Delicious churros! I've not had a churro since going gluten free and these were great. My partner who is not gluten free or vegan said he couldn't tell the difference. Also really good vanilla icecream!

Hands down, the best gluten-free cake in the city—and quite possibly the best cake I’ve ever had, period. My first bite of the beautifying fudge brownie cake made me want to dance, and by the second, I actually did. The rich, decadent chocolate is everything you dream of in a chocolate cake. But what truly made my taste buds sing was the surprising and delightful addition of dried fruit and herbs that complement the chocolate masterfully. I tried a slice warm, and let me tell you—ooey, gooey perfection. One slice is so filling and the texture is so indulgent and satisfying. This isn’t just a cake; it’s art, it’s therapy, it’s magic. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out. An absolute must-have for any chocolate lover, gluten-free or not!

Nice little spot for well presented ice cream with fun toppings. Very allergen friendly including having a good number of gluten free options (entire shop is vegan). Bit pricey like many things in NYC but, has outdoor seating with great people watching so serves as a nice place to take a break and have a snack.

Wow! Such a lovely restaurant. Bar is beautiful, restaurant very cozy & comfortable. Fast service, very kind hostess. My family really enjoyed the meal. They accommodated a large group and fed me safe gluten free options even corrected one we originally ordered, to GF. Please do enjoy a delicious cocktail during your visit. I had the lychee cocktail, so delicious!

What a welcome change of pace. I went in, frankly desperate for something to eat before a class and wasn't expecting such a gem! The friendly person at the counter reassured me that they could make my sandwich gluten free, the coffee was great, the wrap was delicious and the airy, friendly atmosphere has put this on my regular spot list. I'm going there every week before that same class.

Excellent smash burger. Gluten free options: Burgers are grilled on a dedicated space, no buns or flour tortillas touch that surface. They have lettuce wraps. Be careful with the sauces, not all are gluten free but the server has an allergen key at the station.

THEY DO NOT CATER TO GLUTEN FREE. They used to accommodate gluten free with the tasting menu and changed after the pandemic. Any Michelin star restaurant with a tasting menu should accommodate allergies such as gluten free. This is very disappointing.

My friend and I had dinner on Friday night at the NYC location of Beauty and Essex. It was a long anticipated evening to celebrate her birthday. We were supposed to come a few years ago, but first the pandemic put a hold on our plans and then she had surgery, further delaying us. We are both gluten free and dairy free and were really looking forward to the delicious options on your menu. We asked the server to clarify the ‘cross’ symbol next to some of the options and wanted to know if those meant they were gluten free. He said Yes, they were. We also told him we were both gluten and dairy free. We ordered the Vegan sherry glazed tofu, the miso glazed crispy eggplant and the autumn roasted vegetables. For dessert we ordered the vegan brownie sundae. We were curious about what some of the gluten free substitutions were on the items, such as the coating on the eggplant and the couscous-like ingredient with the tofu. He told us he didn’t know what they used for the eggplant coating and he said the couscous-like ingredient was couscous, which of course is not gluten free. We thought that was odd and we thought maybe he didn’t know what they used as a substitution. What we figured out later that evening, when my friend got very sick, was that he didn’t know about the menu, or that the ‘cross’ meant gluten free options available. He just told us they were gluten free. Unfortunately our fun couple of days in Manhattan turned into a shortened trip and had to head home to treat her symptoms. We are typically very careful about making sure what we are getting is gluten free and dairy free, but we also need to rely on the servers to know how to accommodate us. I just wanted to make you aware and ensure that the servers are familiar with the gluten free options on your menu. Hopefully it can prevent someone else from getting sick.

Very delicious! The savory mini pancakes with mushrooms were a star. Really liked them and I think they’re gluten free (didn’t verify). The vegetable pho is great because it comes with tofu and there’s lots of bok choi, peas, and mushrooms. I love the fibre boost. And you can get it with any broth (I liked beef > chicken). It’s a great spot for gluten free friendly food. Good prices for pho. One appetizer and 2 mains came to $42 - very reasonable prices.

111 years of history!! Without a doubt, a must-see classic when you are here! Upon entering, one already feels the nostalgia of such an iconic place. The atmosphere, the smells, the people. I tried their famous BAGEL (everything) with plain cream cheese, Gaspe Nova salmon ($17) and I added tomato ($.50) and red onion ($0.50). SPECTACULAR! It may seem like a lot for a “simple” bagel but believe me, it is so worth it! They also have gluten-free bagel and vegan cream cheese options! Follow me for more local tips at @local_bite!

Clinton St was a great find for some lunch. The potato pancakes were excellent for a gluten free option (the apple sauce was incredible) and the biscuit (scone) was fantastic. The staff are busy but super friendly. There was a 25 minute wait as we were walk-ins, you can book reservations ahead of time, just not on the day.

While in NYC, I crept silently out of the hotel every morning while my gluten- & lactose-intolerant boyfriend was sleeping to get a bagel and cream cheese from this place. Back home, I dream of this place and wish my local bagel shops could come close.

It doesn't get better than this. Really. Have been coming here for years. Newly expanded, lots of room. Service is top notch and friendly. If you speak German you'll have even more fun, becuase so does the staff. Great atmosphere and food without the Americanized beer hall kitsch, but with a worthy beer menu. But please don't come here if you don't like German food and then complain. Try the decadent homemade liverwurst (yes decadent and liverwurst in the same sentence) even if you think you don't like liverwurst. This isn't Oscar Meyer. Worth commenting on, I have to be gluten free and they were very accommodating. Maybe one day Cafe Katja will have a gluten free spaetzle...

Very cute place with fresh food. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I have celiacs and they put the pita separately for my sister so she could still enjoy.

Some of the best darn tacos I’ve ever had. The chicken mole and beef birria are both amazing. All tacos come with consume. The tacos are corn. The tacos are grilled to deliciousness. It’s not superrrr fast (was 10-15 mins for our order) but it’s fast enough. Just a window (no where to sit) but there are parks nearby to sit and eat. I got 2 tacos for $9. They have vegan options. Great gluten free option (all tacos are corn)

This place is wonderfullllll - especially late night! ;) My partner and I landed in NY around midnight, and were able to pop in and get some delicious empanadas. A lot of flavorful options, and I'm gluten free which works perfectly with corn-based foods. Love the easy self-service kiosks where you can just order and wait for your food. Still, the workers are helpful if/when needed. There's a limited number of seats/tables, but honestly this place has a to-go vibe anyway!
