Arepita Café

The highlight of my work trips! I eat almost every meal when im in town from here, it’s kind of embarrassing lol. Ive never gotten sick and the food is amazing! Sometimes I crave the yuca fries and the huevo arepa with cheese so bad I actually wish for a work trip

Gluten free marked on menu. One of the owners came up to our table and told us all the precautions they take in the kitchen. Food was great.

The servers were very knowledgeable about Gluten and Dairy allergens. There were several vegetarian options on the menu as well. The majority of menu items are Gluten free and the whole menu clearly marks this. The texture of the arepa is amazing and the empanadas were the best gluten free versions I have had. The base for all the gluten free carbohydrates is corn.

We were in Atlanta and visited another Venezuelan restaurant. It made us appreciate this restaurant even more. The staff is very friendly, the food is excellent and they aren’t stingy with the sauces. Most of the menu is GF.

I LOVE this place! They are super knowledgable with GF (and I have lactose intolerance, too). The menu is clearly marked GF, vegetarian, vegan. Separate fryer for fries! Many many delicious GF options. Family owned, great atmosphere and stellar service!

Consistent with other reviews, fabulous gluten free experience with delicious food. I got a burger and a chicken arepa after a long hike, and devoured both in record time. Fries in separate frier.

Menu was marked on line and in person with GF items and waiter was knowledgeable. Good selection of GF items, food was enjoyable and there were even GF desert options. I had arepitas for an appetizer-little corn cakes with cheese, arepa sandwich with sliced beef, tomato, avocado which was plain but helped by the cilantro sauce served on the side and sweet fried plantains. Flan for dessert, also good. The food was not spicy and served with several sauces to dress up the flavors. Most of the items seemed to be corn based and not wheat based, did not enquire about cross contamination but I suspect there isn't much wheat flour used in the kitchen. I am intolerant and get sick at Starbucks from cross-contamination, but do not usually have strong reactions to french fries and that kind of thing, so I did not ask about all the safety precautions in the kitchen and cannot speak to the safety of sensitive individuals. Service was good and they seemed used to having gluten sensitive people in, I'm sure they would have answered questions if I had asked.

Wonderful food, even better staff! We stopped in to place a carry-out order and the chef answered my questions about the gluten free options and their kitchen procedures. Much of the menu is naturally gluten free (noted with markings) and they are very aware of cross contamination. We placed our order with the owner and while we waited he reassure me multiple times of the care they take with keeping gf food separate - including a dedicated fryer. Everything I ate was delicious and I didn’t get sick. All their sauces are gf too. Can’t wait to come back!

Great food! Alot of gluten free options! They were extremely careful and told me exactly how things were cooked. They have a separate fryer as well. Menu clearly marked.

Staff was very knowledgeable, and they have separate fryers for the few breaded items on the menu. Food was really great, service was quick. This was a first time visit and the server answered all of our questions since we were not very familiar with the different items on the menu. Everyone’s food around us looked great as well. Happy to have found a new spot in Johns Creek!

Celiac friendly?

Menu was clearly marked, and the food was yummy! Had delicious empanadas as our appetizer. Lots of different arepa options for the entree. Will definitely return soon!

Delicious arepas and empanadas made from corn! I am celiac and have found my new fav place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff is very knowledgeable and the food is delicious! I have celiac and have never gotten sick here.

Good food, friendly staff who will ask questions if they don't know. I really liked the arepas here. They came to the table warm and yummy. Menu is clearly marked

Traditional Venezuelan at it's best. The AREPAS are naturally gluten free and vegan. They are made with 100% corn flour. The best AREPAS in the Atlanta area!!!. A large selection of vegan and vegetarian items as well. We also serve Cachapas, Tequeños, empanadas and more. Large selection of vegan, gluten free and vegetarian items on the menu.

I am Venezuelan and this restaurant reminds me of home. Traditional Venezuelan food. Much is made with corn flour. My husband needs gluten free food and they had a lot of options for him. A win-win situation!
