The actually gluten free options are limited and my food has consistently come out lukewarm every time I’ve eaten here. Waffles and pancakes are cooked on shared equipment/surfaces. They do claim to have a gluten free fryer for the potatoes and toaster for bread. I’ve eaten the potatoes with no reaction but haven’t chanced the bread as it’s common to get moody servers when it’s busy who don’t want to be helpful.

Every bite and sip was superb along with the service and ambience. We ordered everything gluten free and will be sure to return in the future. Wonderful date night!

Great restaurant for a casual but upscale meal. Plan to get 2-3 plates per person. As a party of 2 with a drink each, an appetizer, 4 plates and a dessert, we spent around $150. Most of their dishes can be prepared gluten free and the staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating for diners with celiac.

I brought a party to the Harbour House for two special occasions because it’s on the water one of the few restaurants in Milwaukee. Being a vegan and gluten-free, I knew it was not the best choice for me, but for such an occasion to only be able to have a salad and potatoes was disappointing to say the least. I realize it’s mainly a seafood restaurant but options outside of that were so limited That it was almost laughable. The food that everyone else had was very good. One of our servers was so incredibly friendly, and the other was annoyed that I asked for alternative milk and also that I had to order just sides. I will not be going back ever, but but it is not to say it is not a good experience for people who eat animals.

Not only was this cake beautiful and delicious but I felt amazing after I ate it (and I ate a lot)! It wasn’t just those of us with sensitivities that loved it, but also the gluten and dairy lovers in the family. I highly recommend BLB for any special events. They worked with us to create this beauty, and it went perfect with the vibe of our wedding. Thank you for being such a dream - not just on my wedding day but anytime I need to treat myself. Literally going there now…

This was our first time eating at Pizza Man! We're trying to eat mostly gluten free. They have that option as a crust. But we opted for their regular thin crust, it was amazing. Not bready at all. Delicious salad and the three of us shared a 14" Special Pizza. Absolutely fantastic!

I got an avocado and egg sandwich with gluten-free bread. It was so good and the fresh fruit on the side was really good too. It wasn't loud in the cafe and the overall atmosphere was really relaxing. I really loved going here!

Jeanette

Awesome place. Clean, friendly, pretty, good beer, lots of gluten free options!

If you have dietary restrictions related to gluten, don’t go here. Even after a double check request confirming an entree was gluten free and prepared to eliminate cross contamination, it was served with a tortilla, that wasn’t gluten free. Server stated they get it right 9 out of 10 times, stated after serving the meal. 90% is not good for those who are effected by gluten. Manager came over and confirmed it absolutely was not gluten free. And stated they would Cover medical expenses. Just saying that should send up flares. So, no controls here, training is an issue, BS statements and so on.

The employees were so sweet and helpful. EVERYTHING is gluten free. Arepas and empanadas with some fun and also classic fillings. I dove into mine so far I didn’t get a picture. It was so delicious. A must go to when in Milwaukee.

We love the new location of MOR Bakehouse MKE! It’s in a prime location with easy access from anywhere in the city. We live locally and are thrilled to have them in our community offering dedicated gluten free items. We had the brownie and it was gourmet! Will be taking all of our friends and family here. The owner is so sweet and kind. She truly cares about people and it’s lovely to see her passion for the business! Thank you for being an active part of our neighborhood.

Gluten free pasta + other options on the menu! So good

Peter Angelos

Nice, well established Mexican restaurant. The highlight of their many menu choices are their flavorful and authentic sauces. Also a great choice for gluten-free and Celiac choices. They have a gf menu, gf tortilla chips and I have not reacted to cross-contact there.

Went last night and this place was amazing! The bruschetta with gluten free bread was so fresh and delicious. The Frellini spritzer was super tasty and the other spritzes were pretty tasty too. The Chicken Piccata, Chicken Parm, and Vodka Gnocchi dishes were all phenomenal! Then for dessert the Flourless Chocolate Cake, Salted Caramel Gelato, and Tiramisu were all soooo good.

Charley Paul

Ordered food for delivery and was met with notes on the food about what was and wasn’t celiac friendly. As someone who has a severe reaction, and quite frankly dreads eating at restaurants, I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I am about these gluten free notes. Cubanitas has definitely earned themselves a lifelong celiac fan! That guac, amazing. The chicken bowl, absolutely delicious. Again, if you have celiac the measures taken can soothe your worries. Do it.

Nick Benhart

Scrumptious and mostly gluten free! Can’t ask for more, except that they dive their truck to my home town so I can enjoy it more often!

Cute place that wasn't super busy on a Sunday brunch, but still with constant stream of people coming in and out. First impressions is that the staff looked pretty gloomy overall. No one smiled or greeted us, but were pretty much matter of factly standing there, and overall not happy looking about having a big group (of 12) to set up for outside (we asked for outside, since the weather was so nice). The outside set up was ok. The tables were smallish and lightweight, and the umbrellas were bumping on each other so we couldn't keep them up without them touching each other and somehow making the table lopsided when we tried. Not a big deal, and we just ended up folding up all the umbrellas and pulling out sunglasses. Our server came and took our orders, and was quick and efficient about it, but again, no smiles or welcoming, but rather brusque and a tad annoyed like. So up to here, not too pleased, and a little miffed because I felt like we weren't really welcome. But after our server took our orders, things turned positive. Our server totally changed pace and came back often to look in on us and keep our coffee mugs filled, and to make sure we had everything. She also was right on it when we requested things like ketchup, and even though we were outside, she made sure to bring everything out very timely. I guess it just takes a while for things to warm up. Overall, I thought she did a wonderful job despite my first impressions. The food - was good. Steak Breakfast Bowl Hany and I shared cuz we had actually already had breakfast (long story). I asked for the potatoes on the side (keto), and they brought both potatoes and eggs on the side, plus an extra plate (thoughtful!!). The mix was very tasty. Hany said the potatoes were meh, and I agreed, but I think it was because it was put on the side rather than mixed in with the rest of the dish. Totally on me. I would absolutely get this dish again. And our friends shared their thoughts: Shakshuka A friend did this dish because she has egg allergies. She said it was good, but a little less spiced than she has had before, but would order again. BTW, eggs over easy were right on the money Canela Supreme Pancakes (GF) Looked delicious and tasted delicious. He said the peanut butter, honey, cinnamon sauce was scrumptious. Pancakes Personally, I thought the 4 layers of this regular pancakes simply dusted with powdered sugar looked better than the supreme version, but it could be because they were more fluffy, not being gluten free. It was apparently just as tasty, too, cuz friend ate half of it, after finishing his bowl of steak bowl! Steak & Eggs It was cooked well, but friend actually liked it more medium-rare. The server forgot to ask how he likes his steak. (Like I said, she didn't turn out to be stellar until after the orders were in for some reason) Blueberry waffle The single waffle was missing the powdered sugar and looked pretty underwhelming compared to the delicious looking pancakes, especially with the fresh blueberries forming a single layer, and kind of disappearing into the waffle holes. Definitely not camera friendly and not something I would get again for $15. Omelet Forgot to ask what kind of omelet she got, but friend's omelet looked great, fluffy and filled. The side of fruits also looked very fresh. Smoothie Friend says it had the taste! But it was watery, more like juice than a smoothie. Bummer. Overall, I'm giving the place 4 stars without considering the initial impressions because I feel that how I leave a place is important and I definitely left feeling well taken care of and like I would return. But next time, I will sit inside despite the gorgeous weather cuz I like a solid table and chairs. And I would get the steak bowl again. But I would definitely skip the waffle.
