100% GF restaurant!

This is hands down one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The quality of the espresso and milk are incredible. I ordered whole cows milk and my husband ordered the macadamia milk latte. Both very good. Don’t miss out on all their gluten free pastries and GF quiches. First day we tried the broccoli and feta quiche & mushroom bell pepper. Both gluten free but couldn’t tell. We came back the next day to order another latte and tried the GF blueberry scone. Again, couldn’t tell the difference of gluten free or regular. They also have a little water statin to pour your own cup. I wish they had a coffee shop like this in San Diego. Highly recommend this place.

Such good huge tacos! My husband and I got 3 and shared them and it was the perfect amount.

Stacey Mehl

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Jennifer Maltby

My husband got the regular cinnamon roll and I got the gluten free with the cream cheese frosting added on the side. They were so yummy! Gf cinnamon rolls are often a disappointment but these were so good, we went back later the same afternoon and picked up 3 more gf ones to go to have for breakfast on other mornings. The lady that makes the gf rolls is so sweet! Thank you for such a wonderful treat!

Bethany Flickinger

Gluten free pizza is expensive but so delicious!

Andrea James

First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.” It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu. Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.

Merissa Peil

Best fish tacos ever! We ate here multiple times on our trip! Highly recommend!

Aidan S

My wife and I came here on a whim and we were super impressed! The staff was super friendly and super accommodating for my wife's gluten intolerance (she has celiac). We got fried pickles which were so tasty and well portioned. We also got the spicy poke bowl and the fresh fish bowl. Our server made sure both the dishes were gluten free for us! Can't recommend this place enough!

Nicolette Shipley

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

Cait Foster

After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai

HikariSuk

The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.

Jeremy West

Excellent service. Excellent Gluten Free help and options.

Nicole Sandoval

Had a very pleasant experience having dinner here. Our waitress was so sweet, and the lake view from the back patio was gorgeous. The food was amazing and affordable compared to other places in the area. Situated near cute shops. Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options available as well. We got the sourdough grilled cheese with tomato bisque, chicken and rib meal, and the chocolate torte. The fresh vegetables side was so good. Highly recommend:)

Dave Whitaker

Great spot for sushi. Just needs a few more options for gluten free. All in all a great experience nonetheless.

Aubrey Ledyard

Absolutely delicious! Loved this place for its great sushi, gluten free options, and cute atmosphere. Definitely recommend for gluten free!

Megan Fisher

Five stars isn't enough - our experience here was truly exceptional! The gluten-free options were plentiful, and our waiter intuitively knew to bring my husband gluten-free starters without us even asking. The view was breathtaking, the atmosphere was lively and fun, and the live music added the perfect touch. The food was outstanding, and we left feeling thrilled with our choice

dcDalton

Well to be honest, Cool Cat Cafe wasn't so cool for me. The waiter came to the table, we talked about the menu, ordered some drinks, then he left. Maybe 15-20 minutes later he came to get our food order. He was apologetic for the delay. Another person delivered the order, and I asked her to confirm that my burger had a gluten free bun on it. She didn't know so she went and asked our waiter. Our waiter came apologizing that the wrong bun was used. So back it went. In the end, my wife and I weren't too thrilled with our $68 meal.

If you're a celiac visiting Maui, rest assured that this is a safe breakfast stop for you with many gluten free options! The owners are kind people who take celiac disease very seriously and are able to provide quality breakfasts that fueled several days of hiking and snorkeling for me!

Trisha Hariani

Lots of gluten free options!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Oonagh Knott

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

Chrystal Drinkwater

Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎

Kate Richardson

I’ve eaten here twice and had no issues. There is a separate GF menu so ask for it at the front. I had the shrimp skewers and Hawaiian ono with no symptoms afterwards.

John Slaughter

By far the best gluten free burger I have had in my entire life. I've been celiac for 7 years and I'm always been in the search for a burger that is unrecognizable from gluten burger--and the Kevin burger is it. The meat is local and grass fed and finished, the toppings are all locally procured and that quality comes through. Highly recommend for any celiac or gluten free people or anyone that appreciates a burger with quality ingredients.

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful gluten free food choices including an incredible dessert! A great treat!

Cecilee Romano

This place is amazing! There were gaming stations with all kinds of platforms like NES, Switch, and more. I ordered a gluten free vegan pizza, and my husband got a custom pizza and a salad, and we both got drinks. The food was SO GOOD. We took it to a park and ate outside. It was fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. Big portions as well! We had leftovers for midnight snacking. The cashier was super friendly and helpful too. It’s not cheap, but it was definitely worth the price. We played games while we waited for food, and it was really fun. Will absolutely come back on our next trip!

Michelle Ruth

This was fun! Great for kids! And they have gluten free batter option for the pancakes which is great!

Rebecca Sorgini

So good!! I am celiac which means I am gluten-free and I must also avoid cross contamination. This restaurant not only served me fries from a dedicated fryer, but I also enjoyed the crispiest, most delicious roasted chicken I have had in a long time. Cashier was knowledgeable about celiac, and they changed their gloves and everything while preparing my meal. Also, good prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Wonderful! Would definitely recommend not just for celiacs but anyone who wants a delicious meal.

