Fantastic gluten-free breakfast sandwich!! Would recommend!!!

So glad we found this place! I have celiac disease. The options and food were outstanding!!

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.

Not celiec safe. Had a severe reaction after eating the gluten free pizza here.

The steak is very good, the gluten free bread is very tasty, the service is very good.

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.

Generous portions and delicious food ! Gluten free and vegan options 🌱

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.

Lots of Gluten free options!

Really good coffee and baked goods as well as sandwiches. They also offer gluten free and vegan options as well. Fun little spot. Would go back.

Having celiacs I feel comfortable ordering food here and not having to worry... thank you!

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.

Delicious pizza. The gluten free and vegan options are amazing as well!

Nancy Kaproth

Love the fireplace. Restaurant is always warm...especially great for dining in the winter months. Celiac knowledgeable, many delicious options for foods served gluten free.

Judd Karlman

Loved the gluten-free options. Delicious ramen, best ramen I've had since living in Japan.

Doug Ambrusko

Highly recommend! They have gluten free options for bagel or toast. Made to order right on the spot, quick courteous service, nice atmosphere. Privately owned. Also, as far as we could find the only real smoothie place around!

Nakieda Massey

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.

First time here- meal was lovely. All the courses were excellent, service was great, wine list is simultaneously serious *and* affordable. Bravo. Bonus points for being so accommodating to my gluten-free situation. Not always an easy thing with French cuisine, but was no trouble at all here. Much appreciated, and we'll surely be back.

I’m gluten free and they have great gf French toast. The waitress was very attentive. Also it has a great view

Cyrus Marcy

So happy to see gluten free and vegan options. I am new to this diet and was stunned at how delicious the food was. The staff were lovely and everyone seemed to be having a great time and getting along well. Can’t wait to try more of their menu options.

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.

Lori Forrester

Their cider is delicious especially the dry ones. And most of the food can be made gluten free.

Ross Tate

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!

We had a very nice gluten-free meal here.
