Came for Saturday brunch before a museum visit. Excellent service, a kitchen that is able to accommodate gluten-free diners, and delicious food.

Safe and Delicious for Celiacs!! David the waiter was awesome, attentive and receptive to my celiac disease and needs to avoid cross-contamination. Celiacs, you can eat out again. Great atmosphere as well.

very knowledgeable and accommodating for celiac!

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

(Note: I write these reviews in part for my own nationwide business clients, for travel inspiration! I’m a financial planner -CFP®️practitioner- with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare) This cafe is located right across the street from the Eastern State Penitentiary. Stop in! It’s terrific! First, it’s a big place, with a great vibe and friendly people. It was well organized and clean. Also, it had lots of choices for good preferences and allergies. I’m gluten free and dairy free and had many choices here. They have drinks and food. I can vouch for the oat milk latte. This an LGBTQ friendly place, as evidenced by their signage and gender neutral bathrooms. I saw a lot of diversity in patrons: families, students, seniors and couples. Lots of tourists and locals alike. Price were fair and accessibility was available. Parking is a bit harder in this area but you can find street parking with some patience. Worth the time to visit!

I say this was disappointment and want to preface I love the food here and always look forward to visiting, but the last 4 times I’ve visited I’ve had issues every time. The last time I’ve visited, again a lot of things they didn’t have, but the thing I did order (the waffles) I never actually got. I waited over 30 minutes and was given no update. The person I was with got their food within 15 minutes. I was looked at now and then (avoided weirdly enough) as I waited but no one told me anything. I go up and ask if there is any rough idea when my food would be ready when I’m told the oven for the waffles wasn’t working. Again, had I been told from the beginning this wouldn’t have been as big of an issue. So I ended up just canceling the order because I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for my food. The results of my past visits have me not wanting to visit for a while, unsure if or when I’d go back. :( The first time they didn’t have the oat milk ice cream and other ingredients (multiple). No big deal, I just wish there was some note or posting somewhere to let me know ahead of time. Every time over the last 4 visits they didn’t have any gluten free bread or gluten free bagels. Now as someone who is allergic to gluten, my options for food were cut to a very small selection. Again, please post it somewhere so I know to wait to come back until I can actually order the foods I have visited to get.

Delicious place for brunch!!! Numerous gluten free options! Stopped here on a quick trip to Philadelphia and was not disappointed. I can’t remember the exact name of the dish, but it was amazing! I’m dreaming about this breakfast months later! The dish was a play on eggs Benedict and a breakfast hash. Everything was cooked well and seasoned just right! The blend of French and Lebanese cuisine is a beautiful paring! The cafe is small, but cozy. Everyone eating there was enjoying their food and were repeat customers. The service was friendly and timely. The server double checked about gluten-free items and I did not have any reactions. Street parking, but such a lovely walk.

One Shot Coffee in Philadelphia is a charming cafe that’s celebrated for its artfully-crafted coffee drinks and welcoming atmosphere. With a menu that caters to various dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options, it’s a haven for all. The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich comes highly recommended, and the oat milk latte is a must-try. Whether you’re there to relax and journal or to enjoy a casual meet-up, One Shot Coffee’s friendly staff and delicious offerings make it a standout in the city’s vibrant coffee scene.

Really wanted to like this place. My girlfriend was so excited to try the gluten free bagel. Bagels were below average. I asked for mine toasted and they did not toast it. Seriously, the only thing you had to do and it probably would have made it a decent bagel! I know that it was close to closing but come on. Feel bad leaving this review because they were nice and the store was cute.

Food is fresh and very tasty; the presentation is exceptional. They have freshly ground masa to make homemade tortillas. Lots of gluten-free options. They have an amazing mezcal selection and great cocktails.

Anya Reiser

Super careful with cross contamination!

Serena Ringer

Great service, great music, amazing drinks, and an incredible gluten-free selection. A hidden gem we will be frequenting

Little Lady

Stopped by because I needed to use the restroom, ended up with the perfect post show snack. I’m gluten free - their cosmic brownie was absolutely delightful. I hope to make it back sometime!

Larry

Spectacular neighborhood coffee spot. Great coffee and vegan/gluten free cookies!

Lovely spaces indoors and outdoors. Menu with options for vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free diets. Well selected wines. Recommend the beet salad, grilled octopus, and seafood pasta. Efficient service. Relaxed meal in a nice atmosphere. Kudos!

