I have never had a gluten free pizza that’s so good! 10/10 would recommend. They were able to make the crust still fluffy and crispy, something I’ve never had from gluten free dough. Will be driving 2 hours for this again very soon!

Absolutely amazing. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. Fresh, local, homemade.

Andrea Knapp

Absolutely amazing! I have food allergies (wheat and dairy) and they always make sure I am taken care of. They have a dedicated gluten free menu which makes ordering so much easier. Definitely one of my new favorite places in town.

I am super late posting this lol but I have celiac disease and every time I eat here they are soooo accommodating and have so much options for gluten free meals and I am especially grateful and happy that they have a cheesecake that is delicious and gluten free. ❤️🤤🥰🫶🏻 If you have celiac disease it is safe to eat here and has supply yummy foods.

My husband and I came here for a nice dinner "together" traveling through as we do about every 6 months. The last few trips through we've tried eating here and its been wonderful! Unfortunately can't say the same about this time. It started with the place was at least 60% empty so we got seated right off which I thought was great! Until she walked us all the way to the back "passing about 20 empty tables"and putting us in this tiny corner with someone else sitting so close to us we could have just ate dinner together. I felt very clostorfobic! We got up and just went and sat at the bar. We ordered the same exact thing we had the previous visits. He got the braised short ribs and I got the seafood pasta bowl. It looked delicious! I asked my husband to try a bite and I was so surprised at how salty it was! He took a bite and said that's impossible to eat, it taste like the lid fell off the shaker. We sent it back and our server returned telling us that the manager tasted some in the kitchen and realized that the cook didn't follow the recipe and that he put way more salt in it then he should have. So he had to order something else. While waiting for his second meal to come out I had completed mine as it was seafood and I didn't want to let it sit and get cold. So at this point we have both eaten our meals while the other watches. The manager comes over and says she'll offer us a dessert, there's 3 to choose from because he's allergic to gluten. We're not sweet eaters and had zero interest in that. We certainty wasn't looking for a free meal but the proper thing to have done was to comp his since it wasn't his fault your cook messed up the dish or at least offer a discount on it. I felt it was handled very poorly and we have agreed that we will not return and as that may not have a huge impact on you maybe you can learn how to properly take care of a customer that's been here multiple times and own YOUR mistake!

Went to Karma Cream to get Gluten free bakery items.Stood waiting, and woman at cash register didn't say good morning ,or may I help you? I stepped up to ask of GF, and she said Only if they decide to have GF available! What? She suggested ice cream!? What?,!The rude attitude wasn't helpful! Why advertise GF bakery products if not the case.Good,and friendly service also goes along way! Remind employees that!Do better!!!

Terrific service along with fantastic pizzas! They offer a gluten-free crust and a variety of vegan options, which we are grateful for. The sangria was excellent as well.

Excellent food. Loved the waffles with peach compote and the eggs had a perfect consistency!! Our waitress was amazing too wish I knew her name but she was super friendly and nice. They also had gluten free options and vegan options. We will definetly be back.

5 Stars The Gainesville Hub is a must-visit in Gainesville! The food is absolutely fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and full of options for everyone. I loved the made-to-order specialty waffles, especially since there were so many gluten-free choices! The smoothies and açaí bowls were top-notch—so refreshing and beautifully presented. What really stood out was the kindness and friendliness of the staff. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. You can tell they take pride in creating a great experience for their customers. Perfect spot for a healthy, satisfying breakfast or brunch! #GainesvilleEats #GainesvilleBreakfast #GNVfoodie #GainesvilleBrunch #GlutenFreeGNV #HealthyEatsGNV #GainesvilleSmoothies #AcaiBowlsGNV #WaffleLovers #GNVcoffee #GainesvilleFoodScene #VisitGainesville #EatLocalGNV #SupportLocalGNV #GNVfoodstagram Follow me @holycityfitblonde on instagram

