Tabatha Phillips

Gluten, Vegan, and Vegetarian friendly! Soooo good! Loved it so much. Will return! Get the baked cauliflower!!

Jessica Freeman

Pasta. Fancy dinner.

Sarah Lisy

I've never been to a gluten-free restaurant before. We went with family for brunch. Since 2 of our party are gluten-free, it was great not to try to find something you can have and still worry about cross contamination. Their waffles are funnel cakes...so good.

Jake G

Busy place, get on the waiting list! Amazing gluten-free breakfast! Lots of bacon, really impressed, absolutely delicious.

Maria Fernanda Flores

The Gluten Free option is quite good, really recommended 10/10 ⭐️

Liv G

Very cautious with allergies. Fries made in dedicated fryer. Gluten free bun or lettuce wrap available.

April Henry

My celiac family stops here whenever we visit the zoo. ☺️

Taylor Nicole

smack dab is one of my new favorite breakfast spots! staff was so kind and friendly which made the experience that much better. as a gluten free girly breakfast sandwiches are hard to find in the city and they have two different kinds of gluten free bread that is amazing!!! love that they are so gluten free and dietary restriction friendly. will def be on my regular rotation now :)

I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town. Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Letty Terrazas

Great GF Pizza. Dough is soft and has a wonderful taste. Staff is really nice. Worth the 45min drive.

Rachael Blanton

A great place to visit if you’re gluten free! Very accommodating!

Brittany Edwards

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Legacy Pointe! Our daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last year so this one of the only places we feel fully comfortable eating at in town. We have been many times and we always have a great experience. Today was our best yet! Kierra was our waitress today and she is wonderful. We have had her before and she is always great! My husband loved the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I got my usual, the hamburger ponyshoe. My girls got the kids burgers and the best fries!! This time we decided to finally try the flourless chocolate cake. It was amazing and my daughter absolutely loved it and it made her so happy, I about cried!

Maggiano was great! Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent. I had the chicken saltimbocca. When seated, the waiter asked about if anyone had any food sensitivities and I’m severely gluten intolerant. He then invited the chef to come out to talk to me about my allergies/ sensitivity which was pleasantly surprising. Most chefs never do that. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a great time eating here. I’ll definitely come back again the next time I get to visit Chicago.

Hallie Meunier

Genuinely some of the best food I have had in a long time! So fresh and delicious. Staff was so friendly and it was such a cute vibe. I also have celiac disease and need to eat strictly gluten free and they were so knowledgeable about cross contamination and there were only 3 things on the whole menu that couldn’t be made gluten free. This will definitely be a regular spot for me!

Makara Gerber

What a gem! As a gluten free individual, it has been so many years since I've been able to have a true Chicago style pizza. Visiting Chicago and being able to find a pizza joint that offers a gluten free option (that isn't thin crust) made my year! Just because we are gluten free does not mean we don't want to enjoy the glorious food different destinations have to offer. Thank you Chicago's Pizza! I only wish I lived closer and could visit more often!

Crystal Jordan

All gluten free and a lot of dairy free or vegan. VERY delicious! The picture is HALF of the Italian panini, the chicken mozzarella sandwich was good too!

Todd Nahigian

BIBIBOP is by far my favorite restaurant. I Am gluten-free and egg free and I love everything that they serve. The way they prepare the avocado, is the best I've ever tasted. When they introduced the crispy chicken, things even got better.

Allison Jones

Gluten free options are great. I've eaten here twice and haven't been sick. GF food comes out with marker. Symptomic Celiac

Stephon Berry

Enjoyed the Nadine, just substituted the pepperoni for chicken and my partner had a gluten free pesto chicken pizza. All in all a good dinner. I'd recommend for those with disposable income as it's not cheap, but it's not exorbitantly expensive. A single small pizza in enough to fill one person

Katie Rylko

I've been wanting to try this place for some time and finally made it! I have to eat gluten free not by choice. This is literally the first place I've ever been to where I can eat everything on the menu! Never had this option before this is awesome now I just wish there were more locations this one is 30 minutes away and not in a direction I typically go. I ate here with my 10-year-old and 12 year old. We each got a bowl. The lemon turmeric rice did not disappoint. One of my kids tried the glass noodles they were very good and fun. My kids did not try any of the sauces they thought overall there was a slight spiciness to the dish without adding anything extra. I tried the teriyaki it was good. Oh and don't forget the free miso soup, lovely bonus. The broth is excellent.

Got the tofu banh mi, which was a first for me, only place I've found that does them gluten free. It was really, really good and everyone was super friendly. Food came out quickly, and the coffee was great.

Jane Wilberding

I LOVE this place. The space is super large, clean and open. The service is great. And the ciders are solid. I like that they are constantly rotating and trying new ones out. But if and when they are too weird for me, they always keep some on the menu permanently (the pedestrian cider is a fav). I have celiac and there are plenty of GF options and staff are always helpful in making sure nothing is cross contaminated.

MERVE NAJA

Fantastic food and service! We ordered through door dash, everything was great. The bad apple burger is fantastic, I had it on gluten free bun which was great, it was holding well and not crumbly. The fries were also fantastic, which is rare because fries don’t travel very well, I am sure they are even more amazing when eaten at the restaurant. We also had the fried cheese curds and the chocolate mousse, both of them were perfectly executed. I requested my gluten free burger to be marked on the notes and someone from staff called me on the phone to make sure that they understood my request correctly, I am grateful for the sensitivity. Hats off to the chefs back in the kitchen and thanks! Hopefully we can go and dine in too.

Cate Koziol

Completely gluten free menu.

