I’ve accepted that I’ll never be a judge on Master Chef, in return I’d accepted that I’d never have an experience where you bite into a dish and get to be absolutely astounded by all the flavors and profiles that come along with it… until I ate at Colita! We had the Pate and it was nothing short of remarkable! The staff was top tier, the food was outstanding, and the atmosphere is intimate and inviting! I’m completely gluten free and could order anything on the menu! We had the best time! Thank you for hosting us and giving us an exceptional experience start to finish! 💕

Chili with gluten free cornbread is heavenly. Being from the south, it’s hard to find good cornbread. Reminded me of my granny’s. Also, best gluten free brownie I have had in my life. I was full ages ago, but scarfed everything down. I will be back!

One of my favorite places. Lots of gluten free options. I just wish they had a cornbread gf option! Come early if you want to get the smothered chicken, sometimes they sell out.

This place rules. The flavors are great, plating is pretty, and the prices are decent. Allergens are carefully marked on the menu, so I was able to find dishes that were dairy-free and gluten-free so my partner and I could share. I've been here a few times and I like to order the shrimp moilee and the lamb roganjosh. I've only been at lunchtime and it's pretty quiet, but the service is great and the food comes out quick.

They have gluten friendly options! From scones and cupcakes to cookies, they have plenty of options for gluten sensitive needs. The murals on the wall are gorgeous and well worth seeing in person, the baristas are friendly and helpful and, of course, the coffee is delicious. They have outdoor seating available for warmer days and a cute little patio with flowers right next door, making it the perfect place to sit in the early morning sunshine and sip on some coffee.

Ordered the gluten free banana tart. The banana was banana-ing. The crust: it's bitter flavor complemented the banana, but the texture was like chewing the crusted on dirt off the bottom of a boot. Otherwise it was good! Brown sugar molasses drink was decent.

Red Wagon never disappoints! We hadn't been since they expanded into the space next door, and our spot at a booth was perfectly family friendly. The pizza dough to entertain our 2-year-old was genius! The buffalo wings are some of the best in the Twin Cities, and while my first gluten-free pizza came out a tad burnt (those crusts are hard to cook), they graciously made me another and brought out a complimentary order of meatballs so I could eat with my family. All around, another wonderful experience at Red Wagon! Note that you now need a reservation, so book at least the day before you plan to go.

The steelhead trout was one of the best meals I've had in the Twin Cities this year. Absolutely delicious with the burre blanc, peas, and edamame. I also enjoyed the beet salad. My husband's steak was very tender. All in all, a solid meal (albeit a pricey one). Gluten free options are not labeled but the staff are able to identify what is / isn't safe. I told them I have celiac and the level of caution changed immediately.

We love the BBQ here and that much of it is gluten-free. We order take out often and have had some larger family gatherings (thanksgiving, parties) with food from here. Sometimes they seems a little short-staffed and have packed the wrong sides or sauces, so always check your order before you leave. Much better BBQ than Famous Daves (same guy, though!)
