Mel Griffin

Love their donuts, pizza and focaccia. Totally gluten free and delicious

Abigail Sanderson

My go-to spot for a special treat when I’m in downtown! The whole experience is delightful. I always try something new and the pecan bun is my latest favorite. Gluten free, vegan, sweet and savory options means there’s something for everyone!

Mel Griffin

Amazing gluten free baked goods

Missy Kisselman

These literally were THE BEST gluten free doughnuts we’ve ever had. My kids both have celiac disease and those were wonderful! New customers forever here🫶🏼

Kim Guttinger

Delicious brunch options!

It is one guy, running the front of house and making all the food. Everything is FROM SCRATCH. He makes the bread. He makes the three different kinds of syrup. There's a ton of gluten free stuff but also regular versions of everything too. This place is special. Make sure you go there at least once to meet the guy and eat his amazing food.

I LOVE HARLOW! As someone with celiac disease, it's such peace of mind to know everything here is safe and very flavorful! I love the Outlaw scramble so much! The portion sizes are generous and I have yet to be disappointed. I've been ordering at Harlow for years now, and when my vegan friends and I need a place to accommodate all our diets this is the go-to! Thanks, Harlow!

Peter Wilberding

Entirely gluten free and still outstanding.

Barbara Stettler

Excellent celiac-safe food!

I was shocked to see that there weren't 100% 5 stars on this place...! It is our favorite place in town-- for edible! We leave in deep NE Portland and drive all the way out for the goodies. I am allergic to gluten, soy, and dairy, and not only can I have basically everything in The store, I haven't had anything like it since realizing I had allergies (over a decade ago). Hands down beats Petunia's or G.E.M. or any of the other alternative bakeries. My partner eats all the things, and still will get a bunch for herself. We had Sinful Confections for our wedding, and no one had any idea it was gluten/soy/dairy free-- and people thought it was amazing! Anyway, if you haven't tried them-- do it!

I have been enjoying Harlow's food for 10 years, being celiac I've always loved knowing I could count on their food for a safe and enjoyable meal. Unfortunately in the last handful of months the service and food has gone downhill so significantly. We've given feedback to the manager and continued going back because we love supporting our local restaurants but after tonights meal it's just beyond frustrating. You can't count on the food being the same each time you order anymore, sometimes the veggies are almost raw, sometimes they're cooked. Sometimes the food has flavor, other times it's so bland. This evening we both ordered the soup and it was so salty neither my partner or I could eat it. The staff gives the feeling of complete apathy one way or another. I know the service industry is getting slammed right now but it's such a bummer that they've gone down hill so significantly.

Not my 1st time BUT stayed till l8 2 play TRIVIA w my friend and her hubby! My friend LOVED LOVED LOVED the gluten free choices and the Gluten Free Beer!

Lexy Valentine

My husband and I are living in Portland temporarily for his job. When we had family visit we found this place which was able to accommodate all diets (gluten free, vegetarian, etc) and be absolutely delicious. Ever since then this is my husband and i’s go to spot for breakfast/brunch. They also have the best homemade raspberry jam you can buy and amazing biscuits.

I will ALWAYS recommend this place to anyone looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in Portland. The menu? Amazing. The service? So friendly. The food? Outstanding, the jam? Well, there’s a reason why it’s called JAM on Hawthorne. A friend in my party needed a gluten-free accommodation and not only was she presented with such giant GF pancakes that she couldn’t even finish, but she was also given extra toppings to-go for her leftovers which was so sweet! Street parking is a bit scarce, but the surrounding neighborhood parking is free. Just remember to pin your location or else you might forget where you parked like I did!

Cyrus Buhariwalla

Great gluten free sandwich.

