Their happy hour deal is great. The nacho fries were delicious. Everything was so good we came back for brunch the next day and got the gluten free waffles (they were a bit too sweet, but good nonetheless, wish there was almond butter on it to balance out the strawberry jam? syrup?). Always great to have a gluten free and dairy free place.

Needed a wedding cake for a small group that was vegan & gluten free. It being nut free was an added bonus as we did have a friend with said allergy that I was just going to buy regular cupcakes for. We got the small brownie cake with coffee frosting. It’s a very rich cake and we had plenty of leftovers. It was so cute and the perfect size for our small group.

Best gastropub/high-end comfort food/small plates for celiac folks! The churros and mac & cheese are a MUST HAVE!

The gluten free and butter free chocolate chip cookie was phenomenal. Hard to find good GF bakery options but this one was great!

Christine Benedetti-Middleton

Best gluten free, dairy free desserts ever. Lots of options here and everything we tried was delicious!!

Jan Squire

Outstanding GF menu!

Sam Richardson

Great experience. Best tomato soup I’ve ever had. Turkey burger is delicious, and I’m not normally a turkey burger fan. Pearson provided great service. Many healthy options on the menu - gluten free, vegan/vegetarian. Pizzas are tasty and salads are creative. Recommend.

Joseph Rondou

What a hidden gem. Tucked inside a pharmacy, it’s easy to miss but absolutely worth the hunt. Everything is completely vegan and gluten free, and you would never even guess. I can't begin to describe how delicious everything is here. The hibiscus donut, the churro donut, the brownie, the cream filled donut hut—every single item is incredible. This is a woman owned small business and truly something special. The prices are more than fair. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll want to keep going back.

Amazing breakfast sandwich, I couldn't believe it was gluten free! As a person with celiac disease, I was stoked to find this place. It's awesome, I highly recommend and look forward to coming back

Hanna Hondzo

My favorite place for safe gf ice cream! I always get their gf v cone too. Their cookies are also amazing, they do have dairy in them though.

Amy Tung

Good service and delicious Japanese food

Marci Anderson

OMG! DELICIOUS!! We ordered different things so we could taste it all! Cornbread…are you kidding me? Shrimp and grits…so deliciously creamy. Oxtail tacos…flavor burst! Fried green tomatoes…so good! Mac and cheese…so cheesy! Here’s the kicker…it’s GLUTEN FREE!! Are you kidding me?! We will be back very soon!! The staff and owner are so kind and gracious! So sweet and attentive! Oh wait….gotta go…my gluten free peach cobbler is coming!! Trust me….eat here!!!

Edward Lucarini

Excellent gluten free options.

Annelise Holyoak

Incredible- I can’t love this place more. The first chicken and biscuits are a must. All celiac safe

Such a wide range of flavors from vegan options, to so many different versions of chocolate and classics this is a for sure recommend! They have a virgin mojito and passion fruit flavour that are both vegan and so delicious on a hot day. I love that this place is also all gluten free so no need to worry about cross contamination.

Flavor, Flair & Fantastic Service Chulita is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is vibrant and welcoming, matched perfectly by the attentive and friendly staff. The service is consistently top-notch – warm, prompt, and genuinely thoughtful, making every visit a pleasure. The food? Absolutely delicious. What really stands out is their commitment to inclusive dining, with a variety of gluten-free and vegan options that don't compromise on flavor or creativity. Whether you’re a dedicated plant-based eater or just looking to explore, you’ll find something fresh and satisfying here. And let’s talk about cocktails – the Spicy Pepino nyaaaam is a must-try! It’s crisp, cool, and packs just the right amount of heat. Perfectly balanced and dangerously refreshing, it’s easily a new favorite. Chulita nails it with style, substance, and a menu that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend for a night out, a casual lunch, or just a killer cocktail with friends.

