I had a wonderful experience all around. I have three difficult allergies (gluten, soy, cows milk). The woman who took my order was so patient and very willing to double check all the ingredients in the menu items I was planning to order. I ended up being able to order one of their delicious gluten-free pizzas. This is the first time I’ve eaten pizza at a restaurant in three years! I so appreciated the fantastic customer service and the delicious meal.
Love everything about this place! The coffee is phenomenal, the cupcakes are so tasty and original (not the same thing week after week). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My husband is gluten free and said they have the best gluten free dessert he’s ever had.
One of my favorite pizza places. I have Celiac disease and ate delicious pizza that was safe with no cross contact! This place is sooooo good i had a dream about their pizza after eating it.
The best gluten free pizza I have ever had!!! My family also enjoys their regular pizza pies. The salads are exceptional and far superior to most pizza places. Loads of excellent drink choices and some nice treat options as well. In addition, it’s a lovely place to enjoy a wait service meal. The wait staff is always on point.
I live in West Chester and, as a celiac( severe gluten intolerance ) have about 4 options to eat out at. Ate here yesterday, got the GF truffle mushroom flatbread and GF pasta. The bartender (I sat at the bar to dine for lunch) was so knowledgeable when I asked "what GF items on your menu are celiac friendly?" All pasta dishes could be subbed out with GF penne. The bartender explained breaded chicken could be grilled, etc. it was really nice and reassuring to have such a knowledgeable restaurant staff member to accommodate my questions and dietary needs.
For the pizza, The bartender explained that the pizzas do share an oven, but the gluten-free pizzas are put on a grate to elevate them and separate utensils are used for handling. I was a little uncertain about this but ordered anyway.
Unfortunately the pasta dish was bland and not really seasoned (which is common with GF stuff). I wish the mushrooms on the flatbread were a little more sauteed, but great presentation.
I did not feel any side effects from potentially being glutened. 4 stars for the bartender's knowledge. Anywhere you go, do not assume GF labels mean celiac friendly. You have to ask!
The food here is PHENOMENAL. Best in West Chester, hands down. Awesome brunch choices and gluten free options! The service was friendly and fast. The atmosphere is cute and laid back. I definitely recommend the parmesan truffle fingerlings. SO good. We will definitely beeline for this spot when we’re back in the area.
This was a great find. We spent the day at Longwood Gardens and had made reservations here for a big group. Food was great! Everyone was happy with their food. Lots of gluten-free options. I always feel bad that there are only a few options, while the rest of us have a big menu to choose from. While the food was great, the whole experience was better, because the person in our group with celiac was able to have lots of choices and enjoy their meal. I do have to mention that we all love Italian food and some of the best "Italian" cooks I know were in my party, and we were all pleased with our meals and appetizers. That's saying a lot.
I would definitely go back if I'm in the area.
Nudy's Cafe was excellent. The manager talked to us about gluten free options and was outstanding. Our server was very friendly with excellent service. I highly recommend Nudy's Cafe
We just had a delightful time eating at Opa Taverna in West Chester, PA. It was her first time eating at their restaurant. The staff was very helpful and guided my wife in customizing a gluten-free meal and the food was delicious!

Crazy good gelato and the best and most unique flavors. Loved that they visibly had gluten free options. I have celiac disease. Each gelato had their own serving spoon so limited cross contamination risk. It wS probably the best gelato I ever had, even slightly beating Gran Cafe Laquila in philly ✍️
Very nice place to go with a large group & our server, Alecia (?) Was very thorough with helping our party with food allergies and gluten free foods. Was my first time here but other family members said they've always enjoyed their food whatever they order. Looking forward to trying it again soon with my husband & kids!
I live in West Chester and love it here! We know most of the bartenders and some servers well.
They have a rotating specials menu and it is one of the places I am eat because I am celiac. They have labeled GF stuff on their menu but they don't hesitate to modify a dish with GF requests. For example, there was a fried chicken, burrata, jersey tomato and peach dish with croutons and peaches and cream vinaigrette. I asked the bartenders to sub out the fried chicken for their blackened chicken and no croutons to make the dish celiac friendly. The kitchen was able to accommodate my request and it was great!
I also get their nachos, fries (dedicated fry only fryer), cheeseburger with GF bun or blackened chicken sandwich with extra cooper sharp, lettuce, tomato with fries with GF bun or long roll. Recommend!
Very accommodating to gluten free requests - the mushroom soup and short rib tacos are delicious. Pet friendly with covered patio and heater - a great stop for our road trip with pets. Service was very good as well.
