Oryza has become a staple of our Asian food expeditions whenever the desire arises. The primary reason is my wife has Celiac’s and therefore must avoid gluten. Oryza fortunately uses corn based flour, not wheat. This wizardy allows food allergen victims to be able to eat from their diverse menu. Their food preparation is excellent. The atmosphere is chill. The service is fantastic. We’ve had only 1 negative experience and noticed that same server was not employed there for much longer. ANYWAYS- this is a great place for Asian cuisine. The owner is always friendly and recognizes us when we visit.
I love Trumpet Blossom. I come here every time I come to Iowa city. The food is delicious and plant based. I am a meat eater, and yet I love all the dishes here. I feel like I miss nothing. As a gluten-free, dairy-free individual, I love knowing there's a restaurant I can come to, and I can nearly pick anything on the menu and know that it is safe for me to eat. They're also very conscious of gluten allergies and can accommodate with delicious options. This waste not, want not vibe make me feel at home and inclusive. I highly recommend the turmeric latte tastes wonderful, and it's full of antioxidants. You just can't beat going to a restaurant that gives you the vibe, the great food experience, and a feeling that you've enhanced your health when your done.
Cute diner with friendly staff and great food. We went with party of 6, some had breakfast, some salad or sandwich. Everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend the Bluebird juevos as it was excellent. They even had good gluten free pancakes for our celiac group member.
My wife and I had a wonderful evening here for NYE! Food and wine pairings were phenomenal and we enjoyed discussing French wine with the owner. They have a wide variety of options for Gluten Free on their menu and all the food we tried was delicious. We will be back!
You walk in and order at the counter. Waitress was very nice. I had questions about gluten free and she gave a gf options menu. Food came out as ordered and quickly. The beef brisket sandwich , and coleslaw were good (gf bun was an awesome surprise). I loved the self serve bbq sauce counter, and drinks are self serve. Everything was clean and very kid friendly atmosphere . Thank you :)
As a celiac coming into town for a few days, it was a little bit stressful to try to find gluten-free options here. However, the staff quickly oriented me to their options, and most of the menu can be made safe for us. The meals I had there were delicious and filling and healthy. Highly recommend.
They were accommodating & knowledgeable about my children's celiac disease. We aren't able to eat many places, so this was a special treat! The atmosphere was very clean & classy. The food was presented beautifully & delicious!
Wow. What a gem! If you're looking for Italian in Iowa, look no further! Not to mention if you're gluten-free like me, the staff was very knowledgeable about substitutions and can help you find something to eat. The highlight of my visit was a crustless cheesecake.
I am celiac highly symptomatic. I go to eat here frequently. They have a GF menu with many options. The staff and the kitchen are aware of contaminations. Food is amazing: you can have burgers, steak, oysters, breakfast sandwich and a great mimosa!
I am a celiac and was pleasantly surprised that they have a whole gluten-free menu with lots of options! One of the servers said that she is a celiac, too. That was cool.
The only thing that made me nervous was the wooden cutting boards they served my gluten free food on. Not sure how they clean them, or if they keep them separate from gluten serving boards, but I know we should mistrust all wooden utensils due to their absorbency. These had obvious cut marks on them and everything.
Happily though, I didn't feel and signs of being glutened. With major gluten ingestions I definitely feel symptoms, and I had none to report here. Hopefully that bodes well.

I really enjoy this patio that is dog-friendly. The atmosphere is great, and they have a variety of vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. The margarita is particularly impressive.
Delicious breakfast spot with lots of local charm. The Baja special as a skillet was delicious and gluten free. They have GF toast and will even make French toast with it.
Great sushi and great gluten free options! They even have gluten free imitation crab. Pretty much anything other than tempura can be made gluten free, and the waitress and manager were knowledgeable. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again!
I'm not a coffee drinker but went to get one for my wife and the staff was very accommodating to my lack of knowledge in coffee linguistics. My wife loves this place and this is a mandatory stop every time she's in the neighborhood. They also have gluten free treats which are also a must have. This last time I got 3 cherry and pecan energy balls. Would recommend this place and will be going back for sure.
Amazing gluten free pasta-- the best I've had in a restaurant! Such a great atmosphere with a cool Italian vibe & decor & lively atmosphere. The service is always friendly, attentive (but not overly annoying!) & knowledgeable.
Friends and I go here after big tests. It's a great place to hang out after a stressful day.
My wife is also allergic to wheat, and we appreciate that they have a gluten free menu and are really considerate of her restrictions.
Amazing cafe and book store combined
This makes a unique atmosphere. I absolutely love it. Excellent coffe and matcha. Also great gluten free and vegan pastry. Highly recommend!
This was my 1st visit. The food and service exceeded our expectations. The vegetarian and Celiac members of our group were accomodated easily. We'll be back!
Food was excellent. I had a gluten free bun with a beyond burger, and both the bun and patty were perfect. Wonderful atmosphere. Drinks are reasonably priced and tasty as well. Good for small groups! The owner is incredibly kind and checked on us after our food came out. We will be back again soon!
Seemingly endless choices for sushi! Had a friend with celiac disease and the waitress was super knowledgeable about options she could eat safely. Pretty much you could have a sushi roll made to order with whatever ingredients you see on the menu. Other dinner choices are available too. It is not just sushi.
