Risotto is delicious and gluten free. Our waitress recommended brussel sprouts for appetizers, which was 🔥

Service was great but we went specifically for the gluten free desserts and they only ok. We went closer to closing as well so they may have run out but their website mentioned lots of gf desserts and the only one available was chocolate cake which good but not great (they’re also a chain so I know options can be limited by location). Probably worth trying if you can get non-gf options.

Everything we ate was fantastic. My wife is gluten free, one of the managers marked up a menu to layout her choices. Highly recommend the house made ricotta!! A bit loud, but that’s because everyone was enjoying themselves.

Excellent spot for anyone with celiacs. Had a bird on fire with gf bread, delicious, no reaction. Please come to Virginia, Blunch! 100% will be back.

Victor was an amazing server. I have a gluten allergy and he confirmed everything I requested was actually gluten free. The food was incredible, especially the duck carnitas tamales were amazing. My boyfriend raved about the wings. The tortillas used in the tacos were superb and the passion fruit margarita was fantastic. The restaurant was beautiful, inside and out.

Delicious vegan and gluten free falafel wrap. Not too greasy or too hard like many fried falafels can be. Rice based wrap so you can get gf if you need/want that option. I feel so lucky to find this place.

Living in the South End all my life, I’ve been blessed with so many unique restaurants nearby. We even have a seafood boil restaurant! Bootleg Special’s seafood boil is amazing and the garlic noodle is a must! The drinks are super fun and the vibe, NOLA speakeasy. Love it. Yesterday was the first time I stopped by for brunch and it has to be Boston’s best brunch spot! It is great for dates, girls outing, friends and family gatherings. Let’s just say it can accommodate any occasion because it’s such a fun and unique experience. I really enjoyed their brunch menu which include soufflé pancakes, bootleg Benedict, and brunch garlic noodles. They also have MANY gluten free options. I’ve also tried their newly launched menu item, the ConeNado and my favorite was the lobster clam chowder! Super fun and delicious! This is a must visit!

Their GF muffins are clearly not GF because I had a reaction. Luckily I’m not celiac but they could really hurt somebody EDIT: their comment below is proof they don’t take this seriously. People have varying levels of reaction to gluten, it doesn’t have to be celiac. You should be looking into your kitchen rather than dismissing this review

We walked over here after we were told friendly toast was a two hour wait. We sat immediately here and the quality of food was excellent. They offered gluten free bread for celiac Annie which was a nice surprise. I throughly enjoyed the traditional Eggs Benedict. Kids menu had some great choices was well. Service was good and enjoyed that they offered quite a few unique breakfast/brunch drink options.

This life alive is the best. The food is so fresh and the staff is amazing. Tons of gluten free options and really accommodating menu for allergies.

Lara Compton

We stopped for doughnuts and got breakfast tacos and avocado toast too! The breakfast taco with barbacoa is a pretty fabulous way to start the day. And it is gluten free! The avocado toast with scrambled eggs was devoured in minutes by my kids.

A good selection of unusual drinks plus great gluten free pasties.
