Oh my gosh...soooo good and safe place to eat! The banana bread waffle almost made me cry because it was delicious!! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely the best gf and vegan desserts I’ve ever had. I am celiac and have dairy/egg allergies and it’s near impossible to find a spot that has great desserts. I’m in Nashville for vacation from NJ and wanted to find a spot I could enjoy on vacation. The service was absolutely amazing, and the desserts event better. HIGHLY recommend!

Liked 3 of the 4 items that we purchased. Veggie Quiche, Lemon bars, and mixed berry scone were okay. Although, the only berry we found was blackberry. The sausage cheddar scone had a very dry and sandy texture which is surprising, especially since everything is gluten-free. I would think that they would have gotten the texture better.

Paula Cummings

Great burgers with gluten free options.

Alice Perrin

It feels like this is the kind of place where you have to know what is good and what isn’t—my husband had a burger bowl which was great and we both enjoyed it, but I got a hot chickn sandwich that was weirdly soft; the texture was off putting enough that I couldn’t tell if I didn’t actually like the flavors of it as a whole. We also got some cornbread which was an odd consistency, which we anticipated as it was gluten free, but it was also fairly bland, perhaps needing more salt? Because my husbands bowl was good I do think they probably have a lot of good options and we just chose poorly. The restaurant itself is casual and cute and we enjoyed the resident outdoor cats.

Put name on waitlist before going it definitely gets busy. We ended up sitting at the bar had Becca as our bartender. It was so nice we came back the next day. We had gluten free egg scramble with fruit. Cinnamon French toast and shrimp and grits . Blackberry smash and cold vanilla brew with almond milk.

Ashley Wiley

My fave vegan restaurant in Chattanooga!! such great service, really good food and amazing desserts! the gluten free availability is also awesome

Lydia Marks

The atmosphere was awesome, the food and coffee were delicious and I will definitely be coming back! I’m very sensitive to gluten and didn’t have any reaction to their gluten free crepes with sausage and egg. It was also very tasty and filling!

Benny Hinkle

Awesome!! Just go here. You won’t be disappointed. My wife who has a gluten allergy raved about the bun - fluffy and didn’t fall apart. And my picky eater daughter enjoyed her meal as well. We will be back!

Valeria Arrieta Araujo

Lots of Gluten Free options! We had the best waiter last time we where there (can’t remember her name) she was the nicest!!!

Zenettra Lebby

Great experience and ice cream!! They walked us through the flavors and prices. It's also celiac friendly. :-)

Tapan

Grilled cashew cheese was really good, and so was the soup. Tons of gluten free and vegan options. Desserts are great, as are the smoothies. You order at the register, but they have menus at the front you can grab and look at before ordering. They also have an outside area, some of which is covered. Will definitely come back.

Tim Joyce

One of our favorite spots to eat in The Nations! The American Breakfast with a Cuban coffee is my favorite, and their gluten-free biscuits are surprisingly delicious. The service is outstanding. Always friendly and attentive. A great dining experience here every time!

I decided I wanted to spend a little extra time in Chattanooga before I headed home after a continuing ed opportunity. I wanted a coffee and a treat to take on a walk by the river. After a little googling, I settled on Sleepyhead. It was a good choice! This little coffeeshop is inside the James Building. Truth be told, idk what else goes on inside the James Building, but the shop itself is on the left as you enter the front entrance. It's very small and there's only a couple of stools to sit on so it's mostly a grab and go operation, but wow is it adorable inside! I loved the welcoming, dreamy, upbeat vibes, as well as all the plants and the soft neon. One interesting thing on the menu is a couple CBD-infused drinks. Talk about sleepyhead! ;) I'd not seen that before but the concept is intriguing! Employees were super friendly and guided me in the direction of their sweeter current specialty lattes. They said one of the fruitier ones (raspberry? Strawberry? Can't remember) was the sweetest, but I don't like fruity coffee so I chose the pistachio latte instead. They made it for me quickly. I couldn't help but grab a donut and a sticker to commemorate my visit. All their food is vegan here and some of it is gluten free. I can't remember if my donut was GF or not, but I DO remember it being delicious. The icing on top wasn't gritty at all nor was it over sweet. The cake itself was a little bit dense but it kind of worked? I much prefer a cakey donut to an airy one so this was a winner for me! I can't remember if it was chai, Apple cider, or both, but it was definitely a spice cake and super yummy with my coffee. The coffee was tasty and VERY strongly pistachio, which I for one was all about! I love the nutty, slightly sweet, vanilla-y flavor. In a perfect world I like my drinks a little sweeter, but as I said, it's partly on me because the employees did tell me. Still, I enjoyed it very thoroughly and would definitely return. I'll enjoy my sweet sleepyhead cat sticker and think back on this visit fondly!

