Will Beyreis

Must visit in Portland! Rich flavors and hearty portion in the arepa. Coffee hits the spot too. Very friendly people! And all gluten free. Celiac safe 👍

Beverly-Jane Perry

Chef Emma created a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, served by the most pleasant and helpful staff. The service was excellent, the food was great for our gluten-free, vegan -adjacent diets!! I’d give more stars if I could!!

David Guillen

This place is amazing!! The food was incredible, so delicious! They have a dedicated gluten free section of their kitchen. The staff was very helpful and friendly, also very accommodating and knowledgeable bout food allergies.

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Angela Sottile

ALL GLUTEN FREE! Delicious!

Scott Bryant

Gluten Free Beer, Gluten Free Everything. Cannot recommend enough.

Eliot Powers

It’s nice that they have so many gluten free donuts, but none of the donuts, gluten-full or gluten-free, were anything outstanding

Seammus McGrath

Our bartender was amazing! The oyster selection was great and my girlfriend was very happy with her gluten free fried fish sandwich (with no upcharge on the gf bun!). I had the beet cured steelhead trout on special and it was beyond my expectations. This was my 5th or 6th time here and every time the level of service and food always exceeds the last.

Keith Andrews

Great selection of vegan and gluten-free donuts. Definitely recommend the lemon zest or holy cannoli donut.

John Hardies

Happy to report that Saltwater Grille has Orange Bike Brewing (GF brewery in Portland) on the menu and a full menu of gluten free fried seafood options! Great, quiet spot with good food.

Chris Moulton

Service here was amazing! This gluten free bakery has got to be one of the BEST things I have ever had before! The service here is very good and I must say they are really nice employees. I hope to come back to this place over the weekends and even tho it's expensive all it matters is that it's the best in town! Also, thank you for everything you guys do for the brunswick area teen center! I go to the teen center alot and I have some of the granola deserts and I LOVE them alot. I liked the two boston cream donuts and the smores bar I had this morning. Again thank you guys for everything and I can see this business being the best ones in town!

Katie Rusher

Thoughtful menu and delicious meals. Great service from Emma. Don’t skip the delicious (gluten free) peach cobbler cheesecake!

Joanne Dicicco

We arrived five minutes after one but the person behind the counter said read the sign,very disappointed! People just walked out with a box in there hand.

Lisa McComiskey

The food was good and it had many g/f options. My daughter is celiac and told the waitress many times before ordering that she has an allergy. They then brought her food on a non gluten free bun. The waitress said “my bad” which then left my daughter to eat alone because they had to remake her food . This leaves a bad taste in your mouth. She never apologized, nothing. I was very disappointed. If you have an allergy beware, they don’t take it seriously.

CC McGinn

I literally ordered 2 stacks of the blueberry gluten free pancakes and neither survived. And these were not skimpy stacks. They were the perfect treat to have on my birthday. Delicious coffee and so many other yummy pastries and gluten free options! I would go here every morning if I lived in Maine! Absolutely incredible!

J C

Great food, service, and prices! They were kind enough to get us a table even though it would go past closing time and were also one of the only places our girls could eat because they had gluten-free pancakes! Highly recommend!

Heidi Raphaela-Alamosa

I have been going here since moving to Maine in 2020....not because I am medically gluten free....just because it is great stuff! I try to stop in just for a muffin but usually come away with a lot more! Lots of creative variety, side by side with the old standby--delicious blueberry muffin, in case you're not in the mood for the fun rotating unique flavors. I am not telling my favorites because I want some to be left when I get there! LOL Nice staff, very talented baker who must work very hard!

Annette Wakely

We have eaten at the bake shop several times and have had wonderful meals every time . Love stopping in eating for breakfast or a late afternoon lunch or a light dinner ,service has been outstanding. The food is fresh and ddelicious. Let me set this up there’s a huge huge selection of gluten-free options as well. . Recommend it highly to anyone looking for someplace for delicious breakfast lunch or dinner

Vanessa Weeks

Great service and great food! Wonderful gluten free options for Italian food.

