This was a truly amazing meal!! Fish of the day was Halibut and prepared gluten free. It was so good. My son had gluten free Fish & Chips - first time and is hooked!! We saved room for dessert of a cheesecake that is something we will get again this weekend! Of course gluten free!! Amber was so kind and took great care of us! The place is cozy and great atmosphere!! We will eat again there soon. **To note- my son and I both have Celiac Disease and had no issues. Truly gluten free!!

Such yummy sandwiches! Made GF with a biscuit that didn’t crumble or taste dry

Hannah Young

The gal at the register was great. Kind, informative and patient, also fun! My biscuit was great- so thankful for a good gluten free biscuit!! The sandwich was tasty and I wish I could grab these more often. Outside, you order at the window and wait for your to-go order. Not really seating- which I didn’t realize in advance.

Brownie, with their version of nut-free peanut butter, was INSANELY good. Loved this place. Dropped some $ on a selection of their goodies. Nothing has disappointed *chefs kiss* If you are in Seattle, and want/need gluten free, go here.

Key Kuran

Service was nice, coffee was good but to people who eat gluten free I'd skip this place. Got the gf cinnamon rolls and gf pecan muffin both were bad. I've had really good gf before and this was a mixture of dry with dense and bland, not good. Flavor was good on the muffin but it was so dry. The non gf items looked good but if you have a gluten intolerance or celiac I'd find somewhere else to eat.

Honestly was pretty disappointed in this place. Had been thinking of checking it out for a while with my partner who has celiac disease. Our server was great, knowledgeable and able identify gluten free items and get us gluten free chips. First off the restaurant seemed fairly busy and our server seemed to be the only one working the floor plus someone behind the bar. She did a great job considering how much she had to handle. Our three margaritas took 15+ minutes, though they were delicious. I had the blood orange flavor. For dinner I had the beef in chile Colorado burrito and it was FULL of rice and pickled jalapeño, I assumed there would be sauce/beef visible inside but I only found a small amount of meat closer to the center. My partner had the pollo asada plate and enjoyed it though also felt it took very long for what we got. Overall I appreciate the attention to gf/celiac options but I don’t think I will be returning here considering the price and quality.

All day and every day yes. I told myself I was going to be adventurous and not order their signature paella, but I ordered the paella 😀 The flavors and seafood was cooked to perfection, and I had enough to bring some home as well. I only wish that I had that char rice/ socarrat though there was like a little of it around the top of the paella pan. The wait staff was so attentive and recommended a delicious red (since I asked for red and enjoying their sangria) to go with the paella, so when she said it also tasted good with the gluten free cake I had to say yes. She spoke to me of her dreams of getting her sommelier certification- which I think she's already there!!

Origins Unity LLC

Great cafe in belltown! Organic and super clean ingredients. The owner was very nice and helped me order for dairy free. They have many gluten free and vegan out also do halal meat. Service was excellent and the atmosphere very comfortable. Plenty of seating and a good array of healthy options on the menu. Plenty of street parking and easy walk from public transit. Bathrooms available.

Stephanie Brown

Great gf options! Would come back

Hales Emerson

A few things: 1) loved the affirming environment and good vibes. Happy pride! 2) the wait for food was SIGNIFICANTLY longer than what we were told/what the sign said upon arrival. We even ordered ahead. Instead of 30 mins, it took over an hour to get our food. It was good, but not good enough to take that amount of time to make... 3) the small amount of seating outside consisted of rickety little chairs and tables, which are great for smaller folks, but not inclusive for bigger folks, or those with disabilities. This was disappointing. 4) the gluten free biscuit my partner got was like a dense, starchy, hockey puck. Do not recommend. I think there are definitely some improvements that could be made to this restaurant's operations.

Olivia Walliser

I was in Seattle for a conference and came to Tidal twice because it was so good. The oysters, fish and chips, cocktails, and even desserts were phenomenal. Clearly, because I had to come back for their weekend breakfast (not pictured because I ate it so quickly). A special thank you to Veasita, George, and Manty (I apologize if I misspelled names). They were so helpful, personable, and charming. Next time I am in Seattle I will be back for happy hour! I only wish I didn’t leave before the shuck and sip class, I would have been the first to sign up. Note: AMAZING gluten free options here!

Chris Conley

Mochi donuts are gluten free.

Gretchen G

Food was okay - not taco truck good, though. I appreciate that they had tons of options, I had no trouble finding food as a gluten-free vegan. Cost was more than most Mexican restaurants, definitely priced up for the area (touristy, next to Pike’s Place). Service was almost non-existent, attributable to the ordering system (QR codes for ordering) - but the server was very sweet and kind during the 2 seconds that I did speak to her. The highlight was the tacos. The nachos, however, were the most depressing nachos of my life - lacked most of the ingredients that were advertised. I’ve had better nachos at high school football games. If not for the many options available, would have given 3 stars. Expect to spend $30+ (after tips) as a moderate eater

Desiree Koser

Amazing coffee with beautiful pastries, including a few gluten free options!! This was our favorite first stop in the morning during our trip in Seattle.

