Ordered a gluten free/dairy free cake for my daughter's birthday party and it was wonderful! The cake design was super cute! I love all of the food and pastry options here as well. I just wish it was closer to where I live in Buckley.

James Brewer

Ordered a gluten-free waffle and a normal waffle to-go today, and they didn't even label the boxs. When we got there, they ignored us

Elora Lyon

Gluten free options available! I was excited to find they had them.

Akiyo K

I was so happy to see that this place offered gluten and dairy free options!!

Reggie Ulness

Great food. The waitstaff is good. They have the largest selection of gluten free items. A little pricey but do able.

Jennifer Gayle

The best burger (and gluten free gf burger) I've ever had. Every bite is transcendent. I even tried their breakfast sandwich gluten free this week, excellent of course.

gene wright

Hamburgers built to order including gluten free buns.

Wendy Bodeau

They have a great gluten free bakery selection! I suggest the cinnamon roll, you won’t be sorry.

Bobby Burns

Best gluten free pizza my girlfriend has ever had she says. My more traditional combo pizza was excellent. They didn't charge us a fee to reserve the birthday room and it was super bowl Sunday so that was on the TV. This place is awesome

Tena Johnstone

I love that they offer gluten free bread! The tea was so delish! Love this place!

Paul Davis

Great gluten free options!

Rebecca Cook

Crepes are made on shared equipment. DO NOT eat them if you have Celiac.

Britt Beushausen

Absolutely stellar service, tasty food (and very accommodating for Celiacs with dairy allergies!), and a really pleasant atmosphere. A little on the pricy side, but definitely worth it.

Cory Pedersen

Love this place for breakfast. Combo of meat and veggie skillet and they cater to my gluten sensitivity

Jennie Drake

Absolutely delicious dinner, super friendly staff (Our waitress was Kendra, and she was so sweet, knowledgeable, and patient with our large group) and Celiac friendly!

Ally Ross

The Hob Nob is absolutely delicious! I have celiac disease, and was so happy to come across gluten-free Hollandaise sauce (made in-house) and an all-around delicious gluten-free breakfast! I got a classic Benny and had it topped on a bed of shredded hashbrowns. The staff was so kind, the atmosphere was cozy and cute, and our server (I believe his name was Cesar) was incredibly funny & sweet. Next time I am in Tacoma, I will definitely be back!

Kyle Janzen

A delicious spot with excellent vegan and gluten free options! We had the Buena dia burrito, the vegan breakfast sandwich with gluten free bread, two Dude's donuts (Homer, churro), and the French press coffee. All of it was exceptional! The dairy free butter spread on the breakfast sandwich was a huge hit.

Hannah

The gluten free treats are so yummy!

We recently had the pleasure of stumbling across this charming Colombian restaurant that boasts an array of authentic Colombian delights. From mouthwatering empanadas to delicious Arepas and alfajores, they’ve truly captured the essence of Colombian cuisine. I was particularly impressed by the option of gluten-free empanadas, a delightful surprise. The restaurant’s attempt to create a retro ambiance added to the overall experience. The only drawback, however, was the price point. My husband and I ended up spending close to $70 for 8 small empanadas and 2 shredded beef arepas, including tips. In summary, the food here is good, and the uniqueness of the dishes is a strong point. While it may be a bit costly, the culinary journey and flavors you’ll savor are worth it if you’re willing to indulge a bit. If you’re a fan of Colombian cuisine, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Where do I begin with this one? I have nothing but ALL GOOD THINGS to say. First, the owner, Tina, is a phenomenal, kind, and genuine human being. The way the shop is designed, with the heartwarming words of affirmation written on every to-go-cup, makes a difference in people's days. When I first discovered this shop, I sought a local coffee place to study for my college classes and snack in a cozy environment (not my home) to focus. Cozy is an understatement; the Common Ground Coffee community radiates positive energy, and the atmosphere gives off waves of peacefulness. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I typically get a Steamer or a tea, which is a nice alternative for noncoffee drinkers like myself. Food options are vegan and gluten-free, inclusive of those with food sensitivities. I particularly like the couch, windows, and plants inside the shop. It does get busy in the morning and early afternoon, but after about 1430-1500, the pace slows down a bit for those who don't like crowds. The music played is usually either an Indie pop or an R&B pop that could be more engaging but catchy enough to vibe out to. If I had to make any suggestions or changes, I suggest adding thicker pillow cushions for both the back and the seat. The hours are customer-dependent dependant, but hopefully, in the future, the hours could be extended a little longer to 1800. The prices of the drinks are reasonable, and I understand that there is a competitive nature with as many coffee shops as there are in Tacoma, but maybe adding a rewards program such as a punch card for the regulars or even new customers to cut some of the prices. Something like a free small Coffee or beverage after every 12th visit or buy one dessert, get the other 50% off. Other than that, I do a place like Tacoma, especially Hill Top, which could be a safer place. This will sound SUPER cheesy, but despite this, whenever I walk into Common Ground Coffee shop, and either the owner, Tina, or staff greet me warmly, I can work on my class assignments worry and stress-free. Thank you all for being such rock stars; I really appreciate you all!

