Javaree Walker

There are limited gluten-free options, but the other options were good!

Megan Montanez

Super cute place! Really good matcha and gluten free/vegan crepes!

Kendall Bradley

Amazing fish tacos and beautiful outdoor patio area! I also appreciate the gluten free bread option for sandwiches.

I have eaten at the location in brooklyn and this location did not disappoint! My fiancee is celiac so it is important that restaurants take the allergy seriously and prevent cross contamination, which they did ❤️ every pizza we have tried is delicious and the cheesy garlic breadsticks are phenomenal. We also love all of the cocktails. Our servers were attentive and the atmosphere was inviting

Great place to stop for a quick smoothie, juice or snack or work remotely from! I love the chocolate covered banana smoothie and their gluten free avocado toast! Lots of allergy friendly foods!

Chelsea Isaac

The best vegan/gluten-free waffles I have ever had. Plus, my decaf oat milk latte was good. Impressed with the food. There was a bit of wait on Sunday morning.

Ben Pattison

Amazing gluten free options! They were so happy to accommodate. Anand and Napoleon were so nice

We really enjoyed this restaurant! We have young kids and we are newly gluten free, dairy free, and egg free and eating out has become more difficult than it's worth. So this was actually the 1st time in 8 months that we have eaten out. The owner was so very helpful and SO patient with all of our questions! We will definitely be back!

This is a nice clean place for a flavorful coffee. Pleased to find breakfast with fresh ingredients and pastries are delicious 😋 . Gluten free options in pastries as well.

Not good at all. Somehow the cashier thought I said no meat on my Reuben. It was fixed by putting the gluten free bread back through the toasting process and then adding meat.

Gluten free pizza is safe for a celiac. Jake is a super great guy. Fantastic food and easy going atmosphere.

Food : They have a few vegan options and at least one naturally gluten-free option. Their coffee was really good. I had a red velvet latte with oat milk. The hash browns I got (and reason I gave them 4 stars) were greasy and a bit undercooked on the inside. Atmosphere: It is cute and comfy inside. My friend and I were able to hear each other talk with no trouble. The music was just loud enough to be distracting, maybe because I liked the music. I can see this place being a good place to go and work and just to hang out with friends.

"Love at first bite." Gluten-free treats were a win and a must try! Young gentleman at counter shouldn't have been laying on the glass it gave uninviting energy. We also did not get one of our treats we requested but the treats we did receive were lovely and delicious.

When you buy omelette is it two eggs? Why am I still hungry? Why didn't I get any salad dressing? I asked for gluten free and trusted my server but it sure wasn't udis. I buy udis and that wasn't it I'm not sure if this is one of those places that starts the tipping at 18% unless you override it. I thought my service was pretty good until she forgot to give me coffee when I asked for some at the end of my meal instead she just brought me my check. They weren't that busy she could have asked me before giving me my check but she seemed totally forget. I would've preferred 15% tip since I have to drive to buy coffee now.

Came in today for lunch, the lass behind the counter made eye contact and turned around to continue prepping something. We were the only people in line to order. Her coworker nudged her so we could order, she persisted doing something (he wasn't doing anything and said he couldn't help us) and then took several minutes to turn around and engage us. We waited for 10 minutes. I asked a basic question about the WF (wheat free) tags being different than what they show online (which is GF Gluten Free, and not the same thing, I'm Celiac) and she just kept saying I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what that is. It was awful. It was disheartening and I was embarrassed, we turned around and left.

We were next door having our windshield chip repaired and i waited till it was finished and decided to get something to eat. Saladelia was fantastic! I got tuna on sourdough (the softest i ever had) bread. The only downside is that they do not accept cash. But i just used my credit card. If you do not mind using your CC... Then i highly recommend Saladelia! Btw.. they have Gluten free options as well.

