Was looking for somewhere to eat between going to Smithsonian’s. We needed somewhere with gluten free options and the gluten free crust was very good! (I can’t speak to if it’s celiac friendly) limited seating but we were looking for a quick stop, so this was exactly what we needed.
Was in DC for a couple of days and stopped by here for brunch on my last day. The place is located in CityCenterDC which is a cute stretch of restaurants and high end shops.
The place is small with some outside seating. You order your food and then grab a seat if dining in and they bring your food to you.
I ordered the large sweet berry waffle, which is essentially a regular sized waffle instead of a half waffle which you can also order. I also had the Nobility juice.
The juice ended up being more expensive than I thought. There is a charge for the juice and then an up charge for the size. It ended up costing me $12.95 ($9.95 + $3.00 for a medium size). The waffle was $15.95. I think that is too expensive for a drink.
It’s not easy to find gluten free vegan waffles and pancakes so whenever I run across them I order them. The waffle was tasty and the strawberries and blueberries were fresh. The Nobility juice was good. It definitely had a green taste to it as I suspected. I’m not a big fan of green juice, but felt I could use less sweetness since I was eating a waffle with fruit.
I would eat here again, but try a different juice and at a smaller size.
Great option if you are gluten free! The food is fantastic and the employees are knowledgeable. It’s not really a sit down restaurant, you order at the counter and bus your own place, but it’s real food, sourced from local fishermen.
The chocolate torte is so incredibly delicious! A must-order!
I am gluten free and they are very accommodating. The chocolate torte is gluten free, in addition to many of the pastas. We ordered the gluten free sausage and broccoli pasta, which was very good. The sausage is not spicy (which I like).

I absolutely love this place! We were in DC on vacation for a week and I ate here almost every night. I always got gluten free pizzas here and they are delicious and the gluten-free crusts are easier to chew than other places I've tried and are a good flavor; you wouldn't know it was gluten free unless someone told you. They are extremely friendly and that also made me want to come back! When I come back to DC, I'll be back!! 🥰 Thanks for the pizza!
Maybe it was the time of day, maybe my bar is lower because I am gluten free…but I loved it! I went around 2 on a weekday and was impressed by the ambiance, service, quality of beverage options and best of all…gluten free chicken and waffles?!!! Never have I ever. Unnecessarily pricey AF…but imo so is everything in DC, regardless of quality/quantify…so 🤷🏻♀️
I would usually rate this restaurant higher. I have been to a different location before and had good service as well as they have gluten free options. This time after moving apartments I did a pick up order. I was excited for the lamb burger with the gluten free bread. My boyfriend got a burger and roommate got a Cuban panini. I would say the food was okay a 3.5 but my issue is how my boyfriend was treated when getting into the restaurant.
I sent my boyfriend in because I was driving. Told him to pick up the order with my name on it. He texts me asking for confirmation. That’s okay because a guy is picking up a girls order. He comes to the car and says the guy “looked him up and down and told he needs to show proof”.
I understand the asking for proof but it’s the tone. It’s the way you ask for things, the attitude you have. My boyfriend is North African/Arabic and it’s GIVING RACIAL PROFILING.
So imagine being emotionally exhausted from moving in the DC humidity and heat and then someone makes you feel like that at the end of your day. All to have a sub par burger.
Great food, all gluten free (I have celiac disease, and this takes away all stress over cross contamination), and casual.
It is an easy place to stop at and get a good meal that doesn’t weigh you down but satisfies you at the same time.
The Rice Bar is a fun and delicious place to stop and get a quick meal! When you walk in, there is a wall where you can write an order for a custom rice or ramen bowl. They also have gluten free options, so there is a choice for everyone. You can see your bowl get prepared right in front of you and everything tastes so fresh. There is a wide range of toppings and sauces. Delicious!!!