Erick Nagy

Wow, some of the best vegan sandwiches I ever had. The pearl sandwich was delicious. Loved the presentation on a tray with salad. Lots of vegan options in the menu to choose from. They also care to provide gluten free and keto friendly dishes. Great location at 7 seas Brewery to pair up your food with probably some of the best beer in Tacoma/Seattle area.

Jessica Birch

Stellar gluten free options, I adore the Baja Sur Fish Tacos and the Chorizo!

Rebecca Cook

Their gluten free pastries that are not packaged come in from the bakery in the same boxes as regular pastries and are stored with regular pastries. cross contamination central!

Amber Miller

Look the food was decent and the wait staff was great. With that said, I probably will not be back. It was comical how awful the gluten-free bun was here. Two bites in and it had completely disintegrated around my fingers and I was left holding bun crumbs and my chicken grilled patty on one side and pickles on the other. It was lunch time but the place was not very crowded at first glance. You walk in in the kitchens on your right and some seating on the left. The bar is in the back and that seems to be where everybody prefers to sit but it's out of sight from the door and I wondered slowly to the back before I realized who was even working there other than the people in the kitchen. It was just confusing not knowing or being able to see where anybody was from the door. Lastly, they upcharge for everything. Getting a side salad instead of fries was an upcharge Even though the fries have gluten on them. The bun was enough charge which I'm used to but then paying for a credit card was also an upcharge of 4%.

My first time here was to try their gluten free pizza crust, as a good one can be hard to find. Unlike most pizza places which utilize frozen premade gluten free crusts, this was created from dough and I watched it rolled out in front of me. It was delicious and something you don’t get from other GF crusts- fluffy and doughy. Just what I like. I’ve tried it a few times since, it seems to have been made with extremely little care or effort. The crust was pressed down flat all over- no fluffy parts. In two places across from each other, it appeared to be rolled out and flattened down completely with the edges burned black. The next time, the edges were thickly burned like charcoal briquettes and a large portion would have been inedible. It also would have likely impacted the taste of the entire pizza. When I picked it up, I asked “would you eat that”, and they could not reply in good conscience. The next time I ordered, I specifically asked for the crust to be “fluffy” and it was decent, but not as good as the first pizza. I’ve probably ordered once or twice in between and make this request, but most people creating it don’t seem to make an effort. Today, I picked up my order, and I will have to remove at least half the crusts as they are black, inedible and completely charred. I was told “that’s what happens to the gluten free” when it cooks. Well, maybe if it were thicker, it wouldn’t-? Or if there were more care taken during the preparation process or cooking process, it wouldn’t burn-? Would a restaurant expect a customer to eat or pay for an inedible item if it were not gluten free? It’s unreasonable. I regret paying.

I was with a gluten-free companion, so we were looking for a restaurant with GF options. Since TCF has such an extensive menu, there were several to choose from or configure. My companion greatly appreciated the fact that the French fries were GF - evidently, that is not so common.

Leanna Ricks

The best gluten free burger buns and pizza around and they do not up charge for gluten free.

Mary Dawson

No gluten free or vegan options. Tea was great!

Brenna Deegan

Great menu. Lots of gluten free options

Emily

Gluten free Diablo scramble was yummy. Server was great.

Catrin Wendt

Best coffee in Tacoma and all the people who work there are super nice :) They have a couple gluten free pastries too.

Susan Pierce

My daughter is gluten intolerant and had their pancakes. When the taste was off they readily made her fresh ones we were so grateful. More restaurants need to handle food allergies like IHOP!!!

