Seth and Maddy are the GREATEST! The whole kitchen staff made sure my friend with a gluten allergy could eat everything we were served and even gave her some gluten free crostinis to have with our appetizer. The food is amazing. The vibes are immaculate. Will return, 100000000/10 you must go here!!
One of my favorite coffee shops I’ve ever been to. You don’t want to miss this if you are in Macon! This is a quality spot with a cozy atmosphere and delicious, organic, all natural options made in house. I was very impressed and highly recommend visiting.
Drinks: Absolutely amazing. We got the chocolate moose latte and liquid gold latte. Perfectly flavored and not too sweet. And the drinks aren’t 80% ice like Starbucks 🤣.
Food: Delicious. We got the bacon egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches, as well as the gluten and dairy free blueberry muffin.
Service: Very friendly and fast!
Special highlights: Syrups and pastries are made in house. All natural, organic, non-GMO ingredients. So many gluten and dairy free options. All pastries are gluten free.
Thank you, Taste and See, for this wonderful experience!!
Decided to got for my birthday because I heard they do gluten free fries and burger buns. We were greeted as we walked in and told how to order. The man who took our order was friendly and super knowledgeable about gluten allergies.
The burger was delicious as well as the bun. The fries are all cooked in a dedicated fryer. The fries were yummy and the street corn fries were amazing!!
The staff was friendly and the place was super clean.
First time here and they ask you immediately if it’s your first time here and automatically start helping you with the menu and then the owner came out to see if he could help and he was so nice. I had the Tenmit Gluten Free Chicken bowl and miso soup. Absolutely delicious with large portions. My husband had Chizu cheese with chicken and he loved it. Really enjoyed everything!!!Mine was the first photo.
I don't leave many bad reviews for restaurants. But I think what happened tonight deserved an honest negative review.
I picked this restaurant bc of its good reviews and past great experiences at other locations. We had a big party of 10 and had to wait a while to be seated. No big deal.
We get seated and i requested the printed gluten free menu. We place our orders. I specifically spoke with our server and let him know that I had a gluten allergy. He assured me he would let the kitchen know. My food came out wrong the 1st time, with gluten containing ingredients clearly visable. I pulled our server aside and let him know and reminded him that I have an allergy (not a preference), he assures me it was a mistake and that my entire meal will be remade. The rest of the table was about 1/2 done with their meals when my remade meal came to the table.
Everything looked fine. I moved the food around some and did not see any gluten ingredients. Out server assured me that one of the managers had personally remade my food and I had nothing to worry about. I had ordered the Brussel spout salmon salad and added grilled shrimp. The salmon and shrimp were litterally cold, as if they had been in the refrigerator. At this point I was hungry and embarrassed,
so I was going to push thru and eat the salad. After about 5 or 6 bites I was moving the salad around and low and behold, MORE GLUTEN INGREDIENTS.
The manager did comp my food and my husband's (his burger was ordered medium rare and came out more than well done), but this should never have happened.
Our server was attentive and did a great job, but the kitchen clearly has cross contamination issues and I did not feel like my health or safety were a primary concern at all.
We did leave a nice tip for our sever bc this was clearly not his fault. I don't know if I would try this restaurant again, at least this location, as several members of our party has less than expected quality of their food.
Food was wonderful! There was a couple mistakes, mostly due to myself not reading, but the staff was quick to fix it and let us know about options. Everything was tasty and will definitely come back if ever in town again! If you’re gluten free, definitely recommend.
I commissioned a double chocolate cake with strawberry filling for a friends birthday, that needed to be gluten-free and dairy free, and they did a lovely job l! The cake was perfect, and everyone enjoyed it and couldn't tell that the cake was dairy and gluten-free. Will definitely be doing business again here. Thank you for everything! Last thing I put up a picture and I forgot to ask if she can write Happy Birthday to my friend, so we did it ourselves and it looks off, but I wanted to put that out there because she did a great job on the cake.
I was starving and found this place while passing through. I'm glad I did because the cauliflower crust and this pizza were delicious. Nothing beats an oven like this one and tastes.
The staff were super friendly and helpful, making sure my gluten allergy didn't have cross contamination.
They even had sherbet or ice cream fir dessert next to the bar area.
We sat outside in the sun with the umbrella.
The decor with the murals on the walls was a nice touch.
Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely
Would I return? Absolutely
My son loves Five Guys. He has developmental delays and is a childhood cancer survivor. He also has food allergies. He is learning to order and on his own. All the folks at this Five Guys are very helpful and understanding and work with him to get his order taken care of. (I do stand by in case I'm needed)
I'm thankful to have someplace my son can eat out at that is safely gluten-free for him.
I truly cannot recommend this place enough. We were driving through Macon on a loooong road trip and we were tired and hungry! We called to order our pizzas, because for some reason, it wouldnt let us order gluten free on the app! (Not a big deal though. Super easy to call and the person we talked to when we got there was so friendly!)
When we entered, everyone was so friendly and nice. They asked us about our trip. I have Celiac, and when I said I was the one who ordered the gluten free pizza, and I was told that my pizza would be unlike any gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. He said it won’t taste like cardboard. And it was FABULOUS! Probably the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had. For those concerned, they take gluten free and cross contamination incredibly seriously.
The rest of my family is not gluten free, but they also really enjoyed their meals. Additionally, out of nothing more than the kindness of their hearts, they gave us a few free ribs to try! (Which were also AMAZING! And our family knows good ribs).
Truly, I recommend that everyone come and try this place. I will certainly be back, even if I have to go out of my way. Absolutely delicious!
