My favorite place to bring my vegan and gluten free friends. They adore the food and I love seeing them happy. Such a vibey place.

Jess Kooiman

J. Selby's is one of my absolute favorite places in the Metro. The food is all delicious. Tons of gluten free options, too!

Sarah Cichon

Love this place to enjoy quality food with my celiac daughter.

Samantha Anondson

This place is the one place I go to where I feel and know what I’m eating is safe! Tons of options to choose from!

Bob

Get here early as it fills up FAST! Great food and service. Highly recommend Hashbrown rancheros. Gluten free bread is house made and tasty!

Melina Lee

They make the best gluten free and vegan breads. The cinnamon rolls are amazing and should definitely be eaten as soon as you can while it’s still warm

Perry Andrews

It's so great to have a restaurant in our town that so consistently creates and serves the community wonderful, fresh, sustainable, delicious food. And for someone who has to be gluten free, to be able to have something like the GF pumpkin pancakes of my last visit is the bomb.

Molly Vielhauer

almost the entire menu can be modified to gluten free!

Nora Bengtson

All flavors except 1 were gluten free and they had gluten free waffle cones!!!

Laura Fredrickson

This unassuming little cafe is SO AMAZING! I travel across town just to eat here. I can't get enough of everything on their Gluten Free Menu - the pancakes are to die for, and I take home at least two of their scones, almond & lemon bars. (yes, they are ALL gluten free!) I am OBSESSED with this place 💖

Kayla Hanson

I love their gluten free cupcakes and cakes! I can't find them anywhere else. They are the best!

I’ve had much better tasting and textured gluten free and vegan selections elsewhere. I would not choose this place as my top option if I needed either of those as a serious accommodation. Pricing for the quality and the service was basically awful. My table got three drinks (two small hot teas and a small latte) and three cake slices and paid $45. The latte was up-charged $2 because I am lactose intolerant and ordered oat milk for it. I understand an up charge because the milk is typically more expensive than regular, but basically every other cafe for miles well out-competes a $2 extra charge. The most expensive I’ve seen locally before this was $1. In a perfect world allergy and intolerance accommodations would cost no extra, as people like me can’t really help wanting to live like others and have a little cafe latte that won’t hurt us. When asked if I wanted a box I said I would, as I still had a half slice of cake left. No box was ever brought to my table and the waiter never mentioned it again even as we said goodbye to him and left. In fact, almost every interaction with the waiter was tinted with what seemed like haughtiness or disdain on his end. Maybe because we only came and sat for desserts and coffee/tea and therefore were not “high value” customers. Overall this place seems full of itself and really not worth the trouble and expense to have sub-par cakes and a cup of tea. Hoping this is a rare experience.

Great atmosphere inside and out. MVK patio is very dog-friendly. Service is friendly and fast. Our server wasn’t very knowledgeable about vegan options. We ordered the only vegan main course, ratatouille. Unfortunately, the vegetables were under cooked and the seasoning wasn’t anything special. The tahini carrots were also undercooked. The spring rolls are premade, so lacked the chewiness of fresh rolls - and cannot be ordered without cilantro 😖 We did enjoy our drinks and the vegan/vegetarian slider that was on HH special was very good… just wish they offered it on a gluten bun. Overall, we wouldn’t recommend MVK for vegan fare, BUT I do recommend if you are looking for an attractive, dog-friendly patio with good drinks, friendly service and a social crowd.

Madeline Rothwell

I live out of state and this place was SO delicious! I'm allergic to dairy, and gluten and they had several awesome options for me 🥰

Ella B.

Lovely little shop. They had a lot more unique teas than what I’ve seen at other places along with interesting coffee specials such as a squash latte for fall. They serve all sorts of gluten free items such as pastries and ice cream.

