I had the build your own pasta bowl with gluten free pasta,marinara sauce , turkey meatballs which were big and the focaccia bread and the cheese cake with raspberry sauce. My mom had the gluten free pasta and the Alfredo sauce with chicken. It was absolutely delicious and the best gluten free I've had.I highly recommend this restaurant. The have many options for people who have food allergies, are vegan or vegetarian
and options if you don't have food allergies. The atmosphere is relaxing. I have eaten there before and had the gluten free pizza.it was very good.I will definitely be going back.

We have been here many times now, each time the food tastes as good as it looks, which is mouth watering! The staff works very hard and efficient even though they seem a tiny bit under staffed. They’ve always been upbeat, compassionate and professional. I love their gluten free and vegetarian options since that’s what my partner is restricted in eating. It’s refreshing to have food in a restaurant that cares about how healthy and customizable their food is. I’ve tried just about every bowl they are all incredible. The sweet potatoes are yummy! You can’t go wrong ordering anything here, safe part of the neighborhood and beautiful atmosphere sitting outside or in
We had the very first issue ever today. I ordered what we have eaten many times, pancakes (gluten free), bacon and hash browns and my husband gets an omelet meal. We eat here 1-2 times a week. But I will never go back. We called in because the pancakes we got today had a weird sweet after taste possibly too much vanilla. Whatever it was we called in and talked with a manager named Molly. Molly was combative saying she just tried the pancakes and no one else has complained. I have never been treated so poorly by a manager especially if I have a legitimate issue. Her only option was to come back immediately to have them remake. I didn’t have time and said so, she said that was all she could do. She made it clear she didn’t believe me either. She also said she didn’t mind us never coming back. If their customer service is like this I will never go back. Which is sad because this was our favorite restaurant. Molly you tried to make me feel small and instead you just lost a customer for life!
Malee’s Thai is located in the heart of old town Scottsdale. The food is authentic and prices are reasonable. They can make many dishes vegan or gluten free and the portion sizes are generous. I have a decent bar with many options. I would highly recommend trying it!
I had a very friendly and knowledgeable server. They were familiar with what was needed and did everything to ensure my safety. Food came out of quick and I enjoyed the yummy corned beef hash. I didn’t have any reactions after eating here. I’d recommend this snooze location to fellow celiacs.
This place just landed on my son’s “favorite food place of all time” list 🤣 The employees are all cheery, kind, and helpful. The ingredients for the bowls are all fresh and abundant and for any fellow gluten free eaters the sauces and noodles are all labeled! They make home made ice cream and change the flavors regularly. Tonights flavor is horchata and it is to die for! The vegetable soup is so good, too! There are also fresh brewed loose leaf teas to drink! What a wonderful place. This reminds me of a Mongolian bar b q in Puerto Penasco l. I’m wondering if it’s the same owners? Thanks guys, we can’t wait to come back!
Ella at Lings was pleasant with a wonderful smile. She listened to understand which is awesome because my wife suffers from celiac disease. It can be very difficult to order because unfortunately the gluten-free diet was treated as a fad/preference instead of a autoimmune disease. This is detrimental to the lifespan of a person with celiac even in small amounts. (Over time with constant exposure)
As for the food, my wife and I would agree it is amazing. The food was fresh, crisp, and most of all flavorful. With the great wok taste and no burn. The manager even approached the table the different times to make sure everything was up to our likings. He was professional as well as personable and made feel at home. We couldn't have asked for a better first time experience. Thank you
Brandon was our server and he did AMAZING! It was a Saturday night though not very busy inside dining, yet the door dash and other deliveries are slamming the restaurant and it felt like he was virtually running the whole front of the restaurant by himself, making drinks for people, serving us very well, and assuring my girlfriend with her gluten free and vegetarian options as well as ensuring I was able to customize my order which tasted beyond what I’ve eaten before. I’ve had a lot of carne asada but their burrito customized with the carne asada is immaculate! We love the area and we can’t pass on such incredible service from Brandon and the quality of the food! Great atmosphere and gluten free / vegetarian options!
IMO the best thing on their menu is the bruschetta board and I was so excited when I found out that they have a gluten free bread substitute for it. I’m not sure what kind of gf bread they use but it’s incredible, it actually sticks together and doesn’t crumble apart! It’s so good that my non-gf friends will split an order with me cause they say they can’t really taste a difference.
this place was SO accommodating to our bachelorette, and the food was amazing (the girls said it was the best pasta they've had all year!).
Their team added a table so our group could dine outside, and even moved us so we wouldn't have to leave early or after the designated 2 hour window. I worked with the hostess to have champagne at the table when we arrived.
For food allergies... I have celiac, and the server and hostesses were super clear and supportive of my dietary needs.
