Leila Bouabdellaoui

Amazing selection of completely gluten free baked goods! They are some of the best I’ve had, both sweet and savory. I ordered custom decorated sugar cookies for my birthday and they captured the theme perfectly and everyone loved them. The cinnamon rolls are so good😍

We visited Pittsburgh for a day and found this restaurant on find me gluten free. Everything on the menu is Gf except two things. Our waitress Ana was awesome! The food was incredible. The empanadas are to die for!!!!

Great breakfast! Gluten free options

Tiffany Cart

Fantastic little place. The majority of the menu is gluten free and everything is very clearly labelled. We got the yuca fries which were delicious. We also got cheese empanada and black bean empanada and both were very good. My daughter generally will not eat “different” foods and neither of us are fans of spices, but everything was perfect.

Some of the best breakfast of my entire life. Sublime. The namesake pancakes are as good as you'd want them to be, rich, complex, savory. Each variety or different type of cake hits such different notes and is such a delight to try. Even the gluten free pancakes, definitely not my thing, were vastly enjoyed by my mom who because of dietary restrictions couldn't have anything else. She asks me if we can come back here very often. As for anything else here, you may have had better eggs elsewhere I can't speak to that. But the pancakes in particular are of an unreal quality, I've taken friends here and they've agreed with me on how great it is here. And I'm not ragging on the other meals you can have here either, I've mostly stayed pancake exclusive myself, but the eggs I've had were also of an above average quality to say the least. The place is well maintened and really looks like a cheesecake factory, but less, I dunno, in your face? I like it a lot. Very homey, but still classy. Overall, great place, great food, and I've only had great service.

Food, service and atmosphere were all great and my celiac daughter was well taken care of. I'm giving 3 stars because we went on mother's day and they were taking reservations. But the online wait-list nor anywhere else online that we saw said so. So we joined the wait-list which said 10-20 min but it was really 45min. They really needed to take the wait-list offline and post they are taken reservations for that day. Edit: Thanks for the response, good to see you pay attention to customer feedback, I gave you another star for the followup.

Max Little

Great for vegans and people with gluten allergies. And everyone else.

Jill Warren

We had a fabulous night just before the Pittsburgh Marathon. The food was fabulous and the prices were reasonable and the gluten free options were delicious.

This review is about the location in Southside. There's a tl;dr at the end. I did take-away so it was a limited atmosphere experience. Seemed like a normal kind of diner, just more brown and wooden? I was VERY excited when I learned they make gluten free waffles (I have Celiac disease). It's only for the "design your own" section, at least when ordering online. Not for the specials. You also can't specify decaf for any of the coffee drinks (I ordered the signature drink that was supposed to have hazelnut, vanilla, and maple flavor with foam on top). But I figured I could deal with full caf for a day, and if I happened to get there before they made it, I could always ask them to do decaf instead. The order was supposed to be ready to be picked up at 16 past the hour. I got there shortly after that and it wasn't ready. The place was basically empty. As far as I could hear and see there were two tables there, two servers, and two kitchen staff. They were all sort of meandering around slowly, and when one server finally came to greet me, they weren't pleasant at all. I've been a server multiple times in different places, so I know how hard it can be and always try to give the benefit of the doubt, so I was friendly to them and told them my name and what I was there for. They had me sign a receipt (we'd already tipped 15-20% online, our usual for take-away), then set it down and just walked away. Another server came out and started prepping a to-go hot drink and I asked if that was mine and if so, could they make it decaf please, since there wasn't a way to request that online? The server just said "it's not yours," and finished what they were doing. Apparently didn't tell the other server. I waited another 10 minutes before the other server brought out the bag and said "here you go!" (the friendliest anybody had been). I said I still had a drink. The signature. Then I remembered we'd ordered it separately, trying to do it decaf, so I apologized and explained it was a separate check. They sighed and started prepping it and I quickly asked about the decaf, explaining the order issue. They didn't respond, but I could tell they were unhappy about it. I felt badly, but I had been very friendly, and when I was a server I was happy just to have someone be friendly and kind to me. Nobody ever tipped me on take-away orders. I only had 45min to have lunch with my spouse IF the food had been ready on time, which it wasn't, and now because of the very long wait I was going to have about 10min with him. I just wanted to get out of there, so I wasn't paying much attention while the server made my drink. I thanked her when I got it, and rushed out. It wasn't until I tasted it a few minutes later when I was at my spouse's office that I realized it was plain coffee/espresso. I don't even know if it was decaf. But it tasted terrible and had none of the things from the signature drink in it I'd paid for. I wasn't going to go back, obviously, because we had no time at that point, and it looked like it was just those employees on the floor. So my spouse drank it instead because he can drink motor oil if it smells like coffee. Tl;Dr It was super depressing atmosphere inside, servers were rude, food wasn't ready in time, so it ruined rare lunch date with spouse, and I was given plain coffee instead of signature drink I paid for. Lame. 2/5 stars. Only gets even the 2 stars because of the gf waffles, which I haven't been able to have since developing Celiac disease after a major surgery. Those were tasty.