This restaurant has been around forever. My first encounter eating at a Pig 'N Pancake was at the beach. I had the gluten free pancakes and an omelet. They have the best fluffy browned pancakes I have ever had in my life. Coming back home I saw that we have this restaurant close to home! They are open for breakfast and lunch. 7:30-2:30pm. They offer tables, booths and counter seating. Just like an old fashion diner. The waitresses are nice and knowledgeable and quick with the water or coffee refills. The prices are good. And of course they have pigs in the window sills! I recommend this restaurant for a good old fashioned meal.

Nathaniel Fox

Such a cool spot! My partner and I stumbled upon here while we were staying in the area. I was so happy to see that they had vegan cheese and gluten free crust. Some of the best vegan cheese and pepperoni pizza I’ve had! We’re coming back here for sure.

Isabel Garcia

Visited Portland and when I visit I always search up new gluten free spots to try. Loved that there was gluten free options we appreciate you for that! We wanted to take our kiddo somewhere fun and I recommend this place all day for kiddos! She had so much fun. Food was good, not my cup of tea all the way but to someone else it's got to be their fave! Customer service was ok not rude but bland and really non energetic idk how to describe it lol I will still be back and I recommend others for give it a try as well!

Great news place for gluten free vegans!

Mark Loehr

Absolutely awesome!! Personally living gluten free is difficult to find safe, good food. Verde Cocina delivered. I LOVE Mexican food, but worry about flour cross contamination. Not Here! The food was fresh, hot, tasty and service was spot on perfect. I am now a new regular! Thanks!

ALICIA DECKER

I had read that place is vegan and gluten friendly and since I was staying across the street, it seemed worth a try. From the outside and when you walk inside, it seems like nothing fancy and even may feel questionable but the food was honestly delicious. I ordered the Plantville Cheezeburger and it actually tasted so good! Vegan cheese is not easy to nail but they picked the right products for sure. I didn’t realize the bun wasn’t gluten free so had a regular bun but the fries are gluten free so that was comforting. I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted for a fast food restaurant. Would come here again!

Seth Allen

They have great barbecue tofu and it's gluten-free👍🏾

Jim Lewis

We live further away and this is a little far for us, however, we find ourselves there on the weekend on a regular basis. Great Vegan food that is free from the allergies we worry about most - Gluten and Soy.

Lauria Mandich

This is my favorite breakfast restaurant! Especially since they offer gluten-free pumpkin spice pancakes!

Colin Mosgrove

Holy shit. Service - amazing. Atmosphere - so warm, inviting, and community oriented. THE FOOD? Blew my mind. The GLUTEN FREE BAKLAVA? I transcended the boundaries of my physical body when I took my first bite. I am now changed forever

Alissa Fant

I found this place from tiktok, and I was SO EXCITED to try it. I literally dragged my partner the next morning to get it. The food is SO delicious. It's like a better quality mcgriddle. I asked if the pancakes could be gluten free, and I got the implication everything was gluten free, but not 100% sure, so if you're celiac, double check. The wait was a little long and the parking is a little sketchy. The owner (?) was a little quiet and stone faced (but also FOIIINE). I would absolutely come here again, it's just a little far for me.

Jaime Loren

Great pies, and selection. Okay selection of gluten free. The smores and peanut butter chocolate pies were amazing.

Eric Parks

Nestled in the first floor of the Embassy Suites in downtown Portland, this very active hub has a lot to live up to. Serving great food and spirits with quality one would expect at much higher end establishments. It's very active and lively, so not the best option for a quiet experience, but fantastic if you want some of the highest quality for a surprisingly low cost. I ordered the frittata with potatoes, that came with a choice of toast. I requested gluten free bread, a side of sausage, and an Irish pick me up, (Irish coffee with an extra kick of espresso). All of which exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I stopped in, and I'm sure you will be too. However, expect a short wait as I'm not the only one that feels so highly of this spot.

Super friendly and cute place. Gluten friendly but NOT Celiac friendly. I got sick off of it but mostly cross contamination. Good food and great atmosphere otherwise!