Daniel Cox

Incredible food and atmosphere. Broad gluten free options, and incredible service by Cassidy B. Thank you!

Jen Willis

First time here, despite multiple visits to Freeport, as we only live an hour away. Menu had a lot of options that appealed to us as my husband is GF due to Celiac. We were excited & decided to try Linda’s instead of our usual restaurant choice. Unfortunately, half way thru his haddock melt he pulled a black hair out of his mouth! Instant spoiler. He couldn’t even eat his fries & coleslaw after this. Waiter offered a free dessert, which is a difficult option for someone with Celiac Disease and his appetite now gone from the disgusting hair. Paid for a meal that half of it was wasted. Won’t take a chance again. We will stick to the Bistro Grill for dining when in Freeport

A Whit

Outstanding cafe with amazing employees, a great place to hang out with friends, and excellent gluten free options (with allergy-aware staff). We really need more places like Aubrey’s in Southern Maine and the Seacoast.

Dorothy Towle

My best friend got me a vegan/gluten free carrot cake cupcake. I was a bit skeptical of how this would taste and my husband said there was no way it would be good. WOW were we wrong!! It was amazing! We now can't stop talking about it and want to try everything else they offer. You can tell they really enjoy what they do!

Victoria Johnson

Celiac friendly with lots of gluten free options.

Jai Patel

Wow this place was really awesome! There was a ton of hype online about them so I was a bit skeptical…but wow did they deliver! What I appreciated was how good the gluten free and vegetarian options there were - it’s a small menu so I’m glad we had some choices. I got the mapo tofu and my girlfriend got a lamb ramen that they made gluten free. The non alcoholic drinks were really fun and whimsical as well! Would recommend!

Beautiful space and friendly staff! Love that this place is a dedicated gluten free shop so that I don’t have to worry about cross contamination. Everything is absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be back for more!

Dustin Kniffin

The food was some of the best we have had in a while. The gluten free toast was amazing. Burger was great and cinnamon bun French toast was great! Highly recommend

Chin Down

Great food and atmosphere, kid friendly, gluten free options for most the menu.

Kenzie Connors (Zie)

I recommend getting lunch here. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun and it was good. Nothing to write home about, but the food is good and the patio is great.

Hannah Morong

Awesome quality, big selection of gluten free food. They even brought me gluten free dinner rolls, which is the first restaurant I've had dinner rolls at before the main meal. The gluten free pizza is top notch, definitely not a frozen premade, they seemed to have rolled it out like regular dough. Will stop in again when in the area!

Marz Kay

Love this place.

Mackenzie Bradbury

This is my all time favorite restaurant. In the last year I’ve found out that I can’t eat gluten but even before that I always thought their food was amazing. However, since I’ve become gluten free I’ve loved it even more. They have complimentary gluten free bread for the table that’s DELICIOUS (I even had my friend who isn’t gluten free say he loved it.) That paired with the peppered oil they put out with the bread, well I could eat that all day every day. Not to mention their gluten free pasta is amazing and I can’t even tell the difference. On top of all of that, every time I’ve dined here I’ve been welcomed with the best service. All the staff are always so kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is unmatched. Finally, the pricing isn’t bad at all, especially considering inflation and the fact they make their food in house! I would highly, highly recommend dining here and it is absolutely my go to for any special occasion, or even if you’re just craving Italian!

Steve V

A local must dine! Huge menu, fantastic service, and a talented kitchen crew. From the front of the house through your meal, you feel like you're at home. Breakfast this time and my 3-egg omelet with hot sausage, cheddar, home fries, and toast were just right. The wife had egg beaters and gluten-free toast. This restaurant is Maine!

Katrina Georgiou

Delicious baked lobster, generous portions, and gluten free options!

