I visited Silk City Coffee in Manchester, CT, on a very rainy day, and stepping inside felt like a warm embrace. The space is inviting, with plenty of seating for those working remotely, as well as cozy couches in the back—perfect for meeting up with a friend, reading a book, or simply enjoying a slow morning. There’s a real sense of community here, and it shows.
As for the treats:
Gluten-Free Vegan Blackberry Lime Donut – I don’t know how they made this gluten-free and vegan and still so delicious, but they did! Tart, sweet, and perfectly soft.
Orange Ricotta Cake – Soft and moist with a lovely orange flavor. The frosting on top was the perfect complement.
Funfetti Cookie – Soft, chewy, and just the right amount of sweetness. A fun, nostalgic treat.
Regular Latte – Beautiful latte art and a bold coffee flavor.
Bouquet Latte – Topped with delicate flowers, this latte was not only beautiful but also had a wonderful floral flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. If you like flavored coffee, this is a must-try!
Silk City Coffee is a true gem, whether you're looking for a place to work, catch up with a friend, or simply savor a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend!

My first time eating here. Overall a great experience. Burger was awesome! They have a separate gluten free menu, so you don't have to wonder what you can have. The kitchen is not GF, so even though they say they take precautions, there's likely cross contamination. The GF bun for my burger was actually really good. They have a pretty good selection of drinks, I had an espresso martini, it was a little pricy, but it was a nice date night out with the hubby.
A cool spot where the staff takes extra care to accommodate allergies, ensuring a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all.

I heard that they are celiac-friendly and wanted a quick bite on the go. This was the first time I'd gone since my diagnosis, so I went in because I was nervous about making sure it was safe for me to have it. The person who took my order had limited knowledge, but luckily it was not very busy, and the manager took the opportunity to explain to both of us the process. Not only they have a few gf items marked on the menu, but if you tell them you have an allergy, they make sure to alert the staff, so they clean the area, utensils and change gloves before preparing the meal. They have a separate fryer for the fries, too! The grilled chicken sandwich was appetizing and gluten-free.
A convenient spot for finding specialized diet items with upgraded self-checkout and helpful staff, making shopping a breeze.

It was Very helpful to have a gluten free separate section.
It would be helpful to have a no sugar added type section too if that's feasible, since that's what I was looking for but found with some difficulty.
I was pleased to find almost every item on my list for my Mom's restrictive diet & mine. I couldn't find marble rye bread.
The nice male employee I asked, knew where 2 out of the 3 items I was searching for.
The self check out was easier to use since the last time I used it.
I usually use the cashier line but the Self checkout looked updated & there were two attentive employees ready to help if I needed it.
Overall I was pleased with my evening shopping trip.

My first time in. I'm Gluten Free and I tried the chicken parm - the GF pasta was good as was the sauce but the grilled chicken seasoning wasn't my kinda flav. It was good overall though.
I can't have gluten dairy tree nuts it's hard to find good places to eat with so many food allergy it's great when when you can find a gluten free place and feel part of the family .
Great gluten free, dairy free burgers/rolls and topping choices. We love, love, love your SEPARATE fryer for gluten free steak fries and sweet potato fries!! Very enjoyable meal, thank you Red Robin!

I recently hired a Long Island Chef at Home for a special dining event in East Hampton, and I can't express enough how extraordinary the experience was.
Overall the entire experience was very professional and the attention to detail end-to-end was very much appreciated. Chef Stuart took the time to understand our preferences and created a menu that surpassed all expectations. Each dish was so delicious and also, presented beautifully. The attention to detail in table settings and decor created an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable night.
What impressed me even more was the chef's ability to cater to various dietary needs seamlessly, and sourcing local, organic ingredients. They accommodated our vegetarian and gluten-free guests with ease.
The service was top-notch - attentive, courteous, and overall, went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Chef Stuart's warm personality added an extra touch of enjoyment to the event. I highly recommend Long Island Chef at Home for any special occasion.
Thank you to the chef for making our event an unforgettable success. We can't wait to indulge in their culinary expertise again.

Such a great downtown staple! We have tried quite a few things on the menu and haven’t encountered one that isn’t good. I am so impressed that they offer gluten free raviolis, I haven't found these anywhere else. The birthday number pizzas (and the heart shape, which I like to get just for fun sometimes😂) are a big hit with our kids. Definitely recommend.
A perfect date night spot where delicious eats have you savoring every moment; great vibes and fast-paced enjoyment await!

Had a great date night with my wife. She got the gluten free pizza and ate the entire thing in 5 minutes. I had to remind her multiple times to slow down while eating. The wings and salad tasted good! Our waitress did a great job. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Good service. Good food. Decent prices compared to other establishments in the area. We had pork burritos, enchiladas tacos and a bowl. Plenty of food and tasty. Fast service. Clean place. I would recommend getting food from this restaurant. Plenty of parking. Also the enchiladas were gluten free. You choose all your toppings similar to chipotle but tastier.
Minimalistic vibes with a casual atmosphere, perfect for enjoying your meal in a unique foil tray setup, though sound echoes can be a downside.

Great lunch alone waitress asked if i wanted breakfast or lunch menus, then offered both. Got Steaming cup of tea and a second cup. Had the tomato cheddar bisque and the ham and cheese. Waitress added tomato and gluten free bread I requested. Wonderful lunch not to slow or fast and filling.
Exciting new offerings are on the horizon with a highly praised crust that's both chewy and flaky, making it a must-try for enthusiasts.

