⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Cupcake heaven with a serious espresso game!” Omg — I’m obsessed! Their espresso is incredible — seriously, way smoother and richer than Starbucks. You can tell they use a higher-quality grind. The brownie was next-level, super fudgy and flavorful. What really stood out to me is how inclusive they are — they offer vegan and gluten-free options that actually taste amazing. And don’t even get me started on the cupcake selection.

The menu mentions asking about gluten-free options, so I asked what was gluten-free. The answer, “everything”. They have gluten-free toast, French toast, and waffles! They also have sugar-free syrup! Having a wheat allergy and being diabetic usually means I have to be very selective. I was amazed at how accommodating this restaurant is. The food was amazing and Phillip was an excellent server!

I love Simon’s! I’ve been going for years and the food is always amazing! I always go for any vegan specials and the soups are always delicious and unique! I also never leave without a dessert for later! Such a great variety of vegan, gluten free and other items! A huge bonus is that their entire team is incredible! Local- family owned- great options- check them out!

100/10, absolutely excellent. Especially if you have Celiac and have to be gluten free -- they have GOT YOU. This is one of the largest gluten free menus I've ever been able to order from that wasn't a dedicated GF restaurant. We got the drunken shrimp, chicken risotto, and smores budino, and it was so good! There were five or six GF deserts I could've chosen too, which is unheard of. The gluten free bread alone won me over. It was so incredible, even my husband loved it. The wine is delicious -- we joined the wine club and got the seasonal dragonfruit sangria, as well as the white sangria. Highly recommend!! Bonita at the wine tasting bar took care of us, she has the best personality and laugh, such a joy. 🥰 Give this woman a raise! Also Casey W, our waitress, for the great service and taking care of my GF needs. We had such a great experience, we definitely recommend. Top 3 restaurant in the Tampa/St. Pete/Saraota area for us.

My wife, 2 six year old girls and myself waited 25 minutes in line that was out to the curb. The chalk board had gluten free flavors and dairy free flavors. Once we got up to order we were told they were out of dairy free. They had been out for hours. Try telling your 6 year old who is allergic to dairy who was excited for about a half hour about ice cream she can't have any. What's the point of an updated menu if it's not marked. Do better and let the people at the curb know what's available.

Fountain of youth discovered! Run do not walk to this hidden gem on Stickney Point and Gateway in Sarasota. If I could’ve bought the place out I would’ve! Check out all the awesome REAL food here full of organic, gluten free, vegan, GMO free, plant based life nourishing fuel. This place has figured out the perfect blend of go to recipes and local vendor medley that can almost replace your grocery store. Try the drive thru for a quick pick up of plant based hot and cold drinks, gluten free donuts and awesome shots to pump your day like elderberry and anti inflammatory. When you head inside you’ll be super stoked to find a treasure trove of the coolest food and treats around. My whole family has health issues that we are tackling by plugging into this healthy local family owned business committed to helping people heal. Just started replacing our not so healthy shelves with these health packed goodies and sure enough it doesn’t get better than hearing our family say hey pick me up some of that Crop stuff! Woot!!!! When your fam feels good you feel good, just can’t say enough about this place. Ask for Tyler he’s the guru on anything you need help with totally cool vibe and will steer you to just the right items for you and your family. CROP you ROCk! I think I’m going to need a monthly subscription plan, what do ya say CROP?!! Sign me up!

As much as I love Culver's, recently I've been having a major problem as I have to be gluten-free. They forgot about half of my order like the toppings I've ordered and then they forget the condiments. Their food is delicious though that's why I keep going back

Great place to eat! I can always count on Bonefish Grill when I'm hungry and need something tasty and filling. I'm gluten free and they have a dedicated menu for us GF peeps. Servers are always friendly and attentive. I always get the sirloin and shrimp with the garlic potatoes. Make sure to try the chimmichurri, it's wonderful with the steak and shrimp! Everyone in my family gets the same thing because it's so tasty. And yes, it's on the gluten free menu. There's also gluten free desserts, there are two you can enjoy: The Macadamia Nut Brownie and the Creme Brûlée. Great atmosphere, service, consistently great food, dietary restriction friendly... What's not to love? This place is a staple for my household.

Great place to stop when heading home from Venice. Always a great meal and Gluten free bun option.

Kerstin Long

Really special place. The macroons are all gluten free and amazing! Our family tried: birthday cake, bubble gum, belgian chocolate, praline and coffee. All were amazing. Even the bubble gum was totally edible though obviously meant for kids. The praline and coffee were sweetwithout being gross and just perfect. Thank god we dont live anywhere near this place!

My favorite Coffee shop in Sarasota! We moved to the area 3 years ago and I started to visit every single coffee shop, ofKors have great options of pastries and their coffee quality is excellent! The place is really Hygge🙌🏼 and they have some gluten free options that becomes our favorite.

The best key lime pie ever!! So glad we found this on my find me gluten free app. My celiac husband was extremely happy. Owner so very friendly and personal.

Beth Bostrom

The staff have been very knowledgeable and helpful with all my Celiac gluten precautions and questions. They have a gluten free bun, so most burgers can be made gluten-free. I prefer to order at the counter register so I can talk to a staff member and clarify preparation process and ingredients. I always have to ask those things in case something has changed, and they are so patient and nice. Seriously, the customer service has been fantastic. There's a shared fryer, so I can't have the fries. And the shacksauce has spices and natural flavors without origin, so I skip that. But the gluten-free bun hasn't fallen apart on me and the burgers are delicious, so that's a win! If you have gluten issues and are craving a quick and yummy burger, I definitely recommend this location of Shake Shack.

Steph Sundell

Wow this place has A LOT of gluten free options with their unique ice cream flavors. I was helped today by Lori and she was super nice explained all the different flavors for me and gave me lots of samples to help me choose. I will be coming back this is my favorite ice cream spot now! Thank you for the delightful treat and service!

Taylor Keefe

Love this place! Stumbled upon it during my vacation and could not be happier. Great for my gluten free/vegan people. Doesn’t taste like artificial sugars/sweetener; it’s very natural and filling!

Mike and Emily Geiser

Used to love this place but lately it’s been on the decline. There is too much competition in the area for this to happen. Step up your game or I’ll have to stick with ONLY the gluten free cheese cake option…I don’t think they can mess that up!

Malin Parker

I really want to like Culver's. They are one of the few places in town that are able offer a burger with a gluten-free bun where my wife knows she won't get sick. Nothing bad about the food, but I just like places where you can "taste the love" that goes into it.

Michelle Jackson

Already 95% gluten free, will bring out fresh sides if needed as well. Very understanding.