We were kind of find a breakfast place our last day there and we were going to Nikki’s but they were closed and a businessman saw that we were frustrated and recommended the speckled egg in the PGH building Oh my gosh! What an amazing building and the restaurant bar is in the rotunda of the building so you get a great view of the dome inside spectacular view. We ordered breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. I honestly have to say it was one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had dining out, made me fall in love with Pittsburgh , every meal we’ve had was delicious The service was impeccable, very friendly, knowledgeable, and good at recommending food for someone who has a gluten intolerance I had the hen hash with gluten-free toast absolutely delicious!

Anthony

Highly recommend the Sacre Bleu-berry French toast! Had a delicious house made peach cream cheese which was unique. There are a lot of options whether you're vegetarian, gluten-free, etc. The inside was a little dated, but nothing to be turned away from. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive. Overall a solid spot for breakfast, can't see going wrong with anything on the menu here.

Cristal Lopez

I had gluten free bun burger and it was banging. I loved he fries seasoning and Alexis was the best!

Inna Kunz

This is the most amazing gluten free pizza I’ve ever had and I travel quite extensively! It looked the same size, texture, and shape as my husband’s normal pizza which was so nice. The recipe was developed with help from one of their own staff with Celiacs. It was so fluffy!!!! The topping choices were extensive, high-quality, and just so so delicious. If you’re GF, run here!!

Jonnelle Dietz

So delicious & Sarah was amazing helping us out! One of the group has a gluten allergy & she created a menu that was specific to her needs.

Arielle Selya

Really authentic Polish food! They have a huge selection of pierogi as well as other traditional food like stuffed cabbage. They also have a few gluten-free pierogi options which is hard to find. Owners are really friendly and welcoming. A new favorite!

Svetlana Fedorova

Oh, my goodness, love it love it love it. All kinds of crepes, breakfast, sweet, not sweet, dairy free, gluten free, regular, everything! And of course the place. We love walking in this neighborhood for hours.

M J

Really loved this place! The staff is very kind, the food is delicious and has great portions. I'm gluten free and they had a dedicated gluten free menu! I highly recommend the bean dip and the half jerk chicken!

Lindsey Lehman

Kelly was an absolute rockstar. My friend and I are both gluten free and she made sure we had the best experience! We will definitely come back as long as she’s there!!

Andrew Chongaway

I've had their breakfast and gluten free pizza. Breakfast was omelet and spouse had waffles which we been enjoyed. I'm gluten free so I had the gluten free (celiacs) margherita pizza which was pretty good (wasn't bad, similar crust to other gluten free pizza, solid toppings). I'm not super sensitive with gluten free but didn't feel bad after eating there.

Carolyn Scott

Wonderful place for an incredible gluten-free biscuit! I can hardly ever eat biscuits so this was a welcome surprise while traveling. Great pimento cheese too! Friendly staff and super cute place.

Dennis O'Donovan

Interesting place that serves meatballs with any meal on the menu. Fantastic options for my friends who are vegetarian, and gluten free! Our server was very pleasant, however she may have been new. Was very slow with getting our drink refills. Also any other restaurant serves a side salad before the main meal. Not here, it came with the meal...

Megan E.S.

Friendly staff, yummy food with gluten free options. We were looking forward to the tiger shrimp entree, but they were out. The waiter recommended the short ribs (pictured) and the sweet potato with mascarpone (so good). We also enjoyed some mocktails, deviled eggs, wedge salad, and bisque (best I've ever had).

