Will Beyreis

Must visit in Portland! Rich flavors and hearty portion in the arepa. Coffee hits the spot too. Very friendly people! And all gluten free. Celiac safe 👍

David Guillen

This place is amazing!! The food was incredible, so delicious! They have a dedicated gluten free section of their kitchen. The staff was very helpful and friendly, also very accommodating and knowledgeable bout food allergies.

Eliot Powers

It’s nice that they have so many gluten free donuts, but none of the donuts, gluten-full or gluten-free, were anything outstanding

Keith Andrews

Great selection of vegan and gluten-free donuts. Definitely recommend the lemon zest or holy cannoli donut.

CC McGinn

I literally ordered 2 stacks of the blueberry gluten free pancakes and neither survived. And these were not skimpy stacks. They were the perfect treat to have on my birthday. Delicious coffee and so many other yummy pastries and gluten free options! I would go here every morning if I lived in Maine! Absolutely incredible!

Chin Down

Great food and atmosphere, kid friendly, gluten free options for most the menu.

Kris Hanna

Lovely stop for a hearty breakfast, bring your appetite. The staff are super helpful and friendly. So many delicious choices on the menu. I’m gluten intolerant and they easily answer my questions. It’s always nice as a gf person to have multiple options to choose from. I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. Heavy on the oils though and to be fair I prefer a red sauce on mine. My husband had the special which was lighter on the oils but a big meal. He loved the fried artichokes. We sat at the bar right away and by the time we left there was a lot of people waiting for tables outside. Coffee was great, fresh & I liked that she asked if we preferred a single or double shot. Over all we’d go again in a heartbeat to this small intimate restaurant

Becca Olach

Cool Portland hotspot, has lots of seafood options. I am gluten free and had some choices there! Staff is accommodating to allergies!

syd perry

Has the friendliest staff, so much seating and delicious food. Has gluten free pastries and gluten free bread for sandwiches! Also has some vegan options! If you’re in the area definitely stop in and if you are willing to travel, it is so worth it!

Shannon Murdoch

We were so excited to find this breakfast spot with gluten free options! The mini waffle with poached eggs and hollandaise was a delicious treat!! Home fries were gluten free, grilled just right and oh, I can’t even explain how great the California omelet was! Came hungry, left satisfied, and have leftovers too, all for a reasonable price. We will certainly be back! Thank you, Darcy, for a great experience.

Molly McCown

The best tasting espresso I've had in Portland - don't sleep on this! Homemade corn tortillas and knowledge of Celiac. Cocktails are unique, staff are chill, and tacos are delicious. Thank you for the quality experience!

Ian Jamieson

The Porthole was very gluten free friendly. There were options on the menu and staff were very aware of celiac issues. My wife and I enjoyed eating here. The seafood was very fresh.

Scott Strutner

Looks like a great sandwich and donut shop. Gluten free bread, but not donuts.

Denise Canabrava

Perfect place for a super delicious and strong Coffee from Java )! I love experiencing new coffee flavors!! And my breakfast was such a delicious Sandwiches on gluten free wrap!!! The only detail that I don't really like is the "to go" format of the meal! BUT... everything was so delicious that it took a backseat! I highly recommend @Coffee ME!!! 👌🏻

CStraight

It's an absolute treat to have breakfast with gluten free toast! I had the veggie omelette and it was delicious with a drizzle of their local hot sauce. My husband had the eggs Benedict Florinte and the eggs were perfectly prepared. It was a full house but the staff kept the hot coffee flowing. The kitchen was also fantastic turning out the breakfast dishes quickly. When we left, there was a line of people waiting which is always a sign that the food is worth the wait.

Anastasia Nor

It has been a while since I have been to this classic Old Port diner and man it’s nice to be back. Marcy herself is gone (which some might feel is a good thing…), Mandy was friendly and wonderful to chat with between serving up orders. Not a place I was expecting to find a gluten-free option, but she was very pleased to make me a hot GF cinnamon roll (from BamBam Bakery!) with cream cheese frosting made fresh on the spot. Will definitely be back and I look forward to bringing my kids.

