Visiting the Copenhagen Café in Tarpon Springs, was such an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff provided top notch service, making me feel warmly welcomed. Amazing coffee and wonderful selection on a very diverse menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see vegan and gluten free choices. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it clear why locals frequent this charming spot regularly. This is a must visit destination in Tarpon Springs. I will certainly be back.

We're always looking for GLUTEN FRIENDLY restaurants because of food allergies. So I'm happy to report that Johnny Grits offers GF pancakes and Belgian waffles! It is awesome; but beware, they both have milk ingredients, so they're not entirely allergy friendly. Additionally, I want to commend them for not mixing pancake batter into their omelets like IHOP does, because that makes even more GF menu options. We visited Johnny Grits for the first time today, while on vacation from out of town. The new manager made a point of introducing herself to us. She's sweet and seems very involved. The rest of the staff was pretty attentive as well. The place seemed really popular. It was very busy, and it's not a large place, so I appreciate the outdoor seating option. I'm sure we'll go back during our trip.

Absolutely blown away by this new menu! Excellent flavors! Started with the ahi tuna - delicious and they were able to modify it to make it gluten free! Moved onto the beet and goat cheese salad. This is actually meant to be a dinner salad, but I just couldn’t resist, so I had only half to ensure there was enough room for the main course! The flavors were so well balanced and enticing I wanted to eat the whole thing! Onto the main course- I went for the swordfish. Perfectly seasoned and cooked! And make sure to get those brussel sprouts! They just exploded with flavor! For dessert- crème brulee. Your waist line may object, but your tastebuds will swoon!! I can not wait to return and try more of the new offerings!

Good food but not safe for individuals who cannot eat gluten. We let our server know that my daughter cannot eat gluten and unfortunately she was "glutened". Our server did say something obnoxious when we said she had an allergy.

Excellent service, incredible food and amazing gluten free options which is a bonus for me!

We had a wonderful meal and drinks at The Bistro. We especially loved that they have an extensive gluten free menu. Melissa was our server and is hilarious, we ended the night by signing our check with a “this idea is garbage” pen.

Nice pizza/Greek (?) Spot in tarpon springs. 4 of us without reservations were sat immediately at around 12 noon on a Thursday. Service was great. Prompt and attentive. Order was taken and delivered accurately. Pizza was ok. I'm pretty sure it was par baked frozen premade crust, topped and baked to order. But, it could have been formed with a press. Not entirely sure. Good and plentiful cheese and decent tomato sauce. Crust was similar to a sourdough flavor with a crisp texture similar to Home Run. Not bad at all. 6.5/10 pizza. Interestingly, they had gluten free pizza options. Friend said it was great and she finished a 10" pie, so apparently she enjoyed it.

Nice little gem on Tarpon Springs for dinner. Authentic Italian food and decor. Staff was very friendly and our waitress was attentive. I had the Chicken Francese with tangy lemon a white wine sauce, and my husband had a seafood pasta special. It was a pleasant surprise to find gluten free pasta as an option. Best Italian dinner we have had since moving to the area a year ago. Prices fair too. We will be back again!

Need to be more knowledgeable on gluten sensativies. Was assured the Greek salad was gluten free. However, I had an allergic reaction. The Octopus was delicious and my family enjoyed their food. Would recommend them, but just be cautious if you have allergies to certain foods.

Ordered 2 large pizzas, one gluten free pizza, 24 garlic parm and 6 garlic teriyaki wings. Total bill 101.79 to a local establishment I supported many of times . Ordered several times for pick up and never an issue. I believe the last order 9/4/21 was a pizza and garlic parm wings which were so crispy I was excited to ordered again. Today wings were horrible! The garlic parm were soggy and one bite into teriyaki it was not cooked all the way. I called and I did say I was putting them in my oven to further cook and wanted to let them know how disappointed we were. I first was told it’s because they sit in styrofoam they get soggy. She put me on long hold. Second person said no this is not the case but perhaps next time tell them I was well done (never did before). Neither of these 2 said it was store policy we needed to bring food back. Later in evening received a voicemail from Donna the manager stating they were wrong. There will be no refund. It’s thier policy food needs to come back. I advised store policy is not posted on website. She didn’t want to hear that the wings were soggy and undercooked and stated $40.00 is a lot of money and cannot refund. My $100 hard earned money she didn’t care about. I was advised the wings are cooked twice so impossible for them to be uncooked. Well they were. I told her they lost our business and I wanted the name of the owner. Her reply was they have thousands of customers so it doesn’t matter and she was not allowed to give owner name. It’s sad because I see within the last 3 months negative reviews. I should have taken photos before we threw them out to post here No way to run a business !

Fantastic place! They were extremely helpful pointing out what my wife, who is gluten-free and dairy-free, could order. We definitely be back.

Based on other reviews I ordered the Greek Chow Mein which is a house specialty. It was good, the tomato sauce was an interesting combination but overall it was enjoyable. The Greek side salad was a big portion and delicious. The chicken on the skewers we ordered was perfectly grilled. I have celiac so I was looking for gluten free options. Nothing was marked GF on the menu but the waitress did give me some suggestions. I was a little disappointed that we ordered the cheese for the table that they light on fire and when I asked if it had flour she said it did. When we were leaving another server told us it can be made without the flour (so I could have eaten it), so we wished our server had thought to offer that option. Overall though it was a great dinner and everyone enjoyed what they ate , prices were reasonable and portions were decent.

The cook goes over and beyond to cater to me being gluten free.

I went here Friday and had a lovely experience. First I have to say how amazing the customer service was. The cashier was so helpful and kind. She let me try 2 of the dips since I was indecisive. They even cut up cucumbers for me, instead of pita since I don’t eat gluten. The food was so yummy!! I especially loved the humus. I’ll definitely be back!!

The coffee was amazing and refreshing! The barista was so nice and willing to answer any questions! (They have some Greek style coffee i personally have never tried or seen before). Also willing to customize as much as you would like for sweetness and milk alternatives. They also had gluten free food options. The shop it’s self is so clean and welcoming. I love the furniture and small design/decor details. They also have some outdoor seating and merch for sale.