Island Ewert

Amazing place for breakfast. As a person with Celiac disease it's hard to find quality breakfast locations but here they had it all. They restored my desire for breakfast foods. They were also helpful and let me know which items could be accommodated to be made gluten free and those that could not. Helpful staff, delicious food.

Steve Hameloth

Dined here for the gluten free options. The wait staff shared what was gluten free and I believe it was gluten free. We still got sick from cross contamination. It's too bad really as the food was delicious.

The Federal Galley is a neat spot to grab a bite and try some beers/cocktails. The atmosphere is relaxed. We went before a concert at the stadium, it wasn't too crowded and was within walking distance from our hotel and to the stadium. The 4 different kitchen gives you a great variety of options. There were vegetarian options as well as Gluten free buns available. The beer selection was pretty good (you can see it on untapped) and they had a nice selection of cocktails as well as a full bar. We happened to be there at happy hour and our 4 beers ended up costing us about 18$ The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star instead of 5 is the table was dirty, we had to find napkins and clean it off. It is more like a food court, as you grab your water/ glasses and cutlery yourself. The food was delicious and we will probably go back if we find ourselves in town for a show.

Great gluten options

Caroline Nicole

Their gluten free pizza is expensive but the best!!

My chorizo omelette was excellent! They accommodated my celiac diet perfectly.

My wife enjoyed the gnocchi bread bowl however their gluten free pasta options were not the best. Place was packed, so service was a bit slow

Gabrielle Woods

I recently had a severe diet change- no eggs, dairy and gluten. It is hard to go out to eat and I really miss the social interactions that happen around a dining table. My boyfriend and I were coming to Pittsburgh for the Steelers game and I found this little gem. The GF/V donut was to die for- so delicious. I didn't know what to expect with a vegan egg sandwich, since I do eat meat- but WOW. The tofu scramble was so delicious and well seasoned. The GF bread was hearty and delicious. My boyfriend had a regular egg, cheese and bacon sandwich on ciabatta and said it was phenomenal. I am so grateful to establishments like this that have allergy friendly food- it makes dining out fun again and breakfasts have always been my favorite meal. Thank you, we will be back!

Tor Cedervall

I’ll preface by saying I have a severe gluten intolerance, and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. They cleaned all the equipment and changed their gloves before making my order, which put my mind at ease. I ordered the savory classic crepe with buckwheat, I believe someone else posted a photo of it already. Wow, it tastes amazing and fills you up but not in a bad way. The fresh salad is a breakfast addition as well. The coffee, lattes and cappuccinos are also very well made. The atmosphere is very relaxing, nice decor, and the shop is well kept and clean. Definitely give Mel’s a try when you’re in the Burgh!

Lydia Primich

Lots of gluten free options. (Not the gratis chips that come out when you're seated though). Awesome mezcal-itas.

Britts Dips

Upscale brunch, healthier versions of food, they have gluten free toast!

We only had takeout pizza, which was gluten free Detroit style and tasty. The food was ready on time, and the place seemed lively with trivia, and karaoke after.

Katherine de Boer

We had a great evening here! The food was very delicious. Reasonable portions. Our server was wonderful. They were very willing to ensure that my food was gluten-free. The alcoholic pink lemonade (I forget the actual name of the drink) was SO good. It was a little loud, but that didn't affect our enjoyment.

Phoebe Joy

Delicious food and good portion sizes. The way they prepare their tofu is what keeps me coming back to Took Took. It's fried, chewy, airy, and soaks up so much delicious flavor from whatever dish it's in. Perfect for vegetarians. Also a decent option for those with gluten allergies as their online menu does mark what items are gluten free.

Vickie Masters

I have lots of food allergies. 80% of their menu you can order gluten free. The gluten free salmon salad I ordered was delicious!

Brigid Kennedy

Excellent meal and vibe! Would recommend. Great gluten-free accommodation.

Michaela Pershe, Doula

I have loved this spot for years. They always have a vegan and gluten free option which I appreciate. The decor is funky- modern Victorian. And I LOVE that they are open late. I’ve popped in here many nights in between night class and overnight work shifts to enjoy a drink and just relax.