Our server Shaun, was FAB! Really lovely and even brought us complimentary shots to celebrate the bride! Really a great experience all around. So thankful for their team!
They catered a rehearsal dinner for us that had some attendees with Celiac. The food was delicious and they were fantastic about understanding food allergies and adapting so everyone was able to feel treated!
HIGHLY recommend this location if you are looking to host a special event! The staff is incredible — friendly, knowledgeable and so attentive. Plus, the food and wine options are incredible. I also appreciate their vast gluten free menu options!
Gluten free cones and dairy free soft serve options! They take allergies seriously. They have a dedicated gluten free mixer. And the ice cream was fantastic! Absolutely coming back next time we're in town.
GET THE COOKIES.
Never ever fried—but it tastes like it has! Perfectly cooked chicken, with a delicious combo of dry rub AND sauce, which you get to choose. And tots. Delicious alternative to all the other chicken sandwich/tender places. And decent prices, too.
We also got to talk to one of the owners and learn all about the idea behind the business. FANTASTIC experience. They were supremely accommodating to my gluten-averse needs.
Oh, and get a cookie. You’re welcome.
This server Ryan is an absolute 10/10! The performance is lightning-fast, with minimal flaws and seamless functionality. The atmosphere is family friendly, and the reliability is unmatched—no crashes or downtime. I am also gluten free and have a peanut and Ryan was very tending to those needs and made lunch go smoothly! Highly recommended!
I’ve come here a handful times as a local student. I absolutely love it and always jump at the opportunity of sharing it with my friends or family when in town. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is so warm and efficient! My best friend has celiac and the couple of times we’ve gone together, they’ve provided really special care for her safety. The location itself has the perfect brunch atmosphere that’s tucked away and the local/ small-town lunch atmosphere that’s near Old Town Scottsdale.

Great experience. The restaurant is under construction but it didn’t detract from the experience. Both the managers Eddie and Rachel were fabulous and visited with us. Laura, our waitress kept the sides coming for my gluten free husband. We couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary lunch!
Good portion sizes of the classics. There were a few vegetarian options and also gluten free buns and Impossible Burgers that are both vegetarian and gluten-free. The only dessert we had was shakes, but they were good. Nice crispy fries. The wait staff is nice and they brought a coloring paper and crayons for the kids in the party. The music is a bit loud for my taste.
This place is the exact home vibe you want for breakfast! They have a gluten free and vegan menu as well. Not to mention their drinks are amazing. The flights are full sized and will leave you wanting to come again!
This place is really cute! They have a gift shop in the lobby, with some eclectic items. The people are super-friendly; and the southern recipes are well prepared. I was, however, kind of disappointed with what I chose, which was the biscuits and gravy. I felt sick to my stomach, afterwards, for hours after, average biscuits were more like the consistency of a pre-packaged, British-style crumpet/scone consistency, plus the gravy tasted really processed with no flavor, OTHER than poor-grade , bulk seasoning mix. My roommate’s selection, though (which she let me try) was good, though, which was a scramble which had spinach, feta cheese and tasted really fresh, and didn’t disappoint in freshness and flavor. If I go back in the future. I’ll be ordering it for brunch! I also got a desert to go from the counter, which was a chocolate peanut butter ganache cupcake that was out of this world! They source their baked goods from small, local vendors in the area, and have many gluten free and vegan options!
The smoothie bowls here are my favorite lunch!!!! I am gluten free and vegan and they have quite a few options! As a massage therapist I have to be mindful of what I eat for lunch and these are perfect! No tummy sounds in the treatment room 🤣 The people here are alway so friendly and kind! 100% recommend
I love this place. Being vegan and gluten free, this was a find. Great food, great drinks, amazing deal for the money. Wonderful staff that really take care of you. A must go.

Thanks to some recommendations I found on Eat Gluten Free AZ on Instagram, we stopped at Diego Pops near our hotel in Old Town Scottsdale for happy hour where all apps and margaritas are half off. They have a marked gluten free menu which is important to me as a Celiac. I was told that their fryer is dedicated but flour tortillas are stored near it, so to avoid potential cross contamination, avoid the fried foods.
After being put on a 15 minute wait list, we were seated outside. The weather was fantastic so it was very comfortable in the outdoor dining area next to the bar. On the table are 6 different sauces. Try them all - my favs were the pink one and the light green serrano one.
We got a frozen house blue raspberry margarita, 2 Diego (house) margaritas, a cheese quesadilla (not GF, but my husband loved it), elote (great), a bowl of tortilla soup (12/10 it was delicious), a corn cheese dip (fine) with tortillas rather than chips to avoid potential gluten cross contamination, and a pineapple pork bowl with coconut rice (not a fan.)
