This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants! Make sure to try their bacon wrapped dates. My wife loves their gluten free bread. Bon appetite!

Great place if you are Gluten Free! They are very aware of cross contamination & Celiac disease. Our waiter took the time to go over the menu with me & give me details to ease my mind.

Gluten Free pizza was wonderful. First thick crust I’ve had in YEARS!!

Sue Slattery

Fantastic food! We stopped by on the way to Chicago and the Italian beef sandwich on a gluten-free bun was phenomenal! The fries are great too!

Candy Respress

We have been here 3 times now and it is amazing! They will check for gluten free items for you! There is a lot to choose from for gluten free! Amazing corn tortillas!!

Sugar Mama made our wedding cake and mini cupcakes for the reception, and we loved the outcome! Sugar Mama was easy and professional to work with and the cake and cupcakes tasted great. They also made great gluten free and vegan cupcakes for our guests.

Found out about this new coffee shop/bakery and thought I’d give it a try. The barista informed me that while they cannot say they are certified gluten free, they try everything possible to avoid cross contamination. He was extremely nice and friendly! Would definitely come back!

I love the gluten free options!

When I walked in I loved the environment. The music was very up beat and the decorations bring the place to life and makes it very welcoming. Then we were welcomed by the very sweet lady at the front desk, and she explained how the menu works, and did confirm that the rice noodles were gluten free. There is a Chinese and Indian side to their menu. I got the chicken stir fry with Mongolia sauce. It is very very good and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Thank you SOOOO much for having safe and delicious gluten free options!! I have celiac disease and it’s so hard to find a safe meal while traveling, so I was soooo happy to find this place on my road trip. Not only was the food delicious, but I did not get sick. They went above and beyond to cater to my unique needs and did it all with a smile and great service. If I was local, I’d eat here weekly. Thanks again 💜

The pizza here is really good. Ingredients taste fresh. Their Italian sausage is flavorful with just a tiny kick. Sauce is a good balance, not too sweet yet not bland at all. Gluten free crust option is so good that you will not even notice that it's gluten free. Hands down, best gluten free crust in town.

Kevin Randles

Caitlyn is an amazing Waitress. We were a little nervous being away from home and dining out for the first time after my son was diagnosed with celiac disease. Caitlyn explained to us what gluten-free options were available and how cross contamination would be avoided. My son enjoyed his meal, and we all enjoyed a Wonderful meal out. Thank you so much

Culver's is one of the few places that provides a gluten-free bun option. So appreciated!

Alexis Snow

ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THIS WORLD! I get their butchers choice skillet with gluten free toast. Their GF toast is INCREDIBLE as well! I recommend everyone to stop in and get a glass of orange juice as well!

Ray Burg

Excellent Thin crust gluten free pizza. Always great taste with many different toppings. Never been disappointed.

Delicious pizza that is light and fluffy while not being bread and gluten heavy. High quality ingredients and fantastic flavors make this pizza the best I've ever had! Make sure to try the authentic Italian coffee as well, it's outstanding!

Amanda Seguin

Love this place! I have celiac disease and order a bowl. All of the choices to put in your bowl are clearly marked for allergies. So many gluten free choices. You can’t beat the flavors here either!

Tommy Mac

I would describe the food as artisan yet unpretentious. I had the seared tuna special and was quite impressed. They have a great gluten free menu. Atmosphere is cozy and romantic. Service was friendly and attentive.

Valerie Wright

Epiphany farms is quite possibly the best restaurant I've ever been to. The food is outstanding and I love how they note on the menu the dietary specifics like gluten free. I've got Celiac and I love that I don't have to ask. They also have several gluten free options which is so awesome. The customer service is also the best I've ever experienced... From the wait staff to the management... There's not a piece that's out of place. Chef Ryan is a phenomenal cook and Chef Ken is so personable. Feels like family! Epiphany is literally the best!

Kirk Hansen

Fantastic Flavors! They were very attentive to my gluten allergy.

Tommy Mac

It might not be considered a "destination", but it's certainly a local institution. And it's easy to see why. The donuts and pastries are fresh, the dining area is clean and the staff is friendly. Hands down, they make the best old fashioned style donuts. The danish are flaky and tasty. Coffee is pretty good. They do have gluten free options, but they aren't always available Be careful of their boxes if you are ordering multiple donuts as the cardboard is a bit flimsy.

