Great baked goods! Their scones are AMAZING!

Rebecca Duke

Absolutely fell in love with this place!! We were traveling and looking for a safe place to eat with celiac/severe gluten allergy as well as dairy free. The fact that Portia’s entire menu is gluten free and vegan was AMAZING so everything was completely safe!! We drank the mushroom lattes and split the breakfast burrito bowl and a waffle - the food was out of this world. Everyone on staff was so kind and in a great mood, and the space is cozy and colorful. Will definitely back if we find ourselves in Columbus again!

Love this bakery! The sun-dried tomato egg strata, butter biscuit, and apple pie bar tasted like homemade--delicious. Everything looked so good that we were having a hard time deciding what to get. If someone didn't know this place was gluten-free, they would not guess it! The atmosphere is very sweet and cozy. Looking forward to coming back! :)

I can't have gluten or dairy anymore and it was a big change, haven't eaten much because I'm picky and have lost so much weight. I decided to try this place and it was phenomenal! I didn't even know this kind of food could taste this good!! I was actually able to feel satisfied after eating which doesn't happen anymore. I cried, I literally cried in the middle of eating! Thanks for the delicious food and for caring about people who have to deal with this!!

We dined here with a party of 7 following a white coat ceremony. The service was great, even though the restaurant was packed. A member of our party has significant food allergies and the waitress was knowledgeable and accommodating. She asked questions of the chef to ensure our party’s allergies were addressed. The restaurant offers a gluten free menu. Our food was excellent. Our party enjoyed dishes including Mahi Mahi, scallops, Grouper, short ribs, filet mignon, and burgers. The sides were on point and paired perfectly with the main course. We have been here before and will definitely return! Thank you to the staff, chefs and all employees at Cooper’s Hawk Restaurant, The Strand, Columbus, Ohio!

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Alliyah McClendon

Absolutely loved this place! If you live around the area or happen to be in town this bakery is definitely a go to! I am 100% gluten free with celiac and when I tell you this is the best tasting baked goods I’ve had since I started my journey! I got the cinnamon rollup, beignet donuts, donut holes, muffin (berries), and quiche! Donuts were my fav! It is a little bit pricey but if you’re celiac you already know the drill! Definitely worth it especially when you get a little bit of everything!

Stacey Preston

Great food and a good sized gluten free menu.

Ash Holbert

They are amazing with allergies. They have great gluten free pizza and a tone of options. The gluten free cookie and Sunday is amazing!

Josiah Farr

I was in Columbus for a MTG tournament, and was unfamiliar with the area. I searched for gluten free food, not expecting to find much, but I found Forno. Not only was Molly the waitress absolutely phenomenal. (And she definitely deserves a raise) My experience there was beyond amazing. I've never had a pizza so delicious, I've never had FOOD so delicious. Let alone, a GLUTEN FREE pizza! I liked Forno so much that during my weekend in Columbus I HAD to go there a second time because I wanted to experience it again before I left. 10/10 would go there again, I'd drive from Detroit to Columbus just to experience Forno again.

Briana Gamble

I want to love Town Hall, as someone who has food allergies (gluten, dairy, & soy), but the last 2 times my order was made wrong. Both times they contained one of my allergies - the first time a burger came with cheese and the second time I was given the keto bun instead of the gluten free bun which contains dairy. The first time it was refunded since I was already home. The second time I was close by when I realized and they made it again. Food allergies are nothing to mess with though and to advertise as accommodating but consistently make food wrong is very frustrating. There’s clearly a lack of knowledge from staff or protocols are lacking.

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

Christine Miller

Lived the gluten-free pecan Waffle, sausage links, and over easy eggs!

Lisa M.

So disappointed that a lot of their homemade products contain awful ingredients. Gluten free donuts have artificial flavoring, poptarts have Red Food Dye 40, lots of products with high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavoring.

Julie Burkett

Great service! Great food! Appreciate the menu marking gluten-free items. Best of all, the cheesecake is gluten-free!!!

