Delicious gluten free eats and amazing coffee, atmosphere, and workers!

Lynn Sanguedolce

This is a fun place to go with great gluten free options for Italian food. My server had celiac disease and was very knowledgeable. I have been here a few times and not had any problems here.

I ordered from JP Pastry’s as a gift for my aunt who’s gluten-free, and she absolutely loved every single treat! It can be tough to find gluten-free baked goods that actually taste good, but she couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was—especially the cinnamon rolls. The ordering process was super easy and convenient. I also noticed how many people mention the kind, thoughtful service—and I experienced that firsthand. The team really seems to care, and that makes a big difference. Bonus points for being a dog-friendly bakery! I’ll definitely be ordering again—whether for my aunt or myself!

Sara Scanlon

A gluten free paradise. Delightful service, incredible food with locally sources ingredients, and unique vibe.

Holy smokes, Batman! As someone who often struggles to find great food options (especially gluten-free), Irregardless blew me away. Our waitress—whose name I regretfully forgot, and it’s not on my receipt—was phenomenal. I told her I was torn between a few choices, and she confidently recommended the Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich (GF). Honestly? One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in over 12 years. Crispy, flavorful, and totally worth the hype. 🌱 They accommodate a ton of dietary restrictions. 🍽️ Portion sizes? Generous. 🌿 Food? Incredibly fresh and delicious. 🏡 Location? Adorable. 🚗 Parking? A bit tricky, but it’s the only “meh” part. 🪑 Inside? Cozy, charming, and quiet enough to actually enjoy a conversation. If you’re in Raleigh and want something amazing, run—don’t walk—to Irregardless.

If you are GF, this is the place; everything is gluten-free. We happened upon the summer menu filled with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the cheddar biscuits, the beet appetizer, the braised short ribs, finished with the chocolate torte. Unique selection of cocktails, and the wine menu is extensive. My glass of Malbec was very good. Service was attentive, personable, yet not always in your space. Highly recommend!

Delicious gluten free fried rice

Stephanie Garcia

English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have loved it every time! They are allergy-friendly, 100% gluten-free, and are willing to make accommodations. They have this vegan cilantro sauce that is phenomenal. I’ve gotten the vegan beyond arepa with avacados, lettuce, and Fritos. The rice and beans (the beans depend on who is making it; there have been some inconsistencies there), but everything else is good. I also love their fresh juices. The passionfruit one is my favorite. English and Spanish: I have been to this restaurant several times and have always loved it.

This place is awesome! the gluten free bolognese is incredible and they made a dairy free substitution for my allergies!!

Meg Cosgrove

Everything was wonderful. They were able to work with our food allergies without issue. They accommodated gluten free, nut free, and even a garlic free guest! Room is beautiful, staff was on top of everything, would definitely recommend.

James Mickey

Plant Cakes Bake Shop is a wonderful place for Gluten-free and Vegan treat options. Food is made in-house. Overall a nice little shop and friendly people!

Michele Stanley

FULLY GLUTEN FREE RESTAURANT 🤩 We’ve been frequenting BIBIBOP in Cary since it has opened. Most all gluten free people know gluten free Asian foods are few and far between. This place is DELICIOUS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I describe it like an Asian chipotle in set-up. You go through line and build a bowl. VERY FRESH and clean ingredients. Tasty teas and lemonades. Yummy free miso soup. Friendly staff and clean space. 10/10 recommend (I promise there is healthy greens under our toppings in the pictures lol)

So I have autoimmune disease called Celiac Disease and that means gluten and me do not get along at all. This place has great gluten free reviews and was super excited coming here. Well now I am about ready to lose my mind. I asked my usual questions concerning gluten free items and preparations for their food/drinks. I ordered a CIDER and got served a BEER without hesitation. This is actually absurd. When somebody asks you about gluten free items and safety precautions and then immediately within 2 minutes get served a gluten containing item, it’s just actually ridiculous. The server was apologetic and kind but not knowing the difference between beer and cider is disheartening.

Nicole Reina

Wonderful food with a variety of health-conscious options including gluten free and dairy free, including their desserts. We loved it so much we went back twice in the same day haha. Parking is the only challenge, but the food and very friendly service makes it worth it. Highly recommend!

Mary Claire Barnes

Ask for the GF pita bread!

Bonita T

Great tasting gluten free fried chicken and friendly atmosphere.

