That GF roll is SO GOOD!!!

Schuyler Nesmith

Can't go wrong with this selection, they're nachos de La casa is off the hook. My wife has celiacs and most items on the menu can be made gluten free.

Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food

Melissa Goyette

Cocktails were great, food was sublime. I was shocked to learn the whole dinner menu is gluten free! Vegan/veggie options were so easy too.

Luigi’s Pizza Fresca – A Fairmount Gem! If you're in the Fairmount area, Luigi’s Pizza Fresca is a must-visit! I had the pleasure of trying their Fresca Works pizza as well as a custom-built gluten-free pizza, and I was blown away. Gluten-free pizza can be hit or miss, but Luigi’s absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin, yet strong enough to hold all the delicious cheese and sauce without getting soggy—a rare find. The Fresca Works pizza is also packed with flavor, a perfect choice if you want something hearty and balanced. I've tried many gluten-free pizzas, and this one easily ranks among the best. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you’ll find something to love here. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

I say this was disappointment and want to preface I love the food here and always look forward to visiting, but the last 4 times I’ve visited I’ve had issues every time. The last time I’ve visited, again a lot of things they didn’t have, but the thing I did order (the waffles) I never actually got. I waited over 30 minutes and was given no update. The person I was with got their food within 15 minutes. I was looked at now and then (avoided weirdly enough) as I waited but no one told me anything. I go up and ask if there is any rough idea when my food would be ready when I’m told the oven for the waffles wasn’t working. Again, had I been told from the beginning this wouldn’t have been as big of an issue. So I ended up just canceling the order because I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for my food. The results of my past visits have me not wanting to visit for a while, unsure if or when I’d go back. :( The first time they didn’t have the oat milk ice cream and other ingredients (multiple). No big deal, I just wish there was some note or posting somewhere to let me know ahead of time. Every time over the last 4 visits they didn’t have any gluten free bread or gluten free bagels. Now as someone who is allergic to gluten, my options for food were cut to a very small selection. Again, please post it somewhere so I know to wait to come back until I can actually order the foods I have visited to get.

I've been eating at Rybrew for the past several years - it is by far my favorite sandwich and bottle shop in Philly. A variety of vegetarian options, gluten free bread, and fresh soup every day which has never let me down. Their salads are a meal - even a traditional hoagie eater like me didn't mind eating my greens here! They have an excellent selection of beers/ciders for any palette, with rotating specials/deals/favorites to help guide you. Their baked goods are great, too. That carrot cake cupcake is well worth the calories.

Miranda Meyer

Literally the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. This is the only pizza place I go to now. Plus it's not overly expensive (especially for gluten free!!!)

Amy Ross

I love this place! I eat delicious gluten free meals (Celiac-Safe!) with just a simple phone call to the store after placing my order on the app. The staff is trained to understand cross-contamination and cross-contact as well as how to avoid it as much as possible. Today, I discovered my meal bag to be taken by another customer accidently > Honeygrow Staff immediately remembered making my order and without hesitation offered to remake my meal quickly and with care. Thanks Honeygrow Staff for your kindness and extra care. Thanks again, Aelyn, for your kindness.

amazing gf pizza

Thank you too Chante for making my experience a wonderful one. Love my Gluten Free Meat Eaters Pizza👍👍👍

Ana Silva

Brunch was fantastic! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent—seriously, my servers (yes, multiple!) were amazing. They didn’t have gluten-free bread, but there were plenty of other gluten-free options to choose from. Super impressed and would definitely come back!

Shaina Penz

I’m gluten-free and usually nervous trying new spots but this has been so easy!! Everything was perfectly labeled and staff answered all my questions. I really appreciate places that make dietary stuff stress free.

One Shot Coffee in Philadelphia is a charming cafe that’s celebrated for its artfully-crafted coffee drinks and welcoming atmosphere. With a menu that caters to various dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options, it’s a haven for all. The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich comes highly recommended, and the oat milk latte is a must-try. Whether you’re there to relax and journal or to enjoy a casual meet-up, One Shot Coffee’s friendly staff and delicious offerings make it a standout in the city’s vibrant coffee scene.

