Amber Easterling

Crepe Heaven for anyone with celiac!! All savory crepes are gluten free and sweet crepes can be made to be gluten free!! I got the ham and cheese and it was amazing!!

Kristine O'Brien

What a delicious meal!

Nautia Symonne

One of the few, if not only gluten free and vegan restaurants in the area. I will definitely be back. My pesto sandwich was awesome. The cookies are a hit too 🙌🏿

Amber Easterling

This is always one of my favorite places to visit in Charleston! They have a large gluten-free menu and take any allergies very seriously! The food is always amazing! Lunch or dinner, it’s always so good!

Kyle Holmes

An all around spectacular meal. First the service was first class from the greeting and seating to the table service. Every single dish was fantastic but the Beef Carpaccio and BBQ Tuna really stood out. Great selection of Gluten Free options on the menu, very accommodating. Thank you for the wonderful visit, can't wait to return.

Amber Easterling

This is an amazing restaurant! Great for a date night! They offer gluten-free pizza cooked in a separate oven and GF pasta cooked in separate water. We got the prosciutto board with gluten-free bread and the Spicy Soppressata pizza. It was absolutely amazing!!!

Philip Mager

Great sandwiches. Great atmosphere. Gluten free options are fantastic. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Crystal Coney

Amazing Gluten Free pancakes! Always pop in when I'm in town! 🫶🏽

Katie W

Surprisingly quick to fulfill orders. They have a gluten free baguette that was good and great options to create your own salad.

Erin Grant

Service was friendly and quick, espresso tasted great - not too burnt - and the gluten free waffle was delicious! The interior left a little to be desired, but overall it was a good little shop.

LaSandra Teixeira

Ms. Rose’s Fine Food is a treat in Charleston! The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommend the avocado burger with the gluten-free bun, which was sturdy, flavorful, and a perfect match. The meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans was another standout. Don’t leave without trying the brisket fries—mouthwatering! The restaurant is spacious, the staff is warm and welcoming, and our waitress Raven gave top-notch service with great recommendations for us first-timers. We’ll definitely be back!

Rachel Walls

Love this spot as my coffee stop before church every Sunday. They offer a good selection of vegan and/or gluten free options and excellent coffee and espresso drinks. The seating areas are aesthetic and peaceful, also.

Amber Easterling

A must for breakfast or brunch! They have a gluten friendly menu if you ask. They have a dedicated cooking space and fryer for GF food and they offer GF bread for burgers/sandwiches. The French toast is amazing!!

Isabella Perez (Bella)

I ordered the fried bologna sandwich on gluten free bread. The gf bread was good. The quality of the food was delicious, although everything is overpriced given sides are à la carte. I got the home fries as a side, and the portion size is very small for what you get. With the price, lack of quantity, and lack of gluten free options, I wouldn’t recommend. Menu items say cornmeal, but they also use flour, so not gluten free…disappointing.

K. Paz

We did 2 gluten free and 1 regular biscuit. These were the BEST Gluten Free biscuits we've ever had! The regular biscuit was absolutely amazing also. We got lucky and did not have to wait so long in the line but noticed many were coming back letting the staff know that their order was wrong. We made sure we checked ours before we left and it was also wrong. They threw away our GF ones and remade them. After trying how good the biscuit was, I went back to get another GF one but was told there were no more GF left. I was upset since I am not local and really wanted another one, if they would have gotten the orders right the first time, there would have been 2 more GF biscuits and many others they threw out before ours. I decided to buy the GF mix to bring back home.

Kataretya Jenkins

Delicious! Simply delicious! Affordable seafood with high end taste profile. Excellent service with Vladislav. That secret sauce is dangerous!!! They also have a gluten free and a vegan menu for those who like options!

Laura Ritter

It was busy, but loved the gluten free, dairy free pumpkin cake, green tea and coffee.

Cary Jeffrey

They have gluten free bread... yay. Everything else is just good deli...sweeet!

Billy Blake

It's difficult to find great delis in the south, but this is definitely one of them. They offer a wide variety of options, including Gluten Free bread. They are open for lunch and early dinner, and there is ample parking available in front of the deli. Another great aspect is that they have plenty of seating. Overall, it's a fantastic deli that ticks all the boxes.

Heather Brown

Always a fabulous meal. Lots of gluten free options, and they’re clearly marked on the menu. The dishes are continually changing, and I love that they update the menu for the day on their website by noon. It’s a very homey and relaxed atmosphere. It’s small enough that you don’t feel crowded and you don’t have to yell to the others at the table to converse. We’ve been several times, and will definitely continue to go.

