Lots of gluten-free options. I have some other allergies and they were very accommodating.
Gluten-free fish and chips was absolutely delicious! Honestly, you couldn't tell it was gluten free.
Drinks were tasty and service was excellent!
The overall experience was fantastic! The service, food, and atmosphere were all excellent. I was pleased to find gluten-free options available for my daughter, and my lemon berry crepe was absolutely delicious!
super yummy turkey sandwich and gluten free options! they also make vegan and gluten free cakes. Sarah made me a vegan carrot cake that was absolutely delicious!
This was our first time eating cupcakes from NoRA. I went here to get cupcakes for my husband's birthday since most places were closed that day. The cupcakes that my husband and daughter had said they were fantastic. I have celiac, and I had their GF sweetheart cupcake. Now, I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this was delicious. The cupcake was moist and not dry. The chocolate frosting delicious too. We will be back! Thank you for such delicious cupcakes!
I love everything I've had there, but my favorite is the Mango Sticky Rice.
They have a great selection of gluten free entrees and they offer personalized spice level, which works for me since I prefer a 0 on a 1 to 5 scale for spice :)
I recently visited T-Swirl in Middletown, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The soft opening was perfect, as everything was well-prepared, and the atmosphere was stunning. The food was absolutely delicious, and it was evident that the staff were careful and maintained clean surfaces. The ice cream was heavenly, and the variety of crepes they offer is vast. I ordered the BLT and matcha gelato, and both dishes exceeded my expectations. This place is perfect for a casual lunch with friends or for those who have a sweet tooth. I’m over the moon about all the gluten-free and vegetarian crepes they have. I have gluten-free friends, and this would be the perfect place to treat them to! Overall, I highly recommend T-Swirl for their excellent food and service. A five-star experience!
If you’re searching for a restaurant for date night, girls night out, or even a special event..look no further! Esca has an impressive menu ranging from exquisite cocktails to enticing appetizers and mouth-watering entrees. For appetizers, we had the burrata & oysters on the half shell. Both appetizers were amazing. I had the seafood cioppino with squid-ink pasta, which was the star of the show. The menu has gluten-free options as well. For my dessert, I indulged the GF chocolate torte & YUM. Gustavo was our waiter; he was accommodating and friendly. When we go back, I am definitely going to request him if he’s there. 10/10 recommend
The best food I’ve ever had! Having celiac disease, it’s very hard to find a restaurant that’s trustworthy and always delicious. This place does an amazing job at making accommodations for gluten free eaters! I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those with allergies.
I grew up on Illianos so I'm a little biased, but I have nearly never had anything less than great. I love the pizza, pasta, breads. All great. My sister gets the gluten free option from Illianos even when we go to a different place for dinner.
Contemporary cafe & eatery with sandwiches, wraps and such. Good for gluten-free options (with breads & wraps), otherwise nothing specials. Good option for a quick bite with indoor and outside seating. Averagely-priced menu.
Went back in December 2024 — absolutely phenomenal cafe! It’s so unique and the owners are extraordinarily kind!
My friend and I didn’t play games because we were meeting there for tea. You do not need to play games to sit and enjoy the cafe. However, they do give table priority to those who pay to play games, and will kindly ask you to move if there are no available tables for players that just came in.
It’s $10 per person to play board games for the whole day! They have many bookshelves filled with various board games to choose from that are meant for everyone.
Additionally, (please, correct me if I am wrong. It’s been a while since my visit!) I think they have Dungeon and Dragon nights, or something similar.
I’m not celiac, however I am gluten-free. Gluten cross contamination doesn’t affect me. The reason I mention this is because they have delicious gluten-free brownie. When I ordered the brownie, the staff kindly informed me it is not celiac friendly. Which is totally okay! But, i hope my input helps anyone who is celiac or cannot have cross contamination :)
Long story short: this cafe is a rare gem in Connecticut. If you come to visit, or if you are a local, you must go to Back Again Board Game Cafe! You won’t regret it!
This is our absolutely favorite restaurant and has been for years. It is well worth the drive from West Hartford! Love the food and service. Gluten free options are excellent. We’ll be back very soon.
They have a large selection of pastries and cookies. They even have some gluten-free items which makes us happy because we can pick up a few desserts for our daughter on the way to her house.
We had a business dinner for 20 guests, family style at the Cantina Cafe Ristorante . It was a perfect location for our event with the Coast Guard’s.
Chef Tommaso and Tony, Our server (also son to the chef) were extremely accommodating.👍👍👍👍
Chef helped with our menu selections and made the process effortless.
Tony, made sure that our gluten free guest had plenty to eat, even pasta!!
The food was delicious and it was plenty for everyone and then some.. Wow!
They were able to accommodate us and our budget and we would highly recommend to anyone , for a family night out or a business casual and comfortable dinner.
We are looking forward to coming back for more dinners !
Don’t forget to get the espresso & dessert!!
Loved that they have gluten free and dairy free options. *I will caveat that they did warn that there is cross contamination and I did get a little distended after eating. Pricing is a little high, but the guy working behind the counter was super kind and accommodating. Felt bad for him since he was in the middle of the last hour rush, but he handled it well.
We’ve been going to this Sushi Restaurant for years. We usually sit in or order out several times a month. They never disappoint. Very friendly staff, great/fresh food, clean environment, and reasonable prices. They also accommodate gluten restrictions! And easy parking! We highly recommend them to anyone.
Excellent on all accounts! We had a party of 8 and each meal was delicious. The staff/ manager were welcoming and made sure that our party was well cared for in a semi-private area. Perfect Italian food; gluten-free options were also available. Really nice restaurant!
Wow!! what an amazing dinner it lasted 2 days there was so much of it ! Deluxe veggie combo with gluten free injera!! The Tibis is to die for. The staff was friendly too, and can tell this was prepared with love and care ! I love love love this place will def be visiting them again !
I can't believe that I have lived in CT for over 15 years and hadn't been to this place before last week. Fun place! It reminded me of carefree college days. And they even had a gluten free beer that I hadn't tried before.
I only had some nachos (which were pretty good) so I will need to come back for more data. 😉
A few friends and I went for breakfast here. I ordered the breakfast BLT it was absolutely delicious. This item was on the specials list for the day. There was also a pancake that we ordered, but I can’t remember the name of it offhand, but we did order that and it was delicious. My friend was able to order her breakfast sandwich on gluten-free toast. The staff was friendly and they attended to us well.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5- will go back)
Sometimes places are too quick to say the ribs are ‘fall off the bone’ - because while that is good, it isn’t always best. These ribs aren’t fall off the bone, but they are great. The sauce is unique.
I asked for the brisket ‘wet’ (fatty), and it was good. I got a combo meal to try two sides - baked beans and collards. Both were great.
The combo let me try the bbq chicken, which I don’t normally get. It was good. I liked the dark meat.
All the meats are gluten free / gf. They are very allergen aware, but it isn’t listed on the menu yet. Great bbq in Connecticut!
So happy that Fresh Monkee came to Middletown! It’s a great addition to downtown. The staff is always friendly and the protein shakes are fresh & delicious. I really like that there are so many options to choose from, and that you can customize your order (nondairy, gluten free, etc). Highly recommended!!!
