Great lunch for two kids and two adults (two with Celiac). Almost entirely GF menu with GF buns and bread available. Mac n cheese, fries and salads were all great!

My celiac daughter and I always eat here at least once each visit to the city. Never had any issues issue with symptoms and she is fairly sensitive to gluten. She always gets chicken fingers and fries while I’ve enjoyed several different sandwiches/burgers. Highly recommend as a quick stop restaurant
This is a 100% GF bakery and coffee shop. I was so excited to get a cinnamon roll! I wish I had gotten a blueberry muffin to go! Next time for sure! They also have a restaurant down the street! They only take cash or AMEX so be prepared.
My first place to eat in NYC and my first time in a 100% GF restaurant. everything was so good, I got the Açaí bowl and the Classic Cheese Bread whilst my Grandmother got the Panini, she can eat gluten but said it was the best bread she’d ever had! I’d highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for bread you can chew!
I don’t say this lightly: Friedmans’ fish and chips might be the best I’ve ever had. Golden, crisp, and gluten-free without sacrificing a single ounce of flavor. The batter was perfectly light and crunchy, the fish flaky and fresh—like it dove out of the ocean and straight into the fryer with purpose. The fries? Thick-cut, hot, and seasoned just right. It’s rare to find a gluten-free dish that doesn’t feel gluten-free, but this one absolutely nailed it. I wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10, no notes.
Great options for vegan brunch. Although the vegan BLT was unexpectedly sweet, the quality of the food was excellent.i would return to try another vegan dish. Recommended for groups with various dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, nut free, etc). Service was great!
we ordered coffee, bagels and cinnamon buns. The coffee was lukewarm. we asked the worker if it was possible to warm it up a little bit, and he gave us the dirtiest look and attitude ever. He did offer to remake it but made it sound like it was like a huge inconvenience (I refused). The bagels were average at best. the cinnamon buns were very dense. Overall a bad experience.
Classic New York style diner with all the usual breakfast options. Massive portions, you would need to be hungry to finish your meal! Full GF menu, our Coeliac daughter had waffles and they were delicious, no ‘tummy’ after effects! The only slight issue we had was that the server brought all 4 plates together stacked up along his arm meaning a plate with my toast was sitting on top of my daughters GF plate, increasing the chances of cross contamination. I’d have preferred if the GF food were brought out separately. Otherwise, all was good, very friendly staff, enjoyable breakfast.
This place is one of the best in New York. Gluten free. Extensive menu. Superbly delicious … whether breakfast or sushi or dinner or fried chicken. They really do it great. DoorDash or dine in … I’M in. You should be too. Jay and Bailey are fabulous. Give them a raise. They remember my name and order every time. Great job yall. Keep it up.
Really enjoyed the bandeja paisa here! As a celiac it’s nice to have the gluten free guarantee even for foods I know don’t typically have gluten. Service is great and friendly. Feels like to hear Colombian Spanish, made me feel right at home.

