Had taken my granddaughter here after reading the owner has Celiac Food was good - had to ask for Gluten free menu disappointed that the French fries are not gluten free. Not much of a selection for a gluten free teenager

We had a September 2023 wedding at the Publick House and it was absolutely wonderful! Our initial plan was to host the ceremony outside but it was absolutely down-pouring the day of the wedding. Dennis, our day-of coordinator, kept everything on track and prepared us for the likely change of venue to indoors. The food was delicious. My husband has a gluten allergy and the staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating to his dietary needs. One note about the cake, it was a little difficult to find a design we liked as many of the photos provided of cakes were from weddings hosted well over 8+ years ago and so the designs reflected that style. We eventually found a designed we like with a bit of trial and error. It turned out delicious!

It caught my eye because of the Pride flag proudly displayed outside. Thanks for that. You walk in and are greeted by a ton of options of sweet treats and friendly staff. We were served by Katelyn who was attentive and knowledgeable of all the desserts. This was important because I have a gluten allergy. I was so pleased to discover a GF, KETO option. This is hard to find in terms of baked goods not in a freezer section. I was informed that the typically carry 2-3 items on rotation so there’s usually something new on the menu if you visit often. They also have diabetic friendly and vegan items. They have a few places for seating inside and plenty of parking. The prices are appropriate for what you’re getting, especially given the specific ingredients required for specialty baked goods. People of all ages would enjoy this shop. Stop in next time you’re in Sturbridge.

We went in to get some drinks after lunch and it’s a quite cozy area because it gives Café/brewery vibes. I got their golden espresso martini, which is gluten-free and dairy free and it tasted like an actual espresso martini.. We also got a few desserts. I got pistachio and a honey lavender cheesecake. The pistachio was perfect. No need to add any more comments on that but the lavender cheesecake is interesting like perfume if you’re interested that flower flavor. Not my favorite, but interesting concept. The staff was great. They all worked pretty diligently. You can also sit here and do some work by the tables and chill and they also provide coffee.

My go-to for gluten free breakfast and lunch! Anytime I need a pick-me-up I walk through the doors of Sturbridge Coffee House! I am always greeted with friendly faces and delicious food. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. The service is spectacular and all of the staff is so kind and welcoming. My favorite breakfast is the breakfast salad with a bagel on the side. Their speciality drinks every month are so much fun too! Stop in, you won’t be disappointed, and you will leave with a full stomach and happy soul!

This is the fifth time I’ve been glutened in three years at a Table 3 restaurant. The owners are celiac so this is incredibly disappointing. Not having a dedicated frier at any of the three places with is also a shame. It has basically become a guarantee that every 3rd or 4th time I try eating at Avellino, The Duck or Cedar Street Grill that I will be glutened. I also typically have months in between the times I eat at these establishments.

Condesa served us a delicious meal that delighted all 6 members of my family. The salsa and chips were very tasty. The chips were not too salty, which I appreciated, and the salsa was so fresh and had just a bit of spice. I am gluten and dairy free and didn't feel restricted at all. My sister and I split several things. We tried the vegetarian cornmeal sopes which had the best taste and texture, and split an order of tamales , which I found exceptional. We also tried the guacamole, which was so creamy and fresh. Finally we decided to order a salad, made with cucumber, jicama, and some delicious spices. The sauce/dressing was a bit spicy but addictive. I've never had anything like it, and I loved it! The atmosphere is open, and not too loud. The waitstaff were friendly and welcoming! We live in CT, but I would travel to eat this wonderful food again.

Everyone was very accommodating with my gluten free meal. Worth the stop. Plenty of food. You won’t leave hungry.

The food was delicious but as someone who is gluten free I wish there were more gluten friendly options. Our server was great and attentive.

Don Tatro

Complete surprise. Gluten-free food that was delicious. I got the burger house specialty, wow, great sandwich. Wife said her baked potato pizza was awesome.

Brendan Joyce

Great family owned business and best pizza in town! Fantastic Greek salads (the best I’ve had since the famous Christo’s in Brockton, MA closed 10 years ago). I have Celiac and Village Pizza has outstanding gluten free pizzas—I’ve had their GF pizza dozens of times with no issues. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Been awhile since my last visit but same result as any prior stops. Bristet was amazing. Great bark. Just the right touch of smoke. Texture was soft and moist. Ribs were equally disappointing. Very dry. The great selection of sauces could do little to help. How can they be so good at brisket and not ribs. Potato salad was good. They did a nice job assuring me that food would not be cross contaminated with Gluten for this poor celiac. Much appreciated.

Jessy Vollaro

We got sick from eating the food. We were hoping it'd be a place we could eat because my boyfriend and I both have sensitive stomachs. As well as I need to be gluten free. We had eggs with breakfast potatoes and bacon and bread. The gluten free bread didn't taste the best. We believe the way the potatoes were made, made us sick but it could also be the eggs. After we ate there, my boyfriend ended up having four seizures. He took his medicine early that morning. The only thing I can say that was good was their hot chocolate without whipped cream. We will never be going back. We actually didn't even bother trying any other place in the area because I didn't want to have my boyfriend go through any more seizures for the next day.

Very satisfied with Lemon pepper rainbow trout meal. Unfortunately they do not offer gluten free rolls or bread so limited gluten free meals

Mark Levasseur

Had a great burrito, also excellent gluten-free selections.

Kristin Reeves-Hall

Outstanding service from Deanna. It was an amazing time for my husband and I because of the wonderful service. Food was was well presented and there was plenty of gluten free options. We had steak as well as fish and both were excellent prepared, with high quality ingredients. The steak was cooked perfectly as my husband ordered it. The pricing comparable to lovely Worcester dining was a slightly higher.

I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) We’ve been by this place various times and it’s always packed. Today we stopped in and because it’s early in the busy season, we had no wait. Plenty of parking. Keeping in mind it’s a country kitchen, everything was great! Everyone was so friendly. The place was clean and the server was attentive. I have a gluten allergy and I did fine here. They do offer some GF bread options. There are also plenty of egg dishes which are GF. The food was overall delicious and fresh. They offer some pies too, which my spouse got to enjoy. You’ll find this establishment to be family friendly and great for single and seniors. You’ll do fine if you have mobility needs. I also noted that they are definitively LGBTQ friendly, given the signage on the door. We love that because I know my family and clients would feel welcome. You’ll also find that the prices are fair for what you get. Stop in, you’ll very likely enjoy it!

Monica Renaud

The staff was so friendly and helpful. She offered gluten free choices and asked kitchen to make a change so my daughter could eat. We had turkey, fish, and beef dinners. Everything was delicious! After a cold walk it was lovely having such a nice warm "home cooked" dinner.
