I was not expecting anything special by walking in the door, but I was especially surprised by the quality of the food,the excellent attentive staff, and the bonus is I could find anything I wanted on the menu for a gluten-free diet. Thank you for your first class food and hospitality.
This was the most delightful place I experienced during my trip. I stopped in 3 times while I was there. I'm allergic to wheat and this place is 100% gluten free!!! I stopped eating meat and the menu is vegan as well! A pleasant garden to eat in with hammocks! One of the days was a couple singing in the garden, which enhanced the atmosphere! I meant to stop by again on my way out but ended up taking to long.
If you're an energy feeler I suggest walking along the path in the back corner of the garden. I love the feel back there! Don't be afraid to take your shoes off and place your feet in the Earth. The staff here has 150% been delightful! They're very welcoming. They're happy to be there. They're willing with openness to answer any questions. The staff did not make me feel rushed at all.
I absolutely love this place! I don't see myself coming back to Sedona in the future but if I do pass through, I'll be sure to stop in. The ChocolaTree is definitely a breath of fresh air! A light in the center of darkness!
Appreciate a celiac safe option.
Note- their flour blend, which is what they use in 90% of their goodies, has almond flour in it making it completely unsafe for someone with an almond/ Tree nut allergy. For a shop that caters to people with allergies you would think they would avoid such a major allergen.
Is also a very pricy stop with iconic-ly small Gluten free portions.
I found this restaurant on an app that helps you locate restaurants with gluten free options in the area. I loved it the second I walked in. There's outside seating in a beautiful garden setting. Indoor seating is nice as well. There are a ton of really great gluten free food options. It's hard to find restaurants with so many great GF items to choose from. Our server, Tanya, was so attentive, kind, thoughtful and helpful. I would come back just for her. If you make your way to Sedona, try this place. Ask for Tanya - you will not regret it.
The non-pizza, long fermented pizza was great - worth a try. The decorations looked good, too. Though the long fermented dough is gluten-friendly and not gluten-free, it is nonetheless healthier than the quickly made average pizza.
The tamale with mole was so delicious!! Great gluten free options! Be willing to wait— it’s all fresh and worth every second! My kids devoured it— my only regret is not ordering more.
I ordered a gluten free pizza to go. I had an event the next day and looked forward to my meal. After my first piece, I started to feel ill. I am gluten free and have never had any issues if items are cross contaminated. This pizza made me so sick, i missed my event and was sick for 3 days.

Dedamnlicious! Sums it up in a nutshell. They’ve really gone the extra mile here to make unique and fantastic cuisine here. There seems to be something for everyone too, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and everything else. My only complaint is I didn’t find this gem sooner!
My 2nd time visiting for lunch. The food, drinks and service are all wonderful! We had the short rib chimichanga and Cuban sandwich on gluten free bread. Both were fantastic!
This is my new favorite spot! I love the clean, wholesome food and the genuinely kind people who work here. The atmosphere is inviting with great music and a relaxing vibe. They offer plenty of organic and gluten-free options, which I really appreciate. I had the best Cortado in town here—and I’ve tried a few! Their breakfast bacon and sausage are nitrate-free, and many of their ingredients are organic. Highly recommend!
One of many restaurants in Sedona that are great with dietary restrictions, especially dairy-free and gluten-free options. Ordered the Golden Latte and Avocado Toast, both of which were flavorful. Highly recommend the Local Juicery in Sedona and around Arizona. Might be a little crowded and slow during a holiday weekend, but worth the wait to get your order!
Awesome donuts! Every time we visit Sedona, without fail we are there… great tasting Espresso, definitely recommend.
Be ready to stand in line unless you are there before 7 am 😊. Very popular with tourists as well as locals.
Oh, they have a gluten free base donut on which they can apply available flavor frosting… lemon is awesome! Other favorite is nutty one- come to think of it, every donut is awesome, enjoy!
This was the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. First, I am gluten free and there are very few options but they still gave me the wrong plate and I unknowingly had gluten which resulted in a reaction. The server was very rude when it was brought up and said it was my fault that it happened. They did not even take it off the bill which I think is ridiculous. 10/10 do NOT recommend.
Fantastic burger with chorizo and jalepeno, gluten free choices, delicious coleslaw.
Jose was an attentive and knowledgeable server, great lunch choice in Sedona!
