Great gluten free deserts: cupcakes and the vegan apple coffee cake.

Heather Coupland

My favorite bakery! The cinnamon buns & egg sandwiches are unlike anywhere else. Love having access to safe & tasty GF treats!

Kelsey Battista

hidden gem!! cute diner with tons of gluten free options. I let the server know of my gluten allergy, the staff were very knowledgeable. the buckwheat chocolate chip pancakes were delicious- even my non gluten free husband loved! definitely recommend making a pit stop here

Ashley Kus

Gluten free, very accommodating, thorough, allergen friendly

Valerie Fallon

Excellent gluten free options. Truly my go to for fried seafood. My only complain is their chocolate cake used to be a large piece with amazing frosting. It’s definitely gone down 2/3 of the size and the taste isn’t the same as it used to be. Somebody added chunks of salt on it! It was really bad and same with the frosting was bland!

Alexandra V

Celiac Friendly!

Heather Coupland

Great menu, so many options can be made gluten free. Obsessed with the onion rings!

Austin Lieto

Very good for celiac

Laurie Jambor

My celiac daughter and I are never disappointed with the treats we get here!! So delicious!!

Martha Rogers

Gluten free heaven!

Adam Demaral

Perfect spot for a Celiac to have breakfast! Need to open a franchise in Hudson, MA!

Laurie Jambor

We love Plan B for their dedicated fryer and many GF options. My celiac daughter loves the chicken tenders and tots and we’ve never had any issues with feeling sick after eating here

Heather Coupland

The staff goes above & beyond to ensure a safe & inclusive experience. Great celiac safe menu! Highly recommended.

Karen LaFleur

I love the GF version of General Tso Chicken.

Rachel Lippin-Foster

Gf friendly!

Genna Mullen

I absolutely love Green Olive. I have celiac and have never had an issue with food, and they have so many options! My only issue is they close earlier than their hours say and it’s not super close to where I live, so when I finally get through my day and am SO looking forward to a good calzone, they’re closed hours earlier than it says online. That has been and is my only issue and it’s so disappointing to me as I can’t get this kind of food everywhere, driving over half an hour away and craving the food to find out it’s closed it so sad :(.

Minakshi Stalhamer

Amazingly flavorful, all gluten free food, wonderful options, absolutely lovely experience (btw the burritos are hugeeee and the taco orders are 1 per and pricey but nice to try a few)

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

The tall tables are rough for disabled people but at least there is a long ramp that is pretty usable for the entrance. Gluten free buns, great burger, nice vibes

Leslie Burby

I tried a variety of foods and they were all delicious and the staff were incredibly patient and kind. I will definitely be back. This is nice and close to the New Haven Union Train station.

Kathryn Fox

Stopped by here while visiting family in the area. It's difficult for me to find quality gluten free items at home, so I try to stop at places when I have the chance. It is FANTASTIC and I can't wait to stop by again. The whoopie pie--- AMAZING. Next time I will absolutely stock up on those. The cookies were excellent, and I'm looking forward to the biscuits. I was able to freeze almost everything. Yes, a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for in this case and it is QUALITY and absolutely worth it for me. Gluten free is always expensive, so it might as well be from a local bakery. Thank you for having this bakery!

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

Hannah Jahn

Amaaazing gluten free and vegan/dairy free soft serve ice cream! The Amaretto is my favorite and the ice cream sandwiches are great! Definitely a hidden treasure

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at S&P Oyster on New Year’s Day. We chose to celebrate our wedding with a big group of 16, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch even on a holiday First off, our server, Kev, was amazing. I honestly don’t know how he kept his cool with so many requests flying at him all night, but he did it with a smile, a sense of humor, and a level of professionalism that made the whole evening feel effortless. We had people with dietary restrictions— like gluten and dairy allergies—and Kev made sure everything was taken care of without any fuss. The menu offered a whole host of both vegan and gluten free options and Kev worked directly with the kitchen to make sure every dish was tailored to accommodate those needs, and it really helped us relax and enjoy the meal without any stress. The food was out of this world. Everything from the appetizers to the mains to the desserts was incredible. There was a great variety of options, which was such a relief, especially when you’re dealing with so many different preferences and dietary needs. Our group really was blown away by everything we ordered from the apps to dessert, the food here was really a hit! The atmosphere was intimate and beautiful while remaining welcoming, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy themselves and feel comfortable. The staff didn’t rush us, which I really appreciated—our group can be a bit chatty, and we were there to linger, enjoy the food, and celebrate, so it was nice that they let us take our time. Everything just clicked—great food, fantastic service, and an atmosphere that really let us savor the moment. It’s not easy pulling off a large group celebration with so many moving parts, but S&P Oyster, especially Kev, nailed it. I can’t recommend it enough, especially if you're looking for a place that goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels taken care of. Kev deserves a special shoutout for being an absolute pro and making sure our wedding celebration went off without a hitch. Thanks to this experience, we plan on returning frequently!

