Top 19 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Downtown Ithaca

It's a Mecca for vegetarians. Quality and atmosphere is quite good, though the prices have significantly risen and portions decreased lately. It's a must try if you are vegetarian, also one of the few places in Ithaca where you are guaranteed to get gluten free dishes if you are allergic. Also most of their famous cookbooks are available for sale at the entrance. For most people it's a good but somewhat overpriced choice.

Excellent gluten free options. The Kip was phenomenal!

The steak is very good, the gluten free bread is very tasty, the service is very good.

Went there for gluten free options. I will not go back because of the price (10 dollar for a taco) but the tastes are very good. Their music is good too but can be hard to hear over other loud customers. They charge you an extra 18% automatically but the server will tell you to tip because that 18% extra charge is not for the tip.

Love their Sangria. Nice to get your drink at the bar while you are waiting for your table. They are able to serve Gluten Free entries. Too bad, the tortilla chips aren't fried in a dedicated GF fryer. Had to skip the chips and salsa.

Military & Healthcare Discount! Great food and lots of options for adults and kids. We went on Father's Day and was there 10 minutes before they opened, but the owner still let us come in and get started. Kids age 11 & 14 both easily found something. Great fruit cobbler for dessert. All food had a good presentation and taste. Gluten-free buns available as up charge. The mushroom sandwich was good. Did not know what to expect of it, but good. Chicken nuggets are like chicken bites, but very soft. Lots of options besides fries, including tots and sweet potato fries. Like much of this area, parking is in a paid garage. Walk about a block.

Really good coffee and baked goods as well as sandwiches. They also offer gluten free and vegan options as well. Fun little spot. Would go back.

Good food! They offer vegan options as well. They mention gluten free options, but it is mostly turning the sub into a loaded salad. Most of the tables are set up outside, but there are a few spots inside to eat. Eating outside allows you to enjoy Ithaca’s unique downtown area. If you enjoy subs, soup, and salad then this is a good place to try out.

Great experience and food was delicious. Very accommodating to my gluten allergy. If you want the gluten free bread, you must call ahead. They do use the same equipment to cook the gluten free injera with the normal one, but they clean it in between. I opted out of the injera to be safe, but the food is delicious. The avocado salad was spicy and a great starter. The meats were flavorful and juicy. The lentils were spiced to perfection. The food doesn’t really match the dated/sparse interior, but it’s delicious and makes up for the space.

Love the concept and love the food! Everyone was amazing and the food even moreso, the blueberry coconut lemonade was the best! Also the portions are huge! My sister had the chicken and waffles and it was fantastic. The menus are labeled so you can see what's vegan and gluten-free and what's locally sourced. Definitely appreciate being able to support the local farmers. Also, all ordering was done via an iPad at the table to limit contact. Every table was sanitized and they observed the social distancing rules. I highly recommend it and next time I'm in Ithaca I'm stopping by.

Great food and drinks. Kitties are adorable! Such a fun place and kid friendly. Vegan and gluten free options, kids play area, changing station in bathroom, two cat rooms

Top quality Japanese food. Service and food preparation is super fast! Restaurant interior is very homely and simplistic with beautiful wall decor. Food was extremely flavorful and succulent. Plenty of options for vegetarian/gluten-free folks. Only issue is that it seems understaffed; our waitress was running around and seemingly overworked, with her kids helping out a bit. She forgot one of our entrees, but we did have a large group with a complex order, so it was understandable. With more waiters, more patrons can be served faster. Overall highly recommended, and if I were around the area, I would come much more frequently.

So happy to see gluten free and vegan options. I am new to this diet and was stunned at how delicious the food was. The staff were lovely and everyone seemed to be having a great time and getting along well. Can’t wait to try more of their menu options.

Awesome gluten free pizza!!! Great wings. The owner delivered to me at work. Great service!!! I’m a regular from now on.

We had a very nice gluten-free meal here.

Ordered pad thai. I asked if their dish was gluten free and was assured that it was in fact GF. I did not have a reaction and the meal was very tasty. Not sure if they omitted a sauce to accommodate my request but certainly ask if you're concerned and they'll take care of you. I wish more places would denote on their menus which items can be made or are made with this allergen in mind. Thank you again Thai Basil

This place is new in town and has something for everyone! Gluten free or vegan, doesn’t matter he’s got the hookup. There is plenty of seating outside and also inside upstairs. We walked in and ordered on the kiosk, it was user friendly and easy to pay on. Food is made to order so it took about 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. While I was waiting I tried a slice of chicken bacon ranch pizza and it was Amazing. We will definitely be back!
