Fantastic gluten-free breakfast sandwich!! Would recommend!!!

As someone who is very sensitive to gluten and dairy, I appreciate that this food truck is 100% gluten free and easily able to accommodate dairy free dietary needs. What's better, though, is how amazingly good the food tastes. The staff are always friendly, and on good weather days, it's wonderful to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful food court next to the inlet.

My husband, mom, and I came to brunch this past Saturday. I'm gluten free, told my waitress I was and asked for some exchanges like gluten free toast. This was the only thing I ate on Saturday because later in the day, I had a massive gluten allergy reaction. I'm not sure if the waitress didn't tell the chef or the chef didn't read the ticket correctly, but there was gluten. I just want you to know because it's important that customers with allergies feel safe to eat here, especially when your menu states gluten free alternatives. It's a lovely, delicious restaurant that I'd like to come back to. Please on behalf of us non-gluten tolerating folks, watch out for our modifications. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Thank you and have a happy new year. I sent this message to MIX on FB but they never got back to me.

Daughter has Celiac disease. Specifically asked cashier about gluten free cones. Was told all you had was the regular type gf cone. She was very excited and literally only ordered a child's portion just to get the cone. The ice cream (which she really didn't want) was then served in a cup with a statement of "we don't have anymore cones." I told attendant we'd just take refund for hers. Was informed they don't do refunds on card purchases and they'd have to wait until they could contact "corporate". We are from out of state! Traveling! Obviously, we won't be waiting around! 59 years old and I've NEVER heard of such a thing. Specifically ask for a certain product (for serious health reasons). Told it was available. Paid for it. Told it wasn't available and denied a refund. That's some pretty cheesy service. FYI. The actual ice cream was phenomenal.

Delicious chicken pho and the wings were out of this world. Very thoughtful on guidance as to what was gluten free and what wasn't.

Danielle Pelaez

Generous portions and delicious food ! Gluten free and vegan options 🌱

Nancy Kaproth

Love their Sangria. Nice to get your drink at the bar while you are waiting for your table. They are able to serve Gluten Free entries. Too bad, the tortilla chips aren't fried in a dedicated GF fryer. Had to skip the chips and salsa.

Military & Healthcare Discount! Great food and lots of options for adults and kids. We went on Father's Day and was there 10 minutes before they opened, but the owner still let us come in and get started. Kids age 11 & 14 both easily found something. Great fruit cobbler for dessert. All food had a good presentation and taste. Gluten-free buns available as up charge. The mushroom sandwich was good. Did not know what to expect of it, but good. Chicken nuggets are like chicken bites, but very soft. Lots of options besides fries, including tots and sweet potato fries. Like much of this area, parking is in a paid garage. Walk about a block.

Emma Brown

Lots of Gluten free options!

Erik Stoneham

Really good coffee and baked goods as well as sandwiches. They also offer gluten free and vegan options as well. Fun little spot. Would go back.

Ju Do

Having celiacs I feel comfortable ordering food here and not having to worry... thank you!

Amanda's Quest

My scallop dinner had only 3 scallops served on rice and bean sprouts for $36. The flavor was very good, but in what world does a restaurant think it’s appropriate to serve a pricey scallop dinner with barely any scallops? The rice was not very good (taste like dish water to me) and the flavors were not Michelin star quality, but the price sure was! It was disappointing that they gave such a small portion of actual scallops. Also not thrilled they charged $2 extra for a gluten free bun on an already overpriced meal. The view and ambience was nice but I wouldn’t go back here after being served an insulting shrinkflation scallop dish.

Great Thai, with Gluten Free options. We've been going here for years, and always excellent.

Cat

Lovely, quiet cafe perfect for meeting friends, family, or just hanging out doing work. The menu is small but has a good variety of drinks and treats, options for gluten and dairy free as well. Everything seems sourced very well and handmade. I hope they eventually will have more lunch available soon, as they seem to only do it for a short period of time with only a few specials every day. Love the savory and sweet hand pies! Blueberry with lemon glaze is my favorite.

Alex Rodriguez

Delicious pizza. The gluten free and vegan options are amazing as well!

Judd Karlman

Loved the gluten-free options. Delicious ramen, best ramen I've had since living in Japan.