My husband and I frequent Old Europe for their delicious cakes and coffee, so when it came time to pick a vendor for our wedding desserts, it was an easy choice! Abby helped us choose a variety of small cake flavors, and made sure each one was gluten free (I have celiac disease). She also walked us through customizing a larger cake for the two of us. Everything turned out beautiful, and our guests raved about how pretty and delicious our desserts were. Also of note- our original wedding was the day after Hurricane Helene. Old Europe made it super easy to reschedule for our new date!

My husband and I chose Strada for our wedding rehearsal dinner catering. Our wedding was originally the weekend of Hurricane Helene, but even amidst the chaos, the Strada catering team got in contact with us to communicate that their kitchen was down, and issued a prompt refund. When we rescheduled our wedding for June 2025, we reached out to see if they would be able to provide catering- this time, my husband was on a strict dairy, soy, gluten and egg free elimination diet. The Strada team worked with us to ensure he had a meal he could safely eat, and also worked to accommodate the vegetarians in our wedding party and my celiac disease. They clearly labeled every allergen, which made everything much easier when we served the catering at our venue- and the food was delicious. We were Strada fans before, but now we’re Strada stans! Highly recommend them for your catered event.

Kolin McKelvey

Food was good. We got their beignets and some breakfast stacker crepes. My Celiac wife forgot to tell them that she was gluten free so they had to remake the dish for her. They were very nice about it. Only reason for lack of star was server wasn’t very attentive and forgot silverware

Deb Ren

Great pizza and rice pudding! Also the staff was excellent. We meant to order a gluten free pizza and forgot until the pizza came out. When we let the staff know, they so kindly made our gluten free order; no fuss.

Alexi Moutafis

It's a good place to eat. The service is typically great. The food and drinks are what they should be. I would classify this as a new-school Greek diner. A very casual, inexpensive, sit-down restaurant with a huge variety on the menu to suit a wide variety of tastes. We have many similar restaurants in the northeast. Some of my family members have celiac (gluten allergy) and Bernie's has done a great job both with preparation as well as variety. I have one complaint: my gyro platter only had 3 kalamata olives on it! Μαλακίες!

Great gluten free food at a reasonable price!

Ferawyns has an outstanding selection of gluten-free pastries, baked goods, and chocolates—truly some of the best I’ve found. Every item I’ve tried is a winner, and the quality is consistently top-notch. That said, it’s hard to overlook the atmosphere created by the owner. I’ve been a loyal customer for some time now, and unfortunately, I’ve witnessed repeated moments where the staff are spoken to harshly and with open condescension, even in front of customers. The kitchen may not be soundproof, but you wouldn’t know it based on how freely negative comments are made—about both staff and patrons. In one instance, I asked if a particular item was still available because I loved it and hoped to bring some home for my family. The staff member kindly checked, only to be met with a biting, “Of course they are asking that,” from the kitchen. The attitude was unmistakable—and unprovoked, only to be topped off with her coming out of the kitchen to glare at me and then go back. It saddens me to see how the warmth of the front-of-house staff has shifted over time. Once cheerful and engaging, they now seem anxious and on edge. I can’t help but think how much stronger this business could be if the internal environment matched the joy and care poured into the food. I want to keep supporting Ferawyns because the products truly shine. But I’d feel far better doing so if I knew the people behind the counter were being treated with the same respect and dignity their work deserves—and that Joana viewed customers as supporters rather than wallets that shouldn't speak.

Hands down my favorite place for gluten free pizza! They are very accommodating to gluten free customers. Not only do they have gluten free pizza crust but they also have vegan cheese 😍 They have specific pizzas that can be prepared certified gluten free as shown on the menu. Some ingredients vary by location so be sure to double check. Sometimes I venture out and build my own pizza but I always verify which ingredients are safe. They also have individually wrapped gluten free brownies for dessert!

Bethany Bishop

Celiac friendly. The staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination and were able to highlight everything on the menu that I could eat. Delicious food and good atmosphere.

Javaree Walker

There are limited gluten-free options, but the other options were good!

N Dunn

Good coffee. Fantastic gluten free goodies. Great service. Prices very fair. Lovely atmosphere.

Connor Butterfield

My favorite brewery! As someone who is gluten free this is a hidden GEM!

Riley Downs

Accidentally gave me gluten free bread with my hummus, which was a better gluten free option than most, but still a far cry from the pita pocket I ordered. Chicken shawarma, humus is decent but not stand out, the real pita was pretty good, but apparently a roulette.