Had high hopes as last few times they followed there allergy guidelines. Unfortunately today the girl on the line wasn't even aware gluten is in the flour tortillas and she felt it wqs better to argue with me instead of follow the process for allergies. Therefore I went all day wo food.
Receipt to prove it’s not a lie & I am from Illinois. I have no reason to try and ruin a local business in Georgia. I am informing the public especially people with sensitivities. This is what reviews are for. Sorry it is not what you want to hear. I called the store and left my number after your rude and unprofessional response here.
My husband and I stopped in here yesterday for the first time. We were in town and I was looking for a place with good coffee and gluten free desserts. We found this place within walking distance from where we were staying. Upon walking in, the place itself is very cute and decorated very nicely. The place was dead minus one other customer sitting on their laptop. Two employees were working at the time. The two girls saw us come inside but took at least 5 minutes or more to even approach us. It was a little ridiculous. I asked if they knew if their gluten free chocolate torte was made with any kind of oats since I not only am Celiac but also allergic to oats. They went in the back and looked for a while and came out and said they couldn’t figure it out by looking at the box so they would call the owner to find out. Now right there I should have left because it should have been obvious to me that this so called bakery uses premade boxed items. But of course I didn’t even think of that at the time since I was so excited to maybe be eating a gluten free dessert. It is rare to find places that offer them. While the one called the owner I asked the other girl about their coffee syrups and if they were also gluten free. She did not know if any of them were so I asked to see the bottle. On the bottle it did say gluten free, if that was what was in fact inside the bottle. I ordered a large (which mind you is so so small) iced coffee with the toffee nut syrup and cream. My husband ordered a chocolate shake as well. They said the owner told them it did not contain any oats or anything other than eggs and chocolate and sugar. The coffee itself was
Absolutely disgusting. It tasted burned and super strong and more like a cold brew than an iced coffee. I could not taste hardly any of the toffee nut and the creamer was almost non-existent. My husband’s shake was as thin as water. They put whipped cream on top after he told them twice to not put any on the top. When he went to scrape it off the top a quarter of this watered down ice cream shake spilled all over the table. It was supposed to be chocolate but it was white with a splash of chocolate syrup on the side. Basically they gave him a cup of milk. Our total for these 3 items were over $24. The coffee was $7 and the shake was $5.50. So the store bought gf torte had to be at least $8-10 for the slice.
After all that we still consumed what we purchased because we were not going to waste our money. After about 45 minutes after eating there, I started to feel extremely sick to my stomach, broke out in a celiac rash and become violently ill throwing up and everything. It is a full 24 hours later and I have not recovered from it. Somehow I was glutened or given something I specifically said I could not have. We are super careful where we go to eat and this kind of thing does not happen. I am beyond upset because now it will take me at least a week for my stomach to recover from this.
If you intend to carry gluten free items in your restaurant or bakery, you should not only take every single precaution necessary to make sure that the items are not cross contaminated with other items. Also you should educate your employees on these items and on what can happen if something is not done correctly. I
Would Not recommend this place to anyone who is gluten sensitive, Celiac, or has food allergies. I also would Not recommend
This place to anyone based on the terrible taste of their coffee, their aloof employees, their lack of the ability to clean the bathroom when the store is clearly dead.
Save yourself the money and go to a chain coffee shop/bakery because you will get the same factory made desserts and not from scratch items and better tasting coffee.
Becareful if you have a gluten allergy website very misleading with gluten-free, they only offer 1 thing gluten free that's a personal size pizza, nothing else.
Update: After getting my receipt, i was charged a fee for being gluten free smh no wre does it state that you're charged an additional fee or that they only have 1 item.
Always a wonderful experience but please please please consider the fact that there are patrons with gluten issues. It would be so wonderful to have more options
Visited first time today….. got half rack (6 ribs)
And a cole slaw and another side. The ribs were phenomenal!!!!!! So was the slaw. I’m gluten free so I love finding things like this. I only have one complaint and it will keep me from going back as often as I would like to….. the cost…
It was $16 and change for 6 ribs , a tiny slaw and other tiny side. In my world, that’s significant. Love your place but won’t be able to visit often. Thx
Food was delicious and they took special care to make my son’s food separately as he has celiac disease and has to be very careful with cross contamination with gluten. There were lots of gluten free options for our family. A must eat for Greek food in Macon!
I have loved FOJ for more than a decade, so when I was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 years ago, I was relieved that I could still cobble together a meal at my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, my experiences have been horribly inconsistent— staff doesn't seem to agree on what's gluten free, the gluten free bun was replaced with a less-than-edible cauliflower sponge and their new gluten free menu markers are performative as there's no dedicated fryer. Recently, I found pasta in my fruit cup. It wasn't the first time this has happened, and luckily— this time—I noticed the pasta coil before eating the cup. When I pointed it out to the waiter and tried to explain that even small amounts of cross contamination can make someone with a gluten allergy horribly sick for days, he handled it with little grace. I think it's time to bow out here— a sad realization because it would be easy for FOJ to properly accommodate this dietary restriction. .
Delicious burritos & coffee! 100% recommend! Also love that they have gluten free options! We live in Savannah but if we lived here this would be our go to coffee shop!:)
I've just finished eating here and couldn't be more pleased. Our meals were delicious and the service was great. When I asked for a gluten free menu, the sweet woman who runs the place carefully explained every option I had and what was in it, as well as what I should avoid. I got the enchiladas she suggested and they were wonderful!! Thank you Tzango's!!! If I ever find myself back in Macon, I'll be sure to stop here.
