This was the first time we went to this restaurant and I can’t tell you how lovely the experience was. The energy was calm and soothing, the music old cafe jazz, you could almost feel like you were in a French bistro hole in the wall except for all the Americana pics covering the walls. It felt like coming home. As a person with celiac there are precious few spaces that aren’t dedicated gluten free that are actually safe for us. This is just such a place. We will be going back regularly. Also, lest I forget, both my husband and myself had the Cascadia burger. I had the one patty because 2 is too much, OMG was this ever juicy - and fries!!! I could order great fries without worry 🥰 It was perfect. Thank you to whoever you are who put this place together. I felt cared for.
Unfortunately, this restaurant is not one I can trust for a gluten free meal, even though they do offer gluten free options. I told the server that I am celiac, and she assured me that the gluten free pasta is prepared separately and not cross contaminated. This is the important part--the pasta they served me was NOT GLUTEN FREE! I thought it didn't look as described in the menu (for the gluten free pasta), so thank goodness I questioned it BEFORE I ate it! They gave me regular pasta. It would have sickened me for days if I had eaten it. Celiac disease is serious, and any amount of gluten can cause damage to the lining of your intestines, not to mention just the side effects for the days following. No apologies were offered by the server and our service was very poor overall. No checking on us, water refills, etc. I am leaving this review to encourage others with celiac or gluten sensitivity to be extra cautious. I will not return.
In addition, our party of 4 was cold (we ate with our coats on), again, no one checked on us for anything, we were there for 2 hours, and everyone else felt that their food was underwhelming. There wasn't one thing about the experience that would encourage any of us to return.
I have visited here many times and will keep coming back!! I have even reccomended this to my very gluten sensitive friend since the entire menu is certified gluten free. The food is absolutely delicious every time I come here and I've always been served by very friendly staff. The variety of drinks are great and the options for syrups is fun! The atmosphere is cute and perfect for brunch any day!
i LOVE the golden california roll! have been coming here for years. it was the first place i tried sushi and liked it. i have gone gluten free recently and they are great to accommodate.
I have been a regular breakfast patron and have recently been diagnosed with celiac. The accommodation for a GF meal was amazing. I ordered the burrito and just asked for it to be dumped in the bowl. Our server suggested the corn tortillas, and it was INCREDIBLE. They also use a separate flat top for GF. Highly recommend. Had a soy cappuccino and the seasonal cider.
It’s a tiny place with BIG delicious food! I haven’t had anything there yet that I didn’t love. Excellent gluten-free and vegan food and baked goods! The scones and muffins, etc., are delicious. Definitely don’t skip out on anything maple glazed!
I’ve been here several times since their renovation and can’t get enough! They no longer sell donuts, but are now an amazing breakfast cafe! Lots of gluten free & dairy free options to choose from, children and pet friendly (on the patio) & a few cocktails to choose from including bottomless mimosas! Definitely my new favorite breakfast spot in town!
Their gluten free crust is AMAZING. I ordered a gluten free and vegan pizza with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, sliced tomatoes, and basil. It was amazing! Classic, old school American pizza.
The food, the service, the atmosphere... absolutely fantastic! I would rate this place more than 5 stars if I could! They have outstanding food, and the gluten free options are plentiful. I will definitely be back, and have also already recommended this place to several of my friends!
Food was awesome!
You see the dough being spun around
Gluten-free options
Price was really good!
Pizza was HUGE
There is.ice cream here?!?! And it's GOOD?!?!?!
Really nice music, and even toys for little kids!
This is one of my favorite restaurants! Would HIGHLY recommend!
My wife and I shared a delicious fig salad as an appetizer. She had the Iron Burger with gluten free buns and I had the Lamb Curry burger. Both were absolutely delicious. The garlic fries sides were a bit small, but that was ok. I had a couple glasses of excellent Malbec. It was quiet for a Saturday night which tells me people were totally missing out on a great dining experience. Make sure to visit the Iron Rabbit!
