Celiac safe, gluten free, dedicated gluten free kitchen. This is an unexpected location but the Brazilian cheese bread is delicious. The owners are very kind, I went for their recommendation of the Brazilian sandwich- very crunchy in an unexpected way. I got a little bag of crunch breadsticks and a coke, the total was $17 and change. There are picnic tables outside to sit at and seating inside. I ate outside. Definitely will return next time I’m in the area- a breakfast sandwich with their bread would be phenomenal!

After hearing great things and seeing positive reviews of how they handle gluten and dairy free pizzas, we decided to give it a try. Even though we have very few choices of trustworthy restaurants in the area, I will not be returning here. The prices are outrageous…and I’m not even speaking of the extensive upcharges for gluten and dairy free options. $50 for 2 pepperoni pizzas (one gf/df)?! Absurd. Way too many pepperonis. Waitress did her minimal job and talked me out of sharing a gf pizza with my daughter because it was “about 10 inches”. It was the same size as the normal. My biggest complaint was the children’s birthday party taking place in the restaurant with screaming 6 year olds running around. The families, some of whom are connected to the restaurant, were oblivious to the fact that several other families were there. Expensive pizza. Terrible management of out of control children. Average service. Not for me. Won’t be back.

The OG of creameries. Worth the 45 minute car ride (each way) every time. Their ice cream is rich, natural, flavorful…so absolutely worth it. They serve black raspberry…real, not synthetic. Safe for Celiacs….let them know, they have protocols! Killer pup cups too!

We had a great experience at this café, especially thanks to Ralph’s suggestion of the gluten-free and dairy-free pizza. The pizza here was delicious! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. It’s so nice to find a place that caters to dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste. We’ll definitely be coming back!

An awesome find for those with specialty diets like myself, vegan & gluten-free. The vegan nachos were incredible and the burnt ends were so deliciously smokey. Couple the comfortable tavern atmosphere with a super friendly, knowledgeable & attentive staff and the Foundry gets two thumbs up and a polished clean plate with me looking forward to sharing this find with friends.

I strongly advise against dining at the Market Place restaurant due to their negligence resulting in my daughter falling severely ill. Despite informing the waitstaff about her celiac condition, they served her a gluten-containing dish, even after confirming twice that it was gluten-free. Additionally, they failed to deliver all the entrees to our table at the same time, 15 mins apart. The manager's insincere apology and a mere 30% discount on our bill were hardly satisfactory. If you prioritize food safety and adhering to allergy restrictions, I recommend avoiding this restaurant.

I've always enjoyed their sushi and they have a good grasp on what is and isn't gluten free. I usually get take out from here but their dining room is passant and comfortable. There is plenty of parking, though be careful in the winter as it can get icy.

What a gem! Delicious fresh food with gluten free options. The food came out steaming hot and the service was fast. You can see everything being freshly made. The atmosphere is inviting, I enjoyed the bug windows with views of grass and trees as we dined. I liked that there were had painted murals and welcoming art work on the walls. As soon as we sat down, we were served warm bread and salad. We ordered the chicken pesto sandwich, chicken wings, and meat sauce pasta ($20). All were delicious, the wings were crispy. Lovely experience.

Thanks to the wonderful team at Nouveau Monde, who made sure our party of 10 had a great dinner. One of us is both gluten free and vegan. We called ahead to let them know, and the chef went above and beyond to prepare a really delicious dinner that met his dietary needs. And the staff were terrific, as always. And the focaccia is amazing. We will be back. Thank you!!

Enjoyed a fun night of hibachi at Toro last night. The reason for writing this review is because I was really impressed by their handling of multiple food restrictions of 3 of the diners.We had a shellfish allergy, dairy (butter) allergy, and I am gluten free. They did it with ease and we weren't made to feel like a hassle. They made mine in the kitchen with GF soy sauce and even substituted rice noodles for the lo-mein noodles that are usually served. Thank you Toro.

Great Diner for Gluten Free Breakfast! On two separate days I enjoyed a great Corn Beef Hash and tasty omelette with gluten free toast. The waitress told me that they cook the GF food on a separate griddle. A classic old diner, worth the stop!
