Top 5 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Mahopac

UNBELIEVABLE vegetarian and vegan eats with a creative menu and portions sized like if they were Super Mario after he ate the super mushroom. This place serves up organic, traditional, vegan (but also vegetarian and can basically turn almost anything into gluten free upon request). You want it, just say it. They can mix and match and adapt to your dietary needs which is so awesome especially when sitting down with a group of dietary alternative friends. It makes it easy and anyone can order what they want without feeling bad (physically and emotionally haha). Where do I even BEGIN with the food, the true star of the show. Came here with a dear friend that wanted to treat us to lunch and I was convinced I wanted to go the bowl route but when I saw chicken and waffles with fried oyster (I think) mushrooms instead of chicken, I was SOLD. This is such a hard one to ever be able to order since the only substitution they’ll ever give you is fruit, or simply just a Belgian waffle. Not at Brooklyn Organic Kitchen. You order, they DELIVER. And my deliver I mean SLAY. Wow wow wow. Please look at my mushroom chicken and waffles, a work of art drizzled in this hot agave syrup with a kick. Just a touch. I told you the portions were super Mario size and just take a look at it, double “chicken” double waffle. You can order and share because the sizing here is huge. Yes, the prices are a little bit more elevated but you’re also paying to eat organic food, with (almost) any dietary restriction possible. I also tried the vegan Philly cheese steak and my brain isn’t doing well at comprehending HOW that mushrooms cut looked like meat. My brain is unwell at how they got it just RIGHT. From the flavors, to the portions to the presentation BOK is an incredible gem that I’m so glad we got to discover thanks to our friend. We left full, satisfied and with to go boxes but my belly was happy the next day getting to enjoy waffles (with fruit this time) right from home. It probably won’t be possible for you to leave room for dessert since they kind of don’t even let you leave with any room for even breathing after enjoying delicious homemade food BUT, if you so were inclined to or even managed to masterfully leave room for dessert (super Mario size), they do have muffins, cinnamon rolls, cake, cookies, cupcakes - all kinds of things. Can’t wait to give those a try next time. We will try to think ahead and share so we can actually leave room for dessert **challenge accepted**.

This is my home away from home. We came here when they first opened - and since then they have added so many gluten free options. The pasta - to die for. The gluten free bread - ridiculously perfect. The ambience - modern meets rustic with tasty options and diversity. You can’t miss. I am almost disappointed to post this because if I can’t get a table on Saturday evening because everyone knows how great they are - I will have to remove my posting. The service is unparalleled. Two thumbs up. Unbelievable.

Happened upon this place for brunch on a Saturday. So glad I did! Besides the really fun atmosphere, the staff is just awesome. I had a bunch of questions while ordering and she had tons of really helpful and delicious suggestions. Healthy local food. Farm to table juicing (awesome); I got a grapefruit juice with orange juice ice cubes in it. I'm gluten free, they were totally accommodating. I got an omelet with carmelized onions, mushrooms, peppered bacon, and avocado on the side. Special acknowledgement to Ivanna; she is apparently new but was the woman that helped us make our order. Owner took the time to greet customers and say hi to everyone. This place is top notch.
