Gluten-free HEAVEN. Make sure you stop here. You will be so happy you did.

Jacqueline Loiseau

Very knowledgeable staff for allergies. I got the fish tacos and when I asked the waitress about switching the sauce from a dairy one she had an amazing recommendation! The tacos came as a rice bowl for GF and had an allergy notice indicated on my meal. Amazing place!

This was hands down, the BEST fish and chips I have EVER had (even better than London). Highly recommend!

Chris Moulton

Service here was amazing! This gluten free bakery has got to be one of the BEST things I have ever had before! The service here is very good and I must say they are really nice employees. I hope to come back to this place over the weekends and even tho it's expensive all it matters is that it's the best in town! Also, thank you for everything you guys do for the brunswick area teen center! I go to the teen center alot and I have some of the granola deserts and I LOVE them alot. I liked the two boston cream donuts and the smores bar I had this morning. Again thank you guys for everything and I can see this business being the best ones in town!

Really really great pizza! We tried two gluten free pizzas, the pepperoni hot honey and the chicken bacon ranch. The crust is really good but the highlight was the chicken bacon ranch. Best I've had ever. The location offers beautiful views and the atmosphere was great.

It was very busy when we went in, but all the staff members were kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food is excellent. My husband got coffee, which came in a carafe…very efficient and convenient, thank you. My hot tea came in a smaller carafe/pot, which was obviously only used for tea…so there wasn’t a coffee taste at all (thank you!!). It kept my tea very hot which is also so great. I noted the vegan and gluten free options, which is so wonderful to see. I do not need GF food, but people I care about do…so it is lovely to see it offered. I also enjoy vegan food, though I did not get that this morning (I’m vegetarian, so again, it’s great to see vegetarian/vegan options). Their attention to detail is what made it so great. And the decor in their restrooms/water closets were entertaining lol.

We arrived five minutes after one but the person behind the counter said read the sign,very disappointed! People just walked out with a box in there hand.

Megan Stowe

It made me so happy to have gluten free fried shrimp and french fries. My husband said his clams were great and the non gf blueberry cornbread was delicious.

Heidi Raphaela-Alamosa

I have been going here since moving to Maine in 2020....not because I am medically gluten free....just because it is great stuff! I try to stop in just for a muffin but usually come away with a lot more! Lots of creative variety, side by side with the old standby--delicious blueberry muffin, in case you're not in the mood for the fun rotating unique flavors. I am not telling my favorites because I want some to be left when I get there! LOL Nice staff, very talented baker who must work very hard!

Ray Bernoff

As someone with celiac, I felt very taken care of at The Bakeshop! I was excited to see gf focaccia -- a rare treat -- and the cashier Corbin went out of his way to check which of the gf baked goods were oat-free for me. The portions are huge, which is also uncommon for gluten free food. If I lived nearby, I would go here all the time!

Vanessa Weeks

Great service and great food! Wonderful gluten free options for Italian food.

A Whit

Outstanding cafe with amazing employees, a great place to hang out with friends, and excellent gluten free options (with allergy-aware staff). We really need more places like Aubrey’s in Southern Maine and the Seacoast.

Alysia Ward

I was very excited to have a gluten-free bun for a lobster roll. Another person at the table loved the lobster poutine. Highly recommend!

Ion Balaurea

Large Selection. Super Fast and Friendly service. Gluten Free Option Had the Lobster Roll and Shrimp Roll Both were delicious. Large portions One is enough for two usually. Depending on what you buy,

Jacqueline Loiseau

Amazing gluten free and vegan ice cream and cones!! Plus the workers were so nice!

Jeremy Reich

As someone living gluten free, it's amazing to find a bakery like this nearby. I got a breakfast sandwich, a strawberry muffin, and a cinnamon bun...and all was spectacular. It's rare to be able to indulge in this range of high quality baked goods. Great if you're gluten free...but also just great stuff - check it out! P.S. there are some photos from Baristas and Bites, this team's Portland location, which they relocated to Cape as b+b Bakery a few years ago. Don't be confused if it looks different in its current location in Cape Elizabeth.

