I loved everything about this place!! As a diner with celiac disease there were several options and my server and the team were very intentional about handling my dietary restriction with care. The atmosphere was great! The decor was like a mini buffet for the eyes. The food was absolutely delicious too.
The food was fantastic. We ordered 2 different crepes but with buckwheat as one of us have celiacs. They took the allergy seriously which was much appreciated and the food was much better than we expected considering they were suing buckwheat as the alternative.
Will definitely be eating here again when we visit.
Loved that they are open a little late so when you’re in more of a breakfast for dinner mood they have options available.
Two stars bc my dairy/egg/nut allergy daughter was able to have ice cream here during her month-long stay in VT. No more than that, though, because B&J as a company haven't figured out yet that people with allergies often have more than one. Why make multiple dairy-free ice creams and add wheat into every one of them? It's beyond illogical. A simple dairy-free chocolate, or geez use GF oreos, and you are all set. Instead, there's nothing even at the VT locations for people allergic to two top allergens: wheat and dairy (notably, the two most common triggers of adult EoE as well, and frequently problematic for people with celiac also). Sorbet is not ice cream. Please don't use that as an excuse.
This place is heaven, for meat and non meat eaters! Im celiac and vegan and they took SUCH amazing care of us - M and Kaleb are so kind and wonderful, weve come back three times in ten days. We could not recommend more!!!
Delicious homemade pasta. Both my hard-to-please teens loved it. And my gluten free pasta was also delicious. Priced very reasonably and excellent service. Can’t wait to go back
My Husband and I rarely go out to eat, but this restaurant is worth every penny. Very knowledgeable servers who offer recommendations for every food allergy (I have Celiac- plenty of options). The food is incredible and comes in smaller shareable dishes.
Make sure you order the Tahini Sundae to top off your experience, you won’t regret it!!
BKK is absolutely wonderful. The drinks are incredible, and Jenny (one of the co-owners) is always coming up with new delicious drinks to try. The food is also incredible, and as someone with Celiac, the food options are excellent and Bobby (the other co-owner) knows exactly which dishes are safe for me to eat. Would recommend to anyone who would listen.
We ordered the gluten free pizza. I clearly stated that it should be moderately cooked. It was received overcooked: the bacon and bottom crust were blacken. Regardless of my specific request, the pizza should not have been served... it is a shame since the atmosphere is respectable
Fantastic Cuban food and it is such a unique dining experience for a place like Burlington. We made a reservation and it was a fairly busy Thursday night. The wait staff were knowledgeable and kind. It was a fairly large menu with lots of options. The water glasses were tiny. I would guess somewhere between 4 and 6 fluid ounces. We ordered the three chips app to start. Could tell it was house made and it was fresh and delicious but it was very small little pieces that made it harder to enjoy. We ordered the Creole shrimp with Maduros and tostones with yellow rice. The savory plantains and the sweet plantains are one of my favorite dishes and such a rare occasion allows for me to have them. These plantains did not disappoint and were cooked to perfection. The sauce on the shrimp was incredible and the rice, shrimp and sauce combo was a flavor paradise. We also got the vegan Cubano which was a little disappointing. Still we are very glad to see vegan options at all but it wasn't anything special. The menu said vegan Cubano sandwich but the default bread was not vegan (at least according to our waitress). To make it vegan you needed to ask for this other bread that they had that was also gluten free. So it was an extra 2 dollars to make the "vegan" sandwich actually vegan. Nonetheless the dinner experience was great as was the food and atomosphere. We will definitely return although it may be some time as the prices are on the higher end. If you enjoy Cuban food it is a place you should certainly try.
Great chill out and read or study place. The waffleberry coffee is just epic. Also! The gluten-free baked goods are so good. I usually have to opt out of food at cafe’s so I seriously appreciate the effort and quality.
Huge shout out to Mo and the rest of the staff at the Burlington Pokeworks! We stopped in for lunch and were greeted and treated with the best service! They took our need for gluten free seriously and accommodated all my daughter’s needs. The service was exceptional and the food delicious. We even popped back in before heading out and they let us use the restroom. Pokeworks Burlington is a must visit!!
Poutine, speciality Gose and some of their IPA’s were fantastic! Service great, it is odd that they charge you 25¢ for a taster, and don’t let you pick your own flights. Their pre-set flights are very expensive. No gluten free beer options.
Gender neutral bathrooms and plenty of parking.
Great place right on the water. Clam chowder was amazing. Had a nut and gluten allergy kid with us. Handled allergies very well. Would definitely go back there.
Great place for a healthy sit down breakfast or lunch!! Smoothies, scrambles, sandwiches, gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options. Surf vibes, but a warm welcome to all crowds here, as long as the vibes are good! There's some hidden gems across the restaurant. A customizable letter board by one table, open garage doors in summer, bright natural light at each table, a bar for quicker service or longer stays or an afternoon brew, chalkboard specials, a fish tank in the dining area, straws by request, and surfboards everywhere!
While visiting Burlington, my spouse spent more time at Black Cap than I, but he loved it as a place to sit and enjoy a leisurely coffee. We both got pastries one morning (his was gluten free, mine not) which were both ample and delicious. Great place.
Celiac friendly
