Amazing flavors!! Got 1/2 a dozen, my absolute FAVORITE the strawberry!!!
Gluten free!?? The texture reminds me of sticky rice more than a traditional donut. So very very delicious!!! I'll be back!!!
It's a smaller place, not a lot of seating - I think there is more outdoor seating than inside, perfect for summer!!
Service was friendly, and fast! I would highly recommend if you love pastries and are gluten free and or dairy free!!
You may need to park a block away, WORTH IT!!!
The food was delicious! We are from out of town, and we'd never been to Boxcar Pizza before. I am gluten free and vegan, so finding good pizza is tough. This was THE BEST vegan, gluten free pizza I've ever had! They also had Cheesy Garlic Bread that had a gluten free option. Simply amazing!
Where do I begin… Absolutely the best of the best of the best!!! I have never experienced better service anywhere than I do at this shop. Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. The owner, Melissa, is such a sweetheart — you can feel the love she puts into her handmade truffles. I love that everything is gluten free and vegan. I never have to worry about gifting to friends or clients. I have so many favorites; from the whiskey truffles to chocolate covered potato chips … can’t get enough. Oh —and the free full size samples!! I mean really!? The generosity there is beyond. Customer for life!!

When we were traveling from out of town we stopped here based on reviews and menu designations that they had gluten free and dairy free options as she has a gluten allergy and I am breastfeeding a baby with a dairy allergy. Unfortunately, they are not allergy friendly. I got a second slice of pizza after my first and watched them heat it… nearly touching a slice with cheese, and then used the same peel to take both out of the oven, definitely contaminating my slice, and then my mom got symptoms of gluten exposure after eating. If you do not have allergies and prefer to eat dairy free or gluten free this place is good enough, but it is NOT SAFE for people with allergies.
This was a great restaurant experience. We had a group of 8 and half of us showed up early and had some cocktails on their patio. Once we were all there we asked if they could seat 8 people and they were able put something together in just a few minutes. The host and waiter were very nice and helpful. The food was amazing. Most of my group got sandwiches or tortas and they had high praise. They regrettably don't have a gluten-free torta option 😞. They did have amazing vegetarian options.
I did get a bowl with carnitas and it was still super good. I will definitely eat here again.
So good! Their pepper bacon was delicious and their latte was perfect. They also have some decent gluten free options! And my friend, who's a bit indecisive about food, asked the waitress about her thoughts and she was able to help them make a decision that they really enjoyed! Highly, highly recommend.
One of the best gluten free sandwiches in Portland. I had a Teagan with turkey and added avocado and giardiniera. A little on the messy side, but who cares. The GF bread held together really well, and I think it was placed in the griddle with a little butter. Such a nice touch. A little pricey for what feels like a super casual spot ($20 after adding GF bread) but the flavor?? Worth it. 10/10 will be back again.

Church Bar is born again and this revival is well worth the wait! The NEW Church Bar was resurrected and opened on April 15, 2022
I am in awe of the new owners (Lauren and Anthony) for all their dedication to beautifying Church Bar!!
They have put heir heart and souls into completely updating the interior and rebranding Church.
Their attention to detail is glorious!
Their carefully created cocktail list is diverse and offers a little bit of something for everyone. They also have a wide spectrum of draft beers as well as seltzer and cider offerings. Their daily slushies are joyous and tasty!
Their food menu is great with a little of something for everyone! I LOVE everything on the menu and trust me, I’ve tried everything!! I love to start with the delectable deviled eggs and the tantalizing sacred nuts! Mercy me!
The ribletts and Shoestring Sweet Onions (V/GF) are two of my absolute favorite go-tos! The shoestring fries
are thinly sliced onions marinated in buttermilk,dredged in seasoned flour then fried, served with ranch dressing. Every time I eat them, I am certain that I am in culinary heaven.
The Fried Spaghetti Squash (Roasted spaghetti squash, herbs, mixed cheese, leeks served with smoked tomato sauce) is another favorite of mine!
They have plenty of gluten-free and vegan options available. They also have occasional food pop-up such as Trinidad and ??? Food. Check out their Instagram for PopUp info #churchbarpdx
Check out the ceiling- it’s unique representation of the Sistine Chapel!
And the bar top is a beautiful “river” of color. The new owners had it custom coded yes one more unique beautiful aspect of the newly reborn Church Bar!
The “confessional” is a photo booth. We’ve made so many fun memories in the “confessional”
Church has a huge array DJ’s that provide lively dancing music every night.
They have extended their hours and hours constantly reinventing themselves. They’ve added trivia on Wednesday nights and they have a fairly regular stream of pop up food options.
Follow them on social media for updates, special events, pop-up info
The revival of Church Bar is awe-inspiring! Huge shout out to all the friends, family and customers that continue to support Church Bar - especially during this seemingly never ending pandemic purgatory.
I beseech you to join me in helping making Church Bar hugely successful.
I have faith that their efforts will payoff in dividends and they will have faithful followers.
Eat + Drink + Repent
Time to repent!
Father forgive me for I may have drinking on a Thursday!

