This restaurant is fantastic. There are endless options for gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and keto diets. We were visiting Ohio for a short period and came for dinner and ended up returning a different day for brunch. The lattes here are made perfect. Highly recommend the chicken wings and quesabirra tacos. If we ever make it back to Cleveland we will definitely be coming back here. The ambiance is awesome. Our server, Serena, was knowledgeable, attentive, and welcoming; she made our visit perfect.

Angelo cooked me a gluten free pizza. He offered wonderful hospitality as he cooked me a hand made gluten free pizza. The crust was buttery and fluffy and served very warm upon pick up.
Darryl was the best waiter I have had in a long time. We had a group of 17 people and he treated us all kindly and in a timely manner. One person was gluten free and another had food allergies and he was patient and took the time to get their order right. This server deserved recognition and made me want to come back and request just him.
Went here after finding out one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland was closed. Was really looking forward to trying this place as we always go up to cleveland and pass this place. The only good thing about this place was the view from the table. Food was pricey, and the menu was hard to read if you didn't know Spanish. They do offer gluten-free and vegan options. The food was not as good as I was hoping. The meat in the tacos was really weird and tasted dried. One of the people I was with ordered the burrito which had bison shoulder in the burrito and said the meat was veiny. Our drinks were filled up once right before we left due to our waitor not wanting to come back to our table. The booth we were sat in had a big tear and was wondering how that was possible when the food was so overpriced. The plates that had our food was on was chipped in areas. Super disappointed! Will not be back!
Very cute place, I would love to hang out there but I was just moving through and grabbed a cinnamon sugar cookie that happened to be gluten free. If they make a cookie that dope, I figure I need to come back for some coffee!! It was THAT good! Thanks y’all ❤️❤️🙏
A cute taco place that has a build your own style of taco menu. This was my second time visiting while in Cleveland. I better understood what to order. I personally had a shrimp taco and the steak taco and a basic ground sirloin beef taco. Being gluten free I selected the gluten free corn hard shells. They were some of the best I've had. Both taco combinations I created were good. The shrimp I wish I would have gotten 2 of instead of the ground sirloin. I wasn't a huge fan of the meat. I am also very picky about my ground beef and it was not for me. I added the cilantro lime aoli cream and quesa fresca cheese to my shrimp taco. My only complaint would be, they barely put any cheese on it. I almost thought my tacos didn't have any on them. The steak was slightly tough but not bad. I probably wouldn't get it again. I'd definitely order the shrimp combo again and try another combination. They offer a lot of variety in meats and toppings for the taco. You can also get them in a bowl. I didn't order one but their margarita flights looked yummy. Definitely recommend this place if you are in downtown Cleveland.
My sister order the chips and queso dip and I tried the queso and it was good.