Bryan did an excellent job of recommending excellent gluten free food and desert! Thank you for being knowledgeable and considerate of food allergies.

| Overview + Good variety of empanada fillings to choose from with gluten free options + Texture of empanadas is fine - Size of empanada is ridiculously small - Slow & unfriendly customer service - Makus mostly serves empanadas (the rest of its menu are boring) - Not comfortable ambiance | Review After 3 years, I decided to give Makus another chance. I went to Makus in New Hope Commons, Durham in a Tuesday afternoon, and when I entered its lackluster ambiance with cheap-looking uncomfortable high chairs, I was surprised that there's not a single employee in the front. I saw about 2 of them in the back, seemingly preparing the empanadas. I was ready to order but no one was there to accept my order. I almost left Makus until I saw the bell on the concession with a notice saying, "NEED HELP? RING ME PLEASE!" I rang the bell once, no one came; I rang twice, finally, an employee! I ordered 2 beef empanadas & 1 ham & cheese empanada for a total of almost $13. There was only 1 customer before me, waiting for her order when I went. While I was waiting, the employee who was smoking earlier outside came in and just ignored me as he returned back to work in the back. At around 15 min. mark of waiting, an employee went to the front, holding a plastic with a small takeout box inside. I stood up and asked if my order was ready, the woman just nodded without saying a word, just cold and expressionless. Finally, after about 20 minutes of waiting just for 3 empanadas, the same woman handed me the plastic with my order. I thought they were busy preparing empanadas in the back. Why'd it take so long just to get 3 empanadas ready? Out of all the empanadas my girl & I have tried: Filipino-style, Ilocos-style & El Salvadorian style in the Sabor restaurant nearby, the empanadas in Makus are the smallest. Each empanada cost about $4 (a dozen for $47 - seriously, who would buy a dozen of these?). I'd be fine with this size if the empanadas are gourmet quality with astonishing fillings and flavors, but the taste was alright - nothing special, and definitely not worth $4 in our book. The good part was that the empanadas were not doughy, so the texture was fine. The sauce that came with it was alright, and the 1 small cup is just fine for 3 tiny empanadas. When I came home to eat the 3 empanadas with my girl, she asked me why I returned to Makus after we were disappointed in our first visit a few years ago. I said that I wanted to give it another chance. Now, I deeply regret this decision. | Overall Score: 1.2/5

My wife and I frequent the Fayetteville Rd. location and we generally always have good food and service. I particularly like their market hash, although their turkey burger is delicious. The Bloody Mary with a slice of their “million dollar bacon” is worth it. My wife usually gets a healthy drink, like “morning meditation,” which is always delicious. Plenty of gluten-free options. Any other dietary restrictions can be accommodated, just inform your server.

I recently came to Madhatter’s for brunch, and I loved the diversity of the menu. They have breakfast all day which is a plus! I tried the wasabi salmon bowl, with an iced Vietnamese coffee. I have zero complaints, they’ve got me hooked on the coffee now. I’ve also ordered cakes for my family member’s birthdays and they are pretty delicious. The tiramisu is a must (but then again I am biased because I love coffee). They have gluten free and vegan options for savory items and sweet items which is a must. Staff is always super friendly!

Carla Batchelor

One of our favorite local spots! Gluten-free fries pickles hit the spot! There really is something for everyone on their menu!

Compliments to the chefs at the Goat. They're true professionals, and it's clear that they take immense pride in their craft. I dined in here the other day, and I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, nuts, fruit, and vegetables. The kitchen was extremely accommodating of my strict dietary requirements and did a good job of preparing a tasty meal. *Chef's kiss*

Delicious I got the Hale salad! I am lactose intolerant and gluten free by allergy not choice. This salad was perfect! I like extra dressing so they accommodated me! I also got extra vegan cheese and vegan bacon. It was perfect! I'll be Back! I messed up the salad before I could take a good picture!

Been here twice in a week! Food (and vibes) is fantastic. They have gluten free bread; biggest hack is to make your own sandwich with the gf bread!
