My first place to eat in NYC and my first time in a 100% GF restaurant. everything was so good, I got the Açaí bowl and the Classic Cheese Bread whilst my Grandmother got the Panini, she can eat gluten but said it was the best bread she’d ever had! I’d highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for bread you can chew!

Staff is wonderful and the environment is always tidy and clean. Their Pasta Bolo has got to be one of my favorite dishes - gluten-free, diary-free guilt-free, all without feeling like I’m sacrificing anything.

Literally one of the best veggie sandwiches I’ve ever had! I switched out the honey mustard for the hummus and was able to get it made on gluten free bread. It was quite pricey though. $16 for JUST the sandwich and I’m pretty sure there was an upgrade for gluten free even though the gluten free bread is always way smaller than regular bread and possibly an up charge for the hummus.

There was a great variety of food from the many different eateries to choose from. The places we ate from had fresh elements to their dishes which was very pleasing. La Palapa served fresh guacamole and salsa with their food - which also had fresh elements of vegetables incorporated into them. We also ate from some Thai/Indian eateries within the vicinity that had delicious dairy/gluten free food with fresh elements to their dishes. It was quite crowded and a challenge to find seating - but expectedly so during the busy holiday season.

Drinks here are a 10/10! Food I can’t say the same. This sandwich was $19 (gluten free bread added), and for that price I was expecting a huge and delicious breakfast sandwich. Sadly it’s very mid, skimpy with the portions, and just overall not good for the price! I didn’t even finish it because it just tasted so blah. For the price of food I would skip. But again, their drinks are amazing and worth the money.

Daniel was beyond warm and welcoming, that we decided to visit again and try other items.we dined in, and he helped us choose the best items on the menu. The french cream pastry was indeed delicious. My mom tried their gluten free bread and she liked it. Honestly one of the best customer service I’ve received ! He’s a great conversationalist , both my mom and I loved our visit!

Gluten free deliciousness! Yummmmm! Found this bakery on Yelp. It’s steps away from the hotel. Lots of pastries, coffee, wonderful tea, nice ambiance, clean cafe, and friendly service. They only had 1 gluten free option but it’s CHOCOLATE (GF chocolate cake with ganache center) - who needs anything else?!

Walked in around 11:00pm. Only half the salad bar was full, but still offered a great selection. They have everything on snacks and beverages, especially for health-conscious peeps like me that need vegan or gluten free options !! Plus staff is very friendly :) the place is cleaner than most take-our buffets you will run into in Manhattan