MJ welcomed us so warmly & our sunlit table became a family moment we will treasure. The food is exquisitely prepared & served … egg white frittata in the iron pot, gluten-free options as well. Delish drinks! Boys loved their chicken & waffles … and MJ’s instincts on making special moments is unmatched. A new favorite!
If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.)
This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast.
It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather.
The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.
Filomena is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in DC. Everything about it is delightful - the food, the service, the ambiance. Decorations are always changing for the season and so fun. The burrata appetizer is seriously one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, and they have delicious gluten free pasta. Love, love, love!!
&pizza - Hotel Hive is an excellent stop for lovers of personalized pizza 🍕✨ This place allows you to choose your own toppings and assemble your pizza on the spot, exactly how you want it, which makes each visit unique and special. 👌🥗🍄
A great advantage is that they offer gluten-free dough, ideal for those looking for more inclusive options 🌱👏. I tried a custom combination and it was delicious, with fresh and well prepared ingredients. The pizza cooks quickly, which is also perfect for those who don't want to wait long.
The atmosphere of the place is modern and relaxed, ideal for a quick bite to eat or enjoying a casual meal with friends 🏙️✨ The prices are affordable for the quality and customization they offer, making it an excellent option in DC.
&pizza - Hotel Hive combines flavor, inclusive options and an interactive experience that makes it stand out, as in all its branches. Highly recommended! 🍕🙌
Obsessed with this place. Was in Dulles for two weeks and managed to get down to DC twice and went to District both times. I had their breakfast tacos the first time and their regular tacos and chips/guac the second time. You order on kiosks which is fun and easy and get to choose between like 25 different topping options. Their corn tortilla tacos come double wrapped and all bundled up together so they taste authentic and delicious. I got pretty much all the toppings. Their medium salsa is to die for. They have impossible chorizo and an option to select Gluten Free which was amazing. The guacamole was flavorful with a nice hint of lime. I love a good taco but these tacos were life changing🤌🏼

The food here is phenomenal. Our server was so knowledgeable and provided excellent service. They had several gluten free options. Highly recommend this place!
Great atmosphere and amazing service! Cool place to sit down and get some homework done. I was lucky enough to find a seat right away, but it was crowded- the place seems very popular!
I got an iced oat milk latte with lavender and it was very good! I also got a gluten-free chocolate muffin, but it was honestly pretty dry, so I wouldn't recommend it.

We really enjoyed our first visit and have already recommended the bakery to others. Staff was friendly and efficient.
The vegan hot chocolate on a stick was really fun and quite delicious. The vegan gluten free baked items we got were really tasty. The bagel I had was yummy, but quite small. Perfect for what I wanted, which was a snack, rather than a breakfast.
It's a very small space. Few chairs to sit in with some space that could have been used for seating instead used for holding to go bags, etc.
I am looking forward to going back and trying some of their vegan sandwiches.
Actually don’t eat here it’s horrible. The gluten free pizza was salty cardboard. And the manager was rude but the servers were really nice thank you Bryan.

