We ended up at this bakery by accident today. I hadn’t ever sought it out before because of it being vegan, in my experience gluten free + vegan baked goods aren’t the best. Boy was a wrong, I had one of the best cinnamon rolls of my life here (including glutinous ones). The service was lovely, atmosphere was great and I will definitely be back next time I am in the area, the pie looked incredible.

We had a 4 course dinner for 3. On the first course I wish there had been more cheese. We ran out quickly for the first course. It was very good(Wisconsin cheese).
The salad was fresh but kind of plain.
We enjoyed the broth and meats.
The dessert was very good. We had the chocolate, caramel and pecans sauce.
The waitress forgot our utensils, so we had to wait to get her attention. But they were great about substituting food items for my sons gluten allergy.
The booth we were seated in , had uncomfortable seats. I felt like I was falling into the seats all night. Maybe invest in new cushions?
But overall a good experience . I’d eat here again.
I planned a delightful surprise for my wife's birthday weekend by making reservations at this incredible spot! Considering her gluten intolerance and her love for sushi, it was the perfect choice—plus, it was just a short stroll from our hotel. The menu was not only extensive but bursting with flavor, offering something for every palate. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, truly enhancing our dining experience. Overall, we had an amazing time with top-notch service that made the evening unforgettable!
Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments.
It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.
Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank
EDIT / UPDATE:
The general manager reached out to me immediately to figure out what happened, which I really appreciated. We figured out that their online POS system had a flaw that made effective order communication difficult (specifically when editing an order before checking out). They are diligently looking into the issue to get it resolved, and offered to refund me the amount for the item I ordered that came as a burrito instead of a bowl. My experience now has been improved drastically thanks to their commitment to improvement and customer satisfaction. Thank you again for resolving this so quickly and effectively, JoLa!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I want to give this place a higher rating but I’m a little frustrated with their online ordering experience.
I did my best to pick certain options when editing each item in the online ordering section, but some of my choices apparently did not save correctly (as my receipt reflects a different choice than I actually made — and I triple checked my choices). For example, I asked for one of the items as a bowl instead of a burrito (which is an option they offer). In the receipt though, it says I chose a burrito. I even wrote a note in the “note to restaurant” section when ordering to ensure that it went through correctly (I wrote to them that I chose this particular dish as a bowl, not a burrito, as I try to limit my gluten intake otherwise I get sick). I also chose to add sausage and I got bacon.
So while it seems that their online ordering platform may be to blame, I did preface my preference for the bowl versus burrito and it shows up on the receipt, yet they neglected to pay attention to it. It’s disappointing.
The food is good though. I’d give that 4 stars. Would love for this to be resolved.
Outstanding. The food, the drinks, the service- all excellent. There are so many great restaurants in Portland, this one stands out. I have celiac, I felt so taken care of. Friends of ours introduced us to Lechon today, we will go back.
What a great experience. Family of six and we were all so well taken care of. I have severe dairy and gluten allergies and they checked and double checked any of my food choices. They were friendly m, considerate and very attentive to our entire family.
My girlfriend and I have been regulars at this stand for going on 4 years. They have gluten free food options, which is a massive plus, and their coffee is just plain good. The staff there is always polite, friendly and knowledgeable
This is a great little spot. Wanted pizza and they advertise their gluten free crust is made in house, so we gave them a try. Great pizza, great GF crust. Definitely recommend.
The beers are also very good, but this is Portland so getting good beer somewhere is nearly the default setting, IMHO.
The TV was set to a reality show, which wasn't really great for dinner, but other than that was a fine evening out.
Great food, coffee was also great which I never expect at a restaurant. We had the avocado burgers and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly. They are gluten friendly which is also a huge plus.
This was a little hard to find using Google maps, you have to go inside the bancorps building to find it. Everything on the menu is gluten free except the burrito. Everything is vegan. I had the amazbowl for breakfast. It was a perfect departure from the fried food I had been eating in my work trip. The chef also checked on me several times to make sure I didn't need anything. Would definitely go back!
Also, the owner game me a free piece of cheesecake as I was leaving 😁
Kure offers a variety of downtown vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is consistently friendly, the smoothies are consistently delicious, and their breakfast sandwich is truly impressive!
Great food and the friendliest staff and owner. Recommend it to everyone and is often our go to meal. Great option for gluten free, or dairy free individuals.
Amazing place! I have celiac disease and they were so accommodating. My family loved the food too! They have a lot of great gluten free options and the servers are so knowledgeable about the dishes! They even have a separate gluten free menu. Highly recommend for safely, quality, knowledge, and available options!
We used to love Little River Cafe. It was great place for a decent lunch on our way into town. Husband would get the BLT and I would get the Salmon Salad as I can't eat gluten and that was my only option. The last time we went my salmon was undercooked. The owner was there and remedied it immediately. I know food, and I know when salmon is undercooked. We went there last Sunday for lunch and it is likely the last time we'll go. I know we're all struggling and trying to save money but offering only disposable cups for water was the first disappointment. They used to, at the very least, have washable plastic cups. This is not why I'm writing this review. Every item in my salmon salad was old or, literally rotting. The apple slices were dry and tasteless. The salmon was dry. The avocado was rotting and sure tasted like it. The lettuce, all of it, was rotting. You know when oak leaf turns black and slimy when it's old? That was my whole plate. It was disgusting. It is NEVER OK to serve anyone rotting food. They were busy and the owner was no where in sight and frankly I didn't think the kid behind the counter would give a shit (if you ever watch Gilmore Girls think Brennen in Luke's Diner). So we left. And, sadly, we won't be going back.
