Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu

This place is amazing. The dips are so fun. The people working there are super fun to talk to and the coffee is better than Starbucks in my opinion. And as a vegan with celiac it’s super hard for me to find good desserts in NYC. Thank god for El Churro!!!

Caroline Voegele

Absolutely loved the food and especially the gluten-free options (even gluten-free bread)! Did not disappoint and will be back

Trendy brunch spot. Pretty scrambled eggs and GF bread available!

Nettie Atkisson

The staff was amazing. Design was great. Gluten free bread was ok. Not the best. But loved my BLT. Lovely place.

Jackie Shtemberg

Really good quick food options for something different. Lots of gluten free options. *im not celiac, just gluten free.

Jackson Miller

Really delicious food and great service! Great accommodation for gluten free and celiac too. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were super helpful and kind. The prawns and crab especially hit the spot.

MATILDE “Matilde gluten free”

I got the only ramen they make gluten-free (I don't remember the name). I didn't particularly like it, but I agree it was well made (it just didn't meet my personal taste)

Raymond Blum

What a welcome change of pace. I went in, frankly desperate for something to eat before a class and wasn't expecting such a gem! The friendly person at the counter reassured me that they could make my sandwich gluten free, the coffee was great, the wrap was delicious and the airy, friendly atmosphere has put this on my regular spot list. I'm going there every week before that same class.

Anna Eflin

Great place for a quick bagel or sandwich. Had a gluten free wrap that was great and didn’t fall apart. 👍

Cassia Attard

Very delicious! The savory mini pancakes with mushrooms were a star. Really liked them and I think they’re gluten free (didn’t verify). The vegetable pho is great because it comes with tofu and there’s lots of bok choi, peas, and mushrooms. I love the fibre boost. And you can get it with any broth (I liked beef > chicken). It’s a great spot for gluten free friendly food. Good prices for pho. One appetizer and 2 mains came to $42 - very reasonable prices.

Pause has been around for a long time and it’s always been great 💕gluten free wraps too

Emy Moore

Sofia Sanuni

It doesn't get better than this. Really. Have been coming here for years. Newly expanded, lots of room. Service is top notch and friendly. If you speak German you'll have even more fun, becuase so does the staff. Great atmosphere and food without the Americanized beer hall kitsch, but with a worthy beer menu. But please don't come here if you don't like German food and then complain. Try the decadent homemade liverwurst (yes decadent and liverwurst in the same sentence) even if you think you don't like liverwurst. This isn't Oscar Meyer. Worth commenting on, I have to be gluten free and they were very accommodating. Maybe one day Cafe Katja will have a gluten free spaetzle...

Georgia G

Very cute place with fresh food. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I have celiacs and they put the pita separately for my sister so she could still enjoy. We shared fattouch salad croutons on the side and added chicken, it was excellent. Red pepper dip was our favorite. Hummus was so so. Quick and friendly service.

Samuel Jun

Tasty Filipino spot with cute intimate vibe. Came here once and definitely want to try more of the dishes. Reccs: - BBQ pork ribs skewers Many labeled gluten free options

Emily Wetzler

The vegan birria tacos were fantastic. The jackfruit was so soft and the overall flavor was perfect. They were also gluten free which we love to see. I will definitely be getting these again.

Zyan McArthur

Excellent food and service, everything is gluten free and theres vegan options :)

Mae Moreno

Jorge and team went out of their way to accommodate my gluten allergy and family. The entire dining experience was perfect. Thank you for the great experience.

Emily Giel

I have celiac, so I called ahead and the staff was really well informed on what options were gluten free and safe for me and what options weren’t. It really means a lot to me when a restaurant is able to be accommodating to people with dietary restrictions. Really delicious food, especially the banh beo and banh xeo!

Sarah Keyes

I love this bar! Totally unpretentious, while still serving incredible food and drink. The atmosphere is sophisticated, intimate, and cozy. The service is inviting, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great gluten free options too! Trust me- try the popcorn. This bar is a rare find- especially for the area. Highly recommend!
