As a celiac this is the place to go. I had a severe nearly super man dive over the counter and snatch a chip from me when an order got switched and there was even the chance I could have been cross contaminated.
The staff is wonderful and always on point.
The food is fantastic - get the GF breaded fish tacos.. I am telling you they are excellent.
The drinks are mixed with care and a bit of sass.
One of my favorite places in town.
This cozy spot offers a fun atmosphere with local art on display and outdoor seating, making it perfect for families and casual hangouts.

4.5 average at time of review seems to be about right.
Got a salad and added chicken, was a little overpriced for amount of chicken that was added. But the dressing and peppers added was pretty good.
Other people I was with enjoyed their food as well. One has celiacs and this place seemed to be good for gluten intolerances
Experience a unique blend of a historic vibe and stunning views, perfect for enjoying delightful drinks and a lively atmosphere.

My wife and I loved the ciders and food served in this great location. The ciders are delicious and don’t make you feel like you’re just drinking sugar. The food was exceptional too. We loved the fry flight, and my wife appreciated all the gluten free options available. We cannot express how great of a place and how great the service was, highly recommend trying it out.

Great place to stop for a burger and a beer at a pretty good price. You could get out of there for about $20 if you try. The burgers are great. They have gluten free buns and impossible burgers for the vegan folks.
A popular spot for generous portions and delicious dishes, with some unique accommodating options for various dietary preferences.

My favorite breakfast in Bellingham. Their apple pancake is AMAZING, and is enough for 2 or 3 meals. I recently had to become gluten free and they were so accommodating and I was able to get their french toast gf and it was truly wonderful.

Really nice atmosphere on the waterfront with big windows to look at the view. Staff was very friendly. We didn't have a reservation but they got us in almost right away. I would recommend having a reservation to ensure you get a table.
Lots of gluten free options. Don't expect affordable Prices here! Prices were high but the food is good and the atmosphere makes it worth the price. Portion sizes were just ok. It was a small potion for the shrimp scampi, if you are really hungry I would recommend getting a soup or salad with it or getting a different menu item. The salmon salad was delicious! The presentation of the food was impressive.
With multiple unique options and big portions, it's a family favorite known for its tasty offerings and personalized experience.

This was a nice little find! We've driven through Bellingham dozens and dozens of times but never ventured beyond Meridian Way in terms of actually stopping in town to get a bite to eat or what not. Today we decided to take a break from the norm and we stumbled upon this cute place and we're glad we did!
The service was really nice and receptive, the gluten free lasagna was one of the best restaurant lasagnas I've ever had, and the price tag wasn't too bad for the quality of food. It's the only pasta dish on the menu that's automatically gluten free so I had to reward them by ordering it. All other pasta dishes can be ordered GF but with all things GF there's an upcharge. You can also get GF pizzas and a couple of GF desserts, too.
One *big* drawback though is the bathrooms aren't accessible and are very narrow. There are a couple stairs required to get to the bathroom so if you're wheelchair bound or have trouble with even one stair, don't drink too much. Quite frankly, as a whole, the restaurant isn't wheelchair accessible. In fairness to the restaurant, they're in a building that was made way before the ADA was enacted so this design flaw isn't on them. It's just a product of the time it was built.
I would recommend against having their orange and spice mocktail. It's not at all well balanced, is far too heavy on the bitters, and tastes neither of orange or spice. The server was super kind about taking the drink back when I let them know I wasn't in love with it, however.
A fun spot with unique waffle creations, friendly vibes, and playful touches like dinosaur toys make it a must-visit!

Waffle Wonderland at Sweet As Waffles!
If Willy Wonka ran a waffle shop, it would definitely be Sweet As Waffles. This place is a sugar-sprinkled dreamland where every waffle comes with a surprise — not just in flavor, but also a tiny toy dino tucked inside like a prehistoric prize. Yes, you read that right: waffles + dinosaurs = instant serotonin.
Their menu? Pure brilliance. Whether you’re in the mood for a sweet classic dripping in strawberries and whipped cream, or a savory stunner stacked with cheese, eggs, and bacon, they’ve got your cravings covered. Bonus: they even cater to our gluten-free friends with crispy, golden GF waffles that are just as magical.
A waffle shop that serves delicious food and gives you a toy with your meal? Sweet As Waffles isn’t just a treat — it’s a whole experience. 10/10 would eat again (and adopt another waffle dino).
Cute restaurant, but service was a tad lacking. That would be honestly fine, except I'm sensitive to gluten and asked for a gluten free bun, and am realizing a few hours later it was in fact, not gluten free. I did tell the server cross contamination was fine, but I didn't expect that'd mean I wouldn't be getting what I was needing.
A go-to spot for diverse dietary needs, this place impresses with flexibility, delicious flavors, and a menu to please everyone.

