Early dinner on a weekday. Restaurant was largely empty but began to fill up after we finished our meal. Really nice seating and bar area. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Service was very good and she was able to provide a lot of information regarding the gluten free menu items. The gluten free menu is pretty extensive which was great! Had the cheese steak spring rolls which were absolutely delicious! Crab cake and fish sandwich were enjoyable. Dessert was upside down pineapple cake which we really liked as well. Drinks were also made well - we had the espresso martini which we would definitely order again! The only issue we encountered was the bathroom soap dispenser was broken so we couldn't wash our hands. That was a little frustrating but they helped resolve the situation. I would definitely return again to try more menu items!

Amazing restaurant with a different menu for gluten free, they are super careful with any type of allergies. the food is delicious I 100% recommend it

Not Celiac safe. Went there for lunch yesterday and my wife got glutened by cross contamination.

Melissa Johnson

As someone with a gluten allergy I am grateful to have a food stop where I don’t have to worry about anything on the menu. Been multiple times and everything is fresh and consistently good.

Scott Coker

Excellent food and a lot of Gluten free options.

Always looked like a fun place when I drove by and finally went a few weeks ago with friends for dinner. It was amazing. Our waitress, Brenda, was incredibly kind and helpful. She talked us through the menu and made great recommendations. We all ended up getting the grilled arepa llanera- a delicious combo of avocado, steak and cheese with a sauce. We also tried different sides- I had the tequenos which were sooo good. For beverages - they had a great happy hour and we got $7 blackberry sangria that was a perfect addition. I think we all enjoyed it. But I will say our overall favorite was their green garlic sauce. They need to bottle it- its that good! Also- almost EVERYTHING was gluten free! Overall it was a great experience. Will definitely go again!

Mac Cafurello

Talk about a wonderful place. Originally my first time going to this store was 2 pick up cupcakes that were both gluten and dairy free. I was then told to go in the mornings to see what treats that had out. I have gone twice now and will most certainly be returning. Not only is the treats super delicious (my favorite being the Cinnaminis), but the staff is super friendly and kind. They don’t hesitate to answer your questions and can tell they are putting fourth there best effort into their work. Highly recommend, i’ll be back!

Ynot pizza has our go-to place for years. They take great care in preparing Gluten Free food. We feel safe with their food handling practices.

Elaine Gawronska

Had to wait a few minutes to get seated as they were busy. Obviously popular so that's good. Lots of gluten free and vegan options which were clearly marked on the menu and much appreciated. The food was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly.

A Lawson

Had an amazing experience last night for our anniversary! I’m newly gluten sensitive and there was so much on this menu I could enjoy and everything was delicious! Waitress was kind and helpful! Drinks were delicious and I will forever be dreaming about the chicken tirokroketes!

As always, my gluten free vegan pizza was fantastic!!

stella evans

Their gluten free chicken was excellent. The service was outstanding. John Paul went above and beyond to take care of us. We will definitely be back.

The food was really really good, I got the fried chicken, the crab cakes and we got the chocolate cake. They were all gluten free and delicious. The building though was so old, and it smelled awful, was very dusty and was a bit hard to breath because it was so musky. I’ve been to some restaurants that were in older buildings and none of them have been like that. Then our service was really bad also. So food-5 stars, atmosphere-1 star service-1 star. There is outdoor seating so maybe it’s worth it to sit outside and eat in the fresh air. They had a ton of gluten free options though.

L Miller

Lots of healthy options. I tried their sausage biscuit and Cyprus side salad. The biscuit was good but the salad was stellar! So fresh and delicious. The dressing so light and flavorful. They had lots of gluten free and vegan options. Enjoyed the inside, very warm and inviting.

Sara Kelly

My gluten free family was so happy to find a new gluten free bakery in our travels. Delicious treats (especially the pepperoni rolls) and great prices. We have found our new spot to visit every time we are in the area. 😋 Hopefully next time we can dine in and enjoy the awesome ambience of the restaurant.

Came here on Valentine’s Day. My server Lexi made sure my meals would be shellfish and gluten free. Also love how many gluten free options there are too. I had the devils pass dip which was so flavorful and had the cheeseburger which was good too. Also tried the chocolate decadence which is gluten free too, very rich chocolate flavor

It was my first time visiting cheesetique. I just moved to the neighborhood so I wanted to check it out. For reference this Restaurant has gluten free options but they forgot and served me gluten free bread! I have an autoimmune disease that is sensitive to gluten so hence why I am gluten free. My husband and I ordered gluten free appetizers and he got the pasta. Then my sandwich came and I didnt know if it was GF. The bread looked gf but it tasted different than gf. I began to eat it when the waitress came by 10 mins later to check on us I asked her to confirm if it was GF and she looked at me saying whoops, "no, so sorry." I trusted her given our long convo about gluten free about all our other items. I don't know if she forgot or the chef and kitchen didnt read the notes but we were clear I was GF. The manager came by apologized told us he took off my sandwich but we shared with him if it was more severe someone could have died or gotten more sick... which can be a lawsuit. I told him he should have comped us for the entire meal. It was unacceptable. He then promptly said dont worry about paying. We left a tip for our waitress still but we are very disappointed about our experience and the mistake. This experience occurred on Aug 2nd and 7pm. We left the restaurant with our food items to go at around 8:30pm.

Good pasta and gluten free options… the fact that I couldn’t get a Mocktail or alcohol free wine here in 2025 sucked…. Add mocktails asap please!

