Local gem! Recently moved to this area and visited with my sister the first time. This place is cute as heck, service is quick and friendly. It is clean, very "homey"/casual decor. Cannot recommend the food more, though! There are Gluten-free and Dairy-free options for some things. The baked good section has them well marked as well. (When in doubt, just ask. The staff are really helpful.) It's fresh, not over seasoned, you taste all the vegetables. I'm in love. ❤️ It is my personal goal to try just about everything on the menu while I am here. (My sister has plans to visit everytime she's in town) I am bringing all my friends here and they are new fans too. Been here for both Brunch and Lunch so far.

I can not say enough about CoCo Bistro! I work not far from this sweet gem, and every chance I get I’m there picking up or placing an order . Love their fries, their burgers, their drinks and the gluten free options are so tasty! The hummus with gluten free pita is my new go to:) amazing! I can’t speak enough about the customer service! There has not been a time that I’ve not been met with smiling faces and gifted hands, making sure everything was just right for me. Some here mentioned the parking challenges and imho with food and service being this great, I never mind parking in the parking deck if need be and taking a quick walk to their front doors. Thank you for creating such a warm environment for those of us who prefer plant based fare options where we can rest, relax and indulge!☺️

Lemon & Lime has some of the best butter chicken I have ever had! My waiter Edwin took great care of my whole table, super chill guy. If you are looking for a great Indian restaurant to go to in the chapel hill area, this is the place to go. They also have plenty of gluten free menu items as well!

This place is amazing! Excellent breakfast and lunch, incredible brunch, and they have just started offering dinner during the week. The food is delicious, and the people are wonderful. And don't get me started on the baked goods - so good. I don't eat gluten and there are often plenty of GF options. Very tasty coffee, my favorite is the moch diablo! And on the dinner menu, don't miss the brussel sprouts.

If you visit First Watch you have to ask for Ailyna as your server. She was so attentive, polite, and helped with the menu. Ailyna made sure that my daughter’s gluten free meal was GF. We would definitely visit again.

Great food! They offer gluten-free bread for sandwiches, and most of their meats (aside from the bologna, which is shared fryer) are gluten-free. Tastes great. Good portions. Friendly vibe, great staff. Not a long wait, just a somewhat small establishment, so everyone hears everyone else's conversations. The good thing about the size though, is that you get to eat with your eyes. Would love to eat here again!
