Dawn Speidel

Great baked goods! Their scones are AMAZING!

Michelle Crow

We were so pleased to see an entirely gluten free menu. Not only was the food tasty but the staff were amazing. Sophia and Delilah were so I sweet and kind and highly attentive. The ambiance was so charming and cozy. It felt like a small town cafe where you are always welcome and you are always greeted with a smile. We will return soon.

Kumar Jensen

Loved the vibe, friendly staff, and a great assortment of classics but gluten free. The presentation of the food as well as the flavor of both the savories and sweets was excellent.

Nancy Morris

Recently started my gluten free journey and so glad they have they have a full gluten free menu. Kaitlyn our server was attentive and so nice.

Julia Green

Wow the food tasted as good as it looked! Everything is vegan and gluten free but it doesn't taste like it is! We ordered the cheese plate which had so much variety and different flavors! Everything was so fresh, beautifully presented, and filling! We left with full stomachs. My favorite was the chocolate chip cookies. It was gooey but didn't leave me feeling icky like most sweets!

Alliyah McClendon

Absolutely loved this place! If you live around the area or happen to be in town this bakery is definitely a go to! I am 100% gluten free with celiac and when I tell you this is the best tasting baked goods I’ve had since I started my journey! I got the cinnamon rollup, beignet donuts, donut holes, muffin (berries), and quiche! Donuts were my fav! It is a little bit pricey but if you’re celiac you already know the drill! Definitely worth it especially when you get a little bit of everything!

Sheila Gross

Wonderful food with excellent service at the bar and at our table. Aware of gluten issues. All food was marked when it came to the table. 💗

Ash Holbert

They are amazing with allergies. They have great gluten free pizza and a tone of options. The gluten free cookie and Sunday is amazing!

Heather Barker

My daughter with celiac eats here every time we are in Columbus. Best breakfast options.

Carrie Crutcher

Went for a family dinner this past Saturday. Service was great. We made reservations and we were sat immediately even tho it was packed. Our waitress was awesome. I have Celiac disease and felt totally comfortable and safe eating there and having to be gluten free. I want to give 5 stars instead of 4 but I just can’t because of the food. It really just wasn’t very good. I got a vegetable and rice dish with chicken that was lacking flavor majorly. Our appetizer was the “spicy” pimento dip that was hard and not spicy. It just didn’t fair well. My mom got shrimp pasta and said it was underwhelming. Daughter got chicken fingers and said the same thing . I’m going to go back and try again, maybe it’ll be better next time. I really want to like it since the rest of the experience was so good.

william hargrove

Really good food great gluten free menu. Service was good.

Tini Mueller

One of the best gluten free places I have ever been. The wait staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to gluten free, the menu is so inclusive. I love it here so much! OH and the GLUTEN FREE chicken tenders… so good!!

Isaac Meats

I have only had good experiences at Figlio! I am gluten free (sensitive) and have not had any issues. The workers are very nice and knowledgeable!

Rusty Shakleford

Great resource for gluten free, prices are a little high but that's the nature of this, donuts on the weekends are really excellent

AmberLynn Dunn

My favorite bakery!!! the cupcakes are always on point!!

Maddie Geurts

Had a great coffee & breakfast here this morning. I love to see a vegan & gluten free place. Staff was so kind. Coffee & all dishes we had were very delicious. Would definitely come back here.

Jessica Sears

I’ve been gluten free for 20 years and I was so excited to have a place to eat that almost the whole menu was gluten free! I had fried cheese curds to share at the table, the gf lobster roll, and gf hush puppies. Everything was seasoned perfectly and delicious! What a gem!

Monica

This was my first time eating at Gregory's and I loved it! The fact that they offer a decent sized gluten free menu for my GF sister was truly appreciated. Eileen was our server....she was super friendly and made sure our visit was great! She was on top of refills and checking to see if we needed anything. This is definitely a new favorite lunch spot!

Dalila Di Rienzo

Ciambelle di tutti i tipi! Opzioni senza glutine e vegane 🌱 hanno anche il caffè!

Gabe O.

Very good traditional American diner. The food was delicious and their service is great. They have a gluten free menu available on request.

Joseph Coppus

Great food, chill atmosphere, and lots of great gluten free options!

Sarah Balaban

They always have the best stuff. When birthdays come around I always have to pop in to grab my boy cupcakes so he doesn’t feel left out. He gets terrible eczema from gluten.

donna locher

Great gluten free sandwiches & desserts.

imakethemap

Great place to get casual food. Usually need Open Table or to call direct to get a reservation during peak lunch and dinner hours so you don't have to wait, can make reservations earlier in day to get a party of four in later. Really good food for the gluten-sensitive. Lighting can be a bit dark for visually impaired.