Alexis Taylor

We got our wedding cake here and it was phenomenal! I have a ton of allergies, wheat and dairy being my biggest triggers. Finding a vegan gluten free wedding cake that still tasted good was really important to me. WPA Bakery nailed it. It was beautiful and delicious!

Michelle Marcet

BEST options for gluten free and dairy free. Sam the sever was very respectful of my allergies and it was truly appreciated.

Richard Durkin

High ceilings and Southwest decor make Sweetwater Tavern a compelling restaurant. Great sandwiches and sides served by an attentive team of wait staff. They have their own beer on tap. The owners understand the needs of customers who have Celiac disease and offer gluten-free menu without being asked. Worth experiencing!

sharon wolfe

Had a fish meal with pomegranate and Quinoa on the Gluten free menu and it was amazing!

Melinda v

I love the food here. It is so flavorful and the portions are nice sized. They are as kids friendly as they can be with the older adult atmosphere. I recommend the burgers. The wine selection is fantastic! They have a great gluten feee menu.

Sanskriti Kant

This cafe is located in Reston near the lake having beautiful view. The ambience is pretty Greek and happy. You can order food from there and enjoy either inside or outside with the beautiful lake view. The pizza was brick oven cooked and was so tasty. They used fresh mozzarella. They have vegan and gluten friendly options too. The staff it’s so friendly. We also had panini that came with chips and pickled cucumber. Its was also nice. They have spicy sauce ketchup and other seasoning too you can use

Joe Brognano

Good gluten free pizza

Nathaniel Lucas

Best Thai around without a doubt. Always great food and service. If you have any allergies they are very good with adapting the dishes to accommodate. Wife is gluten free and they always get it right. Will continue to come back. Recommend: Pad Thai Gai, LEMONGRASS SOUP-incredible especially when sick.

Elenwin L

They have Gluten Free fried chicken and also GF Fish & Chips. What more can I say? Yum!

Elyssa

Favorite lunch spot for bbq. Great gluten free menu and service has always been good.

Jason Miller

They offer delicious Celiac options and take care to avoid cross contamination. Thank you for a great experience!

Laurie Collins

Everything was amazing from start to finish! They have incredible gluten free options and easily accommodated my soy allergy as well. Our server was kind and knowledgeable. He knew a lot about the area.

Ariane Volk

Delicious Thai street food & all the classics. Also high end cocktails. Highly recommend! Excellent gluten free options, as well as vegetarian options, and clearly marked.

Lora Davis

Several gluten free options. Delicious

Sheena Ethington

Tyrek the kitchen manager was also very pleasant to chat with. The food was delicious and so enjoyable ! With great prices. Also appreciated the gluten free options. This is definitely one of our favorite places ! Thank you for helping us make a sweet birthday memory

Gonna have to rate this lower until I get a response. Ordered the asiago chicken, fries, and French onion -all gluten free with listed allergies. I didnt have the soup last night and have had severe diarrhea, bloating and gas all day. Typical from eating gluten for me and last up to 1-2 weeks. I can only assume it was in fact the Asiago chicken. I rarely eat outside of my comfort spots because of this so im gonna have to recommend you steer clear if you are Celiac, GF, or have any allergies. If you cant guarantee the surface or utensils havent been contaminated, don't use them or don't make the product. I would rather have the items docked and refunded than go through this.

Dan Shevock

Great gluten free options.

George Fletcher

I was super excited to find Gloria’s while traveling up I-81. The pupusas were fantastic as were the chips and salsa. As someone who eats gluten free (I’m not celiac) the majority of the menu is naturally gluten free (a huge plus). They do have signs that the kitchen is shared so cross contamination may be an issue for some. I look forward to the next time I’m in or near Staunton and can stop in again :)

Sandy Hinden

Great flexible eating offering lots of gluten free options. Turkey burger was dry but flavorful. Glazed salmon was fantastic. Pork buns were rich, smokey, spiced and delicious.

B M

Loved the food here! We ordered the Green Goddess toast and a smoothie bowl, and both tasted great. I’m gluten-sensitive, so it was refreshing to have so many options to chose from. I highly recommend!

Steve R

Gluten free pizza was great. Price is on the high side.

Dawn L

We always stop by Blue Ridge Bagels when we are in Lynchburg. They have gluten free options, almost anything on their menu. The food and coffee is delicious!

monica carter

The gluten free waffles and pancakes are delicious!! We also enjoy the Cobb and California salads.

Jared D

Amazing gluten free waffles. And some GOOOOOOD Pumpkin Spice lattes, too!

Cindy CC

3 of us had dined at Flower Child about 2 years ago. We enjoyed our lunch here again. Long queue to order but once ordered our food came out fast. Drinks & cutlery self service. We all enjoyed our dishes. I had the Mother Earth Bowl & added chicken. One friend had chopped vegetable salad 🥗 & added salmon. Another friend had the chicken enchiladas. We shared lemon 🍋 oil cupcake 🧁 which is gluten free. We also had mango sencha green iced tea 🥤

Jennifer Aufdenberg

Pretty much anything can be made gluten-free, so it's 5 stars from that alone

Martha Depumarejo

Visiting from NYC. A great vegetarian/vegan/gluten free option place. It’s a Black owned business that promotes books and creative arts. We started off with Brussel sprouts with Balsamic vinaigrette. It was hot and had a good taste. The latte (not pictured) was very flavorful. Gluten free pancakes had a buttermilk flavor to them but a little stiff. I had the Sweet Potato hash and it was ok, a little stiff bland for me. I would recommend this place and come back on my visit.

Karen Jackson

Celiac friendly