Haley Larson

Amy's Cupcake Shoppe is a gem in Hopkins, MN, and an absolute must-visit! As a gluten-free and vegan dessert lover, I can confidently say this is my number one spot for cupcakes. The care and creativity Amy and her team pour into crafting treats that everyone can enjoy—no matter their dietary needs—is unmatched. And trust me, as a baker myself, I know how tricky it is to perfect gluten-free and vegan goodies. But at Amy's, they absolutely nail it every time. Beyond the deliciousness, what sets Amy's apart is their heart. Amy and her team are so much more than expert bakers—they’re champions for the community. Whether it’s supporting local events, collaborating with other businesses, or simply making their shop a welcoming space for all, you can feel the love and passion in everything they do. If you’re looking for incredible sweets made with intention and a team that radiates kindness and joy, Amy’s Cupcake Shoppe is the place to be. Do yourself a favor and try their cupcakes (and cookies, and macarons—you won’t regret it!).

Patricia Allen

We had a lovely late lunch between flights at the Minneapolis airport. I am Celiac so the menu was so refreshing! Our server, Ken, was very attentive and very efficient. The only downside was the cost! Our lunch was almost $150! (with two drinks each and tip).

Paula Schroeder

Gluten free fish fry was the bomb,perfect,please consider putting it on the permanent menu,or some version of it. We will eat plenty of it!

Kelly Reymann

Waited 45 minutes for 2 omelettes with hashbrowns. Omelettes were small, ham was sliced up lunchmeat and the hashbrowns were so salty they were inedible. The female staff person emptying the garbage went straight to touching clean silverware and then to serve our food without washing her hands. The only good part of the visit was the gluten-free chocolate muffin, however, I will find out in a couple hours if it was actually GF. I would not visit this place again.

Katie Binder

I always have a good experience here. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options and a million things to choose from. Food always comes out fresh, have yet to try the coffee so that’ll be a nice treat. Prices are average / decent but cinnamon rolls are an excellent value at under $3 each

Kirsten Garvin

Kingdom has great coffee, but it’s the people behind the bar that make this shop what it is. I look forward to my drink as much as I do the friendly, joy-filled conversation — best way to start a morning. An added perk is that Isabelle and Jaeden put so much thought into selecting healthy, whole-food ingredients for the entire menu — both for the drinks and for the food. They also have delicious bakery goods (many gluten-free) made by a local bakery. Make a stop. You’ll be glad you did!

Jenna Fischer

Super cute place with awesome vibes. Coming from the cities with a plethora of gluten free cafes I'm not impressed by the gf brownie, muffin, or bread :( so sorry kinda dry not great flavor but still worth the occasional outing :)

Jennifer J

Very good, and everyone changes gloves after serving each guest. It's definitely a great place for gluten-free dessert after dinner.

panther panther

Soft serve is not special unless you’re vegan and gluten free. Terrible place to work unless it’s your first job

Marian Farah

We've came here many times today me and my kids had the worst experience the cashier was not nice and unaware of the stores options of gluten free and food options. He was not pleasant and my waffle was very doughy and soggy. I told them the remade it and it was still the same. Whoever the chef back there is doesn't know how to make waffles my 9 year can do better than that. Waste of time and money ruined for us. Never coming back here again.

Molly V

was excited to come here due to the many reviews about gluten free options which are very hard to find. Sadly they did not have anything gluten free 😕

Danielle Kirkpatrick

Loved this place! If you’re gluten free - they will take good care of you! My kid has a gluten allergy and they were so careful to accommodate and she was enamored with the food. Service was fantastic also! Great experience! Will make this a regular stop when in the Twin Cities! ❤️

Beverley Mack

This is a fantastic small town cafe. I was so happy to see that they had gluten free options, and they do their best to avoid cross contamination. The gluten free pancakes are my favorite, but some of their lunch items like salads are also great. All of my family loves coming here when they visit.

Elisanna

I’ve gone here about 5 times over the past few years and I’ve always had a lovely experience! Great food, service, and a quiet atmosphere. The pickle fries are especially amazing!! The prices are also very reasonable, which is a plus. They also have gluten free bread options which is a HUGE plus. Thank you!!!

