The have a gluten free Injera option. I think it is called “black” when served gluten-free. Based on the servers explanation, this seems to be the preferred method as it tears easier.
I have never had Ethiopian food. I was really really impressed with the flavors. This restaurant has set the bar high. I would definitely come again if I am in the area!
Renovated and vibrant, this spot features delicious dishes and a lively atmosphere, making it a popular choice despite the noise.

Extremely celiacs concious and attentive! There weren't any on menu soups that were gf vegetarian/pescatarian options, so the kitchen staff and manager David personalized a great soup I could eat. I think anyone with celiacs will feel very safe eating here, and especially reccomend for gluten free people that eat meat!
Charming vibe with outdoor seating, unique crepe options, and a fun owner make this a delightful spot to relax and enjoy.

We stopped in here during our visits in New haven.
This establishment boasts an appealing atmosphere with a charming ambience. The service is courteous, although the waitstaff, while kind, may be preoccupied. Consideration for a designated server could enhance attentiveness. The cappuccino is commendable. Among the crepes, the Norvegienne, featuring smoked salmon, lacks a harmonious flavor profile with the buckwheat base. However, the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe proves delightful. While I would revisit, I suggest avoiding the savory buckwheat crepes, as they may not align with personal preferences, though they may appeal to those seeking a gluten-free option. Be prepared to smell like a crepe when leaving. Bathroom is in a very weird location with scary movie vibes.
Tucked away in a quiet alley, this vibrant spot offers a fabulous atmosphere and a great variety of options for a fun night out.

Excellent menu with a wide selection of options including gluten free and vegan. The cocktails are awesome too, it's a great place to grab a quick drink, a quick bite, or to eat and chat for a long time

This review is for the street level fast food restaurant storefront specializing in chicken nuggets. The gluten friendly chicken nuggets were excellent--little chunks of real chicken (not processed) cooked to a juicy light golden brown. The french fries were good. The little bags that the chicken and fries came in was foil lined, so I imagine that would be great for keeping take out orders warm on a chilly night. The staff who took my order at the counter were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere rating is a 3 because the tables were dirty and the seating area needed tidying up.
Vibrant flavors and a lively atmosphere make for an enjoyable spot, though some feel the music could be toned down for easier conversation.

Food was wonderful! Great flavors, many gluten free options, service excellent- attentive and warm and friendly. Waiter Lucas was terrific! Would have liked music to be a little lower, a bit loud for conversation.
The people here are very good about knowing what's gluten friendly on their menu and what isn't. The only thing they will guarantee as gluten free is the burger without bun. However, I've eaten the shakes and fries many times and only gotten ill once, so you may do ok if you're only gluten intolerant rather than celiac.
*update* They now have a gluten free bun, but I wouldn't bother with it. It costs more and quickly disintegrates into mush due to how greasy the burger patties are.
Unique spices and great margaritas make this spot a must-visit, especially for summer fans enjoying table side guac and flavorful tacos.

Margarita pitchers (GOOD margaritas) and table side guac, never fails! The shrimp tacos are phenomenal. All chips and tacos are corn tortillas / gluten free!

All the crepes can be made gluten free since they use rice flour for the batter. Make certain to consult with an employee who knows which fillings are / are not gluten free since some are better informed than others.
Most recently I had the gluten free Matcha Azuki Bean crepe (i.e. without custard, nuts, or pocky sticks), which tasted amazing! The chocolate gelato is also heavenly!

There are a lot of gluten free and pepper free options if you build your own bowl. I love to swap out the base (lettuce or quinoa) for sweet potatoes and then load up on veggies and toppings, which is slightly more expensive but well worth it!
Fresh, delicious ingredients and a cozy vibe make this spot perfect for enjoying great company and tasty treats.

Just ate the gluten free The Stack which is grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, red tomato, spring salad mix and pesto-mayo dressing, and 5 stars all the way = delicious. Ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture! The only downside is that you need a fork to eat it as the bread crumbles… but for the taste and freshness of the ingredients = such a small price to pay for greatness.
Creative and delicious dishes served in a modern vibe make this spot perfect for special occasions and memorable experiences.

Excellent, inventive food and service that goes the extra mile with a pleasant modern ambience. Although the menu doesn’t specify, they offer a number of delicious gluten free choices— including desserts--and will make accommodations, such as providing gf crackers instead of bread. A lovely experience.

All the burgers can be made on a gluten free bun, which is very good quality. There is no dedicated gluten free frier, but I haven't had an issue eating the fries (I have gluten intolerance though, not celiac). There is also flourless chocolate cake!
My favorite meal here is The Smoker burger on a gluten free bun with fries and a pineapple express.
With an impressive variety of options, this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious and satisfying dishes that impress!

The servers are generally very helpful in negotiating food allergies. There are at least 1-2 gluten free options each for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. All the food I've tried here has been divine!
My favorite meal here is stuffed grape leaves to start, vegetable moussaka, and baked milk custard for dessert!
Unique allergen protocols ensure safety, but prepare for some attitude if you ask too many questions; giant scoops are a plus!

