We went last week after our original food spot let us down. We took a gamble because it looked like a nice place to eat and had an awesome gluten free menu!! the food was awesome and the large plates portions were so big i’m still eating the leftovers 😋
I'm going out on a limb here, best gluten free pizza I have ever had. The crust was delicious. We bought a few regular and one GF to go and everyone loved them. Thank you!
I ordered a vegetarian lasagna from Oryana to take to a gathering of friends. I am a 40+ year vegetarian. The lasagna (also gluten free - made with squash instead of noodles) was the best I have ever had. Absolutely delicious flavors, texture and appearance. The entire experience was so pleasant and easy with the kind chef and employees. Highly recommend!
The meal was amazing! The drinks were amazing! And our server, Brandylynn was amazing! She created a meal for our picky teenager and had a bright fun vibe! Also tons of great Gluten Free options. 10/10!
Adrian was our waitress and she was spectacular! I have celiac disease and it is sometimes hard to eat at restaurants. I’m impressed with Adrian’s knowledge of what I could and couldn’t eat and how to modify plates so I could eat them. She even brought me out my own chips and salsa so I didn’t have to dip in the gluten chips salsa that my friends were using.
Super appreciate a knowledgeable waitress that is kind and helpful.
So MANY Gluten Free options and waitress was so knowledgeable about keeping it GF and told kitchen about my Celiac and they followed all protocols. We will definitely be back
Great atmosphere, staff, and food! I recently went with a friend to try out their happy hour deals and it was such a lovely experience. As a local, it is so nice to have a great happy hour spot! For dinner, we both got the Bolognese dish and I got mine with gluten free pasta - the flavor and meal was outstanding! Thank you for having gluten free options on your menu!!
Loved the pizza here as it’s thin style. I had one of my own creation and my fiancé had a gluten free with prosciutto, pear, and brie. Delicious. Gotta try different pizzas next time. Was great.
Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient to explain their Gluten Free bread, and homemade chips, etc for me. I'm actually asymptomatic celiac, but always state I have a "severe gluten allergy" when asking for assistance. They actually asked me when ordering/checking out, "preference or celiac?" So, I didn't ask for their safety procedures.
I had a turkey Reuben with Cole slaw on it (substituting the Swiss for Havarti). It was fantastic! The meat is thinly sliced, and I prefer thicker slices, but it was so flavorful. They had 6" cherry or apple pies (in boxes), as well as some brownies and stuff. The cherry was delicious! Tart cherries, with a lovely crumble on top. It has roasted almonds in the crumble, and possibly slightly under the topping. Worth the stop!!! We were passing through town during their annual cherry festival.
Me and my husband made a reservation here for our wedding anniversary. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This restaurant deserves all 5 stars more than any other restaurant I’ve ever been to. The waiter was very knowledgeable about gluten free and all of their options. He was very knowledgeable about the daily specials. He came and checked on us a perfect amount of times which is very hard to find in todays restaurant world. All the waitstaff were extremely patient the whole night. The atmosphere was relaxing and set off an amazing vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation for this place as they are always busy. The food was the best food me and my husband both had our whole trip. Our drinks were made perfectly and dessert was amazing. This restaurant deserves a pat on the back for their amazingness. If me and my husband are ever back in town again we will definitely be coming back.
We are gluten-free, so we decided to try this place. Food was flavorful and they gave you a good amount. I really enjoyed the rice bowl, and the other two ppl enjoyed their tacos. The reason I am giving a 3 stars...we decided to order 2 pitchers of margaritas. We should have asked how much. We were sticker shocked to find out we got charged $92. If they weren't filled to the top with ice (also with so much ice, what a pain to pour)....and we got more than 4 drinks per pitcher, we may not have had an issue.
This place is AMAZING! The ingredients, the instant care and caution about my celiac allergy and the vibe! The main girl Liberty was SO sweet when I forgot to mention gf granola and made me a new bowl while gifting me the other one for free to give to a friend. This place is chill and open. I would 1000% recommend this to anyone, but especially if you have celiac! My girlfriend and I will be coming back weekly! Thank you guys!
Great service and atmosphere! The view was beautiful. Highly recommend joining the waitlist online- our wait was 80 min. on a Sunday evening. We joined the waitlist before we left our hotel and then spent some time at the outdoor bar listening to live music while we waited for our table which was wonderful. The food was good and it was nice to have gluten free options for my dietary needs. We would go back.
