I always get take out here. It is a dedicated gluten free restaurant, I don't have to worry about my food choices here. I order a large bowl and it is enough for two meals.
Always fresh and delicious! Six bowl with the potato noodles, vegetables such as broccoli, mushrooms, green beans, choice of chicken, salmon or steak. Gluten free options. Gluten free cookies. Healthy drink options and sparkling water, etc. I love their BBQ chicken!
Decent chain food. If you've been to a PF Changs, you know what you're getting. Take-out. Slow service for how many employees standing around doing nothing. Stingy with Gluten-Free soy sauce but at least they had some.
Listen I love satchels and wish I could eat their regular pizza but my gluten intolerance will not allow. So I opt for the gluten sensitive option millet and flax pizza which is yummy. I do not actually recommend this for anyone who is gluten sensitive. I believe this crust is from Sami’s Bakery and they literally list gluten and wheat as allergens for this pizza due to high cross contamination. I felt terrible after eating this pizza and they should not have this labeled even gluten sensitive.
THE best GF chicken sandwich & fries, you have to try it. The bun is soft & delicious. Fries and chicken are in a designated fryer! Don’t miss this ~ especially if you miss a good ole chicken sandwich
Smaller Metro than some others I have been in so the menu is a bit more limited. Most importantly for us is the availability of meals that are gluten free. There is a separate menu making things easy for those with a celiac medical condition. Enjoyed their steak sandwich. My partner enjoyed an excellent chicken salad on a GF bun. Waitress was wonderful. Decor is simple as you would expect in a local, stripmall eatery. Clean with good food. Metro's chain has not let us down.
I am so mad at myself for not coming here sooner! The food is phenomenal and the restaurant itself is pretty sitting right on the water. My only complaint is that they are very slow and we've been here a few times now.
They are so well informed of gluten free dishes and are extremely accommodating. Normally I don't have many GF options at Asian restaurants but here I couldn't decide what to get!
I ended up ordered the shrimp with lemongrass and it was unbelievably flavorful and the shrimp were large and they gave me the perfect amount. I also have tried the King and I shrimp which was delicious. My husband loves their pad thai.

I am super late posting this lol but I have celiac disease and every time I eat here they are soooo accommodating and have so much options for gluten free meals and I am especially grateful and happy that they have a cheesecake that is delicious and gluten free. ❤️🤤🥰🫶🏻 If you have celiac disease it is safe to eat here and has supply yummy foods.
Absolutely great!
We visited just before Thanksgiving. Lots of people - we definitely understand why.
It's a cool spot with a lot of seating. The staff seems good and friendly.
We tried a combination of several things - my husband tried their steamed bun with ribs and loved it. Then, we moved to gluten free options: grilled shrimp (amazing!), grilled beef (the weakest of all, but still very good), Tuna Kobachi (very good), and two rolls: Big Boss (slightly disappointing, it's very bland, which is surprising) and O-Renji (absolutely amazing).
They have GF menu! <3
Would come back again on another Gainesville visit.
Beautiful, clean, welcoming environment! Danny, Brenny, and Raphael were very helpful & kind. Incredible gluten free options— including sweet potato noodles & coconut chicken tenders. Best meal I’ve had in Gainesville!! Would definitely come back!
The food is very good. I was with a group of 8 today and being Gluten Free and heard we were going Italian I thought I would probably have to eat only salad. Much to my surprise they have a penne GF pasta. GF-Pizza and upon entering I spoke to an employee and he said most things they can make GF.
With that being said …my complaint is about our service. I ordered Penne Alla Ciccio GF….it comes to me with shrimp, I don’t care for shrimp, I immediately asked the waitress if I was given the wrong plate because my dinner had no shrimp on the menu description only chicken.
She told me I was wrong it included both. I thought I had read the menu wrong. On the way home I checked the menu, no my server was wrong. Not only was there shrimp that shouldn’t have been, there was no mushrooms or sun dried tomatoes.