Amber Easterling

They offer 3 GF desserts. It was really hard to see the peanut butter chocolate cupcake and not be able to have it, but the chocolate mousse tart was delicious. It’s a great place to pick up dessert!

DareToAim Photography

Best breakfast/brunch we’ve had in Charleston. Would highly recommend. Service was great & fast. Our waitress Amelia was kind & attentive. We loved the vibes & just what we were looking for. They also had gluten free toast which was an added bonus for me.

Angel Smith

Their gluten free bread is delish. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The outdoor seating was very relaxing. A great hidden gem downtown for some good food.

Meg Manley

Fabulous meal, with lots of choices for everyone in the family - this included a very picky eater and someone with celiac (great burgers on GF buns!)

Shawna Brown

I was in town with a dear friend for a conference, and got to celebrate her birthday with dinner. I called the day of to see if they could make her feel special. The hostess offered a slice of cake while being sung happy birthday. I told her my friend is gluten-free and wouldn't love being sung to. Sylvie got on the phone and told me they have a gluten-free dessert, agreed to put flowers on her table, and told me the manager (Brian) would make her feel special. Boy, did they exceed my expectations! When we checked in, they immediately catered to us. Brian was waiting at the hostess stand and introduced us to our server (Andrew). We had a lovely table by the window facing the park' including a small but classy vase of flowers. The water in the vase had a tinge of green, making me think they were originally used elsewhere in the hotel. LO V E multi-purpose ingenuity! Avoided extra cost to me (and them) while meaning so much to us! The ambiance is elegant yet simple. The piano player was great! Live piano was a plus! The room wasn't too loud, could still enjoy him. Noise level wasn't distracting. Andrew was knowledgeable about the menu, covertly attentive, and very courteous. The restaurant offers a good variety of gluten-free options (clearly marked on the menu). We finished dinner, I caught Andrew's attention, and he surprised my friend with a candle in a piece of gluten-free chocolate cake. Delightful. The experience was one of the best I've had (and I am no stranger to fine dining). Oh yea, and the food was to die for 😅 ( we shared a pear salad, she got the salmon, and I enjoyed the braised short rib pasta). To the staff: You all were phenomenal. I'm sure many deserve thanks, but specifically Sylvie, Brian, and Andrew. You all helped my friend feel very special. I can easily say that was the best dining experience I've had. Sure, I enjoyed the food, but I've never had anyone coordinate with such care and attentiveness. Thank you.

We came for breakfast and tried a bit of everything. Honestly, we were not impressed with the food or the coffee. It was really good that gluten free bread was availble as one of us was gluten intorleant, so that's super. However the watermelon salad lacked any flavor and the chicken waffles were OK (waffles were a tad soggy). Overall, there are some improvement areas in the food department.

Matthew Madore

Brandon B. gave us outstanding service. My wife has multiple food allergies (Gluten and Dairy) and they were extremely accommodating! There were 5 of us and we ALL thoroughly enjoyed our experience. She crab soup was voted best in the city by everyone in our group (and we had a lot while in Charleston) and the up charge for the smoke experience in a cocktail is so worth it! If you’re vacillating between what restaurant to eat at…GO HERE!!!!!!

Jessica Hart

What an amazing experience! I loved everything and they cater to gluten free needs.

Thomas Izzo

Great brunch spot. Been here a few times now enjoyed it ever time. Great menu, great food, great service. Highly recommend. Oh and great gluten free menu available.

kari horowitz

The gluten free options are gluten free toast and allegedly oatmeal and granola. The food is delicious here but they don't have any gf pancakes or French toast which is what our 6yo with celiac really wanted. All cooking happens on same surfaces as well. Frustrating that the options were pretty limited.

J Brown

Quirky, hole-in-the-wall sort of breakfast place. Absolutely DELICIOUS crepes, including the gluten-free variety. This was one of the best breakfast places we had while in Charleston, and I highly recommend. Street parking was easy and close.

Eric Dempsey

if you’re looking for the best chips and guacamole in town, you gotta check this place out! The guacamole is incredibly fresh and packed with flavor, and the warm, crispy chips are perfect. Honestly, it is the best I have ever had. While I am not sure where they source their ingredients, you can truly taste the quality. The owner is a total sweetheart, making the whole atmosphere of the place very welcoming. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers, which is so nice. Do not skip the tacos—they are just as amazing and definitely worth a try! They are also extremely considerate of dietary restrictions. My friend with celiac found plenty of options, making it very easy for us to order. They have a fantastic selection of nonalcoholic beverages that pairs perfectly with the food. All in all, this spot has won me over, and I cannot wait to go back for more deliciousness. Highly recommended!

