Unbelievable gluten free pizza. The most flavorful margherita I’ve ever had. One of the pies I ordered was incorrect but they swiftly resolved the problem and delivered a new pie. I love this place!

Trendy brunch spot. Pretty scrambled eggs and GF bread available!

Shelly Puri

Nice little spot for well presented ice cream with fun toppings. Very allergen friendly including having a good number of gluten free options (entire shop is vegan). Bit pricey like many things in NYC but, has outdoor seating with great people watching so serves as a nice place to take a break and have a snack.

Food was outstanding. Had lunch special gluten free pad Thai and was blown away. Service and atmosphere were also great

Natalie Yablon

I’m incredibly impressed with this restaurant. The owner was SO attentive the entire time and helped me make the best gluten free choices. The food was excellent, especially the pad Thai with duck. The place is also super cozy and homie feeling. 10/10 recommend.

Horrible service. Waiter was hostile for no apparent reason when explaining they don’t have a gluten free menu. Not sure why but I think it’s because most restaurants are generally accommodating allergies. Honestly bizarre service and I think the staff is frustrated that they have to turn away people so often. That’s not really ideal menu planning at all.

Very delicious! The savory mini pancakes with mushrooms were a star. Really liked them and I think they’re gluten free (didn’t verify). The vegetable pho is great because it comes with tofu and there’s lots of bok choi, peas, and mushrooms. I love the fibre boost. And you can get it with any broth (I liked beef > chicken). It’s a great spot for gluten free friendly food. Good prices for pho. One appetizer and 2 mains came to $42 - very reasonable prices.

Pause has been around for a long time and it’s always been great 💕gluten free wraps too

Very cute place with fresh food. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. I have celiacs and they put the pita separately for my sister so she could still enjoy. We shared fattouch salad croutons on the side and added chicken, it was excellent. Red pepper dip was our favorite. Hummus was so so. Quick and friendly service.
