What a treat!! They fried the donut to order then glazed it hot… what?! So amazing! I haven’t had a donut (not a crappy cake donut anyways) in over 10 years since my celiac diagnosis. Amazing. Order ahead and pick up because street parking sucks but SO worth it, and the calories.

Came in for the gluten free cheesesteak as I kept seeing it recommended online. It was a solid sandwich. The GF bread was the best part. The steak and cheese needed a little love, some seasoning, and a little more of it in the sandwich.
My absolute favorite restaurant! The most delicious food, the safest for people with celiac, the kindest staff, the best vibes, most amazing happy hour! I couldn’t recommend a place more!
We have been to Charlie's multiple times and always enjoyed delicious food, great drinks, and awesome service each time. I wanted to specifically highlight that this an amazing place to go for people with food allergies. We went a few weekends ago with my MIL and our family, and we had made a reservation ahead of time that noted my MIL's significant food allergies (corn, gluten, wheat, and dairy). Before we came, they did extra cleaning of the restaurant to avoid cross-contamination and management had briefed the team and our waiter on her allergies. When we arrived they had a special menu prepared for her with all the items she could eat so we didn't have to ask about every one. We ordered lots of food and we all loved our dishes. As each dish came out the waiter noted which had allergens and which didn't so we could easily make sure she got what she needed. She had no reactions and said it was one of the best meals she's ever had. Thank you so much Charlie's for making this so special for us! We will be coming back every time she visits.
This place was absolutely amazing. The food was so delicious and healthy. Felt like I was eating my moms homemade dinner. So fresh. Also 100% GF! So no need to worry about cross contamination 🤗
Went on a Thursday night and sat in the patio. Music was playing. They have happy hour till 7. Great 3 dollar tacos. And a huge portion of the menu is dairy, gluten free or both. Really delicious food
I have to say I'm always skeptical about gluten free pizza, however this pizza was absolutely amazing, the tuna salad was so good, eggplant parmesan white regular pizza everything we ordered was great!
Amazing food, outstanding gluten free pizza, service is great we always request Nick he and everyone else is so insanely friendly. We go here every time we are in the city and for a good reason. 10/10 would recommend.
Solid burger place and the ice cream is good too, especially the peanut butter flavor. Friendly staff, good service. Just remember: cash only (I can only imagine how many times a day the guy taking the order has to break the news to customers as they stare back with a confused look on their face). Gluten free buns are a big plus!
Luigi’s Pizza Fresca – A Fairmount Gem!
If you're in the Fairmount area, Luigi’s Pizza Fresca is a must-visit! I had the pleasure of trying their Fresca Works pizza as well as a custom-built gluten-free pizza, and I was blown away.
Gluten-free pizza can be hit or miss, but Luigi’s absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin, yet strong enough to hold all the delicious cheese and sauce without getting soggy—a rare find. The Fresca Works pizza is also packed with flavor, a perfect choice if you want something hearty and balanced.
I've tried many gluten-free pizzas, and this one easily ranks among the best. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you’ll find something to love here. Highly recommend giving it a try!
Quaint little restaurant bar atmosphere. The menu is awesome, but very few options for a celiac gal like myself. The curry deviled eggs were amazing. Gluten is a whole vibe there, so those who can, enjoy!
Delicious breakfast sandwiches in a fast casual atmosphere. The eggs were fluffy and our sandwiches were ready quickly. Gluten free bread is available for a few extra dollars.
I am a new lover of Veda! After coming here with a friend over the weekend I decided to return for lunch this week. I was so happy to find out they had specials for restaurant week!
The fish pakora was so good I literally wrote home to mom about it! As someone with dietary restrictions finding a place to eat can be hard, but Veda has loads of clearly labeled gluten free options. Their fish is sumptuous and flavorful. I also got the fish moylee and the sauce was so good I could swim in it! I totally enjoyed everything I had. Everything tasted very fresh, flavorful, and delicious.
Apart from the food the service was wonderful. My waiter was kind and attentive at every point throughout my meal. It’s great when food tastes good and even better when service stands out. My waiter, Khemraj, was so kind and helpful I will make it a point to stop by again sometime this week when he is working. Do yourself a favor a stop by Veda. Whether you’re by yourself, on a date, or with a friend- you’ll be glad you did!
