Top 6 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Norwood Park, Chicago

I've been meaning to write this review for a long time. I love October Cafe! Such a wonderful spot not too far from me. The staff is super friendly and they have a great selection of vegan and gluten free items across the seasons. As a vegan, I regularly get the Maple Forest Latte and matcha latte. The paletas, cinnamon rolls, pesto panini, and the Mediterranean sandwich are tasty. I also love the small, but thoughtful retail. They regularly change up their offerings. This place is truly excellent for grabbing a sip and a snack. 🎃

Gem of an Italian place on the northwest side. Foods great drinks are well priced and service is always good. Gluten free options are tasty and never feels “on top of eachother” even when it’s busy.

This place was awesome! I didn't have to worry about fish ingredients a lot of Asian restraunts use, and they had gluten-free options as well! Consider rounding down your spice level if you aren't sure, because I got medium and wow! 🥵 So good, though. The atmosphere is so peaceful.

We used to love the previous Zia’s but this place is just as good. The outdoor area is awesome, it’s much bigger and the same great food. I’m also gluten free and they have a ton of great options including a great gluten free pizza. Been there many times and taken food to go and it’s always good
