Great gluten free options.

Cakabakery provided us an amazing gluten + gluten free wedding cake for our wedding and everyone raved about it!! Despite the company messing up our tasting TWICE and not being as organized as I would have liked, I went with them anyway because their cake was SO good and reasonably priced. Day of delivery was on time and there was no notes. ty!

We really enjoyed this spot. The ambiance and service were great. Love how you can get a waffle any time of the day, especially a gluten free waffle! My favorite out of the love me tender, ol’ blue eyes, and hashtag (all were ordered gf) was the love me tender. If you are a peanut butter lover like me you have to get this one!

This local shop really checks all the boxes. The space alone is great. Very charming and cozy, definitely a place that makes you feel welcome. I was shocked at how many drink options they offer! I'm an adventurous eater/drinker, so I love experimenting just as much as I enjoy the classics. I needed caffeine in a bad way, but otherwise I think I would've tried one of the many tea lattes or even a shrub beverage! Everything looked great. The latte I ended up deciding on was excellent. Bonus points: they stock quite a lot of goodies, and many (all?) are local, with lots of gluten-free options. There are dairy alternatives for the drinks as well. With my little to no knowledge of the area, I can't officially say West Side is Best Side, but I'll definitely make a point to stop back here on my next drive through!

Very cute coffee shop in grand rapids! Both indoor and outdoor seating and a number of books for purchase as well as locally made objects and jewelry. They have vegan and gluten free pastries and multiple alternative milk options

Danielle Melgar

Very thoughtful, comfortable, and efficient business. We had a really positive experience overall and will definitely be coming back next time we’re in town! Recommend for vegans, vegetarians, folks who are gluten-free, and anyone who wants good food, coffee and conversation or a pleasant workspace. Delicious food: My partner is vegetarian and got the brunch wrap. I’m vegan and got the resolution. Both were delicious and filling. Also the brown sugar coffee was SO good. Cozy, calming atmosphere: Good music at a good volume for both conversation and working on your laptop. Good natural light. Very clean. Efficient: We had the perfect amount of interaction with our waiter. Food and drinks came quickly. We paid through a QR code on the receipt. Bonuses: Gender neutral bathroom had a changing table stocked with wipes and diapers. Also loved that they leaned into the “penny” theme.

This place is dangerous! i live upstairs and probably go here way to often, and when i dont go here for my morning coffee i feel like im missing out. the pastry's are delicious! even the gluten free vegan ones, which is hard to say from other places. and the coffee is a delight, made with love every time. hearts in the foam even in a to go cup.

The coffee was good however the service was a little lacking. They did have gluten-free bagels that the wife had she said it was okay.

Mo Fisher

They do try to carry a decent amount of "gluten-free" "vegan or vegetarian" items. Awesome coffee & beer selections. They have a fresh meat counter, too, plus lots of gourmet cheese. It's worth stopping in & checking them out.

Visited for the first time today, it was a great experience! The ladies at the counter were very friendly. I ordered a Masala chai, and she warned me that it is spicier than most chais, which I was all for, but I appreciated the warning. It was delicious! The kitchen for lunch didn't open for another 5 minutes, so I looked around at local artist's displays, and local goodies they had for sale. It was also nice to just sit in a comfortable chair and wait for my food to be brought out to me. I ordered the farmers wife sandwich on gluten free bread, which had great flavor. Generous on the goat cheese and avocado spread. All in all - excellent experience, can't wait to be back, and will probably spend more of my lunches here!

Søren Hoffman

My fiancee and I just had our first visit to this place, and it was phenomenal! Food was 10/10, atmosphere was quiet and cozy and comfortable, and the service was prompt and friendly. We both got coffee beverages as well as food, and presentation and taste were both incredible! They were also able to cater to my partners gluten allergy, which is a huge plus for us! Only slight downside is that it is rather pricy, but I am happy to support a small local business when I can afford to!

Carrie Elizabeth

A healthy and adorable place for a quick bite! The mood bowl is my favorite, I love there are so many gluten and dairy free options. Plus the staff is always helpful and takes their time with your order. This is truly an experience.