Parish Wolfe

Bida Manda is amazing. I go there regularly and it’s always a good experience. They have a lot of gluten free options and the menu is well marked for gluten.

Gijs Aarden

Great selection, fresh bread (organic) and friendly staff. There are many gluten free options. It was a little pricey, but you get a nice meal for it!

Lizz Newing

Love the gluten free options! The specialty lattes are on point. Customer service was great and the ambiance was both comfortable and eclectic. The library is a delight. There are places to work, converse, read and listen to music. Highly recommend!

Ed D'Urso

Excellent gluten-free crepes. Excellent espresso. Grateful for the packaging as well. No styrofoam.

Shanah Bell

There aren't enough words to say how fantastic this local grocery store is! Not only do they do their best to source locally, but they have a ton of Gluten Free and Plant-Based Vegan options to choose from. They have a juice bar in the back, as well as a decent dog section. The brands that they carry for pet food is top notch. And they carry local Fox Farms & Forage mushrooms to boot. I got lucky enough to end up being one of the owners and she is highly knowledgeable and friendly. All of the staff that I ran across in the store were the same. When it comes to grocery shopping, this is definitely going to be one of my regular go-to's, even though it's not as close to me. If you haven't checked this place out yet, you are definitely missing out!

Shaun Provost

Their head chef is actually celiac, so very knowledgeable! The food is delicious and the atmosphere here is unmatched. As long as you share your allergies, they are very accommodating and knowledgeable in how to keep you safe!

Season Moore

Absolutely delicious and so many gluten free options. Food comes out so fast, you barely think it before it’s on your table. Will absolutely be back!

Amy Reeder

10/10 the cookies were so good! Even my non gluten husband and toddlers loved it!

Elizabeth Smith

Wanted to love it but…we both got sick My husband ordered the lasagna. It was mushy and covered in sauce, when my husband scraped off the sauce topping it revealed a black top layer that was disgusting and left us both feeling queasy and wondering just how long that lasagna had been in the walk-in. If you are celiac, I wouldn’t trust the gf pasta here. I had a reaction after dining here last night that left me wondering if the gf pasta was boiled in cross contaminated water 🤷🏻‍♀️ The noodles were over cooked and not that great even before my belly swole to the size of an 8 month pregnancy. In retrospect, this is a kitchen nightmare and we wouldn’t have been surprised if Gordon Ramsay popped out around the corner while we were dining there. That being said the front of the house was nice and handled our complaint professionally.

Cara

Jersey was our waitress and absolutely was amazing. We came with 3 children and she did everything to make sure the whole family was happy. You can’t find great waitresses like her anymore but she goes over and beyond to ensure her customers are well taken care of. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful experience. Our family is gluten free so going to a breakfast place with gluten free pancakes/ waffles is really a treat for us. Not only are they gluten free but they are so delicious to eat!

Rocked socks

Bad food for the price. Only really good as a gluten free option, but even then it's still very expensive for what you get. Pancakes suck too.

Warren Childers

I have been lots of time and the Armored Cow is a great place to grab a cold beer. They have a wide variety of different beers including sours and gluten free beers. And there is always some new flavor to try. Friendly staff and plenty of seating. There is a good food truck there as well.

Emily K

It is so cute (not at all a dive) inside! They are very knowledgeable about gluten and have many options. The fried chicken was delicious and I really liked the fries. They also have fun cocktails, and my friends enjoyed their meals as well.

Amir Ahmed Khan

The best gluten-free pizza in town! I’ve tried it twice and loved it — tasty, soft, and moist. There’s usually a long line, but it’s totally worth the wait!

Diane Eblin

GF hash brown waffles and buckwheat crepes. Yum

Amber Easterling

Lots of gluten free options that are listed on the menu. They also offer gluten free buns for any burgers or sandwiches!

Kimberly Davis

The best Gluten free breakfast around! I drive an hour to come here and I’m never disappointed

Angela Gilliam

We've been twice and it is just so good. The gluten-free biscuits. You have to ask yourself if they really are. They are that good.

Lupita S-O'Brien

Had some awesome Cod/fish & chips. So good! My husband is celiac and they had a whole separate menu for him. He had the bean vegetarian burger which was also delicious.

Kaitlin Kobrenski

Donutz was delish!