Taigh Anderson

Amazing sandwiches, so much flavour! Gluten free options too :)

Brian Hacker

Had a wonderful brunch. I loved the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy. The side dish of quinoa potatoes with onions and peppers was amazing. The gluten free waffles were perfect. Highly recommend

I ordered through GrubHub and selected all gluten free bagels for various sandwiches due to an allergy. When delivered the bagels appear to be the whole wheat everything bagels. The phone number listed here is not in service and an additional phone number provided by GrubHub ignored any call I made to them. Was not able to get any support from the company for their mistake.

Wow! A Celiac's dream for SAFE dining with so many available gluten free menu items. Very delicious food, drinks, and a super friendly, Celiac educated staff. I felt comfortable and excited choosing dishes prepared gluten free both times I've eaten here with family and friends. The beautiful blue corn Pancakes de Pinole topped with fresh fruit and a mug of rich spiced coffee have become a favorite for my weekend brunch! Staff was also willing to adjust meals that I wanted to try with gluten-containing ingredients and substitute with wheat, barly, and rye-free Celiac-Safe alternatives to ensure my safety and still enjoy items that would originally be off limits for me. Thanks Cantina La Martina. You are great!

Charis Cochran

Delicious food and gluten free options. Fantastic happy hour too!

Ate here for the first time and it was great! They have a large menu with so many choices of food to eat. Not much variety for vegetarian/vegan/gluten free but still better than most diners. The service is wonderful. Both the hostess and our waitress made us feel warm and at home. They have plenty of desserts to choose from that vary over time and the interior is fun!

Lina Rush

Ok I am going to give them 5 even though they forgot to give me my Gluten Free bun, There is nothing like driving home and getting comfortable with family to eat a meal. Hard to enjoy my chicken sandwich when you have no bun. I called they were kind and they will provide me with a meal I just have to stop in another time.

Rifka Miriam

Delicious and accommodating. A bit pricey for me but some nights you forget to plan ahead and this is your gluten free option.

Gaurav Jadhav

Good vegan and gluten free options. Would recommend the hobo hash and tofu scramble.

Medium-size cafe with very hip feel: vinyl records are sold right downstairs, and images of records are plastered around the walls. It seems more of a place to catch up with friends over studying / getting work done. Atmosphere: Came in at around 12pm, and felt on the louder, chattier side, although there were a few people inside doing work. The space was quite full, with maybe 2 or 3 tables still empty out of 10-12. Gave off a nice, "artsy, hipster" vibe to me. Food: I enjoyed the coffee here, and they provide gluten-free options for pastries. They servers were very friendly! Side note: The bathroom is very small and cramped! You can't really fit in much else other than yourself. Overall: 4 / 5 - good atmosphere to hang out with friends, and maybe check out some of the records downstairs, but probably not to go and do work.

Best buffalo wings in Philly, possibly all of PA. 10/10 Technically not gluten free if fried in a shared fryer but I’ve had no issues. Diet Coke 1/10

Peter Melgren

Great spot. Gluten free blackened chicken Alfredo is my wife's favorite and I get something different every time and have yet to be disappointed.

Hannah Feldman

Such a fantastic and cute coffee shop! They have classic coffee shop drinks as well as a few brunch-type menu items. The space is clean and there are plenty of tables to sit and eat or work at. They do carry gluten free bagels as well as have multiple vegan options. The food is really great, I recommend trying the cream cheeses. The staff is incredibly kind and the owner is a very sweet and welcoming lady. The space is very cute and welcoming. Go support this local coffee shop!

I love Stockyard Sandwich my favorite sandwich is the Braised Beef $11.00 that sandwich would win a Michelin Star it is that good, try it, you will enjoy yourself, Stockyard is a clean restaurant, I love the hand made tables, the walls were hand painted, the atmosphere is is very comfortable, they serve gluten free, vegan food, and regular food, they close at 8:30 pm, you may eat in or take out, as for me Stockyard is one of the better restaurant's on 15th and Spring Garden.

I would go here every sunday with my mom and or friends and we would look forward to getting a coffee and baked good everytime. Very kind staff, very clean place & the best coffee. La columbe has a great atmosphere and great vibes. Also has gluten free options which is great because my mom is gluten free. Can’t wait to be back once they re open! My favorite coffee shop.

LaToya White

I’m gonna give this place 5 stars i came when they first opened cuz its located close to my house and i work from home but i had a very strange interaction with the staff that kept me away for a while. I’ve since been back and i don’t have that same weird interaction a second time, friendly greetings, good coffee and cookies. My favorite order is an oat milk latte and 2 chocolate chip cookies. The cookies are also gluten free if that matters to you.

Wonderful staff! The manager on Sunday morning was very accommodating and friendly. Very little vegan with gluten free options.

Lauren Kendzierski

Wish there were more gluten-free options. But otherwise great spot.
