The Wooden Spoon Bistro

Great food, super friendly and helpful staff. Lots of gluten free, celiac safe options.

We are local and have a family member that reacts quite bad to gluten. Spoons seems one of two places in Grand Forks that offers GF options. The GF bread servings for the price is very disappointing and inconsistent. 3 times now over the span of several month the GF sandwich was the size of a children's meal for $15+! We've said before we are not coming back because it's way to expensive for a rather disappointing lunch. Still kept giving it another chance because we had the odd good experience and there is frankly nowhere in Grand Forks to get reasonable nice food with GF option. People with an food allergy get shafted more than double - the choices, the prices and the quantity/quality. And on another note the baristas make certain hot beverages different every time - no espresso shot all the way up to 3 for the same price. One says this, the other says that. Nearly every time I have to ask and double check twice on my order. Don't just think and bank on the tourism that is a one time customer, think of locals the support they give you all year around and the consistency people expect for the prices.