Doug Ambrusko

Highly recommend! They have gluten free options for bagel or toast. Made to order right on the spot, quick courteous service, nice atmosphere. Privately owned. Also, as far as we could find the only real smoothie place around!

Felix Maradiaga

Congratulations to Taverna Banfi for their exceptional range of vegetarian and gluten-free options! It’s impressive how you maintain such exquisite flavors and variety without compromising on quality. The ambiance is also incredibly pleasant, making it a delightful experience right in the heart of Cornell University. Highly recommended!

Dorothy Elizabeth

Great experience and food was delicious. Very accommodating to my gluten allergy. If you want the gluten free bread, you must call ahead. They do use the same equipment to cook the gluten free injera with the normal one, but they clean it in between. I opted out of the injera to be safe, but the food is delicious. The avocado salad was spicy and a great starter. The meats were flavorful and juicy. The lentils were spiced to perfection. The food doesn’t really match the dated/sparse interior, but it’s delicious and makes up for the space.

Nakieda Massey

Love the concept and love the food! Everyone was amazing and the food even moreso, the blueberry coconut lemonade was the best! Also the portions are huge! My sister had the chicken and waffles and it was fantastic. The menus are labeled so you can see what's vegan and gluten-free and what's locally sourced. Definitely appreciate being able to support the local farmers. Also, all ordering was done via an iPad at the table to limit contact. Every table was sanitized and they observed the social distancing rules. I highly recommend it and next time I'm in Ithaca I'm stopping by.

Judd Karlman

Solid gluten-free labelling and amazing food. The gnocci and the steak are highly recommended.

Elizabeth Galen

I'm gluten free and dairy free which limits options at most places. The fries are supposed to be gluten free in a dedicated fryer. I ate them once with no issue but got glutened the second time. I tried the vegan gf curry option the third time, and it was just weird. Raw spinach with cashews on top of it with rice next to it and a pickle and raw carrot relish. Curry sauce to dump on top. It wasn't really a curry of any Asian variety. It was edible, just not tasty. I won't be ordering again though I'm at Liquid State at least once a month with groups that meet there.

Lori Forrester

Their cider is delicious especially the dry ones. And most of the food can be made gluten free.

J K

This is REAL FOOD people. Super good and hearty food. Very cheap prices. True diner feel from the get go. No fancy vegan, vegetarian, no calorie, gluten free here. Good old fashion American were "town folk" go.

Kimberly Todd

Christina V

Absolutely delicious! And gluten free is clearly labeled 💙

So happy to see gluten free and vegan options. I am new to this diet and was stunned at how delicious the food was. The staff were lovely and everyone seemed to be having a great time and getting along well. Can’t wait to try more of their menu options.

Ross Tate

I love Asempe Kitchen! The food is healthy (at least for my dietary needs), filling, and tasty. Service is fast, so I can be in-and-out when I’m in a rush for lunch, but the atmosphere is nice, so I like to chill there when I can take my time. Except for the (delicious) monthly Sunday brunch special, the food is all vegan—and I think gluten-free—which makes it inclusive for my friends and colleagues. All this makes it a great place for events! Recently Chef Kuukua kindly let us reserve the whole restaurant; she even rearranged it into one giant table so that we could all sit together. Despise most guests being non-vegan and new to West African food, *everyone* had a great time and gabbed about how amazing the food was (and how stuffed they were). It was a huge hit!

Karolina Shepanzyk

Great spot in Ithaca for a dinner with friends or family. The chef was extremely accommodating for the group in terms of allergies, gluten-free, etc. Brought out a lot of options. Everything tasted delicious and service was top-notch. Create separate private rooms for large groups, so the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend!

North Star (April) is my second favorite dining hall on North campus. I am gluten free and for me there are SO many more options than RPCC. Also, the choices here change more often than RPCC. Plus, it’s the only dining hall on North campus that is open for breakfast. I would especially recommend this dining hall for perspective students visiting the campus because it is really close to the Martin Yang Welcome Center. RPCC vos. Appel is strongly debated but my vote goes to North Star!

This place is new in town and has something for everyone! Gluten free or vegan, doesn’t matter he’s got the hookup. There is plenty of seating outside and also inside upstairs. We walked in and ordered on the kiosk, it was user friendly and easy to pay on. Food is made to order so it took about 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. While I was waiting I tried a slice of chicken bacon ranch pizza and it was Amazing. We will definitely be back!
