October Cafe
Accommodating
6046 N Avondale Ave, Chicago, IL 60631, USA
This cozy spot offers a chill vibe year-round, with a fun menu that changes often and a unique atmosphere perfect for relaxation and connection.
I've been meaning to write this review for a long time. I love October Cafe! Such a wonderful spot not too far from me. The staff is super friendly and they have a great selection of vegan and gluten free items across the seasons. As a vegan, I regularly get the Maple Forest Latte and matcha latte. The paletas, cinnamon rolls, pesto panini, and the Mediterranean sandwich are tasty. I also love the small, but thoughtful retail. They regularly change up their offerings. This place is truly excellent for grabbing a sip and a snack. š
Pasta D'Arte Trattoria Italiana
Accommodating
6311 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60646, USA
A modern gem with a chill vibe, offering a solid mix of classic flavors and fun Italian tunesāperfect for a relaxing lunch getaway.
Gem of an Italian place on the northwest side. Foods great drinks are well priced and service is always good. Gluten free options are tasty and never feels āon top of eachotherā even when itās busy.
Amitabul Simply Vegan
Gluten-free options
6207 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60646, USA
With a peaceful vibe and a focus on holistic, low-oil dishes, this spot impresses with its thoughtfully crafted meals that cater to diverse dietary needs.
This place was awesome! I didn't have to worry about fish ingredients a lot of Asian restraunts use, and they had gluten-free options as well! Consider rounding down your spice level if you aren't sure, because I got medium and wow! š„µ So good, though. The atmosphere is so peaceful.
Phil's Pizza D'Oro
Gluten-free options
5800 N Austin Ave, Chicago, IL 60646, USA
A spot known for its generous toppings, a cool party room, and a variety of menu options, including a tasty thin crust pizza.
We just received our delivery order. That came on time and the guy was very nice. No problems there. One of our items was a gluten free pizza. If youāre sadly subjected to the GF life, steer clear. The texture is AWFUL. Literally disintegrates in your mouth and feels like sand. Itās ROUGH. So, Iām pretty much just eating cheese with toppings at this point. So disappointed because I heard so many great things about this place. š Edit: The owner (I think??) or maybe a manager contacted my husband last night. He was very apologetic for the GF pizza and gave my husband a credit to use at a later date. What I failed to mention (bad on me) is my husband enjoyed the pizza he received. He had a regular crust. Weād like to extend our thanks for taking it upon himself (whether it was a manger or the owner) to reach out. That was very kind.
Zia's Social
Gluten-free options
6158 N Northwest Hwy, Chicago, IL 60631, USA
Charming venue with a beautiful patio and flexible indoor space, perfect for events and relaxing, all in a convenient location.
We used to love the previous Ziaās but this place is just as good. The outdoor area is awesome, itās much bigger and the same great food. Iām also gluten free and they have a ton of great options including a great gluten free pizza. Been there many times and taken food to go and itās always good
