GF baked goods, delicious safe GF options.

Jessi

Amazing delicious and fresh options. Love that they can accommodate those with celiac disease/gluten free. The GF breakfast burritos are amazing and the GF spicy fried chicken sandwich is another favorite.

Michelle McAuliffe

Such a great local spot. Excellent place for gluten free food. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

Dwight Bickel

Shockingly poor pizza. Gluten-free crust was dry tasteless. A thin amount of Asiago and barely visible tiny pieces of plant-based Italin sausage. Missing ANY mozzarella, olives, green peppers and red sauce, all specifically added to the order.

Stopped in here for a burger and some maple bacon sweet potato fries and came out super impressed. Total Bend, Oregon vibes, chill people and great service. Would totally come back. Offers both plant based, beef, and a 50/50 patty of plants and beef. Also Gluten Free options and a fryer dedicated for gluten free allergies. A Plus. Come here for a great burger. Try the Chup and fries.

The menu was kind of small, there aren't many gluten free/vegetarian options. We had a dish that was a plate to share and the bowls they served it with were very small. We didn't get much tofu with the dish and it seemed like it was mostly basil leaves. The lemongrass was woody and we didn't find the dish worth taking in a Togo box. I also had the Thai tonic, the flavors worked well together and it was strong. The inside of the restaurant was a small and the dried roses hanging from the ceiling were pretty. The music and decor gave it an authentic feel.

Had brunch here with 2 of my teens we ordered: 1. Junkin with gluten free toast (gluten free options) 2. Classic breakfast with bacon and a biscuit 3. Breakfast sandwich. Pros: Service was fast and friendly. Place was clean and inviting. Cons: They only have oat milk and cow milk no other milk alternatives. Not the end of the world but worth knowing if you want a fancy coffee with breakfast. Food: The food was a 4.5/5 the sandwich was a hit and the classic breakfast was good with the exception that the potatoes were bland with no seasoning and not very crispy. The Junkin was good except 50% of the veggies were turnips. Which are not my favorite so picked most of them out. The gluten free toast was delicious! (Note I've had the junkin before when it was more balanced with more of a variety to the veggies so this might be hit or miss) Over all a good visit Side note there is no parking lot or designated space for parking so you have to find a spot on a residential street which can be tricky.

We got great celiac friendly breakfast burrito! Loved that! Not going to lie, the coffee tasted rancid like they needed to clean out the espresso machine and recalibrate it. I threw out my full cup but my partners tea was great! The male barista was a bit snooty to us as new to shop customers but everyone else was great. That dropped a star but the great prices on food was 5 star!

Almost everything is Gluten Free. NA Beers = Yes Great Selection of Regular Beers = Yes. Affordable = Yes.

Gluten free/ vegan friendly!! Had a nice dinner out with a friend. We made a reservation 5 days ahead to make sure we could get a table Their menu was very very GF friendly. They are have a fun cocktail list but it was much smaller than we thought it would be considering we heard they were the go to place for cocktails. *Dishes we tried were delicious! *Service was ok.... not great really slow and they seemed a bit understaffed. The people were nice just very very slow. *Bathroom situation was a bit odd... you have to leave the restaurant go into the hotel and then down an elevator to another floor and around a corner to the bathroom. If your dinning with children it's a trick. Overall would definitely go back again.

James Cowan

by far the best Chinese restaurant in Central Oregon! I got to take my daughter here on a date. It is a favorite restaurant of our family and she was so excited to get to come. The staff has always been friendly and the portion sizes are always big enough to get to take some home to eat for lunch the next day. Plus 80% of their menu can be made gluten-free and if you let them know if there’s an allergy the cooks take care and I have never gotten sick here.

We went here for pizza this last weekend, when we were visiting the area. We had pizza at one other place while we were there, and this blew that went out of the water. We have to eat gluten-free due to allergies. Most gluten-free crust served at restaurants is really crack or crust or, at best, flat bread. this was soft with a slight chew to it, as a good pizza crush should have. I would have liked some air bubbles, but that's something I've only found in one place in all the Pacific Northwest. We sat outside, as we had our putz with us. As it was dark, it was a little chilly until they lit the fireplace. Even with the fireplace on, the patio is rather large, and I do think they need to add some more gas heaters on the outer edges. The fireplace really only keeps you warm if you're within 6 inches to ten inches. The server was attentive and friendly. We didn't wait long for our order once it was in. We shared a large house house salad. My husband, who hates vinegarats, actually liked the one that was on this salad. It was spring. Mix lettuce with current shreds and nothing more. I don't know if there's normally croutons on it, and they left them out because of the gluten allergy, but it was just lettuce and carrot shreds for us. The parking lot is tiny, and only one direction. There is street parking. You may have to walk a couple of blocks. There are a lot of restaurants on the street, making it a popular destination. When we first arrived, we were told It would be a thirty minute wait. We decided to start walking down the street for a few minutes. They said they had a cancelation, so they told us we were able to be seated within 2 minutes. We know now to expect a thirty minute wait in the future. We really enjoyed the food. I highly recommend the house made pork. The sweet heat was a perfect balance of spicy, pickled peppers and sweet, tender house mate pork. I would highly recommend, if you were going to eat here in the evening...even during the warmer months, bring a blanket and a jacket. My only disappointment was that there was no cider available. It worked out because I had a very good Ginger campucha, served in the bottle, with a glass of ice. It is made by a company that gives part of their proceeds to help the less fortunate. I definitely recommend eating here if you are gluten intolerant. I had no reaction, and I am rather sensitive to cross contamination. Repeat that it's cooked and served on a metal Pan. Which helps eliminate that. Even if you don't have food allergies, the place is very popular, which tells you a lot. If you don't want pizza, they also have gluten-free buns.

