That GF roll is SO GOOD!!!

Jennifer Stock

Came for Saturday brunch before a museum visit. Excellent service, a kitchen that is able to accommodate gluten-free diners, and delicious food.

Safe and Delicious for Celiacs!! David the waiter was awesome, attentive and receptive to my celiac disease and needs to avoid cross-contamination. Celiacs, you can eat out again. Great atmosphere as well.

Rahina Dean

The atmosphere is pretty nice. Food was good, I was told that everything was gluten free, but since I got home I’ve had hives and a stomach ache. Not sure if it’s food poisoning or gluten contamination, but might have to see a doctor. Be cautious if you have celiac. Update: no reply from the company. I did end up in the hospital. Would not recommend.

Luigi’s Pizza Fresca – A Fairmount Gem! If you're in the Fairmount area, Luigi’s Pizza Fresca is a must-visit! I had the pleasure of trying their Fresca Works pizza as well as a custom-built gluten-free pizza, and I was blown away. Gluten-free pizza can be hit or miss, but Luigi’s absolutely nails it. The crust is perfectly thin, yet strong enough to hold all the delicious cheese and sauce without getting soggy—a rare find. The Fresca Works pizza is also packed with flavor, a perfect choice if you want something hearty and balanced. I've tried many gluten-free pizzas, and this one easily ranks among the best. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you’ll find something to love here. Highly recommend giving it a try!

very knowledgeable and accommodating for celiac!

Great service and food. The spicy guacamole is delicious and the dirty veg tacos are great! Our favorite by far though was the mango Panna cotta paired with passionfruit sorbet. Amazing! The outside seating area is lovely! they also have lots of gluten-free options!

I say this was disappointment and want to preface I love the food here and always look forward to visiting, but the last 4 times I’ve visited I’ve had issues every time. The last time I’ve visited, again a lot of things they didn’t have, but the thing I did order (the waffles) I never actually got. I waited over 30 minutes and was given no update. The person I was with got their food within 15 minutes. I was looked at now and then (avoided weirdly enough) as I waited but no one told me anything. I go up and ask if there is any rough idea when my food would be ready when I’m told the oven for the waffles wasn’t working. Again, had I been told from the beginning this wouldn’t have been as big of an issue. So I ended up just canceling the order because I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes for my food. The results of my past visits have me not wanting to visit for a while, unsure if or when I’d go back. :( The first time they didn’t have the oat milk ice cream and other ingredients (multiple). No big deal, I just wish there was some note or posting somewhere to let me know ahead of time. Every time over the last 4 visits they didn’t have any gluten free bread or gluten free bagels. Now as someone who is allergic to gluten, my options for food were cut to a very small selection. Again, please post it somewhere so I know to wait to come back until I can actually order the foods I have visited to get.

I've been eating at Rybrew for the past several years - it is by far my favorite sandwich and bottle shop in Philly. A variety of vegetarian options, gluten free bread, and fresh soup every day which has never let me down. Their salads are a meal - even a traditional hoagie eater like me didn't mind eating my greens here! They have an excellent selection of beers/ciders for any palette, with rotating specials/deals/favorites to help guide you. Their baked goods are great, too. That carrot cake cupcake is well worth the calories.

Miranda Meyer

Literally the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. This is the only pizza place I go to now. Plus it's not overly expensive (especially for gluten free!!!)

Amy Ross

I love this place! I eat delicious gluten free meals (Celiac-Safe!) with just a simple phone call to the store after placing my order on the app. The staff is trained to understand cross-contamination and cross-contact as well as how to avoid it as much as possible. Today, I discovered my meal bag to be taken by another customer accidently > Honeygrow Staff immediately remembered making my order and without hesitation offered to remake my meal quickly and with care. Thanks Honeygrow Staff for your kindness and extra care. Thanks again, Aelyn, for your kindness.

amazing gf pizza

Thank you too Chante for making my experience a wonderful one. Love my Gluten Free Meat Eaters Pizza👍👍👍

Alyson Collins

Delicious place for brunch!!! Numerous gluten free options! Stopped here on a quick trip to Philadelphia and was not disappointed. I can’t remember the exact name of the dish, but it was amazing! I’m dreaming about this breakfast months later! The dish was a play on eggs Benedict and a breakfast hash. Everything was cooked well and seasoned just right! The blend of French and Lebanese cuisine is a beautiful paring! The cafe is small, but cozy. Everyone eating there was enjoying their food and were repeat customers. The service was friendly and timely. The server double checked about gluten-free items and I did not have any reactions. Street parking, but such a lovely walk.

