Soo good! We buy our bread here instead of in the stores now

Gluten and dairy free pretty much everything. I got a ton of cookies and some coconut macaroons. They were delicious. I would have tried a chocolate taco ice cream if I were at home and had access to a freezer!

As someone with celiac disease, finding safe and delicious gluten-free options can be a challenge, but Pondicheri absolutely delivers! Their menu has so many naturally gluten-free dishes, and the staff is knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions. It’s such a relief to enjoy incredible Indian-inspired food without worrying about cross-contamination. Everything I’ve tried has been packed with flavor, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting, making it a great spot for anything from a casual lunch to a special night out. If you’re gluten-free (or just love amazing food), this place is a must-visit!

This is a great go to when you’re in search of decadent gluten free items and she has several options!

Alan Kelley

By far the best gluten free baked goods I’ve ever had. My kids can’t even tell, and now my mom doesn’t have to eat something different at our gatherings.

Gluten free and vegan cupcakes were great. I'm not GF or vegan but I still found the chocolate cupcake to be fluffy and flavorful and not too dense. Too much icing for my liking but thats an easy fix by removing.

There is only one guy here who seems to be in a genuinely good mood and happy to help. I come in frequently because it’s down the street and they have some pretty good gluten free pastries and the coffee is amazing, but I have to admit the service and atmosphere is usually tense. I often feel like I’m bothering the staff.

EXCELLENT! I’m a make it from scratch with quality ingredients person. The products at this shop are made from scratch daily. That’s a BIG DEAL to me. We got the carrot cake, a cookies and cream cupcake, vegan/gluten-free chocolate chip cookies and a frappe made with coconut milk. All was very delicious and it was so hard not to buy more. Other vegan options available too.

I was extremely disappointed with the experience here. Which is unfortunate because my first visit a few months ago was extremely positive. From the extreme unprofessionalism of the servers, to the uneducated staff in the kitchen. I was served a gluten filled meal, even though I specifically requested a lettuce wrap and a gluten allergy.. when the food was put in front of me, I told the server it was not correct, and he said “you need to take that to the manager to fix it” instead of offering to take care of it. Overall extremely disappointed and will not be coming back.

The gluten free lemon raspberry it’s amazing! Thanks for my birthday present 🎁! Love the store love customer service ! Everything on 🔝

David Matz

This is a great spot to pick up groceries, snacks, or a quick meal. The store is filled with gluten free selections, Mediterranean flavors, and many varieties of treats/baked goods. I especially like the to go containers of hummus & veggies. There are many local microbrews in the cold case and bottles of wine. I was very impressed with the product selection and the customer service.

We arrived in Houston sometime around 815 and the woman at our front desk of our hotel told us that the cheesecake factory close to midnight. Rather than driving we decided to walk since it is about 10 minutes from the hotel, got there and found that they closed at 10. We’re a little hesitant as coming in so close to closing can mean bad service. That wasn’t the case, we knew exactly what we wanted to order and our waiter was incredibly friendly and patient. I requested a gluten free bun which he mentioned was no longer available but could green style it. Perfect. While this location is new to us (when living in Houston it was across the street) it’s decorated quite the same but is two story with a bar focused atmosphere below. Two hamburgers, one GF green style and spaghetti w meatballs. Gluten Free Cheesecake. Overall good experience.

Sarah Beth Raison

Cute little bakery hidden in the corner of a shopping center. We got our order to go so we could eat in the park, but the shop was clean and had interesting art and decorations. Our treats were beautifully executed and delicious. The sachertorte was a tender and chocolatey gluten free cake that doesn’t sacrifice texture for dietary restrictions.

Claudia Encinas

Found this store through door dash and I treated my daughter to ice cream there! We fell in love with it! The manager is beyond friendly, great customer service, and knows her ingredients and 🍨 combos! P.s. love the gluten free 🍨!!

Janet G

The bakery was kind enough to sell me a loaf of gluten-free pumpkin bread and lemon pound cake. The pumpkin bread was a specially moist and fabulous.

Marisol Vecchini

What a delicious surprise! My husband and I always wanted to try it, and finally we did. The place is super cute, the patio feels like you're out of Houston. Their pastries are really good, my favorite is the Orange dairy/gluten-free. The flavor and consistency of the cake are so good!!! Is perfect for tea.

Evan Gerstenblith

Very clean and well stocked grocery store. It was convenient as my Safeway 4 you card also works at Randall’s in addition to other Albertsons brands. They had a good selection of gluten free dry products, but not many that were frozen. The produce and floral sections were also very nice. The cashier was quick and accurate, so it made for an easy trip. The large Ozarka liter and 1.5 liter waters are more expensive then I had expected. If I ever need more groceries while I’m here in Houston I’ll definitely come back.

(Updated review) Drinks: Alright I will say in the past I wasn't really a huge fan of the matcha. But ordering it again I do believe they've improved. Food: The cream inside of the croissant roll was unexpected but not bad. The olive oil lemon bread is really good but dry which is expected for being gluten free. (I'd like to try more of the food next time) The atmosphere is great. Even better now that they've opened up the bar area. Service is fast, and there's a condiment* area to help yourself. I would definitely recommend coming here. (*It has sparkling and regular water. Extra tops straws and mini cups. Along with sugar packets and napkins)

They were able to put together a last minute order for our company party. Ordered a medium sheet cake and 6 dozen cupcakes. Everything was delicious and they even had a gluten-free cupcake option.

Curry Kennerly

My wife and I love that you all have a great selection of gluten free foods. Also we're happy to have Woodforest Bank right inside.