Zooies Cookies provided exceptional catering for our recent work event. The cookies were delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, and they were a huge success with our team. We were particularly impressed with the wide variety of options available, including gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free choices, ensuring there was something for everyone. The entire experience, from the easy ordering process to the outstanding service from Arvin and Carolina, was fantastic. They were incredibly kind and helpful, and even offered to personally deliver our order. Zooies Cookies added a special touch to our event, and we received numerous compliments. Will for sure be using them for future events :)

Julieta Mariotti

Very good place for breakfast. Varied food and many Gluten Free options, which is difficult to find

Amy “FabulousFoodie”

Gluten-free HEAVEN! I recently became gluten-free due to an auto immune condition and was so sad to have to give up my beloved bread and pastry products. That was until I heard about rising heart bakery! Their take and bake cinnamon rolls, millet bread and bagels are off the chart good! Yes, you will spend a little bit more but it’s absolutely worth it to keep these delicious foodie staples in your life! Even if I wasn’t gluten-free I would still absolutely keep these in my pantry!

We had a very nice server and there’s a great ambiance at Scopa, perfect for dates and connecting with friends alike. They have a gorgeous bar, large window, candles on the tables, and all of our food came perfectly coursed. We were easily able to make a same-day reservation via the Resy app, and I do recommend making a reservation in advance because it was popping when we arrived. For parking, you can either park in the connected valet lot ($13 on a Monday) or look for free street parking (we found it pretty easily, but then again it was a Monday). There are the top four absolute must-order items you should order to share: 1. Hot Antipasti - Scallops Oreganata ($23) with brown butter, bread crumbs, & lemon. I’m gluten free so I asked for no breadcrumbs, and I also recommend ordering a side of gluten free bread to dip in the brown butter after you finish enjoying the scallops because they have the absolute best gluten free cheesecheese bread! They only came with 2 scallops in an order so consider ordering enough so each person can have at least 1 full scallop. 2. Hot Antipasti - Mortadella Meatballs ($21) with pistachio pesto, arugula, & parmesan cheese. This came with 3 medium-large sized meatballs covered in a delicious green pesto - don’t let looks deceive you, even if this isn’t how you expect meatballs to look they’re delish. 3. Cold Antipasti - Heirloom Tomatoes ($18) with sweet onion, basil, ricotta salata cheese, sherry vinegar, & olive oil. If you enjoy tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, this is the dish for you. My favorite were the little orange tomatoes. 4. Salad - Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad ($22) with generous pecorino romano cheese, parsley, grapes, olive oil, sherry vinegar, & toasted almonds. This was a good portion size and the best raw Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. While I did really enjoy the flavor of oysters themselves and their sauces, and I do want to put them as item 5 to order, each of the oysters had some shell bits had to spit out, and it only came with 1 spoon and 0 mini forks. The oysters come with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, shredded horseradish, mignonette, and are $4.50 each with a minimum of 6. I would order them again, but enjoy them carefully and hope that they’re shucked better next time. However… Maybe things were off because it was a Monday and they had multiple large last minute parties walk in. Maybe I should have gone for the pastas instead of the below because it is an Italian restaurant. Maybe I’m just a person who enjoys more seasoning on seafood or less sauce on pork chops, but a few of the dishes weren’t exactly as good as I was expecting. Unless you love canned tuna, absolutely avoid the Sicilian Tuna Cold Antipasti ($19) with market green beans, fingerling potato, capers, lemon, & olive oil. It wasn’t until we mentioned to our server our strong disappointment with the dish, as we were expecting either Tuna Crudo or Seared Tuna, that our server told us that he usually steers guests away from it. It also had zero seasoning, and boy did it need it. It also feels like this dish should have automatically been served with crackers. The Amberjack Crudo ($25) with watermelon radish, bulls blood micro greens, & herb oil needed a combo-sauce or a stronger flavored oil, as it was very bland as-is. Luckily not a fishy-fish, but still lackluster for their only fish crudo on the menu. For the Mains, they were already sold out of the 24oz T-bone Steak ($82) when we arrived, and the server recommended the Pork Chop. The generous portion of Pork Chop ($66) came with crispy fingerling potatoes, roasted shallots, olives, capers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, & fresh herbs. The balsamic was more of a thick, sweet, heavy glaze, and it overpowered the meat. Personally, we both felt it was over-sauced.

the breakfast deluxe is my favorite thing ever and my go-to safe food meal. awesome vegan & gluten free options :)

Ron Ronald

A wonderful place for some of the best-tasting food. My soup was homemade-like, the tuna salad sandwich was tasty and heated. The avocado toast was the best I've ever had. And the chocolate cake—just order a slice. Yes, it's all gluten-free, but don't pass it up if you're not on a GF diet, as it's a healthy alternative to most places.

