Hannah Christian

My husband and I visited for breakfast. Very nice atmosphere. The staff was kind and helpful. The food was delicious. Gluten free options, including some gluten free waffles and coconut cake. Delicious!

My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

Brooklynn Filstrup

Super nice staff 100% gluten free!!!

Amanda Elsner

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

Juana Saldana

Service was quick and friendly. They have plenty of gluten-free options. My husband’s gluten-free meal was delicious! My French toast wasn’t my favorite, but everything else was solid. Overall, a great place for breakfast with something for everyone.

Jerica Moyer

We ordered 2 coffees some pastries and 2 sandwiches all were delicious. Some of the best gluten free bread I have had. Loved the inclusive menu!

Marimar LaBelle

Cafe Audrey has been a go-to for my gluten-free pancake needs for 1.5 years now! I only give 4/5 stars because sometimes the cakes/toast can be a bit dry. Their cinnamon sugar butter paires well with the pancakes. They're on the expensive side, but the people there are friendly and welcoming. They have really good mimosas with different flavors. I like the pineapple and the sunrise grenadine mimosas! It's less packed during the week and in the mornings before noon. On the weekends, if you go in the morning before 11, you can sit yourself. I would recommend going before noon to avoid waiting since the place is so small, they don't really have a waiting area.

Cyndi Brenner

Loved this little sandwich shop. The gluten-free bagel was so good, it made me so happy to find a great place for a quick bite with gluten-free options! Next time I’m passing through again, I will definitely be stopping by!

Theodosia Clemens

It’s a super beautiful restaurant and the food was really tasty. I was disappointed when I read and was told that the restaurant has Gluten Free Options, but that you don't have a separate gluten free fryer.. It really limited the options down to what is actually gluten free, and not just called gluten free because it has gluten free flour. Cross contamination for someone with Celiacs disease or a gluten allergy can really be dangerous. It was also very expensive for it not being gluten free product. Other than that, it was really nice and our server was sweet. CELIACS: NOT ACTUALLY GLUTEN FREE ⚠️

Candy Kuhl

The gluten-free cheeseburger was delicious! Although the French fries are not gluten-free, I opted for a side salad instead. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Alicia Mendoza

Sam P was a great server! Abundant gluten free options. Will be back again!

Nicholas Froggatt

We really enjoyed the jerk chicken wrap and the BBQ chicken salad, and left with some delicious desserts! Tons of gluten-free options, and it was great meeting the owner and her family.

V. L. Gall

Yes they have gluten free options

Jamie Himmelberger

The food was very good and they have a lot of gluten free options which is important since my wife and oldest daughter are both GF.

Scott Kelly

Extra thick cut, 98% fat free, and cured well. Best of all, it's gluten free for a person with celiac disease like me. What am I talking about? It's Kirkland's Signature Premium Extra Thick Steak Strips, of course! You can't go wrong with this food package for a car trip to a city like Indianapolis for a convention you've been looking forward to attending for over six years. It especially hits the spot after you've been waiting over 3 hours for food at a restaurant that, once delivered, wasn't cooked properly and didn't match your order nor met your dietary restrictions that you asked about (and which was never answered by staff). But don't worry, Kirkland's Steak Strips won't put you in the hospital - they're already cooked, ready and safe to eat. Kirkland's Steak Strips are so good even at 10pm, after a long evening of waiting for an order that actually got cancelled by an inept Liquid Death-chugging manager after yourself and your friends expressed concerns over your wait countless times, being told again and again that it would just be 5 more minutes until your food arrived. But you know what you don't have to wait for? Kirkland's Steak Strips. They're always ready for you, sealed in that snazzy black bag and packed with a blast of flavorful protein. Costco is there for those who care about what they eat and want to have a good time chowing down. For everyone else - especially in Indianapolis - there's Punch Bowl Social, where you can go to play a tournament of Exploding Kittens at your table and eat... well, as it turned out for me, absolutely nothing!

