i've been quite a few times but last night went with my family after my sister's graduation. i have celiac and our server (taylor i believe?) was superrrr informative and made sure i had all the info to decide what i wanted to eat & stay away from! clearly there's some really good server training going on. food was delicious as always and we had a great time :)

Hannah Christian

My husband and I visited for breakfast. Very nice atmosphere. The staff was kind and helpful. The food was delicious. Gluten free options, including some gluten free waffles and coconut cake. Delicious!

Amy Sacher

I have celiac and can't have gluten. Even cross contamination can make me sick. The Azzip staff is knowledgeable and does a great job at keeping my pizza safe.

Got the gluten free sourdough loaf and it was pretty good! A bit pricey ($13) for the loaf but will support local artisans. I wish they had a bread slicer tho! Most places will slice the bread for you. For such a big kitchen it might be worth the investment :) I went to the store on a Saturday at noon and they were basically sold out and everything was made the day before, so if you want fresh bread better to order ahead.

Don Purvis

Nice looking place, ridiculous that you have to walk all the way around from the street to try to find the entrance. My wife and I ordered 2 different burgers and they were both undercooked and the gluten free buns were dry and awful. Never coming back here again.

Amy McGinnis

What's not to love here. There is a variety of vegan and gluten free options as well as some good old comfort food.

Gabriella Potter

I had high hopes. The pics and reviews really had me hyped. But after waiting an hour (they told me 45 mins), the huge bread sticks that look amazing but have no flavor outside of the seasoning sprinkled on top, a mediocre pepperoni pizza, a Chicken Limo (basically buffalo chicken pizza), and paying 45$ before tip for 2 small pizzas and an order of sticks....I can say I will not return. The one positive I will give the place, is that their pizza crust (not bread stick dough) is impressive. Turns out it's gluten free and I didn't even notice the difference. It tastes like home made crust, and very unique. However, I need more than just great/healthy crust to enjoy a pizza.

Jon Jenkins

100% gluten-free kitchen!!! The restaurant space and service were great, and the food was healthy and delicious!

Kimber Krauser

I'm non celiac gluten free and the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful. He explained how the half & half works for the gluten free crust. He made sure to clean the prep area while telling me my options. The pesto & parmesan half of my crust was delicious. Highly recommend.

Stacey Dishman

I took my daughter who had a gluten allergy. There were Gluten Free options and so many to choose from. We had the best service. The server was Wil and he had the best hospitality. The manager Ethan came and asked us how everything was. Ethan had great hospitality as well. We had the flaming turtle chocolate that gets lit on fire. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

My home-base Cafe Patachou. Much too conveniently located near my home. It's hard to eat out and eat healthy. I love to get the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free toast and sub out chips for arugula. So yummy and I swear it has restorative powers.

Aaron Dodd

I’ve loved this place for several years now, but I’m writing this review because my girlfriend has celiac disease— strictly no gluten, and this makes some dining out more challenging. I went in to pick up dinner for us and both the owner and an employee working the front chatted with me about options that fit her dietary needs. The employee even doublechecked to ensure that the food prep surface had been cleaned and could safely accommodate a severe gluten intolerance. We got the vegan birria trio and the nonono tacos. Both were delicious. My girlfriend was thrilled. And I, as someone with no restrictions, was equally happy with our choices. Even as a meat-eater, I enjoy everything I’ve ever tried here, including the vegan and vegetarian options. The tofu mole is my absolute favorite! I never thought I’d say that as someone that didn’t appreciate tofu for 20 something years.

Jonathan Hilber

We make this a usual stop about once every 3 months. Service was far better this time than last. My wife has to be gluten free and she hasn't had any issues when eating here! The tacos are fantastic!

Amanda Elsner

I am an admitted Cafe Patachou addict... but I swear their chicken salad sandwich has restorative powers! And only place in town I know of you can get gluten free waffles!! 💙

Adam Clevenger

Delicious! The food is so good I started eating before taking pictures. All of the food is flavorful. 3 in 1 also accommodates our family's dietary restrictions and offers a wide variety of choices for vegetarian, vegans, and gluten-free diners. The staff are extremely kind and maintain a clean, even if spartan, restaurant. Highly recommend!

Kate Kotan

They have the best gluten-free crust. The Parma, add ricotta, is my go to. Perfect blend of flavors!

Kevin Andersen

Excellent authentic Ethopian family owned restaurant. Very reasonable prices, excellent service, and excellent food. The injera is teff and wheat flour mixture, for anyone interested, but if you call ahead they can make a gluten free option (call ahead 5 hours in advance). The homemade honey wine (meadlike, but lower alcohol content) is very good. I did not try their Ethopian coffee, but I expect it is probably consistent with everything else.

Jerica Moyer

We ordered 2 coffees some pastries and 2 sandwiches all were delicious. Some of the best gluten free bread I have had. Loved the inclusive menu!

Rachel M

Great gf options, gf menu, and staff is knowledgeable on celiacs!

Cyndi Brenner

Loved this little sandwich shop. The gluten-free bagel was so good, it made me so happy to find a great place for a quick bite with gluten-free options! Next time I’m passing through again, I will definitely be stopping by!

Candy Kuhl

The gluten-free cheeseburger was delicious! Although the French fries are not gluten-free, I opted for a side salad instead. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.

Amy Lathrop

Went to Seasons 52 for a work dinner and was very impressed with the service our waitress Dominque provided. I have a gluten restriction and when the company ordered apps, I asked if one was GF. She checked for me and explained it wasn't but went above and beyond by bringing me out some gluten free bread to munch on. Which by the way was delicious. She then proceeded to bring out a GF menu for me and when it came time for dessert, she educated me on what my options were. Having food restrictions can sometimes make eating out less enjoyable however Dominque's service made my experience a breeze.