Nicole R

I had no idea gluten-free bagels could be this delicious! Hats off to you, Pop’s!

Angela Hurley

Amazing gluten free dessert! They have gluten free and vegan options! I haven't had churros in such a lot time. Super cute ambiance inside. Staff is a little unfriendly but that's ok. Ive been twice and I have brought my friends too!

Trey Patterson

Server natalie j was a gem! She was very careful with my Celiac disease. The food was great, the short rib was a little over done, however, the beverages were superb, and I had a great time overall!

Masha B

Best gluten free bagel I’ve had anywhere, ever

Anastasiya Emelyanova

Good atmosphere, friendly servants, and great gluten-free menu.

Nacho DaTank

Yum! Service was outstanding, very clean tables, and delicious fresh and hot food and at a reasonable price for the food (the alcohol was too fancy $$ for me lol) and the Chocolate Gluten Free cake was so delicious borderline decadent 🤭 definitely recommend even if you aren't in a gluten free diet.

Hanna Hondzo

I can’t speak to cross contamination but the fries were good and they had the best gf burger bun I’ve ever had in my life! They also had 2 gf dessert options.

Kelsey Hays

Food was delicious, gluten free bun was great!

Charlie Ratcliffe

Delicious. Gluten free bun a huge win too.

Spencer Sheehan

For celiacs that are also allergic to oats, their almond flour based cookies and brownies are great!

jaz mojica

Acacia Leigh

Safe for the Gluten Free community!! Fries and chili are gluten free! And they have gluten free hot dog and burger buns:) they also take precautions against cross contamination. Safe safe safe :)

Rebecca

Have a couple gluten free options! Only 2 gf cheesecakes

Lois Holloway

Tom Ely

Delicious! similar to pine and crane but feels a little more hectic. Very popular so be prepared to queue. Limited gluten free options but everything I’ve eaten there is excellent. Get the bowl of greens. Simple elegant flavours you won’t find anywhere.

Emily Loughran

Welcoming space with wonderful food. Healthy wraps and artisanal gluten free donuts—lemon glazed thyme donut—wow!!

Valerie Smith

OMG! THIS DAIRY FREE SHAKE IS AMAZING! Also the gluten free bun! I can't beleive i can eat a whole meal here with a dairy and gluten allergy...heven

Natalie Hampton

PRO: Gluten free bun option CON: lack of knowledge from staff about gluten free options, no labeled menu, no allergen menu

Samantha Baron

So yummy! Gluten free pancake was great! Wonderful service and very aware of food allergies.

Dana Sultan

Really nice place, they have gluten free options. Wait was fine, recommended

Jayne

absolutely delicious peanut butter, cookies, both regular and the vegan gluten-free cookies. We needed the cookies for a special event. They were extremely accommodating, so professional, and the cookies were the dessert that gobbled up the fastest. I will definitely be ordering from them again. I can’t wait to try out the shipping, and send to friends who are gluten-free. Highly, highly recommend!

Myn Black

Bro this place is a sin in all the best ways! They have gluten free and dairy free options that don’t make you feel like you’re missing out on great treats! This is probably the best tasting I’ve cream I’ve ever had, not even exaggerating. I’m addicted to Jeni’s… it’s becoming a problem

Rachelle L

I love this place sooooo much but PLEEEAAASE make a gluten free in any other flavor than chocolate chip. It’s good but it’s just the worst flavor and I love these cakes so much but I want one in a good flavor. It can be a weird flavor I don’t mind just not chocolate chip!!!!!!
