Hazella has scrumptious pastries. Their Nordic inspired bake shop offers both sweet and savory flaky perfection. Such a treat! I'm a sucker for the hand pies, chocolate crossaints, and chocolate hazelnut cake. The cake is Gluten free to!! The space is adorable. I love that they give back to our community and have given pastries to local organizations.

Good food and drinks, nice staff, and a lovely place to hang out! They have dairy free and gluten free stuff as well.

This is a regular place for us - I have celiac disease and so does the owner of this restaurant. They have a GF frier, separate prep area, and a from scratch GF monster "brookie" that is AMAZING!

Kristy 50’s cafe is not gluten friendly! The only offering is to wrap your sandwich in lettuce. The food was ok but we specifically went there because it comes up as gluten friendly. The atmosphere was very nice.

Big D’s Smokin’ Q are putting out some of the best bbq locally; hands down. In a world of generalized bbq joints, Big D’s separates themselves from the norm by offering slow and low smoked meats, mainly pork and chicken by being outside the box from the wood they use to their unique flavor profiles. It’s hard to find great bbq where you actually taste the meat and the smoke is treated as an ingredient and this couple delivers consistently. If you’re looking for brisket, make sure to check their social media for daily updates to see if it’s being offered that day. Sure they have the classics, like pulled pork sandwiches and rib plates, but they offer fun and incredibly flavorful twists on other classic sandwiches like their versions of a smoked Cubano to Philly Cheesesteaks (available with either pulled pork or steak). And with an amazing brunch menu that pulls influences that resonate SW flavors, their Q expresses just how personal and heartfelt they approach their food. And for the most part, their menu is Gluten-Free. Tucked away behind a liquor store and Latin market off Santiam Road in Albany makes this place a hidden gem. So the next time you’re looking for amazing Q and great people serving it up, swing by Big D’s.
