What a sweet bakery; the owner and workers were very kind and accommodating. Dedicated gluten free bakeries are tough to find, but this one is awesome!
the baked goods are so tasty! my most recent visit here was to get a gluten free cupcake for my friend for my birthday party. I was shocked to see how many gluten free options there were to chose from! she LOVED the gf carrot cake!!
Love this place so much! I got the chocolate bomba whip which had dragon fruit and cacao nibs and it tasked like real ice cream but a lot healthier as it is sugar free, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and the cacao is fair trade. I also love the aesthetic of the place - by far one of my favorite bakeries in Brooklyn!
Most authentic oven-fired neopolitan pizza in downtown BK; BEST GLUTEN FREE crust in the CITY! The evening ambiance and heated / covered backyard are as delectable as the food. This has become a special treat for date night--it feels like a slice of Italy 🍨
I ordered a “sicilia” explicitly asking if there was tomato sauce on it, the waiter said yes. They brought a pizza with no tomato sauce, only cherry tomatoes and eggplants. I asked to add tomato sauce and they added the sauce from the can without even heating it up again.
Also way too expensive for the service and quality of food. Not many vegan options. +5 for gluten free is too much
Good overall, good gluten free pasta. But I find it to be a bit over-rated. Desserts are not that good. Flavor is always off. They’ve messed up my delivery orders multiple times with no attempt to make it right.
We came in on a whim when a nearby burger spot was unexpectedly closed. We loved the food!!! And I was extra thrilled to find they have vegan cheese and vegan dips- which gluten free options as well. We’ve added this spot to our must go to spots when visiting Brooklyn!
Had the best meal and my daughter was able to safely try foods she’s never had before like fried pickles, popcorn chicken… the burgers were amazing and everything was safe. There are a few items on the menu in that are not gluten free but nearly everything could be gluten free and 100% of their fried chicken is gluten free! Highly recommend!
I love Simply Sweets! Their products are always so fresh and delicious! The customer service is excellent as well. As a vegan, I feel so lucky to have this amazing place in our neighborhood. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves healthy, gluten free, plant-based, vegan, and of course delicious sweets!
This is my favorite casual gluten free breakfast in Brooklyn. The staff is aware of allergies, the gf pancakes are so solid, and there are so many options. Everything is good and there is a real sense of nutritional intentionality behind the menu. I have celiacs and have never gotten sick here, even while ordering it online for
Delivery.
The knockout tea is truly medicinal. Everyone loves this places.
This place is a great Italian restaurant to go to for gluten free pasta! All their main dishes can be made with substitute gluten free pasta. Came here with my celiac friend and she was very happy to be able to choose. The ricotta ravioli were good, but I would mainly come back for the octopus appetiser! Cozy place, good service. Had a really nice time!
Literally the best vegan food i've had in ages (easily adaptable to vegan and gluten-free options).
The food is extremely tasty, there are many options and the staff is adorable.
I highly recommend!!
The gluten free crust is very tastey BUT unfortunately this place is not celiacs safe. I’ve had the pizza here many times and I always get sick. Cross contamination is unavoidable which makes sense for a pizza place.
This place is truly a gem. I adore this place and love bringing people here to show off the neighborhood. The platter for two is massive and can really feed three people. Everything is vegetarian! Gluten free injera bread is available but it is first come first serve, as they only make a limited amount per day. That being said, I’ve never had an issue getting it so if you have celiac or are gluten free, this is definitely a great place to try! The food feels super healthy and doesn’t leave you feeling gross, plus the coffee is outstanding. If you can go for the coffee experience, it is so worth it! Love Bunna!!!
I absolutely love these gluten free bagels! I've tried a variety of the flavors now and they do NOT disappoint. They're flavorful and the texture is great. Do yourself a favor and order some! I don't even need to eat gluten free and I still keep coming back for more and would highly recommend to anyone!
Definitely an added bonus that the owner is an absolute delight and has included a personal note with each of my orders. Such a great touch to already super cute packaging!
I had my birthday brunch here this past weekend. Miro helped plan a prefixe menu for my group of 15 guests that accommodated for omnivore, gluten free, and vegetarian diets, as well as a shrimp allergy.
