My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

We ordered 2 coffees some pastries and 2 sandwiches all were delicious. Some of the best gluten free bread I have had. Loved the inclusive menu!

Cafe Audrey has been a go-to for my gluten-free pancake needs for 1.5 years now! I only give 4/5 stars because sometimes the cakes/toast can be a bit dry. Their cinnamon sugar butter paires well with the pancakes. They're on the expensive side, but the people there are friendly and welcoming. They have really good mimosas with different flavors. I like the pineapple and the sunrise grenadine mimosas! It's less packed during the week and in the mornings before noon. On the weekends, if you go in the morning before 11, you can sit yourself. I would recommend going before noon to avoid waiting since the place is so small, they don't really have a waiting area.

Loved this little sandwich shop. The gluten-free bagel was so good, it made me so happy to find a great place for a quick bite with gluten-free options! Next time I’m passing through again, I will definitely be stopping by!

Alicia Mendoza

Sam P was a great server! Abundant gluten free options. Will be back again!

Nicholas Froggatt

We really enjoyed the jerk chicken wrap and the BBQ chicken salad, and left with some delicious desserts! Tons of gluten-free options, and it was great meeting the owner and her family.

V. L. Gall

Yes they have gluten free options

Hailey

Reasonably priced food for ths atmosphere and food presentation/freshness. It was really good. The bacon was so yummy. They also have gluten free bread!

Krystal Combs

The food is amazing, and as someone who is medically gluten-free, their gluten free options taste amazing. The vibe and music is delightful and if you love plants Gold Leaf is definitely your vibe.

I love coming here. The food is great- I can’t help but get the baked oatmeal every time. The baristas are so peppy and kind. The coffee is solid and the seasonal drinks are always changing so you can try something new. Quite a few gluten free baked-goods options.

Sarah P

Coffee was delicious and went well with GF brownie. Very good brownie. They had two gf treats- maybe not a good breakfast location

Randy Tooley

This is an amazing coffee shop! The atmosphere just says community. It is a great place to work, study, or meet friends for a great cup of coffee. AND … they have something gluten free for the guy with Celiac Disease. Another win! I highly recommend this coffee shop and it’s my go-to place when I’m in the area.

Michael Wolsiefer

This is fantastic ice cream. They have allergy friendly options and label their ice creams so you know what's available. Great location, lots of options, friendly staff. I think out of all the gluten free / vegan places we have tried this one is the best.

Laure Anne

Lots of options on the menu. The gluten free bread was good. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Zoe Strawbridge

Cake was my favorite growing up and I hadn’t been there in ages. I stopped in yesterday to pick up a pastry and I got the Marie Antoinette. Oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious. The fresh raspberries with the rose were perfect. I’d already checked out when I saw a gluten-free cake option- will definitely be back to try! It makes me so excited to see more and more gluten-free options!

Sarah Crawford

What can I say, Ascend is the best! They consistently have amazing coffee, food and service. There is ample seating for when you want to come and get work done and for when you just want to chill and hang out with friends. They have great gluten free options that aren’t ridiculously priced. Their house made syrups make their lattes taste delicious. I can’t recommend Ascend enough!

J Powell

I've gotten a few really good gluten free cakes from them in the past, but last week I called twice and left messages with no call back. And this week I've tried calling several times and no one answers the phone.

Mom Knows Best

I ordered the vegan crab cake and it was so delicious. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her. I love that I can find a place that is not only vegan but also has gluten-free options. I felt safe eating there with my wheat, soy and dairy food allergies.

Rick Brye

Like thier Donuts!! Offer a gluten free option also

Elizabeth Sabato

Amazing coffee and teas flavors! And delicious macaroons and gluten free options makes this place a 5 stars in my book!

kristine iozzo

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was divine! They have many Gluten Free options and I can’t wait to go back!

I just loved this place. Sadly I don’t live near here, we were just passing through for the holidays. But this place is so cool. The food was amazing, so flavorful and reasonable prices for being healthy. Dairy free options, vegan options, and gluten free. I got the rainbow salad with this amazing salad dressing I think they make there, I just loved it. The employees were very nice and helpful, I kept having to ask questions, but they still remained kind! My only complaint is that they Don’t have a phone number to call. I had to call the rock wall company that it’s in the building to ask about the cafe.

A yummy new to us place we tried out last week for brunch when we were in Indy. Everything we had was delicious but the acai bowl and rose apothecary drink were my personal favs! My husband had the salmon Hash, our daughter had the BLT which had a fried egg + avocado on it and I had the B Ripp Burrito. We also got the Acai Bowl it had housemade cashew granola on it , it was so good and rly made the bowl. As well as the Blueberry hotcakes which came with fresh blueberries, to all share and try. Literally everything was delicious. I saw other people's food around us and I do not think you could go wrong with anything you had. We will definitely go back because there were other things we would like to try The place was in a really neat fun area, all the staff were super friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable. Overall it just had a rly good cozy vibe. I wish I had felt better so we could've explored the surrounding area some. I really love that they had locally sourced food from small + local farmers, fresh cold pressed juices and used the best quality (& organic) ingredients when possible. There were options for everyone gluten free, vegetarian and vegan. So very inclusive. Overall food + experience was a 10/10. Oh I almost forgot we got a flight of fresh juices to try as well and they were all really good. You could tell they were freshly made and pressed. Edit: the last 3 photos are for a different place but I cannot figure out how to delete them. Sorry for any confusion.

