This is the best vegan and gluten free food in Portland! Please open another location in SE!! I’d be here every day if it was closer.

Owners are wonderful. Messaged with owner Deepak. Made sure my concerns were addressed regarding gluten cross contamination. I wish this restaurant was in Seattle.

Gluten free heaven -- imagine a scoop of GF cookie dough ice cream on a GF cone! Magical ✨

I got bugolgi beef and it was good, the bowl was big. Their miso soup is aromatic. I loved their cheese and corn, because who doesn’t love cheese and corn? First time in my life having corn tea and it’s going to be my thing from now on. So grateful this place introduced me to corn tea. Also cookie points for being gluten free so that my partner can eat here with me :)

Cian Montgomery

Great pizza, gluten free crust is good.

Aria

Absolutely delicious!! Like wow what a damn delight! So fresh and so good, wish I could eat here every day. Gluten free and dairy free for the sensitive tummies. The food tastes soooo good and at prices the average folk can afford, really a unicorn of a combination. Cute and welcoming space that has room and enthusiasm for children, amazing chef busting butt in a hot kitchen, menu has apps and meals so you can get a little or a lot. Opted for the queso and hoooboy it was perfection, just a little heat with flavor that makes you say “I can’t believe it’s vegan!”

Super friendly and cute place. Gluten friendly but NOT Celiac friendly. I got sick off of it but mostly cross contamination. Good food and great atmosphere otherwise!

This place has it all! Abundant coffee choices, so many delicious pastry and cookie choices including gluten free, seating for groups and singles, adorable atmosphere, convenient location, friendly baristas!

Paul Johnson

The best tasting, most generously topped pizza in the city. Their gluten-free pie is to die for. Excellent beer snd wine choices, and as always, the same dedicated staff doing a great job, every time.

Adorable shop with AMAZING customizable cinnamon rolls and gluten free options. I’m already dreaming up my next cinnamon roll topping combination.

Owner operated and delicious food .we were visiting portland and amazed by the test of the food . The 100% gluten free teff Enjera is amazingly lemelem (ለምለም ) as we call it back home . I loved the Dulet kitefo, and my friend liked both the juicy lamb tibes and the fish .we had lunch for 3 days in a row and that speaks volumes. Nicely spiced and cooked. The owner also offered us to test a wine made by one of their own. Which was organic and smooth. Give it a try if you are in portland area and you will never be disappointed. The sign from outside may look a little old ( fading) . But inside is completely different atmosphere and service, I witnessed a significant amount of locals coming to the restaurant for lunch and dinner. Keep up the good job . Hop to see you again . 🙏

This place has delicious gluten free vegan burgers, onion rings, and curly fries! I had the most satisfying lunch. I highly recommend their house made black bean patty. So yummy!

I keep walking by this spot and I finally went in to grab some of their brunch sandwiches to go. They had a really solid gluten free option for my partner and we liked it so much we went back for dinner! The empanadas were incredible and so many bonus points for the gluten free options. Will definitely be back!

Julie Barnett

Decent gluten free pizza. The crust was very overdone. The GF/keto peanut butter chocolate protein bar was amszing

This is our local go to spot! Celiac friendly, quality food, great service. Highly recommend!

Jenna Lee

Kind staff, very yummy food and easy to eat gluten free and vegan! We went for lunch and it was quite cold inside (felt like the heat wasn't on at all), but otherwise it was great and we will definitely be back.

Kathy Joyner

A great place for gluten free/dairy free treats

Josh Forkner

I love arancini and I hadn't come across it from a truck yet and he delivered. And gluten free. I couldn't say no. 3 sauces, all awesome.

Melanie Sullivan

a little pricey, but a good serving size. the selections were great and they even provided a gluten-free breaded chicken option, which was really good in the Caesar salad.

J BB

I love Burgerville. It's always one of our favorite go to places while in Portland. I love that they have gluten free options and the kids are always happy to go too!

Nicholas Hansen

Enjoyed dinner while in the area from out of town. Typical Thai restaurant. Easy to miss when driving by as there are 2 trees blocking it from the road. Street parking available down the block. Food was great and portions were huge! Service was friendly and fast. We ordered drunken noodles along with the cashew chicken. They can make almost everything gluten free which is a huge plus. This is a pretty close rival to our favorite Thai place back home.

Kara Cooper

Food is great but ordering is annoying. You have to do it virtually. You can’t ask questions very easily and the dietary restrictions aren’t easily identified, filtered or something you can ask easily either. It seems they are short staffed and very busy so it can be difficult to get a person to talk to you or help you. There’s also no trashcan, which is confusing and you can’t reach the utensils for to go orders yourself. I find it frustrating to order there, but the food really is very delicious. I’ve been there a few times and there are a lot of options for dairy and gluten-free people.

Suzannah Sutton

Delicious gluten free options

Kara Cooper

Great food and smoothies. Lots of options for dairy free, gluten free, vegan and vegetarian people.

C. wall

Best Breakfast Ever. I am tempted to move to Portland just so that I can eat here every day. The sweet potato pancake was mmmmm so yummy. Our server Shane was super pleasant and made some excellent gluten-free free suggestions.

Jason Starman

Great selection of tamales and tons of gluten free options.

We ordered the Rovente Vegetarian and Herbivore Delite pizzas for dinner Sunday late afternoon. The pizzas were excellent! The crust was medium (not thick or thin) with good gluten (a bit stretchy), good taste, and not greasy or soggy. The toppings were full and fresh, especially the artichoke and zucchini. The balance of sauce and cheese was perfect and not overdone. We attempted to order online, but after entering credit card details we received a message that the system was down and we should contact the store. Calling in the order was quick and easy. We were told the pizzas would be ready in 20 minutes, but we had to wait an extra 5-10 minutes as the pizzas came fresh from the oven. Service was friendly. There were no other customers in the store.

