I absolutely love t. Loft and it is my go-to restaurant! Being gluten free and health conscious, this place is a god-send. I’ve tried multiple bowls, salads, teas and lattes and it is delicious every time. Staff is incredibly friendly and the restaurant is always clean :) I don’t mind waiting a while since they cook the warm meals fresh to order. Shana Cakes gluten free desserts bring me a lot of joy (especially the Valentine’s Day goodies); it’s hard to find such reliable dedicated gluten free space in Lawrence and this is hands down the best one!

Lovely shop hidden away serving a wide range of drinks. They have gluten free and regular bakery items. The place looks tiny on first look but entertaining it just keeps going with multiple side rooms. Giving a private quiet feeling.

Pickleman’s is my favorite sandwich place ever! You can’t ask for better toasted sandwiches, or an Italian chop salad. Ask for Giardiniera peppers on (almost) anything! The crew is usually efficient and friendly, and the managers are always that way. If you get a personal pizza, the 10” GF crust is actually the way to go even if you’re not looking for gluten free. It’s a better individual portion size, and it actually tastes better too.

Not a true gluten free menu, owner put down the waitress who was absolutely knowledgeable and extremely friendly to compensate for his lack of proper information regarding allergy menu. His menu offers gluten free options but there is not dedicated side for grill or toaster. It should be properly changed to gluten friendly. This can truly harm true Celiacs. Owner was absolutely rude and shook his head at having my order sent back even adding comments to other customers about allergies.

Kind and attentive service and delicious food. I’ve been to this location several times and always have a positive experience. They are great about letting me know what I can order/adjust for gluten and dairy allergies. I tried the Southwest Salad with the Dill dressing (gf/df) yesterday and it was so fresh and yummy!
