about the gluten free options. We placed the order online for pickup with an approximate time 45 minutes from when we placed it. As an aside, I called the restaurant 3 times before placing to make sure there were no nuts in the food. They never answered.
When I arrive to the restaurant, the staff told me they canceled our food order. They ran out of gluten free rolls, so they didn't make it. Which seems reasonable. They didn't make my breakfast sandwich because "the kitchen was confused and didn't want to make the wrong thing."
The obvious problem is 0% communication. They canceled the food order online without ever notifying us. The website says we would receive text updates, but I never did. It seems like basic decency to call. I took an Uber to get there and an Uber back. I wish we would've known.
My waitress was wonderful (I'm bad with names) and the gluten free pizza seemed too good to be true. My husband and I split it. We sat on the patio and got to people watch with AC.
Great place to study, cats are partitioned in another room but you can see them through the windows for those allergic, also they have gluten free pastries!
Panera Bread, which many people know and love, has an interesting history. It started back in 1987 as the St. Louis Bread Company. The company was purchased by Au Bon Pain Co. in 1993 and was rebranded as Panera Bread in 1997. With its headquarters in Sunset Hills, Missouri, Panera Bread has grown into a beloved chain throughout the United States and Canada. One of the reasons for its popularity is the emphasis on fresh, clean ingredients—no artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, or colors from artificial sources. Their menu is quite diverse, offering everything from fresh-baked goods, like bagels and pastries, to café items, such as sandwiches, salads, soups, and specialty beverages. They also cater to various dietary needs with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
I appreciate Panera's cozy, community-oriented atmosphere, which makes it a perfect spot for meetings or casual gatherings. They’ve embraced technology with their Panera 2.0 initiative, which introduced online ordering, rapid pick-up, and delivery services. This has made it incredibly convenient to enjoy their offerings. They even have a line of packaged products available in grocery stores under the "Panera at Home" brand. Panera Bread is also committed to social responsibility through programs like Day-End Dough-Nation, where they donate leftover bakery items to local charities. They’ve focused on sustainability by using responsibly sourced ingredients and reducing their environmental footprint. Owned by JAB Holding Company since 2017, Panera continues to innovate and expand, keeping up with customer needs and preferences.