Dave Brown

The block this pizza place is on its wonderful. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies, and this was the first pizza place she's been able to eat at for quite some time. She was thrilled to find it, and the pizza was excellent.

Evangeline Grunden

My uncle and I picked up pizza to go and it was a delightful experience. The gentleman working the counter shared lovely conversation. We waited just a minute for our order, so he would update us on how close they were and brought food out as he could. The gluten free was delicious. So grateful!

Edward Wilson

Richard Nussle

Great restaurant close to downtown. The service is great and the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and wine. They always have a vegan and gluten free entree. When you first sit down you get a small glass of champagne which is a nice touch. On our last visit we got the smoked carrots and they were shockingly good. The carrot soup was excellent and then for entrees I got long trumpet mushrooms and my wife got the Sacchetoni en Brodo. She said hers was good. The peanut parfait is amazing and a must get to finish the meal. It is on the pricier side but it is with it in my opinion.

Lauren Klinedinst

I love this place. As someone who has to eat gluten free this is really a treat. The carbonara with GF pasta is what dreams are made of.

Scott Kelly

Extra thick cut, 98% fat free, and cured well. Best of all, it's gluten free for a person with celiac disease like me. What am I talking about? It's Kirkland's Signature Premium Extra Thick Steak Strips, of course! You can't go wrong with this food package for a car trip to a city like Indianapolis for a convention you've been looking forward to attending for over six years. It especially hits the spot after you've been waiting over 3 hours for food at a restaurant that, once delivered, wasn't cooked properly and didn't match your order nor met your dietary restrictions that you asked about (and which was never answered by staff). But don't worry, Kirkland's Steak Strips won't put you in the hospital - they're already cooked, ready and safe to eat. Kirkland's Steak Strips are so good even at 10pm, after a long evening of waiting for an order that actually got cancelled by an inept Liquid Death-chugging manager after yourself and your friends expressed concerns over your wait countless times, being told again and again that it would just be 5 more minutes until your food arrived. But you know what you don't have to wait for? Kirkland's Steak Strips. They're always ready for you, sealed in that snazzy black bag and packed with a blast of flavorful protein. Costco is there for those who care about what they eat and want to have a good time chowing down. For everyone else - especially in Indianapolis - there's Punch Bowl Social, where you can go to play a tournament of Exploding Kittens at your table and eat... well, as it turned out for me, absolutely nothing!

Lior Seidel

GF items are marked on the menu (most of the menu, except the wraps)

Natalie Austin

The food was excellent! I have a gluten allergy and there were so many gluten free options. The flavors of all the dishes we tried were just great! Will definitely go again!

Brandon Rhine

Great pizza and desserts. Love the 3 layer cake and tiramisu. Vegan and gluten free options! New vegan cheesecake.

Amaya Tarrants

The ice cream here is delicious, I would highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area for the day. Vegan and Gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions, including a gluten free cheesecake ice cream which is a rare find. A nice vibe inside, but the seating is a bit small for larger crowds. Although, it’s definitely worth the wait for the friendly service I received.

Martha “Who U” Wilson

very tasty, gluten free sub bread tastes fresh and light. love a good sub. employees were great and friendly.

Denise PH

It is a great restaurant with tasty options, gluten-free and dairy-free. The ingredients feel super fresh, the portions are just perfect, and the presentation of the dishes is beautiful. Plus, the service is quick and kind. I have absolutely no complaint about this wonderful restaurant - only that I have wished to tried it earlier and more times during my stay.

Mom Knows Best

I ordered the vegan crab cake and it was so delicious. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed chatting with her. I love that I can find a place that is not only vegan but also has gluten-free options. I felt safe eating there with my wheat, soy and dairy food allergies.

Heather Gillbanks

I am SO EXCITED to find a new place that understands gluten free!

Tara Hunter

It was amazing! Excited to be working near here with the gluten free and vegan options at Poke Guru! It felt so fresh and clean but filling and hearty. I ordered the large bowl amd only could eat half..which worked out well for me for lunch the next day!! yum! Will be back for sure.

Aaron Lawson

Such a “cool” place to get some ice cream with friends and family. Gluten free and dairy free options! It’s really fun to watch how the extremely cold nitrogen freezes the cream right in front of you. You can’t get any fresher than that!

Rebecca Pryor-Naramalla

I would love for a gluten-free pizza crust issue! I miss having the buffalo chicken pizza! Everything is delicious! Especially, the fries with the cheese sauce.

Frank M Cook

We went early on a Sunday night and were pleasantly surprised to find they had a buffet. Everything was good. Most were gluten free. The price was reasonable. I usually like to see an ethnic restaurant full of ethnic customers but the place was almost empty. The atmosphere was sports-bar like with several TVs. My only complaint was they had country music playing far too loud for our taste.

Clayplays96

Never tried vegan food before but today was the day because I'm gluten intolerant and it was really good!!! Thank you!

Megan

This is a wonderful 100% vegan cafe. Great for plant-based diets and they have clearly labeled gluten free options. They have breakfast and lunch all day, with sustainable packaging and discounts for eating in and returning compostable to-go wares. They’re very nice staff with a lovely little outdoor seating area. There’s not much room for large parties but it’s amazing for going by yourself or with groups 2-6. Take out is a great option and everything is made fresh. Their seasonal foods and drinks have yet to disappoint and they donate to Oinking Acres so they’re linked with a good cause. They also are very LGBTQ+ friendly. I love this place.

Douglass Gaking

Amazing food and great service! I tried the nachos and a shake (smoothie). There are very few vegetarian and gluten-free options out there that taste this good.
