The Sit Down Cafe

We had a great experience here. Waiter told us the owner is celiac, so they know what they are talking about.

GF menu with lots of options. We skipped the pizza (they have a separate rack, but goes in oven with gluten pizzas). Have a separate prep area for GF food. My daughter had steak sandwich on GF bread with kettle chips. Great meal felt very safe.

Ordered a second meal a day later to take with us to the airport.

I have celiac disease but don't get GI symptoms. I had a great experience at this restaurant. The waitress was familiar with the kitchen's precautions for preparing things gluten free without cross contamination. The waitress all made sure to get me gf soy sauce without me even having to ask. And I enjoyed the food too!

My girlfriend got a GF chicken pesto (from fresh picked basil!). I shared a Philly roll with her, they had GF soy sauce. They are aware of the imitation crab and exclude California rolls from the GF dedicated menu for this reason. Server was very attentive and knowledgeable. They have fresh fish on display (and it doesn't smell like fish, so it's good!) Owner came and checked on us even. Great experience!

So delicious! They have a GF menu and were very knowledgeable. I felt very confident eating there, but the pizza crust was so good it was hard to believe it was gluten free!

Amazing gf pizza! Great at being careful. Wish I could eat the whole pizza in one sitting, it’s so good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered a pizza off of their GF menu. Asked for fresh/uncontaminated toppings for my pizza and they were more than willing to accommodate. Very friendly and understanding staff. My pizza was SO good, I got nervous halfway through that it wasn’t gf crust because it tasted so good. I had no issues after eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I am visiting my son in Chicago and found Sit Down Cafe through this app. There were many good reviews so I ordered a pizza. It was the best GF pizza that I’ve ever had. There are also GF dessert options. I tried the cheesecake and it was delicious. I will definitely return whenever visiting Chicago.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service was swift and friendly. Water glasses were upside down on napkins, thankfully NOT on the table surface, which is a pet peeve of mine. Great selection of gluten free foods! LOVED IT!

Loved the food! Went back two days in a row when staying in Hyde Park. The pizza was the best GF pizza I think I've ever had. The chicken soup was amazing. Sometimes half the battle of eating GF is trusting the food you're served. No issues. Would gladly go back again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have eaten here many times without having any adverse reaction. All food including salad dressings are prepared on site and taste great.

Yes it is very celiac friendly but the options are still limited and the food....wasn't extraordinary. Mediocre at best.

Yes

Excellent food, knowledgeable staff. Great pizza and sushi.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Large selection, wasn't crowded. The food didn't sit well with me, but I was already not feeling good. I had a pizza which was huge and cheap but tasted really good. Nice staff and its near uni of Chicago so there is a ton of options and good knowledge in Hyde park.

Where to begin? Is Very kid and family friendly. They have a real baby changing table, not a plastic thing on the wall. So many gf options. Sushi (a little pricey) uses radishes cut to look like noodles (very tasty) instead of rice. The most amazing salads with quality ingredients. Grilled sandwiches with Udis bead and wonderful combinations with the freshest ingredients (around $9.50) fresh berries available as a side. Large portion of soups for the price $4.75. Best coffee my husband had all weekend. Oh and a very good selections of GF desserts. Marjolaine cake was so delicious! only $5!! The owner is a celiac so they are extra careful here. We're from California, but when anywhere in the vacinity, we'll be back. Highly recommend checking it out!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My favorite restaurant (and I live in Michigan)! Their bread comes from a local bakery and is incredible. I highly highly recommend the chicken pesto and which and cheese and pepper bruschetta... but really everything is simply delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Separate gluten free menu with a lot of options! I had the chicken, artichoke, pesto and red pepper sandwich. It's grilled on Udi's bread. It was really good. Patricia was a great server to ask for.

Wonderful food! I had a chicken and pesto sandwich with veggie chips. Prosciutto rolls were also great! Gluten-free menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very conscientious about cross contamination. The owner took the time to stop at our table and explain their practices when I expressed my concerns to the waitress. Nice selection and delicious sandwiches!

Celiac friendly?

Wonderful place, great tasting food, and a truly gluten free establishment that caters to people with gluten allergies and celiac disease. They even have 2 separate kitchens!
