we ordered coffee, bagels and cinnamon buns. The coffee was lukewarm. we asked the worker if it was possible to warm it up a little bit, and he gave us the dirtiest look and attitude ever. He did offer to remake it but made it sound like it was like a huge inconvenience (I refused). The bagels were average at best. the cinnamon buns were very dense. Overall a bad experience.
Really enjoyed the bandeja paisa here! As a celiac it’s nice to have the gluten free guarantee even for foods I know don’t typically have gluten. Service is great and friendly. Feels like to hear Colombian Spanish, made me feel right at home.

I love this place so much, hard to not go in and leave with half the store.
I cater from here a lot and it’s always a hit for events and business lunches.
I keep the hot sauce in my fridge to put on everything.
The chicken, veg options, grains and deserts are my favorite - especially the chocolate chip cookies and gluten free brownies.
Start to finish great experience. Walked in on a Saturday night and Danny took great care of us and each course was on point. Eggplant parm perfectly cooked, pasta (gluten free - they’ve got a lot of those options) and branzino made perfectly. Great decor and vibe too. We’ll be back!
We had a lovely family gathering for brunch! Our server Justin was very helpful in making sure everyone had what they needed, especially one guest with a gluten allergy. Delicious food - look forward to our next visit!
The vibe here is very cozy and friendly. Loved the two gluten free pasta options (regular gluten free and a spiraled butternut squash). The gluten free and vegan items on the menu are clearly labeled and the staff could answer any questions. Pasta experiments seems really fun but I forgot to ask if you could do it gluten free. Would definitely return here if in the area!
The food at vegan grill was amazing and very filling! I made my own bowl and the portion was huge, which I was not expecting. The menu is extensive and even has some gluten free, nut free and soy free options. The staff was also very nice and answered all my questions about ingredients since I like to stay clear of gluten and soy as well. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a quick, dine-in, plant based experience on the UES!
Favorite vegetable korma (or they call it navratan) and saag paneer! Vegetarian and gluten free! Ask for papadam! Great raita too! Outdoor seating with a heater for covid safe!
Amazing hospitality and a memorable dining experience. The staff was so attentive and friendly. The food was also incredible, specifically their zucchini noodles with Pomodoro sauce. I have celiac disease, and Rocco personally ensured my food was prepared safely. L 'Incontro by Rocco is one of my new favorite restaurants on the UES. I will definitely be returning for my next special occasion!
Awesome spot for late night pizza. They have gluten free pizza and seem to take cross contamination seriously. If you get a gluten free pizza they even give you a little disposable pizza cutter to avoid cross contamination from their pizza cutters. First time I’ve ever seen that and it was such a nice touch. Made me feel so much safer about eating there. Pizza is delicious too.
Yummy food, and Gluten-free buns! Best service consistently! These folks genuinely care about their customers, which is hard to find sometimes in the restaurant business!
Small, cozy (some might say small) dining area. Staff is wonderful, barely realize they are around. Food is outrageously good AND reasonable . Had strachitelli followed by lemon sole with crusted parmesian coating covered w/tomatoes. Wife had gluten free pasta with garlic under grilled chicken. Looked great and must have been, there was nothing left. The desserts are even better. Half block from the 2nd ave Q line 86 st stop, east to get to.
The coffee shop is so cute and the service is very friendly, the coffee is always on point too. The main issue is the prices. I am fine with the markup on the coffee because they're using beans from farms in Puerto Rico and are paying the farmers are fair wage BUT at the same time the cost of the baked goods are outrageous. I ordered a caramel latte and a pre-packaged gluten free pumpkin bread cake which came up to $16! I would not suggest coming here often unless you have a lot of disposable income. It's such a shame how the cycle of poverty works, we need to support our own but when we have limited resources ourselves it becomes difficult. They are worth a visit every now and again if you're local though.
Had a great experience at this location. I had the gluten-free bread avocado toast with smoked salmon and it was delicious. The staff were very nice and friendly. Overall great experience definitely will go back.
Food is delicious, atmosphere is chill and nice, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about food allergies. They have gluten free pita bread and little gluten free desserts :)
