John

My partner and I love bloom bake shop! Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for, and I am a big fan of their sweet potato donut is delicious! Lots of gluten free options available as well! There is always going to be a long line out the door, but it is worth it!

Food was phenomenal. Absolutely appreciated the variety in the menu vegan and gluten free options. Waiting times were a little long but I think that speaks to how good the food was and how busy they were. Despite the long wait, service was great. Warm and friendly. Our server Jessica was great.

Eddy Nelson

Celiac heaven. Dedicated fryers, knowledgeable staff. Almost all dishes can be made GF. Amazing Venezuelan food!

Lindsey Wilcox-Cooper

This my family's happy place! The atmosphere, staff and selection of treats is always so inviting. As a celiac, I love the safety I have of choosing anything I want without question. My family (even my slightly picky husband!) will very happily let me know when a gluten-free item is not up to their non-celiac standards, but this is never the case here. It's the first place they want to go to celebrate something special, or to get some one on one time. The coffee is fabulous and their seasonal drinks are so creative. I don't know how they do it, but they have the sweetest, most conscientious staff. Several friends and family members insist on a stop here whenever they visit. We adore this place.

Francesca

Delicious food with great gluten free options.

Logan

Both times I've been there, they've had great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Gluten-free buns are always available, and they have a designated fryer to avoid cross contamination.

Sophie

Best Sandwich of my vegan gluten free life. (I got the turkey pesto special made gf - gf bread sub turki for tempeh) Ive never had this hearty and tasty of a sandwich that was vegan and gf. Beyond satisfying. I want to try and copy it at home but idk if I can infuse nearly enough flavor to match it! Ty ♡

Eden Schnurstein

Food was delicious, service was quick, and staff were kind. Broad menu of options with large vegan sections. Restaurant can make dishes that are gluten sensitive (though not Celiac safe). Similarly, they are very accommodating for other allergies, and can customize meals easily.

First time here, and I was very satisfied with the El Papí sampler and the Lomo Saltado a Caballo (center)paired excellently with a glass of Malbec. My fellow lunch party also enjoyed their meals. They had the Parrilla Callejera (left) and La Taguara Burger (right). They have plenty of gluten-free options as well. Will return again.

Katrina Marie

Cute place with a clearly labeled menu for gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan. Many options for all of them. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and patient with questions about food allergies. I felt very safe eating here with celiac disease and even enjoyed chilaquiles for the first time in 20 years! It was full of flavor and freshness! Fresh squeezed orange juice too! My favorite breakfast I’ve gotten probably ever!

Andrew VanDerKolk

amazing food! lovely atmosphere - upbeat and wowing decor. an amazing array of beers wines and bloody mary’s as well. if you come, start with the traditional frites (fries) and blackened garlic ranch aioli sauce - fantastic! plus for anyone that is gluten free or celiac they have a dedicated gluten free menu - woo hoo!

Katherine Gardner

I was surprised by the amount of gluten free options, the appetizer bread and dessert blondies were amazing!! Sam G. was a great server/host!

The gluten-free breakfast burritos basically got me through COVID. Delicious potatoes, eggs, cheese, bacon. They are best enjoyed on the shores of Lake Mendota with the accompanying salsa.

Christina Houlihan

My go to place for brunch! All of the ingredients were so fresh in the omelette. I love the gluten free option for the pancake/waffles and they are so tasty! 10/10. And service was amazing per usual. Venera is the best server!

Anna Hudak

We love coming to Glass Nickel! One of our favorite things to do is the Family Friendly Improv show on Saturdays. Their Gluten free Pizza crust is decent!

W Hill

Not safe for celiac! Cc is extremely high!

Julia Rap

Food was delicious. 9/10. My personal favorite dishes included green curry and praham long song. Everyone we talked to recommended the red noodles, so definitely try those as well! I got the foco roasted coconut juice as a drink which was nice but wouldn’t re-order. To be truthful, I only got it because it had boba. The sticky mango rice as dessert was DELICIOUSSSS and a fun cultural food to try. The cream cheese wontons were exquisite. Basic, but delicious. Almost everything here can be made vegetarian and gluten free which is great if someone has dietary restrictions. Overall would definitely recommend this place, especially with parents in town as it is a little pricey for the college student budget. The service was good except they do this thing where you have a table but must go to the front and order every time and then they bring your food out to you. I was not the biggest fan as someone constantly had to get up to go order food, a drink, etc. and it broke conversation. May just be a personal preference though. My final rating is an 8/10 for the restaurant.

Oli

Good food and friendly staff. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten sensitive opinions. Tacos and stuffed burrito are great, not the enchiladas.

Randi Huntsman

Despite my having told our server that I wanted the gluten-free flatbread, he brought out sandwich bread. He then put the correct order in, but I had to ask him to follow up. When he brought it, it had been baked too long. Also, the menus don't have GS notations to help me know what is safe for me to eat. I had to literally insist that the server check with the kitchen (in response to his "It should be fine" answer when I asked about the entree that I was considering). Not the best experience I've ever had at Cento.

Alex Dior

Gluten friendly pancakes were a 10/10. I tried the blueberry sauce and maple syrup on them (not together). Both were equally delicious. Ordered hash browns and eggs. Hash browns were enough for the family.

kean obrien

I love this place. They have such good food and service. I am now gluten free and just tried their gf pizza and it’s so good. They have great vegan sausage also! Of course they have all the cheese and regular crust also

Cassidy Meyer

Nice place. Got our coffee and food pretty fast! They have great gluten free options too.

claire johnson

Great service from host and server, very happy that they had a separate gluten-free menu. Eggs benedict with gf bread was delicious, maybe a little too cheesy but still great

Ashley Wendt

Incredible food & so awesome to have gluten sensitive options too! Great service & friendly staff!