Jessica Meehan

I’m not a big review gal but I think it’s important to show love to local businesses that are absolutely crushing it! I have had great experiences during pick up and ordering delivery with Wok Works. The food is amazing! Very fresh, tasty, and well sized meals. Pricing is very fair! I have a gluten allergy and often hesitate ordering out but they make it so easy to order. So happy to have this business in the area. Keep it up! 👍

One Shot Coffee in Philadelphia is a charming cafe that’s celebrated for its artfully-crafted coffee drinks and welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you’re there to relax and journal or to enjoy a casual meet-up, One Shot Coffee’s friendly staff and delicious offerings make it a standout in the city’s vibrant coffee scene.

Fabulous new go to spot! The atmosphere, service, food (including a tasty gluten-free menu) and energy of this place was incredible. Like I said on my way out the door today, this is now my official new go to spot in Northern Liberties!

Kaitlin Rizk

Very kind staff. Helpful with showing us gluten free options

Adrian De Jesus

Went here because I was told it's a staple of no libs. Food was amazing and their staff was down to earth, I didn't feel like I was being served rather I was one of their regulars. Go hungry and ready to take food home with you the portions are large. I'm def not vegan or gluten but I was surprised by the amount of options they had to accommodate that.

Sammie Schwartz

Best nachos I’ve ever had

enrique chacón

Food is fresh and very tasty; the presentation is exceptional. They have freshly ground masa to make homemade tortillas. Lots of gluten-free options. They have an amazing mezcal selection and great cocktails.

Anya Reiser

Super careful with cross contamination!

Serena Ringer

Great service, great music, amazing drinks, and an incredible gluten-free selection. A hidden gem we will be frequenting

Spectacular neighborhood coffee spot. Great coffee and vegan/gluten free cookies!

Hanna Christian

amazing staff and food. lots of gluten free options and they were willing to make some dishes gluten free as well!

Sarah Munson

Such a Philly Gem! My friend and I had a delightful dinner here on a Saturday. They were able to seat us even though we didn't make reservations. They have so many vegetarian options! The server was so attentive and knowledgable about the menu. They were able to attend to my dietary restrictions. They provided extra cucumbers to make the hummus gluten free! Restaurants like these make Philadelphia special!

Христя С

Lovely spaces indoors and outdoors. Menu with options for vegetarian, vegan & gluten-free diets. Well selected wines. Recommend the beet salad, grilled octopus, and seafood pasta. Efficient service. Relaxed meal in a nice atmosphere. Kudos!

Taigh Anderson

Amazing sandwiches, so much flavour! Gluten free options too :)

Brian Hacker

Had a wonderful brunch. I loved the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy. The side dish of quinoa potatoes with onions and peppers was amazing. The gluten free waffles were perfect. Highly recommend

Wow! A Celiac's dream for SAFE dining with so many available gluten free menu items. Very delicious food, drinks, and a super friendly, Celiac educated staff. I felt comfortable and excited choosing dishes prepared gluten free both times I've eaten here with family and friends. The beautiful blue corn Pancakes de Pinole topped with fresh fruit and a mug of rich spiced coffee have become a favorite for my weekend brunch! Staff was also willing to adjust meals that I wanted to try with gluten-containing ingredients and substitute with wheat, barly, and rye-free Celiac-Safe alternatives to ensure my safety and still enjoy items that would originally be off limits for me. Thanks Cantina La Martina. You are great!

Leanne M

Ate here for the first time and it was great! They have a large menu with so many choices of food to eat. Not much variety for vegetarian/vegan/gluten free but still better than most diners. The service is wonderful. Both the hostess and our waitress made us feel warm and at home. They have plenty of desserts to choose from that vary over time and the interior is fun!

Linda Diggs

I was particularly pleased with the vegetarian and, gluten free choices.

Lina Rush

Ok I am going to give them 5 even though they forgot to give me my Gluten Free bun, There is nothing like driving home and getting comfortable with family to eat a meal. Hard to enjoy my chicken sandwich when you have no bun. I called they were kind and they will provide me with a meal I just have to stop in another time.

Patricia Wooldridge

What a hidden gem! Fantastic service - from accomodating a last minute reservation for 18 people to the friendly and helpful wait staff. Accomodated special requests including gluten free pasta and sauce substitutions. Clean, great decor, comfortable seating plan. Glad we found this restaurant!

Rifka Miriam

Delicious and accommodating. A bit pricey for me but some nights you forget to plan ahead and this is your gluten free option.