Friendly service, menu was family friendly- gluten free menu was available- waitstaff asked about allergens. Lots of seating, wasn’t busy when we went so service was quick.
What a sweet bakery; the owner and workers were very kind and accommodating. Dedicated gluten free bakeries are tough to find, but this one is awesome!
I thought the breakfast sandwich was great, they definitely use fresh ingredients. The wife got an avocado toast and the egg was a bit undercooked, over easy is ok but the white wasn’t cooked and when broken it leaked a clearish liquid. They do have an assortment of gluten free baked goods but if you have celiac please note they are cross contaminated which they lady behind the counter told us.
the baked goods are so tasty! my most recent visit here was to get a gluten free cupcake for my friend for my birthday party. I was shocked to see how many gluten free options there were to chose from! she LOVED the gf carrot cake!!
According to the staff, the GF bagels are made with GF ingredients. However they warned me that they are rolled out and cooked on the same equipment as they make regular bagels. They have also changed the name to "low gluten" bagels.
Liberty Island's Undiscovered Treasure: Statue of Liberty Crown Café The **Crown Café** on Liberty Island is an excellent option if you're visiting the Statue of Liberty and want to find a terrific place to eat.
This café provides a nice dining experience with a range of delectable alternatives, and it is conveniently positioned close to one of the most famous monuments in the world.
The efficiency of the café is the first notable feature. I anticipated long lines because of the large number of guests, but the service was pleasantly prompt and efficient. In addition to making sure everything was stocked and clean, the staff was kind and accommodating.
For a tourist destination, the culinary choices is impressive. There is something for everyone, including hot dinners, traditional American favorites, and fresh salads and sandwiches.
Their **Statue of Liberty Burger** was delicious, juicy, and cooked to perfection when I tried it. They had generous portion sizes and delicious fries.
The yogurt parfaits and fresh fruit cups looked fantastic for a lighter choice. Additionally, they provide gluten-free and vegetarian options, which is advantageous.
The Crown Café's outside seating is among its nicest features. It's a special experience to eat while taking in views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. After all the sightseeing, it's a tranquil respite.
The food is of higher quality than you would find at a normal tourist café, and the prices are fair given the location. Crown Café is worth a visit whether you're in the mood for a full meal, a coffee break, or a quick snack.
The experience of visiting Liberty Island is enhanced by this café. It's a must-see when touring the Statue of Liberty because of the excellent cuisine, first-rate service, and incomparable location!

Excellent gluten free treats! The lady working was very friendly and informative. It was a little pricey, but you can tell the ingredients are quality.
This place was amazing! They have gluten free chicken tenders and fries! If you are gluten free you will love these tenders and fries, they were amazing! I loved their honey mustard dipping sauce and their signature sauce was great as well. The staff was super helpful and even helped me find their restaurant over the phone because the geolocation was off when I was using walking directions.
Great place for an all day breakfast and more. The vibes are super old school Newyorker style. Good coffee! And GLUTEN FREE options. I definitely recommend it.
Staff is wonderful and the environment is always tidy and clean. Their Pasta Bolo has got to be one of my favorite dishes - gluten-free, diary-free guilt-free, all without feeling like I’m sacrificing anything.
This cafe is great. It has clearly labeled vegan and gluten free items. We got the Not Your Every Day Nachos and the Vegan Poke Bowl. Both were yummy and the house made nacho cheese was especially good. They also had house nut milk for their Chai Latte.
I had to get the lemon poppy seed muffin on the way out which was one of the most moist gluten free baked goods I have had.
You order at the counter and they give you a number to bring to your table so you can choose where to sit. They have free Wi-Fi if you want to bring your laptop and work.
The bathrooms are clean which is always a plus. There's one single on the first floor as well as gender neutral stalls in the basement.
Excellent spot so close to Bryant Park, we went because my mom is both gluten and dairy free and it was so nice being able to pick anything on the menu. We got the veggie bolognese pasta and the curry rice dish. The veggie balls were also phenomenal! Everything was fantastic. The only negative was their iced black tea tasted like really bad city water. The iced tea/lemonade mix was... better. Overall, definitely go for the food and get a glass of wine with it 😉
Pleasantly surprised
I love a good burger, but I have to have a gluten-free bun, and prefer sweet potato fries.
This place delivered.
Everything was fresh, gluten-free bun, toasted, sweet potato fries tasted fresh
10 out of 10 would recommend
Music was slightly loud, but I’d still come back
The gluten free bagel was insanely good!!!! Best gluten free bagel in NYC hands down. I had to do a double take and make sure I was indeed eating a gluten free bagel - it tasted thag good! The ladies are very friendly and created a lovely atmosphere.
Pregnancy Craving Fulfilled — GF Bagel Heaven!
I came in with a very specific pregnancy craving—a gluten-free everything bagel with egg, cheese, and pastrami—and they nailed it. It’s SO hard to find GF bagels, let alone ones this delicious.
They also had a great variety of gluten-free muffins, cookies, and snacks, which was such a pleasant surprise. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and their iced coffee hit the spot too.