I wanted to rave about this place because they have gluten free items on the menu and it is hard to find an Italian restaurant that offers this. I was impressed that they offer gluten free bread for dipping and for the bruschetta appetizer, which I had. The bruschetta tasted good, however the bread was a little soggy. The salad that came with our meals was delicious and the highlight of the meal. Because they offered gluten free lasagna I decided to try that but I was very disappointed. There was hardly any meat in my serving, the sauce was meager and not very tasty and I wished I had ordered something else. My husband wasn't impressed with his entree, either. However, my brother-in-law loved his chicken alfredo so I would go again and order one of the other intriguing items that I thought about trying before giving up on this place.

Sandwich was good but they put all the meat in a big mound in the center so the edges were just bread. Their bagels aren't good- too bready, not enough gluten. They are not chewy like real bagels. They're only popular because Bangorians have never had a real bagel. Atmosphere is chaotic and hectic, all the hard surfaces make it very echoey and hard to hold a conversation. They replaced all the wood floors with cheap looking laminate. The plastic silverware is so flimsy, my spoon was bending trying to eat the potato salad. Staff were very friendly.

Love this place.

A fantastic coffee shop in Camden. We enjoyed coffee and baked goods every morning during our stay in Camden. Our Americano’s were perfect and don’t forget to add one of the delicious baked goods(all gluten free) to go with your coffee…you will not be disappointed! We enjoyed the ginger oat bars, muffins and lemon blueberry bread. The staff are welcoming and very friendly! They make you feel right at home 😊

Julia Toth

Incredible service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. We particularly loved the playlist of soft rock with a few country song sprinkled in. Our server Rhene was very sweet and attentive, excellent service. We had two very very sensitive celiacs in our group and she and the restaurant were very attentive. We got the pulled pork sandwich, the chicken buffalo sandwich (with GF breaded chicken! my husband’s favorite he’s ever had), and the burger with an egg on it. They have a separate GF frier and plenty of yummy options. All the food was absolutely incredible. We also got a non-GF blueberry pie that blew us all away. 10/10 would recommend. And we felt very safe in terms of cross-contamination.

Ray Humes

Great selections for gluten and dairy free and the staff was very friendly.

Michelle Cekala

This is a wonderful food truck that offered all the tastes of the big e that was safe for my family with celiac. The food was so good and my husband who does not eaten gluten free said it was better then anything he ate all day.

Andy

They had gluten free waffle cones! And vegan ice cream. It’s been a while since my wife could have chocolate ice cream in a waffle cones and she says it was delicious. I got the dulce de leche (not dairy free) and it was really good!

Kris Bjork

Love this place for breakfast. They have gluten free options and seem knowledgeable about it as well.

Jacqueline Loiseau

My husband and I stopped in for coffee and was so happy to see the gluten free vegan options! We tried the scones, the muffins, and a breakfast sandwich and all were amazing!

Anthony Gauvin

My favorite coffee shop...the best coffee roasted by the owner so it's ridiculously fresh. Great atmosphere and great eats ...everything is gluten free!

Gabrielle Bodian

I'm from CT & come up to York often, everytime I come I make it a point to grab some breakfast here, I crave it! The quality is consistent, they use fresh ingredients, the staff are always friendly, there's gluten free options available & they sell lovebirds donuts too! 5 stars all the way *****

Lox bagel on gluten free bread was soo good

Jessica Merithew

Poor service: I sat in this restaurant for 1hr 10 min and was never fed. Here's how: I ordered a burger and it came out with the wrong toppings, TWICE. Plus, both remakes took over 12 minutes to come to me. (12 minutes for the first, 14 minutes for the second, which is about the same amount of time that it took to deliver our food the first time.) Typically a remake is put at the front of the line, apparently not here. By the time remake #1 came, my husbands food was cold (he was trying to be kind and wait to eat with me). By the time remake #2 came, my husband had eaten his dinner (b/c it was getting really ridiculous to keep waiting.) I opted to take remake #2 to go, as I didn't want to sit there any longer, queue major frustration. We were a two top. A four top next to us sat after us, ordered after us, got their food, ate, paid their bill, and left, all before I was correctly given the food that I ordered. Pros: Beautiful back deck overlooking the water, and gluten free beer option. They comped both of our meals b/c we asked them to.

It was different than I was expecting based on their Instagram posts…the highlight of the space is definitely the bar, with the dining room more stark and less cozy than I anticipated. The Brussels sprouts and fried pork belly appetizers were delicious, but the main steak and ramen entrees were a bit underwhelming. The steak was over cooked and the ramen wasn’t especially well-spiced or flavorful. The best part of the menu was the fact that it was extremely gluten-free friendly - including the slice of birthday cake slice with butter cream frosting.

