2025-03-01 Super cute bakery, also has some premade soups and entrees to take to go. Everything looked super tasty and had a gluten free section.

They were very careful about cross contamination with the gluten free request. They knew the details of their ingredients and the level of consciousness about gluten is virtually unmatched in the region.

The service was great. Even during a busy lunch we were seated promptly and the servers were timely in bringing our drinks and taking our order. The food was fresh and good. It was nice to see a decent selection of Gluten free options as well.

We are so in love with this place! Came here on a Sunday morning as the sun was streaming through the top windows. The feel is so amazing. We are dairy and gluten free, and although they do not have gluten free bread to sub in, we were able to compose an amazing plate of potato fritter, with arugula, roasted mushroom, tomatoes, avocado, and a poached egg. Magnificent! Our conventional food family members also enjoyed steak and eggs, biscuits and gravy, and eggs Benny. A perfect ending to our Mankato weekend. Thank you to all of the staff at Nolabelle!

They had the perfect menu to accommodate my gluten free and dairy free diet! It was easy to order something I could eat because the Vegan and GF options were clearly marked. Both the bowl and the salad I had were delicious

Madi was an amazing server!! Super prompt and respectful. Amazing experience. I have celiac disease and she was so understanding of my allergy. She made sure the cooks could make my food gluten free and made me feel very comfortable with my situation. Ps. GET THE BRUSSELS!!!!! The best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. Would definitely come again!!!!!

Great food, great service, Al around just the best place to eat!! When I order food here they make sure it is done perfectly, as I have celiac disease and they are on top of making sure my food is also safe to eat for me!

Scott Rademacker

Great vegan and gluten free options. Jake's Pizza is a Mankato classic!

Necia Kushman

Great food, great service and they have gluten free options!!

Rachel Scott Harrington

Amazing food! My husband and I are not vegetarians, but we love us a good vegetarian meal! (And trust me, those are hard to come by 🙌) ..India Palace is where to go for such a variety of food and flavor! I have also tasted their non vegetarian meals and have also tasted their vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free meals and let me tell you this place is no joke! Flavor upon flavor for every kind of person weather it is vegan, vegetarian or gluten free (or all 3). So many options and flavors for a variety of customers! 😊 this will be forever our new favorite spot to go to!

The wings are phenomenal and very well priced, you can easily come just for the wings, they have great flavor choices. I’ve gotten the Elvis burger with a gluten free bun and it is amazing, such a treat, I highly recommend it to anyone wether you like peanut butter on your burger or not. The garlic aioli is superb. I do not recommend the coleslaw, maybe it was a fluke I usually love coleslaw but I will not order it again, but there are many options to choose from can’t wait to go back and try some of their other stuff!

Cassie DeVries

The poke bowls can easily be made gluten free, and very little cross contamination!

Kimberly Cronen

Loved it! Yummy! And 100% gluten-free! Two things that would make it better: - offer samples of the base flavors since the kids didn’t end up liking all the flavors they chose - huge missed opportunity to not have color-changing spoons that turn a cool color when they get cold

Samantha OBannon

They're always so on it with being careful about how they handle my food with having celiacs disease. I appreciate the workers at this location! I haven't gotten sick here, but I have at another location

Jared Johnson

Lunch was fantastic! My wife has a Gluten and Dairy allergy and the server made sure to check ingredients and alert kitchen staff. Awesome service and great food. We will be back soon.

I have a gluten allergy and yesterday I decided to get dinner at Pub 500. I called the restaurant ahead of time to confirm gluten-free options and procedures. The person I talked to was very polite and answered all my questions. When I got there, I talked to the server about my restrictions for cross-contamination and she was extremely nice and asked the kitchen directly about the specific things I asked her about. Fryers are a big cross-contamination point, so I stressed I could not have anything from the fryers and she assured me the side I picked, chips, would be safe. My order came out, and the food was delicious, but after eating a few chips, I started to realize they tasted hot and oily. When I asked to confirm they were not from the fryer they sent someone else to tell me, it was indeed a fried item. When I tried to express the cross-contamination importance I was met with a response about the type of oil they used which had nothing to do with it. My entire plate was contaminated, so I asked them to remake it with a different side. The rest of the meal was great, but I was disappointed to see nothing was comped on the bill, and I even had an up-charge for the replacement side I got. I completely understand that people make mistakes and things happen, but when you work in the food industry it's important to be aware of common food allergies as well as the food you're serving. I would've liked to see more accountability from the people who I explained my situation to especially because I had said specifically what my restrictions were.

