Top 14 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in New Hope

Vineet Chander

I’ve been to V-SPOT a few times now and I really, really want to like it. I love supporting 100% vegan places and, on paper, this looked like a great find. But it is overpriced, the food is hit-or-mix, and they are ridiculously inflexible. Here’s the good, bad, and the ugly from my last visit (Mother’s Day weekend brunch): The good: my dish (a vegan take on eggs benedict) was excellent, and my mother’s Tex-Mex style scrambled tofu was also quite good. The ambiance was great; we sat outside and it was a lovely day to soak in the sunshine, enjoy the breeze, and take in some people-watching on the bustling Main Street. The bad: my daughter ordered the brunch-special crepe for her entree…. At $24, we expected a nice big crepe, with plenty of decadent toppings and nice sides like fresh cut fruits, compote, etc. What she got was a tiny crepe with vegan whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Our local crepe place has ONE vegan and gluten free option and it’s still better than this overpriced dud. My wife’s ban-mih was so bland and flavorless that it should’ve called a ban-mid or a ban-meh. (To add insult to injury, Sprig and Vine — located two minutes away — serves the best vegan ban-mih I’ve ever eaten.) Bottom-line: for food that is this overpriced, it is unacceptable that half of the dishes we ordered were mediocre. The ugly: the brunch price was advertised as included one glass of champagne (“two of you ask nicely” said the menu) per person. Nobody in my family drinks alcohol, so we politely asked if they could replace the champagne with literally any other drink so that we could also have the experience of a fun MD brunch beverage. Literally anything— juice, sparkling cider, even seltzer. They refused saying “we don’t allow for substitutions”. When I tried explaining the situation, they again just reiterated (like a robot): we can’t do substitutions. They “helpfully” pointed us towards their iced coffee offerings and mocktail menu and told us we could order something from there (gee thanks for pointing out that I could order something on your menu); we got coffees while my mom ordered a $12 mocktail. It was Mother’s Day— they could have easily said, “since you are not having the champagne, we’ll just comp HER drink…” That could have been a thoughtful gesture and showed some human understanding. Nope. They could have brought us out some apple juice, or heck even some bubbly mineral water, in the champagne glasses. Nope. A comped slice of cake for dessert? Nope. Nothing. No offer to do anything and no flexibility. By the end of the meal, I was so annoyed that I decided — on principle — to have the champagnes that were supposed to be included in our brunch sent to other patrons so that we could at least have the satisfaction of someone enjoying them. I spied a table of two older couples who didn’t seem to have ordered the brunch special, and asked our server to deliver our champagnes to them with our compliments. Guess what? No dice. She said that they couldn’t do that either, citing some policy about not sending alcohol to other people’s tables. And then, the kicker— she says to me: “Don’t worry, sir. I can assure you that we won’t let the champagne go to waste.” Ohhhhh, I’m so happy to find out that the champagne I PAID FOR as part of my meal will be dutifully used (resold) to other patrons of the restaurant. Whew, what a relief! (I was actually tempted to ask her to bring the champagne to our table and then have her watch me as I poured each glass down into the flowerbed near our table… But even I couldn’t muster up that much pettiness.) The verdict: we probably won’t return. There are better vegan places nearby. I could forgive the overpricing were it not for the inflexibility and lack of awareness around customer service.

Went to Little Radish-everything on the menu is gluten free and there were so many options. I had the tuna wrap with pickled onions..AMAZING. My non-gf bf had chicken salad panini and he loved it. Owner was very nice

I went here while waiting for my car to be worked on. Waitress was absolutely great. I said I had celiac and she told me they have gluten free bread. That was a great surprise. She allowed me to sit as long as I wanted while waiting for my car to be done. Food was delicious and service was absolutely great!!! Highly recommended this place!!!

A Burger Haven with Jazz Vibes I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Burgerly, and let me tell you, it’s a burger paradise! Located in charming New Hope, NJ, this spot offers an array of mouthwatering burgers, including gluten-free bun options. Here’s my take on the experience: Burger Variety: The menu boasts an impressive selection of burgers, all made with double patties. Plus, you can customize your burger to your heart’s content. Salmon BLT Burger: I opted for the Salmon BLT Burger on a gluten-free bun, and it was a revelation. The combination of salmon, thick bacon, and juicy tomatoes was a symphony of flavors. And yes, the bun held up beautifully! Other Meat Burgers: My dining companions raved about their choices too, every bite was a delight. French Fries: Now, let’s talk about those fries. The French fries were perfection—crispy, generously portioned, and addictive. Ambiance: The restaurant exudes a New Orleans jazz vibe. Picture warm colors, cozy seats, and lively energy. It’s the kind of place where you can kick back, enjoy good food, and soak in the atmosphere. Funk and Jazz Music: As if that weren’t enough, the awesome Funk and Jazz music playing in the background elevated the whole experience. In summary, The Burgerly is a burger joint that takes its craft seriously. Whether you’re a burger aficionado or just looking for a memorable meal, this place delivers. So, gather your friends, tap your toes to the music, and savor those juicy burgers—it’s a commitment you won’t regret!

Our Favorite place in New Hope. Great food, friendly service. Multiple vegetarian and Gluten Free options. We stop here every time we are in the area.

Drinks were delicious. The food was terrible. Management needs to oversee the quality of what is being offered and needs to update the menu to reflect accurate gluten free options. The menu was lackluster and food was overpriced. The tiny piece of salmon we were served was overcooked. PEI mussels were small, shriveled and not fresh. When the server finally checked and asked how our food was, we told her not good. We had eaten most of our meal by then . Katy, the manager, had an attitude and clearly felt that the food was fine and satisfactory because we ate it. In retrospect, we should have flagged down our server immediately. The place was dark and dreary. Eating out is expensive. Don’t waste your money here. Eat somewhere else.

The food and service is always so good! Great date night ambiance. And, really delicious gluten free options and very accommodating. Highly recommend Earl’s!

Really great, well Cooked food. Never had something there I didn’t like. Also the owner is very nice & accommodating. I have a food allergy (gluten) & usually cross contamination is an issue i run into at restaurants but here the cooking practices are very clean & when they say a dish is safe to eat it always is. If I could give more than 5 stars I would !

Always a family favorite. The kids love the dumplings. They have a ton of gluten free options including GF general TSO! Incredible. We are regulars and will continue to be. Their online app is very easy to use also