The menu also says those early specials come with a dessert. She brought our checks, never asked anyone about dessert. Someone in our group asked the server when she came to collect our payments. Then, the server says “yes, it comes with cake”. I waited tables and always tip good for good service. Unfortunately she only got 15%. (Table T-9 4/13/25 open time 03:11)
Having lived in Seattle, the chicken pho here is very similar to some of the best I’ve had. The staff is also to ensure the food is gluten free.
The chicken summer rolls were ok, but a little bland.
Our waiter GatorJim was the best! After explaining I had to be Gluten Free Jim led me to several great choices on the main menu to choose from. I had the Spurrier’s Bacon Cheese Burger without the red onion and it was fantastic! I asked what the meat was and the Manager said Wagyu Beef! It was the best ever! My wife had the filet and mac and cheese. The filet was great, but we both like cheddar Mac and cheese so the white cheese kinda threw her off a little. I have to be gluten free and they offer a gluten free bun. I was very happy to see the many Gluten Free and Vegan choices clearly marked on the regular menus. Dessert for both of us was Creme brûlée and was really delicious too! Over all we had a grand experience. Couldn’t ask for better date night out with my honey!
Amazing !!!! I had the gluten free sandwich and it was one of the best I have had. They offer lots of option for gluten free as well as normal sandwiches. Great Find

The best bowls in Gainesville but the worst service. RUDE is an understatement by the employees this last week and today. I order the bowls on the app and usually takes me 30 minutes to pick them up and twice this week the bowls are not ready and I’m given a speech about how they have to stop what they are doing and clean and area and make special bowls. Even questioning me about if it is really a food allergy. You would think there would be a designated area that is only for gluten or dairy allergy that would remain clean. And why when I show up 30 minutes after placing my order it’s never ready because I request GF granola? And I’m lectured about it by some rude employees and then they laugh amongst themselves. Is this the service that Playa Bowls stands by? Because if so I’ll take my daily business elsewhere.

I ordered the vegan gluten free cookie box and they were out of this world. Not only that, but they left the nicest personal note with hearts on the box and my whole heart just melted. Quality customer service. 10/5
Went to Karma Cream to get Gluten free bakery items.Stood waiting, and woman at cash register didn't say good morning ,or may I help you? I stepped up to ask of GF, and she said Only if they decide to have GF available! What? She suggested ice cream!? What?,!The rude attitude wasn't helpful! Why advertise GF bakery products if not the case.Good,and friendly service also goes along way! Remind employees that!Do better!!!
The restaurant had a person vacuuming while we ate (at lunch). The food was not stellar. I would describe the restaurant as gluten friendly, but not a super safe gluten free environment, especially for celiacs.
Thank you Thai, for all your help in looking for Pamela's gluten free bead flour. You showed me a popular different brand! I will try and report back! Thanks
There are a lot of good things to say about Tacos 352. You are immediately welcomed at the door by a kind and helpful staff who is well informed about food safety and allergies. I exclusively seek out restaurants with gluten-free options, and this place is a great option for lunch or dinner. You can get an affordable and flavorful meal here FAST. Other reviews claim the prices are high, but I was able to order 3 very filling tacos for only 10$. I also ordered the clips and salsa ($2.99) and a flan for dessert. They have a nice variety of tacos, burritos, and nachos to choose from. One thing that I believe could be improved is the meat. I ordered the steak tacos, chicken tacos, and an al pastor taco. Every one of the meats was overcooked and dry, BUT the tacos come with sauces on top, which saved the tacos for me. They would be the best tacos in Gainesville, in my opinion, if the meat wasn't dry. As always, ask about gluten-free items and cross contamination at any restaurant before ordering as things can always change. 😉
It's Sonny's so the food is always good. Our waitress was terrific! I asked for no bread and normally that's the end of the conversation but the gluten problem was talked about briefly. She put a note on the order about the allergy and assured me that the kitchen would change their gloves when prepping my lunch. And they did! She was personable and careful with my lunch and if we're over that way again, it's a great place for us to stop by again!
My wife and I went here for a date. The atmosphere was comfortable enough with a rustic, industrial, vintage-like quality. It's a nice break from newer construction.
