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 :)

Pro’s: Great options for Celiac Disease + good GF bread. Coffee keeps flowing, it’s $5 for unlimited self serve. Central location next to Capitol. Con’s: Slightly underwhelming portions. Lox bagel does not come with cream cheese. Not a ton of unique / strong flavor for an $18 meal. It generally felt like a restaurant that used to be charming in its origins but has commercialized.

We always enjoy coming here. You can create your own pizza. They have gluten-free and dairy-free options. It's nice to be able to eat pizza again. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

My wife has to be gluten free. Their bread is the best! Long trip but it keeps her happy!

Was in the area, and looked up gluten free options, and this place came up. When I walked in, I was able to sit at the bar (which had a ton of seats) and immediately got served by Leah, the amazing bartender working today. They had a ton of different burger options and had gluten free buns available, which can be hard to come by. The burger was made to order, and the one I got had an interesting flavor. It had a basil aoli, mushrooms, onions, and goat cheese (of all things). The bourbon based drink is ordered was tastefully made, and overall I enjoyed my experience. All of the staff were nice and attentive; you could tell that they all worked well together.

Very good food quality, simple menu, and true gluten free options including fries cooked in a separate fryer, impressive. This place is owned by the woman who owns Ball & Biscuit cocktail bar on Mass Ave, pictured are several of the house brand canned cocktails. I tried the espresso martini and a lemon coconut beverage both of which were balanced and complex. Burgers and fries are up to par, we just have a lot of options in Indy for this fare. My only nit pick is that it's pricey, which is unfortunately expected for the location. Highly recommended for gluten free diets, and worth checking out otherwise. Service was top notch as well.

Amazing!! 100% Gluten Free! Great staff! Delicious food!

Natalia Cruz

I really liked the restaurant and how they had both good indoor and outdoor space. They had an amazing drink selection for people who like beers. I'm gluten free and they have two styles of gluten free pizza. Which is thin crust and Detroit style, which I had. It was very yummy and definitely will be back.

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.

R. M.

Very good vegan and gluten free options!

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.

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!! 💙

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Yas'Ming

This is such a cute place. They have plenty of vegan and gluten free options. The food is yummy. The service was great. I will be returning.

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

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.

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.

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!

If healthy, gluten-free food options are important to you, then you will want to try Flower child. On my first visit, I found the menu to be confusing, but the staff was incredibly helpful in explaining how to order. Portions are a good size, and the items are very flavorful. I haven't found anything there to disappoint me yet. Flower Child is located in a high traffic area, but parking is very accommodating, and there was no issue finding a seat. Give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Lior Seidel

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

Keith Baker

Awesome food and service. They were very accommodating for gluten free and inspired confidence they would get it right. Food came and was excellent. Only complaint was it's a little loud.

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.

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.

Elena Munoz

I would love to share my experience here I have celiac disease and there is not a lot of good choices in a great cupcakes but when I found flying cupcake especially this location they were the bomb celiac friendly definitely!!

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.
