Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu

Delicious churros! I've not had a churro since going gluten free and these were great. My partner who is not gluten free or vegan said he couldn't tell the difference. Also really good vanilla icecream!

Caroline Voegele

Sarah Crawford

Server was attentive and confident with confirming gluten free options for my celiac partner! We both got a Brekky roll (hers with a gluten free bun pictured). Food came quick and full of flavour, coffees were also perfection!

Kylie Van De Wyngaerde

Incredible wraps! So nice to not have to settle to have a bowl or salad

Jackie Shtemberg

Really good quick food options for something different. Lots of gluten free options. *im not celiac, just gluten free.

Jackson Miller

Really delicious food and great service! Great accommodation for gluten free and celiac too. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were super helpful and kind. The prawns and crab especially hit the spot.

Oli Mc

Wow! Such a lovely restaurant. Bar is beautiful, restaurant very cozy & comfortable. Fast service, very kind hostess. My family really enjoyed the meal. They accommodated a large group and fed me safe gluten free options even corrected one we originally ordered, to GF. Please do enjoy a delicious cocktail during your visit. I had the lychee cocktail, so delicious!

Amanda Mikelberg

Food was outstanding. Had lunch special gluten free pad Thai and was blown away. Service and atmosphere were also great

Garret Ohringer

Five stars because I’m a celiac boy, it feels good to eat ramen again 🥲

Juliette Lin

Delicious! I got the lychee duck curry — best meal ever!! A huge group of us went after pride and there was plenty of space for us! Highly recommend. All their curries are gluten free and they label clearly.

Adele Ash

Great pasta spot in Essex market. They have lots of vegan sauces, and gluten free options. We got the turkey bolognese and meatballs with very fresh salad, very happy with our meal

Raymond Blum

What a welcome change of pace. I went in, frankly desperate for something to eat before a class and wasn't expecting such a gem! The friendly person at the counter reassured me that they could make my sandwich gluten free, the coffee was great, the wrap was delicious and the airy, friendly atmosphere has put this on my regular spot list. I'm going there every week before that same class.

Anna Eflin

Great place for a quick bagel or sandwich. Had a gluten free wrap that was great and didn’t fall apart. 👍

Jai Berg

Excellent smash burger. Gluten free options: Burgers are grilled on a dedicated space, no buns or flour tortillas touch that surface. They have lettuce wraps. Be careful with the sauces, not all are gluten free but the server has an allergen key at the station.

Morgan Joyner

THEY DO NOT CATER TO GLUTEN FREE. They used to accommodate gluten free with the tasting menu and changed after the pandemic. Any Michelin star restaurant with a tasting menu should accommodate allergies such as gluten free. This is very disappointing.

Cassia Attard

Very delicious! The savory mini pancakes with mushrooms were a star. Really liked them and I think they’re gluten free (didn’t verify). The vegetable pho is great because it comes with tofu and there’s lots of bok choi, peas, and mushrooms. I love the fibre boost. And you can get it with any broth (I liked beef > chicken). It’s a great spot for gluten free friendly food. Good prices for pho. One appetizer and 2 mains came to $42 - very reasonable prices.

Malina Sofia Kozak

Such a cute café. The vibe is amazing, everyone‘s kind and caring. The food was amazing and affordable.The gluten-free options were amazing as well as the general food.

Emy Moore

Simple and super tasty Mexican food. most (or all) GF. sooo good!

Sofia Sanuni

gluten free pizza! not the beautiful place in the block but if you loof for food to go its ok!

Nathan Smithfield

Clinton St was a great find for some lunch. The potato pancakes were excellent for a gluten free option (the apple sauce was incredible) and the biscuit (scone) was fantastic. The staff are busy but super friendly. There was a 25 minute wait as we were walk-ins, you can book reservations ahead of time, just not on the day.

Andrew Heineman

I went with a large group on 10/21 and told our waiter I was allergic to gluten. The gentleman serving our table treated me like a VIP. He went over menu items with me, and really took care of me throughout the meal. The food was also really good and I can’t recommend this place enough.

Susan Belej (Sue B)

It doesn't get better than this. Really. Have been coming here for years. Newly expanded, lots of room. Service is top notch and friendly. If you speak German you'll have even more fun, becuase so does the staff. Great atmosphere and food without the Americanized beer hall kitsch, but with a worthy beer menu. But please don't come here if you don't like German food and then complain. Try the decadent homemade liverwurst (yes decadent and liverwurst in the same sentence) even if you think you don't like liverwurst. This isn't Oscar Meyer. Worth commenting on, I have to be gluten free and they were very accommodating. Maybe one day Cafe Katja will have a gluten free spaetzle...

Georgia G

Very cute place with fresh food. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I have celiacs and they put the pita separately for my sister so she could still enjoy. We shared fattouch salad croutons on the side and added chicken, it was excellent. Red pepper dip was our favorite. Hummus was so so. Quick and friendly service.

Samuel Jun

Tasty Filipino spot with cute intimate vibe. Came here once and definitely want to try more of the dishes. Reccs: - BBQ pork ribs skewers Many labeled gluten free options

Cassia A

Some of the best darn tacos I’ve ever had. The chicken mole and beef birria are both amazing. All tacos come with consume. The tacos are corn. The tacos are grilled to deliciousness. It’s not superrrr fast (was 10-15 mins for our order) but it’s fast enough. Just a window (no where to sit) but there are parks nearby to sit and eat. I got 2 tacos for $9. They have vegan options. Great gluten free option (all tacos are corn)

Jorge and team went out of their way to accommodate my gluten allergy and family. The entire dining experience was perfect. Thank you for the great experience.

This place is wonderfullllll - especially late night! ;) My partner and I landed in NY around midnight, and were able to pop in and get some delicious empanadas. A lot of flavorful options, and I'm gluten free which works perfectly with corn-based foods. Love the easy self-service kiosks where you can just order and wait for your food. Still, the workers are helpful if/when needed. There's a limited number of seats/tables, but honestly this place has a to-go vibe anyway!