Jill

Yummy food and friendly staff. The pesto bowl is fantastic! Gluten-free and tasty. Seating can get sparse at lunchtime.

Eli Robinson

Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank

Lucy Heinen

Just grateful that if you have issues with gluten or dairy (or in my case, both) but need something on the go you can actually get a burger (with cheese, just sub for their Vegan Pepperjack), fries AND a vegan shake (with WHIP if you feelin' fancy) 👏 (Heads up though, its gonna cost ya, so just hang onto your panties the first time you hear the total.) The staff is also always really cool about the substitutions and I'm grateful they have never once made me feel like the total pain the behind, even though I'm sure it probably is. So kudos to Burgerville for having enough options on the menu to cater to a pretty broad number of food issues, and the staff to provide it in a friendly way. I've also had very few issues with errors, which happens a lot elsewhere.

This place has it all! Abundant coffee choices, so many delicious pastry and cookie choices including gluten free, seating for groups and singles, adorable atmosphere, convenient location, friendly baristas!

Heidi Dirkse-Graw

I love this cafe! I used to live in the neighborhood and have missed it. Great gluten free sandwich today! I hear Jola will be offering dinner service starting Wednesday next week! I'll be returning on my next visit to Portland to try it out!

The last time we came to Hawthorne Asylum, we were having some food regrets by not ordering from here. So this was top on our list for our next visit and first place we ran to when we stopped in this morning. This food cart did not disappoint. There are so many waffle sandwiches to choose from. There’s really truly something for everyone. They even have vegan and gluten-free options. Are you looking for something sweet or savory? They have it all. We ordered the Holla and they let you customize. They have cheddar, smoked Gouda, Swiss and one other cheese. I’m not recalling at the moment but the point is they truly let you customize. The waffle is fairly thin, so it actually is something you can easily eat. I was worried the waffle would make it too thick. The flavor was phenomenal. The staff was super friendly and warmly greeted our puppy that was with us as well. We also ordered chai and some lattes and the drinks were also very good. Seating is all outdoors as this is a food cart so come prepared. There are several heated seating areas as well as covered areas with fire pits. This is a decent food truck option location, even for a rainy day, but even more magical on a sunshiny day. Dog friendly as well!! you’re craving waffles and the person you’re going is not… This is the perfect place because you can choose whichever food truck makes your heart happy.

Michael Swartz

Great food and service. Small, friendly restaurant. The menu choices aren't huge but everything we had on our 2 visits was excellent. Accommodating to gluten-free and vegetarian customers.

juliet sutherland

Outstanding. The food, the drinks, the service- all excellent. There are so many great restaurants in Portland, this one stands out. I have celiac, I felt so taken care of. Friends of ours introduced us to Lechon today, we will go back.

James Lee

The best readily accessible fast food around. Especially if you’re gluten free.

Jeff E

A must stop for people with celiac or gluten intolerance. Tons of fantastic gluten-free options.

Erin Coop

The food is fantastic and the runners are always coming around with different meats. Its all you can eat and the full churrasco experience is recommended. Almost the whole menu is Gluten-Free. Resturant is crowded and the tables and chairs are very close to eachother. Can be hard to get through the resturant without running into someone. Very fast paced and busy staff.

Tyler Sakura

Fast friendly service with good food and coffee. They also have a number of gluten free options.

Merry “Merrycyclist”

Very Casual tasty food in a bustling family friendly cafe. Plenty of seating and lots of gluten-free options.

Aissa Bennett

all vegan menu with gluten free options

Nathan Reiman

Phenomenal! And, this is the gluten-free Vietnamese place in the area that is most worth visiting.

Andrea Tucker

This place has delicious gluten free vegan burgers, onion rings, and curly fries! I had the most satisfying lunch. I highly recommend their house made black bean patty. So yummy!

Natalie Lane

One of my go to places with having celiac. The have a separate fryer for the fries and a great GF bun. Genuinely one of my go to places now