This is one of our favorite places to eat, as we can all eat here. Gluten free, vegan, spicy or mild - there is something for everyone. The staff and owner are lovely and kind. The food is delicious and I’ve never had a disappointing meal.
My friend and I ate lunch here on July 8. We only saw one person working the front counter and she was not very friendly. When I asked if I could have whole wheat for my pita bread choice, she acted frustrated with me and said, “I have the mixed kind…whole wheat and plain, is that okay?” I said it wasn’t because I had some gluten issues. I shouldn’t have to explain myself to a restaurant worker. I then asked if I could have gluten free. She said, “Yes.” I have issues also with dairy. True story. So I asked for, “No cheese.” She asked me a personal question, “Are you lactose intolerant? What symptoms do you have?” I said it gave me headaches.” She said, “Interesting.” That was not her business to pry like that. This young person needs to learn some simple manners in how to relate to people, especially an older person like me.
Also, the food turned out to be pretty bad. I got the BLT pita and the whole thing tasted “off”. Poor flavor and the bacon was over cooked.
The whole restaurant was dirty…tables were not wiped down. My friend and I found old, dried food on our table. The floor needed sweeping and mopping. It just appeared like no one cared.
Once I got home I washed my hands and arms really well with hot soap and water because who knows what kind of germs I could have picked up there.
There was a customer who came in and waited to be helped. She asked my friend and me, “Is anyone working here?” I told her there was a young woman who had waited on us and it appeared she was in the back of the restaurant somewhere. I suggested to the waiting customer to “phone” the restaurant to grab the woman’s attention. The customer waited for maybe 10 minutes, even rattled her keys to make noise. No one came out to help her. She finally walked out pretty disgusted. Way to go, Pita Pit. You lost a customer and a sale.
I know for sure I’ll never come back here to eat. I felt unsafe, the place was unclean and dirty, and the employee was rude and didn’t seem to care about the customers. Not good at all.
I don’t usually post bad reviews, but this experience was so unacceptable and so bad, I had to say something just for the sake of the greater good.
Enjoy stunning marina views while indulging in creative dishes and unique cocktails at this lively spot that’s perfect for any occasion.

The wait staff were wonderful and the breeze from the ocean was incredibly pleasant. Restaurant was a bit loud from the other guests but it's to be expected from a larger space.
A member of my party became ill after we expressed concern about a dietary restriction and cross contamination. This restaurant cooks with batter so it is likely that there was flour in the air and that is what caused the cross contamination but I would not recommend ordering here if you have celiac disease.
Additionally, an order of steak tacos (which is $20.90 for two tacos) was missing sauce on one taco and we didn't realize it in time to correct it because the one without sauce is the one that was eaten first.
I personally enjoyed my order which was the veggie tacos. They were quite tasty and another member of my party enjoyed the wild burger.

This is my first time here since they moved and pre-pandemic. The building is great there is an outside protected place semi closed in with heaters. The food is delicious. And they have a sangria with Prosecco that is delicious. The menu it doesn’t look gluten-free but they say they can make almost anything gluten-free. And I had a delicious potato crusted cod that was gluten-free. I can’t wait to go here again

Went to Homeschool BBQ for lunch on a Sunday with past clients and my husband. We were treated warmly by the owner himself and he was able to tell us all about his dishes and their ingredients. One of my past clients is gluten intolerant and the owner was so helpful in advising what she could eat and what she should stay away from. I got the brisket and it was delicious. The sides were perfect. Everyone loved their meal. It is so nice going to a restaurant where you know you’re supporting a local owner and your money is staying in the community. I highly recommend Homeschool BBQ and we will definitely be back again!
Great place to get some food and a drink before you flight. Food is always tasty and comes out quickly. Seems to be understaffed, service is good as it can be with how large their sections are.
Bartender seems novice. Drinks took longer then food. Great menu and selection with gluten free and dietary options for everyone.

