Gluten Free Goodness

We were so pleased to see an entirely gluten free menu. Not only was the food tasty but the staff were amazing. Sophia and Delilah were so I sweet and kind and highly attentive. The ambiance was so charming and cozy. It felt like a small town cafe where you are always welcome and you are always greeted with a smile. We will return soon.

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

True Food Kitchen was a refreshing and delicious surprise during our visit to Easton Town Center. In the middle of all the classic American comfort food spots, this place stands out as a healthy and flavorful alternative—and it doesn’t sacrifice taste one bit. The menu is packed with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, which is perfect for anyone with dietary preferences or restrictions. Even as someone who usually leans toward meat-heavy and indulgent meals, I was seriously impressed. Every dish we tried was full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. It didn’t feel like “health food”—it just felt like great food. The atmosphere was bright, modern, and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to make recommendations based on what we were in the mood for, and everything came out quickly and perfectly prepared. True Food Kitchen is a gem in Easton—whether you’re a dedicated healthy eater or just want to try something different that still hits the spot. I’ll definitely be back, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a guilt-free but truly satisfying meal.

If you are looking for a good brunch spot I give this place 2 thumbs up! I had a Bloody Mary which was served with a skewer of meat cheese & an olive. The drink itself wasn't too spicy but could of had a bit more vodka in it! I ordered the breakfast BLT which was delish. I was able to get vegan cheese on it since it was available upon request. They so have a decent about of dietary options including vegan, vegetarian & gluten free. Make sure to let the waiter/waitress know. Our group all ordered something different which was nice to see it was all enjoyed.

Is miraculous too strong a word? I’ve had a gluten allergy for a few years and gave up on finding a biscuit that is this freaking good. Perfect texture, so soft and lovely in the middle. I tried a few and the cinnamon is by far my favorite, basically a hybrid biscuit and cinnamon role. Delicious enough that’s it’s my non-GF boyfriend’s favorite biscuit too.

The options for Vegan and Gluten Free is amazing! First time here and we will definitely be back. So many more items on the menu to try. Get the Bang Bang sauce to substitute the sauce on the TownHall veggie burger if you are making it vegan. Worth a stop especially since they are attentive to your food requests for allergies.

Doug King

Went here to have dinner with friends from college. There's a lot of gluten free options across the entire menu. All the entrees were nicely prepared and plated. Our server was attentive, with well paced service.

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

My wife and I will be making this a goto when we are in Columbus, which is several times a year. We were here for the weekend and had dinner on Friday. It was soo good and the atmosphere is relaxing, we went back for lunch on Sunday before heading back home. The smoked salmon is amazing, and the wife dreams about the gluten-free fish and chips. I wish we had a Pearl in Cleveland!!

Nathan Morse

Delicious food from delightful people! Also, their soup of the day is always vegan and gluten free — so inclusive!

Had adequate parking. The dining area is large and can accommodate large parties. The manager was helpful and explained where everything was. There is a salad bar with a variety of healthy items. You will pay between $10-$15 for a sandwich. All foods served are free from dyes, artificial trans fats and flavours, processed MSG's, and high fructose corn syrup, according to the menu. I had the Ruben, and it was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. I also had a salad, which was great. I highly recommend Jason's Deli if you're in the area. They do have gluten sensitive and vegetarian options. Jason's Deli is a chain resteraunt, which we didn't know until we did some research, with restaurants in 28 states. This is a family owned chain and is in the top 500 for resteraunt chains.

Marta Johnson

The food was delicious. We were walking past to a different restaurant and saw it and decided to stop in. I have to eat gluten free and they had numerous options. I had a chorizo omelette that was full of flavor. Someone else had the breakfast burrito and chocolate chip pancakes. Highly recommend, especially for those with gluten sensitivity.

Jennifer Fagert

The food and service were amazing, with many gluten-free and vegetarian options for those with dietary needs. The serving sizes are on the smaller side, which we preferred because we were able to finish our meals without being too full. The many of the vegetables that come with the main courses are shredded, which disappointed my mom. My mom slso ordered one of the house wines, which she said was not the best. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing and managers take the time to make sure everyone is enjoying the food, but we did wait around 40 minutes for our food. The atmosphere is VERY noisy and can quickly overstimulate people with sensory sensitivity, like myself. My parents typically do not get overstimulated and they even said it was too noisy. It was super easy to make reservations using Open Table! Overall, the food was good, but the atmosphere was way too noisy and we had to wait a while for our food.