Gluten-Free!!! The amazingly fluffy flat pancake breading of most of their meal options is absolutely amazing....The Reina Pepeada (what I got) comes normally with shredded chicken, avacado, cilantro, and mayo. I got mine without cilantro and chose a combo deal that came with Lays potato chips and a soda (I got Sprite). The arepa had like a pound of chicken on it and very likely a whole avacado! So so good....They offered plastic silverware, but I ended up eating with my hands. How you know it was delicious. XD The Reina Pepeada itself is $12 (menu price); the meal deal was $14 (menu price). My whole price was $19 and change ($3 tip included). The Reina Pepeada is one of the cheaper options, but you can easily get out for under $20.

Trevor Darley

Absolutely amazing! The staff were very friendly, accommodating and careful with my Celiac / gluten intolerance, and the food was delicious. I attached a photo of my Rainbow Trout with chimichurri (I wrote "FISH" with my rice, which was an excellent addition to the meal)

Hailey

Reasonably priced food for ths atmosphere and food presentation/freshness. It was really good. The bacon was so yummy. They also have gluten free bread!

Samantha Koelmel

Love how Metro Diner has gluten free toast on menu! Always will come out of my way for the accommodations. Bonnie was a great server even with my 2 year old throwing a plate!

Krystal Combs

The food is amazing, and as someone who is medically gluten-free, their gluten free options taste amazing. The vibe and music is delightful and if you love plants Gold Leaf is definitely your vibe.

Spencer

Good for celiacs. They took my gluten free order very seriously and I didn’t get sick. Even watched the woman at the counter shout back in the kitchen to change gloves and be careful of an allergy

Kimberly Wiselogle

Amazing service. Extremely through and safe with a Gluten Allergy. Highly recommend the Metro Diner and Casey as a server. 😊

Melissa Duff

I love coming here. The food is great- I can’t help but get the baked oatmeal every time. The baristas are so peppy and kind. The coffee is solid and the seasonal drinks are always changing so you can try something new. Quite a few gluten free baked-goods options.

Sarah P

Coffee was delicious and went well with GF brownie. Very good brownie. They had two gf treats- maybe not a good breakfast location

Spencer King

Appreciated that this place had parking even though it was a little difficult to navigate. The space itself was beautiful on the inside and we easily grabbed a seat for 4 on a Friday night. Wait staff was incredibly attentive. Plenty of options whether we were looking for seafood, meat, vegetarian, gluten free. No matter what you order, you have you get the churros for dessert- they are unlike any you’ve ever had.

S. Zvonar

The absolute BEST staff, and I can’t go without my gluten free donuts 🍩

Tyler Ann Hopkins

First Watch is so so good! The atmosphere is fun and inviting and kid friendly. I love the Mint Mocha and Traditional Breakfast! It's perfect for dietary restrictions to as they have gluten free options and cater more to the healthy side. We drive an hour one way to eat at First Watch and it's so worth it!

Chad Schaefer

Served cafeteria style. You inform the line servers what you want and pay at the point-of-sale register at the end of the line. You receive a number and take your tray of sides and drinks to the any of the open tables in the dining room. Highly Recommend All of the Following: -- Nova Lox & Everything Bagel (Generous serving of Nova Lox. Includes slices of tomatoes, onion, capers, Greek olives, lemon wedge and Philadelphia cream cheese. Served on a decorative bed of lettuce or gluten-free bread). -- Beef Brisket Sandwich (brisket of beef, cooked with Shapiro's secret spices and rub and sliced hot to order for sandwich. About 6 ounces of meat on every sandwich with Shapiro's famous rye bread, or whatever you choosel | 85% beef, 15% rye bread.) -- Pastrami Reuben Sandwich w/ Sauerkraut (House-made pastrami piled high with two slices of German-Swiss cheese, a thick splat of Russian dressing, and sauerkraut in the middle of the meat, grilled to a golden brown, served with a half-sour pickle) -- Macaroni and Cheese (crunchy cheese top and creamy middle) -- Broccoli and Cheese Soup (Saturday Special) -- Half Sour Pickles (Crisp, traditional pickle that's not as tart or as fully fermented) -- Dr. Brown’s® Black Cherry Soda (unique dry finish of black cherries to deliver the perfect balance of crispness and sweetness. Loaded with natural-tasting cherry flavor, the Black Cherry is never overpowering and always refreshing. Caffeine free.) All of the meats, cheeses and salads are available by the pound, half or quarter in the deli. So are the bagels, breads, sauerkraut, pickles, pastries/cookies, desserts, etc.

