Absolutely amazing! The staff is thoroughly trained and managers bring allergies to the table. They even use a black napkin under allergy plates as a signal to all employees that the dish is an allergy. They use casarecce GF pasta - so they can know it’s GF just by looking at it. I felt incredibly safe eating here, and I got an almond flour cannoli!

Ordered ‘shroom burger (amazing), with spicy crinkle cut fries (way too spicy, even for a Korean), and Shake Shack burger with a gluten free bun (the gf bun didn’t fall apart, which is rare!). Lots of seating at this location.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Luke’s! They have gluten free options too! I had the GF seafood sandwich flight with lobster bisque and it was delicious! I don’t know how that bread is so soft and still GF! My non GF spouse really enjoyed his meal as well. Service was super friendly. Lots of locals eating there.

My daughter and I had lunch here a couple weeks ago. We sat outside where we experienced a very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Our waiter was Wilmar. He was polite, professional, and checked multiple times to make sure we were happy. The food was AMAZING! My daughter had the Wild Mushroom Ravioli (which she loved) and I had the Margherita pizza with a gluten free crust. The menu states it is a personal-size pizza, but it was so big, I had to share it with my daughter. This pizza tasted just like the one I had in Positano Italy. So authentic! They also have wine pairings which is a really nice touch. We did not have room for dessert, but tried anyway. My daughter had Clelia's Limoncello which is Lemon Gelato with a Limoncello liqueur center, meringue sprinkles, and lady fingers. She said it was so good! I had the Warm Chocolate Torta (which is flourless) served with ice cream. That was really delicious! Also, it was so nice to have gluten free options. We are definitely coming back again soon.

Can’t stress this enough: make a reservation. Our 30 minute wait turned into an hour. To be fair, it was very much worth the wait, but save yourself time and plan ahead! Tried several different things, and none of them disappointed. Halloumi shakshuka, baked salmon, side of delicious potatoes, wine, tea selection - everything was done very well. Extra thankful for the delicious gluten-free bread option that didn’t suck - delicious fluffy roll, freshly toasted amd YUM!!

Nice cafe with a bunch of gluten-free snack options that have come in handy for me. Coffee and tea drinks are all good, but not standout. Can be hard to find a place to sit as it is always pretty crowded. However, we've always been able to get a place to sit without too much of a wait when we decide to stay. I had the gluten-free chocolate tart, which was rich, chocolaty, and not too sweet. The London fog was acceptable but seemed a bit underbrewed as the earl grey didn't come through strong enough for my taste

I LOVED THIS PLACE!!! The host team was helpful when I needed to change my reservation time, which saved me some stress. I felt accommodated before even stepping foot into the building. I made a trip to Boston in search of a great scallop dish, and Atlantic Fish did not disappoint. Tim, my server, gave incredible recommendations for options on the menu. He was also extremely attentive and aware when it came to celiac needs. The gluten free bread was exceptional and the dish was worth every penny. I loved that the dish came with two sides so I had the chance to try a few options. The sparkling moscato was refreshing and the crème brûlée was the perfect cherry on top of the meal. Tim helped find some local gluten free spots for the rest of my trip, which was extremely helpful and locked in Atlantic Fish’s spot on my itinerary next time I am in town!

Super bummed they stopped making the chicky sandwiches. They offer chicky wraps but those cannot be made gluten free. I loved the chicky sandwiches on the potato buns (spicey, regular, parm) and really hope they bring them back to the menu soon. The hamburgers are not very good and require you to finish cooking them at home.

First time around, it's a bit confusing since you give your order so quickly, but after that it's definitely easier. I like that they state which items are vegan, gluten, dairy, etc. These markings makes it so much easier for those with food restrictions. I will recommend the chicken because it's amazing with how tender and soft it is, plus it's a good pairing with basically everything. One bowl was under $12 (at the time of this post), so it is a pretty good price.

We found our way here because of its gluten free recommendations. And I'm told they did not disappoint. In fact, we went here on back to back days because of its selections and overall freshness of the food. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing + love the exposed white brick walls and the displays of sweets is pretty stunning. We enjoyed sandwiches, desserts, cappuccinos-- everything was delicious. Wishing we had one here in Toronto to be honest! Such a great spot.

A little cramped, but the food is pretty good. I’m celiac and i was so excited to learn they had gluten free cones :). for something gluten free they were very good! i got the yogurt flavor and tiramisu (also gluten free, all the flavors are!!!) and it was soooo good. sad to see all the bad reviews on the staff, it was very busy when i went but everyone who was working was very nice too me. they seem understaffed but as someone in food service they were doing a great job, i think a lot of the reviews come from people who don’t work food service… the guy who helped me (dude with all the piercings) was really sweet and was really nice about my allergy and was very helpful with making me feel like my food would be safe. so hard to find celiac friendly places in boston, totally coming back this summer :)

It looks like a fast food restaurant but it isn't for the simple fact that they take a while to bring you food. The ingredients are probably of slightly higher quality than normal fast food and you can feel it but they don't have branded drinks (coca for example is a sub brand or produced by them). Celiac/gluten-free/gluten free/non-gluten sandwich and chips option with possible contamination (but no problems encountered).
