Grace Norwood

Alyssia did a wonderful job. Would like to see more gluten free options.

Melissa Porter

A wonderful establishment that is one of the most accommodating places I’ve ever been to.

Natalie Alfano

Our fantastic server had knowledge of the gluten free and allergen items of the menu as well as the possible point of cross contamination and what to order to avoid them. Thanks to all staff for making dining out with allergies a lot easier!

Stopped in for breakfast today and was seated right away. I ordered the omelette and gluten free waffle and the food was delicious! Service was spectacular, too! So good that I ate my leftovers for lunch today!

Megan Ross

The coffee is amazing and the staff is well versed in food allergies. They even offer a military discount. The gf baked goods are always delicious and are kept separate from gluten items. As a celiac I highly recommend this place as I have never gotten sick.

Expensive, but the food, service and atmosphere was great. Very nice area for a special occasion. We had the prime rib, petite prime rib, asparagus, jalapeño infused potatoes, and creme brulee. Our server was very attentive to our needs as well. They offer a nice gluten free menu as well.

Nikki Stroop

I am gluten-free. I asked 3 times if the meal I ordered was GF. I started to feel bad about an hour after the meal. Stomach issues for the entire next day. The meal had either some high cross contamination or they didn't make it properly.

Zoe Wheeler

Amazing filet mignon, lobster and shrimp and the gluten free brownie is the perfect end to a good meal

Vincent was an excellent server. This restaurant could use a little refresh in the entry but I do like the local art in the dining area. For a restaurant being so progressive with it's menu and careful with gluten/vegan cuisine I do not understand why there are not markings on the menu. Disappointed in allergens not being marked especially since this is a sister restaurant to Wheat Penny who despite the name actually does gluten allergy notices excellently. Tonight I had a herb vinaigrette salad. I feel like someone was trying to be unique with the dressing. I've had a lot of vinaigrettes and salads. I never dislike a salad. I did not like it. The olives were oddly flavored. The cheese was good, but the dressing had herbs de provence or something odd in it I couldn't put my finger on. I feel like that's such an acquired to be taste, it should be mentioned or the dressing needs to be renamed or reformulated to be more like a goddess. It said it was lemon and didn't taste like lemon or vinegar or oil. Mostly avocado and herbs. I highly recommend the caprese toast on gluten free bread. That's one of the best things I've had in a long time. The tomatoes were red, fresh, and juicy. The burnt peach and macadamia nut cheesecake was not it. I feel like it has a lighter feel with more egg/custard taste than cheese. Needs more sugar and more cream cheese, more brown sugar crumble. Pass the burnt top and replace by peach jam or something like that. I hope they are as celiac friendly as was shared by server. I'll report back. **Can't notice specific issues with gluten. Also the two-tops were too close to each other to have no music playing. There needed to be background music because it was near impossible not to hear the entirety of the next conversation. One table should be removed in that row. Although the restaurant met our needs that day I wouldn't be swift to return, but can recognize the value of a locally owned place with a strong following.

My boyfriend and I went to brunch here this past Sunday and it was phenomenal! The food, service and , atmosphere are amazing! Our server Makenzie was the best and very knowledgeable about the menu. I have celiac disease so I’m always apprehensive to try new places but I can say with certainty we will be back!

Seth Schwartz

This place is awesome! Great food and service. We love going here. My wife is Celiac and they are very careful with the gluten-free options.

Courtney Kurczewski Krause

We had a wonderful dining experience! I have Celiac disease and our server was very good knowledgeable about gluten free options and avoiding cross contact. She was very friendly, answered all our questions, and provided quick service. The potato appetizer, chips and salsa flight, enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas, and cake were delicious! We'll definitely be back in again next time we're in Dayton! Thank you so much!

Nancy

Great gluten free options

David Brueggeman

A great stop if you're in the area. Good service and very fun atmosphere. I had the pork burrito which is fantastic, and my wife was able to find a lot of tasty options which is challenging because she's gluten free. Our kids enjoyed the items from the kids menu.

Sharna Raw

The best falafel and humus I have ever had!!! Gluten-free and vegan options. Staff very knowledgeable. I will look forward to visiting again.

Robyn Miller

This is honestly my favorite restaurant. I have never tried African food before visiting here a couple years ago, now I can't get enough. The woman working the front desk is always so sweet and accommodating for my gluten free needs, as I always get the GF injera and it is AMAZING. Can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to indulge in this amazing cuisine properly with the traditional bread as a GF person. 10/10 recommend the Nanya Platter, something for everyone and it has a great variety all in one place. The Fitfit appetizer is amazing as well, mouthwatering and crisp. If you're thinking about coming here, RUN don't walk, to try this amazing cuisine.

Asia Roberts

Good food, fresh flavors. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices.

