Absolutely loved this place! If you live around the area or happen to be in town this bakery is definitely a go to! I am 100% gluten free with celiac and when I tell you this is the best tasting baked goods I’ve had since I started my journey! I got the cinnamon rollup, beignet donuts, donut holes, muffin (berries), and quiche! Donuts were my fav! It is a little bit pricey but if you’re celiac you already know the drill! Definitely worth it especially when you get a little bit of everything!

Completely gluten free. I had a vegetarian arepa (black beans, cheese and plantains) Delicious! Verde salsa was flavorful and the plantain chips were great. I have celiac and this is a delicious and safe place to eat. Staff is very nice.

Alcove knows something that many restaurants could learn, that you can serve people with food allergies and preferences without limiting access to a variety of dishes. So many dishes prepared gluten free and they have a dedicated gf fryer. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was incredible. Even my gluten eating friends enjoyed it. The beet and goat cheese salad is not to be missed! The polenta with flamin' hot Cheetos was a favorite at the table. The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly. Definitely will be returning!

Best gluten free Nutella banana bread muffin!! I loved it! Would come back just for that alone. I also ordered a Cortado and asked for a side of sparkling water to pair it. They were very accommodating and the cashier was super welcoming. Only downside is parking kinda far especially when it rains 🥲 it’s worth it though.

They are very accommodating for food allergies and have gluten-free pasta. Also, the service and atmosphere were both great. However, I have a few complaints: the pasta needed more salt and/or seasoning and was a very small portion for what we paid and we left still feeling hungry. Typical for a fancy restaurant I suppose though. Another complaint is that my wine tasted stale like it came from a bottle they opened a week ago.

Accommodates all of my allergies [gluten\wheat and shellfish]. But Impossible to reach when your online order is wrong. And it has been wrong multiple times, so I'm leaving a comment. I order the same thing every time. Sometimes it's the wrong item[s] and sometimes stuff is just plain missing. I check my order each time to make sure I did nothing wrong

We discovered this place by a coincidence. It was a great coincidence! Fully vegan fully delicious. We took a quick lunch to go, the staff is extremely helpful with your order, friendly and skillful. We got the goddess bowl and sandwich. There are nice gluten-free options and it's good to mention that they do a lot of stuff such as sauces or seitan homemade, which is awesome. We enjoyed it all!

Visited tonight to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I’m gluten free and it can be hard to find a really good gluten free bread— their bread basket was amazing! I also got to try two different pasta dishes, the classic Tagliatelle alla Bolognese and the Carrot Infused Pappardelle with Tuscan Rabbit Ragout (the actual pasta for gluten free was exchanged for a penne). They were such different dishes, and both were very well done, with great textures and flavors— the rabbit ragout may have been my favorite of the two. Also had a great drink- the Negroni Conte— the Earl Grey infused Campari was really lovely and complimentary. Would definitely recommend!

I love Poke Hut! I have celiac disease and never get sick eating here. Portion sizes are really good for the price and the ingredients are always fresh. I get a build your own bowl and I’m always happy with my food.

Upscale street tacos is what you might call these? They are on the smaller size, they they taste amazing. The queso may be the best I've ever had. And the margaritas are legit. Lots of gluten free options if you need that.

Another fantastic meal at Nolia - I had the chicken gizzards, carrots, cornbread skillet and the duck and they were all outstanding. Great cocktails too. The ambiance is also great - nolia has somehow managed to create a bustling atmosphere that you can still have a conversation in, which is really important as most restaurants are too noisy, imo. Good gluten free options as well!

I mostly come to Lou Vino for brunch. It’s amazing every time. There’s usually some gluten free options but nothing yummy like waffles or French toast gluten free. Just like omelette and steak and eggs. Either way the mimosas are affordable for brunch and the service is usually pretty friendly.

Amazing BBQ but minimal GF options. I believe the corn side has gluten in it. I love coming here when I’m near OTR. The ordering system is a little confusing but it’s worth it for how delicious it is. The drinks are great too with a wide selection of options.