Our first visit was really good. 4 of us enjoyed some appetizers and a variety of drinks including non-alcoholic cocktails, real cocktails, and wine and we were really impressed with everything. We weren't as impressed with our entrees, especially my husband's which was a perfectly cooked fish but had no sides. He didn't realize that and didn't want to order anything once we'd already received our food. We followed dinner with dessert which again was very impressive like the start of our meal. Half our party is gluten free and one person lactose free and there were many options for everyone. Photo from desert.

Went for a party of two. There is a long waitlist so be prepared to walk around downtown in the meantime. It was a 45 min wait but once we got there the service was amazing! The people were super kind to us and helped us find gluten free options. It was a bit loud, but the food absolutely made up for it! I got the raspberry lemonade (highly recommend it), a cinnamon roll, and the avo smash one. I am so thankful for the wonderful experience given to us and I hope next time I’m in Bend I go!!!

Tracy Tindle

I love Thump coffee. The Baristas are always friendly and go out of their way to give you a great coffee drink. I also appreciate that they offer really tasty gluten free pastries.

Kendra Kostick

Super cool place! Looks small from the outside but has a generous amount of seating inside. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. Unique menu with great gluten free options. Would definitely stop in here again!

Sanya Membe

I love this restaurant. The food and drinks especially the morning cocktails are exceptional. The staff and waitresses were so sweet and attentive, patient with a smile. High recommend the food here, perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp and lobster on an eggs Benedict with morel mushrooms absolutely made my day. Gluten free options available and made to request. I waited over 38 years to finally visit this restaurant even though I knew it had a great reputation but now it's apart of life forever.

Mark Sole

One of the best Italian restaurants in Bend. Reservations a must, unless you want to chance sitting at the first come bar. Food excellent, w a ton of Gluten Free options.

Chris Didato

They can make almost everything Gluten Free. Food is tasty. Spice level 4 is my fav for most things has the heat and spicy long finish. Those that don’t do hot sauce or sriracha may want level 3 or less. Goto’s for us: Cashew chicken. Phat Thai/ pad thai Drunken Noodles. Pumpkin Curry (when they have it). Chicken Curry.

Gerry&Julie Nickolaus

My wife has celiacs. This is one of a few GF options in town. They take good care to keep everything seperated from glutened items. Thank you so much! Though under staffed still decent service.

Kim Lattig

Just had a great meal! A group of 6 of us were seated immediately. The server was very friendly. Every single dish you could tell was made with love and great flavor. I loved all the gluten free options. All the garnishes and dishes were thoughtfully made and everything seemed extremely fresh.

Andrea Wyland

We went to watch Slightly Stoopid from the old Mill. I’ve seen them many times I didn’t need to go in this time, but we decided to grab a drink at Greg’s Grill where I was pleasantly surprised to learn they have a new menu and have labeled the menu with gluten-free options. Not only that, but they now have a dedicated fryer for their fries! I raved on my food through the entire meal. Ask Dan 😆 #celiacsafe #glutenfree

Cam Connor

Great vibe. Lots of vegan and gluten free options.

Kailey Falcon

Food was so tasty! Exceeded expectations. Great for celiac and gluten free folks.

Cassidy

This was my first time at Cafe Yum! It was delicious. Food was very fresh. Workers were friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the variety. Gluten free and vegan options too, which is always a plus! I will definitely go again next time I'm in Oregon!

Stefanie Obregozo

My husband and I love this place! The fish is always super fresh and the presentation is beautiful. The waitstaff is fantastic and very accommodating. As someone who reacts to gluten, I really appreciate the option to have almost anything on the menu made gluten-free. (They even have a gluten-free "unagi sauce" which is delicious!) Grateful to have a go-to sushi restaurant that is consistently good.

José Luis Fausto Martinez

Super awesome ski themed sandwich shop in downtown Bend. Loved the gluten free options.

Amy

A long time fav. Best sushi in town. Best gluten free fried chicken, gluten free fish tacos.

Adam Fitzgerald

Paul Burkett

The food and service were both fantastic. The restaurant also has an excellent view. They have a good number of gluten-free options and those options are clearly marked on their menu which is very helpful for the gluten intolerant such as myself!