Smooth creamy coffee! Really good 🤤 and gluten free options for those who are snackish. Really cool spot

Victoria Rayburn

Highly recommend the spiced chai! While Amelia’s has bread galore, they also have several great gluten-free options, which I appreciate. The staff is also always wonderful and kind. All around, a wonderful spot to spend an hour or two!

Sara McGovern

I am new to bouldering, but I love this place! So many routes to try for beginner climbers in Indianapolis. Great time and the cafe in the building is an added bonus. It has good gluten free food options!

Angie Nelson

I got take out so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or service, but I will say that it was super fast and incredibly delicious. There’s a unique variety of options and perfectly prepared. Gluten free toast was great - which is rare. The coffee was perfect - try the oat milk horchata cold brew! Even the jelly was special. Can’t wait to try more items.

Jessica Taylor

The coffee was amazing and they have the best gluten-free focaccia bread that they make there for the sandwiches! Highly recommend.

Bob Cannon

Great food. Cool atmosphere. Gluten free options! The strawberry orange juice was amazing!

Aaron Lawson

Delicious experience at the coffee shop! Wonderfully house baked or locally baked goods offered daily. There are several gluten free options (a must for me) and very reasonably priced. Berry picking (and eating) with kids can be so much fun and this little farm tucked away in such an urban area is a rare find! The staff here are amazing and I couldn’t ask for a more convenient location. Support this business and local, fresh garden fruits and veggies as well as baked goods!

Dawn

We decided to try this several months back and now we won’t order from anywhere else. We love their pizza and their service. My husband has been gluten free for a couple of years and their cauliflower crust is delicious. I’ve tasted it elsewhere and thought it was disgusting, but not anymore. We usually order one cauliflower crust pizza and one traditional and have pleased with both. We always have it delivered and the wait is typical-30 to 45 minutes. If you live near the south side and are looking for a new pizza place to try outside if the typical chain-give this place a consideration!

Aaron Reed

Food was really good. Service was kinda meh. And $5 for a single non refillable glass of orange juice is a little excessive. Gluten free bread was really good for gluten free.

Sharon Claassen

The service was good at this Panera. The food was prepared quickly and they had outdoor seating available. If you follow a gluten free diet, they do not have gluten free bread; however there are many options on the menu that do not have ingredients with gluten. I would highly recommend the pick 2 menu!

Scout Elder

Passed through Indianapolis on a road trip and made a 30 minute detour to visit this coffee shop. Well worth it! Don’t skip this place. Mitchell greeted every customer like a regular and whipped up our order super quickly. The atmosphere, music, art, and comfortable and eclectic seating are fun and friendly. Even at just a glance it feels like the cafe is really down to earth and fully a part of the neighborhood. Drinks and food are fairly priced and, most importantly, delicious. Vegan and gluten free options are plentiful. I had an iced oatmilk latte and salted chocolate chip cookie and my wife ordered a veggie hash burrito, all amazing. The salsa that came with the burrito is the best. If I’m ever in Indianapolis again, I’ll be back!

Mary Beth Gianoli

Love Panera. Especially the gluten free options!

Heather Ford

Calming atmosphere, extremely friendly staff, best gluten and dairy free cookie Ive had, has a very large number of different pump flavors :)

Much needed local coffee shop for our community! The shop itself is clean and adoreable with the gifts/ locally crafted items inside for sale. Coffee is great, pastries looked delish, and the service from the ladies behind the counter is always top notch. They definitely make you feel like family. They remembered that I'm gluten free and said they would work on getting gluten free food options! Hope this coffee shop stays around for many years to come!

Carol Clark

Unique handcrafted espresso drinks and cocktails. Great vegan and gluten free grab and go breakfast. Stop here for an awesome experience!

Kerly

Lots of options for breakfast and lunch. Be sure to ask about gluten free options. I had 3 pancakes with bananas ($9 for pancakes and$2 for fruit). They also have adult beverages. Very clean with trendy decor.

Judy Feldhausen

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Got the question: What is gluten?

Alexis Bloom

Great service with friendly staff! We found out that everything is certified gluten-free, so it's very allergen friendly as well. We got the Boba and it was very good and energizing! I will be back to try their crepes and pancakes!

What a refreshing little Cafe! I stopped for coffee (sumatra 10 out of 10), ended up getting a delicious, Gluten-free lavender scone, and left knowing I am blessed. Thank you for raising spirits lovely baristas of God's Embrace coffee shop. ✌🏻💖🙏🏻🫂

Audrey

Gluten free snack options and a good quality and variety of loose leaf teas. Nice quiet relaxing environment. Friendly helpful staff. I’m sure there’s more good things to say, but that’s what I was looking for today and I found it.

Sarah Arnold

Just got the new gluten free donuts and they are so good!!! No label at the table did an amazing job and I hope this partnership continues. Will be visiting often for gluten free treats!!!
