Got the tofu banh mi, which was a first for me, only place I've found that does them gluten free. It was really, really good and everyone was super friendly. Food came out quickly, and the coffee was great.

The food is really good, and they're very good with dietary restrictions such as gluten. I consider this place celiac-safe.

I absolutely LOVED the vegan gluten-free baked goods my partner got for us from The Chunky Scones - so delicious, excellent texture & mouth feel, and easy to digest! Recently, we went while Simbiótico Coffee was there, and the oat milk latte was incredible. After stepping inside for the first time, I was impressed by how good everything smelled and the wide variety of food & goodies on display. The storefront is small, but cozy and efficient. The location is very convenient, on St. Johns Ave. just north of Roger Williams Ave., directly across from the "Ravinia Train Station North" parking lot. If it's not too busy, you can park in the metered lot for free (read the signs for restrictions). There's free street parking around the area, as well. It's a small location, but apparently they're really efficient so there's rarely a line. There are also a lot of cool shops and the nearby park is really nice (they occasionally have food trucks there in the summer), so it's worth a walkthrough. There are a few outdoor seats, and the park is very close, so I can walk my dog while my partner runs in for baked goodies. Everyone at The Chunky Scones is so friendly! I love the mega-chill vibe they have, and I'm so happy to see they're fans of lucha libre freestyle wrestling (they've even co-sponsored a vegan market with lucha libre performances featuring GALLI stars like Lince Dorado, Bandolero, Aramís, El Torero, Sexy Star II, Shazza McKenzie, Victor "El Sueño" Iniestra, and more). I look forward to my partner - who loves this place - bringing home more goodies from The Chunky Scone. If I'm in the area, I might also pop in occasionally for a treat. They like our dog, which is also cool!

We had a really good conference business lunch at Ordo Restaurant. The restaurant serves halal food with gluten free as well as vegetarian dishes. that is both traditional and authentic. Our entrees were tasty and prepared with the amount of heat we requested. The dining area is spotless and tastefully decorated, providing for nice ambiance. The service was both attentive and friendly. Their vegetarian dish Oromo is the best! We'll definitely return. Recommended soups: mushroom soup Recommended salads: eggplant salad and beet salad Recommended appetizers: Brussels sprouts and samsy Recommended main course: beef plov and manty Meat and fish: branzino and white fish and all of their kebabs Recommended desserts : napoleon and pistachio raspberry

Gluten free pizza was not good. When I used to eat wheat I liked their deep dish pizza though.

Great food, great service, and they have gluten free bagels! It can be a little pricey but the lox and bagel was worth it. It also has excellent coffee and a nice bakery counter. I’ll definitely come back here.

Delish and have gluten friendly options for lavash and pita bread. The shawarma was amazing and the combo is enough to feed several people. The beets and Moroccan carrots were divine!

Food is great, not too pricey. They have gluten free options (potatoes, pasta, salmon, chicken, steak) and were wonderful about being cautious for someone with nut allergies in our group.

I have celiac disease and even though they do not have a dedicated gluten free menu waiter worked with me to find good options. My salad was delicious and the rest of my friends who do not have dietary restrictions loved their respective choices as well. Although I couldn't find a good dessert options my friends thoroughly enjoyed theirs. Wish they would add a separate gluten free menu though