Toni Sacco

Homegrown hangout boasting craft beer and unique (and dare I say, gourmet) hotdog combos—personal favorite is the “Classy Lady”. Always delicious with excellent, speedy service. Delighted to see gluten free buns on the menu!

Dustin Greiner

A wide variety of gluten free options, the food was delicious and it’s attached to a cool book store you can check out while you wait because like all good places, it’s busy.

Mol Keifer

For someone with celiac the hunt for gluten free usually means increased cost and decreased options and flavor. What a thrill to find Kathy's Creations which has so many delicious options. We got cookies, donuts, pepperoni rolls, lemon loaf, and pizza crust. Everyone in the family loves. Definitely will visit anytime we're in town

My husband and I went to The Refectory last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server Lisa was very personable and did such a wonderful job educating us about the dishes offered and drink selections. The Refectory operates differently than most Ohio/US restaurants. It's recommended to order all courses ahead of time as they are small batch. We ordered 4 courses and even though the plates are smaller than "normal" we were pleasantly stuffed at the end of our meal. To note, courses do come out at a slower, more European pace. Our entire dinner took 2.5 hours. I highly enjoyed the slow pace, it gave us more of a chance to slowly savor our dishes and really connect. The escargot is more in a loaf type form and comes with a garlicky sauce that is just amazing. Not pictured is the soup I had which was the vegetarian, which was deliciously simple but definitely warming. My husband had the shrimp that had a lovely bright vinaigrette followed by the arugula salad. The arugula paired with the pancetta (I think) was delicious as the fat cut the sharpness of the arugula. For my main course I had the sturgeon which I highly recommend. It was meltingly soft and the potatoes/vegetables provided a contrasting crunch. My husband had the duck which he highly enjoyed, the cherry sauce had a tartness he enjoyed but I did not particularly care for. Dessert we both chose the creme brulee. The grand marnier was a nice change from a standard vanilla, it was beautifully silky and paired so well with probably the BEST latte I have ever had. There were a few items I'm going to grumble about but really are minor and not worth detracting any stars: I have celiac and the gluten free bread basket at $5 extra was rather disappointing. It looked like regular sliced sandwich bread that was cut in diagonals. I'll skip the bread next time as Cameron Mitchell restaurants, Cooper's Hawk and others have better to offer. The other grumbly item is the lack of dessert options for someone with celiac. I could choose between the creme brulee or I believe a sorbet. Dessert is my absolute favorite course so this was disappointing. It's the reason we'll come back maybe once or twice a year, but probably not more.

Grace Norwood

Alyssia did a wonderful job. Would like to see more gluten free options.

Melissa Porter

A wonderful establishment that is one of the most accommodating places I’ve ever been to.

Amy Jackson

My seven-year-old granddaughter is gluten-free (celiac) so we struggle to find good places that actually acknowledge kids are gluten-free too. This has been her favorite place to go so far! They have tons of options and are very nice people. It is quite pricey so we go once a month and stock up on treats for her.

Kelly Aardema

Everything is so good here!! You'd never know everything is vegan and gluten free. We got snickerdoodles, chocolate chip cookies, coffee cake muffins, and carrot cake bars ❤️🤤

kevin costello

Food was a 3.5 it was good diner food with vegan options with smaller serving size than many diners. Price high for a regular diner but fit the general area that looks to be exploding with development. Best thing I had was goetta. It was a loose sausage like patty made of pork beef oats pepper and bay leaves (I think). It is apparently a local dish and I really enjoyed it. Gluten free pancake was ok, but normal cakes looked great. Really cool vibe in building and area. Well worth a visit.

Dalila Di Rienzo

Se hai intolleranze o allergie questo posto fa al caso tuo, il caffè e buono ed hanno tante cosine GF e Vegane! Arredato in modo carinissimo ed all’interno trovi un mini market pieno di accessori vari 🤩

Sarah Balaban

Celiac safe! They are very knowledgable and sensitive to gluten allergies.

Tiffany Woods

100% GF bakery!

Trevor Beaulieu

Amazing experience at Jeremiah’s Coffee House! The service is exceptional—food and drinks are brought to your table, which is a rare and thoughtful touch for a café. Justin was incredibly welcoming, patient, and helpful, offering great suggestions. He and the entire staff worked seamlessly together, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Though I’m not a big coffee drinker, I was impressed by their extensive menu, featuring countless drink options and a huge gluten-free selection. I ordered the GF cinnamon roll and the pepperoni roll—both were made fresh in-house, warmed up perfectly, and absolutely delicious. This is the perfect spot to meet with friends, get some work done, or simply relax. I’ll definitely be bringing my friends and family here. Highly recommend!

Charlie Denny Jr.