So delicious! I have a burger on a GF bun and fries from their dedicated fryer. The server was gluten free herself and was SO helpful. I can’t wait to go back!
This place is a Blast!!! So many games to choose from. It's great to run through a bunch of old classics, or to try a new game before you buy it. When we asked for a particular game they didn't have, they actually went next door to their game shop and opened a brand new game for us! The service really is top notch. And the food! So many amazing comfort food options, and with a huge vegan and gluten free selection too. The drinks are fantastic as well. It's a bit pricey but the fun is worth it and so we keep going back again and again
We ordered off grubhub and the service was amazing. She called us and made sure she knew what we wanted gluten free, and the food was ALL amazing. The menu is just phenomenal, I've never gotten to experience Chinese food fully because of being vegetarian and this place is amazing for anyone who wants to eat dim sum without meat. There's a great combo of both meat substitutes and things that don't require it.
The dumplings, fried tofu, kung pao tofu, and potato croquets were all really tasty.
A wide variety of food from Latin countries. However, I didn't see anything that reflected true Puerto Rican options. That was a disappointment. They have a few gluten free options and only one option for brunch. I'm not a fan of chipotle and wasn't in the mood for nachos for breakfast I just had rice and beans which were like warm not hot. It was almost cold. A huge turn off. I tried the yucca bowl that was good but had more cheese than yucca. The yucca fries were good but lacked a distinct flavor. I would have liked some adobo to give it more taste. Service was great. The environment is nice especially if you can eat outside. I will go back to try other things in the future and specify to warm the food.
The staff are very knowledgeable about gluten, cross contact, and celiac! (I’ve heard that the owner has celiac.) Great food, lots of GF options, the menu is well-labeled, and the atmosphere is great (indoor and outdoor seating)! They also have delicious GF desserts. This restaurant is my go-to.
This place is just soo good! I have a gluten allergy and can easily get a yummy lunch here without any worry. The Kale Caesar, charred broccoli and chicken thighs are to die for!
My job today ordered the falafels for our lunch for orientation It was awesome I consider myself a multiterion so this fits right under umbrella of what I eat. Also they do have a gluten-free option for the bread but unfortunately I didn't get any
Very cute place! We’ll definitely be returning. Fairly priced, great service, incredible food. The calamari were amazing as was the caprese salad. We did the tortelloni, ravioli, and mushroom risotto for dinner and all of us were speechless! You can tell how fresh the ingredients are and how thoughtfully they were prepared. If you have celiac disease/are gluten free (or any other dietary restriction), don’t hesitate to make the reservation here; they will take care of you. Thanks for a great experience!
The curry was delicious and very flavorful! Allergens were very clearly labeled -- lots of gluten-free options or things that can be made gluten-free upon request. Great service and friendly staff. Will definitely be stopping by again!
I have celiac disease. I've eaten here many times and I've never been sick. The only thing on the menu that isn't GF are the churros, but they have a dedicated GF fryer! Love the food. I will be back here many times.
The salads are very good. Plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. The online menu clearly indicates which choices are GF, though I wish they were also designated somewhere in the store as it can slow down the ordering process to have to take out my phone and look. My little one enjoys building her own bowl and choosing the toppings but was also very vocal about the slight funky smell inside. It’s not so bad considering there isn’t seating inside, but we happened to sit right outside the front door and I did notice it every time someone went in or out. It can get very busy during the lunch rush but is pretty quiet at dinner.
My friends surprised me with a cake from here for my bridal shower last year, and I’m so grateful they introduced me to this incredible bakery. Their pizza and cakes are particularly to die for, but they have all sorts of other wonderful treats for anyone unable to consume gluten & vegan! They are also very friendly and lovely. Highly recommend!
Shoutout to the kind staff, who cheerfully accommodated our request for a cup of hot water! We got the veg out pizza which had generous toppings and a well-fired crust. A tasty and filling meal!
P.S. they have crusts to accommodate every dietary need, from regular to gluten-free to cauliflower and even keto!