Nadine

I almost cried eating here the first time. I haven’t had fried rice in so many years and finding it so delicious and gluten-free on my vacation. I have to admit I have been there 3 times in not even a week… Staff is very friendly, portions almost too much but perfect after a long hike and the price is phenomenal. 17$ for this portion

A B

Love this place. Plenty of good gluten free options that are clearly labeled on the menu. The macadamia crusted mahi is amazing and so is the chowder. On my last visit, they had a promotion where they would match up to $50 off your meal if you donated to the Hawaii food bank.

Ashley London

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at P.F. Chang’s Honolulu thanks to our amazing waitress, Carlie. My son has celiac disease and has to eat strictly gluten free, which can often make dining out stressful and difficult. Carlie went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. She was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, especially for kids. Her kindness, patience, and attentiveness truly made our meal enjoyable and stress-free.

Gina C

Came here because a gluten free wrap option was specifically mentioned by the owners in these reviews. They do not offer a gluten free wrap so don't expect to get that here. They offer gluten free bread but not exactly the same when you are looking for a breakfast burrito. They also advertise online ordering with no options to select gluten free substitutes. Disappointed.

Aaron Morse

Fantastic fine dining experience with excellent, beachfront ambiance and many gluten-free options.

Kevin Sparrow

Don’t sleep on this place. One of the best breakfasts in Maui. Super chill atmosphere and the server was amazing. If you are looking for a gluten free and celiac safe spot, this is the place.

Aidan S

We came to this restaurant excited for the food based off recommendations from online and gluten free forums. My wife has celiac and we made that clear with our waitress Sarah. Sarah was kind to us but was a little slow on service even though it didn't seem incredibly busy. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get seated and then another 5-10 minutes to get water and menus. Then we waited about 20 minutes before our order was taken and drinks refilled. Sarah was knowledgeable about the menu and provided some recommendations which we trusted. I got the Zesty Coconut Catch and my wife ordered the Soy Wasabi Local Catch gluten free. The food took about 10-15 to get to our table but the lady running it gave it to the table next to us first and then to us. The food was superbly mediocre. Not great not bad. Super dissapointing to spend $100 on food that wasn't good. The only thing I have to compliment is the fish was cooked well. Overall not a bad place but super dissapointed at the quality for the price.

dcDalton

This was our first time going to three's bar and grill. We waited for less than 10 minutes for a table outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For those with Celiac or gluten issues a separate is available. I ordered blackened fish which was one of the best fish I've had. We had a great dinner. You get 20% off your next meal with receipt.

Ashley Hale

We ate here twice last week. The waiters were kind and seemed relatively well trained on celiac needs. My daughter had the fish tacos and then tried a bunless burger with a side sub (fries are cross contaminated). Felt good after both meals!

Sanja Cvetanovic

I was looking for a gluten-free poke and I got it. Super tasty. Lineups in February were long, but it is unbelievable how quickly you get your order once you order it.

Elena Gonzales

I'm so thankful we found this place! Love their gluten-free in-house made bread. It doesn't taste gluten-free, and the texture is like regular bread! Big plus for me. The food was wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here. Staff was friendly.

Sarah Be

Loved our experience here, beachside, sunsets, tasty food. Another reason for the top review is the quantity and quality of gluten free offerings,

Grace Attalla

Our go to place for food on Maui! Super friendly family owned place that is also great with dietary accommodations (gluten free). Definitely recommend! Great for food before the airport.

Kitty C

Tasty food, large portions, 100% gluten free!

Amanda Fowler

So good. So fresh. We’ve been in Hawai’i for two days and have eaten here twice. Very gluten free friendly and so amazing. It’s basically build your own sushi bowl.

Hailey

Fish tacos were good! They had corn tortillas for us gluten free people.

Ryan Barden

The pizza here is outstanding! Their gluten-free option stands out because it’s handmade, unlike the standard 10” frozen crust you find at most other restaurants. It’s easily the best gluten-free pizza we’ve ever had.

Allison Henderson

Delicious food! It was so great to have fries! Jaclyn was very helpful explaining how almost everything was gluten free. The portions were a great size and reasonably priced too!

Dorothy F Shelton

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

Amber Turkin

Amazing experience! We were able to get a same day reservation and were seated early upon our arrival even with the restaurant already being busy. The food was absolutely incredible - definitely the best we had during our stay in Kauai and maybe the best we’ve had in several months (years? Who knows - time passes so quickly these days). We loved our drinks (both booze and non-alc choices), our entrees (Keoki’s style, panko Mac nut crusted, and chef’s fresh fish duo), dessert (the bread pudding and mango GF pono pie) and the overall ambiance (beautiful setting, live music). They were super accommodating of gluten and nut allergies too. Definitely recommend!

Peter Ryczek

If I could do negative stars, I would. Story time. Husband & I chose this place for the gluten free burger bun option. We went to a previous restaurant that we thought was GF, it was unfortunately not. Husband already ordered/recieved his food to go. We explained this to the host & asked permission to bring husband's food in so that I could order and eat with him - THE HOST AGREED AND SAT US! We were then harassed by both the sever & manager seperately about the outside food. We explained to them both we were here for the gluten free option, and husband would order drink(s) ect. Didn't stop the manager from being rude to us AFTER we already explained our situation and were seated without resistance. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years, I was appalled. Train your staff better; don't agree to seat customers who are being transparent and then harass them anyways. Don't spend your money here.