Doug King

Went here to have dinner with friends from college. There's a lot of gluten free options across the entire menu. All the entrees were nicely prepared and plated. Our server was attentive, with well paced service.

lydia gokey

Joe was my server and he was awesome! It’s always been hard eating out while having celiac and he took my allergy into heavy consideration

SoniaLeighOfficial

My partner and I travel a lot for work. We always seek out the best vegan spots to eat. This one really blew me away. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service, the atmosphere, and the food. Wyatt took our order. He had an excellent attitude despite the line (probably because the place is delicious) and he was very helpful in helping us select a dish. I had the Frisco melt and the red velvet cake. I ate every bite! They do not skip on flavor and quality ingredients. My partner had sausage egg and cheese with gluten free bread the pumpkin loaf and Caesar salad. Usually gluten free options are scarce and hit or miss on flavor. All of these dishes were delicious. And there were plenty of gluten free options as well. Thank you for providing excellent service and food for us vegan travelers! We Highly recommend this place!

Heather Iacono

Absolutely fabulous authentic Mexican food, dedicated gluten free. AAAAA+++++

AmberLynn Dunn

My favorite bakery!!! the cupcakes are always on point!!

Hillary Nelson

10/10 recommend. As mentioned everything except the buns and some beer is gluten free but even better they take cross contact super seriously and keep those items separate from all others. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and really reassured me. My only problem was I only went once while visiting. Can’t recommend enough! Felt safe as a celiac eating here and most of my party had no idea it was all GF.

Rachelle Hadlock

I really wanted to like this place. I was terribly disappointed. I purchased a donut and a muffin. The donut was meh, not that great but edible. The muffin was terrible. I threw it away after a couple bites. I know gluten free baking is challenging. I have done it with much better results. I went out of my way to get there and I won't be back.

Bruce Griffin

Delicious. Great food and better service. Very gentrified hipster vibe. The majority of the menu is or can be made gluten free.

Dustin Greiner

Fantastic gluten free food, everything on the menu is gluten free or can be including the mac and cheese and onion rings. Service was excellent.

Sandra Tingler-Shaw

My sis is gluten-free, and for the first time in a long time, she was able to select things she normally would not be able to select. Plus the food was great! We will definitely visit Erie Street Kitchen again!

Grant Donnelly

6-1-Pho is the restaurant I most regularly frequent in Columbus. I like it a lot and the prices are good, the food is even better and the workers are always friendly. What I like about this place is the food can satisfy a meat eater, a vegan, or a gluten free person all the same. I generally get the marinated tofu pho and my partner the chicken pho- both are great and I think their broth is perfect. They started using flatter noodles which are less good than the more round noodles they used to use so I hope they switch back! I get to go and they have this down to a science- they have a good packing system that makes sure you don’t spill and the food tastes good when you get it home.

Alice Schafrath

Great food, great service. And they have gluten free items.

Nathan Morse

Delicious food from delightful people! Also, their soup of the day is always vegan and gluten free — so inclusive!

Dallas Tucker

My daughter and I waited 45 minutes for a very small meal. I got the gluten free French toast and home fries which weren’t very good at all. She finished her reg French toast and sausage though. The server was nice and apologetic. I was searching for a new spot with gluten free items but I don’t think this is it.

Gabe O.

Very good traditional American diner. The food was delicious and their service is great. They have a gluten free menu available on request.

Dalila Di Rienzo

Ciambelle di tutti i tipi! Opzioni senza glutine e vegane 🌱 hanno anche il caffè!

Cara Clark

I don't typically write reviews, but this place deserves recognition. I have family members and friends who are vegan and others who need gluten free options (For context: I can have gluten and am not vegan, but I'm always on the lookout for good options for family and friends). I've found this location is great for those options and for those who just want a good place to enjoy some coffee and pastries! The pastry and food options are fantastic (I got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the chocolate buckeye donut). The coffee is smooth and the staff are very friendly and work hard during the busy hours. The tables are clean, there's plenty of space to work on homework/office work, and the bathroom is single stall for those with bathroom shyness. 10/10 would recommend!

Joseph Coppus

Great food, chill atmosphere, and lots of great gluten free options!

Justin Runyon

This was my first time in there and the food was amazing. They have a healthy selection as well gluten free options, and more very well atmosphere. Service was great as well.

