This is a fun place to go with great gluten free options for Italian food. My server had celiac disease and was very knowledgeable. I have been here a few times and not had any problems here.
Have gluten-free food that passes muster even for people with celiac disease. Such restaurants are not easy to find. Maybe we celiac sufferers who enjoy eating out can share our GF restaurant experiences.
Awesome sweets! I had a friend who was in the area and she found this place. I asked her to bring the lemon pound cake, oatmeal cookies and apple muffin. Everything tasted awesome. Look forward to ordering some things in the future! Thanks!
This is a great spot for food allergies. My wife had a fried chicken sandwich which was gluten free and she was in heaven. I had their signature black bean burger and the jalapeno jam was very tasty.
English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos.
The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite.

FULLY GLUTEN FREE RESTAURANT 🤩 We’ve been frequenting BIBIBOP in Cary since it has opened. Most all gluten free people know gluten free Asian foods are few and far between. This place is DELICIOUS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I describe it like an Asian chipotle in set-up. You go through line and build a bowl. VERY FRESH and clean ingredients. Tasty teas and lemonades. Yummy free miso soup.
Friendly staff and clean space.
10/10 recommend

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.
Was in town for work and wanted something marginally healthy with gluten free options for my friend. I got a salad, they let me sub shrimp for chicken for a small fee and the salad was delightful. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The staff was nice. Lots of tables inside and out.
GF DF Gluten Free and dairy free chicken sandwhich is AWESOME. I love it and I’m so glad to be able to enjoy something like that at a restaurant. Thank you!
This is by far one of the BEST Italian restaurants I have ever been to! My friends and I were visiting Asheville from Charlotte and stopped in for takeout after coming across Strada on my Find Me Gluten Free app. I have never been to an Italian restaurant that was as accommodating for dietary restrictions as Strada. Just walking in, I knew this place would be great. The staff who greeted us were extremely friendly and professional. They made us feel welcome and cared for. They went out of their way to make sure our orders were correct. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and was so excited to find out that not only do they offer gluten free pasta, but they offer rice-based gluten free pasta! A lot of places only offer corn-based gluten free pasta and that doesn't taste as good as rice and it's harsher on my stomach. This pasta tasted amazing! The gluten free pasta didn't even cost much extra which was AMAZING because I went to another restaurant in Asheville that charged me an additional $5 just for a side of carrots as I couldn't eat any of their other sides. Strada also has a lovely set up with a gorgeous bar and lounge area. The next time I am in Asheville, I definitely want to eat here!

