Erica Marinaro

Definitely a dive bar. Menu was clearly labeled GF. The French fries were great!

JA Shaw

Love this place. Highly recommend a reservation. We couldn't get a reservation but got take-out & ate at their picnic tables! Saw many people go in and immediately leave because Sinful Kitchen was full up! Their are allergy aware & have many gluten-free & vegetarian options. Our group had the Monte Cristo, a fav, 2 different kinds of eggs Benedict- classic & crab, strawberry waffles, & corned beef hashvw eggs. I also love the BBQ jackfruit. We are not nearby but try to go at least 2x a yr.

Gluten-free HEAVEN. Make sure you stop here. You will be so happy you did.

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing spot! The GF IPA was so good we went to buy some at the liquor store after dinner! My husband and I had the burger and pizza and would never guess they were both GF!

Scott Bryant

Gluten Free Beer, Gluten Free Everything. Cannot recommend enough.

Jacqueline Loiseau

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

Kimberly Padgett

The. Best. donuts! If you’re also gluten free- Those were the best I’ve ever had!

Domonique

Great service. They have gluten- free lobster rolls! The lobster was okay.

My review is about their gluten free options. Cannot comment on their gluten filled options. To sum it up, I am a late in life celiac sufferer. Went over 35 years enjoying gluten and all the wonders of eating it. Then suddenly, my body decides to flip the switch, and I cannot process gluten. I am asymptomatic, in that my body kind of shuts down if I ingest even the tiniest microscopic amount of gluten. That being said, I usually don’t even bother with fancy doughnut places like this because they usually don’t offer gluten free options. But I was on a day trip to Portland with the family, and my wife is always on the lookout for gluten free things for me, and this place is highly regarded. Plus, when we got to Portland, there was a huge long line around the corner. Kind of peaked my interest, especially considering I am also allergic to seafood, so I cannot even enjoy the other thing people enjoy in Portland, lobster. So family enjoys their lobster lunch, and before we leave the area to move on to our next point of interest, I get in line to grab a few doughnuts. I mask up, given that it is a doughnut shop, and given I can be have a reaction from just even a speck of flour in the air, better to be safe than sorry. Line has shortened by this point, so the wait is not too bad, only a few minutes. I get up, order my doughnuts. A chocolate sea salt, a cinnamon sugar, a lemon, and a cherry. All gluten free. We get into our car and drive away. Big caveat here I need to mention, given my allergy, we never have anything wheat based in the car to eat, due to my allergy. All snacking in the car is gluten free, to make sure I do not have any reactions while I am driving. When my family eats anything with gluten, they wash and sanitize their hands thoroughly afterwards, and if they get any on their clothing, they change. Yes, my reactions are that severe. So I eat the first doughnut, no problem. We get to our next destination. Take photos so the tourist thing, blah blah. Get in the car, drive to next destination. I eat the second doughnut. Drive to next destination. Take photos, do the tourist thing, blah blah. You get the idea. Around 4pm I eat the 3rd doughnut, the lemon gluten free. I am driving, on the highway, suddenly, I start to get that contaminated feeling. My stomach starts churning, I start getting horrible heartburn, can’t stop having gas being expelled from both ends, and my body starts to ache all over. I have to pull over to the side of the road, since there is no exit close or amenity area close by, and I have to expel everything from my stomach as fast as possible, in the hopes that I can avoid a full on gluten contamination sickness. Thankfully I did avoid most of it, I am just suffering from body aches and mild brain fog right now. Needless to say, contaminated gluten free food is why I am giving 1 star for the food. I would give negative stars if possible, because making customers sick is, well, never a good thing. However, service was great, employees were friendly, and everything else was fine.

This was hands down, the BEST fish and chips I have EVER had (even better than London). Highly recommend!

Meredith Reed

Great options if you are gluten free!

Chris Moulton

Service here was amazing! This gluten free bakery has got to be one of the BEST things I have ever had before! The service here is very good and I must say they are really nice employees. I hope to come back to this place over the weekends and even tho it's expensive all it matters is that it's the best in town! Also, thank you for everything you guys do for the brunswick area teen center! I go to the teen center alot and I have some of the granola deserts and I LOVE them alot. I liked the two boston cream donuts and the smores bar I had this morning. Again thank you guys for everything and I can see this business being the best ones in town!

Brad Petersen

Really really great pizza! We tried two gluten free pizzas, the pepperoni hot honey and the chicken bacon ranch. The crust is really good but the highlight was the chicken bacon ranch. Best I've had ever. The location offers beautiful views and the atmosphere was great.

