Love having a place that’s safe and yummy having dairy and gluten allergies! Their cold foam is amazing and love their house made flavors for lattes. Have been going to this owner since they were in glens falls and send tons of people their way. Great customer service! You won’t be disappointed!

Amanda Poulin

Favorite restaurant! Many gluten free options! All marked on the menu to make it easy to find. Carribean Nachos are our favorite!!

I would say gluten friendly, not gluten free. I have celiac disease and we have eaten here twice. First experience was good! Today’s visit was unfortunate. I spoke to the staff about my food allergy, they seemed confident, and my food came out with the little allergen stick which made me feel extremely comfortable. Within minutes of eating (my delicious food) I was sick and in their bathroom for 44 minutes until I was good enough to make it home and be ill at home. I spoke to a staff member on my way out so they were aware and they were extremely kind about the situation. If you choose to be gluten free or have no food allergies, great place and delicious food! Otherwise, be aware they are not able to accommodate allergies fully. Unfortunately, my family will not be back due to me getting glutened and being ill.

My husband and I went for pizza tonight for our 1st time. The menu is at least 4 pages long and they have every food item you can think of—pizza-regular and gluten free, gourmet salads, strombolis, calzones, burgers, subs, gyros, quesadillas, wraps, Italian entrees, wings, shawarma, and DESSERTS. (The carrot cake is to die for.) You can eat in or order take out. There are some booths and tables and a fireplace that adds to the ambiance of the place. We each ordered 2 slices out of a choice of 10-12 different kinds, diet sodas and carrot cake. I took out my charge card. The order total was approximately $25 with tax. Of course I’m guessing because we didn’t pay for it! When I went to put in my card, the gentleman said “No charge. Compliments of the house!” I said, “C’mon, please tell me how much.” Wow, such a generous gesture. We appreciated that so much and we left a nice tip. All 4 staff were welcoming, polite and were a pleasure to deal with. We definitely will go back there again and again. Christine & Rich Blackman

Classic smoothie bar and health food style spot but all vegan and gluten free so their whole menu can be enjoyed by everyone! Their salads are so delicious I loved the fresh and bright flavors of the Thai salad, while the salads are very well priced, their juice is tasty but surprisingly expensive compared to their much larger smoothies so I'd definitely go for those next time

Samara Halpern

Really happy I did not read the reviews ahead of time. This place was great. I was blown away by the amount of options that are gluten free. I had to try the gluten free mac and cheese and wow it did not disappoint. Also tried the tofu and quinoa bowl, the carrot chili vinagrette was so good! The service was top notch, and they even threw in a lemonade, I tried the habiscus lemonade which was not too sweet, just perfect. Highly recommend.

My husband and I so love Swiftys. We enjoy eating there every time we travel to Delmar. I love that they have gluten free bread and rolls. Salads and sandwiches are large and delicious. Their house made French fries are so addicting!

Most amazing gluten free pizza I've had in 20 years!!! So many gluten free options...the Truffle pizza was delicious!!!

Emma L

Gluten free options!

Kim Herzl-Betz

Great for Celiac. Fries are gf fried only with other fries, and if you tell them allergy at the register when you order they notate allergy and you can get a lettuce wrap.

I was really hyped about Moliendo Café because I had heard such great things. I don’t wanna complain about everything but overall we were just not very impressed. The owner greeted us off the start and was excellent, but from there the service went down as our waiter was absent quite a bit and forgot more than one of our orders. The food was pretty good. But not what I had expected from the hype. Good atmosphere tho. Overall I had a good experience. The margaritas are Very good tho! I do look forward to returning as maybe it was an “off day” which is understandable. Very traditional food that can be made gluten free and that’s hard to find. All in all I was happy with Moliendo Café.

Christopher Chanowitz

Food is very eclectic and delicious. Service is top notch. We drive over an hour to eat here. Worth it, especially the gluten free options.

While searching for gluten-free restaurant options in Albany, I saw the Fusion restaurant on Madison…. 4.9 rating on over 100 reviews, and convinced my wife to go. The food was tremendous, and the service was excellent. I had chicken pad Thai and my wife had dumplings and pork fried rice. The food came out very quickly and it was so satisfying. We were exploring the Albany area from Springfield MA and decided to take a chance. I will do it again if I’m in the area and I will try the Colombian section of the menu.

Amanda Santos

We were passing through and found this gem! They had gluten free noodles which is really hard to find. Really big portions, delicious food!

Lawrence Maxwell

Celebrated my engagement here and had such an incredible experience. Huge thank you to Mark for making the night so magical for us! He was incredibly attentive to my need for gluten free food and allowed us to pace out the evening slowly. Its nice to have such a wonderful restaurant near by dedicated to excellent service and delicious food!

brian weeks

Great service. We were there last night initially sitting outside it was a little chilly out I was freezing and the waitress was very accommodating getting us moved inside. Gluten-free pizza was delicious!

John Ellis

We haven't been here in about 2 years or so. Somehow, they seemed to have lost their vibe. Maybe it's because Mark Graydon always seemed to be there tending bar when we stopped in. My wife liked a gluten free beer that they had, and Mark always remembered even though we only stopped in every month or so. I do like the new system for ordering food. The quality of food was very good though.

Terry Wood

We hired dc catering for our daughters wedding last weekend and everyone raved about the food. He did some gluten free dishes for us as well and they were great. They have lots of options to choose from and we highly recommend them. Matt even called after the wedding to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Great customer service! We have a graduation coming up and will be using their service again soon. TNT

Amanda Sammons

I've been to the newly opened Washington Tavern three times now and have had a great experience every time! The cocktails were great, tons of beers on tap, and the food was SO good! They were also extremely accommodating of our dietary restrictions, including gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. The service was friendly and attentive, the vibe is great, and I'm already planning to go back!

Tanya Stewart

Service was phenomenal, our server did a fantastic job for our large party of 10. The food was delicious. I wish they also had gluten-free bread available when they brought bread and butter to the table for everyone. I was unable to enjoy any, and it smelled so good! The atmosphere was pretty good. But...our table was directly next to the kitchen area and where they stacked all their dishes. So, each time any waitstaff went in/out of the kitchen or dropped off dishes, it was loud and it became difficult to hear others speaking at our table. Overall though, it was a good night.

Yvette Nicol

This is a fun place with a retro vibe inside. There are lots of vegan options and if you are gluten free you can have the fries. The vegan burger is really good. I recommend the caramelized onion on everything!

Hannah Sandiford

Always awesome food and drinks! Highly recommended for others with celiac's disease! Menu always includes gluten free options and I've never gotten sick after eating there.

Walda Chesnut

Ama Cocina is back open after having closed down during the pandemic. The food and atmosphere are the same as before offering delicious Mexican dishes in a fun environment. Gluten free corn taco are available but no separate fryer for nachos.

Hannah Sandiford

More gluten free options please!! The coffee and smoothie I ordered were very good.

Irfan Munawar
