I come here for the gluten-free cakes and treats. Only once did I have an old slice, I won't pick the last one next time. Can't wait to see what's on the counter next time I pop in

ziggis is hands down the best place for coffee, a snack, meeting with friends, and great customer service. my drink is always delicious and never too bitter or too sweet, this place has never done me wrong. the place is always clean, the staff is always ready to go. i love coming here & even the smoothies are a banger. the gluten free options are so good too. i recommend this place for everyone! i am upset that there has been construction blocking off partial access to ziggis, but its worth the detour every time. go to ZIGGIS!

Hello all my celiac and gluten free friends. Today I tried garbanzo in Ankeney iowa . I called ahead of time and they seem very knowledgeable about celiac and gluten free. When I went they gentleman asked if I have celiac disease I said yes and he told me everything is gluten free except some of the items. I wanted to try the gf pita for next time . Super great place definitely going again :)

Curbin' Cuisine catered our daughter's wedding over the weekend. The service was amazing, and the food was delicious! Misty was wonderful to work with all throughout the process! She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and offered great suggestions and help along the way. We had two separate tastings with her in order to choose our menu. We had vegetarian and gluten free guests to consider, and their menu had more options than any other place we tasted. The food for the wedding was plentiful! We ordered for 140 guests but easily could have fed 200 people. The chicken thighs in mushroom sauce with bell peppers definitely stole the show! It was so moist and tender that it fell apart with a fork. Instead of serving alcohol at the wedding, we offered a lemonade bar. Misty's staff made three different lemonades all from scratch: watermelon limeade, strawberry, and peach mango. Our guests loved trying all of the flavors! My personal favorite was the watermelon limeade. We've been customers of Curbin' Cuisine since they were located in Beaverdale (and we miss them there!). Dining in and/or carrying out has always been a great experience. Service is fast and friendly! We've never had a bad meal, and we always order the Philly Cheesesteak Fries as a side.

You absolutely must come here. But beware, your standards will go through the roof and you may never look at other restaurants the same way I have eaten here probably over 30 times and counting. The food is delicious and the servings are generous. Do you see how it looks in the picture? That’s exactly what you will get every time, and it will always consistently be the same as you first loved it The service here started off exceptional from my first visit and has only become better each time. The value for the money you get here will make you feel like how things used to cost in the good ole days While the staff do a great job, I really want to highlight the owner, Alan. He is so genuine, thoughtful and truly kind. He has gone out of his way several times by his own accord to bring me my food when he saw me pull up to the restaurant and even brought me water when I was eating in my car. One time I placed an order for myself and someone who has a gluten sensitivity, and he made us feel like he took that just as seriously as we did, if not more. He even called me shortly after picking up our order just to make sure to let us know that one of the items was not gluten free just in case. I just can’t say enough nice things about him, and I wish more restaurant owners would adopt his qualities And lastly, it’s not just the food and service that is exceptional. The to go bag is insulated to keep the food warm. The silverware is branded, hygienically sealed and premium. Today there was another new addition: a thoughtful sticker that thanks you for being their customer and keeps the bag closed. These things come with a considerable cost to the restaurant, but it just shows how much is selflessly invested into the customer. Every day, this restaurant improves and I love the creativity and playfulness that goes into all of the branding. This is one of my favorite go-to’s and you absolutely need to try it out too!

Went over lunch and there was only 1 waitress for the lunch crowd. No lunch menu and the Gluten-Free dedicated fryer wasn't working. The food tasted good though and the waitress was on it.