Brian Cataldi

How the mighty have fallen. They ruined our Mother’s Day dinner by serving a clearly medium rare burger when my wife wanted a medium. We sent it back but not before the waiter comes back with the food and tell us “this is our medium here”…the middle was cool in the! We thought it would be 5-10 minutes max for the new burger . 30 minutes later and with everyone else done with their dinner the burger still isn’t out! They offer to comp the meal and give us a free gluten free dessert… however when the food still isn’t out I talk to the owner and tell her the situation. She goes back and then a manager comes over saying they are still working on it and gives me the bill. I tell the manager I’m not paying for anything as this literally ruined our dinner. She goes away, comes back with the food bagged up and says “Here is your food, you can go now”. Both the waiter and the manager were rude during this entire encounter. THEN to top it off, on the way home we get a text from them saying the desserts they sent home were NOT gluten free…and my wife is celiac and the one that all this happened it!! And the last straw was when we got home, check out the burger…the damn thing was still medium rare!!! Check the picture for the 2nd burger and you tell me. After all this they didn’t even fix it. Long story short, they could have made it ok but the long remake, the attitude all around and the continuing mistakes show me this place has lost their touch.

Jenna

Best gluten free breakfast. Mango Bacon Goat - amazing. We will definitely be back!!

Jen Pfleghaar

Large gluten free menu. It’s all marked. Meat is from a local farm Canal Junctions. The homemade salsa is amazing and fresh. Can’t beat this quality!

Wendy Batdorf

100% gluten free restaurant The owner makes the bread which is regular size not gf size! Desserts are great, my Reuben sandwich was amazing!

Sarah Balaban

They always have the best stuff. When birthdays come around I always have to pop in to grab my boy cupcakes so he doesn’t feel left out. He gets terrible eczema from gluten.

Trudy Crawford

The food was very good and they modified my order to be gluten and dairy free. I got the balsamic chicken and succotash and it was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you have food allergies

Maddy Wilm

This is my new favorite restaurant. Essentially everything on their menu is gluten free and so delicious even my nongluten free friends love it & cannot tell a difference. The food is an absolute 1000/10 BUT the service is incredible!! Megan & Eddie were SO personable, and they make us want to make this our regular spot! I can’t say enough positive things about this place! It’s a must try ESPECIALLY if you are gluten free!

Emmett J

Wow, I can't believe I haven't eaten here until now. My wife and I came here for lunch and loved it so much that we stopped by again on the same day to grab dinner. Can't wait to bring my veg and gluten-free friends!

Dustin Greiner

A wide variety of gluten free options, the food was delicious and it’s attached to a cool book store you can check out while you wait because like all good places, it’s busy.

Staci Lee

Gluten free and yummy

Grace Norwood

Alyssia did a wonderful job. Would like to see more gluten free options.

Jennifer Fagert

The food and service were amazing, with many gluten-free and vegetarian options for those with dietary needs. The serving sizes are on the smaller side, which we preferred because we were able to finish our meals without being too full. The many of the vegetables that come with the main courses are shredded, which disappointed my mom. My mom slso ordered one of the house wines, which she said was not the best. Our server was very attentive without being overbearing and managers take the time to make sure everyone is enjoying the food, but we did wait around 40 minutes for our food. The atmosphere is VERY noisy and can quickly overstimulate people with sensory sensitivity, like myself. My parents typically do not get overstimulated and they even said it was too noisy. It was super easy to make reservations using Open Table! Overall, the food was good, but the atmosphere was way too noisy and we had to wait a while for our food.

Kelly Aardema

Everything is so good here!! You'd never know everything is vegan and gluten free. We got snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, coffee cake muffins, and carrot cake bars ❤️🤤

We went to Hudson 29 on Valentine’s Day, understandably one of the busiest days of the year. When we asked about mocktails, I was offered a lemonade, which seemed odd as they have a full bar. We watched couple after couple receive their food, but our waiter said he was getting our app and never came back with it. We spoke with what appeared to be a GM or manager, and they finally brought it. It took an hour to get our food. We liked our meals and was comparable to other CM restaurants. We love Cameron Mitchell (CM) restaurants, but this experience didn’t meet the standard of the others of them. As always, gluten free and allergies are accommodated well as at other CM restaurants.

Melissa Porter

A wonderful establishment that is one of the most accommodating places I’ve ever been to.

Jennifer Noelle

Came after a show at Nationwide Arena - very convenient and walkable. Pros: They were able to get us in about 30 minutes before our reservation on a crowded night, our server was incredibly friendly and helpful, fun atmosphere. Guac, street corn and mixed drinks were delicious. Several gluten free options. Cons: three people ordered the carne asada and found the steak to be tough and chewy, almost inedible. Somewhat pricey.