Terrific Gluten free options!!!😍

One Love Café is a laid‑back, open‑air spot tucked into Magnolia Parke Plaza in northwest Gainesville. They’re open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays), serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunches with bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and Bloody Marys. The ever‑rotating menu of farm‑fresh, locally sourced American handhelds, burgers, salads, and seasonal specials caters to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free diets, and the full bar pours everything from craft cocktails to a solid beer and wine list. Come for karaoke on Tuesdays, Jazz in the Parke every Wednesday, live music Thursday through Sunday—and soak it all in under a canopy of string lights, around a fire pit, or out on the sprawling, kid‑ and dog‑friendly field. Here’s the inside scoop: One Love tends to get slammed on weekends—especially Fridays and Saturdays—so service can slow down a bit when they’re really busy. Thankfully, that shipping‑container bar out front has helped speed up drink lines big time. If you want a primo spot (think fire‑pit front row or a comfy Adirondack chair), roll in right when they open or at least early enough to snag a table. I always tote a blanket and a folding chair to stake out my territory on the grass. And don’t sleep on happy hour—swing by from 3–5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday for buy‑one‑get‑one half‑off drinks. It’s the perfect little pick‑me‑up or pre‑game ritual.

Fun atmosphere! Amazing service from Valerie! Yummy gluten free options.

Rachel Clark

Super disappointing that they removed gluten free indicator from the menu, but left vegan. There are plenty of GF possibilities that can be offered based on the current menu. Super cool atmosphere, the servers are usually awesome, stick with beer or wine, the mixed drinks are mid.

Jacob Thigpen

So delicious. Solid gluten free options and flavors. Prices weren’t too bad, especially for how nice the atmosphere was inside.

Nancy Boyd

This place is an incredible find! Delicious snacks and bowls to eat on the patio or take to go. The bar serves great drinks as well, which is perfect for enjoying music at the Bo Diddley Plaza. They even had a gluten free, vegan, and soy free option!

Abigail Medina

I was sat at the counter table by the hostess but was never served after waiting 15 minutes at my seat. Seems I was forgotten. Save yourself the trip, the menu is overpriced "elevated brunch" (if you can even call it that) for plates that you can practically make at home and these dishes cost extra for protein. As I returned my menus to the hostess and explained my situation of not being served, I overheard another unhappy customer asking where she can get an actually decent salad (yikes). Overall, there are much better brunch places in gnv (check 43rd street Deli, Flying Biscuit, Maple Street Biscuit Company). Hell, even Waffle House does a better job. Also, they have 0 gluten-free options.

Tried this spot for the first time. My wife and daughter shared a gluten free pizza and they had to say it was fantastic. Best gluten free crust ever. I thought I'd be able to fishe my small x 10 but couldn't. It has a smokey flavor and was also very good...we will be back .

Ania

Good, not great. We popped for a quick dinner. The hotel looks like a newer, trandier one. The menu was not updated on the website, so we were slightly surprised. Tried the Ribeye and Flat Iron steak, preferred the second. They were also testing their key lime pie, and I have to say, it was pretty good! While we'd cook better dinner ourselves, it was ok. It's still a solid option, just nothing special. The server was very helpful and knowledgeable about the gluten free options.

Maria Beatriz de Souza Cortez

Gainesville has these amazing unique places!!! Super interesting menu! Amazing pancakes. Gluten free friendly!

Ariane Laxo

Food is super delicious, with several gluten free options (ask - they're not marked) on the dinner menu. Sitting on the porch listening to outdoor music was a delight. The service is not good, but seems more due to being short staffed than anything. The servers were nice, just stretched thin so the food came out lukewarm and we waited a long time to order.

Found this little cafe when turned on the wrong road lol. Owe it was so delicious!! It was mid evening busy, I got the combo a chicken Caesar wrap with Broccoli salad and chocolate custard. (The ice cream was for my mom). My mom got a Caesar salad with chicken. Just a few mins and someone brought us our food. Everything was cooked /prepared perfectly. They have vegan choices. Also other yummy desserts like cheesecake, cookies, and gluten free choices. Definitely recommend!! 😍

Yummiest Chinese Food around! I have a gluten allergy and they are so great about making sure all is safe for me! They cook me fried rice without the soy sauce. Also if you eat in, I love their Jasmine Tea!

We had a very lovely meal, there was no wait at the time. The restaurant was very busy, food was coming out in a very timely manner. Our server was very wonderful and attentive. The food was really nice, but slightly lacking. My daughter got the chocolate chip pancake and it was wonderful. My girlfriend got an omelette with gluten free toast and home fries. It was nice but the home fries lacked any seasoning and she said that they were quite bland. It was very nice to see a lot of gluten free options for her since she's allergic. I had the chicken and waffles. They were nice, but the chicken seemed to be lacking, either a 3rd piece would have been great, or thicker pieces of chicken. There was more breading than meat. The Cajun syrup could also use some pop to it, it was marginally seasoned vs normal syrup. The blueberry butter was excellent. Overall we had a wonderful meal and we were very happy with the experience.