TONS of Gluten Free options here! Very friendly, very accommodating! Great foods! This is a vegan restaurant and they have soooooooo many gluten free options.
I've had several frustrating experiences at Red Robin that have left me disappointed. Time and again, my orders have been wrong—missing toppings I paid extra for, missing salad dressing, incorrect cheese, and even a gluten bun when I have an allergy. One visit, I opted for curbside pickup, but despite checking in right before my order was due, I waited over 15 minutes with no updates. When I finally went inside, my food was just sitting there, cold. I usually do curbside orders from here due to my service dog and autoimmune disease, there needs to be more regard for the need of these services and accessibility to disabled individuals.
When I spoke with the Assistant General Manager about the delay, he mentioned the host was busy, but that's not an excuse for serving cold food. There should have been better coverage to ensure orders were handled promptly. On my latest visit, going inside hoping to avoid these issues, I couldn't help but feel like I was met with attitude from the hostess, which only added to my frustration. I still got the wrong cheese like I have on an occasion before and my chicken was even rubbery this time. I'm tired of feeling like Karen with a phone-call after that has begun to feel routine for this particular location.
Overall, I love the food when it’s right, but the repeated mistakes and lack of customer service have made it difficult to enjoy my visits. I hope they can address these issues, as I’d love to return and have a better experience.
I really like a few of the employees too so it's hard to leave a negative review.
A little pricier than other grocery stores in the area but the service and quality of items make it worth it! Excellent selection of Gluten Free treats, delicious sushi and delicious items. The produce is glorious and I always leave with a little plant from their flloral section.
My new favorite! A group of food trucks with something for everyone. Arepa has south American street food and because the bread is all corn flour, it's naturally gluten free. A lot of new foods to try! The cubana blew my mind.
If you’re looking for a place to grab the most fantastic brunch in town, you’ve found it! The chef puts together a seasonal menu that is definitely outside the box and very fresh! Lots of amazingly delicious gluten free options.
I had the best experience here - the man working went above and beyond to ensure my gluten free sandwich was safe for me to eat. Highly recommend and wish we had this option in Canada ◡̈
I come to this Food Coop almost every other day. One of my favorites because they have a microwave to warm food up if needed. Also have a good variety of baked goods for vegan /gluten free. They have a good variety of all food throughout the store as well. I'm glad it's in the middle of town as this grocery store is the only one that has ready to eat vegan meals available when I don't have a lunch. The staff are also super nice and always have a positive attitude. 😊 I highly recommend the Olympia Food Co-op !
I've been gluten free for over 20 years now (before it was cool), and I can honestly say the gluten free pizza here is possibly the best I've ever had. The sourdough crust is beyond words, and the Hop Sauce absolutely SLAPS (as the young'uns say). I always appreciate a taproom that offers a wide selection of ciders and seltzers, and I wasn't disappointed by the array offered here. The atmosphere is great, and if I lived in Olympia, I'd be a regular for sure.
Fantastic gluten-free gelato in Olympia! First time getting scoops here, and I tried the "Olympia Fog," which is a blend of local tea, rose, and vanilla. My 2nd scoop was Cardamon, which is a blend of spices. This made my small cup perfection!! I'm impressed by the unique spin to the flavors. Even vanilla had a twist to make it more favorable. I love experiencing a good bite. So I'm happy my mom and I decided to give this place a try instead of our usual place. We will be coming back for more scoops in the future and maybe check it out during their happy hour! I am curious what seasonal flavors they will create, too.
Such a great place right off the highway. They have many gluten free options. They know what's gf and what's not. Service was prompt and nice. I got the burger with a GF bun and the bun was not dry or did it crumble in my hands. Wish I was closer. You should eat here. Only downside is the paper towels suck in the bathroom.
DAMN! Ya’ll just out here putting all mall burger joints to shame ! These burgers have no business being this good. The quality of the drinks , waffle parm truffle fries and sauces are flavortown worthy. Get some! Great gluten free bun for burgers ! Yuzu lemonade is amazing
Great tasting pizza - fresh ingredients. The best gluten-free pizza crust in town. Took off one star because the last time we ordered take out the pizza was burnt pretty badly. Only time that ever happened, so next time will just check it before leaving.
