This is 100% Gluten-free and I loved it. So many options from the food to the drinks. For once I did not have to stress on what to get nor worry about cross contamination. I will be back!!
We are so glad we found Big Mike’s! We’re not even a gluten-free family, but the location was convenient—what a happy surprise! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. But the real standout? The exceptional service. Truly some of the best we’ve ever had. Friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Can’t wait to come back and try more!
It’s great that options for gluten free are being made but as someone who is Celiac and has had their fair share of Gluten Free items, you can find better tasting desserts in middle of no where places like Scranton, PA. I want to be as constructive as possible in this review because it really is great that there are dedicated GF bakeries for those that are intolerant or Celiac, but that’s the only reason why it’s two stars and not one.
PRICING
I ordered a red velvet and vanilla cupcake and before I could even enjoy my cupcake I was very alarmed when I saw each cupcake rang up as 4 dollars. Again, these are normal sized cupcakes and if anything they are a bit on the smaller size. I understand that this is a niche small business trying to stay afloat but you have to consider that eating gluten free does not mean I have money to waste. Because I have Celiacs, I have no other option but to eat GF but today I decided it would be nice to splurge a little on a cupcake. However, if you are the average person in Miami, you will not be able to justify the cost of a singular cupcake. I’m also going to add on to here that the machine asked automatically for 18%,20%, or 25% tip… for takeout.
TASTE
Vanilla tasted strongly artificial and not pleasant. Red velvet was bitter and mild in every other flavor and was not well balanced with the cream cheese. Texture was gritty on both, more so on the vanilla. Aftertaste is not pleasant and is a somewhat tarty/sour, acidic, and bitter taste.
CONCLUSION
Saying you’re gluten free is not an excuse to make a bad menu item. The recipes are not refined and feel like a first attempt at making a gluten free dessert. Especially at the price range, I do not recommend the average person come here as the food will be subpar for what you pay for. Overall, I am disappointed after having read so many excellent reviews. I will continue to search for better GF options in Miami but I will not come here again. Thanks for spending the time to read this.
Seriously this was the best gluten free stuff I have ever had. I’ve recently been diagnosed with celiac and have struggled to find a bread I enjoy. I came here for challah but left with sour dough bread, cookies, a bagel, cake and banana bread. The owner was so sweet and everyone who worked there was so nice. They have samples of everything. I went with my dad who is not gluten free and he loved it all!
As someone highly allergic to dairy it was exciting to hear that this vegan gluten free bakery opened in the area. Unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. For bakery items my family got cupcakes and donuts. The cupcakes were decent, not dense like a usual gluten free cupcake but there was no flavor to the cake. The vanilla one just tasted plain. The strawberry cheesecake donut had a great icing to it but the donut itself was dense and not like a donut at all. The frozen Katz donuts from the grocery store are better. Each pastry was $6 which seems overpriced for a barely mediocre dessert and they are not huge either. We took home the blueberry waffles($12 for a whole waffle which was cut up into 1/4 sections) , they are ok. The flavor tasted like a normal blueberry waffle and the texture was ok. Very average waffle. The mac and cheese ($16 for 2 servings) I got was very off putting. The cheese flavor was good, comparable to follow your heart brand but the noodles were awful, I made sure not to overheat it but somehow they came out very chewy. I want to give this place another go but am hesitant to due to the price point and a poor first impression.
I am celiac, dairy-free, and soy free. This was the first restaurant I felt comfortable eating in since the waiter and kitchen staff took all my dietary restrictions seriously and recommended certain foods that would abide to all of them. It is not easy to find an accommodating restaurant. I highly recommend this place for those who are very sensitive to strict dietary restrictions!! The food was prepared by a chef and the taste was phenomenal!!!
Met Stephanie her self she is absolutely an amazing person. When I tell you how excited I was to be able to have crepes after not able to have one in Epcot I screamed and boy was I excited to savor a savory crepe. My family and I are all celiac and so we got the salmon avocado crepe (amazing 10/10) and the strawberry banana Nutella once again amazing 10/10) highly recommend if in Miami area so amazing and have a whole gluten free menu 💖

Delicious ice cream and snacks with the peace of mind of being gluten-free. They have a variety of different flavors. Plus, the service is great. Recommended!
It's a really amazing experience. So many options for all people in my party. Not one person had a bad thing to say. Took a container of the jam to go because it was so good.
Amazing!!! Many gluten free options that tasted like normal desserts and priced fair. Their gf key lime pie is the best I’ve ever had (even better than non gf)! My husband had the normal key lime pie and also said it was the best he’s ever had. We each had a cheesecake slice as well. Additionally, the shop was absolutely adorable. If you’re visiting the keys, you must stop here for ice cream, a baked treat or a cute gift or keepsake!
Came in with my husband for his birthday to treat him. The owner is so kind and knowledgeable about everything gluten free. The desserts were absolutely amazing and you genuinely couldn’t even tell they were gluten. Made my husband’s (who is a huge sweet tooth) whole day as we are from a small town with no gluten free options and are both celiac. Super grateful for this bakery and we will definitely be returning.
Everything we ordered was amazing, the food there always leaves us feeling full but energetic. It’s great being able to have a nice meal without feeling tired or bloated after. Ron provides amazing service and gives the best recommendations.
We started with the mussels, they were delicious and the sauce was so good we had to order more of their gluten free bread to soak it up. Their bread tastes delicious and literally melts in your mouth.
