I am very gluten intolerant and didn’t realize Coldstone had an allergy protocol. I saw a cross contamination concern and spoke up. They identified my issue and immediately began fixing me a new dish in a contamination free place. I am very thankful to the 3 students working in there tonight!

I went years back when it first opened and was not too impressed by the dish I ordered, but I went back because I keep hearing friends saying good things about the food. I ordered the blueberry flatbread (appetizer), which I have to admit was divine. For the main course, I ordered the grain bowl with grilled salmon. It's something I could've made myself at home, but it's not that bad. The server was very attentive in making sure he got our orders correct. He was also quick to mention that they had a separate gluten-free menu as soon as he heard us requesting for gluten-free burger buns. He was also serving a group that was seated in the freezer room. The whole group must've doused themselves with copious amount of perfume, and the server was careful not to open the door to wide whenever he had to go in. I thought that was a very thoughtful gesture for other customers who would prefer to enjoy the aroma of the food they're eating. I would go back and try other stuff they have on the menu.

We ordered 3 pizzas on March 1st, 2021. Our order was online. It was a Murphy’s combo stuffed, a delete bacon chicken and artichoke, a gluten free pizza and a salad. The stuffed pizza I found a long hair baked into my pizza on the first slice and threw it away. The second slice I went and grabbed, had another long hair dangling from it when I went to pick it up. So disgusting!!! Our salad we got one packet of ranch for a big garden salad that feeds four. Seriously?! Do better!

This is one of a couple of my family's favorite restaurants in Manhattan. The food is always fantastic, and the employees/owners are very lovely. We have quite a variation in our diets amongst our family members, and this restaurant accommodates all of us. If you need vegan and/or gluten-free food, you will definitely find it here. They are always happy to answer any questions we have about the ingredients. Highly recommend Globe!

Very mom and pop, cozy feeling restaurant. Had a classic breakfast but added/ modified it. The food came out perfect and delicious. Also I like straight up black coffee and theirs is really good. We were able to modify one of the breakfast entries to make it gluten free for my son by adding the corn tortillas. Definitely would go back.

I have celiac disease, and I have eaten here twice. The food and the overall concept are great. They claim to be gluten friendly, but if you are celiac, I advise you to be weary. Cross contamination is highly probable at the sauce station (my waitress the first time I visited, was kind enough to offer to get my sauces fresh from the back to avoid contamination, my waiter on my second visit did not). The line cooks separate your food from others with spatulas and are supposed to use separate spatulas to cook and serve your food. During both of my visits, I had cooks who used the wrong spatulas to mix and serve my meal, guaranteeing cross contamination. The food tastes great, but it's not worth me feeling sick for 2 weeks because my food allergy wasn't properly respected.

We had a miscommunication with a person who was going to join us. So we ended up sitting at the table for 45 minutes before everyone showed up. The staff was fantastic as we waited. On a side note, if you have a gluten allergy. There is a chance of cross-contamination. That is something they told us up front. so we are greatly appreciative of that

They did well at working with my various food allergies but if you have celiac I'm not sure depending on how severe that this would be a good choice. If you have no allergies then it's a great reastrant, food is good and decent size portions. They were slammed graduation weekend but still good service.

This was our 1st time trying this newer restaurant. Due to food allergies, we're very cautious and don't eat out very often. The owners are wonderful! They took time to explain ingredients in different dishes and never seemed put out by our questions. They assisted us with our food allergy concerns and made sure that we didn't have anything containing or cross contaminated with gluten. Neither of us had even the slightest reaction or physical discomfort, so we know they were careful. They make their own chori! It doesn't have any unnecessary fillers and tasted great! I'd highly recommend trying it! We couldn't decide on drinks, so we went with the "margarita flight." We were not disappointed and look forward to ordering our favorite choices at our next visit. It's nice to know we can help support a small business and finally look forward to having date nights again that are not followed by pain and sickness. I REALLY wish I'd remembered to take pics of our plates!
