It’s nice that they have so many gluten free donuts, but none of the donuts, gluten-full or gluten-free, were anything outstanding

Sweet staff, great flavors, I love that they have a very small size to choose. Only wish they would label their flavors dairy free, gluten free, nut free for allergens to prevent the need to ask

It's an absolute treat to have breakfast with gluten free toast! I had the veggie omelette and it was delicious with a drizzle of their local hot sauce. My husband had the eggs Benedict Florinte and the eggs were perfectly prepared. It was a full house but the staff kept the hot coffee flowing. The kitchen was also fantastic turning out the breakfast dishes quickly. When we left, there was a line of people waiting which is always a sign that the food is worth the wait.

Lots of tasty choices with strong Latin influence. Great gluten free options too. The smoothies are superb and margaritas are also great. Every time we visit Maine, we make sure to visit Quiero Cafe, we have been to both locations, Saco and Portland. The staff are very friendly.

Great place in Portland for a wood fired bagel and coffee. We researched Forage Market before and weren’t disappointed! The gluten-free sandwich and wood fired bagels were very good. Make sure to arrive early as they are freshly made and especially on weekends can run out fast.

Loved the tiramisu and the "gorgeous" (chocolate, caramel, and vanilla) flavors. Depending on the timing there can be a line, which is understandable given its prime location. Next time I'm back in Portland I'd love to try their coffee, it smelled delicious but it was just too late at night for me. They gave me a run down on flavors which contained gluten, although for the extremely sensitive I'd suggest caution because of the risk of cross contamination (they offer half flavors). I'm moderately sensitive and had no reaction myself.

Adorable, fun, aesthetically pleasing little spot! Also, one of the best cappuccinos I had in a long time. I wanted to buy everything! It makes you happy just being in there. However, we weren’t overly impressed with the food- the grilled cheese was bitter and the servicing of burrata was on the small side. The ambience made up for it though and I will be returning. Fabulous selection of gifts, food and wine - an absolute delight. Gluten free bread options available for $2.

Artemisia is one of Portland's very special small, privately owned cafes. What I appreciate is the friendliness of the wait staff. They are exceptional. The atmosphere is warm (big windows allowing for lots of sun), comfy booths, plants and art makes it very unique. The food is delicious and hot when you get it. They use natural ingredients, have vegan choices and gluten free english muffins. I love it for breakfast. My friend, who is very fussy, likes it too. Years ago, I had an office in this neighborhood, Artemisia is quiet, quaint and yummy.