The spicy watermelon margarita was one of the best alcoholic beverages I’ve ever had, I had planned on doing the wine pairing but the margarita was so good I ended up ordering another instead.
Then I tried the French onion soup, it was so fresh and delicious with a great heap of goat cheddar on top.
For my main course I had lasagna at Ron’s recommendation. It was phenomenal, it was hard to believe it was gluten free. I did steal a few bites of my fiancée’s carbonara with filet added and it was also delicious.
We ended the night with the orange cake, it was the perfect end to the night, so much flavor!
The food was absolutely delicious! We were thrilled with their great selection of gluten-free options, which allowed us to enjoy a wonderful meal without worrying about our gluten allergy.
Wonderful food and warm service from
The owner onsite who is celiac herself.
How refreshing is it to be welcomed into a restaurant with my gluten allergy instead of tolerating me. They get it and are careful.
The lasagna was amazing the other night in fact it was gone so fast I didn’t know what happened to it 😀
YOU WIN!! Congratulations, you found the best gf baker in south Florida. She also needs help in the kitchen, if you know anyone looking for a job baking , contact her, she nailed it. Learn from her, support her, eat her delicious breads, be happy . Let’s her her business to fly, and franchise
Ripe is our favorite restaurant! The food is always prepared fresh and you can tell they put all the care into sourcing fresh ingredients and preparing everything from scratch--a true "slow food" philosophy and experience (look it up, it's a whole movement countering fast food and hyper processed junk). You feel like you are eating real food, prepared lovingly and with the utmost care. And that is to say nothing of the service! Everyone at ripe is kind, attentive, and always seeking to make every patron's experience the best! Emilio, chef and owner, is always present, tending to every detail of the operation, and interacting with guests! That is to say nothing of their accommodations for allergies! Did I mention Ripe is 100% gluten free?? For customers with a gluten intolerance, you can eat and rest assured that everything you consume will be fresh, healthy, and wholesome. If I could give Ripe ten stars, I would! Highly recommend!
Best gluten free restaurant for celiacs. Huge gluten free menu. They have a separate kitchen for gluten free so no cross contamination. Staff is very knowledgeable and always asks if you have an allergy.
Absolutely amazing. The food is great, the workers are amazing, the place is great. I absolutely would recommend coming in whether you can’t have gluten or just want a tasty treat!
Believe. The. Hype.
Pastry Power has officially blown my gluten-free mind. I just demolished one of their cinnamon rolls and, THANKFULLY, had the foresight (and a healthy fear of regret) to order two. This place is an absolute must-order for any GF Disney traveler.
They deliver straight to your hotel. The owner is super responsive, friendly, and her customer service is top-notch. My tip? Order well in advance and schedule delivery for day 1 or 2 of your trip—because once you taste it, you’ll wish you had it your whole stay.
For those of you who live in Orlando, you are BLESSED.
It was a treat for my little one to walk into a place and pick what ever he wanted. He usually has to settle for dairy& gluten free option, if they have one. Thank you!!!
Awesome food. Been here two days in a row and it’s really a great place. Today I had a smoothie and avocado toast on gluten free bread - tastes amazing! Staff super friendly as well! Thank you!
Mike Magnuson is amazing!! He made sure my gluten free needs were addressed while making sure I didn’t feel left out or different! He was super attentive and helpful, he even helped update the membership information! Definitely someone I would request in the future! He took the experience to another level! Thank you so much Mike!!
Best Italian ice ever. Good variety and flavors are to die for. First Gluten-free place where everything tastes amazing and the prices are very reasonable. The place is super clean and the owner is friendly and takes his time to explain all the products. Highly recommended.
I went with my mom and sister who can't eat gluten. They are the best crepes 👌🏻🫶🏻 light and full of fresh and exquisite flavor. Made to order by Caro who treated us very kindly and even gave us recommendations. I loved the protein shake 😍 thick, concentrated flavor. Absolutely everything was spectacular. My mom had already gone and she loved it so much that she wanted to take me 😊 I recommend it to spend a pleasant hour full of delicious food and friendly people
Gluten free churros served with vanilla cream and Mexican chocolate dips. Fresh, warm, soft, very tasty. You can order to go or sit in lounge (virtual queue option). Also got a decaf mocha latte with soy milk.
Lovely place, you can eat outside and more importantly for me you can eat glutenfree. I am celiac and I had no problems what so ever. Thank you! Very much appreciated.
I'm not a big chain restaurant fan, however, True Food kitchen is an exception. It really is whole food. I appreciate that there are several vegan and gluten-free options. The butternut squash soup and the hot tulsi ginger and tea are somethings I always look forward to.
The menu mentions asking about gluten-free options, so I asked what was gluten-free. The answer, “everything”. They have gluten-free toast, French toast, and waffles! They also have sugar-free syrup! Having a wheat allergy and being diabetic usually means I have to be very selective. I was amazed at how accommodating this restaurant is. The food was amazing and Phillip was an excellent server!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Cupcake heaven with a serious espresso game!”
Omg — I’m obsessed! Their espresso is incredible — seriously, way smoother and richer than Starbucks. You can tell they use a higher-quality grind. The brownie was next-level, super fudgy and flavorful.
What really stood out to me is how inclusive they are — they offer vegan and gluten-free options that actually taste amazing. And don’t even get me started on the cupcake selection.
99% of the menu is gluten free and all their tacos are made on corn tortillas, and they have a dedicated fryer! The Mahi tacos were delicious and I had a margarita as well!