Callie Bunker

Great place to take family and friends, breakfast, lunch or dinner all delicious. Have celiac and there are always safe options for eating gluten free. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable

LaTriese Wilson

Hamburger and Milkshake was delicious and gluten free

Joanne Gresh

Best place around for gluten free food. Not too many restaurants can pull this off but they do....

Amanda Whittington

DELICIOUS gluten free crepes!! 10/10

Lucy Fiorito

Great food and I’ve never gotten a reaction from it

Meg P

I do NOT recommend for gluten allergies. They have an amazing menu. However, transitioning from no gluten allergy to allergy dining here post diagnosis they have super limited options and their Andros seasoning contains gluten! Why?! It’s not necessary.

Nadine Soro

Egg Harbor, Café is hands down the best spot for breakfast! They offer a fantastic menu with something for everyone, including a dedicated gluten-free menu alongside their regular options. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service make it an absolute favorite. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Egg Harbor Café is a must-visit for a delicious and satisfying breakfast experience!

Jamie Cheval

Best gluten free pizza I have ever had in my life. I’ve ordered it twice now, and I don’t plan on getting it anywhere else. Flavor was wonderful, and the crust was perfect.

Leon Rishniw

The miso soup was great and started the meal off on a high. Sadly the sushi course was disappointing. The fish was mediocre at best (saba and medai), uni was bland, avocado in my roll was not ripe. Too much rice on the nigiri and overcooked. Tea was tasty and refilled regularly. They had gluten-free soy and were communicative about gluten in dishes. Service was great. Sadly it was overpriced for the quality of the food being served. Won’t be going back.

Neva West

Hands down, the best gluten-free pasta in Chicago, and the rest of the menu is great too. They have a nice little summer patio and super cozy inside space in the winter. Wait staff are always personable and professional. Nice Italian wine list with some unusual offerings.

Anupam Kumar

Superb! Great options for vegetarians as well as gluten-free. Awesome desserts

Rachel Wadkins

Everything we ordered was great. Service was amazing. One of us has a severe gluten allergy and our server paid extra attention to her dishes. Can't wait to go back again!

Caitlin Body

I love how they take care of me with my gluten free/ celiac requests. A fun place to eat!

Megan Benjamin

A lot of gluten free options! Quite delicious, though some dishes are a bit small compared to others. The soup is easily 3 portions.

julie macy

Everything about this cafe is charming, including Caesar. He makes your dining experience very personal, and the food is prepared right before you in an open kitchen. The atmosphere is very cozy, the food was delicious, and the experience was outstanding. This place is truly unique. They even offer gluten free pierogis!! This was the best dining experience on our Chicago trip.

Mariah Schultz

Sunda Lunch Catering was great. Our group liked the Chicken, Tofu and LOVED the Pad Thai. Our Vegan/Gluten-Free guest appreciated all the options available including the individual salad. The delivery order drop off was smooth. Sam was super helpful and made sure to check in with me every step of the way ensuring our order was correct and set-up the way we wanted. Thank you again (Nicole) for all your help with coordinating! I will definitely keep Sunda in mind for future staff events.

Jessica Cipicchio

Delicious food and creative specials. We miss their flavored coffees but getting an iced tea refill to go in still a nice gesture they do. The gluten free options are great, especially for our kiddo with celiac. Use the online tool and n their website to put your name on the waitlist; otherwise, the wait times can be crazy sometimes and the waiting area is right.

Brianne Zabel

We loved our food here. My young boys are SO picky. They loved the food and asked for more so I had to place a second order! We were only in town for a couple days but make sure to go back again as requested by my sons and of course I was thrilled as well. They do phenomenal with gluten free and you must try the handmade corn tortillas!!

Jessica Seeley

Delicious celiac safe breakfast!

Kathleen Bennett

Our favorite gluten free place!

T Traveler

We were at the hospital and needed gluten free food for my mom. Most of the menu was gluten free. And it was delicious. The tacos were good size. I only needed one. I will be back.

Sarah W

Great GF pizza! Authentic Chicago food - a must visit. They cook it on a separate tray and do not cut it to avoid cross contact

Georgina Kazan

First visit. Went on a Saturday at 1 ( they close at 2:30) put our names on waitlist online so hardly any wait. Lots of choices for many different diets- vegetarian, gluten free, etc. It was busy so it was quite loud but I guess that’s unavoidable. Prices are high. You can see them online. 3 of us ate breakfast, 2 coffees, 1 soda, and 2 biscuit appetizers- $125 with tip. Our waitress was great except our food was given to us by someone else and we asked them for butter (none was brought with pancakes) and extra syrup but never got it. Tried to get the guys attention to no luck and finally flagged our waitress down. Overall a fine breakfast with solid choices but in my opinion not worth the cost.

Patterns

The only sad part of this meal was when it was gone! My family is from the south and we spent several years in Europe as well. But even without that experience under our belts we would’ve tasted the love in the biscuits and the expertise in the divine savory crepes! The owner was incredibly friendly and the bakery was very tastefully decorated. The entire place has a very calm (dare I say, encouraging?) vibe that makes me want to bring all my future coffee dates or work interviews there. They also have a number of gluten and dairy-free options, which is so encouraging as someone with food sensitivities! Suffice to say, the food was amazing, the meal was timely, and my only regret was not grabbing a dessert or coffee for the road. 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sophia Davis

My bridal shower here was nothing short of perfect! From the gorgeous mimosa bar to the amazing selection of gluten-free brunch options, everything was absolutely spot on. The staff was so accommodating, making sure everything went smoothly. We had about 35 people and took over the main dining space, which was just the right size—spacious yet intimate. The whole vibe was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting to celebrate with my favorite people. I couldn’t have asked for a better day!
