Rachel Cooper

Beautiful Italian food! It was so nice to not worry about eating out or having to ask questions about food prep. Great service and lovely little restaurant. Highly recommend!

Kerry Leccese

Everything can be made gluten free and there is a special prep area + designation for gluten free items. Literal paradise.

One of the best GF pizzas I’ve ever had! Couldn’t believe it was GF

Heather Iacono

Absolutely delicious!!!! So amazing to enjoy gluten free food I don’t have to worry about.

Pom Harrington

Great gluten free menu. Dumplings! 😀

Rachel Cooper

Absolutely spoilt for choice!

Valentina Thaysa Lucas

This place was out beyond words. The risotto was the best I’ve ever had. It’s been a few weeks and my husband and I are still talking about it. Their bread is also amazing and it was gluten and dairy free. Highly recommend making a reservation. We didn’t know, and we got lucky we were squeezed in, but had to wait over an hour. We didn’t know it then, but it was totally worth the wait. Glad we decided to wait.

Kennedy Wandelt

Everything on the menu can be gluten free. We had 3 GF, 2 normal, and on GF/DF girl at our table and they brought out separate bread for each restriction. Huge portion too!

Sam Bird

Gf bagels

Rachel Cooper

Sam Bird

Gluten free food, good wine

Marisa L

Excellent food, cocktails and service!

Alex White

Just about everything on this menu is gf, or can be made gf. Can’t recommend enough!

Lex Decker

The most gf bagel options I have ever seen. Make sure to check out the monthly specials!!

Rachel Dawes

Third time we’ve been here and it never disappoints. The gluten free pizza is the best there is, great crust, bubbles and all. Not the typical cardboard GF crust. Delicious! And the GF focaccia app with prosciutto is amazing!

Mona MN

The best and freshest gluten-free hand rolls I’ve ever had, FYI- I have celiac.

Jackson M.

Excellent and high end GF mexican food that is celiac safe in my experiences.

Sharon McCaskill, RDN

Great burgers and fries (made in a dedicated fryer). The staff was super helpful and accommodating! Would definitely eat here again.

yogi rosario

Got my gluten free wedding cake and holiday treats here.

It is a very cool and cozy place, we ordered a gluten-free pizza. We were greatly disappointed when we saw the size... Compared to the normal ones, they were square and very small... The price is the same and I think it is not fair. I'm glad they have gluten-free options but that big difference doesn't seem right to me. From what I have been able to see in the reviews, this error is repeated over and over again... I understand that from time to time, they may lack the base that they usually use, but it is not normal for them to put in that pittance of a portion.

Aditi J

Dedicated gf menu that was delicious

Magdalena Strasser

was great quick , affordable and easy

Laurie Jambor

My celiac daughter and I always eat here at least once each visit to the city. Never had any issues issue with symptoms and she is fairly sensitive to gluten. She always gets chicken fingers and fries while I’ve enjoyed several different sandwiches/burgers. Highly recommend as a quick stop restaurant

Holly P

Perfect for gluten free meals! Amazing experience, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, friendly waiter, clean bathrooms, and lovely outdoor seating with a view of NYC! I got the roasted mushroom tacos! Delicious!

Bryant Ferguson

Really amazing gluten free pasta. Bravo. My only complaint is that the olive oil provided with the very good gluten free bread was truly not good. Even inexpensive olive oil will have a bit of a green or spicy flavor. It tasted like nothing; I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't olive oil. For a higher end dining experience, I'd expect better.

Iris Sagitta

High-quality desserts for fair prices.

Ariel West

delicious! Amazing to not have to think about gluten at all.

Rylie Houston

So many gluten free options! Sooooo happy. It’s inside Friedman’s btw. I was confused. Get the tangerine chicken & the chicken dumplings with spicy vinaigrette. Yum.

Amber Easterling

This is a 100% GF bakery and coffee shop. I was so excited to get a cinnamon roll! I wish I had gotten a blueberry muffin to go! Next time for sure! They also have a restaurant down the street! They only take cash or AMEX so be prepared.

jo brown

My first place to eat in NYC and my first time in a 100% GF restaurant. everything was so good, I got the Açaí bowl and the Classic Cheese Bread whilst my Grandmother got the Panini, she can eat gluten but said it was the best bread she’d ever had! I’d highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for bread you can chew!

Crystine Alvarez-Alleyne

Did a Google search of gluten free restaurants near me while in Manhattan and this restaurant popped up, 8 minutes away from where I was. A non vegan, gluten free option? I was on it like white on rice. Walked across, hopped in and I was not disappointed. The staff was warm and friendly and the aroma from the food was very appealing. While I read the menu options my stomach was practically screaming at me to hurry and order, but everything looked so good, I couldn't decide. I ordered the plancha chicken, black beans and corn, seasoned basmati rice, maple carrots and avocado... No regrets! It was delicious, it was filling. When I'm back in the US, I'll definitely make my way back for more.

cassie james

Lucie M

Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu

Sebastian Mahringer

Gluten Free Options

Rachel Slesnick

Gluten free!!

Victoria Castillo

Came to Friedmans on W 72nd with my friend Jess and we had such a great time! The vibe was super warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and Jess got the shakshuka both were amazing. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients, and the gluten-free options were a huge bonus. We weren’t rushed at all and got to just hang out and catch up over great food. Definitely adding this to our regular brunch rotation!

Christina F. (withnohomeinmind)

The food is great, but expensive. I like going there. I wish they would do gluten free bread without oats and have more vegan cake options.

Taylor Gross

Great gluten free grandma’s slices, not super cross contamination-friendly though as a symptomatic celiac I didn’t get any glutening symptoms!

Maria Hadjichristoforou

Happened to pass by this adorable gluten-free crepe shop and was surprised to find the best crepe I’ve ever had! (And I’m not even gluten-free.) Definitely a must try when visiting the East Village!

Adam Segal-Isaacson

Good food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Wide range of types of Indian food, including kati rolls, dosas, and curries. Great addition to the neighborhood. Jun 2023: spicing is very mild, generally. Extensive vegetarian and vegan menu, and lots of gluten-free items.

Chris M

Food was tasty, a little pricey. Solid gluten-free options.

cassie james

mac and cheese is fantastic

Jake Cameron

This place is fantastic! We went for a quick cocktail, but ended up staying for dinner as the happy hour food menu had some great options. Fantastic service, cocktails, and food across the board (also several gluten free options). Looking forward to returning!

Philip Seaver

This place is amazing. The dips are so fun. The people working there are super fun to talk to and the coffee is better than Starbucks in my opinion. And as a vegan with celiac it’s super hard for me to find good desserts in NYC. Thank god for El Churro!!!

Laura Sandstedt

Good food. GF pasta and pizza options. I chose pasta.

Rina S

This is not a dedicated gf kitchen. They make pizzas and do not have separate cooking spaces. The staff is very educated and knowledgeable about allergies though.

Michelle Mulvey

The food and drinks were amazing. We had the dip sampler, Colombian ribs, fish tacos and passionfruit cheesecake. They have plenty of gluten free and vegan options. Highly recommend!

Sara Vitiello

Excellent burgers, even gluten-free! Pastrami delicious

A M

Fantastic empanadas. Highly recommend– especially the mango pork!! The sauce they come with is amazing. And everything is gluten free, so it is safe for anyone with gluten intolerance or celiac.