Randy Tooley

This is an amazing coffee shop! The atmosphere just says community. It is a great place to work, study, or meet friends for a great cup of coffee. AND … they have something gluten free for the guy with Celiac Disease. Another win! I highly recommend this coffee shop and it’s my go-to place when I’m in the area.

Sherry Wilson

Has great gluten free options. Family loves biscuit and gravy and fried potatoes!

Martha Adams

Glad they have gluten free bread for the sandwiches. Delicious.

Great tasting food and excellent service. We stopped here for dinner & drinks when they opened before a show at Old National and the service was super fast, made it to our show no problem! They have a gluten free menu and no one got glutened, so safe for the celiacs out there (we informed them of the allergy & to please switch gloves).

Gordon Lewis

Stopped off the interstate. Looking for the drink to unwind and stumbled upon this bar. Pizzas look great. We tried the gluten-free crust. Surprisingly very good gluten free , cauliflower, crust... Also recommend the sausage (crumbled) topping on a pizza.. If you like a hundred cheese with your pizza, basil has the seasoning in your sauce, and high quality ingredients, you'll love the pizza too.

Ava Peterson

Love Venezuelan food & this was delicious! A must try, especially if you’re gluten free! I’ll be back :)

Brian U

The gluten free crust is fantastic. Delivery is on time. Their spicy cheese sauce is still one of my faves.

Evan VanCuren

We had a fantastic experience at the Fountain Room! Our server, Katherine, was attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. She paid special attention to my wife’s gluten allergy which we really appreciated. We can’t wait to come back and bring our friends!

It is a great restaurant with tasty options, gluten-free and dairy-free. The ingredients feel super fresh, the portions are just perfect, and the presentation of the dishes is beautiful. Plus, the service is quick and kind. I have absolutely no complaint about this wonderful restaurant - only that I have wished to tried it earlier and more times during my stay.

Darci James

Placed a $400 catering order for an executive staff meeting. The delivery was on time, packaged well, and the catering manager was so lovely. We got a taco bar, a few sides, chips and dips, and desserts. All fantastic. The portion sizes were wonderful and the quality of food was great. I had senior staff coming to find me to ask where it was from and say it was delicious. Worked out great to ensure my vegetarian and gluten free staff members could easily eat.

Laure Anne

Lots of options on the menu. The gluten free bread was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Jessica Claypool

It was Thanksgiving night when my husband and myself met some friends for dinner. I am gluten free and have a sensitive stomach so finding good breakfast food can be quite challenging at times. I got scrambled eggs which were heavenly! My husband got their dulce de leche pancakes and said they were very tasty! Our friend got berry pancakes with eggs and hashbrowns and bacon. His wife got the grand slam breakfast combo, pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and hashbrowns. They both really enjoyed their food. Our server was busy but made sure to check on us several times. The staff seemed to be working quickly but effectively. I really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to go back!

Zoe Strawbridge

Cake was my favorite growing up and I hadn’t been there in ages. I stopped in yesterday to pick up a pastry and I got the Marie Antoinette. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious. The fresh raspberries with the rose were perfect. I’d already checked out when I saw a gluten-free cake option- will definitely be back to try! It makes me so excited to see more and more gluten-free options!

Pauline Cox

My sister and I visited for the first time and loved it! Our server was attentive and very sweet, and the food we amazing! She ordered an amazing breakfast skillet that was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavour. I have several dietary restrictions but was able to find a delicious gluten free and dairy free breakfast sandwich that i absolutely loved! We both left very happy and plan to return with our husbands!!

Sarah Crawford

What can I say, Ascend is the best! They consistently have amazing coffee, food and service. There is ample seating for when you want to come and get work done and for when you just want to chill and hang out with friends. They have great gluten free options that aren’t ridiculously priced. Their house made syrups make their lattes taste delicious. I can’t recommend Ascend enough!

J Powell

I've gotten a few really good gluten free cakes from them in the past, but last week I called twice and left messages with no call back. And this week I've tried calling several times and no one answers the phone.

A. A. Akhtar

Excellent food and service. Menu items are well labeled concerning gluten free and vegan offerings.
