My favorite bakery! The cinnamon buns & egg sandwiches are unlike anywhere else. Love having access to safe & tasty GF treats!

Kelsey Battista

hidden gem!! cute diner with tons of gluten free options. I let the server know of my gluten allergy, the staff were very knowledgeable. the buckwheat chocolate chip pancakes were delicious- even my non gluten free husband loved! definitely recommend making a pit stop here

Heather Coupland

Great menu, so many options can be made gluten free. Obsessed with the onion rings!

Austin Lieto

Very good for celiac

Laurie Jambor

My celiac daughter and I are never disappointed with the treats we get here!! So delicious!!

Taryn

If you are in need of vegan or gluten free options that actually taste great, this is the spot for you!

Adam Demaral

Perfect spot for a Celiac to have breakfast! Need to open a franchise in Hudson, MA!

Heather Coupland

The staff goes above & beyond to ensure a safe & inclusive experience. Great celiac safe menu! Highly recommended.

Karen LaFleur

I love the GF version of General Tso Chicken.

Rachel Lippin-Foster

Gf friendly!

Genna Mullen

I absolutely love Green Olive. I have celiac and have never had an issue with food, and they have so many options! My only issue is they close earlier than their hours say and it’s not super close to where I live, so when I finally get through my day and am SO looking forward to a good calzone, they’re closed hours earlier than it says online. That has been and is my only issue and it’s so disappointing to me as I can’t get this kind of food everywhere, driving over half an hour away and craving the food to find out it’s closed it so sad :(.

Amazingly flavorful, all gluten free food, wonderful options, absolutely lovely experience (btw the burritos are hugeeee and the taco orders are 1 per and pricey but nice to try a few)

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Bridget H.

We had a great meal at the Engine Room. It was a low key Sunday evening for us. I loved my burger and the gluten free (gf) bun was great. My partner got the fish and chips and said they were delicious too.

Justin Lulejian

Really good indian food with many gluten free options

Gina Wrenn

Tons of Gluten Free Options! Take allergy serious.

Scott Bianco

This is an outstanding little place with great service and amazing gluten-free options with nice cocktails

Leslie Burby

I tried a variety of foods and they were all delicious and the staff were incredibly patient and kind. I will definitely be back. This is nice and close to the New Haven Union Train station.

Jewel Okwuosa

I love this place! Exceptional gluten free pizza. I love that the gluten free pizza isn’t too small. It’s a good size to share or greedily eat yourself as well. I love that I can have any pizza on the menu and make it gluten free. The industrial design with a touch of elegance is a great addition to the ambiance. Waiters are professional and provide good service

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

Peter Wiernicki

Everything here is gluten free - and delicious! We went for the Dubai chocolate, a dark chocolate covered marshmallow, two vegan ice cream sandwiches, and an amazing pyramid shaped truffle that tasted of nutmeg and cardamom. I highly recommend this place.

Kevin

First time they made food which I clearly instructed I am allergic to. Then manager said he'd personally make sure next sandwich was correct. Burger came out with wrong toppings again. No gluten at least. But the burger was so raw that I feel nauseous from taking a few bites of it. Absolutely disgusting

Rosemary Desousa-Lopes

The oysters were so delicious and fresh. Gluten free scallops were flavorful. Lobster ravioli was amazing. We had a beautiful table overlooking the water.

Kendra Day

We had a great experience! Our server, Angel, was the best ever! Full of energy, saved us money, and made our night so special! They accommodated gluten allergies well, and the food was great. We ordered house salads, chicken lettuce wraps, combo pad Thai, crispy honey chicken, and chocolate soufflé. All was amazing! Huge thanks to Angel!

Caitlyn Lac

As someone who cannot eat gluten without getting sick (non-celiac), I'm not sure how this place doesn't already have 5 stars. These are the best gf cupcakes I've ever had and trust me, I've had a lot of GF desserts. Even my brother who can eat gluten said they dont taste gf, thats how good they are. The salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal too.

David Ruderman

Great sandwiches. House made chips. Gluten free options for everything. Near the state beach. What’s not to like ?

Bree

Tried this place the other day - super tasty and clean food! Love that everything is vegan, gluten free, and I think most of it (or all?) is organic. I’d be back frequently, but I live over 2 hours away. I wish I lived closer or that there was healthier restaurants like this near me. I will absolutely stop by again if in the area. I will say it was on the pricey end for me (we got a taco bowl, a sandwich, 3 beverages, and a mini muffin for $60), but I’m not from the area nor do I usually spend that much eating out, including at plant-based places local to me. If you’re from Ridgefield or surrounding areas you might not find it expensive, though… it’s all relative. Plus, you’re getting top quality clean food.

Perrin Brown

Dedicated fryer and very attentive staff for any and all dietary needs

Linda Holian

We ordered for an end of year gathering at our school. They helped us select our menu for 70 plus people which included gluten and vegetarian options. The food was amazing and the service was top notch. The owner delivered the food to our location and helped us set up. Serving spoons, plates, and condiments were included. My favorite was the sesame chicken and boneless spare ribs. Everyone raved about the food. Highly recommend!

Danielle Jenkins

We came here for Father’s Day after I heard they had gluten free and egg free options. My husband has a gluten allergy and my son has an egg allergy, which can make eating out challenging and sometimes more stressful than it is worth. However, that was not the case at The Tea Kettle our server was amazing and double checked everything. The tomato soup and grilled cheese were as good as they looked.