Tried two cupcakes from here, sadly among the worst I've ever had. The cake itself wasn't terrible, bland and flavorless with the gluten free option being fairly tough/dense (understandable). The frosting, though, was where is really tanked. I was super excited to try the whipped cream cheese frosting, however it tasted and felt like whipped lard - light while being bland, melty, and oily. Without the few flavored sprinkles on top there would have been no way of even determining the original intended flavors of the cupcakes. So disappointed, although maybe since it was the end of the night only their absolute worst cupcakes were left. Flavors and textures aside, the ratio of frosting-to-cake was spot-on.
**Satisfying Experience at The Capital Burger 🍔🍟**
Dining at The Capital Burger was an absolutely delightful experience that I am eager to recount. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, perfectly setting the stage for a wonderful meal. 🌟
Our party indulged in a variety of selections from their tempting menu, beginning with the delectable bacon cheeseburgers. Each burger was crafted with precision, featuring juicy patties complemented by the rich, smoky flavor of bacon and perfectly melted cheese. The Capital Burger, a signature dish, did not disappoint either; it stood out with its harmonious blend of flavors and tender texture. 🍔
For those in our group with dietary preferences, the bacon cheeseburger with a gluten-free bun was a notable highlight. The bun held up beautifully, maintaining the integrity and taste of the classic burger experience. It’s heartening to see such considerate options available, ensuring everyone has a satisfying meal.
For our little one, the children’s grilled cheese meal was a hit. Simple yet delicious, it was a comforting choice that appealed to their taste perfectly. 🧀
What truly enhanced our dining adventure was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive and kind, ensuring our experience was seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. 🙌
In conclusion, The Capital Burger offers not just fantastic food but an overall exceptional dining experience. It’s a place I look forward to visiting again soon, and I highly recommend it to others seeking both taste and quality. 🍽️
Vibes are great, food is pretty good, good vegetarian and gluten free options. But service is very slow and makes a fair number of minor mistakes. It’s like being in a Paris cafe, both good and bad.
The food is quite good. I really enjoy the oysters Rockefeller as it is one of the first I have seen that is gluten free and tastes good. Typically I order the steak frites which is always good. The other times when I have ordered things such as the chicken sandwich and schnitzel, I have not always been pleased. I believe the chicken sandwich is juicy, but a tad bland. For the schnitzel, it is definitely not traditional. I saw the idea of what was being put out, but it did not fully resonate with my palate. Nonetheless, I hope to be back soon for a couple drinks and oysters.

Daniel A. Was a great server, he knew what was gluten free, which helped my partner and I. Would recommend him to anyone there. He asked if we were there for an occasion and hooked us up. Excellent job.
I went to a wedding recently catered by Timber Pizza and they were so great! I have a gluten and dairy allergy and they made me a special pizza on the spot. They took extra precautions for cross contamination and made me feel so comfortable. 10/10 would recommend!
Fantastic food and people!! Busy night and the food quality is beyond amazing. They have lots of gluten free options and even served gluten free bread with butter upon request. The service was a bit chaotic because of it being so busy and possibly under staffed. We ended up waiting a long time after the meal to pay our bill and the bill had an error on it, so be sure to check it! That being said, the wait staff were very kind and helpful! Will definitely be back :)
Service was excellent - I have Celiac and the waiter knew the difference between being gluten free and celiac immediately noted that the fried items are cross contaminated. Very knowledgeable about the wine list. Excellent Indian food! Some of the moistest boneless chicken tandoori I’ve had! Will come back!
The interior could use a little updating - but the food was delicious. Got the bang bang gluten free pizza, pepperoni gluten free and a plain cheese pizza (non gluten free). All was delicious and the employees were friendly.
Best Ethiopian in town. I'm frequently the only white person in there which is an indication to me of quality. Excellent vegan and gluten-free options. Very reasonably priced. They actually give you the full size when you order takeout as well, which is great.
Loved FFB. Great menu choices to offer veggies, gluten free, vegan, carnivores all yummy options. We had 8 folks, 8 cocktails, 8 entrees, 5 apps and 2 desserts. Everything was so good. Big place and a bit noisy. Not great for intimate dining. We had a great time.
Our party of 4 had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. 2 of us are celiac or gluten intolerant, they have a whole gluten free menu and we were very satisfied with the food and the wonderful service.
Had a really great time here! We loved that everything was vegan(by default vegetarian) and tasty! I got the tofu and wild mushroom bowl as a delicious gluten free entree. The group I was with also split the potato skins(also gluten free) that were amazing! My partner is not gluten free, but got the gluten free pasta with the bolognese with meatballs and a side salad. The meatballs are not gluten free but the consensus at the table was that they were yummy!
Enjoyed the outside balcony ambiance and of course had to hit the dessert menu after our meal. Had the macarons since they were all gluten free and the berry cheesecake that was phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back!
The reason I think this is an amazing restaurant, is because me my brother and sister and I all got kid’s menus, and all kids meals come with a ice cream ,but we only ordered two kids meals but since we have three kids they gave us three ice-creams. Also my sister is slightly allergic to gluten so when they gave us normal noodles 🍜 and my mom said that she really need gluten free, they still gave us gluten free noodles for free,and overall the decorations, staff, and food were just amazing.-Cyrus age 10
The "chefs street falafel" and gluten-free pita w roasted veg was delicious, perfect portion size, and made fresh on the spot. With a Mexican Coke =$ 38.
Service from Ornela was fast and professional. Thank you, May, for considering switching gloves to make the gluten-free meal.
Sorry, no pics... we were starved!