Brien

They are incredible bakers. They have never let us down; they're magical in creating delicious gluten free foods.

Jessi Parker

Delicious lemon donut!!!

Mike Halcom

If we’re ever this way again will stop. Great gluten free menu. And TASTY. 😋

Darlene Mccarthy

Great place! Excellent service! Daniel was great and the gluten free options amazing!!!

James Callaghan

Amazing that I haven't posted on Google yet. The Lucky Pigeon is one of my favorite places to spend time on this earth. Not an exaggeration in the least. We don't live close and I always lament that I cannot get there more often. But, it is always wonderful when we do. The owners might be the nicest people on this planet. The beer is phenomenal. The brewer Scott is a genius. I have celiac disease and went a decade without drinking draft beer. I was incredibly emotional the first time I was there. To be able to have anything on the tap list and order a flight was something I never thought I'd ever be able to do again. I still get this anxious and excited feeling every time we enter the tasting room! The best thing: The beer tastes just like really good traditionally brewed beer. I'm told by others who don't have gluten issues that they feel better after drinking it. What a remarkable product! I look forward to my next visit the minute I get home from my last! Check this place out, all! Cans are available in Massachusetts and Vermont, also!

CC McGinn

I literally ordered 2 stacks of the blueberry gluten free pancakes and neither survived. And these were not skimpy stacks. They were the perfect treat to have on my birthday. Delicious coffee and so many other yummy pastries and gluten free options! I would go here every morning if I lived in Maine! Absolutely incredible!

Courtney Kelm

Food is excellent! Orange Bike gluten free beer is crisp and refreshing. Gabriela’s smile is refreshing and welcoming. She was kind and offered different beer selections. Very accommodating!

David Stock

One of the few seafood places that you can take your gluten intolerant friends! Very good seafood!

Megan Stowe

It made me so happy to have gluten free fried shrimp and french fries. My husband said his clams were great and the non gf blueberry cornbread was delicious.

Heidi Raphaela-Alamosa

I have been going here since moving to Maine in 2020....not because I am medically gluten free....just because it is great stuff! I try to stop in just for a muffin but usually come away with a lot more! Lots of creative variety, side by side with the old standby--delicious blueberry muffin, in case you're not in the mood for the fun rotating unique flavors. I am not telling my favorites because I want some to be left when I get there! LOL Nice staff, very talented baker who must work very hard!

Scott Bryant

Unbelievable GF lobster rolls and other seafood options. They take serious care w/ Allergies

Ray Bernoff

As someone with celiac, I felt very taken care of at The Bakeshop! I was excited to see gf focaccia -- a rare treat -- and the cashier Corbin went out of his way to check which of the gf baked goods were oat-free for me. The portions are huge, which is also uncommon for gluten free food. If I lived nearby, I would go here all the time!

Peter L'Esperance

Excellent gluten free seafood

Vanessa Weeks

Great service and great food! Wonderful gluten free options for Italian food.

Daniel Cox

Incredible food and atmosphere. Broad gluten free options, and incredible service by Cassidy B. Thank you!

Halle Bloom

Delightful experience! I stopped here last year when traveling and made Sticky Sweet my first stop back in Portland this summer. Every flavor is delicious and owners are lovely. 100% Gluten Free.

Robert Cohen, Real Estate

Wild Willy’s Burgers in York, Maine is a must try whenever you are up in this area. The menu is wonderful comfort food and incredibly fresh. With gluten free options, this restaurant is much more inviting than many other places. From March until early November, this is definitely one of our favorite restaurants every time we come up to York, Maine. Enjoy, Robert.

WilliamN Peach

This is our "go to" Chinese restaurant. Excellent food. Plenty of yummy gluten free options. Great service. Very easy to order. Zen's has been providing us with an exceptional experience since we came to Portland about 5 years ago.

Joseph LaChance

Dedicated Gluten Free Fryer/Kitchens space. Love the Sea Basket!!!

Laura Bea Lamb

I'm almost tempted to move to Maine so I can visit this amazing GF cafe more often! What a treasure! The cinnamon roll was incredible. The sausage roll... Amazing. I bought a whole loaf of GF sourdough bread for $13! My husband bought a couple more goodies for later. Oh, also, the Vietnamese coffee was perfection. The prices were incredibly good for such amazing gluten free goodies. DEFINITELY VISIT!!

Levi Ward

The owners are great, not many places around that you find gluten-free food, especially that’s any good. Food is priced within reason for the amount of food you get.