Truly delightful! Everything we ordered was beautifully cooked and so flavorful. I would highly recommend the espresso with sweetened condensed milk - such a tasty treat! Also had some good gluten free options.
Delicious, fresh and great quality food and reasonable prices. I had the Tropicale salad with added steak pieces and it was amazing! I’m not gluten sensitive, but lots of options for those who are. Highly recommend and will definitely go back to try the other stuff. Thank you 😋
We went for coffee at Seven Virtues the other day. The coffee was delicious. Being GF and having a celiac in the family I was delighted to find out that all their house made treats were GF. The berry bar was amazing! Better than anything I’ve gotten at GEM.
They do offer regular and GF bagels. The cashier was very knowledgeable and helpful about cross contamination with gluten. I think they should get a second toaster for GF bagels.
I’m excited to bring along my GF/celiac family members soon.
We've been ordering from Friendship Kitchen for several years. Their food and their service are always fantastic. Tonight we had the vegan phô, the shrimp crêpe and the tofu salad rolls. All were fantastic. The shrimp crêpes are really different, have an essence of coconut, and are very tasty (and our gluten-free). The vegan phô is chock full of vegetables and the broth is very flavorful. The bean sprouts, Thai basil and cilantro served with it were plentiful. We got this order for two people, and we have enough leftover for another meal.

If you want a burger and fries, come here!! Great atmosphere in food court and pinball/brewery steps away. I was hesitant if I should also get fries and the guy taking orders (Z? I believe) said I shouldn’t miss out, and I’m happy I took his advice! Crispy crinkly cut fries and gluten free buns!! Fresh onions and crunchy pickles. Thanks MidCity, def better than mids!! #Primo
To call this place a hidden gem is so cliche, but it is truly hidden, and truly a gem, so what else can I say?My Korean friend said it tasted like her mom's cooking, so she felt it was very authentic, and everything I had was delicious. They also bent over backwards to accommodate my vegan, gluten-free diet. Excellent food, great service, and a lovely ambience with a small indoor seating area opening to an outdoor courtyard combine to make this a lucky find. If you can find it and get in, and you enjoy Korean food, you'll be happy you made the effort.
The BEST Matcha I have ever had in my life, a gluten free snack that I will happily indulge in again, and a very welcoming barrista! My workmate got the "huffalump" a coffee that tastes both mature and yet magical. THIS is now my favorite coffee shop in town!!
After a year of planning, my wife and I finally snagged an evening to visit this place for a spontaneous date night, and it did not disappoint! We arrived just before the dinner rush, so we barely had to wait, but I’d definitely suggest making a reservation just to be on the safe side.
The vibe was relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect backdrop for a cozy dinner. Our server was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and just a delight to chat with. One of the highlights for us was watching our dishes being prepared right in front of us; it added an intimate touch to the whole experience.
When my margarita pizza arrived, I was blown away. Every bite was a burst of flavor—the dough was perfect, the sauce vibrant, and the cheese wonderfully fresh. To top it all off, I enjoyed a refreshing can of lemonata, which was the cherry on top of a wonderful evening.
What was particularly great is that my wife, who has to be mindful of gluten, found the menu incredibly accommodating. She loved her dish as well! Overall, it was a memorable night filled with delectable food and warm ambience. We can't wait to return!
All plates were not only delicious but very pretty on the plate.
Server was very nolagable about the ingredients and helped me find some gluten free alternatives that were also delicious.
got the sandwich I was hoping for, thanks! there was a little bit of accidental onion on the no onion sandwich (I'm somewhat allergic to onion but didn't mention that, just said no onion) but they did wipe down the counter before making the gluten free sandwich to minimize crossover and I appreciate that. the atmosphere could have been more welcoming, there are big signs saying the bathrooms are only for paying customers, and as a disabled person it's always disappointing to see bathrooms that could be accessible to people that need them closed or put behind a paywall like that. no masks on anyone, I hardly expect it these days the way people act but it's still always disappointing
Always great beer, but especially nice during the pandemic due to the large open areas and ample outdoor seating. There are even heaters for the colder days. Staff was very friendly. No gluten free burger buns if that is something your into.