Tara Langford

Delightful array of sandwiches, both for breakfast and lunch. These bad boys are hefty and will fill you up. The flavor profiles are savory and the offering of gluten free bread doesn’t suck (which is hard to come by). Hands down probably the best sandwiches I’ve had! Thank you. :)

Amy Flower

A cute cafe that has nice coffee drinks and a delicious cranberry chicken sandwich on gluten free bread.

Serina Risbara

We hired Bird & Co to cater our 100 person wedding and we were so impressed. From the initial inquiry to the wedding day, Emily was very responsive and willing to answer any questions we had. They were even able to accommodate my celiac guests with most of our menu options. Our guests were raving about the food, the staff were all friendly and we couldn't have been happier! Would definitely recommend.

Susan Lavertu

Great gluten free options and breakfast sandwiches.

syd perry

Has the friendliest staff, so much seating and delicious food. Has gluten free pastries and gluten free bread for sandwiches! Also has some vegan options! If you’re in the area definitely stop in and if you are willing to travel, it is so worth it!

Jason O'Toole

My girlfriend has a knack for finding these amazing little places no matter what town we are in - damn good coffee and wonderful baked goods including gluten free items.

Casey Durocher

I take my dead beat husband timothy yesterday to juice store we get gluten free fruits dish Very good

R S

Growing up in NJ, diners were everywhere. This one in Portland doesn’t disappoint when it comes to a well rated diner for me. Service is good too! Had a broccoli and cheese omelette, they have gluten free bread but opted for no bread today. Coffee was hot, fresh and tastes good!

Richard B

Great place in Portland for a wood fired bagel and coffee. We researched Forage Market before and weren’t disappointed! The gluten-free sandwich and wood fired bagels were very good. Make sure to arrive early as they are freshly made and especially on weekends can run out fast.

Suzy Reynolds

I got the shakshouka special — so so yummy. I have celiac and they had lots of gluten free options and our server was very knowledgeable about cross contact. They have GF toast for me, too:)

Mallory Foran

This is a small little restaurant with a definite New Orleans feel (hot and sticky). Servers were very friendly and food came out quick. Staff was knowledgeable about their gluten free options including the fact that there is a chance of cross contamination due to shared cooking surfaces. The GF jambalaya was great, and the cajun jalapeño burger was loved by my non-GF husband.

jenn jimmo

Food was unbelievable. So fresh and flavorful. Interesting menu with lots of options. Server was helpful about gluten allergies. Everything was delicious. We came with our dog and sat outside, great meal.

Enigmah Archer

I have been a few times now. The first day with the new owners I had a waitress who seemed clueless, and when I went back, she was gone. The waitstaff since then has been wonderful! I am celiac and can't have dairy, but I have gotten the burger with a side salad. It is simple and delicious! I have gone with different folks each time and we have eaten our way through much of the menu...nothing has been mediocre yet!

Abigail Gustafson

Adorable, fun, aesthetically pleasing little spot! Also, one of the best cappuccinos I had in a long time. I wanted to buy everything! It makes you happy just being in there. However, we weren’t overly impressed with the food- the grilled cheese was bitter and the servicing of burrata was on the small side. The ambience made up for it though and I will be returning. Fabulous selection of gifts, food and wine - an absolute delight. Gluten free bread options available for $2.

robert Cavagnaro

Great Bread, bagels, scones, & some cakes Great Lunch, They need more Gluten free baked products! The demand is there! Everyone should eat gluten free! 🤗

Carly Merluzzi

We got to try the coconut, açaí, and pitaya based. The coconut was my favorite. All of our bowls were amazing, fresh fruit, gluten free granola, and no toppings were skimped on. And the service was fantastic!

Jennifer DeVeaux

Small, quaint spot with homemade bagels and english muffins. Friendly staff, quick service, and a variety for breakfast sandwiches along with many different bagel options, iced or hot coffee, and "fuel" drinks. Gluten free options available as well. Found this place off the beaten path as we were traveling and well worth the stop!

