Finally got to try this cafe in November- very sad to hear it's closing. 100% gluten free places are so hard to find- they had a great panini & banana bread that I tried with quite an extensive menu for breakfast & lunch.

Please no outside food. Please let us know of any allergies or sensitivities you have every time you order so we can implement cross contamination procedures regarding this. Many items can be made dairy free with options chosen. We do not serve alcoholic beverages. Our seating capacity is 28. There are 2 big tables that can fit 4-6 each. We are able to move tables together whenever possible to accommodate a group. We do not take reservations except for special pop up dinners and other special occasions when posted as required.
I have ordered in advance for several of their specialty “pop up” events. The food is very fresh and has been timed to be ready within just minutes of my chosen pickup time every time. I love that they regularly offer a variety of themed nights with food I would never bother to make for myself, in a totally GF kitchen where I never need to worry about being ill after. Inside the restaurant itself there isn’t a lot of space and you self clear you plates but I have mostly done takeout and either way the food has been deliciously worth it every single time.

Stopped in to grab some delicious take out from Cafe Avalaun today. We ordered ahead of time and went to pick it up. The wait was only about 15 minutes but everything was made to order including the paczki. The catfish poboy was super filling and came with a homemade hot sauce that was delicious. The beignets came in a pack of 4 and are a steal at five bucks! We each got a paczki (poppyseed, lemon curd and strawberry). There is about 10 tables in the building if you would like to eat there but they have a strong take out presence. I highly recommend this place as for gluten and dairy free options!

Yay!!! So glad you enjoyed everything. Much gratitude for taking the time to post your review here!
Two thumbs up! We were traveling and came in close to the end of the business day. I was a little concerned we would be too late to get food other than what was in the bakery case, but staff was very nice. We got 2 kinds of crepes, a salad, and assorted baked goods. It was the best Caesar salad I’ve had; I wished I had ordered the bigger size! We didn’t finish the sweet crepe b/c it wasn’t our thing, but the savory one was great. We would def go again if we found ourselves in the area.

Best dedicated gf restaurant. Their biscuits were baked to perfection, fried chicken was crispy and moist. Sauces were delicious. Waffles taste like regular waffles. Will definitely come back.

The entire place is dedicated gluten free, soy free, peanut free restaurant. They have several dairy free options and everything is marked very well. My son had the Mexican Jumping bean coffee and Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, I had the grilled chicken club and we shared a large garlic fries. The portions are huge! The large fry was 2 plates! Amazing place and atmosphere. The staff is super kind and confident. We will be back when up for more drs appointments!

My husband and I enjoyed their Sunday brunch menu! We tried the fried chicken biscuit “sando”, which was so so good. The Korean BBQ chicken sandwich was also amazing. Some of the best fried chicken I’ve had since going gluten free 4+ years ago. The buns and biscuits were also so soft and fluffy (but didn’t crumble)!
I will say, I don’t know know if they had an off day because everyone in the reviews rave about their baked goods. My husband liked the banana bread, but the carrot cake was too wet and bitter. The snickerdoodle cookie was also bitter and hard.

Food was tasty and able to be mostly made dairy free. They had goodies, drinks and meals. I thought prices were high for sandwiches since they don’t come with a side.

My boyfriend got me a birthday cake from Cafe Avalaun and it was one of the best cakes I've ever had. It was a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was perfectly moist and the frosting was perfection! We both devoured it and he isn't gluten free! I need to go back to check out more of their offerings. The cake was 10/10!

We live out of state and stopped here for lunch recently. My Daughter is celiac and we travel a lot so finding safe places to eat can be difficult. Our food was delicious and my Daughter loved her Nutella crepe! We would definitely visit again.

I freaking love this place. Entire establishment is gluten free. If you live in the area get on their mailing list because sometimes they even have specialists in certain cuisines come in and make a GF version (ramen, Italian, sushi, etc).

Love that is dedicated gluten free! Visiting my uncle here in Cleveland and my husband has Celiac. They have a nice brunch menu, and several selections of baked goods. The food was tasty. Cupcakes were about $5 each - we didn't try them, but they looked good. Would go back again to try regular breakfast and/or lunch.

My absolute favorite gluten free restaurant I eat there everyday when I’m in Cleveland. I wish they had a location in my hometown. The staff is super friendly chef Brian is always super nice to me. They all know me by name even months after I left I came back for work and they all recognized me. If you are ever in Cleveland please go here

Everything was so good! The fries are a must and also tried the BLT and a cupcake. My non-GF friend said the cupcake was one of the best they’ve ever had! A little pricy, but worth it for good GF food.

Absolutely wonderful! Everything is GF, so we didn't have to worry about cross contamination. They have a large variety of pastries and they were delicious. We even sat on some for a few days and they stayed soft unlike some GF pastries. I tried the grilled cheese and the BLT, both were amazing. The garlic fries are also amazing. Highly reccomended!

This place is amazing, highly recommend! The food was delicious and the owner/chef was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about allergies - not just celiac/gf. As someone with a dairy allergy, I often find it difficult to find places to eat, especially on vacation, but this place was a gem and I’ll definitely be returning!

This place is absolutely amazing! If you have to eat gluten free, or even if you dont, this place is a must go to. The biscuits are indescribable, the crepes, omelettes, baked goods, french fries .....all delicious! My husband is not celiac and raves about the biscuits, can't believe they're gluten free, he also loved the crepes and Nashville.chicken sandwich. We live about 40 minutes away and will drive there for the Nashville chicken sandwich. If you haven't been you need to go, even if it's a little drive it will be worth it.

INCREDIBLE gluten free restaurant. I have had Celiac for 17 years now and have never found such incredible baked goods, breads, crepes.
They also have pop-up dinner nights which are always great too. The calzone nights and Italian nights are my favorite so far. Oh, and the tiramisu! So many options for foods I never get to enjoy otherwise

You can tell the owner, Brian, is a really talented chef. His pop-up dinners are always worth a trip. You can tell every single part has thought put into it. Of all the things, a red cabbage side from the German dinners is one of my favorites. I also really liked the Thai menu! My boyfriend (with no dietary restrictions) kept talking about the holiday beef Wellington. I don't know how he does so many diverse things so well.
That being said, the regular menu is also great. The Nashville hot chicken is an obvious star.
And, of course, the whole place is GF and worry-free.