Great for gluten free vegans!!!! menu is well-marked and there are multiple items for folks living (eating) at the intersection of GF& vegan. however, DO NOT order the “smoothie bowl” i immediately wanted to send it back (but i would never cuz that’s crazy, ab as crazy as this review). the smoothie bowl is liquidy-soupy like a drinking a drink with a spoon and it comes in a mug. coupe, yall need to rethink that one or remove it. i rlly regretted ordering it and i usually LOVE smoothie bowls.

I enjoy the Royal for relatively celiac safe gluten free brunch. I haven’t tried their evening food options, but they do have lovely cocktails. It is a QR code type place, so fellow celiacs should ask for the gf menu before ordering and mark their dishes with gluten allergy/celiac. I’ve approached the counter before with questions and staff were chill and helpful. Good brunch spot, good first date spot on quiet evenings. The food and drinks are consistently tasty. I usually get one of the arepas for brunch. They usually seem to use Oatly, though I ask each time I order a coffee drink that has milk.
Note, it is quite loud inside at busy times (and occasionally loud outside from sirens passing by). Recommend reservations for busy times.
Tatte Bakery & Café has earned its reputation as a beloved breakfast spot in Washington, D.C., but potential visitors should brace themselves for frequent crowds. Patience is essential if you decide to dine here. The food is quite impressive, with standout options like their hearty scrambles and warm oatmeal. Even the gluten-free offerings are commendable, although the gluten-free bread could benefit from a bit more filling to enhance the overall flavor and satisfaction.
On my recent visit, the service left something to be desired; our delicious food arrived much sooner than our drinks, which seemed to take an unusually long time. Despite the wait, the drinks proved to be a highlight, perfectly crafted and refreshing.
The café's atmosphere is bustling, filled with the lively chatter of patrons, which can be somewhat hindered during busy periods. On my visit, the incessant sound of a fire alarm added to the noise, creating a challenging dining experience. Finding a table can also be a struggle due to the popularity of this location, leading me to recommend opting for takeout instead of trying to secure a seat.
Overall, Tatte Bakery & Café offers a delightful breakfast experience, albeit at a slightly higher price point than some other local options. It’s a spot worth visiting if you don’t mind the hustle and bustle and are craving a satisfying meal to start your day.
If you have celiac or a gluten allergy, please do not go here. I would say I've requested a gluten free bun 8 times at this location, and every time it has been a normal one. I've been to other locations where they do pay attention and accommodate gluten free buns on the burgers. You pay extra for a "gf bun" while you are being ripped off-- even when if you specifically mark that you have a gluten and wheat allergy/sensitivity. To whoever manages the store, please stop offering gluten free buns if you are continually making people sick.
The GreenBee Café is my favorite cafe in Washington to enjoy local seasonal cooking. Their dishes are a burst of flavor with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I love their classic cobb salad and blackened catfish sandwich– fresh, and satisfying. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a lunch date or solo meal. They cater well to my dietary needs, which is a big plus for me. You can enjoy their all-day breakfast, sandwiches, wraps, and pasta. Evergreen Eats Cafe proves that healthy eating can be a delight for the taste buds. It's my go-to place for guilt-free indulgence.