I eat gluten free cuz it causes bad headaches and my body hurts like I have the flu & it causes belly issues for my daughter. I was in Columbus to meet a friend and googled gluten free bakery and this placed popped up. The staff member was very nice and helpful, explaining what was gluten free and preparation. I ordered 1/2 dozen donuts with various toppings. I got to my daughter's to share and on 1st bite our eyes grew wide and we both said "they aren't dense! They are light & airy!" They were sooo delicious!!! They are pricey (but what gluten free items isn't??!!!) but worth it to be eating a gf donut that tastes like a regular one. I highly recommend. I would not recommend for celiac because they do make "regular" flour donuts. We will be back!!!

Good place! I'm not super adventurous so my meal wasn't anything great (my fault 100%). But the menus list what's Gluten Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, and what has dairy, which was great because we had three people who fell into one of those categories.

Mallory Hudson

I've been to Columbus three times and each time I make a point to come to Bonifacio. The food and cocktails are incredible and reasonably-priced. Most of the food is naturally gluten-free and I've never had a reaction due to cross contamination.

Jabulani Young

The fact that a vegan Ethiopian restaurant exist , already is worth 5 stars. The gluten free 100% teff injera was icing on the cake for me. Restaurant is nice and clean and when I seen the bob Marley poster It confirmed the good vibes was present. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend Nile vegan to any foodie .

Emily Basham

My son and I love eating here - the food is delicious and celiac-safe! Added bonus that it's dairy free as well. Highly recommend!

Our waitress, Emily, and the cooks did an amazing job accommodating food restrictions. Vegan, gluten free. Nothing comes that way, but they can substitute and seem happy to help.

Liz Love

Love the gluten sensitive options!

We loved our breakfast on Father’s Day. Hayden gave great service. I was pleased to find both a vegetarian and gluten free menu. Gluten free pancakes were amazing!

Diane Hunter

They catered an event for us and I couldn’t have been more impressed! Every item was freshly made and incredibly yummy! Love the variety of goodies that were offered and the staff was fabulous to work with! All items were vegan and the gluten-free items were so good.

Kelley Lauginiger

Monica was so kind and made sure my order worked w my allergies. Sometimes w celiac it can be a challenge, but she made it easy and fun! It was delicious, too. Thanks, Monica🥪

Best diner in Columbus! I had this place saved in my 'want to go' list and finally found myself there. I'm blown away! The best scrambled eggs and homefries anywhere, hands down! (I'm looking at you Hang Over Easy) As if they couldn't get better, gluten-free bread is also on the menu 😋 Great service, great people, great food

Jerome Monaco

We had our best dining experience ever in Columbus, Ohio. Austin was our server, and he knocked it out of the ballpark. My son has gluten allergies, and they made sure he was safe! We've made new friends with Tom and Austin. Way to go! Everyone should visit for a great meal.

Great service and great food! Despite the fact that the restaurant was quite crowded, the service was very fast. They had quite a few gluten free options including gluten free pasta, as well as gluten free cheesecake!! I was truly happy to see the gluten free options as someone who has celiac disease! I had no reaction to the food and was feeling very good in the days coming after eating there!!!

Emily Bryant

I LOVE Pistacia Vera!! The pastries are delicious and are beautiful to look at. I have a severe nut allergy and it really stood out to me that they labeled baked goods that contained gluten and nuts. I struggle being able to eat at bakeries and it was so wonderful that they were accommodating. When I have traveled to Europe, I am never able to eat any of their pastries, so I really appreciated the extra time and effort Pistacia Vera takes into ensuring guests can safely eat their baked goods even if they have a dietary restriction. My sister who has no dietary restrictions loves this bakery as well. She says they have the best macrons in town! Whether you have a dietary restriction or not, I highly recommend checking out Pistacia Vera for some delicious pastries!

We had a birthday celebration with 22 of my female relatives at Mozarts yesterday and it was above and beyond our expectations. I asked to reserve a few tables and they put us in a private room, no charge! Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Their food selection pleased everyone - even the gluten free and vegans! I enjoyed the veggie quiche. I highly recommend this café for a quick bite, special treat (I got a strawberry marzipan), bridal shower, wedding, or any other special event.