Between ordering our drinks and when our food came out, it was like maybe 40 minutes. We didn't mind because the weather was good and we were chatting and had our drinks, but our waitress kept updating us that she was on the kitchen to bring out our stuff. We were like, "it's fine." She came out 2 more times and said the kitchen had lost our ticket. Whatever, we were in no rush. Stuff happens.
She was super apologetic even though we didn't complain and the manager came over and gave us vouchers for 6 free tacos and comped our entire meal!!! We told them it wasn't necessary and we could pay but the waitress said it was thanks for being so nice and understanding. That made me feel sad that they clearly deal with a lot of rude, unreasonable people. It wasn't necessary to comp our meal or give us free taco vouchers. We did tip her in cash an amount that would have been 1/3 of the original bill.
Please don't go expecting free food but if you're in Scottsdale, please go check out the food at Diego Pops and get the tortilla soup for sure.
Nautical Bowls in Scottsdale serves the best acai bowls in town! The Nauti Bowl (acai + pitaya, peanut butter, bananas, granola & cacao nibs) packs flavor and nutrition, perfect for a post-workout refuel or refreshing snack. I also love the Paddle Bowl with blue majik, mango, coconut, strawberries, honey & granola, feels like a mini-vacation in every spoonful. Everything’s organic, plant-based, gluten- and dairy-free, ideal if you're eating clean. The shop is clean, bright, and has a laid-back surf vibe; staff are friendly and helpful, even letting me customize my bowl. Whether you're craving a nutrient-packed smoothie bowl or a light, flavorful meal, this is the spot. Highly recommend for healthy eats in Scottsdale!
Noah was amazing! It was a busy Friday night and he was so prompt and so nice. The bruschetta board was amazing as well as the cocktails. Would recommend sitting in his section. I have dairy and gluten allergies and made sure my food was safe and gave me yummy substitutions.
Edited 8.14: Apparently the dining experience here is entirely dependent on wait staff. Unfortunately after many positive experiences, this evening was an abysmal disaster. Our appetizer was sent to the table wrong, they scraped off the ingediedients that were to be left off and delivered it as though it were fresh. Numerous remnants of the old ingredients remained. Our meals, at 4pm, in a nearly empty restaurant, took an hour and were prepared differently than ordered, in style, ingredients and temperature. The on duty manager was less than sympathetic at both issues and we were made to feel as though this were our problem. We'll need to find a new favorite spot.
We're repeat diners at this upscale neighborhood kitchen and bar. We usually order the filet mignon and salmon, which are reliably cooked to perfection. The meatloaf and tavern salad are also favorites. Vegetables are always fresh. Godiva chocolate torte is decadent. For those who need gluten free there are plenty of options. The outdoor patio at the bar is a best bet if you can't secure the reservation you need. Friendly staff. Love this place.
Such a fun find! Breakfast was delicious and they had REAL gluten free options. It was also very reasonably priced and the staff was fun and quick even on a busy Sunday morning.
We love coming here for happy hour and it’s a good spot for gluten free options as well. Good value for food and drinks and a fun spot to stop in while walking through old town.
Went with a group (8 total) of friends who had recommended this place for breakfast and WOWZA! Everyone at the table LOVED the food (and drinks) they ordered and we ALL have different tastes. Very accommodating, staff was amazing. It was soul-crushing that I could not finish everything. Would go back in a heartbeat! Try the ricotta gluten free pancakes…life changing.
The family was so excited to eat here, as we do not have one in our home state. The food and service was absolutely amazing. My oldest has celiac disease and they were so accommodating to him. LOVED IT!
They have gluten free options! I got french toast (and didn't get cross contaminated) and sampled the coffee flight. It was all delicious and we were in and out quickly.
Happy to find a spot with a few vegan options for breakfast. We enjoyed the crispy polenta tacos, tempeh breakfast bowl, and a modified avocado toast (subbed sourdough for the egg bread, subbed tempeh for the bacon/egg, and added sliced tomato)
A few vegan side options as well, like the crispy polenta, breakfast potatoes, fresh fruit, beans and rice.
Not the *most delicious* food we’ve ever had but we were so glad to go somewhere with real vegan options and something for the whole family (including kids, gluten free, and vegans)
This place was so good we ordered from here 4 times while on vacation. Incredibly grateful they had amazing gluten free options. I think Naperville, IL would be a great spot to open a location… ;)
Celeste made my experience today at shake shack absolutely wonderful when she greeted me with a beautiful smile. She was patient with me as I was explaining my dietary restrictions! I was thrilled that there were gluten free options. Restaurant was clean, service was fast!
Celiac friendly