Jack Irwin

Had a very good breakfast here. Service was great and the waitress didn’t hesitate when I asked for gluten free options and recommendations. The gluten free pancake was fantastic and had a nice rise/fluffiness to it. I also had eggs with sausage, hash browns, and a side order of some special bacon. All in all a fantastic meal. A little pricey but the price suited the quality of service and food.

Laura Kaylor

As someone with severe reactions to gluten and soy, the staff were fantastic about answering questions about ingredients and ensured no cross contamination. Everything we ordered was amazing and our waitress Abbigail was fantastic!

Cathy Brummett

We happened upon this bakery traveling through Tennessee. I appreciated the gluten-free options. I had the Ruben sandwich with German potatoe salad my husband the pizza. Everything was delicious!!

Jacob Watson

Great food and great coffee! Great gluten free options!

Brittany Black

LOVED the food and all the healthy gluten free options!!! The frozen kombucha and kombucha on draft was delicious! We loved the concept here with all the fresh, local and organic. Open one in Troy Ohio!!! Unfortunately the restaurant can't help that many of the locals seemed to be rude and have a very snobby attitude but we enjoyed everything else about the place!

Stacey McD

OMG! Gluten-free biscuits that tasted like my mom’s! The restaurant is cute, and the staff is super-friendly! Thank you for a lovely brunch!

Laura Lord

Pizza is unique and delicious, especially love their gluten-free crust.

Megan Terry

I’ve been a few times over the years and it’s always been great! Unique booszie coffee options, healthy options, gluten free options. It’s a fantastic brunch spot. That said, get a reservation. There’s often a wait.

Fae Chrysalis

Had an issue today concerning the downtown location via door dash after eating here MANY times. The management at the West location and owner did a fantastic job problem solving and making us feel valid to want to come back again. Highly recommend for gluten free people's(I have celiac), and to support a locally owned and ran business. Thank you all.

Cheri Cochran

The coffee was great but the pastries were even better! They have many gluten free options! The line was not terribly long but it still took quite a while to order—only one register in the place. Outdoor seating area is quite nice!

Lady McBabs

Great job of being a safe place for Celiacs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great vibe, and good food. Nachos are super yummy!

Roark Perry

We love Jeni's. We had the strawberry shortcake parfait and ordered it gluten-free. they made it on the back counter with fresh ice cream tubs and, of course, omitted the waffle wedge. It was excellent, and my wife with celiac was able to enjoy it without the fear of cross-contamination. They did an excellent job.

Evelynn King

We love fainting goat and have bought gf items here before, unfortunately our last trip here wasn’t so great. We are still unsure if we were given the wrong nonGF muffin, OR if our muffin had cross contamination, either way if you have celiac please be careful here!

Lisa Joy

We have been here multiple times traveling through. I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt, but multiple times we have waited absurd amounts of time. Placed an online order. Waited 35 mins PAST when it was told to be ready and left empty handed. Turned out the kitchen was out of gluten free bread and couldn’t make it. The lady up front tried to help and offered a free drink, but that’s not why I was there. So, they refunded and did apologize. I always appreciate an apology, but it was poor communication from the kitchen. (Again, we’ve been here multiple times and slow service is a repeat.)

Chris “Goliath” Cahill

Best little Breakfast spot in Mt.Juliet. lots of gluten free options as well, which is a huge plus for my wife.

Stephanie Kraft

We found this gem while traveling through. It was a long day in the car & I have celiac. Finding somewhere gluten free while away from home is always a little stressful. The food here exceeded my expectations (try the garlic mayo!). Hillary went above & beyond in customer service. We left feeling refreshed & ready for the last leg of our trip home. We'll definitely put this as a stop on our way through!

Emily Wheeler

Delicious gluten free crepes available. I got the one with chorizo and it was HUGE. I couldn’t finish the whole thing but it was wonderful. The latte was also very good—smooth, mellow. It’s a bit noisy inside, but there was nice outdoor seating as well. Would definitely return.

Serena Rohrer

Our food was outstanding and our server Kristy was sweet as pie. Will return on any trip to Nashville! Good Gluten free options. Canadian tourist approved!

Jim Rosa

They offer Gluten Free options

Chris H

Great food and my wife can have it, even though she has a gluten allergy. Was not aware of the spraying situation on American flour. Learned a lot, and had a great meal!

jmoss2543

Food is always good at First watch. Good gluten free options as well.