Jim Bellville

Found this place as a gluten-free option for breakfast. The gluten-free bagel was really, really good. We also got regular bagel breakfast sandwiches, and those were great too! Good coffee. Quick and friendly service. Definitely worth stopping in!

Ruby Singh

Sweet staff, great flavors, I love that they have a very small size to choose. Only wish they would label their flavors dairy free, gluten free, nut free for allergens to prevent the need to ask

Matthew S. Gerardi

My wife and I caught a whiff of this place when we were walking by, smelled like waffle cones! We had to stop. My wife had a gluten free, dairy free vanilla ice cream that she says was the best one shes tried. I tried a chocolate chip cookie that was about the size of my head. Great spot for a treat. Staff was very friendly.

Joel Fridman

What a tasty ice cream and super nice staff. We asked for a Gluten free cone and not only they had it but also scooped the ice cream from a separated bash to avoid contamination.

Karen Garcia

Sarah Salo

Sasha is the best & so creative. I’ve never had better gluten free cupcakes in my life !!!!!

The Fab Forty

Fantastic little find in Scarborough Maine. Great food, nice selection of local brews, great gluten free options. Set back away from main road, so you may miss it. Outdoor seating, friendly staff. The bathrooms were absolutely gorgeous, and clean. Will definitely stop back again when we are in the area. Prices were average, nothing out of the ordinary.

Andrew Flanagan

I have celiac disease and needed a Gluten free meal. I got a delicious bacon cheeseburger on a GF bun. I couldn't eat the fries from the fryer so they gave me some roasted red potatoes. They were excellent. Very happy with my road meal. Will definitely order again when I go through kingfield.

Ross Anthony

Absolutely phenomenal food, drinks, and service! Best margaritas around. Food is consistently delicious. Great for those with dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, etc.). Highly recommended!

M. C

The lattes are on point and there are gluten free options! I’m sure I’ll spend plenty of time here over the next two years of my education.

D S Paull

The service at this location was quick, and considerate. We had Michelle as our server this AM. She was quite helpful and knowledgeable in assisting my wife, choose a gluten free meal. The food came out, and it was good! I had some apprehension art first, as the silver dollar pancakes came out and 'felt' a bit tough. But the whipped butter, and the real maple syrup, made them great! The scrambled eggs were perfect. It really tased like I made them myself. Maybe they have my recipe . . .

Russel Weich

Great place to eat in this small town! Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Oh & dessert! The staff was super friendly and the food was really good & always hot. We had a large group (6 or more) every time we went & they always were great. If you need gluten free or have dietary restrictions they have a binder that lists everything each recipe has in it. That was really helpful for my wife! The chocolate cream pies and other desserts were also really good!

Got a tasty cheeseburger and fries here today. I can't eat gluten, so I had it without the bun. Many times when I've ordered elsewhere folks don't remember I'll need a fork, but the gentleman who helped me today was thoughtful enough to include one! And the burger didn't need a knife by any means, it was perfect for the fork alone. Also, I was excited to have a Fanta. They're harder to find around here.

Tara Feria

In a land of rubbery gluten free bagels, Mister Bagel knows how to fluff it up! I had the cinnamon raisin and super, both GF, and they were amazing!! The bagels were fluffy and the cream cheese was tasty.

Angela Quirion

They have a decent gluten free veggie wrap that I really enjoyed on the run! They also have dairy free cream cheese!

Kelly Dyer

I’d pretty much given up hope of eating good (or even decent) bread this summer after having to cut out gluten for some health stuff … until my mom brought home bagels from Kport bagels! I was so pleasantly surprised. Great texture and taste - not too heavy like many other GF bread options. We live in Brooklyn during the rest of the year and despite luckily having lots of GF bakery options around, I’ve just been skipping them because they’re mostly just expensive and sad. This was not the case! I just had an everything and kept a plain in the freezer, but it’s been so long since I’ve had a good bagel — I might just eat it now 😅 Side note: They recommended keeping them in the freezer and then toasting twice (once to defrost, then to toast) and that was perfect advice.

Elle Jay the Original

Good food, comfortable atmosphere, model train tracks around overhead and tropical fish tank in the back. Gluten free menu is limited, but they served me sides of chicken and broccoli as a meal.