Jennifer Johnston

Love the breakfast sandwiches! Gluten free bread option also!

kaitii bandura

Delicious options for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans. They also have gluten-free bread from New Cascadia!

Logan Gore

One of my all time favorite food cart pods in all of Portland! Something for everyone! Meat, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, you name it, you can prob find something to eat here!

Melissa Dasaro

Outstanding food! The cook is wonderful and helpful about what is gluten free! The portion sizes are very large but you will not want your stop eating them! We were certain we wanted to come here after the ear piercing. So, we had called the night before and found out most of their food is gluten free except the gumbo. My husband is gluten free so I had the Trinity gumbo. He had the red beans and rice. Hands down some of the best we have had! I would recommend to anyone looking for Cajun in PDX. My husband was told about this spot from a coworker and we looked it up. We love Cajun food, so it was a must try. We would go back in a heartbeat. If you have a good allergy, call them and they know all of their ingredients/spices well to aide you. I can’t wait to go back!

Sarrah Duncan

Gluten free dough could change. To sugary. But I still love this place and am glad to have an option!

Tauri Harrison

Had a late Lunch with my Daughter here, she had the Mushroom Marsala with gluten free pasta and chicken and it was Wonderful! I had the Fettucini Alfredo with Walnut pesto and it too was Divine! Great little spot!

KL

This place had a really good burger 🍔 which surprised me with all the vegan/gluten options available here - my GF got the chicken sandwich and gave me a bite - it was great, I will definitely eat here again 😋

Veruca Salt

Luis and his crew are amazing! Quality fresh food, he was extra cautious about my celiac disease and went above and beyond. Potato and cheese taquitios with avocado sauce were delicious and the pastor burrito bowl is *chef's kiss*. We will definitely be back anytime we are in town.

Sarah Dunn

I was warmly welcomed by Hollace and her associate at the counter. I was inquiring about gluten free options and was navigated in a positive and patient manner. Fantastic customer service and wonderful menu options !!! I will be back often!

Jessica Beers

Native Bowl is a must-visit food cart! The food is absolutely amazing, with high-quality vegan options and plenty of gluten-free choices to cater to everyone. I've tried most of their bowls and can confidently say you can't go wrong with any of them. Each bowl is packed with delicious flavors and topped with their signature yummy sauces that really set them apart. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving tasty, plant-based meals!

Elodi Attwilde

This place is incredible. The prices are very reasonable for the great quality food. There are several dairy and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. I recommend highly. The dishes are varied and not the usual.

Michael Hidalgo

Dog friendly, order at the counter with a fun if unique atmosphere (cartoon wonderland with just a . . .hint of happy tree friends) burgers with gluten free options and frozen treats

Augustina Elizabeth (#lifeofauggie)

They have a lot of gluten-free options on the menu which is great! I had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. They had a really good cocktail menu and the portions were very generous.

Michelle

Love Amanda and her crew at Grindhouse Coffee in North Portland. They have something for everyone. From gluten free cookies to the veggie and egg cups. The coffee is always amazing and the food is delicious and consistently good! ❤️

Step aside, flavorless dinners! 🥘🚫 The delightful E'Njoni cafe has danced its way into my heart with a symphony of Ethiopian delights. Their bountiful veggie feast had me dancing the injera waltz with every scrumptious bite. Who knew ten veggies could tango on my taste buds so harmoniously? 🌶🍅🌽 The owners are the ultimate culinary matchmakers, pairing kind hospitality with every request, question, and special need. If service were a veggie, they'd be a perfect ten! Now, let's raise a glass to the gluten-free injera, pride of the menu! 🌾🙌 Fear not, gluten-sensitive foodies; this menu has your back (and stomach) covered. Between bites, we marveled at the mesmerizing art pieces gracing the walls. If only every restaurant had such an eclectic gallery to entertain our eyes while our mouths savored the cuisine. In short, dining at E'Njoni cafe is like attending the most flavorful family reunion ever: welcoming, flavorful, and endlessly delightful. My taste buds give it a well-deserved standing ovation! 👏🍍🥗

Kara Cooper

I got the asada plate and margarita. My husband got a burrito and horchata. We both were very satisfied. This place has kind service, isn’t too busy and has fun decor saturating it from head to toe. It’s also got plenty of gluten or dairy free options along with vegan.

Colin Grier

Louie's is a gem in St Johns. Of course there's lots of pizza in St Johns, but Louie's is the best old school tasty version of the bunch. Prices are great, service awesome, and the place has a welcoming non-pretentious vibe. The pizza is delicious the next day for breakfast too. Oh and their gluten free crust is the best I've had. Give 'em your business!

Loree Leonard (Beerbabe)

Great sports bar!! It is set up so you order at the bar. Food is then delivered to your table. Very organized and quick, perfect before U of P events. Pub food options with a bit of flair, homemade condiments. Vegi options and gluten-free are available. Daily food and drink specials are always worth trying🤗. Service is great, even put womens sports on the screens, when requested. Parking is a bit challenging, but usually can find an on the street spot. Has become our go-to before games.

Carolyn Delgado

We LOVED this place! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff are so wonderful and kind. I love all of the accommodations available for vegan and gluten free diets, and had one of the best breakfast sandwiches and matcha lattes ever. We will definitely return whenever we’re in town.