Love you Gluten-free options

Friendly and relatable staff. Any place that offers fresh baked goods from savory to sweet for you and your furry friends is worth checking out. The baked goods: You’ll want to try it all if you can, and the prices are great. There’re gluten free options that vary weekdays, different specials of bread, muffins, cookies and more. They’ve got coffee, too! Multiple flavors, reasonably priced and gives you a reason to poke around and see the jams, batters, doughs and apparel. All and all a fun spot to check out. It feels homely to go into. Not a sitting place but absolutely a welcoming one. Be sure to grab a punch card to earn a free loaf of bread!

Paul Gurke

Awesome gluten free pizza!

Faye Freeman-Smith

Good coffee, only 2 gluten-free regular bake goods options.

In the summer of 2016, I visited this store to buy 18 organic avocados for my mother's now permanently-closed vegan, organic, gluten-free, allergen-free restaraunt, Take A Bite. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I only grabbed four or five actually organic avocados and the rest were regular avocados. Yeah, because I took off all the stickers that made the difference glaringly obvious to "help" stock them in the kitchen later. On my way out of the store a twenty-something South Asian man propositioned me inappropriately in the parking lot. He was still kind of lingering around when I hastily drove off, so who knows? Maybe that guy still does that. But anyway, it wasn't Schnucks or their avocados' fault my mother's restaurant went out of business. She's just really bad with money.

Co-ops often confuse people, so they compare it to a chain grocery like HyVee or Walmart. This store is currently carrying products from 74 LOCAL farmers (defined as within 100 miles of the store) which means their produce is fresher AND has more nutrients because it hasn't sat on a truck for weeks. Back when the store opened, prices were admittedly high (which many old reviews have noted) but the last 6 months or so have seen serious price drops AND more sales, plus additional sales for owners. (BTW, if you're not familiar with co-ops, anyone can become an owner by putting in some equity. It's open to everyone to shop, but owners get extra perks). Shopping in this store is an EXPERIENCE, and one unlike any chain grocery. The staff are delightful and eager to answer questions and help. They know all the regular shoppers, and share recommendations, etc. On any given day you'll run into friends in the aisles, see a kids' cooking class happening in the teaching kitchen, go sit on the patio and enjoy a sandwich, discover a new gluten-free product, try samples of some in-season local veg... you just never know. Grocery shopping is now something my husband and I gladly do several times a week, vs. the old 'ugh, can YOU do it this time??' before there was a Green Top in our community. Something new people may want to know: TUESDAYS are Taco Tuesdays so anything you can fit in a hardshell taco is $1. Lots of local ingredients to choose form. THURSDAYS has salsa verde with either chicken or jackfruit (amazing. seriously) and FRIDAY is Penne for Pennies, where you can fill a plate with pasta and housemade sauce with local sausage for just $4. Or do half pasta/half salad for $4. That's a pretty great price for lunch or dinner, with fresh/local/organic ingredients. And if all that isn't enough, consider: after 18 months being opened, this store has contributed almost $19,000 back to local human services organizations, has allowed many local small farms to increase their production, hire more staff, pay better wages, and more. THAT'S what a co-op does... versus feed stockholders and CEOs halfway across the country. This store isn't too expensive, the Walmarts of the world have skewed our perception of what REAL food REALLY costs. And the results are bankrupt family farms, broken food infrastructure, a shrinking middle class, and a thriving 1%. This co-op is a piece of the solution, but we as consumers have to be willing to make change happen ourselves: Rethink food. Rethink priorities. Rethink how you spend your money so it's helping your entire community!

Cozy little cat café inside what used to be Hair Stadium. Signage outside is still out of date as of late September, though at least there is *also* now a small sign in the window signaling this is The Cat's Meow rather than just hoping you know not to expect a salon, like a kitty speakeasy. You go around the screened-in room with the cats to the barista counter in the back, sign a waiver basically stating you won't harass the cats (yes, you need to sign this for *every* visit), and pay a $5 cover charge *per person* (can reserve a spot/pay online in advance to not have to wait, but it's nonrefundable as a donation toward the care of the cats, and I've already had to miss a reservation due to being sick) plus the cost of whatever you'd like to order from the café. The online reservation system has had hiccups due to inconveniently timed outages on Square's end, and it's annoying to have to submit multiple times for each individual person if you're bringing a family. Short of coding a new system from scratch, though, I'm not sure how they'd do better. For the menu, they have locally sourced vegan and gluten-free options for baked goods! I was also pleasantly surprised to find they have an oat milk based cold foam, a delightful topping on an iced drink for a hot day. There are also non-coffee options like tea and lemonade if you're not the coffee type (or are bringing a kid, for example). All the cats are adoptable via applying through Pet Central Helps; since there is an application process, you're not going to walk out with a cat same-day, but they've had pretty good response and turnaround times of only a couple days as I've observed. After not even being open a month, TCM has already helped Pet Central Helps find homes for 14 cats! I don't recommend the time slots toward the last hour of the day, as there tends to be more people and the cats are pretty much done/in need of a break so won't be as social as if you get in earlier in the day.