Obsessed with PF Chang’s. Been coming since I was in elementary school with my family as they have some of the most amazing gluten free apps/entrees people with celiac could ever imagine. The egg drop soup is to die for and the Chang’s spicy chicken has a sweet sauce with just enough spice. My partner loves the pad thai as well saying it’s slightly sweet with a classic pad thai flavor. I will forever miss the gluten free chocolate dome dessert with the berry sauce, but they still have GREAT options and I will be coming back many more times in the future. Love this place. 15/10.

Caitlyn Lac

As someone who cannot eat gluten without getting sick (non-celiac), I'm not sure how this place doesn't already have 5 stars. These are the best gf cupcakes I've ever had and trust me, I've had a lot of GF desserts. Even my brother who can eat gluten said they dont taste gf, thats how good they are. The salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal too.

Perrin Brown

Dedicated fryer and very attentive staff for any and all dietary needs

Christopher Chanowitz

Good food, great service. Very quaint and cozy. Lots of gluten free options. Food was hot and delicious 😋. Service impeccable.

diana reed

Delish unique French inspired breakfast and lunch with many gluten free options Amazing lattes too! The sweet lady at the barista counter was very attentive and genuinely kind Great portions too! And the soup was truly comfort food!

Eric Gugliuzza

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!

Enjoyed a nice Valentine’s Day dinner with my Valentine here. Nice atmosphere with a few pretty floral additions and also had a rose for each couple as a parting gift. Very busy with a bit of a line when we were heading out - was happy to have made a reservation on OpenTable. Our server, Jess, was awesome. Super nice with a sense of humor to deftly counter my witty commentary. Since both Sauvignon Blancs in the glass were from New Zealand I wasn’t sure which to choose and Jess was kind enough to bring a taste of each. As we were catching up over a delicious IIPA and a glass of wine from the rather large list (but limited availability for glasses vs bottles), we noticed the music was quite loud - not sure if valentines related or typical. We started with the Farm to Table board which was yummy but should have been called Brussels Sprouts with lots (and lots) of fig jam and a hint of prosciutto. Only a couple thin slices under a mound of fried sprouts. Sprouts were voluminous and tasty but little overdone IMHO. Also needed more salt, pistachios, and burrata. For our mains, we had the Skillet Roasted Salmon and the Nachos. Salmon was very tasty. We ordered medium rare and it was definitely more cooked through. Nice sweetness in the sauce that complimented the unctuousness of the salmon. Could have used a touch more acid and more of the crunch from the pistachios. Toothsome risotto that was very squashy (in a good way)! Nachos were huge with a nice layer of melted cheese and a delicious cheese sauce in addition to the chicken. Definitely a good amount of spice - not sure if in the sauce or only from the peppers. Only criticism was the Arugula. I loves me some peppery lettuce, but just felt like an odd addition on Nachos. Actually, another complaint - Top layer was awesome but you’re left with a pile of baked naked chips underneath. Overall - great atmosphere and good food. Tons of Gluten Free options with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thumbs up!

So easy to east GF here

Cheryl Muldoon

Wonderful little spot in Stratford with phenomenal vegan and gluten free options. We had the black bean burger, chocolate peanut butter bar, chocolate zucchini bread, and the flourless tahini brownie- all were absolutely amazing.

Carly Nixon

Their gluten free pizza / crust is one of my favorite options in the area!

Ashley Berry Neff

So good! So many choices! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. We were seated at the bar quickly. Lucas was our server and he was awesome! I have to be careful about what I eat, since I’m gluten free. Lucas was knowledgeable and assured me that what I was ordering wouldn’t make me sick. As he put it “welcome home” 😂 The drinks were amazing and the tacos were fantastic. Charles came over at some point to help other customers and he was super attentive to them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

Jaeoh Kim

Gluten-free pizza is a fantastic option for families with gluten restrictions. It allows those who can't consume wheat to enjoy pizza, and the taste is excellent!

