Heather Coupland

My favorite bakery! The cinnamon buns & egg sandwiches are unlike anywhere else. Love having access to safe & tasty GF treats!

Kelsey Battista

hidden gem!! cute diner with tons of gluten free options. I let the server know of my gluten allergy, the staff were very knowledgeable. the buckwheat chocolate chip pancakes were delicious- even my non gluten free husband loved! definitely recommend making a pit stop here

Andrea O'Blenes

Great gluten free deserts: cupcakes and the vegan apple coffee cake.

Alexandra V

Celiac Friendly!

Heather Coupland

Great menu, so many options can be made gluten free. Obsessed with the onion rings!

Martha Rogers

Gluten free heaven!

Austin Lieto

Very good for celiac

Taryn

If you are in need of vegan or gluten free options that actually taste great, this is the spot for you!

Laurie Jambor

My celiac daughter and I are never disappointed with the treats we get here!! So delicious!!

Richard Onofrio

We went there with our 13 yo who has celiac and got the gluten free pizza and no issues at all… it’s very hard to find a pizza place that we can all eat at… We drove over an hour and 15 minutes and was worth it….

Adam Demaral

Perfect spot for a Celiac to have breakfast! Need to open a franchise in Hudson, MA!

Heather Coupland

The staff goes above & beyond to ensure a safe & inclusive experience. Great celiac safe menu! Highly recommended.

Laurie Jambor

We love Plan B for their dedicated fryer and many GF options. My celiac daughter loves the chicken tenders and tots and we’ve never had any issues with feeling sick after eating here

The tall tables are rough for disabled people but at least there is a long ramp that is pretty usable for the entrance. Gluten free buns, great burger, nice vibes

Karen LaFleur

I love the GF version of General Tso Chicken.

Genna Mullen

I absolutely love Green Olive. I have celiac and have never had an issue with food, and they have so many options! My only issue is they close earlier than their hours say and it’s not super close to where I live, so when I finally get through my day and am SO looking forward to a good calzone, they’re closed hours earlier than it says online. That has been and is my only issue and it’s so disappointing to me as I can’t get this kind of food everywhere, driving over half an hour away and craving the food to find out it’s closed it so sad :(.

Rachel Lippin-Foster

Gf friendly!

Plan B is my favorite restaurant in Glastonbury. It’s a gluten-free friendly environment where I can enjoy actual fried foods. That is not a common experience being GF. Not only do the food and drinks deserve five stars; I would like to recognize the staff. One person that deserves honorable mention is Izzy. Over three years, Izzy has been my server on numerous occasions. Her kind and courteous nature leads me to request her as my server every time. She is very conscious of food allergies and takes them seriously. Thank you Izzy for making Plan B a place I always want to come back to!

Leslie Burby

I tried a variety of foods and they were all delicious and the staff were incredibly patient and kind. I will definitely be back. This is nice and close to the New Haven Union Train station.

Stephanie Amoroso

Rio Salado has great food and much of it is gluten free. The chips are made in a dedicated fryer. My daughter has celiac and traveling is always stressful but not this time!

Sara M

They had a variety of gluten free options and our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

Katherine Roland

Awesome place!! Great for gluten free/Celiac Safe.

Minakshi Stalhamer

Amazingly flavorful, all gluten free food, wonderful options, absolutely lovely experience (btw the burritos are hugeeee and the taco orders are 1 per and pricey but nice to try a few)

Dj Syd

Food was amazing! Man helped daughter select some gluten free bread so we have to wait for her bread. Then drive back to hotel and food was still hot and soooooo yummy. Only downside is with prices I'd like to dine in. Take out I expect to be a Little less. Being Albanian we just put it all on table in hotel and ate. But could be difficult if someone couldn't. Man working was a wonderful person. Flavors were amazing. The best meal I had during this trip to CT!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience at S&P Oyster on New Year’s Day. We chose to celebrate our wedding with a big group of 16, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. From the moment we walked in, everything was top-notch even on a holiday First off, our server, Kev, was amazing. I honestly don’t know how he kept his cool with so many requests flying at him all night, but he did it with a smile, a sense of humor, and a level of professionalism that made the whole evening feel effortless. We had people with dietary restrictions— like gluten and dairy allergies—and Kev made sure everything was taken care of without any fuss. The menu offered a whole host of both vegan and gluten free options and Kev worked directly with the kitchen to make sure every dish was tailored to accommodate those needs, and it really helped us relax and enjoy the meal without any stress. The food was out of this world. Everything from the appetizers to the mains to the desserts was incredible. There was a great variety of options, which was such a relief, especially when you’re dealing with so many different preferences and dietary needs. Our group really was blown away by everything we ordered from the apps to dessert, the food here was really a hit! The atmosphere was intimate and beautiful while remaining welcoming, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy themselves and feel comfortable. The staff didn’t rush us, which I really appreciated—our group can be a bit chatty, and we were there to linger, enjoy the food, and celebrate, so it was nice that they let us take our time. Everything just clicked—great food, fantastic service, and an atmosphere that really let us savor the moment. It’s not easy pulling off a large group celebration with so many moving parts, but S&P Oyster, especially Kev, nailed it. I can’t recommend it enough, especially if you're looking for a place that goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels taken care of. Kev deserves a special shoutout for being an absolute pro and making sure our wedding celebration went off without a hitch. Thanks to this experience, we plan on returning frequently!

Gluten free options are excellent.