Bill Lakenan

Great selection of coffee drinks, breakfast foods and juice smoothies. Want gluten free or vegan? They've got you covered. Pleasant staff, too.

alecia ford

Best meal of the trip! I am gluten-free and was completely safe! My entree was duck and it was some of the best I have ever had. Even the charcuterie board had complimentary flavors beyond what most offer. Do not miss this innovative and delicious food in search of a mediocre lobster roll!

Tamar Friedman

Very nice bakery. Everyone enjoyed what they were eating. I cannot eat gluten but enjoyed a delicious and light coconut macaroon.

Chris Slesarchik

A welcome addition to the neighborhood! Royale is a great place for lunch with quality smoked meat sandwiches and a few other vegetarian and gluten free options. Milkshakes are great, too!

Joe O

Friendly service and they have gluten free brownies!!

Beth Whitaker

Super nice staff and excellent food! We were a party of 4 to celebrate a birthday at lunch, arriving from 4 distant locations, and were not disappointed. We all had the delicata bahn mi, one special with gluten free bread, and all our plates were empty (except I didn't have enough room for all the incredibly good fries). If I lived closer I'd try the whole menu!

AJ Harvey

Best Subway! They have gluten-free bread! Great, friendly staff!

alecia ford

The front desk of our hotel thought this was "toward the suburbs" but the food and atmosphere make it well worth the whole 10 minutes it takes to get there! Great temperance drinks and delicious options for gluten-free eaters like me!

Sabrina Lois

Gluten Free adapted food The waiter was super friendly, the food was delicious and the place was beautiful. When we arrived it was empty, so we sat near the bar and it was perfect, very romantic and cozy. Suddenly it started to fill up with people who were probably staying at the hotel, and they ordered drinks and shouted a lot, so our romantic dinner turned into a place for drinks. That's why we tried to have a quick dinner and leave. But otherwise the place was perfect, and the quality of the food was really good. The tuna was spectacular! I recommend the lemon ice cream with cinnamon!!

Kristen Flynn

Was so excited to return to Chaval for dinner after COVID prevented us from eating out. Our cocktails were complex and delicious. The deviled eggs were fantastic. The pan con tomate was good but too salty. Our second courses of beets and shrooms were amazing. The star of the meal was supposed to be steak frites, which turned out to be very disappointing and almost inedible. The NY Strip was tough and stringy. When this was brought to the server's attention, she said nothing. When the bill came they gave us an order of churros which seemed like a kick in the gut as the two orders of steak came to $74, and one of us is gluten free so couldn't eat the churros, even if we wanted to. Chaval is a high end, reputable restaurant and to have this handled so poorly is upsetting, disappointing, and kind of insulting. Desperately wanted it to be a great meal and night out....

Mary Atala Lessard

Artemisia is one of Portland's very special small, privately owned cafes. What I appreciate is the friendliness of the wait staff. They are exceptional. The atmosphere is warm (big windows allowing for lots of sun), comfy booths, plants and art makes it very unique. The food is delicious and hot when you get it. They use natural ingredients, have vegan choices and gluten free english muffins. I love it for breakfast. My friend, who is very fussy, likes it too. Years ago, I had an office in this neighborhood, Artemisia is quiet, quaint and yummy.

Jennifer

Good coffee.. Hash browns are gluten free. I wish they would create a gluten free donut option (in sure others would too)

Deborah Moffett

Best acai bowls on either coast: fresh fruit, acai, Maine sourced gluten free granola, everything made to order. The coffee choices are excellent as are the baristas. Great little cafe to meet up for coffee, breakfast or lunch.

Kathy Geringer

We love this restaurant! The entire menu looked so good! I am gluten free and enjoyed masa pancakes! The restaurant is very clean and the decor is great. The staff was very inviting. Definitely worth your visit.

Travis Nunez

Came to Portland, ME for my birthday found this quaint restaurant by the hotel and had to check it out. Food is fantastic! Good portion sizes and very friendly staff. Plenty of options and gluten free choice also. Highly recommend. Also, their home potatoes are phenomenal.