I'm giving this store a five based off the amazing customer service received by Brooke and Cudjo! They were so amazing, friendly and just both had beautiful smiles that wouldn't quit! The food was good also. I have celiac disease and took a chance. I did let Brooke know about it. No reaction to the food. The highlights of my visit though were the customer service and the cleanliness of the place was fantastic! Thank you so much to them for making my day great! I needed it!

Caroline Hurd

Incredible food and such kind people! Highly recommend :) We had the arroz chaufa (like fried rice) and the pescado a la chorrillana (fried fish with vegetables, rice, sauce, and yucca) and both were remarkably tasty. They were also very accommodating of dietary restrictions, both aware of gluten and lactose. Pretty quick and definitely worth the cost. We will be back!! :)

Came here for dinner on a Thursday night after loving their other restaurant Nopal. We sat outside and it was so pleasant out and I really enjoyed the outdoor dining. Our waiter was great and informative. They do not have gluten free options marked on the menu, but he easily let me know what was GF or what could be modified. I was sad that they only had flour tortillas as their tacos sounded really good. I went with one of the salad bowls that came with ancho chicken, brussel sprouts, pumpkin seeds, avocado, queso fresca, and corn. It was delicious and fresh but my chicken was very overcooked which was disappointing. However everything else was good and the service was great.

Maria Arndt

Great service and good for Celiacs!

Always quality food with plenty of gluten free options.

The wife and I had a pit stop in Gainesville and were starving. When looking at breakfast restaurants we were looking for a place with a selection of gluten free and vegan options for my wife. When this was one of the suggestions we were not certain how this would turn out. But, it ended up to be a very pleasant surprise. American style diner with authentic breakfast cuisine that still had some gourmet options such as goat cheese for their skillets. The portions were plentiful, the hashbrowns were crispy throughout which almost never happens eating out and their omelets as well as their skillets were loaded with veggies and meat. Wife had the "bellybuster" veggie skillet and I had the Philly one; both were well above most places. The service was attentive and genuine. If you are expecting upscale dining this is not the place; if you would like authentic American style diner food with home made flair this is the place. If in the area we would be happy to return here and may even try their brunch.

This place is amazing and I recommend it to all my friends. Love that all my friends can eat here (vegetarian and vegan options!) But if they offered gluten free bread or cracker options, it would have made this a 5 star review. UPDATE: CHANGED TO 5 STARS!

Anna Mattessich

Got a gluten free salad, gave me a rash, but tasted really good !!

Allyson Gilbert

Jason Hartz

The mushroom toast was delicious. We really enjoyed our time here. This was our third attempt at finding a vegan restaurant that could provide vegan and gluten free food that didn’t have other allergens that affected us. We were very happy with the staff, the service and the food. We will definitely return.

Celeste Ortiz

Lovely little date night spot! Daisy our server was very sweet and helpful :) The happy hour small charcuterie was perfect for a pre-dinner appetizer. Even put the bread on the side for me because I’m gluten free. Would recommend!

My family and I went to Ballyhoo for dinner. The atmosphere was fine, nothing special but the food and service were below average. We were there on a Wednesday and it wasn't busy. Our waitress I will say by the end of the dinner was pretty frustrating and is likely the reason we won't come back. I asked her what her gluten free options were and her response was "I'm only 18, I don't know what gluten is" Didn't offer to check with someone, she just left it at that and walked away. After she took our order, she went and sat at a booth with other customers for 15 minutes, other people brought out our food and she came over and said "did your food come out with any gluten in it?" which was a bit annoying given she never answered me about gluten free options. Then she said "sorry I was gone for a while, I was doing everyone else's work" then went back to sit at the same table. I think she was unaware that we could see her? The food came out unseasoned. I had a salad with grilled chicken and part of the chicken was undercooked and tasted so bland, the others at the table said they didn't think there was any seasoning on any of their food either.

This will be my favorite coffee shop from now on. The coffee was great but the Gluten free bagel was awesome!!! Thank you however mentioning it on your menu would be helpful.

Patricia Moore

Although there aren't too many gluten free options on the menu. What is on the menu is always fresh and delicious. 😋 typically greeted with someone friendly and the coffee options are always good too.
