Great gluten free options.

I went here today with 6 members of my family. We had a great waitress, she was very friendly and attentive. We all got something different as far as our meals, and everyone was saying their food was delicious. One of us had the gluten-free pancakes. She said they were great. I got the Fried Chicken Salad. It was very good. My only complaint is that the bowl they serve it in is not user-friendly. While it is nice to look at and makes the food aesthetically appealing, you can't lay your fork and knife on the edge as you do when you're eating. 🫤 I had a great cup of coffee, and others had Mimosas. The restaurant was busy the entire time we were there. There wasn't a spare table, and people were sitting at the bar. But, the service is quick and the flow of people was moving quickly. We all agreed we will go back soon.

A great build your own pizza restaurant that offers an extensive variety of toppings and 5 types of crust including gluten free, cauliflower and keto. The way it works is you pick your crust and then you have the option to add as many toppings as you like. Your pizza is then baked for you in about 5 minutes. I have been to similar pics restaurants, but I find Blaze to be the best I've tried so far, mainly for the topping selection and price. This location also offers outdoor seating. I find that the main drawback to this location is that it is always very noisy in the dining room. The service had been quick and friendly when I visited. I will return here again.

This was mine and my husbands first time at this restaurant and the service was wonderful! The lady taking our order at the register was knowledgeable of the menu and very accommodating to my gluten allergy. I ordered the Be'ef and Broccoli, my husband ordered the Loded Tacos, plus we got the CauliBites with the house seasoning, as an appetizer. They also made sure all of the items we ordered were gluten free. Overall, the food was delicious and we can't wait to come back to try more items from the menu!

I chose this restaurant while I was in town specifically because I have celiac disease and they had items on their menu that were clearly labeled as gluten free. What I was able to eat was delicious, but their gluten free labelling on the menu is incredibly misleading. I asked our server if the tortilla chips (labelled gluten free) on the menu were fried in a fryer that also fried foods that contained gluten and was told they are. So not gluten free. I asked if their corn tortillas for the tacos were warmed on the same surface as their flour tortillas and was told they were. So they're not gluten free. This sounds like an insane distinction if you aren't familiar with celiac disease, but I have had tacos make me sick this way in the past. Our server asked the kitchen to warm them differently and it was fine. And again, my tacos were delicious. I appreciated that the server communicated with the kitchen to warm my tacos. But if I had trusted the menu (or I guess just ASKED if things were gluten free vs asking specifics about how items were made) I would have spent tonight very ill.

They took our group of 20 elementary school kids and 6 adults without a reservation. The food came incredibly fast, tasted good and the waitress was amazing. She worked around the kids, gluten intolerance, and food allergies like a pro

Cantina is always my go to restaurant especially in the city! The roasted chicken tacos are always my favorite! They have so many gluten free options too! The service at the bar or if you are sitting at a table is always amazing! The manager was very informative on higher shelf tequila and helped our group out tremendously! I will always recommended cantina! Can’t wait to visit again!

I first fell in love with TAF at their Greenville location, and their Columbia location did not disappoint! I had the opportunity to work here for a month, which allowed me to see how see how passionate, driven, and genuinely excited all the employees are to deliver food that is good for the body and taste phenomenal! Each and every ingredient is hand selected to curate their weekly rotating menu to ensure the customers always get the freshest ingredients prepared at the highest quality. The ingredients are individually chosen to cover all essential food nutrients to ensure a complete meal! The staff is welcoming, educated on the food they serve, and eager to help inquiring minds! In addition to their in store offering, the founder and owner, Emilie Blanchard, has curated an entire collection of her recipes on the stores website that reaches far beyond the scopes of what the in-store weekly menu offers! So be sure to check out the website for even more inspiration and wonderful ideas to fuel your everyday life! TAF is also a great options for those with food allergies! All of the meals served here are plant-based, gluten free, and dairy free! And even if you not do have dietary restrictions the options here are so delicious! I would chose them over another restaurant every time! My personal favorites are the OG chickpea salad, ANY of the soups, and the lucky charm or strawberry cheesecake smoothie! And don't forget their grain free granola to add the perfect crunch to any smoothie! With their grab and go concept, you can stop in to grab a wrap on the run or take your time and stock your fridge your week! No matter what you choose, rest assured that the food will not only taste delicious but will nourish your body with clean and healthy ingredients to help you feel your best!

Everything was excellent, and the waitstaff was very helpful, considering we have a daughter with a gluten intolerance but wanted some sort of pasta but not with a red sauce. Everyone was satisfied and full, and we took leftovers@

Busy sit down breakfast restaurant🥚🥓 Very good food. Even has a bar area you can eat at. Some outdoor seating. Large menu. Some gluten friendly options. Lots of drink choices. Coke products including Coke Zero. Food came out very fast on a busy Saturday morning. Service is friendly and checks on you often. Located not far from downtown Columbia in a vibrant area with restaurants, shopping and bars. Parking can be a bit tricky. There is a small parking lot and on street parking. There is also a free lot up and behind the building a little hard to find.

Wheat and gluten and soy is harmful to the body please do your research, if that matters to you.

Our server Jose is extremely patient and very understanding. He ensured he understood all our food restrictions- Jain, Gluten free etc. and helped us get what we needed. Would definitely recommend the place as a whole for both food & service.
