Having several food allergies, this was easily the most seamless, delicious, healthy dining experience I had. There were plenty of amazing options.
I got the gluten free air-fried chicken parm with squash spaghetti noodles, a lemon tart, and a lavender matcha latte. My husband got blueberry pancakes, steak&eggs, yogurt fruit parfait, and we split a strawberry arugula salad. The dessert and drinks weren’t too sweet and the food was yummy. Our waiter Craig, did an amazing job making recommendations on items to try.
I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to go out to eat while making conscious health choices, actively trying to avoid inflammatory foods and seed oils, or with food sensitivities/allergies.
I took my family tonight for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server came over quickly and was attentive but not too much. The menu was extensive and the choices were outstanding. My young grandson was with us who needed a gluten free option. The server was able to help with an excellent option. The food was great as was the service. We all highly recommend Luna Blu and we will be going back again in the near future.
Very good coffee, I find their espresso based options especially good, nothing is overly sweet (I've had Almond Joy, hazelnut, and another I can't remember). The chix salad is very good, breakfast sandwiches have lots of options for cheese and protein, and they serve the best gluten free roll I've ever tried.
The only minor negative is the eggs for sandwiches are cooked in the microwave, they are tasty nonetheless.
They do a very brisk order online-n-pickup business and I actually love it. I wish I lived near this terrific local coffeehouse chain, but I was visiting the area for several weeks and visited the Annapolis and Crownsville locations multiple times.
We usually go to the location in Hunt Valley, but happened to be in Annapolis yesterday. I'm gluten intolerant, and I have zero issues with their cauliflower crust. This location was not very clean. The seats were full of crumbs, and there was food splattered on the wall in our booth. I didn't find the Margherita pizza as good....way too much cheese. And the Caesar salad dressing tasted odd...compared to what I'm used to. Out of caution, I didn't eat the salad because I know there is no gluten in the dressing at Hunt Valley. And this tasted and looked more like Thousand Island dressing. Our server was great. But I won't go back.
Great breakfast before taking the Jeep on the beach. I had the chicken and biscuit breakfast sandwich with the chorizo gravy. My wife had the gluten free cinnamon roll pancakes. Very delicious, great view and everyone was friendly. First time, great find!
Overall a great option if you're in the area. Very knowledgeable about what was gluten free. Lots of different meal options available. We sat outside which was nice given the weather. I got a steak and eggs bowl and my husband got the Rock fish.
the food is good, our Italian friend always wants to go here and says it's as authentic as you get around there. ive only been for lunch a handful of time but its usually not crowded. some vegetarian options, not many vegan or gluten free.
Don't come here if you have food allergies. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and was hoping this place would be safe since they have menu items marked gluten free and had heard things about them using separate fryers. When I came in, I made the waitress aware of my allergies and ordered a salad and the sampler platter. I wasn't sure which of the sides would be safe to eat with my entree, so I checked with the waitress and after some hesitation she agreed to check with the kitchen, came back and said the potato salad would be fine. Not too long into eating my meal, I started to have a reaction, and now, (next day) I am debilitated from whatever contamination was in the food. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.

We have recently rediscovered Noodles and Company and it has become a go-to for our family. Their variety of options to include vegan and gluten free, makes it a place everyone can find something.
Our server, Erin, made us feel like we were not a burden even though 5/6 of us were gluten free and three of us have celiac disease, typically rendering eating out very unsafe, if not impossible. Rafael, the chef on duty that day, came to talk to us and custom made pretty much all of our meals to ensure they were celiac safe. I want to shout from the rooftops so other celiacs will give Maggianos a try. It only took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, too. Custom made celiac safe Mac and cheese and he even made a custom sauce so that the chicken piccata would be safe for me (I have celiac and a corn sensitivity). I was so impressed and we all left feeling like it was a life changing experience to have such a nice restaurant to be able to go to when we want to go out to dinner. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Maggianos Annapolis! We will be back over and over!!!
My niece and nephew secured the first floor of this exquisite venue for my brother and sister-in-law's surprise 40th-anniversary celebration on June 1st. The catering was exceptional, featuring delectable hamburger and chicken sliders, vegetable egg rolls with a spicy honey glaze, shrimp dip, and outstanding gluten-free brownies. The service was exemplary, with attentive and friendly staff who catered to all guests, particularly our senior attendees. The bartenders were equally professional and skilled. The event far exceeded our expectations; it deserves a rating of ten 🌟, though the maximum allowed is five.
My husband and I had an amazing dining experience while visiting Annapolis. Both managers Mike and Nick were so friendly and accommodating. Our waitress Taylor provided excellent service and offered great suggestions from the menu. I loved that they had their own gluten free / vegan menu. There were so many choices and my meal was perfection. There is something for everyone. My husband loved his meal and made room for a delicious dessert. The service was fast , the atmosphere great and the staff was top notch . We are already talking about going back tomorrow. :)
Expensive, but very well-stocked with vegan and gluten-free options, which I appreciate. If you're disappointed with the gliten-free bread selection in the bakery area, walk around the corner into the aisle two rows in from the bakery - the other gluten-free breads are in a freezer there. :)