I was in touch with him several times in the month leading up to my event as my guests confirmed or cancelled their reservations and as new dietary needs came up even up until the several days before our reservation. I was so grateful for Miro’s clear and timely communication throughout, as well as for all the accommodations he was able to make for us.
The food was awesome on the day of the event — in particular we loved the five spice fried chicken and waffle dish, the spicy noodle stir fry, the imperial rolls, and the slow cooked lamb buns. We also got the papaya salad, and coconut french toast, which were also delicious. For my gluten free guests, they made gluten free vietnamese crepe. 💕 My group was extremely well fed, the backyard ambience was relaxed and leisurely, and service was great.
Price was $50 per person, not including drinks — for the quality of the food and the fantastic service, this was absolutely worth it.
I had a fabulous birthday here, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! Thank you again to Miro and the service staff day of for making my birthday brunch so wonderful 💖
Lovely big open space. Great selection of vegan & vegan gluten free options. I had a corn muffin thing recently that was delicious but monkey bread is still my #1.
One of our favourite places to eat in NYC (and we live here!) really creative, delicious and nutritious food, awesome service, lots of deals and a really light and fun vibe. Great cocktails, a good choice of wine and lots of gluten-free options too. Shout out to Ben H for making this particular visit so lovely - wonderful human!
I cannot recommend LaRina highly enough for large parties with dietary restrictions! 10/10 experience! In our party of 7, we had someone with celiac, a shellfish allergy, and a severe nut allergy. They were super accommodating and all the staff was very knowledgable about which allergens were in which dishes. They made gluten free pasta for the person with celiac and wiped down the meat cutting machine before cutting out prosciutto so that the person with the nut allergy could eat it. Atmosphere is lovely, staff is friendly and food is delicious! Thank you LaRina!
This was my first order from The Gluten Free Shoppe. I was very much looking forward to the products especially the gluten free pastry sheet. I was very disappointed to receive the box with all contents inside warm. The "frozen" pastry was warm to the touch and the tiny little bags that were supposed to be frozen were also warm. There was no foam insulation or any packing in the box whatsoever. Since I work from home, I was able to bring the box inside and open it as soon as it was delivered. So there is NO reason for the products arriving in this condition. Furthermore, the boxes of pastry were damaged and corners torn off due to zero packaging on the inside.
This is completely unacceptable. I should have read the reviews before ordering but I won't be a repeat customer.

I've been here a bunch of times and recently went again. It was great!
The vegetarian combo was fantastic as always. I think this place has my favorite injera. I've been here with a gluten-free friend and they offer a gluten-free injera option - so great! The lentil sambusa was flavorful and delicious, a great option for kids. Although, you should be sure that your kid can handle flavor and texture and spice; this isn't a place for buttered noodle kids.
The service is always good and the space is nice.
We sat in the back which was fully enclosed, so that was lovely. I've been back there before in the summer, but was happy to see the enclosure was comfortable.
Outstanding food, whether you are vegan or no. Go in and just get any to-go foods to get started. Opens early, around 7:30 am, so you can pick up items for lunch. I have loved the to-go crunchy peanut salad, the sesame noodles, the lasagna, and the incredibly filling and healthy breakfast burrito. All fabulous. (Lasagna also comes in a large size and easily feeds 5-6. They even offer a gluten free version which I just served for a dinner party.) The owner is an inspiration. I cannot say enough positive about the quality.
The gluten free bagel was insanely good!!!! Best gluten free bagel in NYC hands down. I had to do a double take and make sure I was indeed eating a gluten free bagel - it tasted thag good! The ladies are very friendly and created a lovely atmosphere.
Clean eating but kind of boring for the price. Good for dietary restrictions like gluten free stuff. Just not very exciting and not very large portions so didn't like the price was entirely justified. The non alcoholic drinks are a rip off for sure. $12 for like 4 oz of juice essentially. That was a little steep. Service was very good however, atmosphere was nice. Went for brunch so the wait for the food was a bit long. Fresh juices were very good.

Great place definitely recommend reservations it gets crowded pretty quickly. If you have a gluten intolerance this is the place for you I have ordered the pizza twice and it’s absolutely delicious! unfortunately I don’t have any photos to share.
