Great gluten free options!

Great gluten free options and very family friendly— my niece and nephew each wolfed down an adult sized waffle while I enjoyed the Queen. Definitely recommend for family brunches, the boisterous atmosphere is warm and welcoming even while you’re waiting to be seated.

BEST GLUTEN FREE BUN OF MY FRICKIN LIFE 🫶🤝💖✨🦈💺😀

The staff was friendly and courteous, but the food fell way short of my expectations, considering the high ratings. If you have gluten allergies, be cautious. While they claim to offer numerous gluten-free options, the selection is limited. It’s also doubtful that they use a separate fryer to cook their gluten-free selections. The most you can get, apart from falafel, is a baba ganoush “platter”, which is more like a medium-sized serving of baba ganoush with sliced dill pickle and 4 small pieces of pickled vegetables. Additionally, Baba’s Bakery may not be a safe choice for those with gluten sensitivities. I was informed by a staff member that a cookie was gluten-free, but it turned out to be made with semolina, which contains gluten. In short, this place is overhyped and way too expensive.

Simple and well executed food. I greatly appreciate that they now explicitly label their dishes as gluten free on their menus.

William Dee

Great food and not expensive. Had gluten free pancakes for my wife. Had to find those anywhere!!

Chelsea Crooks

Delicious Gluten free cake, and the owner is super friendly and easy to work with!

Austin O'Dwyer

Had the pork souvlaki gyro and it was fantastic. The best Greek food I've had hands down. Great customer service too! The owner came outside, welcomed us in, and catered to our gluten free/food intolerances. 10/10 recommend

This place is amazing! They have wonderful gluten free options, a cozy atmosphere, and the staff is always attentive and sweet. The gluten free peanut butter ball with sesame seeds was delicious! We also had a blueberry green tea refresher which was perfect for a hot summer day. I wish I lived closer because I'd be going all the time!

Very nice people, I ordered the nachos (gluten-free!) and since they were out of Jackfruit and I can’t eat gluten or soy. The options were Jackfruit, Seitan (which I didn’t know what it was but apparently it is vital wheat gluten. No thanks I have Celiac), so I got extra beans. The cheese and sour cream is made with cashews. The whole restaurant is Vegan, I am not but saw the menu and found gluten-free and soy free options and since it is vegan I don’t have to worry about dairy products. Oh my goodness the nachos were so good, it’s a good thing I got the mild because they were a little bit spicy so the spicy nachos would have been too much. I will definitely be back. The atmosphere is super cool too, the walls are painted by a local artist with flowers. My Mom ordered the BBQ Chic salad and she thought it contained chicken, she was confused when I told her there wasn’t because the restaurant was entirely vegan.

We held a come and go 70th birthday party on site with a fair amount of decorations, a cake table, balloons, selfie wall decorations, and a good amount of drink choices. The space was perfect for 50 people. We moved some tables and stacked chairs so there was plenty of space to stand and talk, yet plenty of places to sit too. I would suggest scheduling more than half an hour for set up as we ran out of time before guest arrived. There is a great spot to decorate for taking selfies and group pictures (see photo). A few games were provided which came in handy for entertaining elementary age children. The charcuterie spread for 50 was gorgeous! (See photos) We took a good amount home. The remaining part of the counter was great for drinks! Two drink dispensers were provided for us to use. Emails with questions were responded to promptly. Kayla is professional, kind, helpful, and great to work with as are those who assist her. Vegan options are available. If you need gluten free crackers, bring your own. We would choose not to do our own cleanup if doing this again.

This place is so cute and has a really calm vibe! The food and pastries (gluten free options are available) are delicious, the service prompt and friendly. This is true hidden gem of south KC, check it out, you will be so glad you did!

Paul Kubicki

They have the best gluten-free cakes! Girlfriend and her son have celiac disease and they love them.

Thank you for the wonderful experience. We had Elliott as our waiter, and we have a lot to say about him. He was top tier. Professional through and through. He said that he wanted me to try the 6 hour roasted pork shank to impress me, but turned out you had just sold out. No worries, because you guys were impressive the moment we walked in the door. His attitude, social skills, hospitality, doing the unexpected, attention to detail, and work ethic is rare and it shined throughout the night. You can immediately tell that he cares and wants to elevate your experience. The food was great, but Elliott, made everything that much better. We will definitely be asking to be seated with him so long as he works there. Jasper, thank you for meeting with us and discussing the gluten-free, dairy free options, sharing conversation and being so kind and genuine. It’s pretty cool to see you going around checking in with the customers and striking conversations with everybody. Thank you for taking care of us. We will definitely be back. No doubt about it.

Always love Barrio! They've got some great gluten-free and vegetarian options, particularly the jack fruit enchiladas. It's also super cool to offer one of the daily specials with a veggie protein (jack fruit tacos for happy hour). Not many places have a vegetarian special every day! Add to it the amazing skinny margs (try coconut), you've got yourself an amazing after-work happy hour spot! Chips and cheese are spot on, too!

Christian Lenz

Pretty good, beat our expectations. Will have to visit a 2nd time. The Greek Nachos were quite a hit with me, and my wife was pleased to get a sandwich on a gluten-free bun that was not dry and crumbly.

Serena Smith

Great local place with lots of options, including gluten free and vegetarian/vegan.

Marilyn Lynch

Pleasant atmosphere, reasonably priced based on the food quality, excellent service. Gluten Free Menu!

Elizabeth Tustison

Quick service, tasty burgers, as someone with Celiac, I appreciate that they offer protein style so that I can get a bunless burger.