As a person with celiac, I appreciate that I can sit at the bar to watch a game and have a gluten free burger or chicken sandwich and fries. The fryer is not gf due to cross contamination (which I appreciate the chef/staff knowing) but they will bake fries (though it understandably takes longer). The bartender Steve is seriously great. Will be back!
The Gryphon is my go-to coffee and tea shop. Everything they make is delicious and high quality. They also offer a variety of gluten free granola bars and snacks which is awesome. Lastly, I want to highlight the consistent, incredible service here. Everyone that works here is so friendly; but beyond that, it is the only coffee shop I’ve been to that always acknowledges my child and makes him a complimentary small cup of steamed milk. It is a small gesture, but goes a long way. It keeps me coming back time and time again as it truly makes my experience. In my opinion, this is the best coffee shop in West Chester.
My sister and I made an impromptu visit to Taco Mar today. We were just looking for a spot to grab a quick bite. We were blown away by not only thee amaaaazing tacos (we tried the shrimp and also the baja tacos) but also the outstanding service! We now love this place! 💗 They even helped my sister with figuring out the best options for how her gluten sensitivities. The entire staff was just so pleasant, attentive, and accommodating! We'll be bringing our youngest sister back with us next time lol. She'll love this spot. I would recommend this spot 100x over. VISIT TACO MAR! 🙌🏽
I've been here numerous times and have never been disappointed. Today was for lunch. The waitress was so friendly and helpful (I'm gluten intolerant), and the food was delicious. Very nice little spot; - it's a BYOB, too, which can make for fun!
I hosted my wife's birthday party here and they knocked it out of the park. There were 8 of us and the worst thing about the whole night was that the specials sounded so good, but there were too many. There were so many we couldn't remember them. The service was wonderful and the meals were outstanding! I had the seared scallops to start and they were AWESOME! Seriously, I wanted to lick the bowl the red pepper sauce was so good. The Ama Caesar was a hit as well and my wife raved about the mushroom soup. They made me a gluten free version of one of the specials that was an incredible seafood filled pasta. Others at the table raved about the chicken parm, risotto porcini, and the short ribs (I think) looked amazing too. The portions were large, but not crazy. We even had some room for their excellent desserts. Our server had to deal with multiple food allergies and did an amazing job. My favorite thing was she didn't just guess, she asked the kitchen and gave us answers. I loved every minute of our meal. Will definitely return when back in the area. If you're in West Chester don't skip because it's just 15 minutes outside town. BYOB is also a nice thing. HIGHLY recommend!

I love coming here! I have a gluten allergy & they are very knowledgeable on what I can and cannot have. They have tons of options and I’ve never had a bad meal. Staff is amazing and the owner is the best.
Food is good but portions were a little small for the prices. French fries in our Calamari appetizer little odd and makes us think same fryer used (heads up gluten free crowd) and curious how clean kitchen is managed. We put 1:30 in meter and should have added more time since order placed to food on table was took 40 minutes. Main course came out warm although odd to have a half scallop (claimed they gave us extra 3.5 vs 3).
Really really enjoyed this place! Food was great in the atmosphere was great! And great gluten-free options for my wife. Got to sit outside and enjoy some live music by Mike Ciunci, it was a great night.
We love this place, a short 25 minute drive from delaware, a lot closer than philly and an equivalent cheesesteak to the best (Angelo’s, del Rossi, etc.). The main reason we tried Lorenzo’s in the first place is because my wife is gluten free and this is one of the only places that has a gluten free roll! And it tastes good! My kids got mozzarella sticks and bbq wings. My daughter says this is her favorite place for bbq wings. My wife and i both ordered our cheesesteaks “talk of the town” which is cooper sharp and fried onions and my wife got jalapeños as well. The seeded roll was very good, perfect amount of cheese and good quality seasoned meat. We have no complaints other than maybe the parking but thats what you get in west chester.
Donuts are good but are very pricey. The donuts are certainly good and yummy but based on the price and size of the donuts there isn’t much value. For the price of two mini-donuts you can get three full size ones from other bakeries in the area. That said there are several Gluten Free options here that many stores don’t offer and the donuts themselves are fresh and moist. Staff was very helpful
My first time here. The Atmosphere was great service was excellent and the food was amazing! The sauce was the best I've had in a long time. Plenty of gluten free options for me. I felt like I was home at a family dinner and reminded me of when I was a kid. The food is authentic and truly amazing!
love love love this place! service is so friendly and welcoming, didn’t even have to pay till after we were served. the food is all vegan, fresh, gluten free, and delicious. 12/10👌