My favorite local vegan cafe, I always get the blue breakfast smoothie! It’s nice to have healthy organic options.. not to mention gluten free muffins!! The staff is always nice as well :)
Delicious and affordable self-service burger joint. The milkshakes are very good, but they have too much cream for European palates. They have gluten-free buns for all the burgers, and they're juicy and don't fall apart.
Gabby was a wonderful server today for my first lunch at this restaurant. I had the gluten free Summer Rolls with the rice wrap without chicken. I didn't take photos but beautiful presentation of the meal. She was understanding towards my goals of eating healthier and made helpful suggestions. She was happy to assist with me getting more peanut sauce for my summer rolls. They were delicious and the veggies truly were fresh and tasted great. I took some home and ended up placing another order. It was a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I'm glad this place was close to where I had some fieldwork today and I would come here again.
I thought I had tasted the best pizzas in Brooklyn but I was wrong. We had dinner here and it was absolutely delicious. The crust is amazingly thin and crunchy, just how I like it. We ordered a slice of Cleopatra Jones and Giglio and a personal-size gluten-free pepperoni. I want to go back soon!
Really great celiac-friendly restaurant. They even have the option of gluten-free pita upon request that's quite delicious. My food accidentally came with a regular pita on it and they immediately noticed their mistake and went back and prepared a fresh, new plate.
Gluten Free Palace is my one stop go to store for everything gluten free. It's awesome getting all of my breads, pasta, bagels and desserts delivered to my door. The prices are great and the customer service cannot be matched!
The Jungle Cafe is one of those places that nourishes you on all levels. Tasty, clean, fresh, healthy food in a warm, natural and inviting environment. Great smoothies, juices, sandwiches, salads, main courses, vegan and gluten free deserts — even hot cacao! The buffet has a wide selection and features rotating cultural themes daily (Mexican, Indian, Polish, etc.). Do yourself and your community a favor by supporting this great local establishment!
PS — It’s also a great place to get some reading or work done, or meet up with friends.
I rarely leave reviews, but I felt I had to share my experience today 3-3:30PM.
I came to pick up a birthday cake I had ordered three weeks in advance for someone very special to me. I chose this bakery because of its great reputation for healthy, gluten-free cakes—and I was genuinely looking forward to trying it.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the service I received.
When I walked in, I greeted the staff warmly with a smile and a “hello.” The woman behind the counter asked for my pickup name, and I gave it—adding that it was for a cake I had pre-ordered.
She immediately cut me off and said, “I only asked for your name,” with a smirk, as if I had said something wrong. It felt unnecessarily rude, but I chose to stay polite and move on.
What really upset me was what happened next.
As she was handing me the cake, it suddenly tilted heavily to one side and nearly slipped out of the box. I had to catch it quickly with my own hands to keep it from toppling over completely.
Despite this, she didn’t apologize or check to see if the cake was okay. She simply said, “Don’t worry, it’s fine,” and handed it over as if nothing had happened.
Because of the tilt, the glitter decoration—which I had paid extra for—ended up smudged all over the clear part of the cake box.
Because I was leaving for the out of town right after, I didn’t have time to request a replacement—but I left the store feeling very upset and disappointed.
I also politely asked if they had a plastic knife I could use to cut the cake, and again, her response was dismissive and mocking. She laughed and said, “I’ve never heard of that,” as if it were a ridiculous question.
I completely understand if they don’t provide plastic knives—but there’s a respectful way to say that without belittling the customer or comparing other bakeries in a sarcastic tone.
And just to clarify, many bakeries do offer plastic knives for convenience—so it wasn’t an unreasonable question at all.
I don’t know what kind of day she was having or why she felt the need to treat a customer this way—but for someone picking up a cake for a special occasion, it left a really bitter impression.
This one interaction had the power to ruin what should’ve been a joyful and meaningful moment.
For a place with such a strong reputation, I hope the management considers the impact staff attitude can have on a customer’s experience.
No matter how good the product may be, the service still matters.
Great bbq with a casual low key vibe. Plan ahead! Currently orders are placed online and could be waits up to an hour! So be prepared!! Gluten free options! The brisket was incredible.