Kelsey Brown

Amazing experience. Great prices. Gluten free options. The night manager or owner, Mark, was so amazing. So personable and so kind.

C. Harp

I visited this shop a few times on our recent trip to Seattle. Friendly service with good pastries and coffee! They also provide several gluten free options which were wonderful.

Gloria Wu

Highly recommend for the quality of the food and ambience of restaurant. Great vegan and gluten free options. I loved trying the Aloo tiki appetizer (comes with 2 medium-sized potato patties with mint chutney and tamarind sauce) and Okra Masala (comes with basmati rice). I got it mild and it really was not spicy at all! :)

Lucy Rose

Gluten free has never been available any time I’ve tried, they need to take it off the menu at this point :(

Scott Eburne

Why have gluten free options when you can't make that request on the self serve kiosk?? And the checkout is blocked by a table. Obviously don't want our business.

Kelsey Osborne

The employees said that none of the food has gluten in it except the pastries that are on the counter in a bin. It was delicious and we were surprised there wasn’t a long line; we will definitely go back!

Jesse Weaver

Tasty burgers and fries with a lot of other options if you don't feel like a burger. We had the Hawaiian burger on gluten free bun and the salmon burger. Both were tasty and the prices were more than fair. I like that the menu lists all of the ingredients (onions, mustard, etc) for each item. Would recommend for sure.

Kathleen McNalty

Nice atmosphere and talented waiter. Food was disappointing. The Milanese was tough, the side dish of kale had an identity crisis not knowing if it was cooked or raw, the apples on the kale were very firm, again some uncertainty whether they were intended to be cooked or raw. The dish ate very dry. The orecchiette had a decent sauce but the pasta was overcooked. The arugula salad was a bag of greens with salad dressing. On the positive side, the salad was not overdressed and the dressing was distributed evenly over the salad. We did not get the soft egg offered with the salad, perhaps that would have improved it. The restaurant was crowded so seems popular with other diners. They offered gluten free options which was helpful to some in our party.

Paul Drew

Went for breakfast buffet and it was fantastic. Good gluten free options and extremely friendly staff.

Samantha Sargent

Great latte, the service was great as well. They have a nice selection of Macrina pastries, including a few vegan and gluten free.

Kara Mulvey

We went there two days in a row, it was the good! I have celiacs and Jackie was extremely knowledgeable and careful about it. Helped communicate to the staff. I highly recommend.

Adriana Perrusquia

Great place to eat after going out at Capitol Hill! I liked their waffles and hot chocolate. I have a gluten allergy so the fact that they had a waffle option had me stoked! I couldn't even tell it was gluten friendly

Misty White

This cute little cafe is so close to Pike Place Market and food is excellent. Our service was phenomenal, staff is very attentive. I ordered crab Benedict and it was amazing!! Husband ordered biscuits and gravy and enjoyed his food as well. My daughters ordered the Belgian waffle and were quite pleased. Enjoyed a mimosa, special of the day. I also enjoyed the Nutella mocha and it was absolutely delightful, not overly sweet at all but that’s how I enjoy it best. Wait time was minimal. Definitely recommend. I didn’t notice anything dedicated gluten free, but there were items to order that typically don’t have gluten in them naturally.

Tony Smith

We stopped by on our vacation to celebrate my partner's 40th birthday. We snagged a spot at the bar and had two outstanding bartenders. (I wish I could remember their names, but I terrible with names. They were amazing and deserve personal recognition.) The food, drinks, and desert were outstanding. My partner has Celiac, and this trip has been hit and miss with gf restaurants. Shaker+Spear had great food and drinks for both of us as well as great service. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great seafood place to eat.

Hailey

Lovely restaurant. We waited a while for our server, but eventually got some drinks from the hostess. They DO NOT have gluten free bread contrary to another review. The mimosa was good. I loved the breakfast potatoes, extra crispy.

Sebastian Velasco

Great vegan and gluten-free options, lively and authentic Seattle atmosphere, with excellent customer service. Will definitely be coming back; especially with family or friends requiring different dietary options but still wanting delicious food.

Brandon Rouge

Awesome healthy plant based food made with organic ingredients and quick, friendly service. I recommended the gluten-free/vegan classic Italian pizza and the mango lover Smoothie.

Ashlee H

This place was fantastic. Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. We got their patty melt and a blackened chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. The chicken sandwich had such a great flavor combo. The buns were also delicious. They also had gluten free buns if you are GF and gluten free fish and chips (and more) in addition to vegetarian options. The fries were different and so tasty. We started with stuffed dates which are always my favorite. Will definitely be back here.