Had a great experience ordering a gluten free pizza. My order was ready super quick and Siena made stopping into Toppers a great experience! Would definitely recommend!!

I rarely eat out. I am gluten-free so it’s a special treat when I take the risk to do so. I had a long day and hadn’t eaten supper so stopped around 8 PM to get a burger and a shake on the way home.. The shake came out like a soupy mess with chunks of vanilla custard in it. The reason I love culvers is that thick Velvety custard. The store was busy and the traffic was difficult because of construction while they redo the drive-through. I chose not to go back and have it corrected due to time and burger would be cold by then.. I dumped the shake out, which wasn’t even full to start with, After making a video. I talked to the manager the next time I was in the area and he replaced it promptly with an apology and he himself made it!! Everybody makes mistakes but the fact that they are willing to correct it makes me a very happy customer, Despite the initial disappointment. Gave 4 ⭐️ for atmosphere just because of construction, but I know it’s not avoidable. 5 ⭐️ over all. Good job 👏

Daniel Morales

Gluten free pancake option a plus.

Brandon Green

Ordered to go. Gluten free option was nice but cost me more for the sub and they did not offer a gluten free cookie with my child's meal deal. They gave me the option to spend even more (on top of the gluten free up charge for the deal) to get their gluten free cookie. I think the gluten free option should come with everything gluten free.

I’m so sad. I ordered a quarter pounder with cheese and bacon meal. I got this after work and I was starving. I ordered on the app and got my food pretty quick which was nice because it was busy and around 11:30 pm. I checked my food bag and everything looked great. I’m celiac and I personally won’t go into anaphylactic shock from having something with gluten or cross contamination so I still go to McDonald’s. I ordered a meal that had a very specific quarter pounder with cheese and bacon, plain with cheese, extra lettuce, and no bun. I understand that it was late at night and my order was annoying (I used to work at Mcdonald’s but not this location) but DUDE. I checked my order before leaving and I read the order slip on my special quarter pounder with cheese box. Everything on the slip was correct so I assumed that the burger would be correct. I had my fries and they were fresh and REALLY GOOD. I then went home and opened my quarter pounder with cheese box. I had gotten a burger that had the correct patty, pickles, extra lettuce, a filet o fish bun, ketchup, no cheese, and no bacon. I think that they just gave me the wrong order so yikes oopsie but it did have to correct order slip on the burger box. I will go back to this location because accidents happen and stuff gets hard when it’s late but I will fully check my order before leaving.

Great gluten free pizza, salad was nice and cold and chicken was flavorful.

Food is great and I have many choices about how it is made. Their gluten-free crust bakes up well and they have always given the extra effort of using a designated pan and changing their gloves before working with my food. Feels a bit odd to rate atmosphere of a place I am only in to wait for my food to be prepared, but employees get along well and like their jobs. This definitely makes for a good atmosphere

ZERO STARS. I have celiac disease, and the man up front assured me that any sushi roll could be made gluten free. He assured me three different times throughout the process that what I ordered was gluten free, and that he even supposedly checked with the chef, and he said it was gluten free. My receipt even stated that the order was supposed to be gluten free. Trusting this, I got home with my food and started to eat my roll before noticing crunchy stuff on the inside. I called the store to confirm that this was a safe crunchy product, perhaps made with rice flour? The woman told me no, the crunchy stuff was definitely made with gluten, and on top of that, the spicy salmon in my roll also had gluten in it. This food was in NO WAY safe for me to consume. It's absolutely ridiculous for them to try to claim the food is gluten free when most of the employees don't even know what that means. Celiac disease is a very serious medical condition. I have been sick for the past week, and studies show that it can take 3-6 months for the intestines to fully heal from a single exposure like this. You are seriously harming people by conducting business this way. I'd also like to point out that beyond the allergen safety, this place was pretty gross. It seems like they try to hide the grime with dim lighting, but you can still tell. I didn't venture further than the front entry/counter, but my shoes were sticking to the floor with every step. This place is filthy and needs a serious health inspection.

Gluten-free options are limited and just ok. I wish they had more gluten-free sauces. Service & Ambiance are excellent.

Absolutely horrible. Advertise gluten free but do nothing to make sure that it's good. Staff was completely rude and lazy

Matthew Kaproth

Great BBQ pit - open Wednesday and Fridays for now. Tastes amazing - smoked low and slow! Meat and sauces are gluten free too!
