Server was attentive and confident with confirming gluten free options for my celiac partner! We both got a Brekky roll (hers with a gluten free bun pictured). Food came quick and full of flavour, coffees were also perfection!

Really good quick food options for something different. Lots of gluten free options. *im not celiac, just gluten free.

What a welcome change of pace. I went in, frankly desperate for something to eat before a class and wasn't expecting such a gem! The friendly person at the counter reassured me that they could make my sandwich gluten free, the coffee was great, the wrap was delicious and the airy, friendly atmosphere has put this on my regular spot list. I'm going there every week before that same class.

Great place for a quick bagel or sandwich. Had a gluten free wrap that was great and didn’t fall apart. 👍

111 years of history!! Without a doubt, a must-see classic when you are here! Upon entering, one already feels the nostalgia of such an iconic place. The atmosphere, the smells, the people. I tried their famous BAGEL (everything) with plain cream cheese, Gaspe Nova salmon ($17) and I added tomato ($.50) and red onion ($0.50). SPECTACULAR! It may seem like a lot for a “simple” bagel but believe me, it is so worth it! They also have gluten-free bagel and vegan cream cheese options! Follow me for more local tips at @local_bite!

Clinton St was a great find for some lunch. The potato pancakes were excellent for a gluten free option (the apple sauce was incredible) and the biscuit (scone) was fantastic. The staff are busy but super friendly. There was a 25 minute wait as we were walk-ins, you can book reservations ahead of time, just not on the day.

While in NYC, I crept silently out of the hotel every morning while my gluten- & lactose-intolerant boyfriend was sleeping to get a bagel and cream cheese from this place. Back home, I dream of this place and wish my local bagel shops could come close.

Very cute place with fresh food. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I have celiacs and they put the pita separately for my sister so she could still enjoy. We shared fattouch salad croutons on the side and added chicken, it was excellent. Red pepper dip was our favorite. Hummus was so so. Quick and friendly service.

Jorge and team went out of their way to accommodate my gluten allergy and family. The entire dining experience was perfect. Thank you for the great experience.

This place is wonderfullllll - especially late night! ;) My partner and I landed in NY around midnight, and were able to pop in and get some delicious empanadas. A lot of flavorful options, and I'm gluten free which works perfectly with corn-based foods. Love the easy self-service kiosks where you can just order and wait for your food. Still, the workers are helpful if/when needed. There's a limited number of seats/tables, but honestly this place has a to-go vibe anyway!