Elizabeth Fuqua

Obsessed with PF Chang’s. Been coming since I was in elementary school with my family as they have some of the most amazing gluten free apps/entrees people with celiac could ever imagine. The egg drop soup is to die for and the Chang’s spicy chicken has a sweet sauce with just enough spice. My partner loves the pad thai as well saying it’s slightly sweet with a classic pad thai flavor. I will forever miss the gluten free chocolate dome dessert with the berry sauce, but they still have GREAT options and I will be coming back many more times in the future. Love this place. 15/10.

Caitlyn Lac

As someone who cannot eat gluten without getting sick (non-celiac), I'm not sure how this place doesn't already have 5 stars. These are the best gf cupcakes I've ever had and trust me, I've had a lot of GF desserts. Even my brother who can eat gluten said they dont taste gf, thats how good they are. The salted caramel chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal too.

Hannah Jahn

Amaaazing gluten free and vegan/dairy free soft serve ice cream! The Amaretto is my favorite and the ice cream sandwiches are great! Definitely a hidden treasure

Katja Jylkka

Amazing food and drinks. Our kids love everything off the kid's menu too! I'm celiac and have to eat gluten free, and they have delicious gluten free baked goods (stored separately and above the other baked goods) and are always very clear about what can be made gluten free. Love coming here!

Perrin Brown

Dedicated fryer and very attentive staff for any and all dietary needs

I am going to share our "great experience" at Maggie McFly’s this past week-end. Our family comes here because Maggie’s is the only place in the area with a dedicated fryer for people who can’t eat gluten. For those who don’t know, a dedicated fryer prevents cross-contamination from other fried foods that have gluten in them because it’s an additional stand-alone fryer that only has foods cooked in it that don’t have gluten in them. If you want fried foods, and can’t have gluten, you need this. My daughter and I love both their wings and fries. We also come here because they have excellent food, a huge menu that contains a ton of other gluten-free options and not gluten-free options (this helps with my other kids and just in general), and a great selection of tap beer. Our server was Haley. She was extremely knowledgeable about gluten conditions. She has a family member who has Celiac (gluten medical condition) which is what my daughter has. She did an excellent job and was so friendly and understanding. My wife and I, and my kids, highly recommend Haley and Maggie’s!!!

Jennifer Turpin

Always a favorite when visiting that area. The food is always great, and we leave with vegan/gluten free desserts that rival no vegan/gluten free bakeries.

Jen nifer

This is the worst gluten free pizza I've ever had, and they charge an extra $7 dollars for it! If you want GF pizza go to Next Door pizza, they have the best in the area

Kevin

First time they made food which I clearly instructed I am allergic to. Then manager said he'd personally make sure next sandwich was correct. Burger came out with wrong toppings again. No gluten at least. But the burger was so raw that I feel nauseous from taking a few bites of it. Absolutely disgusting

Julianne

Delicious, interesting, healthy food. Great variety of gluten-free options including a scrumptious GF lemon bar/brownie.

Jen F

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

Lisa Zaharioudakis

Every meal I’ve had here has been so delicious! The staff is really helpful, as I can’t eat dairy, gluten or nuts, and they are able to confirm for me what is safe for me to order. Wonderful atmosphere, too!

So easy to east GF here

David Garcia

Maggie McFly’s is a fantastic spot with a great atmosphere and an impressive menu selection. They offer tons of gluten-free and allergy-friendly options, making it a great choice for anyone with dietary restrictions. Whether you’re in the mood for comfort food, healthy dishes, or something more adventurous, they have it all. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the vibe makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely a go-to for quality food and a welcoming experience!

Christopher Chanowitz

Good food, great service. Very quaint and cozy. Lots of gluten free options. Food was hot and delicious 😋. Service impeccable.

Laurie Jambor

Extensive gluten free options and huge portions but pretty pricy!! At least leftovers can be brought home for another meal. Always a risk of cross contamination at an establishment like this

Emily-Catherine Madia

gluten free food options

Zane Carey

They really know their gluten free and vegan food. I've been coming here for 7 years. My husband and I plan trips around it since we live over an hour away. Love the new space.

Jessica Sussman

We are regular customers at sparrow for takeout, but with young kids we don't often make it out to the restaurant. We dined in-restaurant with our kids this weekend and just wanted to call out the excellent service. The food, as always, was delicious (best gluten free pizza around! great cocktails, too) but just wanted to acknowledge the warm and attentive server and manager. We'll be back soon! Very lucky to have this place in WH!

Grace P

Wow! A Celiac's dream! Delicious gluten free baked goods plus an entire cooler stocked with things to go. I haven't eaten a cinnamon bun since being diagnosed with my gluten free allergy 6 years ago - and it was so good it nearly brought a tear to my eyes! Also, one of the best gluten free cupcakes I've ever had. I had a sandwich on a gluten free wrap and the wrap was pretty good as far as gluten free wraps go. Generous portions, delicious salads, this is a place I'll return to over and over again.

Greg Shimer

Gluten free French toast!

Ashley Berry Neff

So good! So many choices! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday evening and it was packed. We were seated at the bar quickly. Lucas was our server and he was awesome! I have to be careful about what I eat, since I’m gluten free. Lucas was knowledgeable and assured me that what I was ordering wouldn’t make me sick. As he put it “welcome home” 😂 The drinks were amazing and the tacos were fantastic. Charles came over at some point to help other customers and he was super attentive to them as well. We’ll definitely be back!

diana reed

Delish unique French inspired breakfast and lunch with many gluten free options Amazing lattes too! The sweet lady at the barista counter was very attentive and genuinely kind Great portions too! And the soup was truly comfort food!