Jeannae Flageolle

What a CUUUUTE restaurant!!! And there is a SHOP attached and a sweet display of SWEETS!! 🍬🍭 I got some souvenir items to represent our honeymoon trip and some last minute Christmas presents!! AND THE FOOD WAS DELIGHTFUL!! The raspberry CREAM gluten free pie was to DIE for.

Jon Bunger

Had the most TASTY treats from Key's for a work event. They even sent some gluten free offerings for our coworkers with sensitivity. Best snack I've had in forever- I've got to check out what they offer in their restaurant now!

Emilie Blankenship

Great place to visit, study, and socialize! Absolutely love the welcoming atmosphere and vibes! Super cozy spot to spend a cold day. The spinach pie is GREAT! and there are gluten free options available.

Beverly Gallaher

We just ordered the gluten-free salted caramel cake for a special event. Finding a delicious gluten-free cake is not an easy task, but Nadia Cakes definitely delivered. All of our guests loved it, even those who are not gluten-free.

This is a cute little coffee shop they have great coffee, great customer service, and pretty decent food options as well as some gluten free options too.

Mary Dickey

Julia went out of her way to find someone to check on gluten free cinnamon donuts for me. I really appreciate her help! This was the only place I could find this brand. Everyone has always been so friendly and they know what customer service should look like! Thank you!

Megan Relson

Great breakfast (and lunch) sandwhiches and pastries including gluten free and vegan options. High quality crafted espresso and coffee drinks. Highly recommend for both food and drink options.

Nathan Moore

No seating outside because of the threat of rain ( which did not appear). Dining room was unbearably hot - a few family members had to leave early because of the temperature. Fish tacos were great and there were lots of gluten-free options. Corn tortillas were raw though - not fried on the griddle for 30sec which makes them better. Coleslaw and pickles were well flavored, but in general the portions were small for the price we paid $25/person for 5ppl. The fish and chips fillet was huge though and everything tasted fantastic. Definitely worth visiting.

Danielle Steele

Only give reviews if places are exceptionally good or bad, and this was the best acai bowl I’ve ever had…and I lived in Brazil! Loved the base flavors (not overly sweet, great consistency, wonderful flavors), the fruit toppings were so fresh, and all the granolas were gluten free. Please open a location in Kalispell Montana!

Adam Bonner

Super cute place to stop on the way between twin cities and Duluth/North woods. (I'm sure the locals know about it already!) Gluten free options with a dedicated panini press, great sandwich options, good coffee. Clean restrooms and indoor or patio seating. Friendly and helpful service.

Keva Munter

Great food, loved all of the gluten free options! Friendly service with a great atmosphere!

Tammy Nienaber

Had the Alfredo bacon breakfast pizza, with half left for tonight's dinner. Plus my usual order of gluten-free cheesecake to-go. Yum!

David MacPhail

Gluten free pancakes were awesome! The portions were out of control, three pancakes were WAY too much! The service, atmosphere and real maple syrup were great.

Deanna Julich

This is a bustling coffee shop for such a small town. They have traditional and creative drinks and fantastic pastries - gluten free options too! Very friendly staff. Hope to stop again!

Rebecca Stewart

My absolute favorite coffee shop in St. Paul. Staff is always friendly and the drinks are delicious. Love that they carry sift gluten free donuts too.

Jonathan Painter

Lots of gluten free options

Crystal Vrieze

Throughly enjoy this grocery store. Has many gluten free grocery items that taste good. Much needed for Rochester.

Susan Powell

This place is fantastic!! Excellent coffee! And great gluten free options. The service was wonderful as well.

Corey Wondra

What a fantastic place to go eat, everything was delicious. Such a cool old school vibe. Great place to take your kids and even your dog, they have a kids playground and a dog park. Amazing fries and shakes, my strawberry shake was unreal, full of delicious strawberry. They accommodate gluten sensitivities with a gluten free bun.
