J-Petal & Poke’ Waco

I got glutened here. Told the person on the phone I had a dairy and wheat allergy and they never told me there was wheat in the crab and masago. Very sad bc this was one of my favorite places.

Just ate here for the first time. They were not that busy and our order took about 45 minutes to come out, so BE PREPARED TO WAIT (as other reviews have said). That being said, it was fun to eat a gluten free crepe. I got the Banana Chocolate Truffle WITHOUT the Pocky Sticks which are NOT gluten free. My husband got the Matcha Chocolate Truffle without the Pocky Sticks. They were both ok to good, and a lot of food. I would probably come here again one day maybe in several months, but my go-to places in Waco are Yaki and Baked Bliss - look them up!! :)

We just got to town and I was so hungry. I hadn't had much luck finding gluten free food on the way. My GF app brought me to this place and I AM SO GLAD! I ordered the gluten free savory steak crepe and the fruit dessert crepe. The steak crepe was packed with fresh veggies and sweet and spicy steak. The dessert crepe was full of strawberries, bananas, raspberries and blueberries. Kapow!!! Tastebud explosion. I shared both with my husband. That was a lot of crepe! We

I ate here twice with my celiac brother when we visited Waco. We didn’t eat crepes, but we made custom poke bowls and neither of us got sick. It was really yummy and I’m so grateful that there was a place we could eat safely! Most of their sauces are gf, too!

My daughter is a celiac and she didn’t get sick. They have tons of GF options. I’m also allergic to soy and they accommodated both of our allergies.

Loved it!!!! So so good, and mostly everything is GF. Staff was extremely knowledgeable about which items to avoid, which was little. I also had the crepes and it was SO good. I hadn’t had crepes in 7 years. Definitely recommend.

Wow wow wow. Totally blown away by how delicious and gf safe this place was. ALL the crepes are completely gf (rice based) so zero cross contamination risk (unless you add Pockys to them). All the Poke bowls are gf and they make all the sauces themselves—only two add on sauces (eel/unagi and the honey wasabi) contain wheat. The staff was super knowledgeable and friendly and kind. I got the beef savory crepe and the berry twist sweet one, and they made great leftovers. My partner got the salmon poke bowl and loved it. We’ll definitely be back!!

We were in Waco for our first vacation after a Celiac’s diagnosis. The owner was very knowledgeable and walked us through the menu options. I had poke and my daughter had a rice-crepe filled with fruit and and Nutella. We devoured our food and wished we had come here earlier in our visit! Highly recommend.

Driving thru Waco we found this unique restaurant. It was small and every table was full. I have not had crepes in decades but this place was wonderful. The crepes are big enough for two! We will definitely go back!

My husband and I have eaten here twice in less than a week. If that tells how amazing this place is....I don't know what will! The food is phenomenal. It's different but so, so yummy. The staff is friendly and more than willing to accommodate you in anyway. If you only eat at one place in Waco, this is it. Bowls and crepes!

The entire staff is very knowledgeable about celiac disease and the proper precautions to take to avoid cross contamination. All of their crepes are made with rice flour 100% gluten free. Poke bowls can be made GF very easily. Staff also double checked ingredients on tai tea before serving.

Food was so good we came back a second time in the same day. The portions are very generous and the quality was outstanding

The majority of the menu is GF. All of the sauces are clearly marked if they are not GF

I had salmon lovers bowl and told them I had Celiac so they could modify it to make it GF. Was awesome and safe! They take it seriously and understand!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent crepes - I had #1 sweet crepe with fruit and it was so good. My husband had an egg savory crepe and though it was a bit spicier than he anticipated, it was still great! I am highly sensitive - they took all necessary precautions and I was not sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everyone is pretty knowledgeable and will go over options with you. Totally made me feel welcome. The food is delicious. Got a crepe and the Thai tea ice cream

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is one of the most gluten conscientious restaurant I have been to. They were super careful not to cross contaminate and their sauces were labeled.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have a dairy free ice cream. Today, vanilla. Crepes are tasty. Willing to work around food intolerances. Knowledgeable about ingredients. Nice people.

Incredibly tasty crepes and bowls. Avoid the imitation crab and check on the sauces, but besides that almost everything was gluten free.

Good Poke Bowls, F***king amazing Gluten Free Crêpes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Such a fun little restaurant! They serve poke bowls, sweet and savory crepes, and rolled ice cream. Best part of all, their crepes are gluten free so pretty much all of them are safe to eat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