We have dined here twice. Both times we were highly disappointed. We wont be back.
Lets start with the good. The Brussels were amazing (although a little spicer the second round...yes we ordered two.) and the rock fish was a crowd pleaser. The kids burger was very large and we split it for our kids. The side fruit that came with it seemed fresh cut and had a great variety.
Now the bad...Gluten free menu online but not in restaurant. They had a few selections but they didn't seem polished with this and we were celebrating a birthday for someone with an allergy. We selected this place thinking it would be easy for them. My husband didn't like the chicken sandwich. It was thin and extra crispy. My beet and blue salad was large but not very good. The scallops were okay but very salty. Last visit our lamb lollipops were served cold but we overlooked it thinking it was because we ordered quite a bit.
We requested roof deck seating with our reservations and in the restaurant upon arriving and both times we were not successful. There was a party our most recent trip and I cant remember the reasoning for the first visit. This was a big bummer since it was a gorgeous night and there is outdoor dining right down the street. Our hostess informed us yesterday that you can't request location of seating in a reservation (phone and online). Surprising since we had but good knowledge to pass along.
Brown Mustache Coffee is a true hidden gem in Annapolis. Located inside Old Fox Books, this café offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a great cup of coffee and a good book.
The coffee is outstanding, with special options like the Lavender Latte and Honey Almond Latte, both perfectly balanced in flavor. They also offer baked goods, including gluten-free options, which is a nice touch.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Plus, the back patio is a charming spot to enjoy your coffee outdoors.
While the indoor space is a bit small and the food menu is somewhat limited, the quality of the coffee and the unique atmosphere more than make up for it.
I gotta give this place a review! The management team is absolutely phenomenal!! We’ve ordered takeaway from this location multiple times, and even though the first 2 times the orders did get somewhat messed up, the team did right by us, were very accommodating and fixed everything right away.
My husband also has a severe gluten allergy, and this is one of the only places in the Annapolis area we feel safe eating! When I call to place an order and ask for a manager, they are *so* incredibly kind and helpful even though our food has to be prepared in a very specific way. I know in food service it can be a pain to deal with customers who have such specific requests to make sure the food isn’t cross-contaminated, but they go above & beyond for us every time to make sure our food is prepared safely, correctly & deliciously! I can’t say enough great things about Holly, Sarah and the rest of the team. Great food, and even better people. Thank you guys so much!
And for anyone else that has celiac or a gluten allergy, knowing it can be nearly impossible to find safe & reliable places to eat - this is your spot!

We found this in the Find Me Gluten Free app when looking for somewhere to get lunch on a Sunday. The people were so nice and they really understand gluten free. I had a tuna salad sandwich on Gluten Free bread, which was delicious. The bread was tasty and the tuna was definitely homemade and delicious. They also have a separate case with gluten free dessert items.
Broadneck Grill is incredible! They catered my wedding in October and I cannot say enough positive things about them! They were very responsive and patient answering all of my many many questions! They were also easily able to accommodate all of the various dietary restrictions and allergies that my guests had (i.e. Gluten Free, lactose intolerant, shellfish, vegetarian, etc...). The food and service were fantastic, all my guests were raving about the fajitas and the crab balls! They are truly full service, they handled all the set up and break down, cleaned up throughout the night, delivered chairs & linens, and kept us on schedule! They were an absolute dream to work with and did a fantastic job
Just ordered take out for the first time. They were incredibly busy with only 1 employee. He was doing his best to fill all of his orders. I didn't order an acai bowl off the list, but instead chose to create my own, which was probably a little more tedious for him. Nevertheless, he took my order with patience and a smile. After ringing me up, he did show me the other orders that were in front of me and explained that he was doing the best he could to fill them all, but he had those to fill first and he was working alone. I understood and felt that he represented the company well by being so pleasant under stress, taking the time away from completing the orders he already had to take my order and then explained very clearly where my order stood in the line of production. As a former business owner, I was impressed. A few minutes later, his colleague showed up to help him through the rush and my order was completed fairly quickly. Despite having to wait, I would go again. The bowl was outstanding, the options for ingredients was suitable for vegan, gluten free and dairy free, which worked well for me. And the bowl was FILLED. WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Definitely a fan.
