Delicious gluten free eats and amazing coffee, atmosphere, and workers!

Dan Sheehan

This is a great spot for food allergies. My wife had a fried chicken sandwich which was gluten free and she was in heaven. I had their signature black bean burger and the jalapeno jam was very tasty.

Kolin McKelvey

Food was good. We got their beignets and some breakfast stacker crepes. My Celiac wife forgot to tell them that she was gluten free so they had to remake the dish for her. They were very nice about it. Only reason for lack of star was server wasn’t very attentive and forgot silverware

We were told to visit Old Europe Pastries because they have gluten-free options. Indeed, they do! The carrot cake is outstanding. We also got what I'll call a lemon bundt cake (which I can't remember the exact name, sorry), which was excellent. We'll definitely go back!

Rob Aspell

The staff is always kind, the atmosphere is inviting and as someone with celiac it's great to be able to have anything on the menu. I like to try something new every visit.

Naomi Peterson

Great, classic American foods with choices on the menu for everyone! I am celiac, my son isn't, and we both had a delicious breakfast and lattes!

Donna Shultz

Such a wonderful eclectic coffee shop with all gluten free treats. I got the lavender cardamon scone that was delicious!! The cinnamon sugar oatmilk latte was yummy, too.

Dina Karpukov

I’m a visitor from CT and I love this place! Since I had to be gluten free, I can enjoy beer again!

Jen Ulbrich

Gluten free food that tastes amazing!!

A Singletary

This place is under new ownership and definitely miss the original staff. They got rid of a lot of the valuable , free health literature which was nice to take home to read with your purchases. Overall still a great place to find your nutritional needs and they have a huge selection in the back of the store for Gluten free.

Let me just say- a cafe that is SPACIOUS, open EVERY DAY until 8pm, has tons of flavors, is affordable, GREAT service!!!! this was my first time here and i got a cold brew with sugar free chocolate and raspberry it was SO GOOD!! i am gluten free and appreciated the separate case for gf items, but unfortunate it all contains nuts so i wasn’t able to try any of it… however it looks fantastic!!!

Carly Anne

Wowza!! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious these gluten free deserts were. I stumbled upon this place by happenstance and since I’m gluten free decided to try the brownie, pecan pie and gingerbread cookie. I’m use to gluten free deserts having a slightly odd flavor or grainy texture so I was expecting this from what I purchased. Boy was I wrong!! Everything taste divine and the textures were on par!! Again, I was so pleasantly surprised that I had to write this review right away. Can’t wait to come back and try new things 😁

Marie Schwirten

Amazing gluten free baked goods, multiple options!

Diane Eblin

GF hash brown waffles and buckwheat crepes. Yum

Kaitlin Kobrenski

Donutz was delish!

Sara K

Beware the vegan gluten free muffin. Delicious, but NOT gluten free!

John Yates

I want to start by saying, we really liked the restaurant and food was great! Their gluten free bread was really good also. The reason for the 3 star review though is solely based on our experience with the waitress. When we ordered I ordered their Turkey club, hella good btw, and asked for gluten free bread. I then asked for the french fries. Her body language and attitude immediately changed very aggressively and replied, “I can’t give you that” I asked why, and she said “because they’re fried in the same oil as other things”. I then tried to explain that I have more of a gluten intolerance and would be fine. I live with it and know my body. “She then got even more rude and defensive and said “ Well I will not be responsible if you get sick then” I have never been treated like that over gluten before. I greatly appreciate the concern she was trying to convey however the level of rude and tone of talking to me like a child was extremely off putting and honestly will never go back there because of her. We genuinely really loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant until her. Maybe she was having a bad day but to be nice and friendly and then a complete 180 difference was extremely disappointing.

I love this place. I've been here a few times and I like it more the more I visit. The food options are numerous for me (Gluten allergy) and I'm all about organic foods. They are also very conscious of allergies and accommodate accordingly. The staff is friendly and playful, too! They clearly care about the principles of this place. And atmosphere is nothing special, but gets the job done. 5 stars for sustainability though, with their steel cutlery and plates. Come check it out! Totally worth it.

Artye Asvui

Plenty of parking. Large variety of groceries (including fresh produce)for such a small space. Reasonably priced coffee. Large variety of sandwiches. I don't know if they're all available gluten free. They sell records, books, Turkish coffee makers, insulated lunch holder, thermos for coffee. Cute and very informal space. Lots of outdoors eating space.

My husband, two kids, and I dined out for brunch on Easter morning. They had so many yummy gluten free options! I wish they carried GF pure organic maple syrup though as I am allergic to blueberries!

Heather Armstrong

Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.

Dawn Lineman

Love that it’s completely gluten free I have celiac and anxiety when trying new places but my biggest concern was what to eat I chose the khalessi bowl and hot mocha omg soooo gooooo if you like clean juice you will love this my partner had avacado toast and couldn’t tell it was gf wish I lived closer

Alison Salo

A true bright spot for those with Celiac Disease! Food and experience made our trip.

