Risotto is delicious and gluten free. Our waitress recommended brussel sprouts for appetizers, which was 🔥

Raena Woods

Delicious gluten free donuts! Friendly staff and great service

Crystal Hall

Food was delicious and waiters attentive. My mom loved the coffee. They have Gluten Free options including GF bread. Getting a table for two is much quicker (10 minute wait) than it is for a larger party. We went for brunch.

Pictured is their gluten free bread egg and salmon sandwich that waa good. I loved this bakery. It gets very busy during the peak times but the lines seemed to move quickly. Because of how busy they are during peak times, seating can be a bit limited.

Better gluten free bread than most other places I’ve been. Very good service and very accommodating of food allergies.

The two workers there on 5/31 were super nice. Definitely ask for a sample if you don’t know what you want. I should note that everything is dairy free which was awesome to hear! I got the birthday cake ice cream which was delicious and also a 7 layer bar which was soooooo good and also gluten free. Definitely coming back soon!

Second time here, first since the pandemic. Glad we remembered because it's just as good. Tuesday lunchtime and not too busy, surprisingly but I think we just beat the noon rush. We got the Smokin' Jamaican on gluten free bread, the GF tiramisu and a cup of Joe. The sandwich was delicious, grilled in the panini press with some gorgeous grill marks. The overriding flavour is definitely jerk and mango chutney with the turkey being more background and I really enjoyed that. The tiramisu is tempting to look at (see pic) with professional layers and a beautiful whipped cream topping with chocolate shavings. Hard to believe it's gluten free. The coffee is really good if not a touch pricey but it's downtown Boston and there's a Bucks on every corner so they gotta hold their own. All told, $25 plus tip for a sammich, dessert and a coffee. Not too weird for 2025. See you on the road.

Nice cafe with a bunch of gluten-free snack options that have come in handy for me. Coffee and tea drinks are all good, but not standout. Can be hard to find a place to sit as it is always pretty crowded. However, we've always been able to get a place to sit without too much of a wait when we decide to stay. I had the gluten-free chocolate tart, which was rich, chocolaty, and not too sweet. The London fog was acceptable but seemed a bit underbrewed as the earl grey didn't come through strong enough for my taste

Great service, LGBT+ friendly spot and great gluten free options. Worth a stop for a coffee and breakfast sandwich.

Had egg sandwich which was extremely salty and focaccia they used was cold. They give you a number plaque if you dine in, it makes you think they would bring it to you like tatte. They don’t, so I sat down while my sandwich sat cold on the counter… so why don’t they tell you to just wait by the counter? I liked them when I first visited them… not many pastries I wanted to try. Maybe it’s catering vegans or gluten free?

The place was nice however the options for gluten free with the bread choose was terrible. It was hard and the avocado toast with the GF bread was flavorless. So disappointed :(

If I could give this 10 stars I would. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I have celiac and I need to eat fully gluten free and I felt safe here. They marked up their normal menu with all of the naturally gluten free items I could eat, which was about 80% of the menu including desserts. It was delicious and made even better by being allergen friendly.

Vibrant coffee place with superb fruity caramel dark roast and excellent service Gluten free bagels woohoo!!

Was looking for a sit down breakfast but when I got here it was absolutely crowded , so I decided to do take out : it was certainly faster and I enjoyed my goodies and coffee outdoors . This was a really good looking store with a very well presented display of goodies . They have lots of gluten free options to choose from including gf muffins , tea cakes , cookies and meringue. Their regular offerings are equally vast with croissants and breads and many other breakfast pastries . I chose a pistachio filled croissant with an iced coffee . Croissant looked amazing in the display but for me it fell a bit short in flavor . Seemed too plain for me . Also got two gf tea cakes : raspberry and a Halva sesame . These were really good and considering how hard it is to find good gf baked good they were better than the croissant . Worth stopping in early if you want a table otherwise take out is the way to go .

