Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.

Into healthier food options?! Stop by Panacea. They have a nice selection of healthy tasty dishes. The classic burger plant based with gluten free bun is one of my favorites. The coconut curry soup is amazing.

More like Miss the Point. So my partner has celiac/gluten free, which is why we came here. First off the guy who brought us our water was the best part of our evening, he was really friendly. A bit later our actual waiter came and told us “Everything” on the menu can be made gluten free, multiple times and that the chef was celiac. He then went on to describe the menu to us for quite a while, like 5-10 min a while. Cool so we picked the beet salad to split and chicken wings to start with. Well the chicken wings are not gluten free, so we went with the pickled vegetables instead. And we ordered the Mahi fish, which also has a $5 charge for splitting as noted on the daily printed menu we were informed about. First they gave us “vegetables” instead of bread. It was dry carrots, purple cauliflower, and uncooked fennel, no dipping sauce , yum. Then our salad came out split on two plates, and I’m not kidding it was about 7 pieces of lettuce and one beat (split) between us. And the dressing was a spicy buffalo sauce. It was weird. Then the pickled vegetables came out, well they weren’t pickled, but they definitely had been sitting in some vinegar somewhere, my guess is about 10 min before they came. A bit later the waiter came back and said the Mahi was out and they could substitute scallops, and also substitute the white chocolate mole sauce for butternut squash. At this point we had no idea what we were about to consume. We gladly said no and skipped the main course. The drinks came and were “fine”, nothing bad nor special. The waiter knew something was wrong; so he offered to take the pickled vegetables off the ticket - thanks I guess… it was still $60 too much. We instead went to the corner market and got some Ruffles and Onion dip - it cost about $6 and was better than anything PinPoint had to offer and was actually gluten free, the guys (locals) behind the counter never heard of the PinPoint. It’s a tourist trap, don’t go here.

Three10 is located in a lovely house with an open kitchen and a large outdoor space. The tables are well spaced so you never feel hemmed in. The staff is professional and attentive. The menu includes imaginative preparations for their dishes, one of my favorites is the black garlic Caesar salad. The special of the day was a striped bass over polenta with guanciale and puttanesca which my husband loved. The roasted oysters prepared with bacon, collards and cornbread crumbs are wonderful. They have a dedicated gluten free fryer and most dishes can be prepared gluten free. Highly recommend!

Celiac safe and so delicious!!!! Our wonderful server (Eva) was not only friendly and prompt but she was very knowledgeable about celiac. I felt very confident with our options. The meals was pricey (which we expected) and completely worth it. The bananas foster with gluten free snickerdoodles and brownies is a must.

A late-night gem with warm cookies and vegan options, though the vibe could use a bit more cheer from the staff.

Great place to go if you have a sweet tooth because they stay open late. I like how they keep the cookies in a warmer so they are warm when you get them. It is a really small store but they offer cookies 🍪 brownies, ice cream 🍦 and a cooler with milk.they do have some vegan options, and gluten-free options. The worker didn’t seem very happy to be working like she would rather be anywhere else. She did answer a question I had but she didn’t seem happy