Paul Barto

Parthenia Fayne

My favorite breakfast spot for on the go! My first draw to East Park was for their cold brew smoothie. I appreciate having protein with my coffee! I also love their quiche and gluten-free cinnamon doughnut!

This restaurant was wonderful and I can't wait to go back. I would have given them all 5's but the gluten free bread could not hold up to the ingredients on the delicious sandwich. This is a common problem with gluten free bread. Also, it was, and usually is very small. Gluten free buns are usually better for sandwich making. It still tasted good, so don't let this stop you from visiting. Maybe toasting a bit more would have helped. Anyway, one side if the bread was very soggy. They also were unaware of the method of making the sourdough bread. Generally, if it is the 'slow' method, the gluten is reduced, and more tolerable for those with gluten sensativity. I also liked the potato salad. It was a large portion so we brought some home. The tomato soup was popular as well as the roast beef. We also had dessert, which is rare. The banana split was enjoyed by my party and I adored the gluten free "Let The Good Times Roll' milkshake with dairy free coconut ice cream. Our servers were very sweet too!

Cynthia Coletti

What's not to like. Quality coffee, teas, gluten-free items, games and art programs. Books to buy. Bring your friends and play a group game. A definite place worth a visit in the Tri-Cities if you enjoy games. There are certain games that are free. I spent so much money because I bought a T-shirt and a bunch of books

Due West Designer

Gluten Free lemon Blueberry Pancakes and the salted Carmel coffee. Typically I don't eat or drink this much sugar - but it was sooo worth every sip and bite. It's not a quiet atmosphere, waited about 35-40 min for a table which is pretty average for Nashville. Definitely will return.

Rose Fletcher

We recently ordered a speciality cake for my husband’s 60th birthday and WOW, It did NOT disappoint! It was amazing! The bakery added a custom edible logo on the top, which looked perfect. They were responsive to my emails and worked with me to get exactly what I wanted. The cake was gluten free and the taste was amazing! Even being gluten free, the cake was moist and delicious. Everyone raved about it and they had no idea it was GF. I couldn’t have been happier with the result. I will definitely use this bakery again in the future. 👍🏻

Alli Haskill

Delicious food, pleasant servers, and lots of gluten free options.

Tatum Klepp

The food and the service at Ladybird is unmatched! I’ve been coming here for three years and can always count on them to give me a consistent 10/10 experience. Staff is amazing and the food is incredible. Also, I’m always blown away by how great their coffee is. In the past three years I’ve been vegan, and then gluten/dairy free, and they have always had the best options for that as well!

Shannon Stires

If you’re in Nashville and need a place with fantastic gluten-free options, Two Hands Nashville should be at the top of your list! As someone with gluten sensitivity, finding a spot that offers not just safe but delicious gluten-free dishes can be a challenge—but Two Hands totally delivers. First of all, the menu is full of mouth-watering choices that cater to various dietary needs, and their gluten-free options are top-notch. I tried the gluten-free Korean fried chicken, and wow, it was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Honestly, you wouldn't even guess it was gluten-free! The seasoning was on point, and the texture was just as satisfying as any gluten-filled dish. Their gluten-free bowls and rice-based dishes are also great choices for anyone looking for a wholesome meal that’s both filling and full of flavor. The ingredients feel fresh, and everything is thoughtfully prepared with plenty of options for customization. What really sets Two Hands apart is how they ensure cross-contamination isn’t an issue, which is super important for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great care to make sure the dishes are made properly, which gives me a lot of confidence when dining here. The atmosphere is lively and friendly, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or even a solo visit. Whether you're gluten-free or just looking for a great meal, Two Hands Nashville is definitely worth checking out. Delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—what more could you ask for?

Ryan Turner

I was so stoked to see the menu had gluten-free crepe options! I bought the chai tea latte and a cinnamon roll crepe and both were amazing. Friendly staff and easy atmosphere!

Sara J Spalding

I wish All the just loves were like Spring Hill! Great service. Amazing gluten free items. And the whole atmosphere of the store is amazing.

Jammie Davis

Great food!!!! Love the food and the menu!! This place is a treat for a gluten free person!!! They have so many great options. I go every time I can!!

John Moore

Located in a strip center in Brentwood,they serve breakfast and lunch. Family owned and open till 230pm midweek. Check their website for weekend hours. We seated ourselves and the server was friendly. My wife had the gluten free sausage breakfast sandwich and I had the biscuit and bacon breakfast sandwich. Both were a good portion and made fresh. Expect to pay higher than normal prices due to their Brentwood location. Menu choices are limited but they do offer plenty of To Go Meals and the food is very good.

Donna K

Great crepes and staff is fully aware of gluten concerns.