Fabulous new go to spot! The atmosphere, service, food (including a tasty gluten-free menu) and energy of this place was incredible. Like I said on my way out the door today, this is now my official new go to spot in Northern Liberties!

Kaitlin Rizk

Very kind staff. Helpful with showing us gluten free options

Adrian De Jesus

Went here because I was told it's a staple of no libs. Food was amazing and their staff was down to earth, I didn't feel like I was being served rather I was one of their regulars. Go hungry and ready to take food home with you the portions are large. I'm def not vegan or gluten but I was surprised by the amount of options they had to accommodate that.

Sammie Schwartz

Best nachos I’ve ever had

enrique chacón

Food is fresh and very tasty; the presentation is exceptional. They have freshly ground masa to make homemade tortillas. Lots of gluten-free options. They have an amazing mezcal selection and great cocktails.

Anya Reiser

Super careful with cross contamination!

Serena Ringer

Great service, great music, amazing drinks, and an incredible gluten-free selection. A hidden gem we will be frequenting

Chelsea Doland

The coffee is good but I'm really bummed they no longer have anything Gluten free. It was so nice stopping in for coffee and having GF options that weren't another granola bar. This place was a real oasis in the neighborhood in terms of GF cookies/pastries, now its just another coffee shop.

Melissa Chedid

Update: I bumped it down a star because I tried to order the same exact thing again as takeout and they couldn’t accommodate me (I asked for tofu that wasn’t fried). So, seems inconsistent. — This will become your go-to Thai restaurant. Food is fresh and delicious. Portions are large, and price is reasonable. They have lots of vegan and gluten free options. It’s a BYOB but they have some Thai iced teas and coffees. They are very accommodating, overall it was a great experience! Highly recommend.

Sarah Munson

Such a Philly Gem! My friend and I had a delightful dinner here on a Saturday. They were able to seat us even though we didn't make reservations. They have so many vegetarian options! The server was so attentive and knowledgable about the menu. They were able to attend to my dietary restrictions. They provided extra cucumbers to make the hummus gluten free! Restaurants like these make Philadelphia special!

Христя С

Lovely spaces indoors and outdoors. Menu with options for vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free diets. Well selected wines. Recommend the beet salad, grilled octopus, and seafood pasta. Efficient service. Relaxed meal in a nice atmosphere. Kudos!

Taigh Anderson

Amazing sandwiches, so much flavour! Gluten free options too :)

Brian Hacker

Had a wonderful brunch. I loved the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy. The side dish of quinoa potatoes with onions and peppers was amazing. The gluten free waffles were perfect. Highly recommend

Wow! A Celiac's dream for SAFE dining with so many available gluten free menu items. Very delicious food, drinks, and a super friendly, Celiac educated staff. I felt comfortable and excited choosing dishes prepared gluten free both times I've eaten here with family and friends. The beautiful blue corn Pancakes de Pinole topped with fresh fruit and a mug of rich spiced coffee have become a favorite for my weekend brunch! Staff was also willing to adjust meals that I wanted to try with gluten-containing ingredients and substitute with wheat, barly, and rye-free Celiac-Safe alternatives to ensure my safety and still enjoy items that would originally be off limits for me. Thanks Cantina La Martina. You are great!