Angel Smith

Always great service and food. Family friendly, gluten free options and they have their own parking lot which is helpful for locals who want to get something to eat while downtown. One of our favorite spots 😊

Ashly Dennis

East Bay Deli is one of the best sandwich shops in the area. They have a lot of options for someone gluten free. My children are very picky and they love eating here. I also live the atmosphere and decor. It makes for an interesting visit here. They also have outdoor seating which is nice. Their parking lot is big enough to accommodate their business

Alison Jackson

This is a small food stall at the Charleston City Market. We were looking for a place with gluten-free breakfast options, and we're so glad we stopped! The gluten-free biscuits are delicious. My non gf husband enjoyed his sausage, egg & pimento cheese as well. There is very little outdoor seating, so be prepared for the possibility of taking an order to go or eating standing up.

Ribbon Chasing

All the things you expect in southern hospitality and food. We had a big group and we all fit comfortably in our seating. Food came quickly and drinks were good. As expected most food was fried and few pork free, vegan or gluten free options.

Larisa Sondenaa

We were in town for our 10th Wedding Anniversary and this was the place I was most excited to visit. Our waiter , James, was amazing. I appreciated the attention to my husband's gluten allergy throughout the meal. The meal was paced perfectly and the food was very good. I also highly recommend the coconut cake! The only negative that we don't have one of these back home!

Robert Hagen

Claims gluten friendly, absolutely is not

Marcello Forconi

This is a great little place for your morning coffee and pastry. And one of the few with gluten-free options: their GF cinnamon pecans muffins are delicious!

Susan Scott

Limited selection, but very varied menu. Works with gluten sensitive diet.

Starke Farley

Had to wait a while for brunch on Saturday, but it was worth the wait. The service was excellent, and the food was even better. Great selection of beer and booze, and even had some Gluten Free options that were necessary. Highly recommend.

Shanya Matthews

Stopped to grab take out for Gluten Free options. Loved the shop, the people and the food. Gluten free never tasted so good!!

Amber Easterling

Had lunch here after a recommendation. It’s not a large place and the menu is not very big. I ordered a GF pizza and they noted that I had an “allergy” so that it would be cooked on a new pan and they would change gloves and take extra precautions. It was large and could definitely have been shared.

Amber Easterling

They mark GF items on their menu, but not all are celiac safe. Their chips and fries are cooked in the same fryer as the breaded onion rings, so are not safe if you have celiac, but may be ok if you’re gluten intolerant. Most tacos can be made GF by substituting corn tortillas. And their birria tacos can be made without being fried or they can pan fry them if you ask. Burritos can be made into bowls. I honestly had an amazing lunch here and would come back. Just sad I couldn’t have their chips and salsa.

Freckles17

Truly the Açaí bowls are dynamite, and that is the reason I keep coming back. But the service isn’t great, there drive through bell seems to be broken often, so I have sat for 5 minutes + multiple times before I have had to park and go in. I am also allergic to gluten and have had a couple of times where they have mixed up my order with someone else and given me gluten granola or put my name on the wrong one. Now that I double check every time so I don’t get sick, they will give me attitude and not taken it serious. Like I said the food is delicious so I will keep coming back for the product, but I think management could address some of the service issues.

J Fost

Excellent Christmas dinner at Granite and the Fox. It's a fun lounge-style atmosphere, great waitstaff. The food was quite good, not exactly excellent, but very good. The swordfish was nice and juicy, taleggio pizza was nice, the ravioli was my favorite and very delicious. Also nice NA selection. It would have been nice if there were more options for vegetarian, gluten or dairy free, especially in the deserts. Overall great meal!

S Jarman

We stopped here for Art-O-Matic. I'm gluten intolerant and they had several options on the menu. I had the omelet and it was great, just missing some gluten free toast with it. My hubby had the club and really liked it. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful. The bartender...not so much. It was super busy, and getting water and drink refills was our only issue.

Paige Jackett

The service was absolutely amazing! The hostess, Tatum at the door was so welcoming. My server, Hallie was so helpful with navigating gluten free options. My best friend is vegetarian so we are hard to accomadate but Hallie was bubbly and happy to help! She helped us find the perfect dish for both of us to enjoy. The live music was astounding! Nothing compares to the craving I get for port of call!

Laurie

The Pad Thai was so good. I am gluten free and they took care of me. The server was very knowledgeable about gluten ingredients and I appreciate that. It took 30 minutes to get seated but there was only one young man taking care of everything. It was worth the wait. We will be going back.

Jeanne Sutton

Great for quick grab and go breakfast. Have a few gluten free options. I had the hashbrown egg bake and it was good. The coffee wasn't my favorite 🤷🏻‍♀️
