Top 12 Gluten-Free American Diners to Experience in Kalamazoo

The food was cold, the waitress’s finger was touching our food and she rearranged some bacon on a plate with her fingers. I lost my appetite after seeing the poor hygiene of some of the waitresses. There was coughing without mouths covered. We also asked for a gluten free dish that when came, was not gluten free. Overall the food would’ve been enjoyable if it was served at the right temperature.

We stopped in for lunch while out running errands. We’d read good reviews on Google and Find Me Gluten Free. Condado lived up to the high ratings. The Lucy’s Fire and Braided & Confused tacos were amazing! We added the loaded tots to the meal which were also fantastic. Highly recommend this place! Our server, Bria, pleasantly greeted us upon entering the restaurant and was very helpful and attentive during our entire stay.

The gluten free bun here is amazing! It holds its shape and is really soft. I honestly wouldn’t have known it was gluten free. The burgers and wings are delicious! The wings are crispy and perfectly lightly sauced. It’s bar food, but it was all fresh and not greasy. Our server wasn’t knowledgeable on gluten containing products on the menu and had to ask the back multiple things, so if you’re sensitive to gluten and wondering- the curly fries and wings are not coated in flour, and the cheese sauce also doesn’t contain gluten.

We went to Crow's Nest for the first time on Saturday, June 1, 2024 after funding them on the Happy Cow app. The atmosphere was great. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. They have a section specifically labeled vegan and vegetarian which is great! Sara our server made a great suggestion for a modification for my gluten free wife. She is not a celiac but has sensitivity and always eats gluten free. While the modification was tasty, we would love to see Crow's Nest offer a gluten free bread. Sara did tell us that they are worried about cross-contamination and that they pride themselves on baking their own bread in-house. But please consider a gluten free option for people who aren't as sensitive. We will definitely be back to try more vegan options!

This is the best breakfast place in Kalamazoo. It is delicious and consistent and the best service. Also has incredible gluten free options like pancakes and toast.

What a wonderful spot in downtown Kalamazoo! We reserved a table for 5 on a Sunday evening. It was so lowkey and cozy. The atmosphere was superb. Our waitress (not sure how to spell the name) Myah had personality and was VERY attentive to the table. We had some allergy restrictions which were very well accommodated (dairy free, gluten free menus). The food was perfect though! Presentation, cooked so beautifully. I will be coming back to try other menu options!

At first this place is hard to get to. It is part of a grocery store. The sign says "Market and Cafe". Once you go in you make two quick lefts. You can either take the stairs or the elevator. It is a smaller cafe but there is indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is only for parties of 2 because of the narrow patio. Everything was great at our visit. The food was delicious and high quality. The flavors were outstanding. My husband had the walleye and with corn and mushrooms. I never tasted a mushroom that good. I had a salad with chicken and that was delicious too. My husband also had the rhubarb cheesecake. He said it was the best cheesecake he ever had. Our waitress, Jeanie, who was excellent, said their chef makes it homemade from scratch. They also have items that are gluten free including dessert. The only thing that could be better was since the cafe is small their bathrooms are located in the grocery store below. The bathroom room was very clean and the market downstairs also has high quality and organic foods.

My husband and I had our wedding catered by Rykse and Co. and couldn’t be more satisfied with all of their help and service! We would recommend them to anyone!!! We received so many compliments from our guests on how incredible the food and dessert for our wedding was. We can’t thank Rykse and Co. enough for all of their help along the way. They even helped make gluten-free and dairy-free options available!!!!! Thank you for helping make our day so easy and delicious!

Today was the third time I've eaten at the Culver's near me. First time was OK. Second time the chicken cashew salad was inedible. Today the chicken breast sandwich with a gluten-free bun was not good. The bun was super soggy, the chicken was tough and I did not get any of the condiments I asked for in the drive-through. I don't think I can go to this restaurant anymore
