Top 11 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Delight in Ohio City, Cleveland

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.

By far the best gluten free pizza I’ve had in Ohio! Fun spot open late on the weekends.

Great food. Made fresh. Has gluten free and vegan options. The bread and slather are always a great choice. Offers a kids menu. Does sell alcohol. Nice small patio with picnic tables. Service is hit or miss. Can order take out.

We enjoy coming here from time to time. In general, we’ve had good service, and the food has always been very tasty and reasonably priced. Parking is along the streets, but can be very close by. In nice weather, there is an outside patio area for seating under an awning, like many cafés in France. There are two main dining areas inside, a smaller cafe-like area and larger, more decorative dining room through a doorway. The dishes we had were not available in the selections list on Google. Those included le Champions (mushrooms) Bourguignon and the Crepe d’Ratatouille (vegetable stew) in a buckwheat crepe (gluten free). The latter has cheese, though I believe they would prepare it without cheese if asked. Our server was efficient and courteous. Getting older now and being later evening, I opted for decaf coffee, which wasn’t the best; it may be the worst thing I’ve had there, but is the exception overall.

Located in Ohio City just across the bridge from downtown jaja is not just a restaurant, it's a culinary experience and it's my new standard for what I think a 10/10 dining experience should be. The ambiance was mid century with South American flair all brightly lit and airy thanks to a full ceiling greenhouse roof that I'm told was retractable 🤯. The service was impeccable, from the moment we got off the elevator we were greeted by the attentive wait staff who were very knowledgeable about the menu and offered genuine recommendations. Every aspect of the dining experience is thoughtfully executed. The menu had so many carefully crafted dishes, even the flavors that would seem like a bad pairing melded together perfectly on the taste buds. I am happy it was a small plate serving style so we could try as many dishes as we could. I was most impressed with the goat cheese dates and Eggplant spread. I would recommend jaja to anyone looking for a date night spot or a small group gathering, their menu also denotes which dishes contained dairy, gluten, and nuts.

All around a great place for a casual dining experience. Love the food, especially the variety of burgers and unique toppings. Thank you for the gluten free options. They have awesome GF buns.

A lovely place with excellent Mexican inspired foods. They label gluten free on the menu which is amazing.

Don't be turned off by the quirky ordering system--you get a menu at your table and then order both your drinks and food at the hostess station--this place is WORTH IT. Modern, clean, cool staff, varied menu. Our family of vegetarians (including one gluten free) had our stomachs stuffed and our taste buds rocked. I've had a lot of house-made veggie burgers (usually soggy black bean paste); this was BY FAR the best veggie burger I've had. It was just like a Big Mac. The roasted Brussels sprouts were amazing. Just an incredible culinary experience. Do I wish they had table service? Yes, because I'm lazy. But, push through your laziness and embrace this place. Best food I've had in a looooong time.

I threw my friends a surprise engagement dinner and they were very accommodating. Marcos, our server, was absolutely fantastic. You can tell he really wants you to have a good experience and he took excellent care of us. The food and drinks were amazing. I would recommend this restaurant time and time again. They also have great gluten free substitutions!