John Robinson

Great food, great service. Noi Thai is on my "must do" list whenever I am in Bend. I am celiac and there are enough GF choices to make it hard for me to decide what to pick. Then the waiter there were more things on the menu that could be made GF...

Presley Sallee

This place is 10/10. So many gluten free options. Also the busser is the nicest most hardworking man. Give him a raise!

Alexa Miller

One of our favorite smash burgers we’ve found in the Bend/Redmond area. Great price, and they have gluten free buns too! We both had the OG and it was delicious.

Allison Wanichek

Great food + staff! Tons of gluten free options, and vegetarian. Not too often you find gluten free BBQ options. 10/10!

Gabby Segura

This place is THE BOMB. Everything's amazing but the enter the dragon wrap has become my go to, and i highly recommend it. They can make you a gluten free and or vegan option for a lot of the menu. And the vibes are super cool classic bend.

Neil Toering

Fantastic high-quality food with a very knowledgeable staff. There are many gluten free options as well.

John Hood-Fysh

A true heritage tradition in Bend, the Pines with it's two pine trees rising though the floor and ceiling, offers great food, superb service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Our reservation was for 5:30 and the restaurant was already busy. We were quickly seated in the back overlooking the water. Our waiter was a high energy person and was very attentive without making us feel hurried. The steak fries and garlic fries appitizers were both great, although the steak fries would be my choice next time. I had the pulled pork without the bun (gluten intolerance) and was offered seasonal vegetables ( superb green beans ) all of which were very tasty. My wife had the chicken Marsala which after I had a taste was a much better choice. Our companions had the blackened rockcod and rib eye steak which they enjoyed. The Pines has an excellent wine and beer list. Wine is offered by the bottle or glass. All in all an excellent dinning experience. If you have not been be sure to try it.

Brett L

Delicious healthy food. I recommend the spicy sauce. They have plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options.

Laura Evans

The best hot dog, and they even have gluten free buns! Try the Western!

Sydney Holden

Amazing food! Went while they were still at Deschutes Brewery and I asked about gluten free and was able to get the spicy poke bowl. It was delicious! Definitely recommend especially now that they are at on tap with more hours! Yum!

Went in at the suggestion of a friend and glad we went. If you're in the need of some happy comfort food, this is a great option. I ordered a sandwich called "Border Patrol" which had bacon, jalapeno, fried onions, and lots of cheese. I ordered a full sandwich but found half was rich and dense enough to satisfy my appetite. We also ordered churros and they were delicious also. Plenty of parking near the world market and Meltz has indoor and outdoor seating. They do have gluten free bread and vegan cheese, but I didn't try these so can't say how these taste.

Wendy Rudy

I had the Cubano and it was to die for. They were even able to accommodate my gluten intolerance. Great food, cool space!

Theresa Kim

In bend near Costco hwy 20. Great service and excellent sandwich gluten free.

Mikayla Zahn

Update from a previous review where they did not handle dietary restrictions well (years ago) - the menu is now clearly marked with gluten free options!! Gluten free options are mostly the "sharable" dishes, but we really appreciated the menu changes! Previous review: Drinks are great, but if you are gluten free for any reason, I would not recommend going here and expecting to eat anything. Though many things on the menu look like they should be gluten free, if you ask, the waiters seem to have no idea about the ingredients in the food they serve. Most recently I asked if their potato salad was gluten free - they said they weren't sure, so I asked for the ingredient list. Their response was that they weren't sure of the ingredients, just that there were a lot. I would be cautious to eat at an establishment that is unsure of their ingredients even without dietary restrictions.

This place is a hidden gem! On our first Bend trip I was looking for a nice wine and cheese night for my birthday. So glad we ended up here instead of some of the popular wineries! We went in on a Friday 3/29 and it seemed a little quiet —no idea why, everything was fantastic. They also have cocktails! Food was delicious and so many gluten free options which really made the night for me! We had a cheeseboard and olives, calamari and perfectly cooked steak with Mac n cheese (gf noodles). Service was really great and we took home a bottle of one of my favorite wines Lubanzi Chenin Blanc for a great price. Will be back every trip!!! Thanks for a great experience.

Alyssa Mc

Fantastic gluten free crust!!

Sandra Bazgan

Excellent menu, almost all the options were gluten free, very friendly staff

Tiffany Coker

I had the original cafe yumm bowl and it was terrific! I love that it is gluten free and tastes wonderful.

Elizabeth Bennett

OMG Domaine Serene is amazing! We were totally made to feel so special by Luke and Katja. The experience and the service was top notch. The meat and cheese plate were high quality and delicious. We are so glad the dessert was recommended. It was a gluten free chocolate mousse that was perfect. Everything was warm, friendly, inviting and just a wonderful evening, tasting delicious wines. We can’t wait to go back.

Molly Pardi

Now that's a deli sandwich! They make excellent sandwiches even offer gluten-free bread!