Sam Stenberg

Cannot get enough of this place. We will drive 50 minutes, absolutely fighting for our lives in Hartford bound traffic, and once we’re seated that experience is completely erased and replaced with a giant bowl of lamb hummus. Please if you get any starters let it be this. I love mixing and matching the small plates and we share with the table. The Brussels sprouts are always cooked perfectly and the batata harra is soooo delicious. Beware if you don’t like garlic (which would be wacky). The desserts are also lovely especially the pistachio cake. There’s a lot of naturally gluten free options on the menu which is awesome and it’s easy to eat here as a vegan/vegetarian as well. I’ve heard amazing things about the whole roasted cauliflower. There’s an open kitchen and you get to see the puffed up pitas come out of the oven. The staff is wonderful and if you’re lucky Bri will be your waiter. She knows the menu inside and out and will always recommend the best things on the menu.

Violet Moonwater

The best Indian food restaurant in the US. It is like home cooking, visiting my relatives in India. But right down the street! Great selection. High quality ingredients. Great for gluten allergies. Very nice atmosphere. Friendly local owners.

mai aludi

Tasty bites woth gluten free options. Perfect for a nicer night out with friends or a date. Can't go wrong with Patatas Bravas

Winston Trope

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

Adam Therrien

Food is amazing, absolutely the best Chinese food I've ever had. Great portion size, the food is so fresh and clean tasting. Great place for gluten free dinner

Bryza Santos

As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be stressful, but Terra Gaucha exceeded all my expectations. I was initially concerned about gluten-free options, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that almost everything on the menu was naturally gluten-free or could be accommodated. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about cross-contamination and took great care to ensure my meal was safe. Beyond that, the food was phenomenal. The variety and quality of meats were outstanding—perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The salad bar had fresh, delicious options, and I never felt limited in my choices. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly servers making sure we had everything we needed.

George E

Great food, friendly staff, homemade dough and baked goods. Full gluten free menu

Shayna Eckl

We had to wait an hour for our reservation but it was so so worth it. The food was amazing and all the staff was fantastic. Specifically the flan was insane. I have Celiac and I was so accommodated and checked on. Specifically Margaret, Mecca, and Brandon made our night. Bottom line: if you're going to a delicious and popular place on a Friday night, don't be an asshole, the staff is working hard!

nicole gioffre

Upset I have a gluten allergy, I noted that but they still put gluten on my food had to eaten that I would’ve been super sick

Diane P

We stayed across the street & decided to try it instead of the “other” pizza place in Mystic. Our server Jessica was awesome & shared that it had been in the Hallmark movie “Mystic Christmas.” We had a white pizza, a bootlegger pizza & a 1/2 & 1/2 topping gluten-free pizza. If you have to do GF this one will make you happy!

Karina Hernandez

Lady was so nice. Really good gluten free lemon bars. My gf is gf so yknow how that is ah ha ha…

c

Dont eat here if you’re celiac The server was really nice and set us quickly but I told her we had a 45 minutes to eat and said that they could accommodate but I have a gluten allergy and I asked for gluten-free menu and they brought me a hamburger with a Gluten bun I took a bite and realized that it was a Gluten bun. I already ate it, so it was too late, but I hate the burger not the bun because cross-contamination is an a problem for me. Yes, the waitress and she said oh no, I forgot or something to that extent then the manager came over and asked me why i ateb my food it’s not it’s not my responsibility to explain my allergy you served me Some thing I was allergic to cross-contamination isn’t a problem for me because I’m not celiac, but the second I said I wasn’t celiac he didn’t seem to care I asked for to go bags for the food they watch me struggle with my toddler and everything spilled out of the bag and they didn’t take the burger off my bill which I think it’s just really poor service because I eat the burger and not the bun, but I took a bite of the bun which made me sick .

Christina Longofono

I had a party to celebrate my wedding here, and it was wonderful. We got a private room with a bar, the staff were great and responsive, and the food was excellent. They did an excellent job accommodating guests who don't drink and can't eat gluten, and allowed our photographer to circulate and get pictures of everyone celebrating. I would absolutely do an event at Stonebridge again.
