Local neighborhood coffee shop with arepas, which are gluten free & insanely delicious! You must order 2 to an order. Mango arepa is a must; I love the pulled pork, too. I’ve never had a reaction after many visits.

Good little spot with arepas and fruit juices (amongst other items that aren’t GF). So nice to get an arepas - rare treat.

The “arepas” staple of Venezuelan diet is re-invented as small warm sandwiches. They are all GF because they are made with Harina Pan (fine corn flour). Warm and crunchy with a variety of possible fillings and also delicious coffee.
