Sandie Cecelski

Gluten free by the sea made the most delicious and beautiful birthday cake for my daughter in law who is gluten intolerant. It scored beautifully for her birthday party! Thank you!

Amazing savory and sweet crepes, and best of all for me, all are available in gluten free. We discovered this restaurant when we visited UNCW with our son, and now that he is a student there, we make sure to visit Our Crepes & More whenever we’re in town. My favorites are the Monte-Cristo savory and the Mont-Blanc sweet, but really, we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried.

If you’re a celiac, here’s your breakfast spot! They have a printed gluten free menu with SO MANY OPTIONS! The food was absolutely out of this world delicious, the staff were beyond kind and welcoming, the atmosphere is upbeat and fun! I have zero complaints. I’ll be back again every time I visit Wilmington!

Briana Keller

Delicious with gluten free options

Monique Lucero

Highly recommend this place, the atmosphere is incredible and the staff is really welcoming. Having celiac disease(gluten allergy) limits me from eating out but this place makes me feel very safe. The food is amazing. shout out to Lora and Matt!!

Monica Romyn

Amazing food. Our waitress was amazing. I have celiac and she insured that the food was safe for me to eat. She went above and beyond

Had the Gluten Free Detroit Style as a Jimmy Pesto and I still dream about it! Wowzah! The Jimmy Pesto needs to stay! It’s fantastic!!!!! Love the Bob‘s Burger reference too! Fabulous pizza and their gluten free pizza? OMG! BEST pizza.

There’s nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich from Cheesesmith ESPECIALLY because they have GF options for those like myself who can’t have gluten. 10/10 all around.

Into healthier food options?! Stop by Panacea. They have a nice selection of healthy tasty dishes. The classic burger plant based with gluten free bun is one of my favorites. The coconut curry soup is amazing.

The Savvy Me - Eco Chic Events

A nice and classy restaurant with delicious vegan and gluten-free food, cocktails and mocktails. A great place to dress up and get a fine dining vibe in a beach town. Every time I am in Wilmington, it is a must for dinner and brunch. Today we had vegan brunch and left us wanting to return: *Waffles Ranchero Masa waffles, spicy chard and yummy chimichurri crema. *Mushroom & Grits Mild Cajun crema over crunchy oyster mushrooms and corn yummyness. *Bloody Mary to perfection. *Espresso Martini good but on the sweet side. **Desserts to die-for: Banana Bread, Carrot Cake and Caramel Cheesecake. All three moist and tasty. Yum! My favorite thing about this place is their focus on locally grown including their very own greenhouse with herbs and greens. 💙💙💙

Food and drinks were superb. I have celiacs and the chef marked on the menu what was safe for me. Awesome farm to table restaurant with unique dishes

We found the Black Sea Grill in our search for gluten free options in Wilmington - it did not disappoint! The entire menu is gluten free except the pita (which those of us not GF really enjoyed). The owner greeted us and waited on us personally. He was so warm and welcoming, and gave us great tips for things to explore in the area. We ordered tilapia and grilled chicken kebab entrees, which were delicious. The service and atmosphere were wonderful, and the location is in great proximity to the river walk and front street shops. Would definitely enjoy the Black Sea Grill again!

We loved this place. Especially since they had gluten free for my girlfriend. Would definitely come back again.

Jess Fortes

Love this place! I have celiacs dx and the staff here is always knowledgeable and so accommodating! We came in today with a good sized party. Liam was our server. He did I so great with our chaos 3 kiddos a bunch of extra checks and allergies. One of the kiddos spilled a drink. He was so chill and handled it all with such grace. Thanks Liam!

Nik Glazar

Very nice coop with a good selection and plenty of gluten free options. I love that they have a waste free bulk section.

Margaret O'Brien

Cannot express how pleased we were with our experience here. I have celiac and the amount of attention to detail ensuring I was only given foods that were safe for me to eat and to make sure there was no cross contamination was unreal. Our sever Jacob went above and beyond checking every item so I would not get sick. They have gluten free bread and brownies that made me question if it was really safe because of how good they were. Will definitely be returning and recommend it to anyone with celiac that wants a nice dining experience.

Heather Albrecht

Great gluten free options plus wide variety of foods

Ahavah Warr

Love the Soy Teriyaki Drumstick! It’s both vegetarian and gluten free (if you have a ton of dietary restrictions like me) They’re super accommodating to the customers, and I highly recommend trying them out!

Val Ashburn

We love their take and bake pizzas! I think they also offer gluten free. Great toppings, wide variety :)