We liked the gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. We are neither, but those options do accommodate some food that we try to avoid.
The quality of the pizza was high, but we thought that $15 for a 10", thin-crust, scarcely-topped pizza was too high, even in the inflated economy. I'm an average size man, but I imagine that many men would need at least 1 1/2 of those pizzas.
Love Bolay!!! So excited they opened a location on this side of town! The food is yummy and fresh. No one in my family complains about eating gluten free when we're eating at Bolay 🤩😎
Excellent food. Loved the waffles with peach compote and the eggs had a perfect consistency!! Our waitress was amazing too wish I knew her name but she was super friendly and nice. They also had gluten free options and vegan options. We will definetly be back.
Terrible! Don't be fooled by the appearance of this restaurant. The waitress was very annoying, speaking quickly and interrupting us constantly. Every time I tried to ask her a question, she would respond in the middle of my sentence as if she was in a hurry.
We ordered a gluten-free pizza, but the crust was so hard it almost broke my tooth. My friend requested a vegan cheese pizza, but she received a pizza with no cheese at all.
When the bill came, I was in shock. We didn’t order any drinks, and for four people with three pizzas and one calzone, the total was over $100! They charged extra for everything: gluten-free pizza, vegan cheese (even though there was none), and even extra for tomato sauce (we asked for an extra side of sauce). What a robbery!
Amazing experience.
We are here for NYE dinner and it was perfect. For some weird reason, it wasn’t very busy, which we loved. But based on our experience, we shouldn’t have have been able to get a seat that night.
The food was impeccable. Absolutely delicious and thoughtfully made. Incredibly accommodating to our gluten and dairy allergies. Even with the allergy limitations, we had a lot of options.
Service was excellent. Attentive but not overbearing.
A 10 out of 5 experience. It was a little hard to figure out how to get to them but now that we know, we will be regulars!
This was my first time here today and I came for a quiet nice environment to study and do my school work and that is what I got! It is so cute and omg the gluten -free waffle I had is outstanding!! Everyone come here
The Japanese Ramen was outstanding!!!!! I will return soon.
My server Ty was also wonderful and he made sure my dietary needs (gluten free, egg free) were met without issue.
I have also had their Calamari and it is equally wonderful!!!!
I highly recommend this restaurant!!
One Love Café is a laid‑back, open‑air spot tucked into Magnolia Parke Plaza in northwest Gainesville. They’re open Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays), serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunches with bottomless mimosas, bellinis, and Bloody Marys. The ever‑rotating menu of farm‑fresh, locally sourced American handhelds, burgers, salads, and seasonal specials caters to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten‑free diets, and the full bar pours everything from craft cocktails to a solid beer and wine list. Come for karaoke on Tuesdays, Jazz in the Parke every Wednesday, live music Thursday through Sunday—and soak it all in under a canopy of string lights, around a fire pit, or out on the sprawling, kid‑ and dog‑friendly field.
Here’s the inside scoop: One Love tends to get slammed on weekends—especially Fridays and Saturdays—so service can slow down a bit when they’re really busy. Thankfully, that shipping‑container bar out front has helped speed up drink lines big time. If you want a primo spot (think fire‑pit front row or a comfy Adirondack chair), roll in right when they open or at least early enough to snag a table. I always tote a blanket and a folding chair to stake out my territory on the grass. And don’t sleep on happy hour—swing by from 3–5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday for buy‑one‑get‑one half‑off drinks. It’s the perfect little pick‑me‑up or pre‑game ritual.
I love Ichiban! I have a gluten intolerance and the staff here are so accommodating. They can make most any roll gluten free. Yesterday I was in and requested no rice in addition to a gluten free roll and they accommodated my request. So, if you are low carbing you can still have their delicious rolls, there is an upcharge, but for me it's worth it. I also want to say they have the best mia tai in town and always have great service.
Came for my birthday dinner and the food was great! Also Ceci was an amazing server! Definitely my go to place in Gainesville for Mexican food. I have a gluten allergy and have never had an issue here!