We went to cheese school at Astoria! The cheese monger was sooo knowledgeable and energetic. The service was great. They accommodated my gluten free request. A very fun and delicious evening!
Travel from sandusky to get these tacos on the regular. Amazing tacos and the staff has always been super welcoming. My husband has celiac disease and has never had a reaction as well.
I love Metropolitan Coffee! Every time I have been here, the staff is always very kind and welcoming. They have great coffee and different housemade flavors. Also, they have wonderful and delicious food and dessert selections. (Good options also if you are gluten free!) Love it here, and have always felt very safe here even when I am picking up a coffee here by myself.
Visited Der Braumeister with my girlfriend to celebrate my birthday - it was a great experience! She has a gluten allergy, and we were super excited to see how many options she had on both the expansive food and drink menus. Our dinners were delicious and our server Angie was wonderful.
All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.
I love this place! The food here is extremely healthy and very accommodating to my dietary restrictions including gluten and dairy. The staff is so welcoming and nice and made the entire experience so much better. 10/10 would come back.
In from out of town (Detroit) and the ambiance was a perfect combination of relaxed, classy and energetic. The food was delicious and offered tasty Gluten-free pasta options! Kayla, our server, was very friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel welcome!
To top it off, the music and DJ was great! Will definitely come back!
Bonus…Woman Owned Business!
What a special place! We came for a medical visit and left with full bellies and happy hearts. Amazing service, above and beyond kindness and EPIC food! Gluten free magic too!
I absolutely LOVE it here. My husband and I just recently discovered 27 Club after picking up the latest copy of Scene Magazine. Due to medical conditions, I frustratingly have to avoid both gluten and dairy. This limits my options at most restaurants & cafes. When I saw the menu here, I was stunned. We got a Margherita pizza with vegan cheese and gluten free crust…it was the best I’ve ever had! My husband, who does NOT have dietary restrictions, said he couldn’t even tell that it was gluten free or dairy free. The drinks are gorgeous. I highly recommend the pink milk latte with oat milk! Make sure you pick up some merch and do not miss the vegan + gluten free desserts that are on the counter, off to the side. We tried the donuts and not only were they tasty, but they weren’t too heavy. I left feeling great. This is a must-visit for the sensitive stomach girlies! Parking is surprisingly decent for the location. Atmosphere is social media worthy and very on brand for MGK. Already looking forward to going back.
Delicious sandwich! Five stars for the bravocado alone. Extra points for having gluten free options. I wouldn’t be able to eat here otherwise. My everlasting gaze smoothie with coffee, oat mylk, banana and other yummy ingredients was the perfect dessert. I ordered online and my food was ready well before the estimated time. I was five minutes away. When I walked in, my food was ready to go. There were still almost ten minutes left on the clock.
Everything here was exceptional!
The food , the service, and the atmosphere. The kitchen and staff went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy and even prepared GF bread to accompany my salad. Definitely recommend and hope to return soon
A quick and healthy meal with great service! I’m gluten free so it’s hard to find fast places with my dietary restrictions. I love how Balance is always adding new and exciting menu items.
We have had good coffee and scones and gluten free muffins here. We appreciate the local shop. We wish we could do self serve cream but otherwise it’s fabulous here.
Iced Vanilla Latte was great! Friendly staff. They were understaffed and felt faster than starbucks when busy. Also, they have some gluten free baked goods from philomena.
An absolute gem in Cleveland and my husband’s and my new favorite spot!
The restaurant was so accommodating to our party of four, and the decor and ambiance were incredible (even down to the details of the bathroom). We tried the Saz-Who drink, Caesar tartare, JoJos, pimento cheese, burger box, and the fried ice cream Almond Joy dessert (so delicious!).
As someone with a less adventurous palate, I was a little reluctant at first, but everything was AMAZING. We even plan to come back with my MIL who is gluten-free because they seem accommodating to GF folks. I love that everything is locally sourced—it’s such a cool touch.
Our server, Zaq (sp?), was incredibly personable, attentive, and really knowledgeable about the menu. You can tell by his enthusiasm that he had a passion for the place, that is energy you don't usually see when you go out to dinner.
You can tell that so much heart and soul has been put into this place, and we’re so lucky to have it here in our city.
I have several good allergies, including wheat and daily and many burger joints use a wheat or gluten filler. Not here. Great burger, able to substitute buns for lettuce. And the spicy pickle salad was good AF.
This place awesome. Love the manager Jared and Danielle. Yummy food, good music, nice chefs, nice vibe!!!! Love that there's gluten-free options too! Staff is so nice - I cant wait tor return.
This place is very nice. Very accommodating and knowledgeable of gluten free. The manager even made sure the remade my breakfast sandwich when they realized it was cut with the wrong knife. I would recommend to anyone for breakfast or brunch.
So much thought has gone into every item in this cafe - no seed oils, all organic produce, clean water / reverse osmosis water and a variety of drinks I still need to try (which are also creative). There are not many places that are as organic/clean and free of additives.
Finding this place by a simple google was really nice! plant - based milks (cashew and oat) made from scratch (house nut milk made with reverse osmosis water). I tried the following:
- Gluten-free bagels that were soft and fluffy and filling (and not starchy like most GF breads)
- GF muffins (tried the banana oat and it was delicious, not overly banana or sweet)
- Iced matcha with cashew milk and fresh muddled organic blueberries (pictured)
I love exploring organic/healthy places that I would not otherwise get to try when traveling for appointments - finding this gem a few minutes away from downtown Cleveland was a nice end to lots of stress and planning. I can't wait to go back and try more items like coffee!

We came to Cleveland for a show at playhouse square. This place was within walking distance and had gluten free pizza! It is bar far one of the best gluten free pizzas we have ever had!! so good.
My boyfriend and I are visiting from upstate New York for the ACDC concert and we decided to stay in downtown Cleveland. We were looking for somewhere to eat in a safer location, and we stumbled upon La Dolce Vita when looking for places to eat with italian options without gluten. When we arrived we were promptly seated. We were then given pasta salad and bread immediately as we sat. I ordered the gnocchi and my boyfriend got gluten free pasta with pesto. Both were so amazing and served so quickly. Unexpectedly after our meal, our server gave us a plate of fruit with whipped ricotta. So delicious! Earlier in the day both of us were bummed with the location of where we were staying, and I can confidently say that the experience at La Dolce Vita and Little Italy was a high point for our trip. Thank you to the whole team here, everyone we encountered did a phenomenal job and we could not be more pleased with our dining experience.
Cute, clean coffee shop with a small selection of food and baked goods. Gluten-free and vegan options are available. There's a wall of small/medium plants for sale with care instructions all lined up at the back. Passed the vibe check.
I had lunch at Build The Pho yesterday and, as someone with celiac disease, I often feel anxious about dining out. However, I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff were knowledgeable about which foods and sauces to avoid, and they took my dietary needs seriously. I had the shrimp rolls, which were fresh and delicious, and they provided a gluten-free sauce that I really enjoyed. I left feeling satiated and healthy. Thank you, Build The Pho!
If you like chipotle this place is 100000 times better. Delicious Afro Caribbean food. Gluten free. Tasty. Amazing. Would eat this everyday if I could.
This place was very good! I ordered a burrito bowl which was extremely filling! I was able to get 3 meals out of it. They had many options to choose from to fill up the bowl which was nice. Much more than Chiptole! It tasted very fresh and good! It was also gluten free which was very nice! I would definitely stop by here again in the future!
Fantastic and quick service. Owner/chef very engaged and helpful regarding gluten free options. Asparagus salad special was perfect. Fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend for vegetarian and gluten free options.
What a wonderful morning treat!!! Visited the downtown location with my daughters and it was a great treat! I got the pumpkin pie latte - hot and it was Delicious. and a ham and cheese croissant (tip: get it warmed up - yummmm)!
They had so many treats - all baked fresh and such an extensive menu, that if you can't find something good, you're just not looking! I asked about Gluten Free foods and the manager (I think) listed off a ton of items!!!
Visited while attending a major comedian! WoW how packed they were, but service was above and beyond. I have celiac disease and was well acomadated with the chefs expertise. Food was so delicious and Gluten Free! Thanks again for a amazing experience and delicious food.
Celiac friendly