Tracie Lane

The best grits and eggs I've had in years. I also loved the gluten-free waffle. But what I loved most is the premise behind this place.

Amber Easterling

Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free on a separate surface. They also have a full bar. Perfect for brunch! 3 Charlotte locations! We got the Pineapple upside down pancakes and the Spuds Deluxe!

Morgan Smith

Amazing for people with celiac disease!!! They have separate prep areas so no risk for cross contamination, and the food is so good it makes you question if it’s gluten free. Best gluten free food on the beach!!!!!

Stephen Hamby

A great place that is easy to eat vegan and gluten free. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area.

Christopher Rampton

We came here twice on an extended weekend and got to try the house made gluten free options: quiche, bagels, and a very yummy raspberry oat bar. All were delish! My wife had the same but traditional (not gluten free) and she enjoyed it. Pam is the owner and was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Kim Wilson

We visit Winston Salem every year for a dance convention and somehow have never been here until now. Tons of gluten free options and the staff is so friendly on a busy Saturday morning after a winter storm. We’ll definitely be back.

Jennifer Adolfie

Excellent food with many gluten free options! GF options are clearly marked on the menu. The GF bun was awesome. Definitely recommend!

James Roach

Amazing flavour options (with gluten and dairy free options as well!). Service is amazing and the place is very clean!

Stephanie Lake

Absolutely incredible bakery! I was so happy to find this spot after struggling to find good gluten free desserts that actually taste like the real thing. The GF chocolate hazelnut tart was rich, decadent, and impossible to tell it was gluten free. My husband, who doesn’t have to eat GF tried a few things and loved everything. Beyond the food the service here is top notch. The woman at the counter was so patient and kind, helping me navigate my allergies and making recommendations. You can tell the staff truly cares about their customers and the quality of what they serve. We’ll absolutely be back this is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Khary Williams

This place is amazing so many vegan options and everything is Gluten-free!! The atmosphere is one of a kind!!

Armine Ward

"Food is our common ground, a universal experience." — James Beard I would give the service a 10-STAR, and the gluten free crepes are a must try...they were soft, delicate texture and flavorful.

Melanie Elrod

Tasteful Beans is a place with a variety of delicious food and the gluten free selection is excellent - try the bagels! It is a place to see friends and to make new friends. The staff is personable and treats all customers with kindness. No matter the time of day, I always have some great food and a good time.

Lauren

Have been here several times. Regular donuts are great. The gluten free donuts are so dense and heavy though, they are a bit much for me. Almost like raw dough consistency. Great coffee!!

Robbey Lindstedt

My wife is gluten free and dairy free. This is one of only a few places in Raleigh who has both options and is most importantly...delicious 🤤

Jeremy Wood (Ex_Fat_Guy)

Came for the coffee, left with one of every baked good. Holy cow the baked treats are perfect. Gluten free brownie is to DIE FOR.

Bailey Seighman

The food was great. It was exciting to see so many gluten-free options!

zuhal acikgoz

The most delicious desserts in the Triangle area. The atmosphere and the service is great too. Halal and gluten free options are plus!

Josh Barbier

The food here is very good for airport food. There were burgers, sandwiches and other foods. Gluten free bread offered but they do share toaster with other breads. All food cooked on the same cook top as well so cross contamination is all but guaranteed. Not great for those sensitive celiacs.

Michael Ullman

I have to avoid gluten at all costs and this place provided a great selection of safe options. The food is good and the person taking the order was friendly and knowledgeable about the gluten issue and cross contact. Celiac Review

Emily Bowles

Great coffee. I used to love the BLT and all sandwiches. They have gluten free bread/bagels but no dedicated appliances so just can’t get it toasted. Staff was very kind!

Amber Easterling

Lots of gluten free options including sushi!! Let them know if you have celiac and they will take extra precautions and your meal will come out separately with an allergy stick. I feel very safe eating here!

Travis

I know it’s a chain, but this place is awesome. Great gluten free options too. Only tip is to not try and show up last minute on the weekend. Use the wait list online.

Heryka Knoespel

We can’t wait to eat here again. Enjoyed breakfast sandwiches, the gluten free pop tart, and oatmeal cream cookie. Delicious!

Jason Lazarus

Counter-service bagels, which are ok. Be aware that new ownership has paradoxically decided to eliminate both vegan and gluten free options from the menu. We were disappointed since we chose this place based on a Google search that claimed they have 3 vegan schmears and “a variety of gluten free options”. The staff is very friendly and prompt. The setting is cafeteria-like.

Sheena Luke

We're always able to find really delicious gluten free options, great for lunch or breakfast.

Jessica

Nice atmosphere and place to chill, barista seemed a bit apathetic. Nice gluten/dairy free options for treats!

Dan Jones

Great gluten/dairy free donut!