April and her husband He are the best working team we have ever met.
The food always comes out piping hot(not with spice unless you like it spicey) .
The service is top notch.
The restaurant is always clean.
We are a gluten free couple that finds it hard to find great Chinese food in Bellingham that as more than 1 or 2 options to choose from.
Price is well worth the freshness and great taste of all their dishes.
Yes, if you order from the regular menu they charge $2 for rice but it's enough rice for 2 people plus.
The portions of the meals are big enough to take some home.

Absolutely divine experience! They have a rotating menu. They have lots of gluten and dairy free options (dessert too). They have yummy cocktails and some delicious mocktails as well! Highly recommend going here for a ladies night or date night. They can ben quiet during the week. Great service
I frquent Subway often, but the one on Guide Meridian and Laurel is one of the BEST. The customer service is top notch. I eat gluten free and they were the first to ever heat the bread first, it made a HUGE difference it wasn't all dry. Tonight I went there, it was on my way home. She was closing but graciously made me a sandwich. I thanked her for her kindness as I didn't get to eat dinner and it saved me a trip to Bellingham or Ferndale. Amazing customer service!

I have some very severe allergies Gluten, sea salt and seafood. These allergies make it very difficult to find places to eat that is safe and good. The person on the phone was extremely patient and kind she brought the phone with and asked the cheif directly. We could hear him over the phone and he was verbally discussing how he could make my dish and what he would substitute or leave out. I could not have the traditional pad Thai sauce but he seasoned the dish to his best ability. It was probably the most DELICIOUS food I've had in a very very long time. Will definitely eat here again. Very allergy friendly.

You will be hard pressed to find better Cajun food even in Louisiana. And never at a golf course where the usual fare is hot dogs - yes, they have dogs too.
My pal doesn’t like grits, but she could not keep her fork out of mine. Creamy, buttery deliciousness. Perfect heat in the sauces, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options.
It’s small, just 3 tables and 5 spots at the counter. Overlooks one of the most beautiful golf courses in the county. But at lunch on a weekend you will have to contend with golfers wandering in with muddy grassy shoes, but hey- you got this.
Really OMG - don’t miss this place. Superior cuisine. Get this - they fly the bread for the Po Boy sandwiches in from Louisiana!
We love El Agave!!! They've always given us fantastic service. They're really good about accommodating food allergies. I'm gluten sensitive and my kids are gluten sensitive and allergic to dairy. Not once have they batted an eye at needing to make necessary adjustments to our food. The owners also serve and even if we haven't been there for a while, it's like no time passed at all.
Their portion sizes are enough for the kids and I to have leftovers for at least 1 meal, though my husband usually finishes his.
I definitely recommend them!!!
Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly, attentive staff. I cannot eat gluten, and they helped me select safe menu items. Prices were very high. Not someplace I'd go regularly for that reason alone, but we very much enjoyed our dinner.

Went here for the first time and the food was fabulous, not sure if it’s close to what Cajun food is actually like but it was so flavorful and delicious! Well seasoned! Our waitress was amazing and constantly checked on us! I got the fried green tomatoes and the pork chops and it was all so delicious. My pork chop wasn’t dry at all. Brussels sprouts were beautifully seasoned! They are on the spending side but I don’t mind was worth it. I highly recommend this place! Well decorated place, lighting fits the atmosphere really well! They did have gluten free options as well!

My wife and I were visiting family in Fairhaven and they picked Avenue Bread for the five of us to grab lunch. Turns out, that was an excellent choice. My wife and I are both vegetarians and I was diagnosed Celiac last fall and there were plenty of options for both of us—including some amazing gluten free bread. The flavors were spot-on and and while I could have eaten two of those sandwiches without blinking, I might just do that next time we’re in town.

I often am searching for new places to try. I am gluten free and I am always in search of food that I don't make well at home. Most places offer the same thing, but this place has dishes that are very simply to turn gluten free, where most restaurants just don't. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were hand crafted. Nice atmophere, with a view of their distillery. We will definatley be going back.
Very reasonably priced.

Definitely worth going here! Staff was extra helpful and friendly, atmosphere was very cool. Food was yummy. Would recommend the blueberry lemonade. They make it with fresh lemons and blueberries. It is sour but you can ask them to make it sweet, if you prefer sweet. Gluten free options are a plenty. Some outdoor seating, but mostly indoor.