I came in with low expectations, I mean it’s a hospital coffee shop… and was so impressed! I got the two egg breakfast with gluten free toast and ate it so fast I could take a picture! The bacon was perfectly crispy and thick, nailed the over easy eggs and the gluten free toast was some of the best I’ve had! For dessert I had a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk and a gluten free salted caramel chocolate chunk cookie. All delightful. Staff was super friendly and I found out it’s a locally owned family business. If you’re at OHSU it’s an amazing option!
Everything on the menu is clearly marked gluten free, they even mark the teriyaki sauce. I ordered macaroni salad for my partner and they packaged it separately in a plastic tub AND wrote “gf” on my box… There were so many other green flags with how the food was cooked and prepared, I so so appreciated how easy and “normal” it felt to order something allergen friendly :)
Wonderful breakfast sandwiches and GLUTEN FREE option for any sandwich on the menu! Yolko Ono is the go to for sure but Sriracha Mix A Lot is also a must try!
I drove past this place for months and finally decided to try them after I googled “gluten free Indian food.” This place is so good. We get the buttered chicken and vindaloo lamb every time. We add in sides like algo gobi and kuruma. The portions are enough for two people to eat two full meals twice. It’s so hard to stop eating it because the flavors are amazing. This place is a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and try them.
My family visited Huber’s while in Portland earlier this month. My ex husband lived in Portland for many years so he was eager to take us to this institution.
My son and his girlfriend had the Spanish coffee and it is a must if you come here.
I’m Celiac with a true milk allergy & like always if I eat out am very cautious. Our waiter was so kind (I get a lot of eye rolls when inquiring about allergens/cross contamination etc.) and spoke with the chef to guarantee all that i had was safe. It was delicious.
The vibe is very old school and inviting as soon as you walk through the front doors. I loved looking at all the historical photos of Huber’s and downtown Portland over the years. We sat in the bar at a table. It was full but service was excellent.
We will be back for breakfast the next time we come.
Spent a my birthday at The Nines and decided to embark on a culinary adventure at the Urban Farmer for breakfast. Now, calling the vegan/gluten-free options "scarce" would be an understatement—I ended up having a hot date with a bowl of oatmeal. Meanwhile, my non-vegan husband, on a mission to conquer his morning hunger, found his soulmate in the form of eggs Benedict. It's safe to say that one of us left with a belly full of oats, and the other with dreams of poached perfection. Let's just say breakfast was an interesting dance of dietary choices, and oatmeal emerged as the surprising star of our morning saga at the Urban Farmer.
Each dish was a masterpiece in itself. Something as simple as olives and chickpeas was elevated to a really delicious dish. The halibut and pork chops were both fantastic.
The service was terrific. One of us eats gluten free and they were extremely knowledgeable about it.
Highly recommended.
I want to love this place but don’t be fooled by gluten free menu designations. I got hit with gluten hard. I had them check with the chef but got hit anyway. Afterwards I checked their status on find me gluten free and sure enough many have had this same issue.
The food is great, the menu has a ton of gluten free and vegetarian options that aren't "oh I guess we'll let you eat" mediocrity, the atmosphere is great, and the service was fantastic. Our server, Jaden, was an absolute hoot and made us feel welcome and at home in the best way possible.
I absolutely can not say enough good things about this restaurant!!
I loved every bit of it.
It feels nice and up scale as you walk in. Perfect for a nice date night.
It has a beautiful blue mix tile floor with a dim lighting but is cozy but still had enough light to talk with my husband and read the menu.
Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and specials. I informed her that I was gluten-free. She gave me a lovely recommendation of sparkling wine to pear with my pork.
The food is full of flavor. My husband and I ordered a little bit of everything, and every dish was more lovely than the next.
We will most definitely be back!
Thank you for everything ❤️
Super small space so I recommend doing take out but like the other Sesame Collective locations the flavors, quality of food, and customer service are superb.
They have a menus marked up for allergies/dietary restrictions (gluten and vegan).
We got the hummus with burnt beef ends (possibly their best dish, were obsesses) and Chicken Shwarma, they swapped cucumbers for pita for me and I was still so full I didn't even miss the pita. Plus it was so flavorful!
Kck catered our wedding, and they did such an amazing job! The food was fresh and delicious, and they provided great vegetarian and gluten-free options for our guests as well. Kyle was always quick to respond to our emails, and he and his team took care of everything on the day.
We stumbled into this place hangry and lost tourists. The servers were very warm and helpful ☺️ ordered all different food and we all were very satisfied for the price. They were very timely too. Thank you 🙏 gluten free option for the avocado toast was great!
Perfect place to stop in on a break from work. Good breakfast and lunch options. Best snack selection in the area. Lots of vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian options. Staff is always nice and food is fresh.
Tim was super helpful and attentive! We're here for a work conference and needed something healthy that met our dietary requirements (gluten free, dairy free) so Poke was a good option for us. When we realized we forgot to get a receipt for the meal Tim quickly found our purchase in the system and printed the receipt for us even though it was easily 45 minutes after we'd been in.
I have celiac so I come here for the lattes and the gluten free soup. The miso tomato soup is so good, though I wish they would bring back the ginger carrot soup. It was so delicious! The black sesame maple latte is my fave, but all their drinks are great. The service is always exceptional and the ambience is really calm. It’s a great place to chill and enjoy some yummy coffee and food.