This was my first experience here. The highlights were definitely the spring rolls (and their delicious gluten free/vegetarian sauce options), and the black sticky rice and mango dessert. I tried the Tom kha soup and yellow curry dishes as well. The veggies were undercooked and there was something off about the flavors in both dishes that was off-putting. Also the no spicy option was too spicy. All in all I would say it's a good place to get spring rolls and dessert!!
I have ordered to go twice from here now. Both dishes have been excellent. First time I had the clear noodles, they were good. Second time I had the Narai fried rice, serving size was very generous and it had good flavor. I ordered both dishes gluten free, they're very accommodating about it. Wife had the clear noodles not gluten free and said it had amazing flavor.

Getting FroYo is one of my favorite treats for myself. Menchie's makes almost all of their mixtures gluten-free, which means I can eat nearly everything.
Lots of tasty gluten free and dairy free options. I felt safe ordering and the guy was super friendly and knowledgeable, guiding me away from certain things. So appreciative!!
And the food was bomb tasty. I got the #5 with a side of roast pork. All safe to eat and great for breakfast or brunch.
Support this business! We need more safe options in town right??? These guys deserve the love!❤️
Parking was hidden down the alley. There are spaces there on the gravel for the park.
Lots of picnic benches and some ate covered in case of rain. It’s in a cute little park.
It’s an iHop, what more could you want? Open early and closing late, and hot breakfast thrown your way. It’s pretty good here, and I’ve always had good service. Last time I was there, I tried the gluten-free pancakes, and they were not my favorite. But I feel like that was on me for expecting more.
Local small business with a decent variety, lots of vegetarian/vegan options and gluten-free options are noted on the menu. I prefer my sweet potato fries a bit more crispy, and it was a little pricey, but the chimchurri chicken tacos were amazing.
This has become one of my favorite places to grab a bite in Oly. Truly a hidden Gem! Gluten free Sammy's. I LOVE their raspberry grilled cheese with chicken added. Handcrafted shakes or juice and coffee. If you have not already you must try out this place and check out their Sanctuary outside seating. They place soundbath music. And sell cute little trinkets too.
Great gluten-free menu, our server was very accommodating and very friendly. Would definitely recommend this location for a family friendly date night!
Nice spot for a nice dinner out. I had the shrimp, artichoke appetizer, and the caprese salad. All were super tasty. I ordered the garden party cocktail, and it was light and refreshing. Price was higher, but good quality experience. I paid about $68 before tips, splitting the artichoke appetizer.
Patio was nicely shaded. Quiet enough that it was a good place for conversation.
Parking would be easy to get. I'd leave the kids at home for this one, save it for a date night.
Vegetarian options were good. Gluten free options were available.
Super popular location, so if you are in a rush, consider visiting just before or after the lunch hours as they are seemingly always slammed. The staff are a mix of really dynamic personalities and lackluster folks just there for a paycheck. For the most part, they are fantastic. I frequent this place and my only wish is that they offer more gluten free options and label the ones they do have. Once, I overheard an employee tell a customer that certain holiday cookies were gluten free, but there was no way to know to ask that. If you need to customize your order, I recommend you go inside. The drive thru is next to a busy street and the staff often struggle to hear over the road noise, especially on rainy days.
Love this place. Everything about it.
A great casual breakfast place and friends' meetup spot for a bite of good food.
I think they have more than breakfast?...look it up!
The home fries...crispy on all sides!
The Benedict...excellent ham, homemade and spectacular Hollandaise.
The poached egg...solid whites and perfect runny yolks (super fresh egg) to soak into my optional gluten free toast
French toast looked scrumptious and the biscuits looked excellent....next time!
The staff and owner...warm.and kind.
The weekend wait?...coffee and cups and cream await you..no begging the busy staff...go pour yourself a cup and chat or people watch or stare at your shoes. BITS is worth the wait.