Kaitlin Kownick

If you’re looking for a causal, cozy brunch, this is your place! The brunch food is delicious & the mimosa/Bloody Mary bar is a fun experience. Brunch in the summer is my favorite: out on the private patio, with great food and a calm atmosphere. I’m there every weekend. The accommodations for food have been a game changer. It’s hard to find a bar that has gluten free and vegan options. I can always count on something that u can eat there. Lastly, always say yes to the Herbie Dip as a side. I look forward to it every time I go!

Best in Dayton! Food is incredible, prices are right, wine shop + restaurant + bar all in one place. Did I mention the food is phenomenal? Quality ingredients, many dishes made from scratch, all are full-flavor! And the best part for someone with food allergies, they offer a wide variety of gluten-free deliciousness. Try the "Dig the Fig" GF Pizza. Service is top notch too! Love everything about this place... put it on your must try list.

Gregory Turner

Brought 6 people and 5 really enjoyed their meal. I loved the Hawaiian Burger. Wife appreciated the gluten free option. Greek fries were good. Only exception was that my daughter didn't care for the pasta but it's a sandwich place so... :)

Nancy Silverman

It is a stroll down the road for me. The atmosphere is enchanting. Many options in coffee beverages. Also they've liquor for coffee beverages if you enjoy this. They've hamburgers and gluten free alternatives.

Matthew Luhn

Nice place to dine if you're visiting Dayton, Ohio and want something a bit more upscale. My wife has celiacs and had no issues getting a gluten free meal. The waiter kindly told us most menu items could be prepared GF, even though there are no markings on the menu.

The BEST restaurant I've been to in Dayton! This place goes above and beyond any expectation that I have for any restaurants. The hot tea was served in a French press, they created a house salad for me that was vegan and gluten free, and the rosemary potatoes and the zucchini were so absolutely amazing that I can't wait to order them again soon. You can see the little extra special touches in the pictures like the fact that they bring the fancy teacup with a little plate with a stirring spoon, a glass jar of honey, and the most delicious salad dressing I think I've ever had in my life was served in a glass dessert cup with spoon. I sent a tip to the cook, and I have only done that maybe twice in my entire 46 years. You seriously cannot go wrong here. I am ultra-picky, have lots of allergies, and cannot think of a place I'd rather eat.

Kirsta McElfresh

I'm grateful IHOP has gluten friendly pancake option. Be careful with the omletes, as most of them have gluten in them. The egg white one did not and was yummy.

Joshua Huynh

Great place, was my first time here and they didn’t disappoint. Our waitress Jewels delivered excellent service. She made a mock tail off menu upon request. Nothing fancy but my pregnant girlfriend enjoyed it. The deluxe calzone was pretty good, I’m more of a Stromboli man myself but they don’t serve those here. My girlfriend got the gluten free pizza and she loved it. She said it could’ve been a little more crispy but overall she ranked it her third favorite gluten free pizza she’s ever had. We will be back for sure and I can’t wait until we do.

Michelle Brauchler

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I wanted to go somewhere new for my birthday, but I am gluten-free so usually end up at the same few places. Indian sounded good and I read that most dishes were gluten-free here (not the naan, of course). I ordered the Lamb Mushroom curry. It was AMAZING and everyone else was happy with what they ordered, too. Korma, Tikka Masala, Naan, Tomato Soup (the soup was pretty different than European/American tomato soup, but lovely). Someone also ordered a Sweet Lassi (yogurt drink) and said it was really good. Rice was served somewhat family style (more than one dish of rice was served, but they were meant for sharing) and there was plenty to go around. They also offered more rice. There was no one else seated in the restaurant the entire time we were there! Our waiter was extremely attentive and kept making sure we were happy with everything. We saw lots and lots of DoorDashers coming and going, though. Almost continuously! So it must not be a secret that this place has the good stuff! Haha.

I love South Park Tavern. Such a struggle to find really good gluten free pizza but their Backpacker pizza is one of the best I've found. Also, one of the longest running open mic nights in the area

Consistently good “bar” pizza! Vegan and gluten-free options too

Edna Null

Loved the atmosphere. Our waitress was very helpful and tried to assist me with what was gluten-free. The steak was quite tasty and thick. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. Bonus - they have live music and bike nights. Will definitely return here!!

I am gluten free and very used to getting ripped off with the potions of a sandwich because gf bread is always so much smaller. HOWEVER - this was the first time that I was actually served TWO whole sandwiches (each smaller) because of the size of the bread! My daughter and I both ordered the turkey Rueben and it was incredible! I almost ordered a salad but will do that the next time! They looked amazing and were huge!

Tuch dwn

I came in with the fam, our server Natasha was very professional, and very explanatory when we spoke on the gluten free menu, great experience I will return

Amanda Yannekis

I cannot express how delicious this place is. The service was great. The atmosphere is perfect. The food was absolutely incredible. We got the gluten free waffle Sammy with goat cheese with loaded tots, gravy biscuit sandwich, and kids pancake. Everything was so yummy. I can’t believe it took us this long to try it and can’t wait to try every single thing on the menu. The gluten free and vegan options are perfection! Don’t sleep on this local spot. 10000% worth the visit!