Ion Balaurea

Large Selection. Super Fast and Friendly service. Gluten Free Option Had the Lobster Roll and Shrimp Roll Both were delicious. Large portions One is enough for two usually. Depending on what you buy,

Laurie Theriault

GLUTEN-FREE!!! YAAAAY!! I had a sausage and onion gluten-free pizza that was delicious and French fries that were sooo good! So nice to find a place that has gluten-free that tastes good!!!

Lisa R

The best lobster roll my husband has had yet on our trip up the north east. The scallops were absolutely amazing. The quinoa burger, and sweet potato fries were outstanding. We also got the gluten-free dairy free, egg free whoopee, which was delicious. I would highly recommend this place. Just be prepared to wait in line because it's that popular.

Brianna Clifford

Went to a wedding rehearsal dinner here and it couldn't have been better. The chef and owners are personable and did everything in their power to cater to the allergies of our party. Highly recommend for gluten free, the food is phenomenal and carefully crafted. Thanks so much, we look forward to visiting for a meal when we are back in Wells this summer!

Eliana Cohen

Had a fantastic dinner here with friends. They got the dumpling flight, lobster rangoon, and the bao buns. All were amazing and they loved trying all of the different dumplings—a really nice sharing option and super fun date idea. I got the mango salad and curry. Also all fabulous. I am veg and celiac and they were super accommodating and thoughtful about gluten free and cross contamination. The server Michaela was really helpful and warm!! Would for sure go back!!

Marz Kay

Love this place.

Hanna Lanoie

Since I went gluten and dairy free in 2018 I’ve had to give up our family tradition of donuts and cinnamon roles on Christmas morning, until THIS year! I first heard of Nono’s on a gluten free social media page I follow on Instagram, but never had the chance to head over and try this place for myself. A few days before Christmas this year, I remembered Nonos and placed an order of cinnamon roles and donuts. We picked them up Christmas Eve morning with heating instructions for Christmas Day. These pastries were SUCH a treat after going the last few Christmas without something safe to enjoy. The owner was so responsive, kind and informative, especially for placing an order only two days before Christmas. The cinnamon roles were moist and flavorful but not too sweet, even my gluten and dairy loving boyfriend enjoyed them. We can’t wait to come back and try more! 10/10 recommend giving this place a try!!

Michelle Cekala

This is a wonderful food truck that offered all the tastes of the big e that was safe for my family with celiac. The food was so good and my husband who does not eaten gluten free said it was better then anything he ate all day.

Rick Freeman

Perhaps the best pizza I have ever had. Definitely the best gluten free one. The staff were friendly and helpful.

THIS RESTAURANT MAKES ME WANT TO GO BACK AND TAKE A STAR AWAY FROM EVERY 5 STAR REVIEW I'VE EVER GIVEN, because this is in a class of its own!! Not only did the owner come greet us and take our order, he talked with us about the safety precautions they have taken, to ensure a safe environment. While Manny restaurants take steps towards safety, this place GOES ALL OUT. They have separate dishes, a separate area for prep, and separate cooking operations for celiacs. They also have celiac safe options that I've ever seen in any restaurant before! I ordered the Maine Street Corn (gf pasta dish) and I was blown away. I don't even like corn, to be honest with you. But the description hooked me, and the dish delivered!! I ordered the Social Burger to go, so I could try it later. I ended up eating it the next morning because I was still full from that incredible pasta! After reheating the burger, it was STILL THE BEST BURGER I'VE EVER HAD. I've said this before, and it's slightly possible I'll say it again in the future, but I can't imagine any burger being a bigger bullseye than this one. The patties are cooked perfectly, and the meat is so juicy!!! Then he goes and adds all the right toppings, and their house made sauce. All the sauces are made in house, and I could tell as soon as I bit into the chicken wings. Not to go unmentioned, is the fact that they are VERY SELECTIVE about their meat sources. It all comes through, in the quality of the food. The atmosphere is so friendly and fun, and I would recommend any family visit, for any occasion. I felt very safe eating there, and enjoyed the whole visit. I'll definitely be going back.

Anthony Gauvin

My favorite coffee shop...the best coffee roasted by the owner so it's ridiculously fresh. Great atmosphere and great eats ...everything is gluten free!

Stephane Vaudreuil

It's not a 5-star restaurant but an excellent paterie! Generous and gluten-free portion for the fries. Poutine with gravy type sauce is very good for an American poutine. Not the cheapest around but probably the best. This is a must stop during your visit.

Shanali Avery

Delicious with many options for donuts with or without gluten. Vegan donuts were limited to 1 type but that might have just been the day I went in.

Monica

Best meat joint in town. Very gluten aware and celiac friendly.