Chrissy Tsao

Food was excellent. There is dairy in their acai breakfast bowl so be sure to specify if you want it dairy free or gluten free. Friend ordered the fish burger and loved it. She was in town for a few days and ended up there three times that week! Both pizzas was also great. Homemade ginger beer was also good as was their fresh squeezed OJ.

I came on my birthday, and was not expecting anything special, however I was very pleasantly surprised by their staff! Not only was our food great, but they surprised me with a birthday signed by their staff, some temporary tattoos and a gluten free brownie!! It was so lovely, so generous and kind. Thank you, for taking the time to make my day a bit more sweet.

Jill Barnett

Cambridge Tea House is a wonderful, special place with delicious food and a charming atmosphere. I also very much appreciate that they offer fantastic gluten-free items, such as their incredible scones.

Abbey Jo Griffith

Loved it! Went on a Tuesday morning at 10am, and there were plenty of tables open. Three of us had the buckwheat pancakes (vegan and gluten free!), and we all loved them. We also shared a pot of Jasmine tea, which was such a fun and sweet addition to our meal! We will definitely be back! Glad to have found it.

Wonderful food. Great gluten free options.

(EDIT: Literally this was the only place I went to that day besides my family's house, none of whom have this virus. Again, I RARELY write a bad review, but I'm currently immune compromised and just had the worst week with my family battling this illness because we went to a restaurant with expensive food that was nothing to rave about. And believe me, I'm mad at my family for picking the place too. I've worked in restaurants and I know how important good reviews are, but this was my honest experience and I have never been so regretful about going somewhere. I'd still put one star for the food and cramped atmosphere alone, but I am furious at their response.) I rarely write a bad review, but I had to make an exception for this because I am that angry. My family went here to meet up with family because one person is gluten-free and insisted on it. Never again. We paid $11 for a kids grilled cheese and I got chips & salsa for $9. I thought the chips would be homemade, but no, they came in a bag. If I'm going to pay that much for it, the chips better be homemade. To top off the experience, I now have norovirus and I am fairly certain I got it from here. My family nearly stayed home and I wish we had. I am praying none of my other family members get it. Please make sure to wash your hands thoroughly and often, and don't rely on hand sanitizer, which doesn't do anything to prevent you from getting norovirus. I am pretty good about washing my hands for 20 seconds & I still got it. I've never regretted going somewhere more than this place.

Can never go wrong with chick-fil-a!! Great gluten free options! Love the grilled nuggets and the fries!!! The staff is really nice!

Dough Mama never disappoints. Neighborhood staple and great breakfast/lunch/brunch spot. I have dreams about the GF Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin… it’s THAT good and gluten free. Come early… they usually run out the most popular baked goods depending on how busy the morning is but there is something yummy for everyone. Seating includes outdoor Parisian café style on N High Street (can be a bit loud due to traffic but it’s fun watching frequent + diverse passerby’s in this central heart of the southern Clintonville neighborhood. They also have a small indoor dining room and a larger outdoor patio out back surrounded by plants. That is the more intimate dining option and where I usually take friends from out-of-town for brunch.

My best friend from Cincinnati went to Lindeys as a special dinner before a concert they were in town for. Her husband was excited about ordering the lamb chops based on a referral from my late grandfather. She got the fish and he got lamb chops. She informed the server she have celiac disease but was not offered a gluten free menu. Her food was definitely contaminated. She was in the restroom sick most of the concert. Her husbands lamb chops came out undercooked. He is an executive chef. He has ran multiple 5 star restaurants and has been in the business for over 2 decades. He nicely ask the server for them to be put back on the grill. She in turn was completely rude and got very defensive. She ultimately took them back. When they were brought back out they still weren't right and didn't taste as good as he'd hoped. When my friend called the store manager the next day to inform him about the problems he was also rude and very passive. She explained about the cross contamination and asked if maybe she was given a dish with gluten, he all but blamed her for not asking for a gluten free menu. Ultimately ended up asking her if he could call her back because he was late for a meeting. Zero apologies, zero resolutions, zero cares given. I remember Lindeys being a top notch restaurant. The best according to my late grandfather. Sad to hear they've fallen off. I will not ever refer anyone to this establishment again and detour anyone to eat here especially those with celiac disease.

Great food and a great cause. We got the “Don’t Judge Me”, “Sweet Potato Bowl”, and the “Hazelnut Lavender Matcha”, which were all fantastic! They had great gluten free options, as well.
