We ended up at this bakery by accident today. I hadn’t ever sought it out before because of it being vegan, in my experience gluten free + vegan baked goods aren’t the best. Boy was a wrong, I had one of the best cinnamon rolls of my life here (including glutinous ones). The service was lovely, atmosphere was great and I will definitely be back next time I am in the area, the pie looked incredible.
As someone with celiac I really appreciate a dedicated gluten free kitchen. However, the options here are underwhelming. Got the pulled pork fries, which are just fries, pulled pork, and a sauce. Would be much better if there were more ingredients for a little more flavor, and honestly I would hope for a little more for $15
The owner makes everything in house, down the mustard and ketchup. Each item is incredibly flavorful and custom. All items are clearly labeled with allergens, and there is a dedicated GF fryer. I have celiac disease and am very sensitive, I had no problems eating here. Highly recommend trying a mix of everything by way of the sides! Hands down best GF meal we’ve had out in Portland!
Absolutely amazing food! The burger was awesome the fries were on point. The chicken tenders were a little over cooked but lots of variety for gluten free options. The Marionberry lemonade is on point! I will definitely be back. Delicious food and great service! They even have an outdoor eating area.
Discovered this place on Tik Tok by a previous guest. Placed this on my must do - to do list to come to when adventuring on my 10 day Oregon roadtrip. Very hard to find places that are “true healthy” restaurants when traveling.
Stopped in solo 5-30-25 post breakfast hours but before lunch. Was greeted by Cash - SO NICE, great personality!!!! suggestions were made but ultimately I decided to have the Vegan “tuna” chickpea salad sandwich. I had already had breakfast but wanted a light lunch before going hiking. (Had kitchen cut in half for me to take remainder on my hike). Loved the bread (almost sure and hoping it was gluten free) that was toasted lightly but not so hard it was like a crouton. The side soup was a vegetable type soup. Wow! Seasonings were on point with the sandwich and the soup.
Bathroom was clean.
ONLY THING that had me sad was no souvenir sticker. I travel all over the US frequently and enjoy collecting stickers. I don’t need cups, shirts when traveling. Please consider getting stickers.
If I ever come back to Portland area. Hands down you will have a repeat customer coming back. Thank you!!
We went with Verde Cocina as the caterers for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the decision.
Literally everyone came up to us to rave above the food. Having the EVO grill there made for a fun addition to the reception and also really made people feel like they were getting the most fresh high quality food. The cocktails were grabbed up almost immediately. Our only regret there was not buying more cocktails.
The first bite of crab cake we got after hours of photo taking and wedding stuff will go down as a top 5 bite of food i've ever had. the sentiments were shared by many.
Verde Cocina being a gluten-free restaurant and being very sensitive/aware of dietary restrictions was such a massive relief for us and for guests.
Arro(in charge of the catering) was so quick with communication, extremely personable, and made the menu selection process a real joy. He's also just a nice guy, by the time we'd actually gotten married he was so excited to say congrats.
Probably more that could be said, but I would just say if you are still looking for a catering option, just contact them. It will be worth exploring.
Friendly gluten free restaurant with an excellent selection of food, ciders and cocktails. It’s so reassuring to know they use quality ingredients and really care about their product.
My only suggestions are to have a slightly more affordable can beer selection and to make sure food isn’t too hot as I burned my mouth unbelievably bad while eating a chicken sandwich.
Not my 1st time BUT stayed till l8 2 play TRIVIA w my friend and her hubby!
My friend LOVED LOVED LOVED the gluten free choices and the Gluten Free Beer!
Very busy, in a slightly crowded space, my friend and I waited about 20 minutes for a table. She had the egg scramble and I had a breakfast sandwich. Sides of potatoes were good and grits excellent. My sandwich was decent, with some nice flavors, should have gotten the bacon. The scramble was huge and full of veggies. Waiter was very nice and helpful dealing with my friend's gluten issues. This wasn't my 1st time here, but 1st in a while.
This was one of the best meals I have ever eaten. Everything was marvelously flavorful, with just the right blend of spice. The papusas were piping hot and perfectly crispy. The chicken strips were almost too good to be true, it was hard to believe they were gluten free, but Denise reassured me that everything was gluten free :D If I could put more than five stars I would!

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.
Phenomenal food and service. All vegan options with consideration for those who need gluten food as well. A perfect place to satisfy that 'diner' itch without the ambient sausage/bacon stank
The perfect place to take a group with various dietary needs. Classic burger and fries type of place with fantastic options for Gluten Free, Vegan, non-alcoholic and more
My girlfriends and I had a great night out here. Yummy nonalcoholic drinks & menu items that were gluten & dairy free on request. Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcome.