Eric Gugliuzza

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!

TJ McGuckin

Food is always good with a great drink selection of wine and cocktails. Shout out to our server Trevor who was very personable and knowledgeable. He customized a bourbon drink for me that was VERY good. Their in house Gluten Free pasta is highly enjoyed too. We will be back again soon.

Kristian Ording

Enjoyed a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with my Valentine here. Nice atmosphere with a few pretty floral additions and also had a rose for each couple as a parting gift. Very busy with a bit of a line when we were heading out - was happy to have made a reservation on OpenTable. Our server, Jess, was awesome. Super nice with a sense of humor to deftly counter my witty commentary. Since both Sauvignon Blancs in the glass were from New Zealand I wasn’t sure which to choose and Jess was kind enough to bring a taste of each. As we were catching up over a delicious IIPA and a glass of wine from the rather large list (but limited availability for glasses vs bottles), we noticed the music was quite loud - not sure if valentines related or typical. We started with the Farm to Table board which was yummy but should have been called Brussels Sprouts with lots (and lots) of fig jam and a hint of prosciutto. Only a couple thin slices under a mound of fried sprouts. Sprouts were voluminous and tasty but little overdone IMHO. Also needed more salt, pistachios, and burrata. For our mains, we had the Skillet Roasted Salmon and the Nachos. Salmon was very tasty. We ordered medium rare and it was definitely more cooked through. Nice sweetness in the sauce that complimented the unctuousness of the salmon. Could have used a touch more acid and more of the crunch from the pistachios. Toothsome risotto that was very squashy (in a good way)! Nachos were huge with a nice layer of melted cheese and a delicious cheese sauce in addition to the chicken. Definitely a good amount of spice - not sure if in the sauce or only from the peppers. Only criticism was the Arugula. I loves me some peppery lettuce, but just felt like an odd addition on Nachos. Actually, another complaint - Top layer was awesome but you’re left with a pile of baked naked chips underneath. Overall - great atmosphere and good food. Tons of Gluten Free options with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thumbs up!

So easy to east GF here

Cheryl Muldoon

Wonderful little spot in Stratford with phenomenal vegan and gluten free options. We had the black bean burger, chocolate peanut butter bar, chocolate zucchini bread, and the flourless tahini brownie- all were absolutely amazing.

Ashley Berry Neff

So good! So many choices! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. We were seated at the bar quickly. Lucas was our server and he was awesome! I have to be careful about what I eat, since I’m gluten free. Lucas was knowledgeable and assured me that what I was ordering wouldn’t make me sick. As he put it “welcome home” 😂 The drinks were amazing and the tacos were fantastic. Charles came over at some point to help other customers and he was super attentive to them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Sam Stenberg

Cannot get enough of this place. We will drive 50 minutes, absolutely fighting for our lives in Hartford bound traffic, and once we’re seated that experience is completely erased and replaced with a giant bowl of lamb hummus. Please if you get any starters let it be this. I love mixing and matching the small plates and we share with the table. The Brussels sprouts are always cooked perfectly and the batata harra is soooo delicious. Beware if you don’t like garlic (which would be wacky). The desserts are also lovely especially the pistachio cake. There’s a lot of naturally gluten free options on the menu which is awesome and it’s easy to eat here as a vegan/vegetarian as well. I’ve heard amazing things about the whole roasted cauliflower. There’s an open kitchen and you get to see the puffed up pitas come out of the oven. The staff is wonderful and if you’re lucky Bri will be your waiter. She knows the menu inside and out and will always recommend the best things on the menu.

Lucas Cavalcanti

Food is absolutely delicious. Owners are super nice, Most of the menu the menu is gluten free. I just love this place

Winston Trope

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

Joe Plescia

The plate is a typical breakfast and lunch joint, but they are doing a fantastic job at it. They have a wide variety on their menu. And they even have gluten-free options. The staff is friendly and the service is excellent

John Carper

Asian cuisine that is allergen minded! Had a Keto/Gluten Free menu that was developed alongside a nutritionist. Food was incredible! Outdoor seating was awesome and beautifully decorated.

Dan Richardson

What can i say, a service themed restaurant that has absolutely amazing food. I've never had a single bad experience. My wife loves it because not only is the food amazing but they also have a large gluten-free assortment, and the kitchen cares about GF customers

Adam Therrien

Food is amazing, absolutely the best Chinese food I've ever had. Great portion size, the food is so fresh and clean tasting. Great place for gluten free dinner

Gaby

Wow, the service here was phenomenal! All the staff were so attentive and very knowledgeable about allergies like gluten (for celiac disease). Plus the cocktails, buffet bar, meats, and desserts were all tasty. My family and I were so impressed and would recommend.

Chelsea Tripp

Such a wonderful little cafe! The coffee was delicious. I bought one of their specials, pistachio tiramisu iced latte. We also got a BEC and their California BEC, and it was VERY good. Came out hot and very fresh. The service was wonderful and the girls were very attentive. They have vegetarian, gluten free, and keto options. Everything is organic (for those that care about that kind of thing)

George E

Great food, friendly staff, homemade dough and baked goods. Full gluten free menu

Riley Sorrell