I went in without having looked them up before, and informed the server behind the counter about my celiac and if they had gluten free options. They did have gluten free options, almost all the icecream they were serving that day were gf, she said she could serve me safely. I wanted to know their cross-contact protocol and she got really rude/angry at me, almost yelling that she knew how to serve me as they have good allergen protocols and also serve people with severe nut allergy. So I kind of felt bullied into ordering without knowing what she was going to do, but decide to go for it as I could always give it away.
They do have a good allergen protocol. Switched gloves, grabbed a new clean scoop, new container with ice cream that had not yet been touched. Also scoops were hugeeeeeee. I felt assured it was safe for me to eat and I didn’t feel sick. Chocolate flavor was yummy. Just too bad that they got so rude while I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get sick.
Unique and delicious options for special occasions, offering top-notch choices that promise satisfaction without compromising on taste.

Pricy vegan and gluten free options, however worth the prices. Amazing choices to make any special occasion even more special for the vegan gluten free folks. Owner is very nice. Top notch. Oh, and you even get a good sized fresh salad with your dinners. Will be back. 🧡

Interesting little place in New Haven. Unique inside with a bank vault storing wine. Attentive servers and great menu. The four of us each enjoyed our different dishes of meat lovers pizza, gluten free pasta w shrimp, seared salmon and steak salad.
Drinks were also good and well made.
Biggest complaint is the noise level. The music speaker sounded blown with much humming and crackle for all bass noise and then as the place filled from 6:15-8 pm it became too noisy to hear people next to me.
We eventually left and sat outside to visit. Might dine here again but won’t go on a Friday or during peak dining.
Expect a delightful dining experience with an impressive wine selection and unique dishes worth returning for!

Simply amazing food and service! Everything I ordered - the endive salad, the duck (canard au chou), and the grand marnier souffle were prepared to perfection with high quality ingredients! In addition, when we initially told our server that I must eat gluten free, he did not bat an eyelash. Everything I ordered already happened to be GF already (and he knew this off hand), but they brought me gluten free toast when my husband was served baguette slices and told me which of my husband's dishes I could try. For those that have a food sensitivity, this consideration means everything for a most pleasant dining experience.
Also appreciated was that, after suggesting some wines we liked, our server guided us to a delicious wine within our budget that went very well with both our entrees.
My husband ordered the duck confit appetizer and the venison (chevreuil aux poivres), both delicious and perfectly prepared. He also loved the grand marnier souffle. It's so rare that everything we might both order in a restaurant would be so wonderful. We will definitely be back with our foodie friends!
Enjoy a super cool vibe with fresh, delicious vegan options and a great atmosphere for hanging out with friends or diving into a good book.

really welcoming owners, excellent food - café casual, but fresh and delicious! we enjoyed the gluten free banana muffin and the grilled cheese on gluten free bread — easily one of the best muffins and grilled cheeses I’ve had in my life. We were shocked as we just stumbled in on a cold morning…
Also enjoyed the avo toast with egg and a chai latte with almond milk - chai was great & not painfully sweet (personal preference); avocado toast was very good, no qualms - as expected.
Would definitely recommend, felt welcomed and happy when visiting.
The restaurant was comfortably elegant. The scenery was fun and entertaining. The food was amazing and the staff was excellent. We we're a large party and I was the only one who required gluten free. They we're well versed and accommodated this so easily. I was impressed by their knowledge. All I asked was if they had gluten free. They took care of the rest. It was amazing. I can't wait to go there again.

Came in solo because I was having a difficult personal time today. I sat at the bar and had lovely service and interactions with the staff. The gluten free bolognese was delightful. My drinks were incredible. And the bartender, whose name happens to also be Sarah, was especially kind to me tonight, which I truly needed. Thank you.
Had a recent lunch buffet here. Staff, owner, music and food was so charming and memorable. Food was good but some of the meats a touch on the dry side. Would definitely go back. Solid vegetarian and gluten free options here as well.
Pricey but far better than fast food. They have a few options that are egg free, dairy free, and even gluten free though they can't guarantee it's safe for those with Celiac's disease.
Ordered smoothies for the office crew today. The variety of smoothies, sandwiches and wraps pleased everyone's tastes. The Island Green was the smoothie favorite while the Chipotle Chicken Club and Caribbean Jerk Chicken were amazing. For those with Gluten allergies they were very accommodating with a grilled chicken bowl with a tangy sauce that was delicious. I recommend Tropical Smoothie Café for a quick great tasting healthy lunch for those on the go.
Great service and solid selection. I look for gluten free items, and they have floorless chocolate cookies, a fantastic granola bar and sandwich bread which I have yet to try.
Offering a cozy vibe with late hours, this spot excels in tantalizing sweets, excellent brews, and a perfect atmosphere for students and creatives.

Donut Crazy specializes in donuts, but also features great coffee and tea selections. There are additional breakfast options with eggs and pastries as well. They are open later than nearby coffee shops in the summer. Seating is student and writer friendly. The manager is terrific and leads staff to pay attention to details about service that others might miss.
Gluten free rice krispie treats are available for those needing an option.
