If you are in need of vegan or gluten free options that actually taste great, this is the spot for you!

This is the worst gluten free pizza I've ever had, and they charge an extra $7 dollars for it! If you want GF pizza go to Next Door pizza, they have the best in the area

We stopped in here during our visits in New haven. This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.

Tasty bites woth gluten free options. Perfect for a nicer night out with friends or a date. Can't go wrong with Patatas Bravas

Winston Trope

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

Tori Pisco

Margarita pitchers (GOOD margaritas) and table side guac, never fails! The shrimp tacos are phenomenal. All chips and tacos are corn tortillas / gluten free!

Lilly Sellati

There are a lot of gluten free and pepper free options if you build your own bowl. I love to swap out the base (lettuce or quinoa) for sweet potatoes and then load up on veggies and toppings, which is slightly more expensive but well worth it!

Enjoyed lunch here with my husband yesterday Brazis decorate so nicely for Christmas. The meatballs were absolutely amazing!!! And their pizza was on point I can't remember having a better cheese pizza with grilled chicken in my life this place never disappoints. 1st time ever having pizza here I've always enjoyed there pasta selections. I was also impressed to see they offer whole wheat and gluten free 🍕 awesome!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍 🦄🏳️‍🌈 friendly

Lunch before dropping family member at train. Beautiful views. Food is excellent. Accommodated gluten free requests easily. Update: Visited again on 10/16/23. Some changes on the menu that were outstanding. Wish this place was closer. Our waiter was particularly great!

Jodi Cohen

Food was wonderful! Great flavors, many gluten free options, service excellent- attentive and warm and friendly. Waiter Lucas was terrific! Would have liked music to be a little lower, a bit loud for conversation.

Used to be one of my favorite coffee stops in new haven :( Im not sure if its due to the opening of the second location or the switched focus to being a brunch spot but this place has seriously gone downhill. This location is either overpopulated or understaffed. constantly a line out the door and staff ushering you to the full service dining area. Much less vegan/gluten free baked goods on rotation than they used to have. The coffee has fantastic potential as it is made with different GIV beans (a local roaster) that have both great blends and single origins. however due to the franticness of the staff, syrups in lattes remain unstirred, turkish coffee is much weaker than before, teabags stay in when you order tea and often break in your togo cup, and the espresso the last few times i got it had a strong metallic taste. The prices have gone up a lot (as has everywhere) but are now more in line with a midclass brunch spot than a coffee shop who has snacks and breakfast options. unfortunately the food isnt on par with the price and youre better off going to bellas across the way. (theyll both have lines out the door) truly sad as staff used to be so welcoming and the atmosphere and decor and couches make you want to stay all day! Would only go back to purchase whole beans sadly

The lunch buffet has very high quality food with at least half a dozen gluten free options. The food is on the spicier side if you have a pepper sensitivity (like I do). There are milder options available to order from the menu, though it's more expensive. My favorite meal here is chicken tikka masala, paneer sag, and kheer with chai tea!

Ella Sweet

The New Haven location is one of my favorite spots to go for breakfast, lunch, or anything in between. Andrew is extremely kind and helpful, making the entire experience a delight. I am constantly thinking I have found my favorite thing on the menu and then I try something new, and the cycle starts all over! I am also celiac and they have a great selection of gluten free options. I couldn't recommend Life Bowls enough.

Rawa is a gem in Westville, New Haven neighborhood. The staff is always so kind and they have a great rotating selection of cocktails and mocktails. Their dishes (which have many options for gluten free, vegan and vegetarian) have so much flavor and quality olive oil with the right amount of subtle spices. Our favorites are the baba ghanouj, the tabbouleh, and any of the biryani dishes. If you save room for dessert, the baklava is absolutely to die for.

Wendy Colbert

Simply amazing food and service! Everything I ordered - the endive salad, the duck (canard au chou), and the grand marnier souffle were prepared to perfection with high quality ingredients! In addition, when we initially told our server that I must eat gluten free, he did not bat an eyelash. Everything I ordered already happened to be GF already (and he knew this off hand), but they brought me gluten free toast when my husband was served baguette slices and told me which of my husband's dishes I could try. For those that have a food sensitivity, this consideration means everything for a most pleasant dining experience. Also appreciated was that, after suggesting some wines we liked, our server guided us to a delicious wine within our budget that went very well with both our entrees. My husband ordered the duck confit appetizer and the venison (chevreuil aux poivres), both delicious and perfectly prepared. He also loved the grand marnier souffle. It's so rare that everything we might both order in a restaurant would be so wonderful. We will definitely be back with our foodie friends!

So. Freaking. Cute. I love the local art and the passion of the staff. One of their employees MAKES the macrons! If that's not the intersection of support and community, I don't know what is. Great chill vibe, convenient location, and just a wonderful place. You can tell people like to hang out and study or chat. Also gluten free options are plentiful. Will definitely be returning soon!

Sarah Connors

Came in solo because I was having a difficult personal time today. I sat at the bar and had lovely service and interactions with the staff. The gluten free bolognese was delightful. My drinks were incredible. And the bartender, whose name happens to also be Sarah, was especially kind to me tonight, which I truly needed. Thank you.

Marla Darius

Interesting little place in New Haven. Unique inside with a bank vault storing wine. Attentive servers and great menu. The four of us each enjoyed our different dishes of meat lovers pizza, gluten free pasta w shrimp, seared salmon and steak salad. Drinks were also good and well made. Biggest complaint is the noise level. The music speaker sounded blown with much humming and crackle for all bass noise and then as the place filled from 6:15-8 pm it became too noisy to hear people next to me. We eventually left and sat outside to visit. Might dine here again but won’t go on a Friday or during peak dining.

Got some nice gluten free tapas. Very enjoyable

Danielle Eaton Hart

Pricey but far better than fast food. They have a few options that are egg free, dairy free, and even gluten free though they can't guarantee it's safe for those with Celiac's disease.

Sean Baldwin

Great service and solid selection. I look for gluten free items, and they have floorless chocolate cookies, a fantastic granola bar and sandwich bread which I have yet to try.

Carrie

Rooftop was such a great experience. The bartenders are amazing. The food was to die for. I have a gluten allergy that was accommodated with such kindness. Highly recommend.

Kyama Mugambi

Their breakfast is superb. I liked that there is a gluten free option.

Melissa Baker

My friend bought me a gluten-free cupcake and it was absolutely delicious. I have personally haven't had the opportunity to visit Claire's, but from what I've tasted and heard this is a pretty terrific place to go! I especially love that there are gluten-free options for people to select.

Andrew Palmer

Wonderful atmosphere and well-priced entrees, with a wide variety of specials - we were so sad to hear that the pistachio-encrusted rack of lamb had sold out (not surprised!) but I greatly enjoyed the pork chops, and the fish were delicious - both halibut and sole, which was able to be prepared gluten-free an dairy-free for my wife and mother-in-law. Truly, a treat!

Libby Atterbury

really welcoming owners, excellent food - café casual, but fresh and delicious! we enjoyed the gluten free banana muffin and the grilled cheese on gluten free bread — easily one of the best muffins and grilled cheeses I’ve had in my life. We were shocked as we just stumbled in on a cold morning… Also enjoyed the avo toast with egg and a chai latte with almond milk - chai was great & not painfully sweet (personal preference); avocado toast was very good, no qualms - as expected. Would definitely recommend, felt welcomed and happy when visiting.

Ella was the BEST!! Made an extra effort for our gluten free folks .. and was cognizant of our time frame to get to a concert!! She is the best!!!