Amanda Gautreaux

Great for celiac's

Kris Hanna

Lovely stop for a hearty breakfast, bring your appetite. The staff are super helpful and friendly. So many delicious choices on the menu. I’m gluten intolerant and they easily answer my questions. It’s always nice as a gf person to have multiple options to choose from. I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. Heavy on the oils though and to be fair I prefer a red sauce on mine. My husband had the special which was lighter on the oils but a big meal. He loved the fried artichokes. We sat at the bar right away and by the time we left there was a lot of people waiting for tables outside. Coffee was great, fresh & I liked that she asked if we preferred a single or double shot. Over all we’d go again in a heartbeat to this small intimate restaurant

Zoot Coffee in Camden, Maine is a charming little gem that perfectly blends cozy small-town warmth with subtle touches of global culture. The interior is thoughtfully designed inviting and relaxed, with eclectic details that hint at a love for travel and distant places. It’s the kind of spot where you can easily settle in for a quiet moment with a book or get some focused work done. The ambiance is calm and welcoming, and the staff add to the laid-back, friendly vibe. Their gluten-free sweet treats are a nice inclusion, though the ones I tried were a bit on the dry side perhaps just past peak freshness. I had high hopes for the blackberry muffin, and while it lacked the moistness I was hoping for, it certainly didn’t take away from the overall experience. Zoot is a lovely stop for anyone seeking a peaceful space with character, good coffee, and thoughtful details that make you feel like you’ve wandered into a well-traveled friend’s favorite hangout.

Emily Palmer

We stopped in to grab sandwiches to go for a recent trip along the coast. All of the staff members were very friendly and helpful! Our turkey sandwich on gluten free bread and regular ham and cheese sandwich were great, and they handled the allergy needs with no issues. We'll be back!

Laurence Doody

Great gluten free options for breakfast. Really friendly staff.

Michelle Cekala

This is a wonderful food truck that offered all the tastes of the big e that was safe for my family with celiac. The food was so good and my husband who does not eaten gluten free said it was better then anything he ate all day.

Rick Freeman

Perhaps the best pizza I have ever had. Definitely the best gluten free one. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Jennifer Thomas

Their menu is legit, and the fact that I could order gluten-free fried clams, that right there deserves a 6th star. All of our food (party of 4 adults, a baby, and 2 kids) was delicious. Our party initially was split up due to it being busy, but when a bigger table opened up that could fit our whole party, they offered and moved us. Really, well done!

Tori Robertson

Me and my family went while we were on vacation last week and we enjoyed this restaurant.They have gluten free bread but my only request is that they would have gluten free hamburger buns .All else was awesome! I want come back each trip I make to Maine!

Rev Dude

Just to make it clear for people looking they cook the "gluten free" items in the same fryer as the items that contain gluten. If you can handle all that then you're solid but if not I would not say to order from here. The people were nice and I'm not complaining, just have to make the clear. For people like me, that is sure to make me sick so unfortunately I cannot eat your food but my kids loved it since they don't have my celiacs.

Francis A

Got there early and it was nice and quiet. Had great service. I got the blueberry gluten free waffle with a cold brew iced coffee and my fiancé got a smoothie. Both items were 10/10. We also got two ginger shots and those were great too.

Tais Celestino dos Santos

If I could give 10 stars I would give it!! Amazing service and excellent food as always! Lots of vegan and gluten free options! Great drinks selection! One of our favorite restaurants in the SoPo area! We can't wait to go back!

Sheila Taylor

Delicious barbecue in Maine! Plenty of options for meat-atarians, vegetarians and they have gluten-free items too. The seats are not that comfortable, but they make up for it with excellent food and drinks. The service was attentive and very pleasant.

Hannah Schumacher

Delicious, high quality coffee with house made syrups and great dairy free alternatives. Fantastic gluten free baked goods, especially the gluten free vegan chocolate peanut butter muffin and really lovely and filling gluten free bread for their sandwiches and stuff. The vibes are good and it's a great place to get work done.

Julia Sitaro

Please don’t eat here if you have celiac, I went today and was delighted to see gluten free bread on the menu, I told the cashier I had a gluten allergy and they said they could do any sandwich, I am now having an allergic reaction on my six hour drive home. One of the cashiers was not as friendly as the other but the environment of the store was overall quaint and enjoyable, I just wish that when I said I had an allergy someone would have honestly told me not to eat from here