Delicious breakfast with great gluten free options!

Danielle Burton

Gluten Free Beware 😭 I visited about 2pm and every single gluten free product was sold out except for a brownie. Not to mention they had run out of the gluten free soup, muffin and even iced tea…. The employee was extremely kind and caring, tried her best to make my experience better. Super impressed with your staff and will give you all another chance, but please, us gluten free friends are so desperate and it’s really a bummer not to be able to eat anything except a salad.

Their Saigon banh mi was exactly what I needed after a hangover. Sooo delicious. I will say it was a very long wait but the barista + staff were attentive and apologetic. Their drinks were flavorful and unique. Gluten free pastries also available!

Natasha Moodie

During my stay in Boston, I came here for breakfast every day. Very customizable and delicious breakfast sandwich, a tasty gluten free bun, and really great drinks. I had the rose/strawberry matcha three times, and it's delicious. I also like that they offer unsweetened matcha and customization for the flavor separate from the sweetener. So, I had a wonderful rose and strawberry flavor in my matcha, but it was not sweet, which is my preference.

I’ve only have good experiences with Tatte. Food choices are excellent. Excellent Gluten-free options, from the main menu, and baked goods, too. This location is perfect, with easy access to Northeastern and the MFA. I made a silly allergen mistake while ordering, and didn’t realize until the food arrived. The manager went out of her way to handle the issue, and have a new order sent out to me. No questions, no hassle, just great service. I really appreciated it, and I’m happy to recommend Tatte!

While exploring Maverick Square, I stumbled on Cafe Iterum. It's right next to the Maverick T exit (the one on the harbor side of the station, not the exit in the middle of the square). This light- and plant-filled space features 14 seats with ample power for a working lunch. There is additional outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Two kiosks speed up ordering, but the staff at the register cheerfully took this Luddite's order. Service was gracious--everything hospitality should be--and the atmosphere is relaxing and whimsical with playful condiment labels ("Mrs. White Sugar in the ballroom with the candlestick"!) A bookshelf of board games and books ads to the cozy feel. I had the smashed beet bowl and let me say I hate beets but I loved this! Greens, crispy chickpeas, roasted broccoli and eggplant "bacon" all come together beautifully under an herbal vinaigrette. The menu is fairly extensive and offers a few gluten free options, as well as a good selection of vegetarian plates. The cafe brews Intelligentsia and sells beans in the standard 12 oz bags as well as 5 lbs bags for those who want to stock up. This cafe implements a 10% service fee which explains why the POS tipping screen defaults to 0-5-10% According to the receipt, the cafe is facing some rough times, there is a Go Fund Me to raise capital, including a gift card match on donations over $100. I would say it's well worth supporting this gem in East Boston!

We found our way here because of its gluten free recommendations. And I'm told they did not disappoint. In fact, we went here on back to back days because of its selections and overall freshness of the food. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing + love the exposed white brick walls and the displays of sweets is pretty stunning. We enjoyed sandwiches, desserts, cappuccinos-- everything was delicious. Wishing we had one here in Toronto to be honest! Such a great spot.

A little cramped, but the food is pretty good. I’m celiac and i was so excited to learn they had gluten free cones :). for something gluten free they were very good! i got the yogurt flavor and tiramisu (also gluten free, all the flavors are!!!) and it was soooo good. sad to see all the bad reviews on the staff, it was very busy when i went but everyone who was working was very nice too me. they seem understaffed but as someone in food service they were doing a great job, i think a lot of the reviews come from people who don’t work food service… the guy who helped me (dude with all the piercings) was really sweet and was really nice about my allergy and was very helpful with making me feel like my food would be safe. so hard to find celiac friendly places in boston, totally coming back this summer :)

Chili was mostly tomatoes and peppers. Caprese sandwich was good, but soggy. Mediocre GF bread. GF macaroon was good, sugary, and right next to the gluten brownies.