I had the steak sandwich and my husband had the brisket sandwich. It was amazing! They also had gluten free buns. Great view on the patio too. And they have heaters on the patio. Lovely experience!
So many gluten free options and the staff is SO friendly. I placed my order and they were incredibly helpful and patient with my decision. I am gluten and dairy free, ordering was very easy. I had so many options, which for me is rare. The first time I visited, I got my order to go and put together a variety of sauces. I was trying to organize them so I knew which one was which and a really nice cook offered me a marker.
The first order was a half lb of brisket. I figured I’d have leftovers for the next day. Well, I didn’t. I ate the entire order and while I felt full, I didn’t feel stuffed, which showed me this was high quality meat.
I was told by a local that this is one of the local favorites. The locals are right, the food is high quality and so is the staff!
Asked 3 times about gluten free buns. Served a regular bun. Service was sub par, waiter disappeared for long periods of time had to flag someone down more than once to get coffee and for support. Never again.
Great experience… our waitress was very helpful and attentive. Food was delicious! One of the best gluten free crusts I have tried. Would absolutely recommend and visit again!
We ate here for an early Dinner on a weeknight in late June and had no issue getting a table. After ordering they did bring us each a bite of some Focaccia bread that was very good.
I ordered the 2 Empanada meal and got the Hawaiian Empanada and the Green Chicken Chili Empanada along with some fries. The fries were good, better than fast food fries but not reinventing the wheel. The Hawaiian was very good, but the Green Chicken Chili was outstanding. You need to try it if you go. I would love to know how they packed the amount of flavor into it.
My wife got the Vegan Thai Chili Burger and fries. The burger patty itself was very good. I believe the bun was gluten free and it sort of fell apart, which is par for the course from my experience. It may have been better by just having the patty and putting a good sear on it, like a crab cake. Still good though.
They had some hot sauce on the table that I believe was made in house. Give it a try, good heat and flavor.
The price was not too bad, for a tourist city. If the empanadas were not as good as they were, I would likely say they are overpriced, but as it stands It is just worth it.
They looked to have a good booze selection and a nice patio. Looks like it would be a good spot to kick back.
1st time and will definitely be back! They offered breakfast & lunch. Everyone enjoyed their meal and service staff was excellent. They also offer gluten-free options.
One of the best burgers I’ve ever had and appreciative of the gluten free bun option. Cute and quaint town with great views of the red rocks near Sedona
My group had dinner here a few weeks back and the service and food were both AMAZING! We had the corn crusted scallops, chorizo queso verde fundido, smoked pork cheeks and duck carnitas. Also noteworthy that the entire menu with the exception of one item can be made gluten free!! The prickly pear margarita and roasted pineapple mezcal were absolutely delicious!!!
My mother and I fully enjoyed every piece of our meal! The salad, the soup, the house made bread, the pasta and even the gluten free pasta!!!! I think they hold a wonderful standard while also creating leniency when it came to the menu and atmosphere. Absolutely will be coming back here again
Liked this slot a lot! Lunch was great - I ordered the Pump House Sandwich on Gluten free bread and it was top notch! I loved that at lunch they offered breakfast too for the kids. The oatmeal and The Classic were perfect for two kids to share. They saved the day with crayons and paper too.
The food is fresh and excellent. The service is outstanding. We need to follow a crazy diet with no gluten, dairy, egg or seaweed. No problem here. It’s the only Sedona restaurant that can serve us a variety of excellent food.
I still cannot believe how healthy and tasty their food is. All vegan & gluten free. Amazing people & delicious food. We kept coming back twice a day during our whole stay. Definitely our go-to restaurant in Sedona.
There are literally almost no meals nor appetizers, nor dessert that are suitable for gluten free, nor for vegans or even vegetarians. I am GF and my friend is vegetarian and another non dairy and the options were almost nothing. I was able to eat the pepper appetizer. The first one was good and mild so we ordered another and the second was so hot that no one could eat it. The tuna I ate off of the tuna nachos was very good. I asked not once, but twice for my soup to be gluten free and it came with the croutons anyway. Thank God I am not celiac. I didn't have time to ask for a new one as the main course was already coming out by the time I could have. So I just picked them out. But that's not OK when I asked twice for gluten free.