Lauren Eby

I came here for the gluten free options and did get glutened. The waitress was not at all knowledgeable about gluten and reassured me multiple times that the ‘cookie’ in my milkshake was gluten free, but it was made with wheat flour. Proceed with extreme caution if you are highly sensitive to gluten or have celiac.

Hope Staal

Perfect place for a quiet Saturday morning. They have milk alternatives for lattes and a couple gluten free cookies available.

Tarah Carnahan

Our favorite neighborhood spot with the friendliest service and delicious drinks (and toasts). Also a great selection of gluten and dairy free snacks to bring home!

kvlinden

Our favorite coffee shop in Grand Rapids - Laid-back atmosphere and nice gluten-free vegan pastries (from Rise Bakery).

Tonya Wilholt

Roomy yet cozy cafe with good drink options, including root beer and kombucha on tap. Gluten-free pastries from Rise Bakery were an unexpected plus. One of the rare coffee houses to be open in the evening. Would definitely visit again.

Meg Roelfsema

Quaint little local spot that my husband & I like to visit frequently. The coffee is good & they serve gluten-free/dairy-free baked goods (from a local bakery), as well as normal ones, which I appreciate! The space/parking can be a bit tight at times, but other than that, we love it! The staff is always welcoming, kind & efficient - just overall a good vibe!

Carley (Cosmic Carleyy)

Such a sweet company with a lot of amazing options vegan, gluten free and any way you'd like! YUM and such a GORGEOUS space

Rebecca Bankes

I had an artichoke sandwich on gluten free bread and it was extremely good.

Rosalie Weatherhead

Egg bites are great for people with gluten sensitivity

Eric Siewert

Superb coffee spot. Excellent coffee options, wonderful jazz playlist. Cute characters and wall decor and a brightly lit spot. Great for meeting up, having a cuppa, and enjoying life. They have gluten free breakfast bars and cookies and great bagels and sandwiches as well as a wide array of teas.

Terry LaForge III

The gluten free donut was super good. They were super busy and still had a decent work flow that allowed them to keep the line going. The coffee is very fruity (personally don't like fruity coffee)But the coffee was all around good

Meg Cole

Our family spent a wonderful Easter brunch together at City Flats. We’ve done quite a few Easter brunches over the years, but this one was extra special. The food options were perfect for a couple of us with gluten and dairy sensitivities. I usually can’t get dessert because of dairy/gluten issues, but City Flats had several options including dairy free chocolate covered strawberries. The venue had a charming elegance to it and the service paid attention to every detail. Until Next Year City Flats !

Kathleen Gill

Visiting from out of town and staff was pleasant and helpful when I asked them questions about the different products. Latte was delicious as was their homemade bakery items. They have gluten free options and are close to the children's museum which is a plus for parents/caregivers when visiting.

Bruce Bylsma

Great breakfast cooked right and served hot. Loved the pannenkoeken - golden brown with just a bit of crisp. Jan said the gluten free toast was good too. If you are of Dutch heritage you may know pannenkoek.

Terry Calderwood

We were absolutely impressed with our 1st visit to Clean Eatz. All 4 meals that we ordered were fresh, delicious and flavorful. They have yummy options for our gluten-free daughter too! We will most definitely go back to enjoy in person dining or to buy a meal from their extensive selection of take out meals. In addition, it was so refreshing in find delicious healthy meals at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend:)

I have been searching for a great coffee shop in Grand Rapids for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally found one! They offer a fantastic selection of drinks and a great variety of desserts, including gluten-free options. There are plenty of spaces to study or work, which is a big plus. My only request is that they lower the volume of the music, as it can get quite loud—something I've noticed in many coffee shops. I hope they consider adjusting the music volume. Other than that, this coffee shop is wonderful. Thank you for opening it in our neighborhood! I highly recommend this place. Ps: The cups are incredibly great size!

Becca Anderson

Beautiful U-Pick farm with plenty of pre-picked produce in the farm market as well! All of the baked goods are incredible - pies, cakes, fudge, donuts, and gluten free donuts that are the best around! Hard cider, hot cider, coffee, cider slushies, they have everything and more. The only negative is my bank account wondering when I'll stop buying more salsa & baked goods.