Audra

Enjoyed my lunch so much! Brussel sprout salad is so good. Also their coffee and gluten free peanut butter cookie is to die for ⭐️

Nathan K

Nice little college coffee shop. They have some gluten free options too which is nice. Always very quick and friendly service.

Devin C

Best sandwich spot in town, hands down. I also can’t eat gluten; they started making gluten free focaccia in house and I almost cried, it’s so delicious. The kind of place that raises the quality of life in a town.

Laura K

Helpful staff with a healthy gluten-free option.

Rachel G

Samba is fantastic. All of the meat was sooo good and the salad bar was also fantastic. They label everything on the salad bar with tags saying what it is and a gf for gluten free which is wonderful!! They also label df for dairy free I believe too. We got a bottle of wine while waiting for our table and the bartender carried ot upstairs for us when we were seated which was great. The grilled Pineapple is a MUST! The service was great, as soon as we flipped our thing to green people were there quickly with meat.

Chris Washebek

Great food, especially the gluten free bierocks!

Kim Smith

Excellent food and service. They were very helpful with allergies and celiac. Definitly reccomend!

Mandy Christman

Great food with gluten free options. Incredible farm to table burgers, locally sourced. Fabulous drink selection. The patio is lovely! The parking is difficult so give yourself a bit more time.

Mel Lobitz

The best falafel you’ll find in Madison. Super accommodating for gluten allergies, speedy pick up service, and amazing and kind staff. My partner and I weren’t sure about how much food would be in the falafel platter so we ordered more falafel on the side. The platter came with SIX (6) falafel!!!! So we got to enjoy the extra side as a delicious lunch the next day. So happy to have The Mediterranean Joint in the neighborhood!!

Love this coffee shop in Madison on the Square. Our Go-to when we visit our Badger because of the gluten free cornbread...we order with bacon egg cheese and it's DELICIOUS. I recommend to all my gf peeps/groups. Used to be 2 slices of bread, but I think just the one slice is actually easier to eat. Bravo Wonderstate!

Amy Godecker

Happy our experience at Merchant was as wonderful as usual. We had friends from out of town visiting and wanted to show off Madison's food scene. Cocktails were top notch as was the wine I chose with my meal. I ordered the squash risotto which was excellent, even better than expected. Our table of 8 enjoyed the cheese curds and everyone loved their entrees, including the whitefish, chorizo verde and fried chicken sandwich. The desserts were delicious and our gluten and dairy intolerant guest was thrilled with the chocolate brownie dessert, as was the rest of the table. A great success all around.

R Hodg

They take gluten free seriously. Will clean prep area for making egg sandwiches on gfree bread. As a celiac I wouldn't eat the gfree waffles though because they use the same waffle maker for regular waffles - which they made sure to point out. They have individually wrapped bakery items along with other gfree options.

Chris Shook

Great gluten free pancakes and other options.

Tammy

Not the Weary I knew and loved anymore. I took my son out for dinner and I went home hungry. We both ordered the bad breath Burger, My son ordered his medium rare and I ordered mine well done with a gluten-free bun. We waited an hour for our food and when it arrived My son’s Burger was cooked well done and mine came with a regular bun instead of gluten-free, my son decided to eat the burger as is, they took my burger back to remake it and put it on a gluten-free Bun. When I got my burger, it was rare not well done like I ordered. It also only had a very thin slice of cream cheese, not the quarter inch slice that it used to have. Definitely not the Bob’s bad breath Burger I remember And loved. At this point, we had been there for an hour and a half and my son had another engagement to go to so we needed to leave. They offered To make my burger again Or give me a refund, I took the refund. The greens were also wilted and didn’t have dressing on them. I Will not be back, this makes me sad but the new Management just isn’t measuring up.

I ate here last night and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was super friendly and did an amazing job accommodating my gluten intolerance and recommending gluten-free menu options

They have a good atmosphere for meeting with coworkers after work. However, their menu and food handling does not cater well to those with dietary restrictions. If you cannot eat gluten, you will likely have to deal with cross contamination here.

McKayla Wang

Disappointed in the gluten free options. I ordered my meal gluten free and received what looked like white bread. $2 extra for toast? Pretty expensive meal for absolutely nothing. . My friends’ food looked good, though.

Austin Zempel

Food was delicious as always! Also appreciate that they offer a gluten free bun option! Our server, Robbie, not only greeted us with a smile at the host stand the moment we walked in, but continued the warm welcome throughout the stay.

Connie

Very bland food with no taste.I have a gluten allergy and asked for the bread to be on a separate plate so someone else at my table can eat it. They still put it on my plate.

Brooke Duckert

I absolutely adore this place, the staff is amazing and so is the food. The gluten free choices are amazing and plentiful. I love that the menu isn't in English first, but secondary. Wonderful atmosphere.

Jennifer Power

Scott Tillema

Great service makes great food experience. Accommodating to both gluten and dairy allergies

Bailey Wheelock

Love coming down from drinks, and the food is always amazing! Very accommodating for vegetarian and gluten free folks. Jordan is a great bartender!!

Carolyn Ruck

We Came here for our anniversary brunch. Irish egg entree was excellent, as was tomato herb soup and grilled cheese on gluten-free focaccia bread. Felt very cared for by staff.
