They have GF cupcakes. They are good! They store them separately and top them with separate saccapoche to avoid cross-contamination. I am celiac and this is a wonderful place to enjoy something sweet!

I was really excited to go here and get gf crepes. The reviews made it seem super safe. We walked in a the staff was not friendly whatsoever, the girl practically threw the cups and water at our table. I was watching them cook the crepes and they cleaned everything with what looked like chemical cleaning spray. I was also nervous because I could only see the one container of nutella that they were using for all of the non-gf crepes and was questioning if they would open a new container. They didn’t, I watched them use the exact same knife and container for my crepe. Overall disappointed.

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.

Stopped in while traveling through Iowa City. Very spacious and modern. They have 2 different order points- 1 for coffee and 1 for food. This was nice as the lunch line was long and we just got drinks. The Gluten-free Blueberry Muffin was good, although a little on the dry side.

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.

I went here for my anniversary and the food could not have been better. I have lots of food allergies (gluten, dairy, peanuts) and Mackenzie was the best! The kitchen was extremely allergy friendly and conscious- the best meal I’ve had in IC!

The food is delicious and affordable, especially on Saturdays when kids eat free with the purchase of an adult meal. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The menu has gluten free and vegan options, which is a huge plus.

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!

I got two flavors: Cake batter and Strawberries & cream. I topped it with strawberry slices, strawberry popping pearls, and yogurt chips. There are about 10 yogurt flavors, but maybe 50 different toppings, so it's highly customizable. The store is local and eco conscious, the staff are friendly, and there are options for those with dietary restrictions such as dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan. Price is by weight, so be careful how you fill your dish. The yogurt pumps are self-serve and go fast, so it's easy to accidentally leave little room for toppings or buy more yogurt than you meant to.

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 absolutely love this place. Their food is delicious, and they are always happy to make it gluten free for me with no trouble. I also really respect/love every restaurant that’s open late for night owls like me who want some real food at 2AM. My only wish is that they were open all day long for my lunch craving too, haha!!

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!

My first visit to Harry's. Gluten-free pancakes are on the menu. I asked if they made GF waffles; it seemed like they may not have in the past, but the chef said he could make a gluten-free waffle for me. I am uncertain of the cost as iI did not see or pay the bill (another ember of our party did). I haven't ever been to a restaurant that had GF waffles, so it was a special treat for me! It wasn't crowded at 830 am on Friday. Amanda was an attentive server and was very pleasant. Looking forward to trying the GF pancakes and several unique omelets on future occasions.

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!

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.

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.