Barbara Kidwell

They have a lovely gluten free cake.

Sarah Marquez

Great service, my location that I frequent has great selection of produce, gluten free and vegan choices. I also go for the people-watching/entertainment factor!

Samantha Galvan

One of my favorite shops especially for the drive thru, frozen coffee, and service. The macarons are like a cherry on top. It would be AMAZING if their oatmeal cream pies were gluten friendly, because they look so delicious. The lack of gluten friendly options is the only downside. Of course they wouldn't be entirely gluten free, but that's ok for me (and likely many other people). The employees are always great even when you can tell they aren't at their best. They're always professional, polite, and kind. The only reason I have the atmosphere 4 *'s is the acoustics- it can get loud in there fast. But just like this rating, it's a personal opinion. Objectively, many small spaces get loud fast, so there's practically no helping it without making major changes. That's one reason I like the big patio. Still, I love this place! I hope it will be there for a long time! Edited to add: There's no changing table in the RR btw!

Amy Gardner

Excellent goodies. Always have gluten free cupcakes too

I was pleasantly surprised. I had never been inside Phoenicia Specialty Foods before today. I had no idea what it is. I walked in, and was very surprised to see that one half of the store looked like Costco and the other half looked like Central Market or Whole Foods Market. After sanitizing my hands and going through the metal entrance arch, I was greeted by fresh produce priced just slightly higher than HEB. I then saw whole animal sides hanging behind the glass window of the refridgerated butchery and smiled because I could watch the meat being freshly cut and packed. I then noticed the conveyor belt coming down from the sky with freshly baked somethings from what must be their in-house bakery and later realized that it was freshly baked pita pocket bread. I then took a closer look at the packed meat and realized that it was all marked Halal, which explained the large count of seemingly Muslim people that were in the store. By the time I was done browsing every single isle, I felt like they should have asked me for my passport at the entrance because I had been transported to an Arab wonderland with a European influence. Halal, expertly-cut-in-store meats. Fresh baked-in-store breads. I can only assume the salads and hummus may have also been made from scratch inside the grocery store. They had ratatouille next to spiced cauliflower and Croissants next to baklava. Artisan cheeses and salami, nuts, dried fruits, sweets and foreign delicacies, ghee, and gluten-free sweets and pancake mixes all spead beautifully on the shelves. The Costco-looking side of the store had everything from 5 gallon tubs of yogurt and huge rounds of cheese to pastas, sauces, spices, hooka pipes, artisan bar soaps and very nice kitchen tools. There was even a jewelry case with beautiful items. I'm someone who has previously worked at a regular grocery store, where I was disappointed to learn that many things in the deli and meat department come premade. This place is a breath of fresh air. I selected a small basket of great finds and left a very happy lady. I'd say the prices are very reasonable and fair for great quality. The staff could have looked a little happier, but overall the service was good. The bathrooms were also clean.

Chelsey Ballarte

SO easy to work with! It was great that we could get a dessert table and cake from the same company. She was able to accommodate vegan AND gluten free cupcakes, and everything was delicious! She even accommodated our wacky requests of "put DNA on the cake but make it look elegant." I am not a decorator and asked her to choose the cake stand and decorate dessert table. She agreed and it was a huge weight off my shoulders - and it looked great! We're still eating our leftovers a week later and it's still amazing. Very affordable pricing as well. The tasting went smoothly and she even accommodated us as we arrived late. I loved all the options we tasted.

Chelsea Jordan

Nice and clean! I love how all of the allergens are extremely clearly labeled on the tags of the froyo. There are many gluten free and dairy free options!

Blueberry Dad

The coffee, breakfast sandwiches, pastries and ambience were phenomenal. All baked in house. excellent attentive customer service too. Hidden gem that I strongly recommend. They also have gluten free options like gluten free pancakes, waffles and cakes. Also the cheesecake is gluten free

Alex Kaldis

When you live with several food allergies finding desserts you can enjoy without making them yourself is challenging. My husband and I found JodyCakes and decided to order cupcakes as a sample for our baby shower….. we cannot wait to have JodyCakes making cupcakes/cake for our dessert! We went with the Swedish butter cake with chocolate icing… they are to die for! And even bigger win- our family who also sampled them with us don’t have allergies and LOVED them! My allergies are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Soy Free and our cupcakes catered to all three!

Rauvan Averick

I found what I needed. Nice little gluten-free selection area.

Catrina Gilbert

I loveeee corner bakery breakfast. I can always count on it and have been coming to many locations for years. My fave is the Anaheim Panini. So glad they have bowl options for the gluten-intolerant too!

Claire Mummert

I love this Randall's. Everyone is treated well and is helpful. They have the best ice cream selection and gluten free options.

Ashley Pitlik

Lina from Rustika was amazing at helping accommodate my Celiac's Disease (gluten allergy) into our wedding cake. I can't recommend them enough!

Bubba

Love this place. I just wish they had gluten free sandwhich bread and noodles so i can have all of their menu

J Carey

Zeyad Al-Ssalmani

Olivia Quesada

Has gluten free products. Yes! Food intolerances

Jane Li

I always feel like I have gluten intolerance since whenever I ate store bought crossiant, I always get bloated. But not here !! I had two croissants ( butter and almond) from Love Croissant. I have no bloating what so ever meaning the ingredient is really good free from all the chemicals. And it tastes so delightful 😍😍

Karen P

Has many vegetables you can't find elsewhere and at reasonable prices. Also many types and sizes of rice! Many gluten free choices of pasta too!