Quinn Schiller (Quinn Schiller)

The chai granola is gluten free and vegan

Carolyn Pates

Fresh flavors ! I had gluten free chicken noodle ramen . Fried tofu app soooo tasty housemade chili sauce. The pickled vegetable medley offered as garnish made in restaurant I could eat bowl full . Loved everything ❤️

Elizabeth J

Amazing food! We grabbed breakfast from here since it’s hard to find gluten free breakfast options and this was a fantastic option.

Haley Semo

Love this little spot near work. They have gluten free options (including oatmeal and scrambles) as well as awesome coffee. My coworkers and I enjoy walking over here to grab some coffee, fresh air, and a quick bite during the work day. Great food and drinks!

JaJa M.C.

Loooooved my little box of (gluten-free!) Turkish Delights, especially the Turkish coffee flavored ones. Great Pike Place location, will definitely visit again!

Nathan Duma

The food and service was fine. However, the staff arguing and yelling behind the counter was a big turn off. The music was also too loud. I had the chicken skewers and curry. None of the happy hour menu items were gluten free, otherwise they had many gluten free options on the menu. The amount of wine they gave for the happy hour drinks wasn't a lot. The prices were fine and I would only order takeout here in the future.

Lisa Cook

I had lunch with friends today for the first time at Kokos in Capitol Hill We ordered the guacamole and chips, ahi sashimi, and chopped salads, along with a couple of Cadillac margaritas—everything was excellent. The sashimi was fresh with just the right amount of jalapeño and pickled onion. A friend of mine is gluten free and pescatarian and we struggle to find places to eat out but this menu had a lot of options for her. The ambiance was spot-on for the restaurant’s vibe, with lots of natural light, cool lamps, and a cool winged dog statue in the bar that added to the character. The music was a bit loud but not overwhelming. The only minor drawback was the service, which was a bit slow, as the hostess was also juggling table service and making non-cocktail drinks. That said, it wasn’t unbearable, and the quality of the food and drinks more than made up for it. Overall, great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere—I’ll definitely be back!

Daniel Deardoff

Always a good pick if I'm down in the area. Relatively quiet. Has gluten free options.

Hanna Hondzo

Got the avocado toast on gf bread. They also had a great gf corn biscuit thing. Cool atmosphere and vibe inside.

George Felton

Gluten Allergy People - their food marked GF on the menu is made in a shared fryer! If you have celiacs, this isn’t the place for you. EDIT: In response to the message from SPIN - perhaps I was looking at a limited menu, but I talked it over with one of your managers and attempted to request multiple menu items, only for him to ask the kitchen and they said each one was prepared in a space/manner prone to cross-contamination. Celiac folks, YMMV, but I was disappointed to have that experience after seeing things marked “GF” on menu photos online. For an intolerance/minor reaction, you would doubtless be fine.

Tatiana Stone

From the plush velvet seats to the sweet basil in the curry, this place was thoroughly enjoyable. They give a lot of tofu in the red curry dish and the flavor was great. Staff were courteous and helpful. Great find. Also, the rice bowls help to make a lot of the menu gluten free. They also carry Him kombucha 💯

Savannah Camp

Yummy dinner and such friendly staff no matter the time of day! Had breakfast, dinner and dessert here in three separate days, and each time the staff has been wonderful and I highly recommend the gluten-free pasta, and do give the interesting flavor combo ice cream a try.

Jac and the making of

Delicious coffee and tasty breakfast! Super friendly and amazing staff. Gluten free options and comfortable seating.

Nina Karpoff

Exceptional. Best dinner spot on our trip. Gluten free options and allergy conscious (soy allergy). Clean eating, delicious, fast service, chill environment.

Aubrey Hanna

Look im sure if I wasn't allergic to gluten this place would be lovely unfortunately I have celiac and there false advertising of saying they have gluten free food when there is high cross contamination there fried "gluten free food" is in a shared fryer there gluten free salads which i ordered still made me sick and I believe it's because there is no care for allergies within this restaurant I hope they can change there menu to gluten friendly since that is more accurate description because currently there false advertisements is frustrating if not infuriating.

Don Robert Pornaras

You really can't go wrong here! Amazing views, great food, and awesome service. Highly recommended for tourists visiting Pike Place market. Make sure to get a seat by the window for the best view of the sound. There are multiple entrances in case one of them is locked when you get there, and the seating area next to the restaurant is also restaurant seating! One good vegan option, and two good vegetarian options, one of which is gluten free.

V Wilde

GLUTEN-FREE They sometimes have GF bread but are very polite and will make a scramble.

Ed Rockville

I sat down and ordered gluten free beef/rice dish. I checked the Yelp reviews and thought I made a mistake sitting down. But food was great and the servers were very nice!
