Rice flour crepes. They flagged it as a gluten allergy and I didn’t get sick.

I was really happy with my meal here. The employees were knowledgeable about GF items and made sure to let me know ahead of time that the chicken and beef items could not be made GF. I had the egg omelet crepe, and shared a banana Nutella crepe. The crepes are lovely and slightly sweet, the eggs were cooked perfectly,and the veggies and fruit were fresh. Definitely will be returning to try other things.

I was very impressed with the BLT Savory Crepe. First time having avocado and hard boiled egg on a BLT. I loved every bite. Crepes are all GF. BLT is definitely GF. People behind counter were very knowledgeable about GF items

Enjoyed the Matcha Adzuki rice crepe; with green tea gelato, red bean paste, custard cream, whipped yogurt, strawberries and almonds. They left out the pocky sticks for a delicious gluten free adventure in pleasure.

Tell the counter folks that you need gluten free. The crepe is 100% rice flour. Only a few items have gluten ingredients which can be left off your crepe.

I’ve ordered from here at least a dozen times in the past year. I always let them know I have a serious wheat issue and I’ve never felt sick. Just be careful about what you order since some items do have gluten. Pretty tasty too!

This place is fantastic! Most of the menu is GF - just avoid pocky sticks, granola & teriyaki sauce. Staff was extremely kind & knowledgeable and immediately recited the ingredients I couldn’t have and said they would change their gloves before preparing my food.

Crepes are all rice flour- completely gluten free. Very few ingredients used in the restaurant have gluten (teriyaki for example) so it’s very easy to have them make a celiac safe crepe. Chicken teriyaki made with just plain grilled chicken is my celiac daughter’s favorite!

It was so so good and the service was amazing. I will definitely come here again because all of their crews are gluten free.

Haven’t posted a review yet but had to after I saw the last one for Amai crepes in Rockville. I read it and thought “huh?” The crepes are great and they do have many gluten free options that don’t need changes. For some of the dessert crepes they might just need to leave out a pocky stick which they will do when you let them know you need gluten free. I go there often (too often).

Do yourself a favor and go here. My Crêpe was the most delicious thing I’ve ever had. All crepes are made with rice flour, they’re thin and crispy. I got the blueberry cheese one.. and subbed for strawberry custard cream and chocolate gelato instead of vanilla. Just tell them you’re GF and they won’t put in the pocky. Most if not all other toppings are GF.

No problems with cross contamination here! All the crepe bases are gluten free. They are served in a cone shape and almost look like a flower. The food was amazing. I had a BLT crepe that included avacado and a boiled egg. Yum.

This place is amazing! When I asked the servers if all the crepes were gluten free, they were able to instantly tell me which selections were safe (almost all of them) and what modifications could be made to make the rest safe. They didn't have to ask a manager or consult an ingredients list. They had proper training and knew the answer. I got the chocolate lover's crepe (with no pocky sticks) and it was incredible. I will definitely return!

Crepes are made with rice flour so other than a few sauces, it is Gluten-free friendly. And the food was absolutely delicious - authentic, amazing flavor, and a lot different than the generic crepe place! Try it out yourself, it won’t disappoint!

Almost the entire menu is gluten free. Not sure about Celiacs, you’ll have to ask.Think wrap sandwich with a crepe - both sweet and savory options. The matcha chocolate truffle was heavenly! Delicious Twinkleberry Cheese smoothie. Had a BLT today and was told the sesame sauce is GF. No reaction so must be correct. The crepes are made with 100% rice flour. They also have coffee and tea selections, as well as parfaits (but the parfaits are not GF). A.MA.ZING!! And they’re works of art!!