We were told to visit Old Europe Pastries because they have gluten-free options. Indeed, they do! The carrot cake is outstanding. We also got what I'll call a lemon bundt cake (which I can't remember the exact name, sorry), which was excellent. We'll definitely go back!
Besides all the food being absolutely incredible, from the appetizers to the dinner to the dessert, all fantastic. The service was amazing, my family and I went and the server, Tatiana, was the most attentive server I've ever had in my life, was so on top of everything, drinks being topped off, above and beyond and incredibly friendly. I don't reveiw often but felt like this deserved it, definitely suggest this place! Also side note, my mom has celiac and they are very careful with food allergies, her plates even had allergy warning stickers on them. The menus made note of what was gluten free, and spice levels, as well as a low calorie specific menu.
Hands down my favorite place for gluten free pizza!
They are very accommodating to gluten free customers. Not only do they have gluten free pizza crust but they also have vegan cheese 😍 They have specific pizzas that can be prepared certified gluten free as shown on the menu. Some ingredients vary by location so be sure to double check. Sometimes I venture out and build my own pizza but I always verify which ingredients are safe. They also have individually wrapped gluten free brownies for dessert!
Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.
The staff is always kind, the atmosphere is inviting and as someone with celiac it's great to be able to have anything on the menu. I like to try something new every visit.
Such a wonderful eclectic coffee shop with all gluten free treats. I got the lavender cardamon scone that was delicious!! The cinnamon sugar oatmilk latte was yummy, too.
This place is under new ownership and definitely miss the original staff. They got rid of a lot of the valuable , free health literature which was nice to take home to read with your purchases. Overall still a great place to find your nutritional needs and they have a huge selection in the back of the store for Gluten free.
Let me just say- a cafe that is SPACIOUS, open EVERY DAY until 8pm, has tons of flavors, is affordable, GREAT service!!!! this was my first time here and i got a cold brew with sugar free chocolate and raspberry it was SO GOOD!! i am gluten free and appreciated the separate case for gf items, but unfortunate it all contains nuts so i wasn’t able to try any of it… however it looks fantastic!!!
It is so cute (not at all a dive) inside! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and have many options. The fried chicken was delicious and I really liked the fries. They also have fun cocktails, and my friends enjoyed their meals as well.
Wowza!! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious these gluten free deserts were. I stumbled upon this place by happenstance and since I’m gluten free decided to try the brownie, pecan pie and gingerbread cookie. I’m use to gluten free deserts having a slightly odd flavor or grainy texture so I was expecting this from what I purchased. Boy was I wrong!! Everything taste divine and the textures were on par!! Again, I was so pleasantly surprised that I had to write this review right away. Can’t wait to come back and try new things 😁
I have had Celiac disease for 20 years, since before I could drink alcohol. I thought I hated beer BUT THEN I HAD ARMORED COW GLUTEN FREE BEER! My favorite so far is Hell Yeah but Miss Rosie is good too. I can’t wait to try all they offer gluten free. Thanks for making beer I can drink and enjoy!
Every single time we come to Asheville, I eat the Chicken and waffles at Early Girl. It's phenomenal. (and Celiac safe!) They have tons of other options, too. Laid back casual diner with delicious, unique brunch fare. Worth the wait, if you catch it during the busy season!
Had some awesome Cod/fish & chips. So good! My husband is celiac and they had a whole separate menu for him. He had the bean vegetarian burger which was also delicious.
Service and food were great! My only disappointment is that HQ is changing their menu and taking several items off including one of my favorite gluten free foods…street noodles.
We had salads and pizzas delivered for our large group one night. They were fast and efficient. Salads were fresh and delicious (Greek salad). The pizzas satisfied our cravings and went perfectly with the wine we had at home. Solid crust and ingredients. We had a guest that was gluten free and she was able to pick her option and enjoy a great pizza alongside everybody.
Yikes. Don’t even know where to start. Long story short - don’t come here. We waited over an hour and a half for our food and after that we walked out. Never typically leave reviews for restaurants but this was an exception because it was so bad. I mean the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. We kept getting different excuses from the waiter and the manager. At one point it was that “gluten free pizza takes longer” (which has never been a hold up in the past at Mellow), another time it was “the kitchen made your orders wrong,” and the third time it was “the kitchen lost your ticket and your order hasn’t been made.” After over an hour and a half of waiting and the server asking us our order again and getting the order wrong on the ticket, we decided to leave. Manager and waiter never seemed to care that we had been waiting over an hour and a half, there was no sympathy or apologies, and they were rude. Exceptionally bad customer service. Other tables were waiting for their food and the food pick up section had a large amount of people waiting a long time too. So don’t count on pick up being timely either. Understand delays can happen because of staff shortage and busy hours, but the restaurant was half empty and tons of servers standing around. None of our group will be coming back. Highly recommend you don’t go here or if you really want Mellow Mushroom to visit the Cary or Durham location.
I love this place. I've been here a few times and I like it more the more I visit.
The food options are numerous for me (Gluten allergy) and I'm all about organic foods. They are also very conscious of allergies and accommodate accordingly.
The staff is friendly and playful, too! They clearly care about the principles of this place.
And atmosphere is nothing special, but gets the job done. 5 stars for sustainability though, with their steel cutlery and plates.
Come check it out! Totally worth it.
My husband, two kids, and I dined out for brunch on Easter morning. They had so many yummy gluten free options! I wish they carried GF pure organic maple syrup though as I am allergic to blueberries!
Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.
They have great gluten free and vegan options. Servers were very helpful when I forgot to order gluten free bun. Deviled eggs were a little spicy, which we enjoyed. Onion rings were yummy. Overall it is a good local burger place.