Gaurav Jadhav

Good vegan and gluten free options. Would recommend the hobo hash and tofu scramble.

Medium-size cafe with very hip feel: vinyl records are sold right downstairs, and images of records are plastered around the walls. It seems more of a place to catch up with friends over studying / getting work done. Atmosphere: Came in at around 12pm, and felt on the louder, chattier side, although there were a few people inside doing work. The space was quite full, with maybe 2 or 3 tables still empty out of 10-12. Gave off a nice, "artsy, hipster" vibe to me. Food: I enjoyed the coffee here, and they provide gluten-free options for pastries. They servers were very friendly! Side note: The bathroom is very small and cramped! You can't really fit in much else other than yourself. Overall: 4 / 5 - good atmosphere to hang out with friends, and maybe check out some of the records downstairs, but probably not to go and do work.

Best buffalo wings in Philly, possibly all of PA. 10/10 Technically not gluten free if fried in a shared fryer but I’ve had no issues. Diet Coke 1/10

Peter Melgren

Great spot. Gluten free blackened chicken Alfredo is my wife's favorite and I get something different every time and have yet to be disappointed.

Ravi Shankar

The manager Kareem was very helpful Good vegan and gluten free food

Melissa Chedid

The spring rolls were delicious, the seafood pho was good. The fishballs have flour so if you are gluten-free you’d have to request to remove them. It’s BYOB. There is a $10 fee if you bring your own bottle, though.

We have used El Tlaloc for catering for our corporate holiday party. We had about 40 people with different food needs.We wanted to be very cautious of our staff with dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and various allergies. El Tlaloc was very helpful in providing food that would work for everyone. We had ordered guac, salsa, chips, steak tacos, vegan tacos, and chicken tacos. Everything was very delicious! Everyone at a party loved their food, and we had plenty of leftovers for the next day. I was happy that we went with them. Food was delivered promptly, staff was extremely nice, and answered every question I had. If you need great catering, go with them! You will not regret. I'm looking forward to work with them again in the future.

Hannah Feldman

Such a fantastic and cute coffee shop! They have classic coffee shop drinks as well as a few brunch-type menu items. The space is clean and there are plenty of tables to sit and eat or work at. They do carry gluten free bagels as well as have multiple vegan options. The food is really great, I recommend trying the cream cheeses. The staff is incredibly kind and the owner is a very sweet and welcoming lady. The space is very cute and welcoming. Go support this local coffee shop!

Tracci Quartermaine

I love Stockyard Sandwich my favorite sandwich is the Braised Beef $11.00 that sandwich would win a Michelin Star it is that good, try it, you will enjoy yourself, Stockyard is a clean restaurant, I love the hand made tables, the walls were hand painted, the atmosphere is is very comfortable, they serve gluten free, vegan food, and regular food, they close at 8:30 pm, you may eat in or take out, as for me Stockyard is one of the better restaurant's on 15th and Spring Garden.

Dev Rajhansa

Wonderful hidden gem! Happened by it quite serendipitously and had a wonderful time chatting with the manager and a new hire trainee! Teas were excellently crafted and brewed and the staff was very knowledgeable. Many gift options available, some nice appetizer types of grub that was yummy including BOTH dairy and gluten free options. In fact the GF flatbread was divine! Great atmosphere for a first date! I'll definitely be back!

I would go here every sunday with my mom and or friends and we would look forward to getting a coffee and baked good everytime. Very kind staff, very clean place & the best coffee. La columbe has a great atmosphere and great vibes. Also has gluten free options which is great because my mom is gluten free. Can’t wait to be back once they re open! My favorite coffee shop.

Kerry Carlson

Food: Good bar food with some healthy or healthy-adjacent options. Several vegetarian options, and gluten free is marked on the menu. BBQ platters are a good price. Drinks: Solid beer menu. Parking: There's a parking lot (yay!) in a part of town without a ton of parking. Kid-friendly: Kids' meals are $10 and include fries or apple slices. The pirate ship playground was a big hit with my kiddos. No wifi for the tablets, but this made up for by the play area. Kids came over, took a bite, ran away, came back, etc. there are 4-ish tables in the play area.

LaToya White

I’m gonna give this place 5 stars i came when they first opened cuz its located close to my house and i work from home but i had a very strange interaction with the staff that kept me away for a while. I’ve since been back and i don’t have that same weird interaction a second time, friendly greetings, good coffee and cookies. My favorite order is an oat milk latte and 2 chocolate chip cookies. The cookies are also gluten free if that matters to you.
