Top 2 Gluten-Free Vegan Spots to Explore in Kerns, Portland

The food was delicious! We are from out of town, and we'd never been to Boxcar Pizza before. I am gluten free and vegan, so finding good pizza is tough. This was THE BEST vegan, gluten free pizza I've ever had! They also had Cheesy Garlic Bread that had a gluten free option. Simply amazing!

They do not have gluten free pizza. Ignore the review that says they do!

Where do I begin… Absolutely the best of the best of the best!!! I have never experienced better service anywhere than I do at this shop. Everyone who works there is so kind and helpful. The owner, Melissa, is such a sweetheart — you can feel the love she puts into her handmade truffles. I love that everything is gluten free and vegan. I never have to worry about gifting to friends or clients. I have so many favorites; from the whiskey truffles to chocolate covered potato chips … can’t get enough. Oh —and the free full size samples!! I mean really!? The generosity there is beyond. Customer for life!!

When we were traveling from out of town we stopped here based on reviews and menu designations that they had gluten free and dairy free options as she has a gluten allergy and I am breastfeeding a baby with a dairy allergy. Unfortunately, they are not allergy friendly. I got a second slice of pizza after my first and watched them heat it… nearly touching a slice with cheese, and then used the same peel to take both out of the oven, definitely contaminating my slice, and then my mom got symptoms of gluten exposure after eating. If you do not have allergies and prefer to eat dairy free or gluten free this place is good enough, but it is NOT SAFE for people with allergies.

First time in the new location which has a nice cozy vibe on the inside. The food is great for Vegans and people with Celiacs. There are a lot of gluten free options which is rare with dim sum. The bunny bao are cute and tasty and I kind of felt bad eating them. I enjoyed the chili wantons and the sesame cucumber.

We've been ordering from Friendship Kitchen for several years. Their food and their service are always fantastic. Tonight we had the vegan phô, the shrimp crêpe and the tofu salad rolls. All were fantastic. The shrimp crêpes are really different, have an essence of coconut, and are very tasty (and our gluten-free). The vegan phô is chock full of vegetables and the broth is very flavorful. The bean sprouts, Thai basil and cilantro served with it were plentiful. We got this order for two people, and we have enough leftover for another meal.