Piper Ahrens

I love this restaurant! I've been here a couple times and I've never been disappointed! They have a great selection of gluten free options and the staff is so helpful and accommodating! 5 stars :)

This is a nice concept: Vietnamese favorites plus some interesting variations. It's a little difficult to order, they were extremely polite but we couldn't communicate well enough with the person who took our order to ask any questions or modify anything on our order. I get that, if you want authentic international food, you will have to interact with authentic international people. However, if you have allergies, this can be dangerous. I have been to other restaurants that have menus that allow for common allergy substitutions, but not here, you can't even get a side of plain rice. The menu labels things as gluten free which almost definitely are not (i have yet to meet gf wontons), so I would not bring a celiac person here. I ended up not being able to eat the item I ordered, but switched with my husband and ate his instead without issue (it was simple and tasty). So good food, polite service, but not for picky eaters of any kind. (Note: the salmon is some kind of salmon cake, not a piece of fish)

Dodie K

Offers gluten free muffins

John Mccafferty

4.6!!!! What else needs to be said. I asked and received gluten free chicken pad Thai. My service was quick, food was tasty and portion was just right. I would gladly eat here again. One beautiful young entrepreneur is running the entire establishment. Her demeanor and pleasantness made the visit even more enjoyable. I have attached pictures have a look. Follow me to see more reviews. Thanks.

Jessie Fox

Impeccable service. The food and drinks are so delicious. I highly recommend the crispy maple pork belly! Gluten free options available, so I was thrilled!

Lisa Wilhelm

My favorite place to dine! The food is delicious and the service is caring and friendly. There are even gluten-free options! Love!

Brandilee Bishop

Great coffee and gluten free treats! We are going to return to try the other drinks and food. If you want a Tacoma feeling coffee shop, this is your place. Bonus it's next to the park for the kids to play.

K Fed

Delicious food, crazy yummy cider, wine and beer selection (and espresso drinks!) These folks really care. I ordered enchiladas, assuming they would be corn tortillas (I have gluten issues). They worked with me to make an AMAZING salad wulith the same ingredients and a side of corn tortillas. I love these folks!

Nicholas Filler

Been over a dozen times! Excellent customer service. The ladies I've seen are always kind and pretty quick. Best Subway Salads! They do have Gluten free bread which is nice as I am Celiac. But prefer the salads! Also, always extremely clean.

Andrew Stark

Cynthia Mueller

Omgoodness!! Our daughter & her husband invited us for breakfast to this awesome lil place because, first of all, it was her birthday & second, it was her FAVORITE place to eat. It's reservation only & I understand why. From the moment we walked in we were greeted like we were friends. As we were seated, food was coming out & it was beautiful! Yes, I said beautiful. Works of art! The watress explains what the dish is as our mouth waters just looking at it 🤤. I cannot wait to order! We were given water, our choice but not just any water. It was Cucumber, lemon & Lime. Talk about refreshing! Apparently we're in the season of summer as far as the menu goes. Lucky for us 😀! I couldn't decide what to get but I'm a French toast buff & settled on the Blueberry Bread Pudding French Toast & for good measure topped it off with their famous Candied Bacon 🤤. Ya'll, it comes with REAL maple syrup, whip cream & a lil dollup of vanilla bean ice cream with a strawberry on top 🥰. Hubby ordered (candied) Bacon Wrapped Breakfast Burrito & omgoodness, it was gorgeous! Picture worthy. And was it huge 😯! Weighing in at (I heard) 4lbs? Our son-in-law had the Lobster Bomb. I didn't taste but boy I wanted to! Lol daughter had the Gluten Free Mushroom Xtra Shroom Biscuit Hash. Wow, I've never seen a more beautiful hash in my life. The chef brought out his mushrooms, showed them to everyone. Talk about fresh & colorful! I don't care for mushrooms but when I go back, I want some 😀! Anyway, have you ever had food that tasted as good as it looked? I can say that I have & it was here @ Tibbitts Fern Hill. It's a lil pricey, but oh so worth it!!

Sarah Johnston

Great authentic Thai Food! Got the drunken noodle with fresh spring roles (salad roles on the menu) with peanut sauce. Really enjoyed it and their peanut sauce was creamy and flavorful! No MSG with Gluten Free Options. Will go again!

Katie Allen

I had a great experience with the staff and the yummy food! They also have gluten free which is hard to find! Thank you for the great experience.

Christopher Johnston

Met some friends for brunch. It was delicious! And we were able to find gluten free options. Thank you Jen for your fantastic service.