My wife had gotten the chicken there before but was just told the last time that it can have cross contact. (She has to eat gluten free) everything else was great! Our the order was messed up, but then was made right.
Don't forget you can get ice cream to accompany whatever pie you like. Sooo worth it!!! Of course the pies are absolutely delicious! Lesser-known is that they have a lot of gluten-free options and their sandwiches and soups are also very good.
The best atmosphere, both the chef and host are incredibly charming and sweet to talk to. They have a a TON of celiac-safe options, including of things that I usually can't get (crab stick, miso, etc).
I highly recommend rolling up when you have plenty of time to sit at the bar and chat. you won't regret it!
The food is fine but every single time we go through the drive thru something is wrong with our order. Missing items. Wrong sandwich, cheese stuck to the container (we order gluten buns for my husband). Tonight was no different. Missing a Cole slaw and my burger had the wrong toppings.
Prices were good, food and drinks were delicious and the portions were pretty substantial! My friend is gluten sensitive so we were very happy they had the GF Buckwheat crepes as an option.
It was easy to take our leftovers to go in the paper sleeve.
The patio seating area was so cute.
Let me start by saying my server was phenomenal! I have celiac disease and she was so helpful to me. I was there with a large group of people. My only regret was that food arrived so staggered that people were completely done with their meal before others got served. My food was delicious. New York Strip served exactly as ordered.
We used Peace, Love & Little Donuts for our wedding reception and are so happy we did! All of our guests raved about the flavors and the ability to grab donuts whenever they wanted throughout the evening. We were even able to do some gluten-free donuts which was a must for my wife with gluten intolerance. All the donuts were beautifully decorated, delivered safely, and displayed on various platters. We highly recommend!
MUST TRY! We were visiting Traverse from Chicago and decided to stop in. Being gluten free it’s hard to find accommodating and good spots but this place is both. Our server was super kind and had my half rack of ribs remade when we forgot to let them know bread couldn’t be on the plate. They even offered to make our banana pudding dessert gluten free. Amazing food, people and atmosphere.
Awesome vegan food and great staff. The kitchen is very accommodating to vegan and gluten-free. The curry is my favorite and there are so many options.
A group of 12 of us walked in to Firefly restaurant on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner, and even though we didn’t have a reservation, they sat us within 5 minutes of arriving.
The service there was great, and they were very accommodating and helpful when I asked about gluten free options. While they do not have a gluten free menu, they had several meals that could be prepared gluten free, which I appreciated.
Overall it was a nice meal for everyone, the atmosphere was fun, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend!

This is one amazing Café. Their sandwiches are creative and delicious. Staff are helpful and friendly. Hard decisions to make 😊. Plenty of Gluten-free choices too.
Decided to try....sat at bar with Seth! Holy wow, his drinks are amazing! He was fun! We enjoyed him!
The food, AWESOME!
I am gluten-free and enjoyed the Chicken Piccata, with the Antipasta salad.
Super yummy! Glad we came in! Definitely worth the $!
Very popular and busy. Surpringly only waited less than 1/2 hr with at least 50 people ahead of us. Lots of parking. Lots of flavors. Very fresh and creamy. Choices for lactose and gluten intolerant. Indoor and outdoor sitting.
I love this location! Having celiac doesn’t allow me to eat out most places but I have never had an issue at this location. They always go in the back and get new utensils, clean the grill, and change gloves. They are very friendly and always complete our order quickly and with accuracy.
Go for the beer, not the food. I wanted to like this place more than I did. Being gluten intolerant I'm always on the lookout for good gf resturaunts. Their menu sounds great and the fact they also brew gf beer made it a no brainer to try.
The pros:
Nice atmosphere.
Great gf beer
The cons:
Food is lackluster. They try, the menu is informed, inventive, and locally sourced, but the food was on the bland side, tortilla chips overcooked, the smoked fish dip was overly fishy or old, pecorrino fries didn't taste like pecorrino, caramelized onions on a burger were barely cooked and no where near caramelized.
We did eat early in the day, perhaps before the regular chef came in. We might try the food again, but likely we'll eat elsewhere and just go back for a great gf beer.