Fishtown Diner Review Google Maps leads you right to the front door. Street parking is available (when you can find it), or you can use a nearby shopping plaza a few blocks away and then walk a short distance to the diner. Upon entering, we were greeted by smiling faces, a warm dose of Philadelphia nostalgia, and murals gracing nearly every wall. We were seated in front of a mural featuring the Liberty Bell, a subway train car, a Fishtown bus, the Love Statue, and of course my favorite, the Rocky statue with the art museum in the background. Behind the register, another mural pays homage to local sports legends: the Philadelphia Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies, celebrating the city's rich heritage. The diner offers a mix of tables, booths, and counter seating, while the menu boasts plenty of choices at reasonable prices. We arrived at 11:30 AM, and the atmosphere really picks up around noon, so I recommend getting there before 12 if you can. Now, let’s talk about the food. I enjoyed this experience with my wife and kiddo. My kiddo ordered the cookies and cream milkshake, which was rich and creamy, and he also tried the boston crème short stack pancakes. Although the portion was so large he couldn’t finish them, so come hungry! My wife, who has a gluten allergy, opted for the salmon and grits served with a fruit cup instead of bread. The salmon was cooked to perfection without tasting frozen or dried out, and its flavor was spot on. As for me, I went with the Fishtown omelet, accompanied by home fries and rye toast. When the server asked if I wanted peppers and onions with the home fries, I couldn’t resist when in Rome, right? Overall, the food was fantastic and the dining experience was truly memorable. Shout out to our server, Kat, you were awesome!

Delicious and accommodating. A bit pricey for me but some nights you forget to plan ahead and this is your gluten free option.

Good vegan and gluten free options. Would recommend the hobo hash and tofu scramble.

Last Saturday at noon, I had the pleasure of visiting Silk City Diner in Philadelphia. A diner reimagined, after its major renovation in 2007. The transformation, under new management, has turned it into a sleek modern space while still maintaining that classic diner vibe. The diner is located on Spring Garden Street, and while parking can be a bit tricky, there are street parking options nearby, as well as a valet service if needed. The place was quite full, which is a clear sign of its popularity. Given the lunchtime rush, I'd recommend making a reservation before heading there. The outdoor seating area looked nice however, we opted to sit inside. Next time, I'll definitely sit outside to enjoy the good weather while eating. The music was upbeat and created a lively atmosphere, making it a fun place to be. For starters, I tried the mac and cheese ($13), which was rich and creamy with a nice crispy top. For my main dish, I ordered the Kabayaki Glazed Salmon and rice ($26), which was cooked just right with the salmon itself being tender and flavorful especially with the kabayaki. My guest opted for the BBQ chicken wings ($12), which were smoky and had a great balance of tangy sweetness. Their menu is diverse, offering various dishes, from comfort food to more upscale options. If you're gluten-free or prefer something lighter, they have options, so don't be afraid to ask your server. And do try their fresh-squeezed juice! It's a great way to start your meal. The service was attentive and welcoming despite the full house. Our waiter was friendly, visiting often and offering suggestions. Overall, Silk City Diner is a great spot to experience diner cuisine in a modern setting, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable meal.

Peter Melgren

Great spot. Gluten free blackened chicken Alfredo is my wife's favorite and I get something different every time and have yet to be disappointed.

Ravi Shankar

The manager Kareem was very helpful Good vegan and gluten free food

Melissa Chedid

The spring rolls were delicious, the seafood pho was good. The fishballs have flour so if you are gluten-free you’d have to request to remove them. It’s BYOB. There is a $10 fee if you bring your own bottle, though.

La Colombe in Fishtown is such a great spot to grab a coffee/matcha and relax. The space is large with plenty of seating, making it a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your drink without feeling cramped. I ordered an iced oat strawberry matcha and their ham croissant, both of which were delicious! The matcha had a nice balance of earthiness and sweetness from the strawberry, and the oat milk made it super smooth. The ham croissant was flaky, buttery, and perfectly savory—definitely a great choice. My boyfriend got a decaf strawberry cortado with oat milk and the gluten-free mudslide cookie. He really enjoyed both, and I had a bite of the cookie—rich, chocolatey, and so satisfying.

Really happy with this place. Food was good, came out quick. Moderately priced kids options and adult meals. Had the Nutella french toast brunch special.. delicious! Kids had chicken tenders and fries. They also have an arcade plus a big wooden boat with slides. Only downside was the lack of celiac friendly options. There were GF items, but the kitchen said there was cross contamination. Overall great experience!