This was the perfect fresh breakfast I’ve been searching for. Food was delicious, staff were helpful, and the atmosphere was amazing. The “Bee Cake” pancakes piqued my interest and my waitress was happy to explain. Basically, it’s a gluten free pancake made with honey and pollen that helps the dough raise like a “normal” pancake. However it had a surprisingly familiar mouth feel and a welcomed nutty flavor! Couldn’t be happier! The breakfast sandwich I got was also delicious and fresh. Truly enjoyed this breakfast so much, I might say it’s the best part of the whole city!

Wendy Batdorf

I eat gluten free cuz it causes bad headaches and my body hurts like I have the flu & it causes belly issues for my daughter. I was in Columbus to meet a friend and googled gluten free bakery and this placed popped up. The staff member was very nice and helpful, explaining what was gluten free and preparation. I ordered 1/2 dozen donuts with various toppings. I got to my daughter's to share and on 1st bite our eyes grew wide and we both said "they aren't dense! They are light & airy!" They were sooo delicious!!! They are pricey (but what gluten free items isn't??!!!) but worth it to be eating a gf donut that tastes like a regular one. I highly recommend. I would not recommend for celiac because they do make "regular" flour donuts. We will be back!!!

Alexis Kozyk

We had a lovely outdoor lunch at the end of summer. I was pleasantly surprised by their gluten free pasta offerings. The calamari and spicy stuffed peppers were awesome. We will be back!

Ray Mansell

Went for dinner Saturday. It is BYOB so we brought a couple beers from 50 West, but I learned we should have brought a bottle of wine. That's a thing and almost every other table there had bottles of wine they brought. Started with the tots and 24 month aged parmesan. Had them hold the truffle oil. The tots were hot, crispy and there was quite a little of them. The aioli was great on the tots and the parmesan was an awesome compliment. I had a side of blue cheese cole slaw. It was really good - very tangy and creamy. It was the second time I've had blue cheese cole slaw and I'm going to get it whenever I see it on a menu. This was the first time I've been to a place and thought I could enjoy every single entree on the menu! I had the shrimp and grits entree. 6 large blackened shrimp with BBQ sauce on some tasty grits with whole pieces of corn and bacon. Excellent shrimp and grits. My wife had the fettuccini Alfredo pasta with fried shrimp and blue crab. She loved it, and I know why because I had a taste. The breading on the shrimp was so light you almost couldn't tell it was fried. She got the gluten-free carrot cake and I got the chocolate decadence. Here's was really good - mine blew me away. I don't usually get chocolate cake when I go places but the description sold me. It had layers of chocolate cake, chocolate brownie, chocolate mousse, and chocolate ganache. It was incredible! We also took home some special dessert items - tiramisu blossoms and macarons (espresso and I think raspberry). They really have great sweets here. I can't wait to go back and start trying all of the other entrees. Don't forget to call and get reservations. It's a small place so space is limited. We made the mistake of just showing up a few weeks ago and would have had to wait a couple hours. This time we made the reservation first. This is a new favorite place for us!

Reagen Powers

Great gluten free options. Dedicated fryer.

Lily Chase

As a celiac, this place is a dream. We got the Baja Breakfast Burritos and a vanilla iced latte and a mocha iced latte. Everything is delicious! The burrito ingredients were fresh. The mocha they used was the best we’ve ever tasted. Vanilla iced latte was not too strong, very good!! Would recommend to everyone!!

Robyn J

Purely Sweet Bakery is amazing! This is the best gluten free and dairy free bakery. We love the cinnamon rolls, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, coffee cake (my fave) and have had 2 custom order cakes for birthdays. I’m so happy we found Purely Sweet!

Brenda Aratani

I’ve ordered here a couple of times and the presentation, flavor, and cooked temperature is always on point! Staff really follows the ticket order. I love their gluten free bun.

Janna Rich

Nothing compares to the entire experience of dining at Jeff Ruby’s! I went with my family about a month ago and can’t wait to go back. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional and the food was fantastic. Our server, Patrick was awesome. They even accommodated my gluten intolerance and made some yummy mocktails since I don’t drink.

Shaun Arthurs

Smoked wings were phenomenal. Beer was cold and my wife's salad was really good too. Plenty of gluten free options. Highly recommend.

Emily Basham

My son and I love eating here - the food is delicious and celiac-safe! Added bonus that it's dairy free as well. Highly recommend!

Heather Coontz

I am not in downtown Akron often and needed something gluten free and discovered the delightful bakery. I had the sausage gravy and biscuits, it was delicious. I also appreciate the wonderful service I received. I will definitely stop here again.

Rachel Adamec

Amazing gluten-free goodies! Can’t wait to go back.