Wow!! When I heard the news MSP would be offering Gluten-Free crust in 2024, I couldn’t wait to try it. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Chewy, flaky, and deliciousness was served! I’ve been GF for 20 years, this is one of the best gluten-free options out there. Thank you thank you! Excited to try all the pizzas now!

Got catering from Frontera Grill for a party at our house. Nacho-taco bar. The manager personally handled and delivered the catering order. They were great about making items gluten free and vegan for us. Delivery was on time and they brought it right inside. It was a lot of food! We sent everyone home with food and still had lots of leftovers. The carnitas, spanish rice, charro beans, and roasted vegetables were all delicious. Thanks Leo and to the chefs!
Enjoy quick service, a clean environment, and a variety of options that cater to different preferences, perfect for a busy lunch break.

My gf has some food allergies, including dairy and gluten. We placed a pickup order and ended up getting there early. I waited inside and watched them make hers. Normally if we were in line, they would wipe down the equipment and counter. Standing from the side, I watched them blatantly make the sandwich, ignoring all instances of cross contamination. The brat at the counter had the nerve to lie to me and tell me they wiped it down, literally smirking as he said it. To make matters worse, it's been months and I'm yet to hear back from the manager on a return. Did some research and found that intentionally ignoring allergies is a form of assault. If I had known I wouldve had her consider filing charges.

I grew up in CT and believe there's something to be said about Connecticut grinders (besides the fact that most states don't use the term "grinder". For my birthday this September, I really wanted a cooked salami grinder from CT. My parents, who live about 2 hours away from me in CT, said "if you want a grinder, we gotta go to CJs".
I called CJ's and Nick answered the phone. I explained I live about 2 hours away and asked if there was any way they could prepare a grinder so it'd still be fresh. He replied, "no problem, we do this all the time". They gave me a perfectly packaged deconstructed grinder and explained how to assemble it and heat it up. I also had asked if they had any gluten free options for my wife. He said they did not, but allowed my parents to bring in a gluten free roll. He didn't think it would travel well on the roll, so he cut the roll and provided all the fillings to create it (just like the other one).
The grinders were fantastic! They were beyond expectations. My wife loved hers as well. Thank you Nick and the team at CJ's!
The attached pictures is after we heated it up.
Food is very good and wait staff very polite and attentive. A medium pho is large enough for "leftovers", ie. tomorrow's lunch, so price is reasonable. Many gluten free items on the menu! One of my favorite go-to places.
If you have a gluten allergy or celiac, beware. We went to an event here, and they had pizza. The gluten free pizzas were mislabeled and the person with the allergy ate regular pizza and got very sick. Beware if you have a food allergy and go here.
It's a great breakfast place. The virtually unlimited choice of omelets is awesome, I wish I could try them all. I haven't tried their breakfast sandwiches yet but I'm jealous every time I see those beauties. The waiting staff is helpful and friendly. They easily accommodated my friend with gluten free needs
Love Steve’s! Bagels are fantastic. Egg Everything and Spinach are my faves. Miss them having actual home made gluten free bagels - We can get gross Udi’s bagels at the grocery store for half the price. Would love if they offered delivery through a vendor that lets you change toppings or bread choice on sandwiches or salads or leave a note to request a substitute or specify an allergy... I’d love a corned beef sandwich on an everything bagel. Can’t order it delivered.

It's been a few years since I've been here but it's still just as amazing. The food is fantastic, the blueberry buckle oatmeal is a truly special treat, the coffee is endless, and I was happily surprised to learn they have pretty good gluten free toast! It was perfect with the Irish benedict. The hashbrowns are also fire, which is a true measure of any good breakfast place.
GLUTEN FREE PIZZA made in house. Very good. They use actual chunks of bacon on pizza.
And multiple ciders to get if gluten free.

We have been to The Hollow numerous times and each visit exceeded expectations! Regardless of dining at The Hollow or take out the food is exceptional. Pair the food with amazing service from team members like Adam and Cecilia, you can't go wrong. Also gluten free options are abundant, even dessert! Don't hesitate and enjoy this local treasure!
I have come here more and more over the past six months and have to say that it has improved ten fold since I've started coming. It's grown in all the good ways and their staff is phenomenal. I've always had a good experience here. It's a cozy atmosphere with friendly, knowledgeable staff that are so good with kids. My child filled out a form to "order" her own glazes and they worked with her to figure out what she wanted in such a respectful way. They came up to her on her level and talked through what she wanted her project to look like.
The cafe has such good food options and now has gluten free options!! 🙌🙌
They have great classes with a nice atmosphere to relax and enjoy with friends.
We come here frequently now whenever we want to relax and unwind and are feeling crafty. Love this place.

My husband and I were so pleased with our fresh and perfectly made sandwiches. I am gluten and dairy sensitive and they were so careful and made sure to ask me questions during every step of the process. I love their gluten free roll - soft, but not crumbly. I had the tuna and my husband had the pulled BBQ pork. I loved the tuna with the fresh veggies. My husband said the pork was so good. The staff was super friendly and their attention to detail made the experience easy and enjoyable. The atmosphere was clean and organized. I have a feeling I'll be craving Hot Table again soon, and look forward to going back!