Tobin's comes through!! I had a carry out order Friday and they didn't put half of the order in the oven. Manager apologized profusely and the counter guy (wearing the Sox hat) apologized profusely. We all agreed "things happen". Tobins for the win! Thank you for great customer care. (And thank you for having a gluten free pizza.)

Bobbie Schertz

Love their gluten free pizza

Clarissa Brooks

Candice and her team are amazing. She was very thorough and straightforward about everything on our first call. I’m not a visionary, so I let her take the reigns once I answered her questions. I had sooooo many compliments on my flowers and cake. The tasting box was an amazing assortment. My husband and I wanted every flavor. They were all delicious. I usually hate carrot cake, but I fell in love with her version! We also got the same cake in gluten free and you seriously could not tell the difference. The cake froze very well and tasted just as good as it did originally 1 year later!! You can’t go wrong with with Pollen and Pastry.

Eryn De Los Reyes

The food was great. The gluten free pizza was good, not on the buffet. The people were nice. They're going for a western style so everything is wood or dark colors and the air was on artic.

Faye Freeman-Smith

Friendly staff, great food. Wish more item on the menue was gluten free. One of my favorites

Sofia Wilson

Unique and tasty selections of wines— reasonably priced too. We all ordered the large charcuterie board, duck flatbread, and chicken vesuvio for dinner, panna cotta for dessert. The chicken vesuvio and panna cotta were to die for, and the service was great! Everyone enjoyed their food. Very gluten free friendly. A great find for dinner and wine in central IL!

Jim Monaghan

Brian Huonker

Delicious gluten free pizza. Good selection of local craft beers, though not much in the gluten free class.

Brianna Winkers

I just adore this coffee shop. The employees are just the sweetest! They even have gluten free options for snacks!

Linda Ellerman

They have delicious popcorn in a variety of flavors from sweet to savory. Lots of gluten-free choices!

Laura Sandoval

This is the first time I have been inside their shop. Customer service was great, even to my three year old who wanted to try to get into everything. Loved the different options of brats that shows which one has gluten, milk, soy and eggs. Definitely helps in a gluten, milk, and soy free household like we have. Lots of options for us to try. So far we have tried three brats, and they were great. Going to try another couple different ones. Makes a good family dinner to vote on which one they like best at that moment..lol. also got some steaks, and they were absolutely great, couldn't get the season ones because of our allergens, but we used our own seasons and meat was very tender. Will definitely be going back to try different type of brats.

Michael Ragen

Great food in a cool space with nice staff. They were nice enough to go over the menu and help explain the gluten free options for my wife and explained their procedures to prevent allergic reactions.

Siarra Ilene

I love ordering from them! My orders have always been on time, the drivers are pleasant and the food is great! I love that they carry gluten free pizza crust. Keep up the great work, Dominos!!

jeannie barrett

Most flavorful Indian food we've ever had. Absolutely delicious and super friendly service. Great gluten free and vegetarian options.

Nick Nichols

This is hands down my favorite lunch spot in Bloomington. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is amazing, and it's accommodating to every food allergy / special diet I've encountered so far (including vegan/vegetarian, gluten free,and corn allergy). I've had it for lunch, dinner, take out, and even twice in the same day.

Kathy Parrish

It's home to my family. My husband, who has Celiac disease can have wings there because they aren't breaded and not cooked with the breeder items.

Kylie Young

Ordering for delivery tonight (via Doordash). HOLY YUM!!! We ordered a few things bc we haven't eaten much Indian food so we wanted a selection to try. Everything was delicious! Love that gluten free options are clearly marked on the website. So excited for these leftovers!

Dustin Zimmerman

It's so good! Don't let the prices intimidate you either. A large deep dish pizza will really serve 4-6. I wouldn't suggest eating more than two slices ine one meal. It's so good you'll want to though! They have thin crust, but I wouldn't recommend unless you are getting the gluten free pizza. My wife says it is one of the best gluten free pizzas she has ever had.
