It's a Mecca for vegetarians. Quality and atmosphere is quite good, though the prices have significantly risen and portions decreased lately. It's a must try if you are vegetarian, also one of the few places in Ithaca where you are guaranteed to get gluten free dishes if you are allergic. Also most of their famous cookbooks are available for sale at the entrance. For most people it's a good but somewhat overpriced choice.

As someone who is very sensitive to gluten and dairy, I appreciate that this food truck is 100% gluten free and easily able to accommodate dairy free dietary needs. What's better, though, is how amazingly good the food tastes. The staff are always friendly, and on good weather days, it's wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful food court next to the inlet.

My husband, mom, and I came to brunch this past Saturday. I'm gluten free, told my waitress I was and asked for some exchanges like gluten free toast. This was the only thing I ate on Saturday because later in the day, I had a massive gluten allergy reaction. I'm not sure if the waitress didn't tell the chef or the chef didn't read the ticket correctly, but there was gluten. I just want you to know because it's important that customers with allergies feel safe to eat here, especially when your menu states gluten free alternatives. It's a lovely, delicious restaurant that I'd like to come back to. Please on behalf of us non-gluten tolerating folks, watch out for our modifications. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Thank you and have a happy new year. I sent this message to MIX on FB but they never got back to me.

Went there for gluten free options. I will not go back because of the price (10 dollar for a taco) but the tastes are very good. Their music is good too but can be hard to hear over other loud customers. They charge you an extra 18% automatically but the server will tell you to tip because that 18% extra charge is not for the tip.

Love their Sangria. Nice to get your drink at the bar while you are waiting for your table. They are able to serve Gluten Free entries. Too bad, the tortilla chips aren't fried in a dedicated GF fryer. Had to skip the chips and salsa.

Military & Healthcare Discount! Great food and lots of options for adults and kids. We went on Father's Day and was there 10 minutes before they opened, but the owner still let us come in and get started. Kids age 11 & 14 both easily found something. Great fruit cobbler for dessert. All food had a good presentation and taste. Gluten-free buns available as up charge. The mushroom sandwich was good. Did not know what to expect of it, but good. Chicken nuggets are like chicken bites, but very soft. Lots of options besides fries, including tots and sweet potato fries. Like much of this area, parking is in a paid garage. Walk about a block.

The Boatyard grill is a little confused on what type of restaurant it wants to be, with an atmosphere that's not quite casual, but not quite formal. The food is good, not great, and quite overpriced. If the prices were consistently $2-5 less, and the music turned down a notch, this place could be really great. Unfortunately it is not, was not particularly memorable, and we often struggled to get a straight answer from our server about Gluten Free options.

Good food! They offer vegan options as well. They mention gluten free options, but it is mostly turning the sub into a loaded salad. Most of the tables are set up outside, but there are a few spots inside to eat. Eating outside allows you to enjoy Ithaca’s unique downtown area. If you enjoy subs, soup, and salad then this is a good place to try out.

Great experience and food was delicious. Very accommodating to my gluten allergy. If you want the gluten free bread, you must call ahead. They do use the same equipment to cook the gluten free injera with the normal one, but they clean it in between. I opted out of the injera to be safe, but the food is delicious. The avocado salad was spicy and a great starter. The meats were flavorful and juicy. The lentils were spiced to perfection. The food doesn’t really match the dated/sparse interior, but it’s delicious and makes up for the space.

Love the concept and love the food! Everyone was amazing and the food even moreso, the blueberry coconut lemonade was the best! Also the portions are huge! My sister had the chicken and waffles and it was fantastic. The menus are labeled so you can see what's vegan and gluten-free and what's locally sourced. Definitely appreciate being able to support the local farmers. Also, all ordering was done via an iPad at the table to limit contact. Every table was sanitized and they observed the social distancing rules. I highly recommend it and next time I'm in Ithaca I'm stopping by.

The Risley Dining staff are some of the nicest on campus. The themed meals are always really fun and the desserts are probably the best on North Campus. Everything is nut free and gluten free which is great if you or your friends have dietary restrictions.

So excited about this place! Amazing gluten free pizza! My friend got a large veggie calzone and was surprised by how huge it was! I can't wait to go back and have more of their pizza, I've missed hot, delicious takeout pizza so much. I have a mild wheat allergy, not celiac, so I can't speak to low-level cross contamination, but they answered my allergy questions and had great service!

Quick Work Lunch 8" pizza takeout review! Thank you Papa John's Pizza Family Run owners! You made my day by reassuring me that I can order a mini pizza with no cheese and tons of tasty veggies without being overcharged or being given a hard time. It is also very appreciate that our family members with gluten free allergies can eat at your place because you make your own pizzas and do not cross contaminate. This is great customer service! And I was greeted the moment I walked in the door. What a treat! Thank all of you.

I'm gluten free and dairy free which limits options at most places. The fries are supposed to be gluten free in a dedicated fryer. I ate them once with no issue but got glutened the second time. I tried the vegan gf curry option the third time, and it was just weird. Raw spinach with cashews on top of it with rice next to it and a pickle and raw carrot relish. Curry sauce to dump on top. It wasn't really a curry of any Asian variety. It was edible, just not tasty. I won't be ordering again though I'm at Liquid State at least once a month with groups that meet there.

I love Asempe Kitchen! The food is healthy (at least for my dietary needs), filling, and tasty. Service is fast, so I can be in-and-out when I’m in a rush for lunch, but the atmosphere is nice, so I like to chill there when I can take my time. Except for the (delicious) monthly Sunday brunch special, the food is all vegan—and I think gluten-free—which makes it inclusive for my friends and colleagues. All this makes it a great place for events! Recently Chef Kuukua kindly let us reserve the whole restaurant; she even rearranged it into one giant table so that we could all sit together. Despise most guests being non-vegan and new to West African food, *everyone* had a great time and gabbed about how amazing the food was (and how stuffed they were). It was a huge hit!

Ordered pad thai. I asked if their dish was gluten free and was assured that it was in fact GF. I did not have a reaction and the meal was very tasty. Not sure if they omitted a sauce to accommodate my request but certainly ask if you're concerned and they'll take care of you. I wish more places would denote on their menus which items can be made or are made with this allergen in mind. Thank you again Thai Basil

This place is new in town and has something for everyone! Gluten free or vegan, doesn’t matter he’s got the hookup. There is plenty of seating outside and also inside upstairs. We walked in and ordered on the kiosk, it was user friendly and easy to pay on. Food is made to order so it took about 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. While I was waiting I tried a slice of chicken bacon ranch pizza and it was Amazing. We will definitely be back!