My steak was wonderful, but I did order the most expensive steam on the menu. The mashed potatoes were great too but for the price my side of potato's was a few tablespoons and my side of carrots was 3 mini carrots. Delicious but barely enough to pair with the 18oz steak that I got. So it left my longing. My friends got the smaller steak and, unfortunately it was so small that they all also felt dissatisfied. But those were the only 2 steak choices on the menu.
My friend was so excited for the strawberry shortcake. But there was a ton of dry biscuit and literally no strawberry sauce. There was a bit of whipped cream and a few slices of strawberry. My friend said it was very dry and lacking. I had the creme brulee and it was an astounding upper layer and the lower layer was also amazing in consistency and sweetness. But I would have loved something dun added to it. I saw one made with homemade almond tequila somewhere... things like that.
Also of their food was very bland.
All the people with dietary restrictions left feeling left out.
The food that was acceptable basic was very good for what it was. Nothing unique about the potatoes or steak but they were very nicely done. So kudos for that.
Had an absolutely AMAZING time at brunch here! We started my husbands birthday with mimosa flights that were amazing. We then had amazing gluten free omelets. The wait staff was so nice they brought out a piece of cake(not gluten free) for my partner and sang him happy birthday. It was so awesome! Totally would come here again if back in Arizona!!
Sedona was truly a dream destination on our Arizona trip, and part of what made it so special was the incredible lunch we had at this restaurant! With a wonderful selection of gluten-free options, the menu struck the perfect balance between healthy dishes and bold, delicious flavors. Every bite was a treat, and the atmosphere only added to the experience. Thank you for making our visit so memorable – we can’t wait to come back next time we're in Sedona!
My husband and I was trying to find a healthy place to eat, after a long day of trail hiking. So we look up gluten free options. Wildflower was the first that popped up. Amazing place to eat
I flew to AZ to visit a sound healer in town, Valerie Sanjali Irons, at Aumbase Yoga and Sound Studio. While visiting, I found a cool cigar shop in town and after browsing and making my cigar selection, the guys there gave me a recommendation to try Gerardo's Pizzeria. Valerie gave me great recommendations, so I figured these guys would too. While I don't eat calamari, my friend who ordered it said it was well seasoned and cooked nicely. She liked it a lot. She's also gluten free, dairy free, etc. Everything bothers her. We were curious how she'd feel the next day, but she said she felt a lot better than she would have if we ate at any other traditional restaurant with the same ingredients, so we feel like their above-and-beyond ingredient sourcing made a big difference. I tend to be a pizza snob since I'm from the east coast. you can't go wrong with good wood fired pizza though and of course it was delicious. While out hiking, someone we met from Long Island, NY gave me a recommendation to try Pizzeria Bianco when I was back in Phoenix. It's apparently rated top 5 pizza in the country. I ate there a day or two after Gerardo's, so I was able to compared their pizzas. While both were good, Gerardo's definitely had more depth of flavor and I preferred it. I was excited to try their chocolate ricotta cheesecake, but turns out it's really chocolate cake with a thin layer of cheesecake or mouse on top. Still good, but I jump at the chance to have ricotta cheesecake since I don't see it often. We heard it was a challenge to get a table and it was certainly full when we went. We got the last table inside, but it's obviously a well loved restaurant in the area. Glad we went.
Had a good experience. Cupcakes and gelato, both delicious including the gluten free flourless one. A bit surprised to see a few bad reviews about but I guess customer service depends upon the person behind the counter, however affects the brand.
Again, we had good service and will come again. Thanks!
Amazing food and service! Drinks are delicious, food is cooked to perfection. Bison pot roast and ribeye were our favorites. Staff friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is super cool feeling very old west vibe. Vegetarian and gluten free options. both times we went there was a wait but lots of cute shops to see while waiting. Street parking which is free after 6.
I visited this restaurant hoping for a safe and enjoyable dining experience, as they advertise gluten-free and vegetarian options. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The menu had very limited selections that actually accommodated my dietary needs, and when I asked the waitress for help navigating my allergies, she was dismissive and unhelpful. It felt like a burden to ask for even basic clarification.
To make matters worse, we were rushed through our meal and even had our plates taken before we were finished eating. It felt like the staff was more interested in turning tables than ensuring we had a good experience. I left feeling unwelcome and frustrated. If you have food allergies or specific dietary needs, I would not recommend this place.
