This is one place where I can go to get safe gluten-free pastries and was really disappointed with my last experience. My wife and I went into the shop on 6/28 which is my birthday for me to get a few birthday treats. We were at the bakery counter while the worker was checking out a male customer. The male customer left and two women entered. My wife and I had been waiting at the counter where all the pastries are to order and so the other two women stood on the right hand side of us, closer to the door. The worker with purple hair proceeded to completely disregarded my wife and I and smiled, spoke and attempting to help the two women who had came in after only for them to tell the worker we were they first which the worker already knew and they proceeds to say “oh yes they were” and then comes over to us. This was so off putting and I really appreciate those two women who spoke up. That encounter really shifted the vibe of my day and I will not be returning. Also, the quality of the cupcakes were so poor, they had hardened. There’s no way they were fresh. To the worker, do better. Don’t make people feel small in a place where they are expecting equality. Thank you.

Epik staff take allergies quite seriously. While they don’t have a dedicated space. They changed gloves and tried led up the paper on the work surface. They also changed out cooking equipment. There was an error on the milkshake and it was handled in such a respectful way. But the best part was the BUN on the burger. I got a juicy burger and the bun didn’t fall apart. Better news is they are opening a second location in the Nocatee area?

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.

Super helpful and knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and celiac cross contamination. Our family member with celiac showed no issues after having their "magic waffle." Almond flour was a concern as well and they let us know their GF flour is rice based and vegan. They said they are proud of their GF blend and we agree that they should be. To go above and beyond for service, they asked when we would consume the waffles to know how much to cool them down and keep them from getting soggy. Its hard to find places so accommodating and polite, this is a gem you dont want to miss if you are GF or just craving a good waffle.

Such a great find! They had amazing gluten free doughnuts, the matcha and chai were superb and the staff couldn't have been sweeter.

O what an incredible meal we had at Cooper's Hawk! I'd seen a few people mention it in a local fb group and decided to take hubby for his birthday. He often eats gf to keep me safe and we had so many options! They mentioned they just overhauled their gluten-free procedures not long ago and I felt very confident in all of our meal. Everything is made from scratch. Started with a warm gf roll and butter Appetizer: Bacon Wrapped Shrimp Hubby's Plate: Blue Cheese Burger w/ Fries My Plate: Cilantro Ranch Chicken Sandwich w/ Fries Dessert: Truffles (as a birthday gift from Cooper's Hawk) The bacon wrapped shrimp was probably my favorite part of the meal as the taste was one that just lingered. I mean fabulous. Just an incredible meal with great service and I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Also loved our server Christine.

Only pickup and delivery. Everything is gluten-free and dairy-free

Found a regular noodle in my gluten free noodles. Other than that, the food is spectacular.

Prices are a bit high but they had a gluten-free menu. My dad says crab cakes had way too much breading and he could not taste the crab at all.

I fell in love with both the neighborhood and the restaurant. Their food is so good, and I can order almost anything I like due to the gluten free friendly substitutions. Instead of breaded chickun they grilled my soy curls unbreaded, substituted their house patty that has gluten for a Beyond burger, and served me both on GF buns. I was ecstatic!!! A restaurant where I can enjoy Plant-Based Comfort Food, then enjoy the fantastic nearby shops (I’ll share in upcoming posts) is everything my heart desires. 🥰 FYI: I caution anyone with Celiac’s disease that cross contamination is possible, and the fryer/grill are shared. Gluten Free Fried Pickles: This was the #1 reason I wanted to eat here. Yes, their menu is amazing, but I wasn’t sure I could enjoy much even with a gluten free bun as an option. However, fried pickles have long been a favorite that I haven’t enjoyed in almost a decade, and this is the first restaurant I’ve seen that has them. They were so good, I would order them, even if they didn’t have anything else I could eat. But, thankfully, they do! I had these as a side for the Buffalo Ranch Chickun, specifically prepared to be gluten friendly, per my request. It was absolutely delicious, and I cannot wait to eat it again! I'm also looking forward to another Black Cherry Tarragon Stubborn Soda because it was delicious. Murray Hillbilly has a laid-back atmosphere with books to read and games to play while you wait for your food. There’s even a small assortment of items to buy including t-shirts, hand-crafted hats, and a variety of eco-friendly items. I had to try on the crochet hats. They were absolutely adorable, and for those who don’t know I used to not be able to wear hats because I had too much hair. 😆 I loved that each one was different not just in color but in style, and it was neat to see how they each looked on me. Perhaps next time I’ll leave with one.

This was my second time going to Coopers Hawk in Mandarin and it was even more amazing than the first. I was with my daughter, her husband, and 4 kids ages 7 to 15. Parking is a breeze, we were seated quickly, and greeted by our waitress, Leslie, right away. Leslie was perky and informative and unfriendly and attentive. She made sure to give the kids attention and even catered to my gluten free granddaughter. They have a great gluten free menu! All of the food came out hot and tasted amazing. My daughter and I got a flight of wine, which was amazing and a great price, and Leslie was great at helping us pick out what we liked! There was a minor mix up on my daughter’s plate which was very quickly and easily rectified! I would highly recommend going here. And you’ll be blessed to get Leslie to wait for you!

Shaun & Riya gave us a great first visit experience! I enjoyed tasting all of the flavors. There is something for everyone - so many unique flavors to choose from, including gluten free and dairy free options. The ice cream is so rich and creamy! The seating area is nice and we enjoyed the outdoor space. Great place!

Stopped in at almost midnight. The place was busy we’re sold out on a couple of different selections but what they did have was amazing. They have gluten-free and vegan cookies. The deluxe cookies all tasted wonderful had a selection of about a dozen different varieties.

First time trying Insomnia Cookies. I’ve heard this isn’t the best location, but I had them delivered. The cookies were still warm. Some of them were a little hard around the edges but all soft in the middle. We tried a variety including cookies n cream, confetti, red velvet, gluten free chocolate chip and M&M. I feel like these have less sugar than Crumbl, and are smaller, which I like. I’ll definitely be going to other locations and trying various flavors.

Great place and ambiance. Not noisy. You can have a conversation at your table. Food was good and not salty or too sweet. Really accommodate your needs (gluten free, steamed tofu, etc). Highly recommended.
